Cardinal Sins
by princess-of-doctors
British Empire, Hampshire, Winchester - Julian Calendar October 23th, 1348 -
Dark clouds were forming, betraying the previous sunny day and before long rain began to fall hard, soaking the land of Winchester. But that alone didn’t make the people -who had been gathering in the churchyard and having a commotion- to dismiss themselves. Their resolves were final, reflected by the fire of their torches which strangely unflagging.
“We are sick of these already! We paid our tithes and nothing in our life has changed!”
“The plagues spared us no mercy!”
“This is hellish!”
“We don’t want to encounter hell while we are still living!”
“The church has done nothing!”
“Burn down the church!”
“Yeah, burn it!”
The group of peasants gave no longer any regards about God, Heaven, and Hell. All they knew was the church seemed to be untouched by the plague, and getting even wealthier. The tithes demand continued and the already poor peasants couldn’t afford any longer.
The commotion attracted some soldiers who came to accompany the blond knight and were ordered to wait alongside near the church. They approached, trying to calm the people but was futile as they were cornered by peasants who won in number.
“Move aside, soldiers! Either join us or return to your barracks!”
“Yeah, you soldiers are in our way!”
Before the enraged peasants could do more harm to the unfortunate soldiers, the main door of the church opened and the blond knight emerged. His azure eyes stared coldly and he bore expressionless face.
“What are… these?” Ayuru hissed icily. So many unpleasant events encountered just in a day. First, the incompetent works of the maids in his lord’s manor. Second, the appearance of the spoiled brat-like pureblood vampire princess on midday in the church. And now, there was this commotion. He was in high urge to slaughter these people in a blink but he didn’t felt like dirtying his hands with their blood tonight. He was not in the mood. However these annoying peasants kept screaming nonsense to his ear.
The soldiers managed to break away from the crowd, who were now distracted by the presence of the breathtakingly handsome yet menacing-looking knight. The soldiers went to the Ayuru’s side and one of the soldiers filled in the situation. Now grasping the situation, the knight nodded and smirked before giving his command.
He decided then to let his soldiers do the deed.
“Kill all of these idiot peasants.”
“But Sir!” a soldier protested “they are civilians and there are even women-”
“Don’t make me repeat my order, soldier! Do what you are ordered to.”
One of the peasants, supposedly their leader, took a step forward and yelled out loud, “How dare you! You, the knight and soldiers, have you forgotten your code?! You choose the church over us! How-”
“Protect the weak, defenseless, and helpless, and fight for the general welfare of all. Yes it is indeed the code, but you peasants are wrong to make the church as your enemy. I changed my mind about keeping my hands clean for today, for I will gladly send you to Hell with my own blade.” The knight smiled darkly.
The leader of the crowd could only manage to widen his eyes in fear before pain rose along as a sword pierced through his heart.
Three knocks from the wooden door woke him. Groaning, he sat up and irritatedly ordered the knocking person to enter. It was already late at night.
The door creaked open and high heels clicked as the person entered and there stood a woman. She was quite pretty in her age of 20s. Her long straight burgundy hair was tied neatly in a bun. She bowed as he stared at her and introduced herself.
“My apologies for interrupting your moments, I was sent here as requested, Sir Gi. My name is Kaen, at your service.”
Her brown eyes sparkled with hidden lust. Her body, although wrapped in golden hue elegant dress, was exquisite as if were made to satiate the men’s needs. Anyone who saw her feature would tell that she was a fine noblewoman, but in fact, she was nothing close to aristocratic.
“You are the one in charge to please me tonight, aren’t you?” He said uninterestedly.
The courtesan didn’t catch his ‘uninterested tone’; she smiled seductively before opening her scarlet glossy lips, “Yes, Sir. What do you want me to do first?”
The knight paused for a while. Sure he didn’t get laid for weeks but that didn’t make him hungry for woman’s body, even he never that buoyant in sleeping with woman before. He knew his sexuality preference for him being dislike men, but he never reach the desired climax while getting laid, ever. The countless sex he had in the past been only done to fulfill his biological need, that’s what he believed. And events happened in the past few days didn’t help him. After much contemplation, he decided the easiest way.
“We’ll have it with your mouth.”

The Vampire King’s Castle - Julian Calendar October 23th, 1348 -
“Where were you?” A simple yet sharp question startled Yui. The room temperature was suddenly dropped quite significantly. The blond pureblood didn’t have to look over as the owner of the voice was now in front of her. The extremely tall figure loomed over her and she looked up to meet his cold hazel eyes.
“Father… I thought you were still with the elders in the audience chamber.” She said meekly, trying her best to maintain her composure.
“Your faint aura indirectly told me you were outside again,” the vampire king emphasized his last word and ignored his daughter’s remark, “Have you forgotten your status as the heir of the undead realm?”
“I went for a stroll and enjoying fresh night air-“
“You disobey my orders. Again,” His eyes now golden, glaring at her teal, wide with fear eyes, and then interrupted his daughter’s another attempt of explanations, “a punishment will be yours to endure.” The tiara on his forehead gleamed with his rising voice.
She squirmed, “But father-“
“No more excuses!” The vampire king turned his head looking towards the door, furiously ordered the two vampires which had been stationed at the door of the princess’s room.
“Guards, lock this chamber and make sure she never come out or I’ll turn you into pieces.”
His extremely long steel gray hair, creating a contrast against his black robe, swayed gracefully as he left her room.
The guards nodded against their king’s order and bowed to their princess.
“We are sorry, Your Highness, but orders from His Majesty are absolute,” said one of the guards before bowing and closed the door.
Finally alone, Yui couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. Her eyes, which had started watering as the guard closed the door, finally dropped tears, from being drops to flows. However she held the sob, her pride didn’t allow the guard outside to hear her wept.
Father… Why? After mother died, you’ve been always so cold towards me. What have I done wrong?
The silence in the room ironically was the answer to her question. The candles flickered, illuminated the dark room, but the temperature was dropping even more, along with her heart.

British Empire, Hampshire, Winchester - Julian Calendar October 23th, 1348 -
“That’s enough.”
His short statement brought the courtesan’s mind back to reality. She was still in her afterglow. She came already just from giving a blowjob to her client seating on the chair, and she even didn’t use her fingers to satisfy herself yet. She usually reached her peak after a few rounds with her clients. She utterly embarrassed but hid it under her expression; she glanced up to meet his indifferent client’s gaze.
“What do you mean, Sir? Am I not satisfying you enough?” She wiped the cum from her face and reaching out to touch his cheek but was instantly rejected. Kaen made a face and drew her hand back hastily and as she tried to get her mouth worked again, the knight snapped.
“That was a dull one. Why can’t you, a high-level courtesan please me?” Ayuru snorted.
Her eyes widened. Any whore would quiver at his cold tone, but her being a courtesan was calm enough. She composed herself before hesitatedly asking her current client.
“Which part did you find me unpleasant, Sir? Maybe I could do something to-“
“Get out. I’ve lost my mood already. Go get your payment in the room adjacent to this.”
“But, Sir-“
“I said get out, you whore!” He barked, startling the woman, “Courtesan or not, you’re still a whore.”
She grimaced before gathered her clothes and dejectedly leaving the room quietly.
Finally alone, Ayuru released his anger by hitting the wall with his jaw clenched tight. Why even that courtesan didn’t suit him? And the worst, why when he unconsciously imagined the blond vampire princess at the last, he was brought to his climax? He never imagined another woman while he was with a particular woman! And the princess was looked like only 17 in human age. Her body was not fully developed like the courtesan -Kaen if he remembered her name correctly- did. Hence why did he felt aroused at the image of the pureblood kneeling in front of him and doing the pleasure thing to his manhood?
Damn, the previous sinful image made his member stirred. Aggravated by this, he hit the wall again until his knuckles bled. He then stormed out from the room, deciding to take some fresh air in the balcony close to his room. In his way to the balcony, at the long, dimmed light corridor that only had candles as the lighting, he met the guard man from the first class brothel in Winchester. The person chuckled and glided towards him, his voice eerily resonated in the empty corridor.
“Aww, that was too quick~ are you bored with Kaen already?” The person sniggered with closed eyes, his long black hair tied in a ponytail rocked with his refined movement.
“Chuuin, bring me younger one next time. I hate adult woman in bed, too persistent and demanding. And I want a blond.” With that he passed him and walk further before turned in the corner at the end of the corridor.
The man addressed as Chuuin grinned at his request prior to spoke to no one in the eerie corridor.
“So that’s your type, eh? Why didn’t you tell me sooner, I could find a perfect one for you~”
His amber eyes gleamed with sinister before he went to the opposite direction from the knight, leaving the corridor at last bare.
