Demon Sword Maiden

However, Lily’s statement implied that she’d willingly degrade herself for any other woman but absolutely never for her. For a supreme powerhouse with an immense ego like the Imperial Princess, this was an unbearable insult.

“You insolent b̲i̲t̲c̲h̲!” Her explosive fury shook the entirety of Hekiraku City. She violently seized Lily’s arm and twisted it backward with brutal force, almost dislocating it from her shoulder.

Lily cried out sharply in agony, her scream piercing through the room.

“Keep screaming! Even your cries of pain sound indecent and alluring! I adore hearing you scream like this—keep going!”

The Imperial Princess forcefully pressed Lily’s head downward, causing her upper body to bend forward, exposing her buttocks. She firmly gripped Lily’s waist and lifted her skirt, ready to remove the last thin layer that concealed her bare skin. Yet, realizing how inconvenient it would be for herself and her subordinates to replace the seal, she decided to leave the thin rope intact—it wouldn’t interfere significantly with the punishment she planned to administer anyway.

Thus, the Imperial Princess gripped the thin rope tightly with one hand, channeling divine energy into her other palm as she delivered fierce, resounding slaps upon Lily’s exposed buttocks, each strike echoing painfully through Lily’s body.

“You vile b̲i̲t̲c̲h̲! How dare you utter such treacherous words before our marriage! Your audacity is unforgivable—I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!”

Outside the room, two Dark Celestial Maidens standing guard soon heard Lily’s tragic yet strangely captivating cries.

“Hah… that Kagami Lily. Her Highness clearly cherishes her deeply, yet she’s too blind to see it. She truly deserves this punishment!”

“Exactly! A shameless woman like her needs this kind of treatment. She spends her days seducing Her Highness, making her neglect all other women. Even after receiving so much affection, this is how she behaves? She deserves every strike—more punishment is even better!”

“Do you think she’ll finally become obedient after today?”

“Of course. Women like her simply require strict discipline—the harsher the punishment, the more obedient they’ll become!” The two Dark Celestial Maidens mocked gleefully, thoroughly enjoying Lily’s agonized screams from within.

After enduring the relentless punishment for an unknown duration, Lily eventually lost consciousness.

Nobody knew exactly when the Imperial Princess departed. This was the first time Lily had ever passed out due to physical punishment. Not even in her fiercest life-and-death battles had something like this occurred before.

What’s more, the one responsible for her humiliation was another woman. This realization plunged Lily deeper into despair. How could she possibly escape from the Imperial Princess’ iron grasp on her own? Her chances now seemed increasingly slim.

Would she really be forced to submit to someone who treated her so cruelly? Would she either perish here or surrender her purity to this malicious woman who had drugged her?

No! It couldn’t be! She didn’t want that—absolutely not…

When Lily finally awakened, her expression was vacant. She lay on the cold ground, her cheeks flushed deeply as she gasped for breath, tears flowing uncontrollably down her pale face.

Lily wasn’t afraid of pain.Nor was she afraid of suffering. Yet what Lily truly feared was losing her sanity under this brutal torment. The potency of the Fragrance-Breaker Pill coursing through her body had now reached its peak. This moment was undoubtedly when Lily’s desire had climbed to its absolute pinnacle.

Her body felt exactly like a flower yearning desperately to bloom, yet her heart remained frozen and ached bitterly.

She slowly lifted her head, strands of her disheveled hair clinging to her parted lips. Her captivating eyes brimmed with immeasurable sorrow.

“Am I truly going to lose everything here? No… No… I don’t want this… Sister Uesugi, Sister Shimizu, Sister Ayaka… Where are you all? Somebody… anyone… please help me…”

Engulfed by despair, Lily had somehow reached the ninth day, utterly alone within the deepest depths of this endless abyss, a place without distinction between day and night.

A chilling breeze suddenly flowed through the open window, brushing against her weary skin. With great effort, Lily managed to sit up, leaning weakly against the cold wall as her ample chest rose and fell heavily.

On this day, Lily ceased all attempts at training. Her eyes appeared calm yet shimmered with unshed tears.
