Hero of Darkness

Kahn stood rooted on the spot as the Raven Sorceress suddenly hugged him out of the blue and said that she missed him right after her reappearance in Verlassen fiefdom after more than a month. 

He is not able to make sense of what was happening at this moment at all. 

Just this evening after, Ronin received the message from Kassandra, the heiress of the Mikealson Clan who very recently saved Kahn's life instead of protecting her own. 

Kahn on the other end, sacrificed a portion of his soul to repay this life debt to ensure her survival despite the cost both of them had to pay. 

Kassandra told Ronin to set up an urgent meeting only between herself and Kahn. So the rogue general informed his master about it. 

Hence, Kahn came at night while avoiding the public eye or bringing any of his generals together. This mansion was currently occupied only by Kahn and Kassandra. There weren't even normal guards on the gates of this mansion as if Kassandra wanted to maintain utmost secrecy. 

Yet Kahn spread his assassins and many magician subordinates in the 5 kilometers vicinity just to check if there was any sort of magic formation or trap he failed to sense. 

But surprisingly, there was no hidden formation or any force trying to ambush Kahn either. 

Kassandra, who was in violet attire that made her look like a princess or even a queen of an empire based on appearance alone, suddenly hugged him. 

Because of which, he was taken aback by this sudden change in Kassandra's behavior. 

"I've missed you." spoke Kassandra after Kahn asked her the meaning of her actions. 

There was no malice or any hidden motive that Kahn could sense from her expression either. Even her eyes had nothing but warmth in them. 

[System, check if it's because of the soul link. Could it have affected her mind in any way? This is so not like her…] thought Kahn. 

[System detects that neither the host nor the individual named Kassandra Mikealson is under any influence because of the soul link.] reported the system. 

[Fuck! I should've brought Armin with me. Maybe he'd be able to detect something.] he thought. 

Kahn hid the surprise on his face while he tried to read Kassandra and the situation around them. 

There was no one present in the 5 kilometer radius. No formation, no barrier and not even a recording artifact. Yet Kassandra was acting strange and suspicious for some reason. 

"Alright, this is completely unexpected." said Kahn and he gently grabbed her arms and slowly created some space between them. 

"I'm sorry if I startled you. I should've talked with you personally before I invited you here." said Kassandra with a light smile on her face. 

"Why did you call me here?" asked Kahn with a curious countenance. 

"The truth is… I… I… I have…" spoke Kassandra but she suddenly started stuttering. 

"I have been thinking about you ever since I left Verlassen. And after thinking about it over the past month. I've come to realize that I…" she said and continued as her pleasant voice landed on Kahn's ears. 

"I like you. I like you very much. 

And I couldn't wait anymore to tell you my true feelings." confessed Kassandra with gleaming eyes. 

Kahn on the other end was neither baffled nor surprised. Instead, a different memory was running in his head at this moment. 

Kahn remembered the situation and air around Kassandra the last time they met and had a walk together in his castle's main garden. 

Kassandra back then was a prideful, firm and strong woman regardless of the injury she was recovering from or the pain of losing Issac, her cousin who was like a younger brother to her. 

Even though she was suffering through a lot, she still maintained the tough girl act. 

The independent and talented young woman with an unyielding mindset was now acting completely out of character as if she suddenly became a needy woman who desperately needed a man in her life. 

Completely opposite of what she acted like during all the encounters she had with Kahn ever since they met in the finale of the Emperor's Chosen competition. 

HOWEVER… 

Suddenly… a pleased expression appeared on Kahn's face. 

His entire countenance changed from that of dejection to a man who felt happy and even flustered after Kassandra's confession. 

Kahn then turned his head away and spoke shyly… 

"I… I've missed you too." he said in a cheerful tone. 

Kassandra was suddenly taken aback by Kahn's words. 

"The truth is… I fell for you the moment I saw you. I know it sounds very stupid but for the first time... My heart fluttered for someone after we met." he said in a gentle and caring voice. 

Kassandra suddenly felt like the feeling was mutual between them and then closed her eyes as she forced herself onto Kahn. 

She kissed his cheek, then neck, and soon, her hands started running through Kahn's undercoat and his shirt. 

One by one, she started unbuttoning his shirt and as she was done… her soft palms ran through his chest and ripped abs. 

Kahn on the other end, grabbed Kassandra by her waist. His right palm grasped her left cheek and the thumb touched her luscious lips the left hand pulled her in his embrace. 

In the following moment… Their hot bodies were closely stuck to each other while Kahn's masculine palms and strong arms ran over her back under the layer of her clothes. 

Kahn then kissed Kassandra on her forehead… then her neck. And just like her… he too started to undress Kassandra as if he could no longer control himself and had given in to his deepest desires. 

He kissed both her cheeks over and over while Kassandra hugged him even tighter than before. Both of their bodies turned hot out of nowhere. 

Kahn picked her up from her hips and took her to bed. 

At this point, Kahn's upper body was completely exposed after Kassandra took off his clothes… 

Kahn too slowly took off her top while only her red lingerie that was covering her two mountain peaks remained. 

Kassandra's face turned faint red and she quickly wrapped her legs over Kahn's waist as she came close to his face. 

She wrapped her arms around Kahn's neck and both of their gazes met each other with a sense of unending yearning. 

Their hot breaths collided against each other as the distance between their lips kept shortening. 

Both of them were in total heat at the moment and the look on their faces felt as if both of them were nothing but a man and a woman reveling in ecstasy, wanting to ravage each other. 

And finally when there was only an inch gap left between their lips… 

Kassandra closed her eyes, waiting for a passionate kiss. 

He embraced her tightly with his arms. 

Kahn finally spoke the three magic words… 

"You disappoint me."
