Book 9: Chapter 527: Bellas Unusual Idea In The Short Break During The War
In the allied army’s base camp, Gabrideck City, the lower reaches of the Claudine River on the edge of the Marz Plain, near Gabriels City, the capital of the Gabriel Empire, the three princes of the empire were currently in a meeting. They were deciding on future military operations.
The three princes were in dispute once more. Prince Frauer pushed for north and south peace talks and allocate half of the empire to Bella, with the Claudine River as the dividing line between the north and the south. If worse came to worst, they would recognize Princess Kriss as the protector of the throne instead of Prince Daniel as the legitimate heir.
Prince Brad wanted to retreat to the west, gather the army in his territory, and set up an independent region. After all, Princess Kriss was their junior. Without a valid reason, she couldn’t send troops to attack her uncles. At the time, they would wait for the Imperial Union mediation. Bella and Kriss must know there was no precedent in the human continent for an Empress to ascend to the throne.
The only one who advocated for battling to the end was Prince Angus. He called for sending troops to completely drive Bella and Kriss out of the imperial city, defeat the Southern Alliance, and support Prince Daniel as the successor to the throne. He could be considered as the only pro-war faction present. The other two princes were undoubtedly part of the peace faction. The only difference between the two princes was the way they proposed the peace talks.
“You’re conniving with the Southern Alliance. Only by defeating them, banishing Duchess Bellina, and imprisoning Princess Kriss can we save the empire. The empire has reached its most dangerous period. Can’t you two forget about your little calculations?”
“Brother Angus, that’s not fair of you. What do you mean by conniving with the Southern Alliance? Kriss is an imperial princess. There’s no problem with her lineage. She won’t make things difficult for her uncles.”
“That’s right. Brother Angus, are you addicted to fighting? Didn’t we agree on a war to end all wars and promote peace talks? If you want to fight, don’t drag us down with you. A few of our daughters are guests in the Southern Alliance’s military camp. Duchess Bellina didn’t use them as hostages to threaten us. Isn’t this a show of sincerity?”
Prince Angus was a military general who was on the battlefield all year round. His ability in political negotiations was obviously not as good as Prince Brad and Prince Frauer, who often mixed in political circles. Before he could continue arguing, he was jointly suppressed by the two. From the very start, uniting the two parties was impossible. Both on Earth and in this Other World, the contradictions between the pro-war faction and peace faction weren’t easy to overcome.
Prince Angus was so angered by these two cunning politicians that he almost resorted to violence. Their guards were all present. If they did break out in a fight, the Northern Alliance would be racked by internal strife before the Southern Alliance could even make their move. Under the persuasion of his subordinates, Prince Angus temporarily put away his urge to kill these people. He reluctantly remained seated to participate in the meeting.
Despite the fact that the Northern Alliance was about to be defeated, these two profiteering men were still concerned about their own interests. Prince Angus was now thoroughly disappointed with these useless teammates. Had he known earlier, he wouldn’t have cooperated with people who would hold him back. These two teammates of his were lazy in battle but more anxious than anyone else when it came to surrendering and negotiating peace.
Whether Prince Brad and Prince Frauer really wanted to hold peace talks with Bella wasn’t clear. The two were just unsatisfied with Prince Angus’s desire to take command of the entire Northern Alliance forces. They were teaming up against Prince Angus. Being exposed to traditional values, Prince Brad and Prince Frauer had always believed Princess Kriss wouldn’t inherit the throne.
The actual threat was Crown Prince Daniel, whom Prince Angus supported. They were the real political enemies. On the contrary, Kriss wasn’t even on the list. There was no reason to worry about Bella either. According to their intelligence, the newly-crowned imperial duchess had no political inclinations, except for strange thoughts for beautiful girls. She was easy to deal with.
While the three princes were arguing over war or peace, the Johnston family, the last of the three families who originally supported the Northern Alliance, was making their own plans. Owing to a secret armed rebellion, the first family, the Renald family, had mysteriously disappeared after being suppressed by Bella. During this critical time of the war, the Ignaz family had joined the Southern Alliance’s army.
The Johnston family had to reconsider its political inclination. What was left of the original guardians of the empire, the Hilikas family, was their name. If the Johnston family didn’t decide on their political position now, they might not get a chance in the future. The patriarch of the Johnston family, Duke Johnsker, was writing a letter in a private tent. He was surrounded by only a few of his most trusted confidants and associates.
Johnsker wanted to pass the letter to Bella through his daughter, Priest Helena. In order to write the letter, he deliberately found reasons to reject the three princes’ invitation to the meeting. At the time, he would use the Radiant Church’s special homing pigeons to deliver the letter. The guards in the Northern Alliance camp wouldn’t discover that he had borrowed the Radiant Church’s envelope and homing pigeons to express his loyalty to Bella.
“Your Grace, isn’t it a bit too soon to be doing this? The three princes have merely suffered a small setback, not a complete defeat. The Northern Alliance still has the chance to win. There’ll be hell to pay if the Imperial Duchess Bellina doesn’t agree or sends this letter to the three princes.”
“We have no other choice. The Ignaz family has already jumped ship and joined the Southern Alliance. This is the only chance we have. I have to take the risk. The odds of Duchess Bellina… I mean Imperial Duchess Bellina winning are much higher than those princes in the tent who are busy arguing.”
“Place the military defense map of Gabrideck City in the envelope. With this gift to show our sincerity, Imperial Duchess Bellina is more likely to cooperate with us.”
While the three princes were still arguing over political interests, the Johnston family had secretly become the second traitor of the Northern Alliance. They sent Gabrideck City’s military defense layout to Bella. This behavior was worse than the Ignaz family, who had the honor of the Northern Alliance’s first public betrayal. This secret betrayal was equivalent to becoming a spy for the other side.
In the center of the temporary imperial residence in the Belizegra Fortress, within the Southern Alliance base camp in the lower reaches of the Claudina River, Bella was currently discussing important matters with the beautiful girls. There was nothing like the soft body of a beauty to help one forget the fatigue of war. For the first time, Bella realized the significance of military prostitutes.
As the commanders-in-chief of the Southern Alliance were all girls, they didn’t set up a military prostitute camp like regular armies. The soldiers of the Southern Army had no choice but to put up with it and follow their commander’s instructions. Fortunately, the Southern Army had new weapons delivered every day. Weapons such as firearms, cannons, and steam airships were enough to divert the soldiers’ attention so they wouldn’t think of women.
Bella removed her armor and laid naked on a large bed covered with beautiful girls. These beauties were exclusively hers to enjoy. Prince Frauer’s daughter, Doris, had her legs open, allowing Bella to sit in her arms and use her chest as a pillow.
The twin daughters of the former guardian family of the empire, Cahlia and Calman, were nestled in Bella’s arms, one on the left and the other right. They allowed Bella’s left and right hands to freely explore their bodies. The two sisters felt strange sensations in certain parts of their bodies. When Bella bullied one, she was actually bullying the other as well. Because of their interesting reactions, she couldn’t stop herself from caressing them. Bella continuously played with their bodies in various ways. Seeing their wet thighs, she felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart.
“Cahlia, you’ve grown bigger here. How can you, as a younger sister, be bigger than your older sister!”
“Mistress Bella, Big Sister Calman, I was wrong. Don’t squeeze. I didn’t mean to.”
Aside from Cahlia and Calman, Prince Angus’s daughters, Andanielle and Andanetta, were also being bullied on this big bed. With legs wide open, they sat astride Bella’s left and right thighs, allowing their most private area to gently rub against Bella’s snow-white skin. The slick wetness covered their intimate regions and Bella’s thighs. Under her bullying, the two pairs of sisters had switched many different positions following Bella’s instructions.
Prince Brad’s daughters, Cathy and Sarah, lay prostrate at Bella’s feet. They were rubbing against the two silky feet with their plump twin peaks. Bella had personally instructed such an evil way of massaging. After numerous such experiences, they proficiently stuck out their tongues to massage her, despite their flushed faces.
None of the princes, not even Prince Angus, could have imagined that Bella would bully their daughters to such an extent. Although they weren’t hostages, they were treated much worse. Under the irresistible temptation of Demon King Bella, these noble ladies were defeated in Bella’s big bed. They had forgotten their identities; the only thing they remembered was their Mistress Bella.
Under Bella’s domineering gaze, these once haughty beautiful girls dedicated themselves to her. Their wetness stained the pink sheets. The girls were all drenched in sweat, their eyes filled with infatuation. They couldn’t help themselves in front of Bella.
“Look at yourselves. I’d like to use the image crystal to record you so I can slowly savor it later.”
“Mistress, please, don’t do that. We’ve given you everything!”
Using their most coquettish voice, Andanielle and Andanetta pleaded with Bella. It was equivalent to inviting Bella to continue bullying them. Even if she really wanted to use the image crystal, these beautiful girls wouldn’t be able to refuse her.
Unfortunately, Bella’s image crystal remained with the beautiful girls of the Darkness Church. Since she couldn’t use it at the moment, her bold idea could only be temporarily tossed aside.
Aside from the daughters of the three princes and the Hilikas family, the girls of the three great families were also present. They were Irina, the second daughter of the Ignaz family, Priest Helena of the Johnston family, and Renath of the Renald family. The three lay side by side in front of Bella, like pets waiting to be showered with their mistress’s affection. Although it wasn’t their turn yet, their snow-white legs were already wet. The strange slick was clearly visible.
After watching the live performance for so long, the three of them wanted to beg Bella for comfort, but they were too embarrassed to speak. After all, begging to be loved was extremely humiliating. Noticing their embarrassment, Bella used her abilities to move the three of them to her side.
“If you say ‘please mistress, love me,’ I’ll take care of you. If not, you’ll have to watch us enjoy ourselves!”
“Mistress Bella, don’t torture us anymore. The Goddess of Light won’t… You two!”
“Mistress… love me!”
“Mistress, please, I can’t bear it anymore.”
Priest Helena wanted to keep resisting. Unexpectedly, Renath and Irina had defected at once. They moved to Bella’s left and right sides, reached out, and licked her fingers.
Helena couldn’t run away even if she wanted to. The other fallen beauties forcefully pulled her to the middle. Her most private garden was in close contact with Bella’s. The wetness dampened the area.
Bella had a wicked smile on her face. Although she was here to talk business, Bella liked doing it with these beauties in her bed. In such an emotional state, these girls couldn’t conceal their true thoughts. They could only show their truest self in front of her.
Except for Bella, the beautiful girls on the bed all had magic patterns around their necks that resembled a necklace, even Priest Helena. These magic patterns were a sort of evil servant contract. With this, Bella could control everything about them. In order to make things more interesting, she remained motionless. The other girls were made to twist their hips in front of her, allowing her to enjoy their most shameful sides.
Bella kissed the alluring red cherries on Helena’s chest and sucked these delicious fruits. Although Helena’s breasts didn’t have milk like the girls of the Darkness Church, Bella still enjoyed sucking on them. Helena couldn’t even get up. It was as if there was a huge force attracting her to Bella’s body.
Helena trembled violently. She was horrified to find black energy pouring from Bella’s body. This strange black energy contained every girl to Bella’s side.
This was a ritual for the Demon King to bestow evil powers on the human race. It wouldn’t work on those who were sober and firm-willed. However, Helena and the others were currently in a state of confusion. There was nothing better than this little trick. Helena was the only one who had discovered the anomaly. As a priest, she was first to notice something off due to professional habits. The other girls were too focused on pleasure to note anything else.
“Come here. Open your mouth; I’ll give you strength. If you don’t, I’ll have to give it to you through a different part of your body!”
“Mistress, I… I refuse!”
Their little mouths opened uncontrollably, as if Bella’s command contained a curse. The strange black energy turned into a liquid-like state. It poured into their mouths and flowed into their bodies. The girls absorbed the strange energy as if being submerged in water. Once the energy was completely swallowed, they were so limp that they could barely move. Every girl was like soft, boneless flesh leaning against Bella’s body.
“Alright. When the war is over, you will do as I say. I’ve given you strength, so no one will question you on this issue.”
“Mistress, apart from you, no other girl can…”
Bella wanted the daughters of the princes and major families to take over as the head of their respective families after returning. Once Bella used special means to force Prince Angus and the others to abdicate, these beautiful girls would take over. In order to give them enough strength so no one would question them on this issue, Bella performed that evil ceremony.
The ceremony was successful. The two strongest quasi-sword gods, Cahlia and Calman, immediately advanced to the Dark Sword Gods. Even Miss Sarah, the weakest, was now a Sword Sage. Strength was no longer a problem. The other beautiful girls agreed to Bella’s arrangements without much thought.
To make the switch, all they had to do was issue a retirement edict, like the one used for Emperor Alfred the Third, to the elders in their family, that was Prince Angus and the others. Bella intended to support a few influential imperial duchesses and grand duchesses to power. When the people of the Gabriel Empire got used to them, these female nobles would recommend Kriss as the Empress. That way, it would seem more natural.
Not only did the three princes have different opinions regarding the throne, but Bella had her own political schemes as well. She wanted to create the first empire in the history of the human continent where the core nobles were all female. It was more thorough than the Manasvir Empire that was secretly ruled by Empress Manya Felan. Her current test subject was the Gabriel Empire that the emperor had left to her.
“Where did this Radiant Church homing pigeon come from? Could President Maria and the others be so lonely they’ve sent a letter to beg for my affections?”
“Mistress Bella, that’s a homing pigeon used by ordinary church members, not Maria and the others.”
