As I said before, some parts may differ from the original plot so hope you don't mind.

Also, thanks for the correction. I appreciate the help.


Normal POV

Kirito struggled from the bonds that held her to the ground. Three more figures glared down at female. One was Agnes, Captain of the Tristain musketeers in service of Henrietta, who was currently holding the victim down. The other two were Louise and Princess Henrietta. As what they're looking at, she's Kirito.

How has our hero got to this mess, you might say. Well, it's simple. Back at the time when Kirito ran from the scene. Unknowingly to her, Agnes had seen her escape. In the first place, Agnes had just returned to her post after a short break. By god knows what, saw a stranger running after hearing the creaking of a door. By piecing together bits of information, as the room was where Princess Henrietta was in and the unknown being wearing black clothing resembling an assassin. In scenarios like these and like a nature instinct, her mind reacted believing that the escapee was an enemy who had tried to do harm to the princess. Maybe an assassin sent by other nations to create disorder to her home nation.

She unsheathed her blade and sprinted after the black female. Making a turn on a corner, Agnes stopped her movement at the sight of the men surrounding her target. A misunderstanding arose between her realization and the truth. To Agnes, the men were bravely sacrificing themselves by using their bodies and fists to block the female's path. In truth, those men were all fans swarming their very own "princess". XD

Using this chance, Agnes was able to pin down the assassin and placed a gun over her forehead. The sudden appearance of a gun caused the whole group even the pinned down criminal to be shocked with confused expressions in the mix. Agnes however, paid no heed to it and would of pulled the trigger. Would of. If Louise hadn't screamed.

The rest was as followed with Kirito proven innocent for the non existent crime, but was still tied up. Of course, Kirito struggled in the process to no avail. Completing the final phase of securing Kirito, Agnes carelessly threw Kirito over her shoulders before Louise suggested to roll her on the ground. The idea didn't appeal to Agnes nor did she question the reasoning for she had seen the sadistic smile on Louise's face. Her fans quickly dispersed, not wanting anything to do with the situation.


Back to the present, Kirito had stopped her struggling. From anyone's view, they might see the scene as a group of ladies, torturing their chosen victim. On her face showed small bruises from crashing into the hallway walls, purposely by Louise. Agnes was still confused about the whole thing. While Kirito knew of the situation and was punished for seeing what shouldn't have be seen.

Louise wanted her familiar to suffer. From no food to a month to nailed to the wall upside down. Kirito shuddered at the thought and whimpered like a baby. Princess Henrietta couldn't stand punishing Kirito because she felt a punishment was unjust for someone that had done no wrong. So they compromised in explaining to Kirito the real reason behind their position and(Louise edited) if she ever leaked out the information, she would be severely tortured.

Kirito POV

How did I end up like this? First seeing Louise and Princess in a lesbian pose. Then, being tackled by grown woman and tied up to be rolled over the ground like a toy. Finally arriving back to Louise's room with injuries. As if it wasn't enough, Louise and the princess are having a discussion on what to do with me. People always say," Life is hard," without a care. Guess what, it's hell. Oh, I so wish I had just died back then or better, alive in my old world as a MALE. Mrs. Luck is never on my side it seems.

"Kirito?" Princess Henrietta crouched down towards my face. Her voice was like an angels. Sweet and kind. My lips curved into a smile at the sound of her voice.

'Stomp!'

"What are doing staring at her like that, pervert!?" Louise's foot was planted on my chest.

Damn that hurt. What's with the sudden assault? "I didn't do anything." I debated in agony. "Besides, aren't you the pervert for s-" As I was about to reveal her methods of torment, her foot slammed on my gut.

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Louise, clearly flustered, spreaded her fury upon my back by raining down kicks and stomps, merciless.

Agnes dragged the kicking mad woman away before causing anymore permanent damage. "Please forgive Louise rudeness, Kirito. She's more of the violent type sometimes." Princess Henrietta had apologised in Louise place, a true royalty with manners. I nodded in response. Seeing me accept, Princess Henrietta placed her hands on her chest, sighing in relief. Once more her eyes made contact with mine. "I have seen your performance on stage and was truly impressed by your swordsmanship. Louise had already told me much about you." Princess Henrietta praised me as her smile shined down on me. "Firstly, I want to clear out the misunderstanding. If you are not sure what I mean, it's about the time when you opened the door." I nodded for her to continue. " Okay." Princess Henrietta began her lecture, an index finger held close to her face, like a teacher to a student. "For the reason for Louise and myself being in that sort of position was clearly not of our intent. It was a result of struggling for a certain object. Please don't ask me what. In the midst of our struggle, I tripped and fell on my back. Louise tried to catch me before that happens and sadly fails. This resulted in her being over me and her arms and legs in caging me was so she wouldn't land on me." Her face reddens at the object part but quickly disappeared as it appeared. Her voice was surprisingly calm throughout the explanation.

After the explanation, everything made sort of sense. I agreed to the terms for my freedom and Anges untied me. My bones cracked as I stretch them, legs crossed on the floor.

"Cough" Henrietta tried to gain our attention once more. "Now to more serious matters." She exclaims, her usual sweet voice turned nervous. "There is a reason for me to visit Louise's room in secret." Question marks floated over Louise's and my own head. "The thing is, to increase my country's defenses and military power, I have chosen into the Germania's royal family. Though, it won't go as planned as the letter I sent to Wales of Albion might cancel the marriage."

Getting the point of her worries, I butted in. "So you want us to retrieve. Am I correct?"

"That's right Kirito." Princess gazed at her feet, her voiced became a whisper. "I know this isn't the right choice, but my country needed more power against the upcoming dangers." I got up using my hands as support and scratched my head. "But why us? Isn't it better to have a professional to the work?" My doubt is canceled as Princess Henrietta explains that she fears that there's an enemy spy. That's also the reason that her appearance here is in secrecy. I still had some more questions but Louise readily accepted the mission. Her excuse was that a noble can't refuse the royalty's orders and that their childhood friends. Of course, I also agreed to help out of my own free will.

Seeing that we had accepted the quest, Henrietta's face lit up and bowed her head. Before she left, she gave us some dates and directions for our journey. It seems that the letter will be sent in nearly one week. Our source of transportation will be provided by Wardes, captain of the griffin squadron. Things were perfectly thought out. I wasn't worried at all, but stressed that there was never a moment of rest for me in this new world. 'Sigh'
