At the Gabriel Empire’s capital, Gabriels City (Sword Capital), at the gathering place of the Ignaz family of the empire’s three great families, Grand Duke Ignatius’ mansion. Not long after Bella left, the place was surrounded by the royal guards. Under the pretense of a routine inspection, the general of the royal guards searched the residence of Grand Duke Ignatius.
To find the young mistresses kidnapped by the demoness Bella, the Hilikas family had no choice but to carry out routine checks on the three dukes’ residences, but the search still came up empty. When they came to the abandoned warehouse at the back of Grand Duke Ignatius’ home, the dilapidated warehouse was already empty.
Bella’s demon minions had secretly transferred all of the Demon King’s “collection” to Bella’s base camp, the Belizegra Fortress, before they came. The Belizegra Fortress was a temporary fort built by the Southern Alliance near Gabriels City, in the lower reaches of the Claudina River. Almost five million troops had been gathered in the barracks here.
More than two million troops from the Sarnia Duchy, more than one and a half million Beastmen supporting the Southern Alliance, more than half a million troops secretly sent over by the Manasvir Empire, as well as one million combined members sent by various duchies in the south. There were also more than ten million demons from the Darkness Sacred Region behind the combined forces.
Since this was an internal war between humans, it was not convenient for the demons of the Darkness Sacred Region to step in for now. They chose to help on the logistics end for the more than five million humans in the army, transporting supplies, and so on. This scene was hard to imagine. In the back route of the alliance’s garrison, there were demons, skeleton soldiers, and ghouls carrying heavy supplies like food and weapons to the frontlines.
This unusually terrifying transport army scared off even the bandits of the human continent as n.o.body dared to hara.s.s the food transport team. The Southern Alliance’s army had already gotten used to this sight a long time ago. Using Demonic Beings for labor in the Sarnia Duchy was no longer a secret in the south of the Gabriel Empire.
Bella shared a close relations.h.i.+p with the four Holy Maidens of the Radiant Church as well as the papal heir, President Maria, and Holy Sword Cynthia. With their help in secret, the Radiant Church never mentioned anything about the fact that the Sarnia Duchy had been using demons for labor. If the Radiant Church didn’t find any faults with them, then the other smaller southern nations wouldn’t mention it either.
The arrival of the Southern Alliance’s forces subdued all the rebellious forces entrenched around Gabriels City. The three princes of the empire, as well as the three great families, knew that Bella might send some men over. Except they had not expected Bella to send as many as five million troops. Since each prince only had about a million and a half in troops on hand, the army of the three princes combined still couldn’t match Bella’s numbers.
The original tense situation eased up temporarily, but it was not known whether Bella was here to stir trouble or to support any of the factions. The other four factions had all sent people to the Belizegra Fortress to try probing Bella’s intentions. However, anyone sent over would quickly be sent back by Bella.
It wasn’t once or twice that Bella would be missing under the excuse of her “period,” as many influential people in the empire knew that Bella was probably faking it. However, there was no good way to expose her, so their hands were also tied.
The main commander’s base camp in the central area of the Belizegra Fortress was Bella’s temporary headquarters. Even though it was only temporary, the demons in charge of the construction were all very hardworking as they converted a temporary camp into a luxurious palace, as if it were a temporary residence for an Emperor who was out to oversee things.
After Bella came out from the harem area of the imperial city, she temporarily parted ways with Kriss. As they promised, they would meet again when the Hundred Flowers Festival would begin. Bella’s Belizegra base camp was built with the help of demons. Under the frantic construction of more than ten million demons, the Belizegra Fortress that could house more than six million people was built in less than half a day. When Bella returned, it was just ten minutes past midnight.
Previously, Bella’s meeting with Lisnell happened ahead of time, so Bella went to see the fake Empress before midnight had even arrived. By the time she returned, it was just past midnight. Bella’s sleeping chambers in the Belizegra Fortress were built just like an Empress’ palace. In the Southern Alliance, they had already tacitly accepted Bella as their Emperor.
There was no precedent for a female Emperor to take the throne, but many of the duchy leaders in the Southern Alliance had the wish for Bella to become the true Queen of the South so that the ident.i.ty and status of her initial followers would also rise. Without any historical precedent, they could only wait.
Bella’s sleeping chambers were filled with the color of spring. The beauties who had been moved over had already given up on all thoughts of escaping and were staying quietly in her room, sitting completely naked like a favored consort waiting for the Emperor’s doting. Bella laid on top of the wide bed, holding the two sisters, Andanetta and Andanielle, on each side. These two sisters had already been fiercely bullied and were now resting weakly in Bella’s arms. Their fair skins were drenched all over in sweat in an attractive way.
Cathy and Sarah, the two sisters, were kneeling under the bed on each side, ma.s.saging Bella’s legs. Under Bella’s wicked requests, the two young mistresses from the prince’s families hugged Bella’s calves and ma.s.saged them with their soft b.r.e.a.s.t.s. Bella was lying on her side with Doris behind her as a soft meat pillow, while Bella’s head was resting right on her soft chest, and there was no need to mention how comfortable it was.
“Mistress, are you satisfied with our ma.s.sage?”
“Of course. You girls are really good at this. Tell me honestly now, have you learned this before? If you don’t tell me, then I’ll have to punish all of you!”
“It really is our first time, mistress! Please believe us!”
Under Bella’s fierce gaze, the three young mistresses had become like meek little sheep despite how proud they usually were, allowing the “big bad wolf” Bella to bully them. To be serviced by the three daughters of the prince was something many young n.o.blemen could only dream of in the Gabriel Empire, but now, it had been realized by a girl like Bella.
“I’ll let you go this time, but as punishment, you girls aren’t allowed to partic.i.p.ate in the Hundred Flowers Festival. Just stay here. It’s not safe in the capital, this is the safest place you can be. If any of you have any objections, then say it now. I’m a very democratic person.”
“Thank you mistress, we have no objections.”
Andanielle, Andanetta, and the other young mistresses of the prince’s families had no objections. From the wicked expression on Bella’s face, they knew that whoever objected would still be persuaded through “other means.” What’s more, they were already bullied to this extent by her, so they might as well submit. Besides, they seemed to even enjoy the bullying.
“Send up the evening snacks, I’m getting peckish. That Lisnell is seriously petty, the sweets and tea she offered were so less!”
“Bella, you girls are… Let go of me, Renath, Irina! Don’t be bewitched by her!”
“Helena, you have such a great body. The mistress is sure to dote on you, so stop resisting.”
“That’s right! You were looking at the bed without even blinking just now, and you still want to say that you don’t want to be pampered by the mistress?”
The young mistresses from the three great families also came to the bed. The only one who did not fall was Helena, but she was grabbed on each arm by Renath and Irina and brought before Bella like a prisoner. Helena’s fair white body was already coated in honey, and her rather voluminous b.r.e.a.s.t.s were also coated with cream with two strawberries stuck to the red cherries in front of her chest. Such a tempting and delicious “cream doll” immediately attracted Bella’s attention.
Helena was pushed in front of Bella with her breast at the forefront. With some force from Renath and Irina, Helena quickly fell on top of Bella with her b.r.e.a.s.t.s right in Bella’s face. Bella stuck out her tongue, and while licking the delicious cream on her body, she molested the blus.h.i.+ng Helena.
“Big Sister Helena, I didn’t expect you to enjoy such a wicked way of serving up sweets. This cream is delicious, what a wonderful snack.”
“Stop sucking, Bella. It tickles… Let me go, please! Don’t you already have them?”
“No can do. You’re already here in front of me and you still want to think of escaping? Even if I let you go, the others won’t. Seems like you still have no idea what sort of situation you’re in, so let me show you!”
“What are you doing?! Bella, don’t… don’t do this! Please… Nn…”
With a light nibble, Bella bit off the strawberry attached to the red cherry atop Helena’s twin peaks, after which she fed the strawberry to Helena in a french kiss. Helena was kissed to the point where she was out of breath while both Renath and Irina followed Bella’s signal, pressing the sweet berries on their chests to Helena’s smooth back.
Each of them took one of Helena’s ears into their mouths. Being attacked by three beautiful girls at once caused Helena’s mind to go blank, and her body had already reacted unwittingly and become wet. Even the Radiant Church’s papal heir, President Maria, and Holy Sword Cynthia, as well as the four Holy Maidens, were bullied to the point where they revealed their charming sides to Bella. Helena was only an ordinary priest, so it would be strange if she could hold up.
“Big Sister Helena, you’re already like this down here and you still say you’re not feeling it? Don’t fuss anymore and admit your true feelings!”
“No! I was bullied, it’s not me! No… Stop kissing me, I can’t stand it anymore.”
“Look into my eyes, Young Mistress Helena. Call me mistress! Come on!”
“No… Mis… Mistress… Please let me go…”
Immediately after she called her mistress, her lips were taken again. In this sandwich attack by three girls, Helena fell completely and laid limp in Bella’s arms. This beautiful girl with aqua hair was lying powerlessly on Bella’s chest, becoming another piece in her collection.
The other girls were looking at Bella with enchanted eyes. As if there were a magic spell cast on their feet, none of them wanted to even leave this bed filled with sin. After knowing that Bella had control of the demons, these beautiful girls didn’t think anything bad of it. They had already recognized Bella as their mistress, so they would adapt to her requirements.
Bella continued licking off the cream and honey from Helena’s body with a satisfied look on her face. She wasn’t hungry, but the real reason she wanted a midnight snack was for the deliciousness of it. Helena had already submitted and was no longer struggling, allowing Bella to enjoy her taste. Helena no longer spoke, perhaps due to a small fluctuation of emotion within her heart. However, she was fine on the most part. Either way, she wouldn’t be able to escape from here, as she would be “convinced” by Bella sooner or later.
There were demonic guards without gender stationed outside of Bella’s palace. She and her girls practically never wore clothes in there, so she didn’t feel secure leaving humans to guard the place as she was worried they’d get a look at this wonderful scene. If it happened to be a man, she would have to send her demons to eradicate them, which was rather troublesome. While Bella had an intimate session with the beauties, a group of Crypt Keepers and Puppet Collectors walked into the room.
The Crypt Keepers were the guards used in a Demon King’s palaces, especially the bedroom, private palace, etc. They looked like ancient Egyptian mummies with grey bandages wrapped around them and a terrifying-looking Demon King mask on their faces. They were much stronger than the average ghoul and could see through the camouflage skills of any human a.s.sa.s.sin or thief and then kill them.
Puppet Collectors were Demonic Beings formed from dead bodies and were good at using puppet wire to manipulate their puppets. They were also a commonly used guard for a Demon King’s palace and were used to collect the corpses of any unlucky intruders. Their strength was even more insane than the Crypt Keeper, and since they were formed out of corpses, it was slightly difficult to kill them.
Each Puppet Collector wore strange or supernatural clown masks under Bella’s request since the faces of these Puppet Collectors were basically highly degraded human skins. If they didn’t wear a clown mask, they would look quite gross. Bella would be fine as a Demon King, but many of the girls by her side were humans, and an average human beauty would find it hard to accept such a heavy image. Considering their feelings, it was better for them to wear masks.
Bella’s attention was naturally not on these demons but rather on the people they brought. There were a dozen beauties all stripped of their clothes, who were dragged over like prisoners. Both their hands were bound behind them with puppet wire, and a special black metal collar was put around their necks. There was also a small red ball gagging their mouths.
These naked beauties were strong, but they were captured by the Puppet Collectors because of the immense disparity in their strength. They didn’t even have the chance to kill themselves before they were caught by the demons. There was a thin iron chain connected to each of their collars. Under the pulling of the Crypt Keepers, they were forced to keep on walking until they reached this palace.
Since their eyes were covered with black blindfolds, they had no idea where they were being brought. Their bodies were all trembling from the breeze. The way demons used to kill was way more brutal than the humans. Had they known this would have happened, they would not have taken this mission. These beauties had already been washed with water by the demons and were wet all over. No matter what hairstyle they had before, it was now all a mess hanging off their shoulders.
Under the control of the Pupper Collectors’ puppet wires, these beautiful ladies were forced to walk in a flirtatious way, twisting their fair and delicate bodies, like girls in a nightclub lining up for the customers to choose from. Their bodies were all trembling as they walked towards Bella.
“Demon… Mistress, these are the a.s.sa.s.sins sent to spy on the barracks. They have all been defeated and the male a.s.sa.s.sins have been transferred to General Natasharam (commander-in-chief of the Southern Alliance human army, Bella’s direct human subordinate) to be dealt with. Please instruct us on what to do with these girls, mistress.”
“These girls… look pretty good. Hm, have they spat out who’s backing them yet?”
“Not yet. General Natasharam’s torture tools in the dungeon are too poor so we have specially brought them to you, mistress.”
“Bring them to Noesha. That girl has been asking for some girls recently, so you’re here just in time.”
The captured female a.s.sa.s.sins were relieved to hear that they were being pa.s.sed to a girl for interrogation. Landing in the hands of a woman, and a child at that, was much better than being sent to a man. But they soon regretted this thought as Noesha’s eroticism was no inferior to Bella’s. She had quite the skill training beautiful girls, especially bullying them, so they would have h.e.l.l to go through later.
After the a.s.sa.s.sins were dragged away by the demons, Bella no longer continued to bully Helena. She had found that two little “lambs” had invited themselves here. It was the two quasi-Sword G.o.d sisters, Calman and Cahlia, appearing in this lily-scented room of eroticism. These two simple-minded loli girls didn’t really understand what Bella and these big sisters were doing.
They were just curious as to why the big sisters weren’t wearing any clothes. Moreover, other than Bella, all of them were wearing red leather collars around their necks that they had no idea of their purpose. Anyway, they looked good. After Bella had knocked out these two, they woke up after sleeping in Princess Kriss’ room after a short time.
After finding out where Bella had gone from Kriss’ mouth, the two ran off to the “wolf’s den” unsuspectingly and ran boldly to Bella’s room to find the demoness. Fortunately, Bella was already surrounded by other beauties.
“Little girls, what are you coming out here in the middle of the night for? There’s still some s.p.a.ce here, but this is a place for adult activities. You two probably shouldn’t come since you’re minors.”
“Naughty Big Sister Bella, how can you run away when you bully people like this?! Princess Kriss said it was dangerous and wouldn’t let us come to look for you. There are so many big sisters here, so how is it dangerous?”
