The captive lady had a very pale and ugly look or her face, she could barely believe the barbarity these people had, she was prepared to die or even be tortured, she was mentally ready for everything she was taught about what happens to captured agents. But this was not in the books, in fact such acts even her religion thought demeaning and they sought to cleanse the world by all possible means. Abuse for the sake of abuse. They would not even let her be traumatized or shut down her own emotions, they will make sure she feels every bit of it and they would not stop even when she was broken and begs for any release, and when they are bored of her she would be turned into nothing but a husk empty from all she treasured and fought for her entire life and then she would be used to betray all of it, he friends and family he lover, her G.o.d and even her faith. That is worse than becoming a traitor no matter how you look at it."What happens if i answer your questions" the captive asked a futile question in a last attempt to save herself from such fate. Leol answered her "best case scenario you will die immediately, worse case scenario prison and you have to provide information whenever needed, if you do especially good, you can name those you would like us to keep alive and they can join you in prison" he did not mention the nightmare scenario,for her to be planted as an informer inside her own cult while thinking all of it was a cover, if Bai was merciful.
"I will talk then, ask whatever you want" the kids returned back to their location in front of the captive and started interrogating her. They asked her name, age, her family situation, where was she born and raised, where did she study, are there any other locations she is aware of, how many of her superiors are in the guild, how many operatives does she know about and their locations, where in the dungeon are they located, are there any bases in the church, and many such question. The woman was true to her word and she answered honestly, even when the others asked their questions she replied with a dispirited look.
Once all the questions were answered and recorded Bai went ahead and read her memories about some details she missed out, or visual and auditory information that can not be described accurately, such as faces and voices, the plans of the bases and holds she was part of, and such details that can only described without perfect clarity.
But when Bai ended his memory magic she finally understood that she was played with by 10 year old, the possibility was real but these people were not as much of maniacs as they are portrayed, she laughed heartily when she understood that even if she talked or not, she and everyone she new or cared about will die and all she did was give the kids what they wanted, because she clearly heard the woman who threatened the kids with torture a.s.sure the kindly looking old man she a.s.sumed was the pope that she would never teach it to them until they are ready for it in 10 years or even later.
It was a ruse and the kids used it to perfection, manipulating her into voluntarily cooperation, this Debauchery party is very scary, she was told they were only level 20 just like her, but she completely outcla.s.sed by them even in the mind games, and in the end she didn"t even retain the dignity of her faith nor her family, she just betrayed it all willingly, it would have felt better if they just read her mind. She really was broken beyond repair now and not even time can heal her from this one.
The lady made her piece about death when the big scary orc approached her, but she was surprised that what came was a whisper and not death, the orc was even gentlemanly about his request "Lady, i like your body type and i was hoping if you could give yourself up to me for a night of pleasure, i promise you i don"t have any weird or twisted tastes, so think about it" the lady did not even know whether to laugh or cry, but she still smiled at him and said "if you promise to kill me after you had your pleasure, i will let you try whatever you wish, anything as long as i don"t live after you are done with me". Dustan just nodded at her and whispered "Deal".
As for the rest of the day she watched Debauchery beat the living daylights of the their students healing them rest for a bit and start all over again. For the whole time she sat tied to her chair no one paid attention to her except for lunch where she was hand fed by the scary orc. She did not even try or want to escape, she wanted to die, but she had to wait for the orc to finish teaching the kids how it feels to be sent flying by an orc.
When the sun was about to set everyone went their own way, and the villa was left only for her and the orc who untied her and motioned for her to follow him, he did not even spare a thought about how she might harm him not because he was naive but because it was futile.
As for the kids, they were finally able to return to their room and rest properly, they sent the girls to get dinner, while the boys went ahead and brought a bed and a closet for Lili, although everyone could neatly in the room it felt a bit crowded, until dinner was served and from then on it felt cosy and warm.
It was finally time to focus on training before the mission of "cult hunt" -as dubbed by Dustan- was initiated, the kids did not have much time and only the road of struggle would yield the sweetest of fruits.
