Book 1: Chapter 9: The Determination of the Rose Knight
âWhy did you leave alone last night brother? We should have waited for Hayley and her Church knights to arrive the next morning!â
âI have my reasons, you donât need to know. Donât you want to save your knights? Just keep up with me.â
Eleanor asked Sidney many questions on their way, but he would always evade the question or shy away from anything important. He must have been scared senseless, Eleanor decided that she would find ask him again after they found her knights.
The two of them finally the end of the path, not far from a large door; the door was open and Eleanor could see many human figures inside.
âThisâŠwhat is thisâŠâ
Eleanorâs face blushed as she looked inside the room. Every single member of her personal knight squadron was inside, fully human and not zombified. The thing that she noticed was that they were all bare of any clothing and had been tied up perversely with red rope. Each of the beautiful knights had their mouths gagged with a red ball, a black collar around their necks. They were tied in the exact same position as Roland and Annie were previously, except that these knights had all been blindfolded. The familiar technique was evidently the work of the same âgentlemanâ that Bella had encountered just yesterday.
Apart from the female knights in the room, there were no monsters. The walls were covered with various torture instruments, while the ground was scattered with other instruments that Eleanor couldnât identify. But her female instincts told her that these were definitely not anything pleasant.
As there were no wounds on the knights, Eleanor assumed that the one who brought them here had not yet been given time to humiliate them. It seemed that she arrived before anything too bad had happened, Eleanor quickened her pace towards her knights.
Right as she entered the room, a dark green mist sprayed out from an opening in the wall. Eleanor was caught unaware and received the full brunt of the mist. The mist was the same that Adris had used on Roland and Annie previously, Eleanorâs armour was visibly corroding away.
âYou are not my brother! Who are you!? Damn itâŠâ
âDidnât expect you to be still able to stand, little girl, youâre much stronger than your knights, it only took a few seconds last night to subdue all of them with my smoke. Of course, Iâm not your stupid brother, Iâm just using his body. Remember this, Iâm your owner. Come out my servants!â
When Eleanor turned around, she saw the obscene smile on Sidneyâs face, as well as a few dozen zombies that had appeared out of nowhere; the zombies were holding the same red rope and other stuff that had been put on Eleanorâs subordinates.
âWhat are you doing to them? Let them go you bastard!â
âYouâll know soon enough, stop being stubborn. Servants, get her.â Although Sidney was somewhat worried about the fact that Eleanor was still able to stand, he still let his subordinates attack. For the purpose of catching todayâs bigger prey, he had left all the female knights untouched and he was finding it harder to contain himself with Eleanor right in front of him.
âGet away from me!â
Eleanor suddenly swung her sword and several waves of ăJian Qiă and cut down all the zombies charged towards her. She was, after all, a holy knight in everything but name; even though she wasnât able to react in time when she was hit by the toxic mist, but she was able to respond rapidly, activating her protective skill before the mist finished corroding her armour.
âDidnât expect you to put up such a fight little girl, this makes catching you all the more interesting for me.â
âWhen did you get over there, youâŠwhat are you doing? Get your dirty hands off of her you bastard!â
After Eleanor defeated the zombies, she realized that Sidney must have taken that moment to enter the room. Currently, he was standing beside the knight closest to the entrance, holding her chin in his hand, looking at her voraciously. The knight had her hands tied behind her and around a wooden post, completely unable to do anything about Sidneyâs provocative actions.
âHeheh, I expected you to not give in so easily. Right now, you may leave, but you donât need me to explain whatâll happen to them right? You know what you need to do so that they donât suffer right?â
âLet them go, Iâll replace them.â
âVery smart, but I need a show of your honesty; throw me your weapon!â
âHere, let them go!â
Eleanor helplessly threw her sword at the ground in front of Sidney, who then picked it up and threw it into a strange pool. The sword corroded away at a visible rate.
âIâll let them go only if youâre willing to become my plaything. Come, take off everything, then put your hands behind your back and turn them towards me! If you donât follow my instructions, you know the consequences.â
The bound knights did not have their ears blocked and they were able to hear the voice of their captain. Each and every one of them was shaking their head furiously, trying to signal their captain to leave them.
âYou better keep your word. Come!â
Eleanor could only oblige, her armour was already in a state where it was barely covered anything and was easy to take off, her clothes were then quickly disposed of by the mist. In a few seconds, Eleanor was left with not a single scrap of fabric.
âAttack, my minions! All you dumb little girls are the same, always caring more about friends than themselves. All of you can be my playthings, but I think that Iâll play with you first!â
Sidney laughed, his once decently handsome face was distorted and one could no longer see any resemblance to a human in it. From behind him came another wave of zombies that pounced towards Eleanorâs position
âGoodbye, my sisters! I will be there to greet you all in heaven.â Eleanor whispered gently, she had known that this would happen from the start, but she did this to lure Sidney closer. A few years ago she had learned one of the Churchâs forbidden skills; ăSelf-Destructionă, it was a skill that assassins of old would use when all else failed; the skill had a high requirement for the cultivation level of the user as well.
When she gets brought to Sidney in bondage, she would be able to drag him down with her. What made this skill so powerful was that as soon as one started it, nothing could stop it, not even the death of the user. This skill was also known by the sinister name of âcorpse bombâ.
Eleanor closed her eyes, in her final moments of life, her memories flashed before him; finally stopping on her time with Bellaâs group. Those people were quite something if it was possible Eleanor would have liked to spend more time with them.
Right as she thought about it, Eleanor felt someone grab her from behind. She was about to initiate ăSelf-Destructionă but the person who had grabbed her used a hand and tickled her, stopping her from activating successfully.
Damn! This wasâŠEleanor was about to scream but a pair of hands covered her mouth and Eleanor discovered that the porcelain hand belonged to a girl, not a zombie. As she calmed down she also realized she could also feel the softness of the person who embraced her from behind, evidently, they werenât the hands of a zombie.
âDonât do such stupid things, boss! You still havenât paid our wage yet! If you leave us now, we would have worked this hard for nothing. At least pay our wages!â
After hearing Bellaâs familiar voice, Eleanor was moved to tears. She held back her tears and looked back; she discovered Bella half nude behind her, only clad in her black underwear of a sort that she had never seen before, but looked really stylish and pretty. Not far from Bella was a loli with pink twintails in a strange black dress; her beautiful red irises looked playfully at Eleanor and Bella.
âBella, what happened? Whereâs your armour, who is this little sister? She doesnât seem to be Mia or Angel?â
âEhh, donât talk about it boss, I got robbed by a little bandit on the way here. Now I donât have a single penny, I finally subdued that bandit but turns out sheâs also penniless. So, boss, youâre going to have to pay extra this time!â
âYou got robbed? Thatâs⊠I donât have any money either right now, can IâŠâ
âDonât you still have yourself? You can pay with your⊠oh, and donât try something so dangerous again, if that old gentleman noticed that you were trying to self-destruct, you would be in a lot more trouble.â
Bella almost exposed her true intentions, luckily she changed topics fast enough, or she might have left a bad impression on Eleanor. Beside her, Noesha looked at her with a face of worship, this was the teacher that she had been looking for! It was the first time that seen someone able to be perverted to such an elegant sister.
Eleanor was busy talking with Bella, she didnât notice that Bellaâs hands had been taking constant advantage of her unclothed body. Although she felt a little strange at Bellaâs hands moving around and caressing her body, as they were both females; Eleanor didnât say anything.
âBut, What else can IâŠwait, what happened to that bastard, Sidney!? My sisters are still in his hands.â
âNo Problem, he has your substitute in his hands right now, heâs probably really excited!â
Only now did Eleanor realize that the three of them were in a strange space, not far from them Sidney and his zombies had bound someone that looked exactly like her and were currently smugly feeling her up. Between the three girls and Sidney was what seemed to be a transparent crystal wall, Sidneyâs side couldnât see in while Eleanorâs side could clearly see everything that happened on the other.
âSister, it was one of my few blow-up⊠youâre going to have to find me something better~!â
âIf you follow me, do you still need to be afraid of not having any beautiful sisters to play with you? Weâll have lots later, there are two when we get back! Oh yeah, did you find Dolores yet, bring her in.â
Eleanor didnât understand the gentlemanly conversation between Bella and Noesha, and would not until much later, but at that time she had already boarded the wrong ship for too long.
She could only see Noesha nod her head furiously, then run to the side and gestured with her hands in front of her chest; where a clear ball of energy appeared, ripples of energy moved through the ball as Noesha started a chant. A few seconds later, a familiar figure came out of nowhere, appearing in front of Eleanor. When she saw the signature purple hair, she immediately realized that it was Dolores.
âErâŠBella sister, little Eleanor, whatâs your situation? Also, this loliâŠ?â Doloresâ dark purple armour didnât have any signs of damage, currently she was looking at Bella and Eleanor embracing each other with eyes that seemed to see through everything.
âNothing, youâve misunderstood⊠Bella, let go, youâre holding me too tightly.â
âWhy are you struggling Eleanor? We donât have to be afraid of anything, we share a pure friendship, your struggles make it seem like something different!â
Bella denied Eleanorâs struggles, if she let her off now, it would be hard to do the same to her again in the future. Might as well familiarise her with now; she had already decided that Eleanor would definitely work for her from the moment that Bella embraced her.
Bella gave a simple explanation as to Noeshaâs identity, saying that she picked the loli up on the way. Of course, Eleanor and Dolores didnât believe this explanation but had to accept it as Noesha didnât deny it. Noeshaâs power would let her stand at the top echelons of the Coristel continent, you canât just pick up a loli like this. She also caught Dolores up on what happened after.
âSo what youâre saying is that old bastard wants to bully little Eleanor? Iâll flatten him, the two of you can wait here.â
âSister Dolores, I want to settle this myself, even though you guys say that his body was taken over by something evil; but Sidney is a member of my family, I stillâŠâ
âLittle Eleanor, you and Bella canât leave like this. If you do itâs just delivering free enjoyment?! I wonât allow you two to give this kind of joy to men!â
After getting reminded by Dolores, Eleanor realized the condition that she and Bella were in. Bella at least still had some fabric, but Eleanor had absolutely nothing, it would be quite shameful to battle like this. But her equipment and clothes had already been destroyed by Sidney, and apparently, Bella was also in a similar state.
Bella could tell from the disappointment in Eleanorâs eyes that she had wanted to settle things herself. From Bellaâs previous observations, along with the way that Sidney tied the girls; Bella could confirm that this guy was that old gentleman Adris. She had been unable to completely kill Adris during their previous fights, probably because his soul was hiding inside this resting ground. Last time his body was taken by Warden Maltz to the underground prison, but his evil spirit was probably still wandering the crypt.
The intel that the old pervert had given on Eleanorâs knights were probably on purpose, in order to lure Bellaâs group in order to have revenge on the shame that they had dealt him. unfortunately, or perhaps, fortunately; Eleanor had arrived before Bella and fell into the trap instead.
âEleanor, are you still going to do something so dumb? If your brother was a person of virtue, he wouldnât have been able to be controlled by this monster. This monster only expanded upon the darkness in himself; heâs lost.â
âIf itâs like this, I want to end his sins myself. Bella, Dolores, can you help me! Iâll owe you two after this, I will do anything I can to repay you.â
âThatâs not too big of a problem, Iâm just afraid you might not like it. Little Dolores⊠take off your armour and clothes, and give them to Eleanor; you two have about the same body.â
âHuh? Alright!â Dolores took off her armour without any hesitation. As a princess of the demon people, she was much more open to stuff like this than normal human girls; anyways, there were only girls around her, she didnât lose anything.
Seeing how open Dolores was, Eleanor didnât know where to look for a bit; Doloresâ body was only a little bit less explosive than her own, wait thatâs not the important point!
âLittle Eleanor. That thing⊠I donât think mine will fit you, the armour is fine as weâre about the same build but this⊠I think you should use Bellaâs.â Dolores measured Eleanor with her eyes and looked especially long at her chest.
âThisâŠdonât hold me so tight please, Bella; DoloresâŠwhy did you get so close?â
âYou havenât worn our armour before, little Eleanor, weâll help you the first time, in the future⊠weâre companions, what do you have to be scared off?â
Eleanor was unable to free herself from the Bella-Dolores alliance and had to watch them teach her a hands-on lesson on how to put on the dark-gold armour. After finishing putting on her armour, Eleanorâs blushed face remained red for quite a while. The three-person clothes changing play was too embarrassing; currently, she was wearing Doloreâs armour and Bellaâs underwear. It wasnât time to care for this, however; the problem of Sidney still needed to be solved first.
âThatâs strange, Eleanor is a living person right? Why is there no warmth?â After feeling up the bound substitute for Eleanor, he felt as if something was off. After all, blow-up dolls were nothing like the real thing. As he was still thinking, a few blades of sword qi passed by, the zombies around him were cut up and his left hand was cut off before he could react.
