Chapter 98: Her New Life As A Knight

"I don't remember meeting Lady Isabelle during the war in Taverin," Valerie mumbled, when Raphael finally unlocked her bedroom door for his wife. The room was different from the one in the Chastain mansion. Not too wide and the lighting waa dim.

Valerie could see that the bed was quite firm with white sheets and blankets. When Valerie sat on her bed, she felt like she was on a piece of wood. Luckily she was familiar with sleeping in a less comfortable place. It was the thing that made the knights even more wary.

The room would only be a place for them to sleep after a day of activities. Lots to do at headquarters. It was said that Raphael also had his own office where he and his team would receive assignments from the generals.

"Isabelle Wichita is the younger sister of Duke Ray Wichita, ruler of Aetherna. She is also the head of Florentia's research and development division. Like Rutherford, she is not directly involved on the front lines. They become support to provide various logistics and weapons of war," Raphael explained as he loosened his shirt and lay down.

"What is the division doing?"

"Creating weapons, researching new weapons, including research the enemy's technology and preparing ways to deal with it. Isabelle is a reliable engineer,"

"Oh, now that Margaret Rain is on our side, Florentia will give birth to many good new weapons. Not to be outdone by Avalon. I mean, Avalon scientists and engineers are insane people. But that's why they always think a few steps ahead," Valerie responded.

"Margaret Rain? Is she the child you gave a scholarship to at Lapella? She is the one who made defenses for the port biram village and able to take on the Shadows without the help of the knights?" Raphael confirmed.

"Yeah, impressive isn't it? They even caught Caesar Petrovsky,"

"What? Why didn't I know that? Caesar? Trapped by humans?" Raphael seemed to have a hard time hiding his laughter. It didn't suit Petrovsky's character at all.

"Oh, didn't we tell you that?" Valerie thought, maybe it was because she didn't think it was important enough to tell.

"I guess Caesar was just off guard. when he was assigned to hunt down and capture the Shadows type C. They are creatures that are difficult to kill. I hope that doesn't catch you off guard, Val. Even if an enemy looks weak, that doesn't mean he can't kill you," Raphael advised.

"I know," Valerie recalled when she faced General Gunther a few months ago. Even though he was breaking his leg and ribs from falling into a ravine. But he remained so strong that Valerie nearly died.

That said, Caesar had a grudge against her for that. Gunther was one of his mentors. Caesar had every good reason to kill her but that didn't happen. Was Caesar really waiting for her to be stronger before facing him?

Valerie's face, which was serious in thought, made Raphael pull her hand closer to his body. The commander gave her a kiss. 

"Why suddenly kiss me?"

"Because I know you're thinking about Caesar and I don't like it," he said again.

"I know I've asked this before, but— are you sure you've never kissed another girl besides me? Even the inexperienced me knows that you're really good at it," Valerie teased slightly.

It wasn't the first time Valerie had said it. Normally, Raphael's reaction would be to firmly shake his head and say that Valerie was the only woman he's ever touched. He said that he was very busy and didn't have any chance to date anyone. Valerie Looks believed him. Only, this time it was different.

Raphael turned his face the other way and didn't answer immediately.

"I told you that you were my first woman right?" Raphael said affirmatively. Valerie was suspicious. Why was his attitude a little different? Besides, Raphael was not a man who was good at lying.

"Did you do something?"

"No! What do you mean?"

Raphael looked restless and got up from his bed. He knew that he might be intimately involved with Ivanka. But it was all done unconsciously. He didn't want to feel guilty about it. But he wouldn't tell Valerie either. He didn't want any unnecessary fights. Even though Valerie didn't have any special feelings for him either, she had high self-esteem. She would probably be disappointed in Raphael and their relationship soured. Raphael didn't want Valerie to have a reason to leave him.

"No need to be upset, why do you look uncomfortable?" Valerie detects her husband's uneasiness.

"I want to take this uniform off for a bit, it's uncomfortable and makes me feel hot," Raphael confessed.

"I'll help you," Valerie sat in front of him and unbuttoned his clothes.

Raphael was silent while looking at his beautiful wife. Raphael had a lot of things he was hiding from Valerie. It was not just about Ivanka. But also how he couldn't see Valerie like he used to since the first time the commander discovered her identity as a woman. Actually, he desired her even before they married. Raphael thought that maybe it happened because Valerie was the first naked woman he had ever seen.

Raphael often imagined Valerie standing with her hair wet and still dripping with water. He remembered the innocent look in her eyes and the way she begged not to tell anyone for fear of getting into trouble. For the first time, the upright Raphael wanted to take advantage of his position and imagined various inappropriate scenarios against Valerie at that time. Luckily his logic prevailed, and in the end—though not in his plans for life—he married her. And ever since he first touched her, Raphael seemed to have a new addiction and only Valerie could be the antidote to his thirst.

"Valerie Chastain, you are now officially a Florentian knight with the rank of 1st lieutenant. I hope you will continue to show your achievements for the glory of the Florentian vampires," General Harvey Von Maxwell saluted her. Valerie did the same.

She was slightly thumping with excitement. It made him forget her tiredness. Raphael, looking for an opportunity in their busy life to having sex. They did it so often on so many occasions that she became used to it. It was inevitable, they were newlyweds. So Valerie will accept it. After all, Raphael was a normal man with biological needs.

Valerie had received her uniform and an emblem that marked her as a knight. There was a slight emotional feeling creeping up her chest at this moment. Maybe she'll cry for reasons she didn't really understand.

The procession was not very formal. There was only her, Raphael, a few knights whose faces were unknown as well as general Maxwell. He was the last general to deal with Valerie. The woman only knew Maxwell. Different from when she'd met at the Taverin or at her wedding— Maxwell looked humble and regal.

He had several subordinates with serious and firm expressions. He also wore his uniform and epaulets on his clothes. Maxwell was the only Florentian general whose powers were unknown. Valerie wasn't even sure if he could fight? What was clear, the aura of a general was different. Valerie couldn't resist the urge to be submissive towards him.

Maxwell was a tall, slightly skinny man with light blond hair. His face was pale as if he hadn't drunk enough blood and he looked as if he could collapse just by being blown away by the wind. But he was a general. One must be very accomplished and strong to be able to occupy that position.

"I want to have a pretty serious talk with you, Valerie Chastain. Can you all leave us alone?" Maxwell ruled. He also looked into Raphael's eyes. The commander bowed to show his respect and obediently left Maxwell's study.

"Well, I heard you want to leave the jaguar team?"

"That's right, sir,"

"That means you will abandon your status as Raphael's blood partner, and not use it in the military. Are you sure? Blood partners usually go on missions together,"

"We believe that it will be okay, Raphael has also agreed and respects whatever decision I make,"

Maxwell sat down at his desk and he asked for Valerie to sit in another chair.

"I can see that you are ambitious, Valerie..That's a good thing, but passion alone isn't enough. So, what are your strengths?" Maxwell looked at her seriously.

"I'm a cursed weapon user and once killed an Avalon general," Valerie said confidently.

However, Maxwell chuckled in response.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. Of course as a knight, being strong is important. But, strength is not everything in the military," Maxwell said again.

"Can you explain?"

"Before I continue this conversation, I want to say that I have agreed with the other divisions regarding you. I may need to be honest with you, if before we found out about your request to leave Team Jaguar, I was already planning to recruit you,"

"Recruiting me?"

"Now you're officially going to work under me, Valerie Chastain.. As a spy for the Scout and Intelligence division I lead," said Harvey Maxwell, flashing her a smile. Become a military spy? Would it make her stronger?
