Celestine's jail was certainly not the worst that was given to her. It was an average room of average size. The bed was small and wasn't the glorious queen-sized bed that Celestine slept in, but beggers can't be choosers. There was also a small dining table, accompanied by two chairs. There was a small window overlooking the rest of the town, from the top floor of the jail.
Celestine sat quietly on her bed as she contemplated her situation. Her toga was replaced with a very modest white dress, covering her entire body. Though it failed to hide her voluptuous body, it was a step in the right direction. She was mostly fascinated by apparent self-control these men had. Their moral code surpassing any carnal desire. These men were certainly interesting, and the kingdom of Thore had not been abused like she anticipated.
Celestine was thoroughly impressed by the zeal shown by these so-called "Crusaders". Not even Celestine's forces fought with such fervor to their lord. She could see in the eyes of the soldiers, their conviction, their determination to serve their beloved God. Even the hungry, lustful eyes of the Black Dogs could not compare to the look on the Crusaders' faces, a look of tenacity and willpower. It was something that would shake this world for sure.
Her thoughts are interrupted as the door opens, revealing Haru at the doorway.
Haru was a tall man, towering over most men and women. His Scandinavian ancestry has lent itself to boosting his height, but not to gargantuan proportions. He had smooth, combed golden hair that barely reached down his neck. His face was shaved and could be considered to be quite dashing, if it wasn't for it being blemished by the numerous scars that lay on it.
The Duke then gives her a nod.
"Milady."
Celestine gave the Duke a friendly nod as he pulled up a chair.
"So how is your stay so far?" Haru asked gently.
"Not that bad, all things considered. Your men were very fair in their treatment."
"You are a political prisoner, no harm shall come to you until we decide your fate. And though it was a hard choice to make, we decided to let you live."
Celestine was shocked that they even considered executing her.
"You were planning to kill me?" Celestine asked in horror. "But what did I do?"
"Claiming godhood is a major offense under Church law. You will be named a heretic and blasphemer and be burned on the stake. Though we worried that killing you would incite outrage within the public"
Celestine was shocked that these men were going to use such horribly slow and barbaric means to kill her.
"B-But I am—"
"Stow it." Haru said curtly, silencing Celestine. "I won't believe a word you say. You're lucky that I am being patient with you."
"B-But I can prove that I am a—"
"Like I said, stow it. We are aware of your divination powers, and you should be lucky that we aren't accusing you of sorcery. Now let's get down to business."
Celestine was hurt by the man's bluntness. He gave no consideration, and had little interest in her godhood. It was as if he treated her like something that could be cast aside. Like he was above her. She dejectedly accepts the change of topic.
"There is just one thing I need to know Madam Celestine. With your divination powers, tell me, who among the populace is likely to betray us?"
"M-More than I can count milord." Celestine shakily answered. "Corruption in this world are motivated by lust and if they see a chance to indulge in their desires…"
"Okay, okay. Thank you so much for your help milady." Haru thanked as he stood up.
As Haru stood up, Celestine could hear the sound of chains. She hears the noise come from Haru. It took her a moment to realize what was going to happen before he suddenly pins her to the bed.
"D-Haru! What are you doing?"
"I'm so sorry." Haru said solemnly as he forcefully made her lie on the bed.
Celestine was helpless as she was chained to the bed, on all her limbs, attached to the bed, leaving her completely immobilized. Celestine was even more scared as her body trembled in fear.
"Milord… What are you—"
"Just sleep…" Haru said as he put a cloth over Celestine's nose and mouth, knocking her out.
Haru stood over Celestine's body as he got ready to do what he must.
The next day was a noisy one. The city folk had gathered in front of the castles, with great commotion as they awaited the words of their new leader. The crowd was curious about the crane-like contraption that was connected to a supposed cage, covered in a cloth. Everyone was anxious as they saw a man stand over the balcony of the castle. It was Haru, together with the knight commanders, the shield princess Claudia, Alicia and Prim, and his assistant, Ruby. The Grandmaster notices that there was a black veiled woman among them.
"Who is she?" Oswald questioned.
"Just a guest." Haru answered before moving up front to make his declaration.
Haru stared down the sea of people. He had to make this plan count otherwise all their work would have been for naught.
"Hear my words, citizen of Thore, that this city now belongs to me!"
There were sounds of panicking in the crowd, with many shouting and crying, before the soldiers below silenced them.
"And as you know, there will be some changes around here!" Haru shouted. "The Kingdom of Thore is no more! The Duchy of Whirlingpool will reign as of today!"
The crowd became even more restless as a huge uproar emerged from the men who were trying to cause a scene again, before being pacified by the soldiers once again.
"Now there is no need to worry! We are not like the Black Dogs! We will treat everyone in this kingdom fairly, regardless of race or gender!"
A large part of the crowd calmed after that, but there were still a few troublemakers among the sea of people.
"Now as an act of good will as your new ruler, I will give this gift in a cage to you all!" Haru said as he then turned to the crane operators. "Raise the cloth!"
The operators cranked the lever and raised the cloth, to reveal the contents of the cage. It was Celestine, tied to her bed, bound and gagged, naked. The townspeople gasped as they saw their goddess in a cage. Alicia and Claudia were shocked before moving up to attack the Duke, with the knights holding them back. Grandmaster Oswald then growls at the Duke.
"What is the meaning of this!?"
"Now, I've been informed that the townspeople desired Celestine! So I took the liberty of tying her up and delivering her to you!" Haru declared, ignoring the Grandmaster. "Now don't be shy! Whoever wishes to take this gift, step forward into the large white border drawn around the cage!"
There was a long pause in the crowd, before a huge shout of joy could be heard. Hundreds of men poured out of the crowd and gathered excitedly outside Celestine's cage. Many had already taken off their pants while some were already nude. Haru waited until men stopped pouring from the crowd, seeing that the white border was already full. He then signals to the operators.
"Raise the cage!"
"No!" Claudia screamed as she watched the cage slowly open.
"Haru how could you be so immoral!?" Grandmaster Oswald shouted. "Why would you let those lustful men get what they desire!?"
Haru didn't respond as he watched the cage open. The men poured into the cage and began to immediately rape Celestine, with many of them fondling the poor woman. Claudia's eyes flowed with tears as she watched her beloved lady get raped. But something shocking occurs, Celestine explodes into a puff of smoke. The men raping her grow confused at her sudden disappearance. Haru grins and raises his hand.
"Everyone stand back!" he shouted as he then ordered. "Archers! Target all who stay within the white border!"
Archers revealed themselves as they shot fire arrows at the naked men, who were panicking and confused at all the occurring events. The ground below the naked men combusts and sets them aflame. Some try to escape the blaze but the nearby soldiers keep them squared in. Everyone watched in horror as the men burned, until nothing but black bodies remained.
Grandmaster Oswald was shocked, he thought that the Duke was resorting to sex slavery, but this turn of events turned out to be delightful. He and the knight commanders stare at the Duke, who was grinning from ear to ear.
"I'm sorry that I didn't inform you about this. I just wanted to see the look on your face."
The knights pause a bit before laughing and patting the Duke in the back.
"You really had us there." Grandmaster Oswald laughed, "But I believe that you still have a crowd to address."
The Duke chuckled before turning to the crowd, who was still frozen in horror at the spectacle that they had witnessed.
"You think that I will be so compliant!? The threat of rebellion does not faze me!" The Duke proudly boasted. "You all are lucky that I made an example of these scum! Those who would dare jump onto a helpless woman!"
The people in the crowd frightfully mutter among themselves.
"Remember this! Follow the law and I will protect you fully! But disobey us and you will end up like these poor souls!"
The crowd stood silently, as if they were waiting for more.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Disperse! Go back to your daily routine! I have nothing else to say!"
And with that, the crowd begins to thin. The soldiers begin to clean up the charred remains of Celestine's would-be rapists. Haru watches with satisfaction as his plan had succeeded, he had disciplined an unruly people with an unexpected act of cruelty. Though the knights were pleased by this, Claudia and Alicia were a little harder to please.
"Y-You killed them…"
"Of course I did! Why would I let scum like them live? I bet that if they had the chance, they would have raped you three as well!"
"But you didn't have to mass murder them!" Alicia countered.
"I'm learning from the mistakes your leaders made." Haru said, leaning forward and looking at Alicia right in the eye. "I'm letting these people know the consequences and repercussions of being rapists. If they find joy in a woman's suffering then they are no better than the Black Dogs."
"Hypocrite! You tied up and gagged Celestine!" Claudia screamed as she tried to thrash herself free from the knight's grip.
"I did not harm her, in fact, she was safe the whole time!" Haru stated sensibly.
"Then where's Celestine!?" Alicia snarled.
Haru then whistled out. The black veiled woman takes off her veil, revealing Celestine under the dress.
"Milady! You're well!" Claudia said while breaking free from the knight's grip and rushing to the goddess. "How—I mean why—I mean—"
"Be calm Claudia, Haru did not harm me, but he did have to force me to cooperate in his plan."
"What did he do to you!?"
"Well if you want the full details…" Haru said sheepishly.
Celestine lied down unconscious, with her body tied to the bed. Haru opens the door for Ruby as she walks into the room and gets her magical items ready.
"Are you sure that this will work?"
"Y-Yes master, if Celestine stays still and calm, her shadow copy will be properly created." Ruby said as she began rubbing the body of Celestine. "I just need to caress every part of her body to get the shape of her body."
"What?" Haru asked blankly.
"I have to fondle her whole body to create her copy, master."
" But is that really necessary?" Haru asked.
"I'm sorry master, but that's how the magic works… Now I must begin if we want that copy as soon as possible."
Haru could hear Celestine moan as Ruby began stroking the thigh.
" Okay…. I'll be outside if you need me!" Haru said as he quickly left the room.
"And those are the crude parts of the story." Haru concluded.
"So you cloned Celestine and used her as bait to draw out the lustful men?" Claudia asked. "That's… actually smart and safe. I have to applaud you for that."
"Likewise, I have to appreciate your measures to protect the kingdom." Alicia said as she grimaced at the sight of the charred bodies. "Regardless of how questionable your methods may be."
"No need to thank me miladies. Besides, now that we have finished the political matters, we must prepare for the impending battle against the Black Dogs."
As they all entered, the Duke then turns to the knights and said.
"Please take these ladies to their new quarters downstairs." Haru said while gesturing to Alicia, Prim, Claudia and Celestine.
The knights nodded as they began to guide the ladies to their rooms.
"So sire." Grandmaster Oswald called. "Will we begin preparations for the emissaries?"
"Yes, I already had the men at the stables prepare the horses for Herr Weiss, Sir Jaune and I. I will leave the scouting mission to you."
"I will not fail you."
"Of course you won't." Haru nodded before walking away. "There is little room for error after all."
As the Duke walked out of the castle, he was stopped by a familiar face, one wearing fancy looking robes dipped in gold and purple.
"Bishop Gregory?"
"Yes sire!" Gregory confirmed. "The Church is in need of your assistance!"
"Of course, what do you wish me to help you with?"
"Please come this way." Bishop Gregory said while gesturing to the church nearby.
Haru was exhausted for the day. After finishing the speech to the public, he had to prepare everything else for the diplomatic missions. He also had to assist in helping the clergy set up their hierarchy and organization in this new city. A leader's work was never done, and his body felt like it was going to collapse, as he shambled his way to his bedroom, which was located only a floor below the throne room. He opens it to see a pleasing sight.
He saw Lady Rias, his beloved wife, reading a book by the bed, using the nearby candle as a source of light. Her body was bare, showing her beautiful porcelain skin and her flawless face. The woman put down her book and smiled at Haru, who creeps into bed and kisses her passionately. After a hard day's work, Haru deserved a reward after all.
The next day wasn't necessarily a good one for Haru. Sir Rene had taken his gift horse to Dragundaala, even though it was supposed to be the Duke himself bringing the gifts. He even asked the Hospitalier commanders and they gave him the same answer.
"So he had entrusted the Hospitalier missions to you?" Haru asked sternly.
"Yes milord, unless you have any quarrel with that."
Haru took a deep sigh while massaging his forehead in frustration.
"No it's fine, take over for him. I'll deal with him when he returns. You may leave."
The commander bows before leaving the room. Grandmaster Oswald then commented.
"You know, Sir Rene was right to leave you out of harm's way."
"I know, but I didn't think he would go that far." Haru commented with a sigh.
"Let's be realistic sire, this newly founded country needs your guidance." Grandmaster Oswald candidly spoke.
"I guess you're right… I merely wished to see the Dragonness for myself." Haru sighed disappointedly. "Well, at least now, I can concentrate on the new task at hand."
A messenger enters the throne room and bows before Haru.
"Milord, I have brought the shield princesses as you requested."
"Good, bring them in."
Haru sees Alicia and Claudia walk in with newly-fashioned armor, fully covering their bodies, unlike those pathetic bikini plate armor they wore before.
"So Sir Haru. What is the plan now?" Claudia asked while stepping forward.
Haru sheathes his longsword, and dons his visored barbuta. He then walks up to the shield princesses and responds.
"We train the townsmen for the impending battle."
Volt had a blast raping Olga, she was his favorite, biggest tits, and the haughtiest one around. He just loved breaking her spirit with every motion of his hips. Though he couldn't wait to get a taste of that High Elf goddess Celestine. But somehow, he felt something ominous coming, as if something bad was going to happen. He shrugged off the feeling and continued raping the Dark Elf queen.
