Bella had only spent one night inside the palace located within Macnadix City, the Manasvir Empire’s capital, before returning to the Olsylvia Academy with the other girls the next day. Although she was tempted to stay another few days, the academy was relentless in urging everyone to return. After all, a student’s first priority should be their studies. Bella had no choice but to bite her tongue and return to the academy for now.
In terms of politics, the Manasvir Empire was a lot more stable than before, as Bella had gained control of three out of the four warlords. After the western warlord, Prince Bilberg, was defeated, his heir had perished, and his remaining sons began to fight tooth and nail for the title. Dragon Knight Martha, who had defected to Bella’s side, had chosen to do nothing and ignore their melee. At the moment, the west was peaceful.
Bella had already taken advantage of Miss Maschuter, the heir of Grand Duke Yale from the south. This meant that she would not say anything about it at all. Even if Grand Duke Yale’s subordinates had any intention to rebel, they could not risk doing anything openly if their superiors did not say a word and had no choice but to remain silent. Miss Louise, the daughter of Marshal Edwin from the east, had already established a secret relationship with Bella. It took some convincing and coaxing, but Marshal Edwin soon dismissed any thoughts of rebelling from the east.
The person who was the most frustrated about the situation was probably Prince Ernest. He was supposed to be the heir apparent to the throne after Emperor Manas the Eighteenth had passed away. However, he did not expect that the Octavia Empire in the north that had been supporting him all these while, also known as the Nation of Knights, would abandon him and his cause right before he achieved his political agenda. Then, his claim to the throne was contested by a Princess Manasviel, who had mysteriously appeared out of nowhere. Even this worst-case scenario had happened to him, and it was a miracle that he did not die of anger.
Since the other three warlords did not make any moves, Prince Ernest had no choice but to keep his unhappiness to himself. Without the support and backing of the Octavia Empire, it was highly unlikely that he would be able to invade the imperial city with just over one million soldiers. Right now, he could only pretend that nothing had happened, just like the other warlords. They would observe the situation and wait for Empress Manya Felan to announce her new policies to determine the new reign’s attitudes towards the warlords. Then, they would decide how to proceed.
When Bella left the palace, she had created some loopholes for herself. Other than instructing her seventy-two newly acquired beautiful female experts to act as palace guards, she had also arranged for Thunder Dragon Queen Geleman, Emerald Demonic Dragon Princess Bess, Gem Dragon Queen Lolifel, and Crystal Dragon Princess Purple Crystal to guard the palace. When needed, Bella would use their contract magic to summon them. Otherwise, they would be stationed at Macnadix City, the capital of the Manasvir Empire.
With four Demonic Dragon queens and princesses looking after the city, in addition to the Massive Guardian Machines that did not cost a thing, the city’s defenses had far exceeded any other empire’s capital. Even God-level entities would have problems defeating four Demonic Dragons, let alone Dragon Knights. Bella had already found a replacement for Princess Manasviel’s surrogate. She just needed a few more “tweaks” before Bella could send her out there. Once the fake Princess Manasviel was in place, everything would finally be settled.
Other than Empress Manya Felan, the other princesses of the Manasvir Empire had also come to send the girls off. They were all dressed to the nines and were in their formal princess gowns. However, they had chosen bold designs that revealed their shoulders. When they saw Bella, the princesses all turned slightly pink and turned away quietly in embarrassment.
Bella had gone a little crazy the night before, and they were still shaken up by it. After playing with Empress Manya Felan until she was utterly exhausted, in a perverse fashion, Bella had used her as a special “mattress”. One by one, she held each princess in her arms and took advantage of them while Empress Manya Felan lay under them. The princesses of the Manasvir Empire, who were “sandwiched” on both sides, quickly caved to the sensations and revealed their true nature. It did not take long before they completely disregarded their status as princesses and joined Bella in her debauchery.
Once she had her fun with everyone, Bella pushed all the princesses on the large bed for cuddles. The princesses were so aroused that they did not care who was wrapped in their arms. It did not matter if it was their older or younger sister. They were merely satisfied by the fact that they were holding a body with soft white skin and were doing all sorts of happy things. The immorality of an empress and the various princesses doing strange naughty things to each other was so irresistible. Every single one of them indulged in those acts to the point of no return.
Now, it was natural that the princesses would feel a little embarrassed after seeing Bella again. After all, that beautiful blonde had seen their most wanton and crazy side. Although they were now fully clothed, in Bella’s eyes, it was almost as though the princesses were not wearing anything at all. Last night, she had seen, touched, and even kissed every inch of their bodies. They had no secrets in front of Bella anymore.
Keeping a straight face, Bella bade farewell to each princess and Empress Manya Felan. When she shook their hands, Bella purposely gave their hands an extra squeeze and even copped a feel or two. Although the princesses and the Empress were all flushed red, they did not dare to make a sound as Bella took advantage of them.
“Manya Felan, I will be returning to the academy. When I have the time, I will either teleport to your side or summon you for a rendezvous. Therefore, from now on, you will have to wear strappy undergarments to bed. This will make it much easier to take them off.”
“Bella, you… I understand. Since we are in public, could you leave me with a little dignity? I will do as you say when I return.”
“Alright then. However, I have another request. You have to sleep with any princess of your choice every night. That princess would have to wear the same undergarments as well. By then, I can have both…”
Empress Manya Felan was helpless as Bella continued to pressure her. In the end, she had no choice but to agree to every single one of her “erotic” requests. She did not dare to admit that at this point, her body was already reacting to the requests of weird “erotic games”. Maybe Bella was right when she said that she was not straight. A long time ago, Empress Manya Felan was indeed straight. Now, though, she had taken a turn.
After Empress Manya Felan had agreed to wear all sorts of unique outfits, Bella finally let her go, for now. While the others were not paying attention, she had snuck a few secret kisses with the beautiful Empress under the guise of hugging her goodbye. The princesses closest to her all pretended that they did not see anything. In fact, they almost moved involuntarily out of instinct to cover for Bella, blocking her from the others.
The night before, Bella, the Manasvir Empire’s princesses, and Empress Manya Felan had already done all sorts of forbidden things to each other. Now, actions like kisses on the cheek were inconsequential in comparison. Helplessly, Manya Felan accepted Bella’s kisses. From the moment she met her, Manya Felan had been bullied to the point where there was no room for resistance at all. It seemed like this was fate. Since she could not resist, she might as well submit. Other than having a weird penchant for pretty girls, there seemed to be nothing wrong with Bella.
“Bella, you, the Empress, and my other royal sisters… last night… What happened between you guys last night? Why did they all have a strange expression on their face when they saw you?”
“Hey, Senior Isaman, don’t accuse me like this. I’m a good person. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the Empress or your other royal sisters. By the way, my little slave, when we return, you have to hold up your end of the bargain!”
“Well… we’re not back school yet, right? Bella, you don’t have to be in such a rush. Do I look like the kind of person who would go back on my word?”
Realizing that something was amiss, Priest Isaman wanted to confront Bella about why she had stayed out all night. She did not expect that Bella would use the bet against her. Now, Isaman was in no position to ask about what strange things had happened between the other princesses. She could barely protect herself now, and she had much more to worry about than others’ safety.
In her dark form, the Priest Isaman was much bolder. At least, Bella would not scare her that easily. Ever since Bella had defeated her, Isaman’s previous sass was completely gone. She was one big step closer to getting pinned down. Unless Isaman’s original dark form suddenly appeared to stop things at the crucial moment, it would be a matter of time before the inevitable happened.
The newly built Elven Tavern within the original Benedict Manor at the Filomena Nobility Academy, the northern campus of the Olsylvia Academy. The returned students were already starting to get busy. According to the traditions of the Olsylvia Academy, the academy would hold a large scale event for the students to relax—the Olsylvia Academy’s Summer School Festival.
The Olsylvia Academy’s school festival had more than a decade’s worth of history. The first festival was actually suggested by Empress Manya Felan, who was an interdimensional traveler. The Empress then sponsored and directed the entire festival. This was technically one of Earth’s cultural traditions. Bella was not sure if this could be considered to be cross-dimensional “cultural appropriation”. Nevertheless, since the first-ever festival’s success, its popularity soon swept through the other academies in the Human territory.
Now, after more than ten years of development, the school festivals here were comparable to the “original” ones on Earth. There were two types of festivals: the Summer Festival and the Winter Festival. The former was to commemorate the arrival of summer while the latter was to celebrate winter. Each academy would hold its own small-scale festivals, and the Grand School Festival was organized with the combined efforts of all twelve Human academies.
Traditionally, the combined activities of the Summer School Festival would be held in the largest seaport city within the Aldridge Empire during the twelve academies’ battle period. That city had endless beaches and was filled with swimsuit-wearing eye candy. Bella planned to take the opportunity to promote her own brand of bikini swimwear and expand her business throughout the twelve academies.
As for the winter festival activities, they were traditionally held in the coldest regions in the Octavia Empire’s snowy cities in the northern part of the Human Continent. This would be held during the academies’ skills exchange period. Since it was the homeland of Princess Felia, Bella’s surrogate, there was no way she would miss that opportunity.
Furthermore, there would be plenty of eye candy during the winter festival as well. The largest natural hot spring in the Human Continent was located in the city, and there were various celebrations similar to Christmas. Bella, the experienced “domme”, had plans to promote her bath towels and to put more of her own designs on the pretty girls. She had been seeking that sense of satisfaction for a very long time.
Initially, Empress Manya Felan had thought about introducing a Spring Festival and an Autumn Festival. The activities would be held at the Gabriel Empire in the south that enjoyed Spring weather all year round and the Kristoff Empire in the west, which had snowless winters. Unfortunately, the incident with the Emperor more than a decade ago had disrupted Empress Manya Felan’s plans. This meant that the commencement of the Spring and Autumn Festivals had to be postponed indefinitely.
At this point, the Manasvir Empire’s political climate was not fully stable yet. In the north, Prince Ernest was still unhappy about his defeat and had not given up his desire to usurp the throne. With this unstable factor, it seemed like it would be some time before the Spring and Autumn Festivals could be held. However, two school festivals were enough for now. To be honest, the activities organized at the Gabriel Empire and the Kristoff Empire were not as fun as the other two as they did not have many places of interest.
Bella snapped out of her memories. Right now, she was seated on the second floor of the new Elven Tavern, preparing to enjoy some fine wine. The Rose Society would definitely participate if there was a school festival. Like the other societies, the Rose Society planned to organize its own themed activities, such as setting up a food stall. This was similar to the school festivals from the comics on Earth.
The main event was the Grand School Festival, which would be held at the beach. At the request of her friends from the Rose Society, her little sister Lisha and Princess Kriss, Bella was now experimenting and preparing a delicious menu for the Rose Society to use during the festival, as she was the idlest one in the society. After obtaining the surrogate puppets from the “pseudo-loli” Charlotte, she simply summoned two of them and sent them off to school as Dragon Knight Grand Duchess Bellina and Dragon Mage Grand Duchess Baize. Now, the real Bella would have all the time in the world to skive off and do her own things at leisure.
The new Elven Tavern was named “Charming Moon”, and it was jointly run by the beautiful female Moon Elves of the Moonlight Society and the pretty girls from the Rose Society. Since this was just a soft opening, they did not do much promotion, and their main clientele were all females. Bella had purposely designed this trial period to be females-only. For those male “doms” who had thought of coming by to admire the pretty Elven girls, they had no choice but to stare longingly from afar as their girlfriends strolled into “Charming Moon”.
By now, no one in their right mind would dare to create trouble for Bella. Ever since the finals of the competition when she had unintentionally let slip that the Thunder Dragon Queen Geleman was her steed, the number of people who would dare to disrespect her decreased by ninety percent. Her abilities as a Dragon Knight aside, the Thunder Dragon’s imposing presence was way above the other students’ Dragon steeds. If they were to still go up against Dragon Knight Grand Duchess Bellina, wouldn’t it mean they had a death wish?
Those who treated Bella with animosity had decreased as well. Even the Golden Legend Society and the Mask of Darkness Society had been relatively quiet. Recently, they were beginning to advocate for peace between societies by proposing that the larger societies should go through peaceful negotiations to reallocate their areas of influence instead of using violence. It was not clear if this was a show of deference towards Bella, so she was still observing the situation.
It made sense that the boys would feel some regret. After all, other than the Moon Elves, “Charming Moon” also had waitresses from the Dark Elves and the Flower Fairy Tribes. Instead of wearing the conservative Alessandra Academy’s free uniform, they were dressed in incredibly sexy, specially made uniforms. According to some reviews from the girls who were fortunate enough to visit the place, those exotic waitresses were definitely gorgeous, and their uniforms were extremely unique. Even as females, they were filled with envy.
As classes were in session, “Charming Moon” did not have many customers. Once in a while, there would be one or two “delinquent girls” who had skipped class. Those girls would usually enjoy themselves in a quiet, secluded corner of the restaurant on the first floor. After all, they were playing truant and needed to keep a low profile. The beautiful Dragon Knight Ingrid and some of the other female teachers were regulars here. It would be too awkward if they bumped into their teachers.
Bella was currently experimenting with various delicious cocktails in a relatively secret room on the second floor. Behind Bella, Fallen Love Goddess Mable was restrained tightly and suspended with red ribbons, supporting herself on just one leg with her arm bound above her head. She was slightly damp as a sheen of fragrant sweat had formed on her body, her face red with exertion as Mable tried to struggle against her restraints to no avail. She was completely naked and had a little red metal ball gag in her mouth.
Fallen Love Goddess Mable was “sandwiched” in between a blue-haired beauty and a black-haired loli. They were completely naked as well, while their soft tongues licked at the Love Goddess’s body. Earlier on, Fallen Love Goddess Mable had been “cleansed” so well by the Holy Maidens that her body had become extremely sensitive. Right now, the ones playing with her were her partners back in the day, the Second Generation Gods—Death Goddess Maureen and Water Goddess Selma. These two goddesses had already submitted to the Demon King Bella.
As fellow Goddesses, Death Goddess Maureen and Water Goddess Selma knew the sensitive spots on Love Goddess Mable’s body. In fact, they knew better than even Bella. Through their combined efforts, Fallen Love Goddess Mable’s previous strong-willed determination crumbled. The strange expressions that eluded Mable when the Holy Maidens were having their fun with her soon appeared on her face.
The expressions on Fallen Love Goddess Mable’s face could not be faked. After all, her true nature had been teased right out of her. Bella had not even touched her, yet Mable’s face and body were already contorted with pleasure. Later, Bella only needed to clean up the loose ends. At the moment, as Bella did not have time to deal with Fallen Love Goddess Mable, she simply put her to play. Once Mable had fully submitted, she planned to send her to act as Princess Manasviel.
“Noesha, you’re here. About that…”
“It’s fine, Older Sister Bella. About accidentally injuring the Netherworld Creator, that matter has been…”
