He had already gotten used to her zealous tendencies, so he swiftly ignored her comments as he stared at the priestess of the Red Temple with a neutral expression. From time to time, she would attempt to recruit him for the devises of the Red Temple or to outright convert him to the faith of the Lord of Light.
Something that he had already been resisting for some time because he wasn't really keen on believing in any god.
"You can save that religious speech for another time, Mellisandre."
Valkorion said as he laid down a bit, tired from the entire day, and saw that the red witch chuckled over his antics. She had attempted to subtly convert him to the faith of the Lord of Light for some time already because it would be a tremendous merit for the Red Temple.
She was aware that her efforts would mostly be useless because someone as ambitious as Valkorion Nerona wouldn't submit to another one, even if it meant accepting the Lord of Light as his God.
Melisandre knew these types were; they would never worship any other entity, most probably because they desired the ascendance towards Godhood themselves, as that was the place where their ultimate ambition lay.
For that, it was impossible.
Still, it had already become such a small game between the two of them, as she always tried to influence his decisions and draw him to her side, albeit the results were zero to none, but it was fun.
A good way to pass some time.
Seeing that she ceased his efforts in her persuasions to become a believer of the Lord of Light and a member of the Red Temple, Valkorion closed his eyes for a bit as he tried to rest. He was already tired enough from the entire day and from the training he had with his newfound strength, so he felt like he was without any energy.
Since the time he advanced to the Sequence 6 Beast Knight, he was training almost non-stop and constantly fighting in the Grand Volantene Arena to hone his skills and adjust to his newfound power.
Fortunately enough, the progress was rather steadfast, or he would be far grumpier about the situation. Just as he closed his eyes, Melisandre started putting down her clothes while occasionally watching Valkorion, who still had his eyes closed as he attempted to get some sleep.
Unaware of the fact that he wasn't really and that he could see her naked, captivating body...
He would be lying if the two of them didn't have a lot of sexual tension between them after living together for several weeks straight in Cartharys.
Even during her stay in the Cartharys, she would constantly be teasing him and wear tight clothes that hugged her figure almost perfectly, which highlighted her curves and made her seem even more erotic.
However, what was surprising was that his senses picked up her looking in his way, meeting his gaze, as she was doing this on purpose. Obviously, she was very skilled in the art of seducing, even though only she knew that she wouldn't let someone who she considered unworthy to touch her.
Bad memories from the times as a slave in the Stygoi and Asshai in the Shadowlands.
For Valkorion, Melisandre was a very problematic person to deal with because it was extremely problematic to predict what she was thinking, even though he had a certain hunch about what she was thinking about.
If she couldn't lure him to their side in a more open way, she would seduce him to create a relationship with her. This was already problematic as heck, but at the same time, Melisandre was one of the most beautiful women that he had ever seen in his life, and he was also pretty much pent up.
When he was in the Cartharys, he would visit brothels from time to time because they even had some Pure-Blooded Valyrian women or even some from the Golden Empire of Yi Ti, even though the cost was really extraordinary for one night with them.
In fact, that was one of the first things that he did when he had enough money was to visit the brothel, and since then, he has been rather a frequent visitor to the brothels in Cartharys once or twice every month.
Even though it was extremely pricy, because the very high-class prostitutes were rather expensive, they were beautiful and young, and there was zero risk of getting some disease or anything.
So even if he traded several tens of Gold Dragon Coins to lose his virginity, it was still a good deal. Not to mention, if one had a good relationship with whores, it was possible to learn a lot of interesting information because nobody knew more than whores...
It often led to unforeseen benefits. With that, he understood how someone so insignificant like Petyr Baelish in the canon could rise to such great heights. In the end, knowledge was power, information even more, and having knowledge about secret information was the ultimate power.
For that, he regularly gave the whores and prostitutes nice bonuses after a good night, so they could collect some interesting info for him.
Suddenly, he felt that she sat down on his lower hips, completely naked, as she stared at Valkorion, who slowly opened his eyes when he sensed that she was sitting on him while he took some time to marvel at her beautiful figure.
"So... it already came to this? You know that seducing me won't result in anything aside from some slight affection, but not enough for me to be attached to the Red Temple."
He stated that while he certainly wanted to fuck Melisandre, he wouldn't really pass this opportunity up; at the same time, he didn't want to get things complicated. In truth, they were something akin to friends, and he wasn't aware of how this could change their relationship.
In his past life, he had never encountered a situation like this or even anything that was remotely similar to this, so everything that he knew was either from the movies, TV, and so on.
"I am aware, but I can still bet on it... aside, I have my needs, and the selection of worthy males isn't really that great in these ends."
She said lightly while tracing his finger over his chest seductively, as he grabbed her by her firm ass, which was rather a pleasant surprise to him because she wasn't any kind of warrior or trained person in physical combat.
Melisandre had a very toned body and nice proportions; she was slim in figure, but her breasts were rather large, and he could feel her wetness down.
He didn't wait for any more and kissed the red witch passionately, even though something in the back of his mind was telling him that this was a mistake and could end rather well, but seeing the bewitching red priestess being naked, sitting on him, and pushing her breasts towards him was the last thing that was needed to break his barriers.
Soon enough, just moans of pleasure echoed from the carriage for many hours until both of them were completely satisfied and exhausted from the intense physical activity.
