Chapter 85: Young Master Hal’s Other Unknown Side (Part 1)
Ximengsi Continent’s southern region, Adelaide Kingdom’s strategic border town, Atad, Suzerain Earl Harrison’s residence
Earl Harrison’s major birthday and Young Master Hal’s wedding ceremony were still in the midst of intense preparations. At the same time, Steinbeck Fief’s army gathered, making preparations to attack Atad.
Compared to the previous war with Cromwell Principality, the morale of Steinbeck Fief’s troops was clearly higher. With their equipment having improved by multiple grades, their confidence had also risen by quite a few levels. Although the number of enemy troops was nearly twice their own, that had little effect on their morale.
Princess Natalie and Miss Jenny, who were in charge of these 10,000 or so troops, had already received the information sent by Clyde via secret magical communication. After learning Clyde’s plan, they both looked at the other in blank dismay and were somewhat embarrassed. Taking advantage of a wedding and birthday banquet to launch a surprise attack was quite immoral. Merely, among the guests that had come to participate in this banquet, there were also people of royal and aristocratic families from other nations. This was the specific reason they found things difficult as it could make new enemies.
“Natalie, do you truly want to act according to Master’s instructions? There are people from our countries too!”
“Jenny, you and I are people of Lord Clyde. Do you have any other choice? Besides, this might be a test of loyalty. You shouldn’t think too much.”
“I... I know. Let’s just act according to Master’s instructions.”
After Princess Natalie and Jenny hesitated for a bit, they chose to follow Clyde’s directions. In any case, they were already regarded as killed in action by their own nations. Now, Steinbeck Fief was their only nation. After thinking of this point, Natalie and Jenny immediately went to arrange the troops to prepare for warfare.
In Earl Harrison’s residence, under the arrangements of Butler Kenneth, Clyde arrived at a luxurious VIP room. The decoration and overall arrangement of the room were really good. In fact, it was better than many hotels’ presidential suites. There were many utensils made of gold, signifying the highest standard of treatment. Generally, most nobles only had silver utensils. Now, Clyde enjoyed the same treatment as the royal family.
After Butler Kenneth left, Clyde finally saw the special welcome gift he had spoken of. Upon seeing the boorish smile on that old fellow’s face before he left, Clyde, more or less, had already guessed what the gift was. Clark Alliance practiced slavery, so their gifts basically always were of that aspect.
On a luxurious bed inside the room were two beautiful maids waiting for Clyde’s arrival. Appearing less than twenty years in age, they had luscious brown hair and sat on their knees on the big bed. Their entire bodies were completely bare, and large expanses of white skin were completely exposed to the air. Their hands were bound to their backs, and a red rope ensnared the rest of their fair bodies, preventing them from moving. In addition, this red rope also circled these maids’ well-developed bosoms in passing, forcing them to throw out their chests and display their beautiful bodies.
A red leather collar also adorned each maid’s snowy white neck. At the center of these leather collars were attached thin iron chains. These maids were also blindfolded with black cloth, and their speaking ability prevented by a small red ball each. Clyde could see distinct water lines at the corners of their mouths. Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, those two maids shivered, and their faces became slightly red. Before Clyde had arrived, they had clearly been fed good wine and a certain mysterious medication.
After Clyde observed them carefully, he unexpectedly discovered that these two maids weren’t normal ordinary girls. They had martial skills and cultivation. However, on their bodies were clear lash marks. In order to make them submit, they must have experienced various kinds of wicked erotic training.
However, Clyde didn’t find any slave imprints on their bodies. According to his understanding of Clark Alliance, not having a slave imprint was proof that they were still chaste and undefiled. Generally, only after their first time had been stolen would they gain a slave imprint. It seemed Butler Kenneth regarded him as an important personage, so he had arranged two untouched and sealed/intact maids for him.
This was not the first time Clyde had seen such a wicked scene, so he could still endure this. After properly locking the door, he walked over and untied the black blindfolds and removed the small red balls of those two maids. After the two maids saw Clyde, their brown pupils were dazed. They had thought that they would be offered to those aristocrats and had never expected such a young handsome man.
“You two can leave. I don’t need...”
“Don’t, don’t chase us away! We beg you. If you don’t want us, we will be passed on for other aristocrats to enjoy.”
“Whatever you want to do is fine. Don’t chase us away, please.”
Upon seeing Clyde had no interest, the complexions of the two maids turned deathly pale from slightly red. If it were not for the red ropes restraining them, they would have knelt down and begged Clyde. If Clyde pushed them away, then Butler Kenneth would definitely arrange them for others to enjoy them. Instead of being enjoyed by those aristocrats, they preferred this young handsome man who at least didn’t look cruel like those aristocrats did.
After seeing the other party shedding tears, Clyde couldn’t bear to decline them. He walked over and untied the red ropes binding their bodies. Because these two maids had maintained their postures for a long time, their blood circulation had cut off, so they powerlessly toppled to the ground. Even though they had been released, they had no way to exert the strength to resist.
After undergoing various kinds of wicked erotic trainings, these two maids instinctively knelt in front of Clyde and looked at him with inquiring eyes, awaiting Clyde’s instructions. The red leather collars around their necks couldn’t be unlocked until death.
“Lord, you... don’t you need any services?”
“Eh, you two aren’t ordinary maids? Generally, maids don’t have martial skills.”
“Lord, we... we...”
“I like honest people. If you two are unwilling to tell, then I can only...”
“Don’t! Lord, we will tell everything.”
Clyde’s complexion sunk a little because he lost the chance to have some fun since those two maids immediately admitted defeat and confessed everything under his attentive gaze. As it turned out, these two maids originally hadn’t been maids. They were female guards of Gracia Principality’s Miss Alicia, Aike and Ailu. Both of them had been senior knights. In this political marriage between Gracia Principality and Adelaide Kingdom, Alicia was an unwilling party. Helpless, her father could only send his trusted knights to Adelaide Kingdom to look for a reason to break this wedding.
Unexpectedly, Young Master Hal of Earl Harrison’s family was a hidden gentleman and had schemed to catch Alicia’s party in one fell swoop. Looking at the awful conditions of these two female guards, Alicia might not be in a much better state. Alicia was a paladin. During her childhood, she was reputed to have been a genius knight girl, so Clyde could only feel her fall was a shame.
During the rookie ranking competition of Ximengsi Continent’s Knight Guild, Alicia had been ranked tenth. Hal, however, was just a mage cultivating dark magic, and his rank was clearly not as high as Alicia’s.
“Aike, Ailu, isn’t your family’s Miss a Paladin? How was she captured?”
“We were deceived by Hal. According to our prior information, Hal was just an Apprentice Magician. In addition, when we first met him, he had a refined and courteous appearance, but who would have thought that he actually was...”
Aike and Ailu spoke of the humiliation that they had experienced after being captured while blushing. That day, Miss Alica had been tricked into following Hal into a certain mysterious forest where they had encountered multiple surprise attacks by demonic creatures. Alicia and the knights under her had desperately resisted, narrowly breaking through a tight encirclement. Although no one had been killed in action, all of them had been exhausted and collapsed on the ground as soon as they had reached safety. The matters afterward were easy to tell. Those subordinates of Hal had taken advantage of that moment to attack them, and Alicia’s party had been subdued.
Alicia had originally still had some strength left to fight, but Hal had despicably used the knights under her as hostages. Under this sort of threat, Alicia had had no choice but to lay down her arms and surrender. She had then humiliated herself by undressing under the wicked commands of Hal. After she had taken off everything but her undergarments, she had been forced to kneel down with her hands behind her back, letting Hal capture her.
Originally, Alicia had been to marry Hal, so even if she had been imprisoned, Grecia Principality also wouldn’t have noticed anything unusual. However, Hal cultivated dark magic, so as a paladin, Alicia felt that it was very shameful to marry him. In fact, she had had the impulse to commit suicide quite a few times before. Now, the knight squad that had come along with her was secretly imprisoned in the secret place of Earl Harrison’s residence by Hal.
“Lord, we beg you: help us report this to Light Church. Hal is cultivating taboo undead magic. Once he cultivates to a high-level, he will bring disaster.”
“Lord, Miss Alicia discovered Hal’s secret. Please show us benevolence. We will do anything. Although there is no evidence, we beg you. Believe in us!”
“Eh, this...”
Clyde was a little embarrassed, Knight Aike and Knight Ailu would have never thought that they were now begging an Evil God to go and get rid of an Undead Shaman, which was equivalent to making Clyde deal with people of the same side. Thinking deeply, Clyde didn’t reply immediately. After all, their chastises were not under their control now, so they had nothing to offer as repayment.
While Clyde was considering how to respond, he suddenly noticed something monitoring him. This transparent figure was a specter-type existence. In the entire residence, at present, only Clyde and Young Master Hal could use ghosts, implying that Hal was the one observing them.
