The southern region of the Coristel Continent, within the borders of the Gabriel Empire, near the southern forest of Brusk City. The abnormal changes in Brusk City had finally attracted a large number of imperial soldiers. However, it was already morning when they arrived, and the zombies had melted away in the sun. Aside from the melted corpses, there were no clues in ruins, which was once the city.
The Moon Demon King’s trail was nowhere to be found. Sand Demon Brandgore left no traces behind either. What happened in Brusk City last night had become a mystery. Since no survivors could be found, the truth behind the incident hadn’t yet been determined. Due to the traces of dragon activity found in the area, the imperial army took advantage of the situation and simply pushed the blame to an unknown Dragon Race.
The imperial soldiers who were here to investigate the scene came from many different forces. With her Demonic Eye, Bella could see that clearly. Even her political ally, Prince Frauer had sent soldiers from his army. Since Bella was now traveling with Prince Brad’s two granddaughters, she temporarily avoided his men to avoid any misunderstanding.
This mysterious incident had disrupted the arrangements of the various forces. Those trying to prevent the princesses from returning to the capital had lost track of their whereabouts. Bella and the others had already passed through the dense forest and began moving towards the Empire, successfully leaving those forces behind in Brusk City.
It was early morning now. At the edge of the creek deep in the dense forest, Bella and the others sat on board a carriage that had been lengthened. According to the directions provided by the Demonic Eye in the sky, this creek was actually one of the branches of a certain river that passed through the capital. By following the creek, one could smoothly reach the capital.
The Demonic Beasts pulling the carriage were replaced by the A+ class Wild Forest Lions that had been captured as laborers. Their supervisors were the S+ class Dark Saber-Toothed Tiger and Hell Iron-Beaked Bird. These two mutant Demonic Beasts were promoted by Bella and finally got rid of their fate as laborers and were responsible for overseeing the work of other Demonic Beasts pulling the carriage.
The scene in the carriage was provocative. The lolis were outside the carriage, appreciating the scenery. Those in the carriage included Bella and her team. The noble ladies who had been rescued last night had their hands bound behind them with red ribbons, black cat ears on their heads, and bells around their necks so that Bella and the others could hold them in their arms like pillows or pets.
Kriss thought about it last night. Every time she participated in this erotic activity, the remaining four swordsman princesses would hold a beauty in each arm. The dense forest was very cold at night. To keep warm, the princesses had to hug them tight. Due to the cloth balls gags in their mouths and being held by the imperial princesses, these noble ladies didn’t dare to struggle and could only obediently be taken advantage of.
Bella held Sarah and Cathy in her arms. The two sisters were already awake and looking at each other with flushed faces. Bella held their heads in place so that they couldn’t avoid looking at each other no matter how ashamed they were. The two were bound with red ribbons and wore accessories similar to the other noble ladies, except for the black rabbit ears on their heads.
Aside from Kriss sitting cross-legged and wearing a thin white silk dress, the beauties in the carriage were all naked. One could imagine just how crazy it was last night. Without Bella’s permission, the beauties didn’t dare move for fear of being punished. Thus, they could only maintain their shameful postures.
“Cathy, Sarah, do you get along now?”
“Bella, you’re so mean for bullying us.”
“Bella, can you please let me go? I really… don’t…”
After being bullied, Cathy’s temper had disappeared entirely. She softly begged for mercy now. Both sisters were pressed together, chest to chest, so they could feel every strange sensation on their nipples. If this were to continue, the two would really fall into the abyss of girl-on-girl. Without the slightest intention to let them go, Bella kissed their cheeks a few times and changed their positions, binding them face to face.
“Why deceive yourselves? Cathy, before we get to the capital, you sisters must get along well! Look at Miss Sarah’s face. Doesn’t that charming little mouth make you feel anything?”
“Bella, no. I can’t keep falling… No, Sarah, why are you moving close? Don’t… don’t listen to the temptation of this demon!”
“Cathy, I–I want it.”
Having been seduced by the Demon King’s words, Sarah kissed Cathy’s lips. It seemed Sarah liked the feeling of bullying the older sister who had always looked down on her. Convinced by Bella’s words, Sarah’s strange attributes were aroused and amplified. Cathy couldn’t escape this time. She could only accept Sarah’s kiss as she twisted her body, soon falling into that strange feeling.
Bella then turned to the noble ladies. Since they had witnessed the ambiguity between Bella and the princesses, they had to either join in or be killed. The aristocratic ladies’ resistance and willpower had been worn down by Time Space Demon and erotic loli Noesha, and very obediently signed a Demon King possession contract with Bella.
This contract was lower than the contract signed by the swords maiden princesses. It was one of complete servitude, where the signatory would become the servant of the Demon King. The contract the princesses signed for was the Demon King’s subordinates as their status was much higher than that of servants. But even they were forced to bear Bella’s bullying.
After signing the contract, these noble ladies would serve as maids until they arrive at the capital. Their service would be regarded as special remuneration for saving them. Having recovered from their injuries, these ladies possessed a certain strength. However, they were afraid after being bullied by Bella and didn’t dare resist.
Bella wouldn’t give them clothes before they arrived at the capital. Without clothes, none of these girls dared to escape naked, so they were forced to stay in the carriage and act as Bella’s maids for her enjoyment throughout the journey. The carriage now flew Prince Brad’s flag, signs of identity which Bella found in the Brande Hotel last night. They turned out to be useful now.
It wouldn’t be long till they reached the capital. Traveling through the dense forest was a shortcut. Additionally, the “horses” for their carriages were extremely strong A+ class Wild Forest Lions, plus the two S+ class Demonic Beasts, the Dark Saber-Toothed Tiger and the Hell Iron-Beaked Bird. Along the way, there were few beasts that dared to stop their carriage. Other beasts would hide as soon as they saw them for fear that they would be caught and used as laborers like the Wild Forest Lions.
The next evening, Bella and her team finally arrived in the dense forest just outside of Gabriels City, the capital of the Gabriel Empire. Gabriels City, also known as the City of Swords, was said to be named in memory of the Sword God Briels, the first swordmaster in human history to reach the level of the Sword God.
Aside from the Sword God Briels, the Gabriel Empire had produced a total of nine Sword Gods over 10,000 years since the successful war against the invasion of the Ancient Twelve Demon Kings. The pinnacle of the swordsman profession was difficult for ordinary folk to achieve. No matter how high their talent was, the body couldn’t stand so much cultivation. Many swordsman experts wouldn’t be able to break through to the next level in their lifetime after reaching the Sword Sage level.
The Gabriel Empire’s last Sword God appeared more than 1,500 years ago. It had been that long since the Empire waited for its tenth Sword God. In fact, the answer had long been there. Kriss had already surpassed the level of Sword God. If she went public, she would be the tenth Sword God, but Kriss had no such intentions yet.
The entire Gabriels City wasn’t much different from the largest city that Bella had ever been to, Macnadix City, the capital of the Manasvir Empire. But since Gabriels City was divided into two by a river that flowed through the city, it appeared smaller in size.
The Claudine River, which flowed through Gabriels City, resembled the Seine that passed through the French capital back on earth. It was known as the longest river in the Gabriel Empire. Apparently, the river was named after the legendary third Sword God and the only female Sword God in the Empire’s history.
The other eight Sword Gods were all male. The names of the princesses of the Gabriel Empire either began with the letter K or C. According to folklore, the practice was to commemorate the female Sword God in hopes that more female Sword Gods would be born from the princesses in the future.
Gabriels City was closed at night, so no one could enter the city. When Bella and her team arrived, the city gates had long been closed. Although Time Space Demon Noesha could easily solve this, they were rather tired after traveling for a few days. Hence, Bella planned to camp by the Claudine River for the night and wait till tomorrow to enter the capital. Since the Claudine River extended beyond the city, Bella might take a ship into the imperial capital.
Over the past few days, their carriage was surrounded by many A+ class demonic beasts like Wild Forest Lions, White Striped Black Bears, Misty Clouded Leopards, etc. They were all laborers that had been forcibly recruited. These beasts were forced to serve as “coachmen” and “bodyguards” for the Demon King’s team to keep their lives.
Once the carriage stopped, these beasts dispersed to take on guard duty. By the time Bella and the others alighted from the carriage, these beasts had already brought wood and helped them light a campfire. There were beasts that knew fire-type magic. They learned techniques for lighting a campfire, which Bella taught them just so she could be lazy.
The beautiful girls on the carriage came down and sat around the campfire. Demon God Angel summoned ghosts to fetch water from the Claudine River. Bella and the others camped on relatively high grounds, a small hill not so far away from the Claudine River. Sending Demonic Beasts to fetch water was too eye-catching, so ghosts were a better option.
After adapting to a few days’ worths of erotic training, the other sword maiden princesses and noble ladies, as well as Cathy and Sarah, had become accustomed to being naked in front of Bella. They sat around the campfire obediently, allowing Bella to appreciate their naked bodies. Their snow-white skin had a charming luster under the firelight, forming a captivating picture.
This beautiful scene was exclusive to Bella. Once they entered the capital, she wouldn’t be able to appreciate it any longer. Bella got up and wandered around the campfire, stroking these beautiful girls one by one as if playing with treasure. Aside from satisfying her strange hobbies, she also measured their bodies so that she could design clothes that suited them before entering the capital tomorrow. There was no way she would allow her girls to enter the capital naked.
Kriss and the lolis had arranged their defenses for the night. Bella could now bully the beauties as she pleased. Faced with Bella’s violations, these beauties merely blushed, too afraid to make any noise. Their acquiescence allowed Bella to be bolder. Her caresses grew more and more wicked.
“We will be separated temporarily tomorrow. I really can’t bear to be apart. Tell me the location of your room. You’re not allowed to lie. If I can’t find you because you lied, I’ll have to punish you once I catch you!”
“You should act according to my arrangements for the blind date. You can ignore the emperor’s arrangement; just listen to me.”
The princesses and aristocratic ladies had no way of resisting the overbearing Demon King. Since they knew they could no longer escape her hands, they obediently agreed to all her requirements. Bella painted a transparent mark of the Demon King on them so that she could locate them at any moment. The place on which she painted this mark was truly wicked. The princesses had their chests painted on, while the noble ladies were painted all over.
With that, Bella pulled out transparent collars and placed them around their necks out of wicked fun. As long as this item was there, they wouldn’t be affected and controlled by other sorcery or magic. Although the collar looked rather erotic, it was effective.
When Kriss returned, Bella’s evil plan had been completed, without any traces left. Kriss didn’t notice their flushed faces. She seemed to have something urgent to say to Bella and had no time to pay attention to this. Only Time Space Demon Noesha realized what happened and revealed a knowing smile. However, she didn’t point it out and pretended to know nothing.
“Kriss, what’s the matter? You look terrible. Aren’t we close to your home?”
“Bella, there seems to be unrest outside the city. Come with me, you’ll understand”
Bella put on her Black Knight armor and headed to the highest point of the hill with Kriss. Gabriels City was brightly lit with various military camps everywhere. The various forces had already stationed their troops near the capital. By the looks of it, they would form an uprising at the slightest chance.
The army of Prince Frauer, who was the younger brother of Emperor Alfred the Third and Bella’s political ally, controlled the southern region of Gabriels City, while the northern region was controlled by Bella’s opponent, Prince Anders, the emperor’s father-in-law. He supported Prince Daniel’s succession to the throne and advocated for weakening the power of the aristocrats in the southern region of the Empire.
The western region of Gabriels City was controlled by Prince Brad, Emperor Alfred the Third’s brother. His two granddaughters, Cathy and Sarah, were now on Bella’s side. The eastern region of Gabriels City was controlled by the army of the eldest son (the emperor’s son-in-law) of the Leonard clan, the largest clan in the Empire. To sum things up, it was a war between the entire family. Perhaps this was what politics was.
Bella and her team were now camping in the area where Prince Frauer’s army was stationed. Prince Frauer was considered Bella’s political ally as the two sides currently had a cooperative relationship. Hence, they were safe for the time being. If it weren’t for Cathy and Sarah’s presence, Bella would have liked to visit her political ally. To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, it was better to avoid them first.
Bella couldn’t help lamenting how big a failure Emperor Alfred the Third was. Even the rebels in the Manasvir Empire hadn’t been so bold that they encircled the capital. The only thing they didn’t do was hang the rebel’s flag. It seemed this blind date event was really dangerous.
From their actions, there was a possibility of a battle regardless of the outcome of the event. Even the soldiers and warhorses were stationed here. Could they be here as spectators for the event and retreat at the end? This was impossible. Bella wasn’t sure about the other nobles, but Prince Frauer certainly wouldn’t. Having spoken to him before, Bella knew exactly what sort of man he was.
“Kriss, don’t worry. I’ll take care of these troops. Just wait to enter the palace tomorrow. If I can help Empress Manya Felan ascend the Manasvir Empire throne, I can certainly help you…”
“Bella, I’m not interested in the throne. Big Sister Manya Felan has been running the Empire for thousands of years. I can’t compare to her. Why don’t you take…”
“Kriss, stop joking around. I have to return to the Octavia Empire in winter. If I become the empress, the old emperor will probably vomit blood out of anger. It’s not like you don’t know that.”
“You’re right. Let’s talk about it tomorrow when we enter the city. I hope everything goes well. At the end of the day, the common folk will be the ones injured. It’s best if this doesn’t happen.”
