Book 7: Chapter 436: Crisis Lifted for Kerclav Academy and Withholding from Alan Island
The Aldridge Empire’s seaside resort, near Oldrango City’s port, on the voyage to Alan Island. In the rear fleet of the Twelve Academy’s joint fleet, the captain’s room of Kerclav Academy’s ship, the fight between Bella and the beautiful girl, who was behind the Sea Demonic Beast ambush, was decided in just three moves.
The soul magic of the beautiful girl was also useless against Bella. The move, “Soul Shock”, required the caster’s soul to be much stronger than the victim to cause damage. Bella’s soul’s strength was at the very least at the level of a Demon God, while the highest strength of the “Soul Shock” attack was at most at the level of a Demon king. It had no effect on Bella whatsoever.
Bella easily shredded “Soul Shock”. After closing in, she used the Demon King’s ultimate move, “Dark Afterimage”, sending her opponent flying. The mastermind behind the scenes disappeared, but after a moment, she inexplicably reappeared in the same place.
“Ahem, you… What was that attack?”
“That’s a secret. You think you can run? Not many girls can run from me, you know?”
The beautiful girl’s face twisted terribly. She seemed to be seriously injured. Bella’s “Dark Afterimage” was an attack focused on dealing internal damage. She had been hit, so there was no way for her to run for a short while. Now, she was pressing one hand on her chest. Apparently, she had been hit in the heart.
Bella came before the beautiful girl and began to suspect that she might be the descendant of some lost civilization. At her chest was a soul necklace with a special shape. According to the information Bella had obtained from Ocean General Sinir, it came from a maritime civilization that disappeared a thousand years ago and was the symbol of the Bridges Kingdom’s royal family. It symbolized their never-ending unorthodox faith.
The Bridges Kingdom died out a thousand years ago due to the influence of the Cursed Land. From the girl’s appearance, she should only be a princess. The queen consorts, empresses, and the like would have unique identity rings on their fingers, and she did not have those.
The only thing Bella could be sure of now was that this beauty wasn’t alive. A normal human would not be able to live this long. For the elves with longer lifespans, casually living a few thousand years or so wasn’t anything unusual. Only when someone was a half-elf, like Princess Kliveny with half the lifespan of elves, would they be able to live more than a thousand years.
“What are you looking at? I don’t need pity or sympathy. I…”
“Uh, I’m not here to tell you to let go of your hatred and to relearn your humanity. But please, princess, could you remove the curse on the Soul Binding Nail? Oh right, you’re free to do as you please after that. I don’t care.”
“You… What’s wrong with you? As the grand duke of an empire, you actually…”
Bella’s words caused the last descendant of the Bridges Kingdom, Princess Brehanna, to freeze. For a moment, she had no idea how to continue the conversation and she stopped halfway through her sentence. She had initially wanted to persuade Bella to perform her duties as an imperial grand duke, but then she thought, wasn’t the script a bit wrong? What kind of villain would try to convince a good person to do good things? But… Did Bella count as a good person?
There was a special curse on the Soul Binding Nail, and the best way to remove it was to have the original caster dispel it. When the Soul Binding Nail was used on a live person, one must try their best to remove it within a day. Otherwise, the damage it could cause to a living person was great.
“I… I refuse. Even if you kill me, I won’t help you remove the curse on the nail.”
“Princess, stop being so willful. Forget it; it’s fine even if I do it myself. It’s just that I was giving you a chance.”
Bella searched out several Soul Binding Nails from Princess Brehanna’s body. She seemed to know where the sources of power were on her body and could easily find the energy points. An undead like her would have her cultivation ruined once a Soul Binding Nail was stuck on her energy points.
“This is your final chance, princess. If you don’t help me, I’ll cripple your cultivation. But don’t worry. If that happens, I’ll take care of you for the rest of my life, and I’ll bring you to enjoy the thriving streets of the Aldridge Empire each and every day.”
“Wait… I’ll do it. I’ll do it! If I help you, will you let me go?”
“Sure. But you have to tell me your name. Your real name!”
“Can I believe the words of an enemy?”
“Do you have any other choice? There’s not much time left, princess! My hands often slip, so I might accidentally fall over if I’m not careful!”
After being on a standstill for a while, Brehanna finally conceded. But there was nothing she could do about it; she couldn’t lose her power. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to fulfill her thousand-year wish to restore her kingdom. After lifting the curse on the Soul Binding Nail, Bella fulfilled her promise and let Brehanna return for now.
Of course, Brehanna didn’t pay a small price either. Bella managed to get her name and even left with her three sizes. Since Bella and Princess Brehanna were talking like best friends whispering to each other, Princess Kliveny, who was watching them from a distance, had no idea what happened between them. She could only watch Bella deal with the situation.
With the defeat of Last Princess Brehanna, the Sea Beasts surrounding the fleet began to disperse, and a crisis was averted. Bella did not ask about the Bridges Kingdom even after she let Princess Brehanna go; this made Brehanna feel uneasy. Bella had only asked a few questions that had nothing to do with the interests of her empire, such as her name and three sizes. She didn’t even bother to pry for any important information. Brehanna had originally thought up a bunch of ways to weasel her way out of them, but she never got to use them in the end.
She really couldn’t understand. How did this grand duke get to where she was today? But in comparison to those muddle-headed noblemen who were born with silver spoons in their mouths, Bella’s strength was clearly not from the same ballpark.
Bella didn’t explain, either. She just wanted Brehanna to remember her as special and to have her gain an interest in her, inching one step towards success. She had a way of resurrecting Brehanna and turning her back to a living state. With the assistance of the Goddess of Death and the Goddess of Life, resurrecting someone who had been dead for more than a thousand years, which seemed very counterintuitive, would actually be achievable.
Last Princess Brehanna wasn’t the only descendant of the Bridges Kingdom. There were several other royal families who wanted to stir the pot as well. Instead of alarming them, Bella temporarily gave up on capturing Brehanna. As for the feud between the Bridges Kingdom and the Aldridge Empire, Bella felt that she had no right or obligation to mediate it as a third party.
After the sea beasts dispersed, the fleet managed to arrive at Alan Island without any further hiccups. Due to this accident, the Aldridge Empire requested for the students not to disembark for the time being. They would have the Empire’s military troops conduct a careful security check around the entirety of Alan Island to confirm that there were no problems before they would decide whether to inform the Imperial Union. They would leave the choice of rehosting the Twelve Academy Tournament in a different venue to the union.
The ban on disembarkation on this day forced most of the students to stay on the ships and wait for the results. After experiencing the terrifying attack, the Kerclav Academy’s ship broke away from their small group of three academies not affiliated with the Olsylvia Academy. They became the seventh member to join Bella’s Twelve Academies fleet, following Bella’s lead very naturally.
Bella was currently using the identity of the Gabriel Empire’s Grand Duke Bellina, as it was more appropriate to use this identity to stay on the Kerclav Academy’s ship. The Kerclav Academy was a swordsman’s academy, with a large portion of the students there being from the Gabriel Empire.
In the captain’s cabin, Bella was taking care of President Kliveny and the others. After the curse was lifted on the Soul Binding Nails fixed to their bodies, Bella carefully removed them. Afterward, she quickly wrapped white gauze around the injuries of the vice president and the others so that they would not bleed out.
The girls, who were grateful to Bella, did not have any suspicions that she had any ulterior motives. Bella deliberately bound their hands and feet together under the justifiable reason of bandaging their wounds. These girls had just been hurt by the Soul Binding Nails and had no strength in their limbs at all. They would need a day of rest to recover.
Without the knowledge of Kerclav’s “Nine Swords of the Academy”, they had all been bound by the demoness Bella. These noble and elegant swordsman ladies still had no idea of Bella’s “evil intentions” and allowed Bella to wrap them up before putting them on the bed in Princess Kliveny’s lounge.
Bella waited until everyone arrived before locking the bedroom door and hanging up the “Do Not Disturb” sign. Even if they noticed that things weren’t quite right, it was too late for the swordswomen young mistresses to regret it. Bella locked them all up in here and began a day of “special care”.
The many erotic events in their special care filled the faces of these beautiful swordswomen with shame, but they were unable to move and say anything. They could only wait like lambs for Bella’s “slaughter”.
Bella treated them as her beloved dolls, posing them into various humiliating positions to play with. From time to time, Bella would bury her face into their chests and suckle on those beautiful “red cherries” as if she were tasting the most delicious fruits in the world.
Since they were unable to move, they could only leave everything to Bella. Whether it be feeding, bathing, massaging, or even the most humiliating part of going to the toilet, it was all under Bella’s control. As time went on, even if they felt ashamed, their bodies had already fallen to habit, no longer rejecting Bella’s various forms of bullying.
Bella was confident that on this day, she would be able to mold Kerclav’s “Nine Swords” into cute little “kittens” that only behaved well in front of her. Once they fell, Bella would be able to have her pick of any of the Kerclav Academy’s beautiful swordswomen with their help.
After watching Bella carry in Vice President Emily, who had been outside the whole time, the other vice presidents gave up on struggling and no longer wiggled their bodies to resist Bella’s bullying. If even Emily fell under Bella’s control, the entire Kerclav Academy’s student union body would basically be in her hands.
The top rung of the Kerclav Academy’s student union was made up of the nine vice-presidents nicknamed the “Nine Swords of the Academy”, and they were all beautiful girls. This time, Bella relied on Last Princess Brehanna’s “unintentional” assist to fish them all up in the same net.
The Kerclav Swordsman Academy also became the third academy where the student union president and the top rung vice presidents of the student union had fallen under Bella’s complete “control”, after the Frederica Academy and the Alexis Assassin’s Academy.
Bella sat on the bed while holding Princess Kliveny, wrapped in white gauze, and carefully groped her seductive body from behind. Princess Kliveny was blushing and trying her best to suppress her desires so she would not be teased into arousal.
“Grand Duke Bellina, please stop. This is not good… Please pay attention to your noble image as a grand duke!”
“Big Sister Kliveny, you’re truly so charming that I cannot control myself. It really tastes good here!”
“Where… No, stop kissing… It’s too ticklish! Hurry and stop… Please…”
“Resistance is futile, Big Sister Kliveny. We will be a family in the future, so just Bella is fine.”
While rubbing Kliveny’s plump chest, Bella would occasionally pinch the bright red “cherries” in front, teasing them. On the other hand, she would move her hand across Kliveny’s smooth navel and reach down to explore her sensitive garden. Under this top-down teasing, Kliveny was almost begging for mercy.
All these years, Princess Kliveny had been focused on her swordplay and was unbothered by the ways of the world. She would never have expected that there would be so many erotic ways for a girl to bully another girl. In front of a “lily veteran” like Bella, a “newbie” like her without any experience could only be tormented by others.
Bella had played with many elven girls in the past. Based on her experience, the most sensitive part of an elven beauty was their pointed ears. Kliveny was a half-elf, so her sensitive part should also be her ears, just like the elves.
At that thought, Bella moved her face over, pressing her body against Princess Kliveny’s smooth back and taking in her sensitive ears into her mouth for a nibble. The way Bella was doing this looked like she was biting them, but in fact, she was licking her ears, no doubt about it.
Kliveny’s body shivered as if she had been electrocuted by that lick. Even her little mouth that was originally closed could not stay shut. Bella took this opportunity to further her “attack”, prying open Kliveny’s lips with her tongue and bringing them to a french kiss.
Kliveny’s blue-green heterochromia eyes shone with a dazzling luster. Her first kiss had been snatched away by a girl just like that. Kliveny had heard in the past that Bella and Kriss seemed to share a special relationship beyond ordinary friendship. During that time, she naively believed that the two girls had a merely normal relationship. But now, it seemed that Bella was truly too “dangerous”. It wasn’t just Kriss; she even dared to set her eyes on her.
“Bella, what are you trying to do? I… I’m a girl! You…”
“I just want a half-elf big sister. So what if you’re a girl? It’s fine as long as there’s love!”
For a moment, Kliveny could not refute her. Even though she knew that Bella was just twisting her words around, she couldn’t really find a way to reject her theory. If the debate went on, she might even have to agree with Bella’s point of view. In order to keep the last shred of her sanity, Kliveny chose to remain silent and to fight for time to calm herself down.
Unfortunately, Bella never offered anyone time to rest and think. She secretly activated the magical teleportation array she had set up in advance in the captain’s cabin and a naked girl was teleported over. After seeing the beauty’s appearance, Kliveny’s last shred of psychological defense collapsed.
“Khalifa, why did you come… Wait, what are you getting so closer for? Stop it!”
“Big Sister Vinny, it was Big Sister Bella who asked me to come bully you. Blame her if you have to! Now, don’t mind if I do!”
Princess Khalifa of the Gabriel Empire, who had already been tormented to the point of addiction by Bella, also known as Kriss’s little sister and was something akin to Bella’s “sister-in-law”, very naturally pressed against Kliveny’s body under Bella’s instigation, kissing her sister’s pretty face.
Only now was Kliveny finally unable to hold back her lust. Even though she knew that Khalifa was her little sister, the sense of taboo made it hard for Kliveny to hold herself back. She soon sunk into this special exchange between sisters.
If Kriss was here too, this scene would have been perfect. Unfortunately, Bella had not officially pushed Kriss down yet, so this beautiful fantasy would have to be saved for later.
The other members of the “Nine Swords” on the bed, the vice presidents of Kerclav Academy’s student union, also put down their mental burdens when they saw that even their president, Princess Kliveny, had fallen. Bella had the two sisters, Kliveny and Khalifa, enjoy their sweet time while she went off with a naughty grin on her face to savor the other vice presidents.
The other Kerclav Academy students would never be able to dream that their respected “Nine Swords of the Academy”, as well as their student union president Princess Kliveny, would be pinned down under someone and bullied into such unimaginable arousal. This fantastic scene that was hot enough to cause nosebleeds was one that only Bella had the right to enjoy.
The security check at Alan Island ended the next morning. Bella had gotten off Kerclav Academy’s ship early in the day and returned to her own academy’s ship. The Kerclav Academy’s student union president, Princess Kliveny, bowed slightly with a red face as she followed Bella’s side. She looked just like a new bride stepping into her “husband’s” family home for the first time.
“Big Sister Kliveny, are you still unwell anywhere? Why don’t I pick you up tonight instead?”
“Bella, isn’t it because you spent all day bullying me? I don’t care about anything else, but you have to take responsibility for me to the end!”
