Become their wicked yet gentle lord.

"Did you hear that? Her Highness already said so~"

However, the flirtatious tone in Ryuka's voice was unbearable. Despite her inability to endure it, Ryuka still dragged her to the bedside by the neck and tossed her onto the soft mattress! The mattress bounced a few times, causing the thick metal hook deeply embedded in her rear to rub heavily against the soft inner walls. The multiple sensations of tingling, pain, and shame made her cry out in utter misery!

Whether it was hands capable of severing steel or feet capable of crushing the earth, at this moment, she was utterly powerless due to despair and fear. All she possessed was a heart screaming with resentment…

Seeing Gerberly's slender and athletic figure, Ryuka suddenly pressed down on her, grabbing her neck. His already pent-up erection pressed against her firm abdomen, brazenly rubbing against the cleft of her abdominal muscles under Gerberly's fine, feminine sweat, asserting its presence!

"What? Gerberly, have you forgotten the bet we made? If you lose, you'll have to kneel down in front of me and lick me like Olivia! You can't even handle being teased a little? Hmm?"

Faced with Ryusha's mockery, Gerberi no longer wanted to refute, only spitting at him fiercely, which Ryusha easily dodged. The scalding, terrifying thing had already moved slowly from her stomach to between her legs, pressing against her already filthy vulva! Slightly spreading open, Gerberi felt as if that place had separated from her, possessing its own will, shamelessly sucking gently on Ryusha's tip, like a shameless harlot inviting the boy on top of her to enter. This body betraying its own will made Gerberi feel even more bitter and desperate; not only His Highness, but even her own body was not on her side at this moment.

Just as he was saying this, a voice suddenly echoed in Ryūka's mind, causing him to frown. However, Gerberi seemed unaware of this. After carefully listening to the report in his mind, Ryūka silently gave instructions.

"I'm leaving everything to you. Just make sure the damage is within acceptable limits."

After saying this, Ryūka glanced at Tipalottura behind her, whose face now showed only worry for Gerberi. Ryūka remained silent for a moment, not revealing the information she had just received, but simply said to her:

"Your Highness, I am ready."

Tipalotura was taken aback, then her expression darkened. She came to Gerberi's side, sat down on the edge of the bed, and took her hand. The power of order within her body slowly condensed and flowed into Gerberi's body.

This means that Tipalotura was prepared to prevent the witch's curse from taking effect the moment she lost her virginity. At the same time, it also means that Gerberi is about to be mercilessly pierced by Ryusha!

Her face instantly turned ashen, she turned her head to the side, her lips twitching slightly, her pretty face, now twisted into a pig's nose, only showing a resigned, lifeless stillness. Liu Xia snorted coldly, thinking, "I'll soon make that stinky face of yours look utterly depraved!" However, the flippancy on his face vanished, replaced by a serious expression as he spoke to Gerberly:

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not that obsessed with your body. At most, it's just something I can play with! I'm only doing this because of your master. Hmph~ If you're not happy about it, then save your life first, and try to surpass me after you survive!"

"Tsk! You don't even need to tell me! Uh ah ah ah gu oh ...

Before she could finish speaking, Liu Xia straightened his back and mercilessly penetrated Gerberly's nearly thirty-year-old purity! Instantly, he entered the incredibly slippery and tight place, as if countless well-trained little hands were gripping it tightly! All the way to the bottom!

Chapter 30 A Beastly Past

"Tsk...it's so tight..."

Upon entry, after the immense resistance came an unparalleled feeling of tightness. Ryusha grinned; Gerberi was not only a female knight but also a witch, and this double enhancement gave him a unique kind of stimulation.

As Gerberi screamed involuntarily, Tipalotura immediately focused her mind and activated the power of order flowing within her body. A warm and gentle force slowly spread out, gently enveloping Gerberi's entire body. Silently, it soothed and harmonized all the restless instincts and curses of fate belonging to the witch within her.

"Don't move yet."

Hearing Tipalotura's soft admonition, Ryuka felt a slight displeasure and subconsciously curled her lips into a slight smirk. But when she looked up and saw the princess, her haughty demeanor gone, her eyes lowered and pleading as she looked at her like a pitiful puppy, Ryuka's mood brightened, and she decided to grant her request. However, she still reached out and began to fondle Gerberi's fair and pink breasts, savoring their slightly sweaty elasticity!

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

Having escaped the onslaught of Liu Xia's fury, Gerberly's tense nerves finally had a moment to catch their breath. Her eyes widened, her pupils trembled uncontrollably, and she unconsciously bit her lower lip, drawing a thin line of blood.

She was terrified, utterly terrified, but not because of the pain of losing her virginity. More than the physical agony, a silent terror spread through her heart. She was terrified that her will would gradually crumble, that, as the curse had foretold, she would sink deeper and deeper into depravity, becoming completely dependent on Ryūka. She gripped Tipalotura's hand tightly, almost squeezing the princess's delicate palm until it ached, fearing that this only support would slip away at any moment.

"It's alright, Gerberly, it's alright..."

Tipalotura soothed with a soft whisper, continuously channeling peaceful, orderly power into the other's body. This invisible fusion of power also gave Ryusha a strange and peculiar feeling, as if a wisp of ethereal, invisible thread was causing Tipalotura's flowing orderly power to slowly flow back to her through Gerberi's body.

He could sense that the curse that bound the witch was also a kind of 'order,' which was being dismantled, reshaped, and rewritten little by little by Tipalotura using the power of order.

Previously, Ryuu's perception of spiritual power was insufficient to reach this level. Now, with his increased power, he can clearly sense that the witch's 'curse' was precisely an adjustment made by Kranar using the power of order. Tipalotura merely modified this to prevent Gerberi from succumbing.

However, the princess's actions indirectly triggered the power Bell had granted him! Uncontrollably, Ruka once again saw Gerberi's inner world, filled with her earliest memories with Tipalotura…

A dimly lit room, a dirty girl.

Her hands and feet were bound by heavy chains, and her thin body looked like a skeleton covered with a thin layer of skin.

As for clothing, it was merely a burlap sack with holes, barely covering her body. She was filthy, emitting a nauseating stench, a stark contrast to the fair, soft, and powerful skin he was now touching. Her filthy hair hung down, obscuring her emotionless eyes; besides the filth, not a trace of her usual radiant golden-brown color could be seen…

This was Gerberi in her youth, even younger than in the memories Liu Xia had glimpsed. That aura of disgust for everything in the world, like that of a wild beast, that emanated from her very bones, had already taken shape long ago, exactly the same as her proud and indifferent nature now.

"Dinner's ready..."

The heavy prison door was slowly pushed open, and a sliver of bright light pierced the darkness of the room. The sudden light startled the frail girl bound in chains, causing her to stiffen. Instant fear surged in her eyes, her teeth clenched, and a low, fierce growl, like that of a wild beast, burst from her throat.

"Gurgle... Ugh! Ugh!!!"

A menacing roar filled with vigilance and ferocity echoed through the cell, startling two smaller, more delicate figures at the door who instinctively took a half-step back.

They were also two young girls, even younger than Gerberi in the prison. One of them had short, neat hair, but her innocent face held a coldness and calmness far beyond her years; the other was timid and frightened, hiding behind the black-haired girl, curling up her small body, not even having the courage to look Gerberi in the eye.

Ryuka's gaze fell on the two small figures at the door. Even though the two were still young, he recognized the black-haired girl at a glance.

Although she will wear a mask in the future, this girl is the same witch Felicity she had met before, clad in black armor, wielding a scythe, and with a cold and taciturn nature. She was also the one who had stepped forward to take the punishment for Gerberi.

At this moment, Felicity was only five or six years old, with a petite and delicate figure, but her appearance was exceptionally striking. And the soft and timid little girl huddled behind her was also a familiar face to Ryuka.

Outside the prison cell, two guards clad in exquisite heavy armor chatted and laughed idly, their eyes unfocused, completely unaware that the cell door had been quietly pushed open. They seemed oblivious to the two young witches who had come to deliver their food, their words filled with frivolous and unrestrained arrogance.

"Hey, you know, isn't that little female beast inside almost old enough to be ready for a taste? But is she really still usable in her current state?"

"Who knows? Witches are all very precious. Even Lord Tular, a prince, only has three. Even a defective one like this that can bite its master wouldn't be wasted easily, would it?"

Nanalia… Having understood her abilities, Ryuka naturally recognized her as the umbrella witch beside Tipalotura. As for the guards' conversation, Prince Tular? He seemed to have heard of him; he was a former member of the Otus royal family, but his entire branch family perished in an accident over a decade ago.

"But she's too dangerous. Unlike those who only show their witch powers when they're adults, she could tear lions and tigers apart when she was a child. She's been locked up for who knows how many years! Will His Highness really use such a dangerous person? Not to mention she can't learn any skills and she's all dirty."

"Hmm, but I've heard that her mother was an exceptionally beautiful woman back in the day. Even when it came time to give her away for someone else to have children with, His Highness the Prince almost couldn't bear to part with her."

"Tsk tsk tsk~ I really envy those guys back then, getting to taste the flavor of a witch~"

"If you behave well, perhaps His Highness will reward you with this beast inside to sow your seed~ After all, even if His Highness doesn't use it himself, he won't let this witch's line die out, right?"

"Never mind then~ The thought of my bloodline becoming a plaything of royalty years from now makes me not so cold-blooded, hahaha~"

"Tch~ Nonsense! That's a witch. Once she's cleaned up, she'll definitely be a top-tier beauty, right? But that skinny body of hers is truly pitiful. It's unbelievable. She only eats once every three days. How does she survive? And she's so strong that even four thick iron chains can't hold her down!"

Every word of the guards' taunts reached Liu Xia's ears, each syllable dripping with chilling indifference and despicable cruelty. He silently watched the scenes of the past unfold before him, gradually piecing together the secrets of the Autus royal family.

"Bell gave me this ability so that I could learn about the witch's past?"

As Liuxia pondered in deep thought, she heard the voice of young Felicity, whose tone was still immature but surprisingly calm and mature.

"Don't worry about it, this kind of thing will never happen to us again."

Her words were clearly a soft attempt to comfort and reassure Nanalia, who was hiding behind her. Despite their young age, the two little witches seemed to possess a maturity and insight far beyond their years. Their neat and exquisite attire, like carefully cultivated young ladies from a noble family, formed a stark contrast to the filthy Gerberli in the prison.

Felicity gently took Nanalia's soft little hand and walked steadily into the cold, dark cell, carrying a tray of food, step by step, until she reached Gerberly.

Although the bowl contained leftover rice, it still emitted a faint aroma of milk and bread, along with half a roasted sausage that was still warm. Even though there were some leftover crumbs at the bottom of the plate and the appearance wasn't exactly tidy, the aroma of the food still made Gerberly swallow her saliva repeatedly.

While maintaining a fierce and wary posture to intimidate the two little ones, her eyes were fixed on the food on her plate. She looked comical and embarrassed, yet her expression concealed a deep sense of pity and sorrow. But thinking of her arrogant demeanor later on, Liu Xia couldn't help but curl her lips in a sneer.

“Even though it’s leftovers, you shouldn’t mind, right, ‘Beast’ sister?”

Young Felicity spoke softly, carefully placing the plate on the ground just within Gerberi's reach, not daring to take another step forward. The moment the plate touched the ground, a gust of wind swept past, and Gerberi immediately snatched the plate away, burying her head in it and wolfing down her food. She looked so hungry, as if she wanted to chew and swallow the entire plate along with it.

"Hey, don't break the plate, or I won't be able to sneak you food next time."

Felicity's soft reminder caused the girl, who was eating like a trapped beast, to pause slightly. Her hurried movements subconsciously slowed down, but she still gripped the porcelain plate tightly with her dirty fingertips, unwilling to let go of even a single crumb of soup at the bottom of the plate. While licking it, she kept a wary eye on Felicity and Nanalia in front of her.

"Looks like he can still understand human speech."

Felicity smiled faintly, and despite her young age, a unique and captivating charm, characteristic of a witch, already shone through her brows. She gazed quietly at Gerberi, who had suffered so much, her expression gradually becoming solemn and serious.

“If you can understand what I’m saying, then listen carefully. The ‘little bird’ is here again. The sister tells us that the days of freedom are coming. Your Highness…”

As soon as she finished speaking, the moment she heard the word "Your Highness," Gerberly trembled violently, and intense hatred and ferocity surged in her eyes. Her fierce appearance forced Felicity to unconsciously take a half step back.

“You’ve forgotten, you awakened earlier than us, inheriting the memories and knowledge passed down from your mother. It was from that time that you developed your hatred for Tular... That’s why you’ve been so aggressive since childhood, preferring to end up in this situation rather than be educated like us, by the maids…”

Felicity sighed softly, a hint of genuine sympathy flashing in her eyes, mixed with a subtle trace of envy. Sensing Gerberi's resistance and hostility, she quickly changed her form of address, trying to dispel the other's wariness and rejection.

“Your Highness… Sister You, no, you seem to be older than all of us, so perhaps I shouldn’t call you sister? Never mind…”

Felicity sighed helplessly, gently patted Nanalia's head beside her, and after confirming that there was no unusual movement outside the cell door, she turned her gaze back to Gerberi.

"Sister You, this is the princess born of that witch. She needs your power. Not all royalty will obediently hand over the witch they have. If we want freedom, we have to take action ourselves, understand?"

So that's how it is. This memory is from an earlier time when Tipalotura gathered the scattered witches of Ottus. That's why it's so important to Gerberly, right? The previous memory was her inner fear, which became the root of her witch desires, while this one is the power supporting her inner strength, awakened by Tipalotura's current power of order?

Ryuka recalled the scene she had seen before, where Tipalottura was fighting against the Hypnos royal family, but now another royal family name had appeared. It seemed that Tipalottura had done many things in her childhood that led to the person she is today, along with her witch sisters.

Chapter 31 The Re-education of Evil

"free?"

Upon hearing those two words, Gerberi stared blankly at Felicity. Her sudden words startled Nanalia behind her, who widened her eyes and said incredulously:

"He...he spoke!"

Felicity was also surprised, but remained relatively calm and nodded to Gerberly:

“That’s right. It seems you can still communicate with people. Freedom… it’s about doing whatever you want! Eating delicious food and seeing beautiful scenery! Of course, it’s not about being free in everything. We still need to help Sister You, but it’s still much better than our current life.”

Better than her current life? Gerberi blinked, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes as she looked at her two younger sisters. This surprised Ryuka quite a bit. Although she didn't know what Gerberi was thinking, she was probably pondering Felicity's words. She had originally thought that Gerberi, raised like a wild beast from childhood, would be rather dull-witted. But it seemed that she was not only wild but also possessed a wild, cunning nature.

But if Ryuka knew what was going on in her little head, she would probably find it both funny and a little heartbreaking.

Gerberly looked at the well-dressed Felicity and the other woman in front of her, then looked down at herself, pondering the meaning of 'better than the current life'.

Whatever they and that 'You' are planning to do, they will ensure that the two girls who bring them food from time to time live a better life than they do now.

Not just better than myself now, but better than them now!

Gerberli smacked her lips, licking a trace of leftover meat juice from between her teeth, savoring it slowly...

The two of them can now eat this delicious food every day.

Moreover, the fact that they gave the rest to themselves means that they don't go hungry every day, right?

So, just how good is "better than now" in their eyes?

Gerberly couldn't figure out what 'freedom' looked like. But she looked at the plate in her hand and handed it to Felicity.

“Jer...Belli”.

"Jerberly? Is that your name?"

Felicity showed a surprised expression. This simple action meant that she had gained the trust of the 'beast sister' in front of her. It was worth the risk she had taken to feed her and talk to her in silence.

Unlike the relieved Felicity, Nanalia tugged at Felicity's skirt and said with some concern:

"Sister Felicity, I'm running out of strength, I have to go. Besides, it's almost time for the maids and matrons to start their lessons..."

"Yes, those annoying 'courses,' I actually quite liked them before Sister You told us their true meaning. In the end, they were just meant to mold us into what men like, while keeping us pure, so we could be harvested when we grow up."

Felicity tossed a strand of hair behind her ear, sighed helplessly, and then bowed slightly to Gerberly.

"I understand, Sister Gerberly. The day Sister You promised will arrive soon. I will come to pick you up then, so please be prepared."

"Prepare?"

"That's right, preparations to kill our enemies and Sister Yu's enemies. If it were you, you would probably be more useful to Sister Yu than we have secretly awakened our powers."

Felicity smiled slightly, then led Nanalia away. The door closed quietly, and the room returned to darkness, leaving only Gerberi, lost in thought, and Ryusha, who was not actually there.

"I see..." Ryuka pondered quietly. It seemed that this memory was different from the previous one. In the previous memory, Tipalotura had the help of General Alvarez, while this one was earlier and more like an 'uprising' within their witches' ranks.

Tipalotura first secretly contacted Felicity and Nanalia through some means, and bypassed the restriction that powers could only be obtained after a witch's first night, allowing the two of them to obtain witch powers ahead of time.

Furthermore, they learned of Gerberi's existence through them. They then planned a rescue operation to seize the witch from Prince Tular, a member of the royal family.

In my memory, Felicity and Tipalottura looked to be about the same age, which means that Tipalottura planned all of this when she was five or six years old.

Adding to the previous memory, it seems that Tipalotura caused turmoil within the Ottus royal family for at least several years, wiping out many members of the collateral branches of the royal family. And yet, these events, which occurred only a little over a decade ago, haven't leaked out at all. It seems the royal family maintains extremely strict control over matters concerning witches…

However, since it has lasted for several years, surely we can find some clues?

Just as Ryuka was pondering, she suddenly heard a rustling sound, accompanied by low, panting breaths like those of a young animal.

"Hmm... Huff... Huff..."

It was only then that Ryusha realized that this memory was not over yet. She was still in this dark cell, with only Gerberly bound by chains beside her.

Liu Xia was all too familiar with that low, labored breathing.

No way...

Ryuka rubbed his forehead. His true form had just penetrated Gerberi's body on the bed, and his consciousness was actually peeking into her past memories of secretly masturbating.

Hey, hey, hey! Ryuka! Even if Gerberi is annoying now, she's still too naive!

However... it seems that I also tasted forbidden fruit with Kania a long time ago. Is it really necessary to avoid suspicion?

After a brief struggle with her inner moral condemnation, Ryuka immediately cast aside her psychological burden and openly stared at Gerberly.

What is life like being kept in a prison cell? Ryusha couldn't imagine. He looked at Gerberly, who was curled up on the floor, her legs clamping around an iron chain, gently swaying her hips. Although it looked quite strenuous, Gerberly continued tirelessly, after all, in this darkness, apart from her own touch, she seemed to receive no other external feedback.

The guards fed her once a day, each time providing only a piece of dry bread and a can of water, placed at the far end of Gerberi's area. Felicity and the others would only come every two or three days, briefly exchanging a few words with her and telling her to trust that Prince Tipalotura would come to save them. Aside from that, Gerberi's life consisted only of darkness and waiting, occasionally hearing the guards' mocking laughter outside, waiting for the so-called day of 'growing up and maturing,' when her witch bloodline would be forcibly continued.

Hiding in the darkness to generate electricity seems to be the only pleasure in her life, truly like a wild beast.
