Kazuya was trapped. Again.
Not in chains. Not in a dungeon.
But in a bed.
A very soft, warm, and dangerously comfortable bed.
And next to him…
Lady Ravynne.
Wrapped in a silky robe, her long dark hair cascading down her shoulders, she smirked like a predator watching her prey.
"Can't sleep, Kazuya?" she murmured, her voice smooth as honey.
Kazuya stiffened. "N-NOPE. I AM WIDE AWAKE."
She chuckled. "Oh my, perhaps you need a bedtime story? A lullaby? Or maybe…" She leaned closer. "Some… warm milk?"
SOMETHING IN KAZUYA'S BRAIN SHORT-CIRCUITED.
His soul attempted to flee his body.
"LADY RAVYNNE, PLEASE—"
She smiled. "Oh, darling, there's no need to be shy."
Kazuya rolled to the edge of the bed. "I RESPECTFULLY DECLINE ALL ADVANCES."
Lady Ravynne pouted. "What a shame. You're missing out."
Then, as if the universe itself was trying to ruin his life, she yawned, stretched, and pulled the blanket over both of them.
Kazuya's heart slammed against his ribs.
THIS TRIAL WAS A DEATHTRAP.
Suddenly—
BOOM!
The castle doors exploded.
OUTSIDE THE BEDROOM – CHAOS UNLEASHED
Sylvara had arrived.
Wielding her flaming dragon sword, her eyes blazing with fury, she stormed through the castle like an unstoppable force.
"KAZUYA, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!"
Behind her, Bradimus hurled holy water on everything.
"BEGONE, THOTTERY!"
Celestia sighed, flipping through a magic tome. "I swear, every time we come here, it gets more ridiculous."
MILF GUARDS RUSHED IN.
"STOP THEM!" one shouted.
Sylvara dropkicked the nearest guard out of a window. "WHERE. IS. MY. MAN?!"
Bradimus yeeted a chair at another guard.
"REPENT!"
Celestia casually froze two guards in place with a flick of her wrist. "Let's just find Kazuya and leave before we get another MILF curse."
BACK IN THE BEDROOM
The commotion outside reached Kazuya's ears.
Sylvara.
HIS SALVATION.
Kazuya sat up. "LADY RAVYNNE, I GOTTA GO."
She chuckled. "Leaving so soon? But we were just getting—"
BOOM!
The door exploded.
Sylvara stood in the smoke, eyes burning with DRAGON RAGE.
"KAZUYA."
Kazuya threw himself off the bed. "BABE, THANK GOD—"
Sylvara pointed her sword directly at Lady Ravynne.
"You."
Lady Ravynne smiled. "Oh my, the jealous girlfriend has arrived~"
Kazuya broke into a cold sweat. "OKAY, LADIES, LET'S NOT START A—"
Sylvara lunged.
Lady Ravynne countered effortlessly, dodging with a smirk.
Kazuya crawled to the corner of the room. "OH GOD, IT'S HAPPENING."
Bradimus kicked down the remains of the door. "BEGONE, SUCCUBUS."
He hurled holy water at Lady Ravynne.
She sidestepped gracefully.
Celestia facepalmed. "This is just embarrassing."
THE ESCAPE PLAN
Sylvara grabbed Kazuya's wrist. "We're leaving."
Kazuya nodded frantically. "YES, MA'AM."
Lady Ravynne watched them go, smirking.
"Oh Kazuya~ You'll be back. The MILF Mountain always calls."
Sylvara gritted her teeth. "LIKE HELL HE WILL."
The rescue team fled the castle.
As they reached their ship, Kazuya collapsed onto the deck.
"I'M FREE. I SURVIVED."
Sylvara crossed her arms. "We're having a long talk about this later."
Kazuya groaned. "I already know I'm screwed."
Celestia patted his head. "You always are."
Bradimus raised a fist. "LET US NEVER SPEAK OF THIS AGAIN."
…
MEANWHILE, BACK IN THE CASTLE…
Lady Ravynne sipped her wine, watching their ship sail away.
Lady Belladonna walked up beside her. "So… he passed the trials?"
Lady Ravynne smirked. "He resisted. Barely."
General Helena cracked her knuckles. "Then the next trial will be even harder."
Madam Evangeline adjusted her glasses. "He will return. They always do."
They clinked their glasses together.
