In the Antoinette Academy’s central dormitory area, at Princess Aslan’s private villa, the Abyss Demonic Being “Dark Devourer,” summoned by Sacred Demon God Samantha, was currently on a killing rampage. After receiving Bella’s order, it began executing everything foreign in the villa. Bella’s preferences had already been known by this demonic being after the summoning contract was completed. As long as he didn’t kill any humans who were the same gender as his master, he could do whatever he wanted.
The “Dark Devourer” split into countless copies and roamed the villa without obstruction. On the other hand, Bella was busy collecting her war trophies at the side and was just about to check if anything strange was happening at Princess Aslan’s side. Princess Aslan’s battle maid group was completely wiped out, except for Bella, who was acting as the fake battle maid. The battle maids protecting this place were the first to be dispatched. When Princess Aslan capriciously ordered her battle maids to look for precious tea, they were separated to look for it, making it easy to pick them up one by one.
Princess Aslan’s group of battle maids wasn’t weak, to say the least. They were on the same level as Empress Manya Felan’s battle maids. If not for their master’s order that separated them, they wouldn’t have been wiped out so easily. Bella tidied up her black and white maid outfit and walked out from the flowers as if nothing had happened. She secretly observed the villas of the other girls adjacent to Princess Aslan’s villa and found unusual scents in all of them.
Bella didn’t want to care about it anymore, but there were too many unusual scents here. The sharp internal conflicts between the Antoinette Academy’s rich students led to long periods of hostility within the academy. With time, such energies would morph into evil spirits. If used by people with ulterior motives, these evil spirits would become the best medium to summon demonic beings.
The four major evil organizations of the human underworld would not extend their evil hands to the academy. Someone else was behind the anomalies happening within Antoinette Academy. Bella walked back to the third floor’s pent room of the villa, Princess Aslan’s bedroom. If the other party weren’t actively seeking death, Bella wouldn’t want to take the initiative to make a move. Her current mission was to investigate the Alessandra Academy, but not to participate in the chaotic war between the various forces in the Antoinette Academy.
Bella didn’t want to cause any trouble, but the person behind the scenes still wanted to seek death and was in one of the villas opposite Princess Aslan’s villa. This place was already under the control of evil organizations. There were a dozen Evil Spirit Curse Masters gathered in that villa. The Evil Spirit Curse Masters were a branch of Necromancers. Other than the techniques common to Necromancers, they could also perform some forbidden magic.
As early as a thousand years ago, since they did not accept the management of human professional unions, the Evil Spirit Curse Masters privately carried out various brutal and inhumane experiments, causing public outrage in the end and were destroyed by the combined armies of the Radiant Church in various empires. The Evil Spirit Curse Masters, which were designated as a “cult,” had not given up the idea of revenge and were causing trouble all these years; they were an organization that was openly seeking death.
“What? Princess Aslan’s kidnapping plan failed?”
“No, we haven’t received any signal of failure yet. It’s just that we lost contact with all the people we planted there.”
“That can’t be. We’re well-prepared. Quickly send that guy in there. If we can’t catch her, make Princess Aslan disappear forever. At the very least, that will disrupt order at the central campus area. The more chaotic it is, the better it will be for our plan.”
Bella had no idea that the other side was preparing to send more cannon fodders to their deaths. She came to Princess Aslan’s room again, and as soon as she came in, she saw Princess Aslan looking at her a little angrily. It turned out that Bella had been gone for too long as Princess Aslan was starting to grow restless from waiting. It was strange today. Usually, a battle maid would appear as soon as she lifted her hand, but not a single one appeared today as if they had arranged some sort of collective strike.
“Bella, what took you so long to get here?! If you had come any later... If you had come any later, I would’ve deducted your salary!”
“Is that so? Then I better resign, Princess Aslan! Some of the students from the Olsylvia Academy can offer even more than you!”
“Wha... Wait, don’t go, Bella! We can talk about it!”
Bella pretended to turn around and leave, making Princess Aslan anxious. The battle maids by her side had all disappeared all of a sudden. If Bella had gone too, nobody would be here to help her. Due to her anxiety, Princess Aslan didn’t care about any master-servant etiquette anymore and just came forward to pull Bella’s arm.
There was a soft and pliable touch on Bella’s arm. It was Princess Aslan’s chest. She was really packing quite a lot there. Bella made a slight calculation. Among the beautiful maidens she had come in contact with, nobody had a chest that could compare to Princess Aslan. The only ones who could compare were the beauties from other races such as Demon Princess Dolores as well as the older sister type beauty mentors like Beauty Dragon Knight Ingrid. Just the thought of her being Carlos’ fiancee made Bella very unhappy. She felt that it was a waste to give her to that Carlos guy.
“Alright, I’ll stay for now. Princess Aslan, do you need to prepare anything? If not, then hurry and get ready. Don’t you still have to visit the others at the academy next door?”
“Yeah. Bella, come over and help me for a bit. I can’t change out of this by myself.”
Princess Aslan’s chambers weren’t that fancy. It was just a simple room painted in pink. A lot of different clothes had already been laid out on the large bed in the room. Bella could spot some of the new lingerie she designed from a distance. It turned out that even though Princess Aslan didn’t interact with the other princesses, her sisters, Princess Eveny and Princess Effie, had already been “pushed down” by Bella, after which they had become Bella’s “new fashion clients” just like the others.
Aslan saw them wearing the new lingerie by chance and thought they looked great, so she secretly sent her maid to buy them. Bella looked at the clothes on the bed, then at Princess Aslan’s body, and almost let out a smile. Princess Aslan’s chest was clearly much larger than her two sister princesses; these hardly fit her, so only God knew how she could put them on.
Princess Aslan didn’t suspect Bella. Without much vigilance, she stripped out of her uniform in front of Bella. Usually, she would only change her clothes after arranging for at least three battle maids who did not know each other to be present. This arrangement was made to ensure no traitors or other dangerous characters were among the battle maids. However, only Bella was present today. If Bella were a bad person, then Princess Aslan would be done for.
Bella stepped forward and carefully helped Princess Aslan remove her clothes. For Bella, who had long been used to undressing pretty girls, this kind of thing wasn’t hard to do. If Bella wanted to, she could strip Princess Aslan quite easily, but the process of quietly watching a beautiful girl remove the fabric from her body one piece after the other was also a rare experience.
Unaware of Bella’s quirk, she had already taken all her clothes off. Bella did not help her remove the pair of white stockings on her legs on purpose. A beauty without a single thread covering her body with only a pair of snow-white stockings was left behind. This new and special type of beauty made Bella’s heart tingle with joy.
Just as Bella was about to tease Princess Aslan with strange toys, a huge figure pounced through the window. The powerful current created when the window was broken instantly sent Princess Aslan flying to the side. Bella stretched out her hand and took Princess Aslan into her arms. Princess Aslan’s chest was truly too large. The instant Bella caught her, she experienced how it felt to be hit by those globes and was nearly knocked to the ground.
“Princess Aslan, You might need to lose some weight here.”
“Here? Seriously, Bella, how do you lose weight here... Ah, I... I have no strength.”
When Bella was ambushed earlier, the black mist sprayed on her body was actually a special potion. As a Demon God, she was immune to such attacks. The problem was that the black and white maid outfit she was wearing was stained with that drug’s residues. “Jumping into her arms” in such a naked state, Princess Aslan’s skin came in direct contact with the drug as she was indirectly affected.
When she saw Princess Aslan lying in her arms without any energy in her body and with a look of embarrassment on her face, Bella wanted to bully her. However, Princess Aslan taking the initiative to “jump into the trap” herself didn’t make Bella feel accomplished at all. Right now, Princess Aslan’s face was filled with fear. A mage who had suddenly lost their magic was no stronger than an ordinary person.
Bella knew the demonic being who ambushed her. It was in the shape of a golden lion with a poisonous sting on its tail, similar to a scorpion. It was one of the three mutated beasts that Bella had defeated in Sky Jungle Veblen, the Golden Manticore. The Golden Manticore’s face was still covered in clear scars. The damage left by Bella’s punch was still there from the last time they fought.
“It’s you again, you damn manticore? Every time I’m trying to lure... No, every time I try to flirt with a girl, you appear!”
If Bella didn’t unleash her killing intent, this mutated Holy Beast, Golden Manticore, wouldn’t be able to see that Bella was an even more terrifying Demon God than that violent Demon King last time. When it saw Bella’s black and white alternating maid outfit and Princess Aslan, who was completely naked and weak in her arms, the Golden Manticore was extremely confident in itself. It quickly pounced over as its stinger shot over before its body could arrive.
After being punched in the face by Bella last time, the Golden Manticore learned its mistake. To prevent being hit in the face suddenly again, it chose to use its poisonous stinger to attack directly. Unfortunately, it bumped into Bella, who was in her Demon God state this time and was even more ridiculous than her Demon King form. Its sting attack struck an invisible barrier and couldn’t advance further.
Bella held Princess Aslan’s petite and fair body in her arms, slightly extending her hand and pointing it at the head of the Golden Manticore. A small black ball of energy similar to the size of a marble appeared between her fingers as she gave it a light flick. The black energy ball shot out like a bullet, instantly blasting the head of the Golden Manticore.
This S-rank mutant beast could not even see how it died and had its head blown off with a flick of the Demon God’s fingers, turning its head into a spray of bloody mist. This super attack was an “attack” commonly used by Demon Gods, but to them, this was just a low-level technique. However, if Bella didn’t control her strength, the black ball of energy could blow up the entirety of the Antoinette Academy’s campus.
After its head was blown off, the Golden Manticore’s body was also sent flying by the huge impact. Bella heard a scream downstairs, and when she carried Princess Aslan to the window, she saw someone lying on the grass downstairs. The Evil Spirit Curse Master, who summoned the S-rank Mutant Holy Beast, was completely black-faced. He was crushed to death by the Golden Manticore that he had summoned himself.
There was no other way for Bella to express her gratitude towards this gentleman who “supported” her with his own life other than paying him a silent tribute in her heart. Princess Aslan, who was in Bella’s arms, was trembling all over. Earlier, when Bella attacked the Golden Manticore, the enormous magic power behind her finger attack was felt by her as an experienced mage. That wasn’t the magic power a human could have. Concentrating a powerful forbidden magic level spell into such a small point, even the naturally magic proficient elves could not do it, much less a human whose magical talent was accumulated through acquired talent.
Apart from the God Race that had already become legends, only an existence at the level of Demon King or above could achieve that. Princess Aslan had accidentally fallen into the hands of a Demon King. With years of negative propaganda from the Radiant Church, the Demon King’s image had turned similar to that of cannibals. They were told that they liked to torture and kill their prisoners of war. Princess Aslan was affected by those rumors and instinctively feared that Bella would torture her.
If it weren’t for the fact that Bella looked like a girl, Princess Aslan might have fainted out of shock. The people had no idea that the Radiant Church’s heir, Four Holy Maidens, Holy Swordswomen, and a large number of high-level members of the Radiant Church had long fallen to Bella’s side, the Demon King that the Radiant Church said killed indiscriminately. All of the propaganda relating to the Demon King was just like the “false advertising” of the current era.
“What’s wrong, Your Highness? What are you afraid of?”
“No... Nothing. Can you put me down, Bella?”
“No. You’ve already found out my secret, so I can only...”
“I don’t know anything, Bella! Really!”
You couldn’t hear the mood change in Bella’s tone, which made Princess Aslan panic even more. She didn’t even have the strength to resist right now. Bella wasn’t going to kill her, right? Bella carried Princess Aslan to the bed and carefully removed her snow-white stockings. Then, she bound her legs separately with each stocking and tied her hands to her back after she was done.
“Princess Aslan, I was originally just going to borrow a set of uniform from you, but since you’ve found out my identity, I can only...”
“Please don’t eat me, Lord Demon King! I’m very skinny, I don’t have any meat... You should find...”
Princess Aslan tried to dissuade her with a look of embarrassment. However, the unusually full mounds in front of her chest clearly weren’t very convincing. Bella didn’t say anything and gently caressed Princess Aslan’s fair, delicate body with both hands. Bella, in her Demon God state, had mysterious powers in her hands. When she touched the body of a beautiful maiden, she could make the other party feel a strange stimulation. This was a trick every World Destructor Demon God and Evil God knew. The only reason Bella never used it was because she never noticed it all this time.
Princess Aslan’s face was getting redder and redder. Bella’s touch was simply toxic. Every time she caressed her gently, Princess Aslan would feel like she was getting electrocuted all over. Being touched by a girl to the point that she was losing her mind, Princess Aslan naturally did not dare to admit such a shameful thing as a noble princess. She wanted to ask Bella to stop, but she hesitated when the words reached her mouth.
“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I don’t have much time, so I’ll let you go, for now, Princess Aslan. But don’t think you can get away from me next time. Remember, I can help you deal with your marriage contract. Now, let me ask you a question. Can you give up the marriage contract that the empire arranged for you?”
Princess Aslan blushed. Bella was pinching the alluring “red grapes” in front of her chest when she asked her that question, as she used quite a bit of strength too. Princess Aslan seriously wondered. If she said no, would Bella just “pop” them directly? After all, Princess Aslan didn’t have any feelings for Carlos. After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Princess Aslan made the wisest choice. She chose to give up on the marriage contract. Bella was a Demon King. If it were her, she should be able to get her out of this tricky arrangement.
“I understand. I’ll follow everything you say, Bella.”
“Alright, let’s sign the contract now. You’ll be my follower from now on!”
“Huh? This...”
Princess Aslan, who was just planning to fool her for now, did not expect Bella to have the contract ready. An existence at the level of a Demon King had the ability to choose other non-demon races to become their followers. Humans were easy to control because of the many dark sides in their hearts, so they were frequent candidates chosen by the Demon Kings.
There was a difference between the contract of a Demon God and a Demon King. A Demon King could establish a contract with humans through a “Kiss of Vows,” but not the Demon Gods. This was because the power of a Demon God was too terrifying. A pure human kissing a Demon God was like an act of death. One of the reasons Bella didn’t like using her original form, Sacred Demon God Samantha, to push girls down was this. Only high-level existences could kiss a Demon God. Even the goddesses of this dimension could not withstand the “deadly kiss” of a Demon God, much less an average human beauty.
Just to be on the safe side, Bella had to give up using her original body and instead “push down” other girls with her surrogate, Princess Felia. Bella tried to establish a contract with Princess Aslan because she wanted to try whether she could establish a “special” relationship with a normal human beauty with her original Demon God body.
“Aslan, I’ll leave if you’re unwilling, so just stay...”
“Don’t go, Bella. I’m scared alone. I’m willing...”
