Chapter 78: An Interesting Game
Western Demon Race Border, inside the tent.
A black-haired girl with a serious expression received a letter from a messenger.
…
“What? A letter for me?”
“Yes, it’s from the Royal Capital.”
“…”
“Mm, I understand. You may withdraw.”
After dismissing the messenger, Elusius “majestically” looked forward.
“I’ll conduct the torture of you Blood Race slaves later! I’m reading a letter now. You will hold on and not move, understand?”
“Y-Yes!”
The several Blood Race members in the room nodded fearfully, behaving as obediently as kindergarten children.
In fact, regardless of gender, they did appear obedient.
This was because they were all dressed in small dance costumes typically worn by little lolis, standing tiptoe and striking ballet poses… This sort of placement play was Elusius’ role in punishing them.
Some heinous Demon Race members had already been killed, but for those whose sins were not as severe, Elusius imposed this form of punishment.
Maintaining one pose for a long time was tiring, but none of them dared to complain or ask for rest.
This was because their current punishment only required them to please Elusius, but what if complaining made Elusius angry?
Then it wouldn’t be as simple as pleasing Elusius; they would be sent to low-ranking Demon Race members for a “comfort performance.”
The content of the performance would be dancing very cute dances or even singing children’s songs like “Balala the Fairies.”
This was more unbearable for these high-ranking Demon Race members than being killed.
Therefore, everyone was anxiously waiting, hoping that Elusius’ letter-reading time wouldn’t be long.
But no one expected…
In just 10 minutes, Elusius finished reading the letter, and after reading it, the black-haired girl’s lips actually curved slightly upward.
“Candelle.”
“Your servant is here.”
Upon hearing Elusius’ command, Candelle immediately obeyed and knelt down.
“Take these criminals to the Demon Race Grand Stage for a cultural performance.”
“!”
“Remember to prepare cameras before you go and keep filming, okay?”
…
“Lady Elusius, no!!!!!!!!!!”
“Lady Elusius, I’ll do anything for you, even be your beast of burden, just don’t send me there!!!!!!!!!!”
Normally, these Blood Race high-ranking officials had considerable power and dignity.
But in front of Elusius, they were like little puppies, crying uncontrollably, having lost all their dignity.
…
And Elusius?
Although she usually showed a little leniency when she saw Demon Race members crying (especially when Blood Race girls cried).
Today, however, was clearly an exception.
“Hmph, I said go, so you will go! If you talk back again, I’ll have you perform in front of the Human Race square!”
The black-haired girl said resolutely, and dark black flames ignited in her palm due to her anger.
(Damn it, Lonis that guy, actually did this kind of thing…)
Elusius frowned in annoyance.
Because there were so many things to do, she had left the Royal Capital as soon as the investiture ceremony ended… During this time, Elusius had not given Lonis any orders.
Since Lonis had done a good job this time, Elusius wanted her to enjoy her time as a Hero and have some fun.
But the black-clothed girl never imagined…
Lonis had actually hooked up with Princess Cécile!!!!!!!!!
Indeed, are all men the same even after all?
They pretend to be well-behaved little pets on the surface, but in reality? As soon as there’s any honor or promotion, they get carried away with themselves.
“Damn it, damn it… damn it!”
Elusius knew that Princess Cécile was the ideal type of that idiot maid.
This means that if nothing unexpected happened, Lonis would prefer Princess Cécile.
Therefore, Elusius naturally did not doubt the truth of the letter; even if Lonis and Princess Cécile hadn’t slept together, they must have done something ambiguous.
“Hmph, hmph hmph… That’s perfect, I captured a tentacle monster from the Demon Race? Lonis, you just enjoy it.”
————–
…
“Haa… Princess Cécile’s afternoon tea is so delicious. I have nothing to do this afternoon, I can go for a walk~”
Lonis stretched and walked out of the Royal Palace.
In fact, she had already forgotten the letter she had written a few days ago… After all, she had received so many letters, who would specifically care about this one?
So the silver-haired girl was completely unguarded and was just strolling leisurely~~
“Hmm, where should I go? I’ll go to the Royal Palace garden and have a look. Elusius will be back tonight, and I can pick some fruit to surprise her. (*^▽^*) ”
Due to the power of the Tree of Origin Collapse, the forest coverage of the Royal Capital increased from 20% to an astonishing 70%.
Many urban ruins were not rebuilt but were repurposed into city parks based on local conditions…
The park Lonis was heading to was one of the closest to the Royal Palace.
Many quasi-bamboo plants emitting faint blue fluorescence grew here, and while walking among them, one could see fireflies of varying brightness dancing in the woods, which was simply wonderful.
“Hmm, so beautiful~~ If only El…”
However, before Lonis could finish speaking.
Her mouth was covered with a rag.
Even when she tried to shout, no sound could be made, and a pungent odor filled Lonis’ mouth… And our poor Lonis, after struggling for just a moment, completely fainted.
Accompanied by crackling burning sounds, Lonis slowly woke up.
(Where is this? Wait, I’m…)
Lonis’ eyes widened in shock. She wanted to open her mouth to call out, but a gag firmly stuffed her mouth shut.
Damp saliva continuously flowed from the corners of her mouth, dripping onto her chin.
Judging from her slack jaw, her mouth seemed to have been gagged for a long time.
Thick, huge shackles wrapped around her wrists and ankles, firmly fixing her limbs to the wall… Her arms and legs were spread wide apart, and the girl could only lie in a spread-eagle position, accepting the fact that she was bound.
(I’ve been kidnapped? How, how is this possible!)
In her panic, the girl tried to struggle free from the restraints, but the iron chains were tightly bound. No matter how hard she tried, only the sound of clanging could be heard.
(Where is this? Someone, please come and save me!!!!)
Lonis realized she was in a small stone room, and in the four corners of the room, old braziers were slowly burning.
On a wooden cabinet, various cylindrical toys were placed, their varied sizes enough to make any girl’s heart pound with fear.
And just as Lonis was surprised…
A woman suddenly pushed open the door and entered.
She was wearing a jet-black leather outfit, and her appearance was hidden behind an intricately carved mask… At first glance, the woman resembled a perverted serial killer, exuding an ominous aura.
“Oh ho, I didn’t expect the renowned Princess Hero to be so frail. Truly a misnomer.”
“Wuwu! (Who, who are you?)”
“Who am I… Haha, I am the Demon Race’s destroyer, Knight Amy. Thanks to you, our Demon Race seems to have been defeated?”
“!”
“But it’s okay. As long as we can extort the corresponding information from your mouth… we’ll have a chance for revenge… Haha, hahaha!”
The woman laughed wildly and gradually walked towards Lonis.
