As this was my mont of death, I didn’t care anymore.
If I couldn’t get what I needed through honesty, then lying it was.
’Let’s see how this plays out.’
I imdiately cooked up sothing obnoxious as I turned to face Kassie, my chest rising and falling, each breath weaker than the last.
"Kassie..." My voice ca out barely above a whisper. "There’s no hope for ... I think I’m going to die..."
She frowned.
"I’ll find soone. If I have to scale this entire frozen hellscape, I’ll bring you help." She stood sharply, but I caught her hand before she could move.
My voice erged weaker now, hoarse, punctuated by coughs. "Do you want to leave to die alone...?" I managed a pained smile. "And please... I wouldn’t want you running around in the cold... butt naked..."
’This damn place doesn’t deserve to see you in your glorious booty, damnit.’
She stayed still, looking down at with furrowed brows.
I took a shallow breath and continued. "But I want to live... and I’m desperate." My gaze sharpened, focused despite the pain. "Kassie, there might be a way for to survive..."
My survival ant her own. After all, we were bound together in this ss.
Kassie regarded with intense seriousness.
"Tell , weakling. I will find it."
’Good... foundation laid. Now let’s begin building this beautiful lie.’
"Do you know what Lira and I usually do?"
Kassie narrowed her gaze, sothing dangerous flickering in those eyes.
"I’m well aware. You slap her rear arrogantly." She paused, seeming genuinely puzzled. "I cannot understand why she always sounds and looks so happy even when she’s being hurt by a weakling like you... your strength in those certain areas is quite baffling..."
’Huh?’
"Huh?"
’Wait a minute... don’t tell this is what she ant when she said I was strong in certain areas...’
"H — how do you know?"
Kassie looked at flatly. "I live in your soul plane. And for so reason, you always leave the windows open."
Embarrassnt washed over like a shaful cloak, hot despite the cold surrounding us.
’Wait, wait—don’t lose focus, Cade. This is a pivotal mont. You can die embarrassed later.’
I looked at her sternly, pushing through the humiliation. "Then I need not say much." I held her gaze. "Kassie, the only way to save right now... might be fucking ."
’Nope. Total lie. I just want to make sure I fuck a hottie like you before I die so I can brag in hell. Priorities.’
Although, sothing told my obnoxious story wasn’t going to sell.
She glared at with pure disgust.
"At the end of the day, you’re only a featherless fowl. Unshaful, undignified pervert."
I squinted in small indignation and coughed up so blood. She moved toward to help, but I smacked her hand away. "Look at , Kassie — I’m dying." My voice cracked with desperation, real this ti. "Will dignity save ?"
I let that hang for a mont.
"Fuck dignity, Kassie. I want you to fuck and save my life!"
That last part echoed across the cavern expanse as I shouted, my voice reverberating off the frozen walls.
’Subtle. Very subtle, you fool.’
Kassie gave a stern look. She still wore that frown, but she wasn’t saying anything. The silence stretched between us.
Then, hesitantly: "How... how is it supposed to help you?" She looked genuinely confused. "Isn’t that what people do when they want to make babies? How is making babies supposed to help you live again..."
I sighed and looked away, resting my head against the cold stone.
Inside, I was reeling.
Who would have thought my badass Kassie — the Red Conqueror herself — was such a cute, innocent girl?
’Make babies. Pfft. Who even does that these days?’
My eyes drifted back toward her, gaze darkening with what I hoped looked like sincerity.
"Sex has advanced so much, Kassie. It’s now a form of communication." I ward to my bullshit, really committing now. "In my world, it evolved into a healing ritual. People co out worn and torn from life’s daily battles, and they have sex once — just once — and they feel refreshed. Renewed." I nodded sagely, like I was imparting ancient wisdom. "It works like magic, I tell you."
’Look at . On my deathbed. Trying to convince a woman who destroyed an entire Empire to let hit. I’m iconic, honestly.’
She looked uncertain and confused, her confidence from monts ago completely gone.
I added my final card to help her decide.
"My survival is your survival. If I die, you’ll die without ever exacting vengeance on the Church." I let that sink in. "Think about it..."
She seed to actually think about it.
It was surreal, seeing this version of her. She was the complete opposite of that arrogant, dominating Empress who’d terrorized kingdoms. Right now, she was like a clueless, innocent princess.
My own princess.
’Oh oh... I’m so gonna fuck you dry... and die happy while doing so.’
It was going to be a cosmic scam. But she wouldn’t be able to avenge because I’d be dead. ’The perfect cri.’
I was grinning like a devil, my master plan crystallizing in my dying brain. I usually wouldn’t resort to thods like this—I had so standards—but did I care right now?
I was dying.
Nothing mattered.
"How..." Her voice was small, uncertain. "How do we go about it?"
I frowned at her.
"What sort of—" My eyes widened in that mont, genuine shock cutting through the manipulation.
"Wait." I stared at her. "Kassie, don’t tell ... you’ve never done it before?"
She frowned at as if I should know the obvious. "Why would I ever?" Her chin lifted with a flash of that imperial pride. "I have never seen any man worthy of mounting ."
I was genuinely shocked for a mont, the words not quite processing.
The great Red Conqueror was a... virgin?
I was going to be taking her virginity.
Suddenly, this felt even more aningful than it had before. More significant.
’This is either the greatest victory of my life or the worst decision I’ll make before dying.’
Probably both.
