Nelson’s resting place, the “Palace of Bliss” within a hidden area of his palace in the Obadiah Region, the Two Headed Ogre Nelson’s territory, at the south of New Moon Island – also known as Copperfield Island.
Bella stood at the gates, a little depressed. She finally understood what the words “Palace of Bliss” written in bold letters in the ogre’s language after she had entered the palace meant. This was the Ogre Nelson’s dark slaughterhouse.
According to the elite ogre soldiers, everything within this palace was Nelson’s “personal collection”. As ogres were not a race that enjoyed collecting precious treasures, it was immediately apparent to Bella what he actually collected.
“I seriously cannot… Nelson, that fellow, the things that he collects are too…”
Human carcasses that had been pierced in all sorts of vile ways were littered along both sides of the pathway. Judging by the rate of decay, these bodies were relatively new and had only been dead for a few days. Bella held her breath against the putrid stench of rotting flesh as she moved along the path. In one hand, she held the savior’s Great Evil Slaying Sword while a small round shield was clutched in the other.
Bloody pieces of skeletons were attached to each pillar with metal chains. The tops of each skull had been chipped off and they were being used as ornamental lamps which burned with an eerie blue ghost fire. The weak flames flickered as Bella walked past them.
By this point, it took every bit of courage Bella had to continue walking along the path. This place was everything a director of horror movies had ever dreamt of. She decided that she would instruct all of the Demon Lords under her to redecorate their lairs in such a manner when she returned to the Darkness Sacred Region.
“Where in the world did that Nelson disappear to? It would be so much easier if he would just step out and duel with me. I don’t believe that one would be able to experience much joy in such a place… wait, that piece of cloth looks like…”
Being observant, Bella saw some pieces of familiar clothing that had been torn to shreds. Even though the lights were dim, she was able to confirm that some of the pieces had the academy crest of Frederica Academy on them.
Frederica Academy was one of the twelve academies of the human empire. The academy was located on the eastern part of the continent, in the coastal city of Frederica, located in the Aldridge Empire.
“These clothes are for girls… I can’t believe it, could Nelson be… could he be someone who has a female dress complex? Ahem… this…”
After making sure that these scraps of clothes once belonged to a girl’s uniform, Bella searched for the academy crest as Frederica Academy and Olsylvia Academy had the same style of uniforms.
Every school in the human empire shared the same standard uniform. The only way to differentiate between schools was to check the academy crest. No one knew which lazy designer came up with this ridiculous idea. To be honest, it was pretty genius of him or her to take loafing on the job to a whole new level.
The thought of a grotesquely bloated ogre doing all sorts of strange acts to a bunch of female clothing made Bella nauseous as a wave of disgust swept over her face. This mental image was so overwhelmingly beautiful that even a Demon King like her could barely stand it.
A true “gentleman” ogre who dared to take female clothing head on? Impossible! Bella did not want to even look at that piece of trash that made her eyes bleed! She followed the trail of clothes further into the palace with the Great Evil Slaying Sword at the ready. Once she caught sight of the perverted ogre, Nelson, she would immediately unleash the “Facial Blur” on him.
This was the right place. When she reached the end of the path, Bella came to the deepest corner of Nelson’s resting place. The height of the doors in this area was only three meters, which did not make sense as Nelson was at least six meters in height. There was no way he could fit through a door of this height. Without thinking any further, she pushed the slightly ajar door open.
Was this supposed to be an elegantly decorated slaughter room? Wait, Bella thought, this place is inexplicably familiar. A pool of what looked like blood stood in the middle of the room. However, it seemed more refined than a blood pool. The liquid within this pool was extremely clear and was filled with all sorts of fragrant herbs and spices.
Chains of various thickness hung from the ceilings. As Bella looked past the steam permeating the air, she could tell what the situation was like within the room. Isn’t this… Bella fell silent as she did not know what to do.
The room was filled with many human beauties who had been imprisoned by the ogre. Most of them seemed to be students who were around Bella’s age. These girls in front of her had already been stripped bare. Bella deduced that the shreds of uniforms she had seen earlier must have belonged to them.
These naked young ladies were being hung by their wrists, which were wrapped in thick metal chains that were connected to the ceiling. In addition, their feet were bound in heavy metal cuffs. Their hair was all wild and unkempt. Their bodies glistened with a wet sheen, as though they had been forcibly “washed” by someone. Bits of herbs and spices from the pool Bella had seen earlier clung on to many of those girls.
These girls were all blindfolded with a strip of black cloth and there was a mysterious little black ball between their teeth, a tool that Bella was absolutely familiar with. Each girl had a black collar with tiny little bumps around their necks. In the center of those chokers were chains held together by heavy locks that had their keyholes soldered shut. This was probably to ensure that these girls would be locked away for eternity.
Other than binding their hands and feet, the girls were also wrapped in thin metal chains. They were bound in a technique that Bella was clearly familiar with – it was the one that Duke Aldris had used when he had abducted Annie and Roland. The knots were exactly the same. However, the last time, Aldris had used red hemp ropes while the girls here were wrapped in thin metal chains. This meant that the sensations felt by the one being held captive would be different as well.
Streaks of tears were seen on the girls’ beautiful faces where they had rolled off their faces along the black blindfolds. Much of the young girls’ porcelain white skin had obvious marks from being whipped. Their captor, probably out of purely malicious fun, had attached little bells on the peaks of their chests which would give off a crisp tinkle along with the rise and fall of their chests as they breathed.
Even the Demon King Bella was in awe of such gentlemanly methods. She had to admit defeat. She had thought that she was an expert in such corruption methods. Who knew that there was someone out there who had even more depraved ideas than she did. Many familiar tools decorated the walls, such as whips, candles and triangular… everything was there.
Wait, Bella had those strange tools in her secret interrogation room as well. The key difference was that the tools that Bella had were more humanely designed. Her tools were meant to inflict pain that walked the fine line between pain and pleasure. On the other hand, the tools here were clearly meant to be used for torture and interrogation.
What kind of seasoned expert was this? The techniques of this guy definitely surpassed the capabilities of Duke Aldris. If he saw this, that old guy would be rolling over in his grave. Back then, Aldris had only kept two of them captive, unlike this master of corruption who had imprisoned a large group of girls. Based on what she could see, Bella estimated that there were more than thirty girls being held captive here.
Based on the shreds of cloth from the Frederica Academy’s uniforms, Bella deduced that these beautiful young ladies who were being held prisoner were all students from the academy. These girls were all extremely good looking and were comparable to the girls from the “Arts School” – the Antoinette Academy next to Olsylvia Academy.
When they heard footsteps, the imprisoned girls were all extremely anxious. As they had no way of seeing who it was, they thought that the demon had returned. For some strange perverted reason, Bella decided to remain silent and continued her foray into the room.
For some unknown reason, Bella felt that the tinkle from the bells was especially soothing. Was it possible that she shared an intriguing sense of affinity and understanding with that big gentleman? If it was up to her, Bella would definitely allow them to remain in their status quo.
Could this mysterious gentleman be the Two Headed Ogre Nelson? That fellow was an enormous creature that was more than six meters tall. It was mind boggling how he would be able to accomplish such a professional standard of rope binding. At this point, Bella did not have the impulse to kill Nelson as soon as she saw him. In fact, she was much more curious about who this ogre was to be able to do something like this.
This particular area of the room held around seven or eight beautiful young ladies. Based on their appearances, they were probably the biggest belles of Frederica Academy. Their attractiveness was probably on par with the top ten belles of Olsylvia Academy, with the exception of President Isaman and Kriss.
Among the belles of the Frederica Academy, some of them were definitely as attractive as President Angelia. It was obvious that these girls had been given some “special attention”. Other than marks from being whipped, there were also traces of wax on various parts of their bodies. Otherwise, they were just like the other beautiful young ladies outside. However, the bells attached to them were much larger and rang much more loudly and clearly.
Furthermore, they were stuck on some specially made metal poles where their arms and feet were forced apart and the girls were kept in a “spread eagled” position. Their wrists and ankles were cuffed into place, the locks on each cuff were locked, and the key holes were welded shut as well.
In addition, the girls were bound with an array of leather straps. It was as though they were “humanoid sculptures” that had been mounted onto the pillars. Each pillar had a little outlet that constantly sprayed water on their bodies.
Also, Bella suspected that the straps on the little balls in their mouths had been sealed shut as well. This gentleman was clearly merciless in his attempt to keep these girls imprisoned in his lair forever.
The most depraved thing was that a soft massaging feather had been designed to be put beneath their feet. Ever so often, it would move up and automatically tickle their feet. This caused the girls to be stuck in an eternal state of “ecstasy”. It was as though they had given up all hope.
“Eh, isn’t this… this girl looks like…”
Bella walked up to one of the pillars where a girl with straw colored hair was bound and gagged. This must be the top of the list of the Frederica Academy Belles. Her face was tender and delicate and soft to the touch. Furthermore, this was definitely the most popular out of all of the girls here as her bosom was much larger than any of them.
Due to the black blindfold, Bella could not see the expression on her face. However, Bella thought that she would have lost all hope by now. It must have been hard for her to be subjected to such humiliation while being held against her will and not even be able to take her own life to escape this misery. Bella hesitated again and again before finally taking off the blindfold that covered the eyes on this lovely face and revealed a pair of weary sky-blue irises.
It was really her! This was the younger sister of Director Carlos, Caroline. Bella had seen her previously on a recruitment poster of the Golden Legend Society. She heard that she was the top belle and the only student union president of Frederica Academy. She was not of the mage profession, but she was a genius businesswoman.
“I knew it was you. I thought that that playboy Carlos had a new girlfriend, but it was you. President Caroline, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Well, bye now.”
As Bella approached her once again with the blindfold, Caroline shook her head vigorously. She had been held captive for almost three days and had been subjected to all sorts of perverse play in various humiliating positions by a mysterious gentleman. The most infuriating thing was that every time the girls had been teased to the edge of ecstasy, he would stop. No one knew if he did it on purpose or not.
At the beginning, she and the other belles were unwilling to submit to him, but they eventually caved. However, that mysterious gentleman always left before they could achieve release. The girls did not know whether to laugh or cry at their current situation. The only one to blame was that annoying brother of hers, Carlos, who suggested sending all the beautiful single young ladies of Frederica Academy on a sponsored trip at sea.
In the end, they were attacked by the Sirens as soon as they went out to sea. Afterwards, they had all been sent here and toyed with in different positions. Caroline knew that this was the ogres’ territory even before she had been blindfolded. Initially, she was afraid that she would be killed and eaten by the ogres. Now, Caroline would rather be eaten than be subjected to this humiliation!
As she looked at Bella, who was dressed in a knight’s armor, Caroline was touched to the point of tears. While she had been imprisoned here, she had sworn that she would pledge her hand in marriage to the brave warrior who saved her from the ogre’s perverted clutches. However, she did not expect that her savior would be a girl. How can she fulfil her oath now?
Seeing that Bella was about to put her blindfold on again, Caroline began to panic. In her despair, she had finally seen a glimmer of hope. There was no way that she was going to let this opportunity slip through her fingers! Her eyes filled up with tears once again. Hopefully this female knight was not going to tease her like that. At this point, she was only a defenseless puppet who had no way of resisting.
“Don’t cry. I’m sure your brother Carlos must have mentioned me many times. I am his nemesis, the Vice-Director of the Rose Society, Bella. So, it would be best for you to remain here while I inform your brother of your whereabouts. This place is filled with ogres; there’s no way I can get you out of here.”
If she could speak, Caroline would practically be begging Bella to help her. Her arrogance had been whittled down to nothing after three days of torture. Bella’s appearance at this point in time had brought her nothing but hope.
Moreover, the siblings did not have a good relationship. Initially, the Golden Business Association had named Carlos as its heir. However, due to Caroline’s natural business acumen, she was far more talented in this area than her brother. Therefore, the higher-ups within the family had wavered and a majority of them had the intention to let her take over the association instead.
Carlos did not join them on the unfortunate trip where they were attacked by Sirens as he said that he needed to prepare for “The Great Hunt”. Come to think of it, the trip must have been a trap! Caroline had begun to suspect that her brother had set this up to trick her. Knowing that she had been captured by ogres, there was no way that he would send a team to rescue her.
“Just be quiet and stay here, alright? By the way, I don’t do this for free. Your freedom comes with a price. I trust that Frederica Academy is pretty well off. However, I don’t see a need for money. Hmm, in that case I’ll ask for other forms of remuneration. I can ask for anything! All you have to do is nod in agreement.”
There were many “traps” in Bella’s words as the word anything could mean so many things. What choice did Caroline have? She was desperate! If she did not agree to Bella’s demands, there was no way she would leave this horrifying place alive. What if she had agreed and Bella requested something unreasonable that would put her in a bind? What would she do then?
In the end, Caroline eventually nodded in agreement. No matter how unreasonable the request, Bella was still a girl. What are the chances that she would get “devoured” and taken advantage of? Once Bella saw her nod, a mysterious smirk appeared on her face that made Caroline feel a little uncomfortable.
“Well, it’s a deal. Be patient and wait for me. As for the blindfold, keep it on! You’ve already been wearing it for so long, it wouldn’t make a difference if you put it on a while longer!”
Ignoring her pitiful stares, Bella put on the blindfold that covered Caroline’s sky blue irises. Afterwards, she used her “special” method to give her a full body scan. Fortunately, she had not been truly “violated”. Somehow, this mysterious gentleman did not really covet her body.
“Hehe, Carlos, your sister isn’t too bad after all. What a pity that she will be mine in an instant. By the way, what about the other girls?”
Afterwards, Bella shamelessly asked every single belle of Frederica Academy the same question she had posed to Caroline. Even though they knew that it might be a trap, they had no choice but to agree. In the end, Bella decided that she might as well ask the girls who were bound outside as well. Those girls were much easier than the belles as most of them agreed without much thought.
After a round of questioning, there was something that bugged Bella. She did not understand how all these girls had been left “untouched”. This mysterious gentleman exercised far too much restraint for Bella to comprehend. If it were her, she would have already… could this guy be impotent? Otherwise, he was gentlemanly to the extent that he was invincible.
However, the ogre Nelson was nowhere to be seen as Bella ventured further into the room. Caroline and the other girls now had a demon’s mark on their chest. This branded them as a Demon King’s property. Later on, when the Demon King’s Army arrived, they would use these marks as an indicator and shift them to a location specified by Bella.
The locks on their bindings had all been welded shut and it would take a fair bit of time to undo them. Bella intended to arrange for her most trusted demons to take them all away and remove their bindings after they had been moved to a secure location. As for when they would be allowed to return to Frederica Academy would be dependent on Bella’s whims and fancies.
Nelson’s resting place, the “Palace of Bliss” within a hidden area of his palace in the Obadiah Region, the Two Headed Ogre Nelson’s territory, at the south of New Moon Island – also known as Copperfield Island.
