At the Gabriel Empire’s capital, Gabriels City (Sword Capital) imperial city palace area Rose Palace, the Rose Banquet was still ongoing, but Bella had already left in low-profile. She had left with Olya but also pulled along both Helena and Kriss. As the Hilikas family elders could not figure out Bella’s relations.h.i.+p with Olya, they were helpless and could only allow the girls to leave.
The Hilikas family couldn’t compare with the Ostafa family’s power. As the empire’s internal situation was still uncertain, it was unwise to offend the northern Octavia Empire. The best plan now was to have the twins, Calman and Cahlia, scout out the enemy. This was a very risky operation, so it was possible that the two sisters would not return.
Emperor Alfred the Third wanted to seek out Bella for a talk, but she disappeared before the banquet even began. The evening had just arrived as the climax of the banquet had yet to even begun as Bella had disappeared without a trace. According to the guards who were guarding the gate, Bella disappeared after she left the palace, and they had only seen Princess Kriss, who had gone back to her own palace, as well as Olya, who left. Even Miss Helena, who was with Bella, disappeared.
Relying on the magical teleportation array left behind by Time s.p.a.ce Demon Noesha, Bella had snuck out of the imperial city long ago, dragging Young Mistress Helena along with her under the Emperor’s nose. Bella was definitely the only person who would dare to pick a person from the imperial city area. None of the guards were able to find any of her traces at all. They even managed to fool the special eyes set up by the Hilikas family, much less the imperial guards.
When they saw the Southern Alliance’s emissary leave, other than the Emperor’s father-in-law, Prince Angus, the other princes left quickly. Even though they were the Emperor’s brothers, they were worried that the Emperor and the Hilikas family would take them as hostages. While the special envoy Olya had not gone far, they also slipped away while the Hilikas family and the Emperor had their hands tied.
The three great families also slipped away after that. The Renald family was the first to leave, after which the Ignazs and the Johnstons followed suit. The powerful members had already left the banquet before the climax began, leaving behind the normal n.o.bles with no actual power as they were dispensable in the Rose Banquet.
This made things awkward for Emperor Alfred the Third, who had originally planned to take advantage of the Rose Banquet to pressure Prince Brad, Prince Frauer, and the three major families of the empire and show his imperial authority. The one at the top of all this was Bella, but she had long disappeared. Who knew where in the capital she was hiding, but the Emperor could only hold his smile and continue hosting the banquet.
It was hard for the Hilikas family who planned all this to take this disrespect too, but they couldn’t just speak out about it and only pretend they expected this from the beginning. The two sisters, Calman and Cahlia, were also arranged to accompany Princess Kriss while inquiring what Bella’s relations.h.i.+p was with the Ostafa family.
Bella had returned to her secret base at the imperial city, staying at the abandoned warehouse that belonged to the Ignaz family’s patriarch, Grand Duke Ignatius, waiting for midnight to fall. The fake Empress Deborah the Fifth asked Bella to meet her at midnight at the Star Rain Palace in the imperial harem, as it was still early evening, so there was time!
Empress Deborah the Fifth had pa.s.sed Bella a large chain of keys as well as a map of the Emperor’s harem. With these two things, it wouldn’t be difficult to infiltrate the harem and find the Empress. Olya was currently still staying around in the capital. With her here, Bella could take advantage of the Ostafa family’s power to avoid all the meaningless hara.s.sment tactics and spying from the Hilikas family.
Grand Duke Ignatius had no idea what Bella was doing in the abandoned warehouse in his backyard. Bella brought Young Mistress Helena with her as well this time. Bella had clearly seen the strange look on the face of the Johnston family’s patriarch, Grand Duke Johnsker. She was afraid that Helena would be grounded once she returned, so she could only bring her back to her base first and wait for the situation to clear up.
The secret warehouse had charming sights as far as the eyes could see. The young mistresses of the various powers had all been confined here with the fair complexion of their bodies reflecting with a charming l.u.s.ter under the light.
While she was attending the Rose Banquet, Bella had asked Demon G.o.d Angel outside the city to help through telepathy, summoning ghosts to help steal food from the kitchens in the palace and bring them back to the girls here as dinner.
Beautiful girls were sitting in a circle atop a soft mat at the center of the warehouse. There were Prince Brad’s two young mistresses, the Cathy and Sarah, Prince Anders’ Andanetta and Andanielle sisters, Prince Frauer’s Young Mistress Doris, as well as the Ignaz family’s Second Young Mistress Irina, and the Renald family’s Young Mistress Renath, seven in total, all confined in this warehouse.
The bindings on the beautiful maidens had long been undone, but they had been starving for so long that their legs were weak and they could hardly even stand, much less run away. They were all in the same seductively undressed state and could not leave the warehouse like this. After Bella returned, she enjoyed dinner with these beauties.
The red collars were still around the necks of the beautiful girls, while the other end of the chains were attached to the poles in the warehouse. The bells tied to the two “rubies” on their chests were not taken off either, and with those still around, they would make a loud noise just by moving, completely eliminating all hopes of them escaping.
Bella did not bring any fork and knives out of her bad taste, so the girls were forced to lick up their food straight from the plate just like pets. Such an erotic play was something Cathy and the other young mistresses could not even dream of, as they were all pleading with Bella.
“Mistress Bella, could we…”
“No, just eat like this. Trust me, you’ll fall in love with this feeling later. Being raised as a pet is a delightful feeling.”
With a nasty grin on her face, Bella tugged on the chains in her hands. Cathy and Sarah at the front were the first who gave into Bella’s demonic temptation and crawled towards the food, lowering their heads to taste it. They were truly starved, so they didn’t care if it were humiliating. They were all in the same boat right now anyway. They didn’t even have clothes anymore, so what other secrets were there between them now?!
Seeing that these young mistresses, Cathy and Sarah had already given in, Young Mistress Doris gave in as well and licked at her food in the same shameful way as them.
Renath and Irina, the two young mistresses from the three great families, could not escape Bella’s demonic claws either. They were put in a face-to-face position by Bella and took turns feeding each other with their mouths. Bella was enjoying their performance from the sidelines. Under her incessant bullying, the lily attributes within these young mistresses were rapidly awakening.
Bella’s focus of bullying turned to the sisters, Andanetta and Andanielle, who had just recovered not long ago. The two beauties had their legs spread apart, each sitting on each of Bella’s thighs, the mysterious garden between their legs making intimate contact with Bella’s skin without any hindrance. In the bursts of friction, a strange feeling was spreading out through their bodies.
The two sisters were forced to snuggle in Bella’s arms, allowing their b.r.e.a.s.t.s to be sucked by her. Bella personally fed these two sisters. These two warriors, who were the dreams of countless men, were now just like soft kittens in Bella’s arms, allowing her to bully them.
“Bella, we’re fine now, so let…”
“Bella, we can eat ourselves…”
“You’re not recovered yet, so just stay here and recuperate. Otherwise, don’t even think about leaving.”
Before Andanetta and Andanielle could even finish pleading, Bella had already caught their little mouths, feeding them the food that had already cooled down in her mouth to the two sisters. After being fed several times in a row, the two sisters finally became compliant and did not dare to say no to Bella anymore.
Although Bella hadn’t officially eaten up the two sisters yet, both Andanetta and Andanielle had become completely wet down there, after some teasing. The strange wet stains were particularly striking on the mat. This was truly too different from actually being bullied. They lowered their blus.h.i.+ng faces, not daring to face Bella’s evil gaze.
“President Andanetta, Vice President Andanielle, your bodies are so sensitive. You’re already feeling it.”
“Please don’t say anymore, Bella! I’ll stay here, and you can do whatever you want with me, but please let my little sister go!”
“No, you still have things to do, big sister! Bella, I’ll stay here, so let my big sister return, okay?”
“What wonderful sisterly love! Then isn’t it better if you both stay with me? Look at Cathy and Sarah, aren’t they doing the same? I won’t allow you two special privileges!”
Bella had never planned to let these two sisters go from the very beginning, but since their bodies had yet to recuperate, it was better to keep them by her side so she could take care of them. It would be best if she could get their bodies to submit first.
Andanetta and Andanielle allowed Bella to kiss and feed them. After they were full, their bodies had already become aroused from the kissing. Even if the girls knew that they would become Bella’s possessions just like the other girls, they could no longer escape from her control any longer.
The little sister Andanielle had already given in. When Bella kissed her, she would take the initiative to engage her tongue with Bella. The older sister, Andanetta, was still struggling a little. The two sisters who were l.u.s.ted after by countless boys had now been taken advantage of while they were powerless and weak from injury, but Andanetta hadn’t given in yet.
“Bella, you’re taking advantage of us. I won’t… Don’t touch me there, no…”
“President Andanetta, you’re already aroused. How much longer are you going to go against your heart?”
Bella pressed her hand on Andanetta’s secret region, and it felt as if she had been electrocuted. The last trace of courage she was able to build up with much difficulty shattered completely. In front of Bella, who knew the weaknesses of beautiful girls, she had zero chance to fight back.
“President Andanetta, if you don’t want me to bully you in front of your little sister, then be obedient! Wouldn’t it be nice if you could behave like the others?”
“You should be thirsty now, right? Why don’t you drink something!”
“Bella, wait. I can do it mysel…”
Bella gently pressed her hands against Andanetta’s smooth back and made her lie down on the soft mat like the other girls. Andanetta looked at the small bowl of milk in front of her with a blus.h.i.+ng face. If she really had to lick it, she would really be no different from Cathy, Sarah, and the others.
“President Andanetta, there is a limit to my patience. You wouldn’t prefer if I do something even more exciting, would you?”
“No! I’ll do as you say, so please be gentle to my sister and me in the future!”
Andanetta finally obeyed Bella and abandoned all of her modesty, licking up the milk obediently like a real cat. Seeing that her sister had thrown in the towel, Andanielle had also given up completely and got down to lick the milk just like her sister.
Looking at the two well-behaved sisters in front of her, Bella revealed a satisfactory smile. Now, these two sisters were considered to be conquered. Based on Emperor Alfred the Third’s plan, this year’s Hundred Flowers Festival was going to take place on the campus of one of the Twelve Academies, the Elitechra (warrior) Academy.
The two sisters, Andanetta and Andanielle, were the president and vice president of the Elitechra Academy, respectively. Taking them down now was also a part of Bella’s plan of infiltrating the Elitechra Academy in advance.
Right now, the only ones left that Bella had yet to “attack” in the Gabriel Empire’s upper rung n.o.bility were only the Johnston family’s young mistress, the priest and swordsman dual profession Helena, and the two Hilikas family twins, Calman and Cahlia. The others had all fallen. After the Manasvir Empire, there was a possibility that the Gabriel Empire might become the second empire to be controlled by lily power.
Bella got up and headed to the door just to see a shocked Helena. From her red face, it was clear she was still in a daze from seeing this erotic scene. Without even needing to guess, Bella could tell instantly that this was Time s.p.a.ce Demon Noesha’s little prank and deliberately made Helena walk in to see this scene.
“Uh… Bella! I went the wrong way, so please don’t mind me!”
“You’re at the right place, Miss Helena. Come in!”
Helena had gone to bathe earlier and came out with only an aqua blue towel around her body and a pair of sandals on her feet. Her aqua blue hair was still wet. A girl who had just come out from the bath like this would still be quite an alluring sight.
Since they were all girls, Helena didn’t think too much about it and came to find Bella, completely defenseless with nothing underneath her towel. And now, she had just sent herself up as a “special delivery.” With a gentle pull from Bella, the towel was pulled away from Helena’s body, instantly revealing her plump and fair body in front of Bella.
By the time Helena came back to her senses, Bella had already put on a red leather collar around her slender neck with a thin chain attached to it, the other end of which was held in Bella’s hand.
Helena did not even have the opportunity to escape before she was picked up by Bella and carried into the secret warehouse in a princess carry position. Out of embarra.s.sment, she had completely forgotten that she was a swordsman and a priest with the ability to resist.
Bella had only put her hand on her because she had already been aroused after seeing Helena’s body stripped of her bath towel. The last one to peek, Irina, was already inside. Since Helena peeked as well, she would have to stay just like Irina.
Last time at the Sky Pool Palace, Bella had already seen all of Helena’s naked body, so there should have been nothing to be embarra.s.sed about. However, this was different from that time. She had no idea about Bella’s strange hobbies back then, but as she knew now, she just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
“Don’t do this, Bella! I’m still a priest of the Radiant Church. If you do this, that would be…”
“Big Sister Helena, this is the exclusive cross belonging to the few Holy Maidens of the Radiant Church. Based on the rules, it can be used to a.s.sign tasks to the lower clergy members.”
“Bella, how did you get the crosses of the Holy Maidens? And a full set… Could it be, you and the Holy Maidens have…”
“Forget about that for now, Big Sister Helena. Based on the church’s rules, you have to stay here in the warehouse and accept all my arrangements!”
Helena looked at the full set of exclusive crosses owned by the four Holy Maidens of the Radiant Church that Bella took out and could only obey her orders. She was still a priest of the Radiant Church and had to obey the senior members. Bella did not push Helena down immediately as she still had an appointment to attend to this evening.
“Big Sister Helena, just take good care of them for now and don’t run around. I’ll consider releasing you when the Hundred Flowers Festival begins.”
Helena nodded and agreed to Bella’s request to take care of the girls in the warehouse. The other girls were acquainted with Helena, but having already gotten used to such erotic plays, they wouldn’t feel embarra.s.sed even in front of their acquaintances anymore.
After settling everything and leaving the place to Demon G.o.d Angel and Evil G.o.d Mia to handle, she teleported to the imperial city together with Time s.p.a.ce Demon Noesha. It was not midnight yet at this moment, and the Rose Banquet was still going on, so Emperor Alfred the Third was currently still at the Rose Palace.
Following the map, Bella and Noesha quickly found where the Empress was located. Under the effect of Noesha’s spatial curtain magic, it was as if she and Bella were invisible. n.o.body could see them at all.
In this Other World civilization, eunuchs that were present in ancient Chinese palaces did not exist here, only palace maids. When they entered the Emperor’s harem area, even the guards were female. It was as if she had stepped into heaven.
