Approaching the village, I already curse my luck and dread that they might need my help. See, I don't like helping Mamono. Not out of racism, but every single time they try to reward me with sex instead of money, always ignoring that being a mercenary is my job and I do need an income. Regardless, my honor demands that I go and see what happens and help. Who knows? Maybe for once they're all married and rich enough to actually reward me.
Seeing the knight about to decapitate the helpless Succubus, I become furious "Hey!" I yelled, and they turned to face me. "Who do you think you are doing this!?" I demand. "We're knights of the Order, sellsword. Holy Paladins here to vanquish evil!" they say with blatant disgust towards me. I smirk "Holy Paladins? All I see here is a bunch of lowlife thugs attacking defensless womenfolk! If you want a real fight, here I am!"
Furious, the leader of the knights swings his sword at me, but I quickly parry it and punch him in the gut with enough force to send him flying into a tree. As the other knights look at me in both shock and anger, I smile "Thanks, Aegis, I really wouldn't know what to do without you." suddenly a voice emerges from my armor. "Let's hope we'll never have to find out, my love."
A few minutes later, I defeated the entire Order platoon, who were clearly not expecting anyone to truly put up a fight. As I prepare to leave, the Succubus from earlier embraces me and with an expected level of sultriness asks how she can ever repay me. Looks like some things never change after all.
Luckily for me, the village elder and his wife do have the sense to pay me with actual currency. As they thank me, I leave again to continue my earlier route, now eager to find a inn to, eh, help Aegis blow off some post-battle steam.
