Book 9: Chapter 481: Political Alliance with the Ignaz Family and Secret Interrogation in the Warehouse

At the Gabriel Empire’s capital, Gabriels City (Sword Capital), southern banks of the Claudine River, within the Ignaz family’s territory, Grand Duke Ignatius’s residence. Bella held the hand of Miss Irina and opened the door familiarly as if she were returning to her own home. This confused Miss Irina. Isn’t this her home? How come Bella was more familiar with it than the owner?

Duke Ignatius is one of the few great nobles who still remain in Gabriels City. Most of them have already chosen their sides and ran to the barracks of the various powers outside of the city to stay for now. The Ignaz Family’s status in the Gabriel Empire is the lowest. The current Ignaz patriarch had bad luck and his wife gave birth to two children who were daughters. Then, she developed health issues that prevented her from having more.

According to the Gabriel Empire’s law on the inheritance of noble titles, only sons born to the mistress of the house can inherit the title of duke. If there are only daughters, then the title can only be passed down to the son-in-law. The son-in-law can’t be a commoner. He has to be from a noble family as well. With only two daughters, Ivy and Irina, the Ignaz family can’t even hold their heads up in front of the other two families.

Grand Duke Ignatius engaged in a political marriage with the Johnston family that is also included in the three great noble families, betrothing Ivy with their young master, Gavin. There was no other choice. The youngest master of the Renald family, Leonard, has long since set up a political marriage contract with the royal family so the Ignaz family is not in their sight at all. They can only seek out the Johnston family for a political marriage.

Bella saw Grand Duke Ignatius at the grand duke’s residence. The middle-aged man was wearing a golden duke’s formal suit with the symbol of the duke embroidered on it, and there was the Ignaz family’s armband on his sleeve. Grand Duke Ignatius gave one the impression of the nice uncle next door and his strength was only at the level of a senior swordsman. He was no match for Bella.

“Grand Duke Ignatius, are you not leaving the city? It’s very unsafe here. As someone from the three great families, I’m sure someone’s invited you to join their side, right?”

“You speak too highly of me, Grand Duke Bellina. Come and take a seat. The banquet is already set up. It’s just a few home-cooked dishes so I hope you don’t mind it!”

Bella walked into the living room of Grand Duke Ignatius’s residence and observed the surroundings on the way. This mansion is filled with the air of dilapidation. Ever since it was decided that Grand Duke Ignatius would not have an heir, many nobles that were originally close with the Ignaz family turned away from him to others instead. The Ignaz family has since declined. Even the number of servants have been cut in half. Their shiny front in front of outsiders was all just a facade.

The few dishes that Grand Duke Ignatius offered are really just normal general dishes. There were less meat and more vegetarian dishes. For Bella who is used to eating luxurious dishes, it took some getting used to. Fortunately, the dishes were quite delicious. It really wasn’t too difficult for Bella to try some vegetarian dishes every once in a while. Other than that, there wasn’t even any alcohol. Bella felt a little bad for him. It was the first time Bella had met a grand duke in such a sorry state.

“Grand Duke Bella, these dishes are cooked by my daughter Irina herself. Her skills are not good, so I hope you won’t mind it.”

“Dad, stop it. Isn’t the food always cooked by my sister and I? If you didn’t mention anything about marriage, then Ivy would have come home long ago.”

“Don’t make a fuss, Irina. I did it for your own good. The Johnston family home is much nicer than here, they at least have a cook.”

Bella watched the father and daughter bickering with each other at the table and felt an inexplicable sense of warmth. Bella was just about able to get the gist of the Ignaz family situation from their conversation. The head of the Ignaz family has been called a “clear stream” in the chaotic political world of the Fabriel Empire. He was known for his honesty.

As a direct result, the Ignaz family has always been in a state of poverty. Since the previous heads of the Ignaz family lacked heirs as well, they can still get by for now, but it is clear that Grand Duke Ignatius’s generation isn’t holding on very well. In the end, he had to try to betroth his daughter to the Johnston family.

“Miss Irina, I didn’t think you could cook. It’s really delicious, much better than the food at hotels. That girl Ivy is too tight-lipped. She never told me about you.”

“Hmph, if it weren’t for the family’s orders, then I wouldn’t even pay attention to you, you warmonger!”

Irina got up and headed back to her room after saying that, leaving behind the awkward-faced Grand Duke Ignaz and the puzzled Bella. Under Grand Duke Ignatious’s explanation, Bella could just about guess the reason. It turns out that in order to balance out Bella’s reputation, Emperor Alfred the THird had deliberately arranged for people to spread various rumors to slander her reputation in the capital, Gabriels City, calling her a war monger who slaughtered many beastmen prisoners of war who have given up on resisting during their counterattack of the beastman war.

Even though there is a great deal of truth in Bella being a warmonger, it was a stain to Bella’s image. Irina and Doris before her were clearly misled by the rumors and misunderstood her. These rumors can only deceive the masses who do not know the truth. It has no deceptive power to the true nobles of the empire.

Those who do know the truth are even more speechless with Emperor Alfred the Third. There’s a limit to the nonsense you put out there! Anyone who has been on the battlefield knows that Beastmen warriors only die in battle. There is no such thing as being captured as prisoners. This rumor was obviously sent out without even any research, it deserves a bad rating. Demon God Angel and the others have also arrived at this moment. They hung out outside for a while before they came in. Seems like their task was completed.

“Grand Duke Bellina, please don’t mind it. The emperor’s lies can only fool the commoners. The nobles and ministers all know how strong you truly are. I will talk to Irina later and tell her to watch herself!”

“No need, Grand Duke Ignatius. You can just stay on the neutral end in the future, I’ll find a way to solve this predicament. I hope you won’t interfere with Ivy and Irina’s freedom of choice in the future.”

After a moment of silence, Grand Duke Ignatius nodded and agreed to Bella’s suggestion. The current situation was very uncertain, but he can only bet on it. Grand Duke Ignatius bet that Bella was going to be the final victor of this imperial chaos, and also chose to believe Ivy’s words. Before Bella arrived at the capital, “Darkness Swordsman” Ivy had sent a secret letter to Grand Duke Ignatius in advance, telling him to ally with Bella and to leave the other forces alone, because Bella will undoubtedly come out on top in the end.

Duke Ignatius has no idea where Ivy’s confidence came from, but Ivy is one of the few who had seen the full strength of the Darkness Sacred Region and know the many aces up Bella’s sleeves. She did not explicitly say the reason why she believed in her, the Darkness Sacred Region is a highly confidential topic and requires Bella’s consent before she can talk about it.

“By the way, Grand Duke Ignatius, do you have a basement, warehouse, or some kind of sealed room in your home? Could I borrow it for a moment?”

“Grand Duke Bellina, I do not have the money to build a basement, but I do have a sealed warehouse in the backyard. Feel free to use it as you please!”

Bella quickly left to head to that warehouse. Before that, she left a large bag of gold bars on the table as a gift to Grand Duke Ignatius so that he can “improve his life”. Because of her relationship with Ivy, Grand Duke Ignatius could be considered Bella’s “father-in-law” in some sense. Bella left so quickly that Grand Duke Ignatius did not even have the time to thank her. Faced with this “forced gift” he had no other choice but to accept it.

“These gold bars are of a high purity, it will be worth at least…It shouldn’t be that bad for Ivy to be with her, right? If the emperor is changed, then there’s no saying if the regulations might change as well.”

Grand Duke Ignatius was soon to be “bribed”. He was already calculating how he was going to “send off” Irina as well and let her two daughters stay with Bella, then it will solidify their political alliance. Irina who was still hiding in her own room still has no idea that her father, Grand Duke Ignatius, was preparing to “sell his daughter” again.

Demon God Angel, Evil God Mia, and Poison Origin Betty have stopped outside of Grand Duke Ignatius’s home, even dismissing the guards temporarily and acting as the temporary gatekeepers. Compared with the previous Prince Brad’s residence, this was simply a poor man’s house. You couldn’t see any noble air from it at all.

A burning fire pit was placed at the center of Grand Duke Ignatius’s warehouse and both the doors and windows were tightly sealed. A naked maiden was tied into a “turtle shell bondage” position with red rope, binding her two hands behind her back while her legs were spread apart and chained to the floor on both sides.

A red rope tied to the beautiful maiden’s neck was connected to the ceiling. Due to the lifting effect, she was forced to stand on her tiptoes and had no way of standing firmly on the floor. She had a red cloth stuffed into her mouth and was looking around with frightened eyes at the two demon ladies who brought her here.

This beauty is none other than Miss Doris. The clothes on her body have already been removed by that erotic girl Noesha, then she was put into this state and placed here to wait for Bella to come and “interrogate” her. Doris’s whole body was drenched and she looked both sweaty and sexy. After stripping her, Noesha rinsed her with a special water that washed away all the tracking magical marks that Doris might have had on her body.

“How’s that, Noesha? Is this okay?”

“Big Sister Mistress Bella, don’t worry, all traces of marks on this big sister’s body have been cleaned away. Nobody will be able to track her here so you can do anything you want to her.”

Noesha is still wearing her deep red gothic maid uniform and had a pure smile on her face. If she could put the whip down though, that would be more convincing. Bella changed into a tight leather bodysuit with black heels, a standard “dominatrix” get-up, and walked over, reaching out to remove the red cloth from Doris’s mouth.

“Grand Duke Bella, hurry and…Mph!”

“Young Mistress Doris, I don’t want to hear you begging. Tell me the identity of the two other young mistresses. You only have one chance.”

Bella gently covered Doris’s mouth so that all her scolding and pleading her shoved back down into her mouth. Doris looked at all the strange tools displayed in the warehouse and was shaking with fear. Her fair and delicate body gave off a strange sense of beauty as it was illuminated by the brazier.

The props were all pulled out by the erotic loli, Time Space Demon Noesha, and you could tell at a glance what the effects of them are. When she saw Doris shivering and afraid, Noesha felt a strange sense of satisfaction. She has yet to see a girl who is not afraid after seeing her props. This is the very effect she wants to achieve.

“Grand Duke Bellina, I can’t say it. Please, the power of their family is…”

“Aren’t you afraid of this equipment, Doris? Speak! Tell me everything.”

Bella thought that Doris would give in, but she didn’t expect that even though Doris was afraid, she shut her eyes. It seems she wasn’t going to let anything slip if not over her dead body. Bella only intended to scare her. She wasn’t going to use those props since they were too hardcore. Even the owner of those toys, Time Space Demon Noesha, had never used those toys before. It was mostly used to scare people.

However, Bella has other evil ways of interrogating people. She exchanged glances with Noesha, and the latter soon knew what Bella was intending and handed over a bottle of a strange liquid. Bella popped open the lid and applied the liquid evenly on Doris’s fair white skin. Very soon, a strange fragrance began to waft around the warehouse. Doris kept her eyes closed this whole time, but she still opened it from the alluring smell.

“Grand Duke Bellina, you…What are you doing? Stop it, it feels strange! This…Honey! You…What are you trying to do? I won’t tell you anything!”

“Miss Doris, this is honey, and I’m going to rub it all over your body! By the way, there are tons of mice and ants in this abandoned warehouse. Once we’re done with you, we’ll leave. And when that time comes…”

“Mice and ants…No, please stop! Don’t do this, I’m afraid of mice…”

After finding out Bella’s evil plan, Doris was completely terrified. If Bella really finishes applying the honey on her and leaves, and it attracts the mice and ants or whatever, they will definitely crawl all over her. Just the thought of it alone was enough to terrify her. At this moment, Doris’s psychological defense finally wavered.

Even though Doris had the strength of a Magic Swordsman, it was all sealed up by Noesha’s time space magic, so she was no different than an ordinary girl now. Don’t even mention mice, she won’t even be able to kill a mosquito. When she saw the change in her expression, Bella knew that she was afraid now, so she quickly “struck while the iron is hot” and began her interrogation.

“You have two options, Doris. Join my side, or wait for the rats to come and hear your speech. Pick one!”

“Grand Duke Bellina, can you please let me consider for a moment? I really…”

“Noesha, pack up and let’s get ready to go. It seems like this young lady will need some time to herself.”

“No, don’t go! I’ll tell you, so please don’t leave me here! I’ll tell you everything!”

When Doris saw that Bella was about to go, she was so frightened that she struggled violently and began begging Bella in an almost sobbing tone. Only then did Bella turn around and kiss her face, licking the tears off her face. Bella didn’t like to bully girls when they are crying, it would make her feel strangely guilty. After licking off her tears, Bella began sliding her tongue down her neck, then licked the red cherries on her chest.

Bella has long had evil thoughts about Doris’s fair white body. Especially after seeing the little quivering jade bunnies on her chest, the image of them bouncing almost pushed her past the edge of her dark desires. Doris was disoriented by her licking. Bella’s sucking technique almost sent her soul flying.

“Grand Duke Bellina, I’ll tell you everything, so please let me go. I…”

“Doris, just call me Bella. Also, tell me after I’m done licking the honey off your body. What’s wrong, you don’t like it? It’s either me or the ants. Pick one!”

Doris’s face went completely red. This was such an evil question, she would not be able to evade this erotic punishment no matter what. At the very least, being licked by her would still mean being licked by a human. Doris really couldn’t stand mice or ants. As the very last resort, Doris could only remain silent and acquiesce to choosing Bella.

Bella performed her superior “technique”, and after she finished licking up all the honey on Doris’s body, just like Cathy and Sarah from before, this noble young mistress from the prince’s family also fell into Bella’s “lily demonic clutches”. Bella even dares to “push down” a princess, so in her view, the young mistress from a prince’s family is still just a little lamb to be bullied by her.

“Doris, you’re so wet here already. Come, tell me all you know and I’ll bring you even greater pleasure.”

“Bella, I’ll tell you everything, so could you please let go of me?”

“No can do. Tell me everything and I’ll see how well you do. If you’re good, then I’ll let you go!”

Doris lay limp in Bella’s arms, face flushed. Her noble elegance before was all gone. Her soft breasts were also kneaded into a variety of strange shapes by Bella. Bella has already carried her to a small bed in the granary warehouse. It seemed like she was going to “push her down” after she spilled the beans.

Doris’s legs were pulled apart to two sides so that the soft mysterious garden between her legs could be seen by Bella. Even through the black leather, she could feel the heat from Bella’s body, with it an intrusive and unusually domineering aura. This Grand Duke was destined to be a danger, and Doris knew it was already too late. She was completely under her control.

“I’ll tell you! It was the Hilikas family who made me do it. This Hilikas family is the empire’s…”

Space Time Demon Noesha was watching at the side with a faint smile at her lips. She was secretly observing the door of the warehouse. While Bella and Doris were getting hot with each other, Noesha had deliberately opened a small slit on the door so that a certain curious young mistress can get a free show to this lily feast.

Outside the warehouse, Miss Irina was blushing as red as Doris. She had just come to see what sort of bad things Bella was going to do at her home’s warehouse, but she didn’t expect to see such a scene.
