Bodies littered the area. The Holy Knight, a mysterious figure that had worked to rally the remainder of the Church's flock and villagers who viewed the Demon Queen as a heathen challenge from Satan, lay in pools of their own blood with their limbs torn asunder.
The Holy Knight laid on her knees in defeat. The Dark Knight moved back to the Queen. The Demon Queen had plopped herself onto a wooden chair and hadn't moved as her Dark Knight killed everything in sight except for the Holy Knight. The Holy Knight had used all his possible tricks but had completely failed in stopping the ensuing bloodbath.
"So, what will it be?" asked the Demon Queen, the lips of her angelic face moving upward. Her cheek rested on her right palm as she slouched in her chair.
The Holy Knight slammed a fist on the ground and sent a tremor across the small farm.
"Come now, you must have realized that preparing your strategy on an open field wasn't too smart. My army had the place surrounded and walls built within a few short weeks." continued the Queen, "I could have killed your whole resistance within days after I tracked your movements and I've been more than forthcoming in giving missives of peace to your religious zealots. It's not my fault that you've all acted irrationally because your entire life's meaning is based upon worthless symbolism."
"I . . . I believe that God will . . . !" screamed the Holy Knight from the metallic helmet that obscured the identity of the Knight from Hero and Queen. "God will vanquish you all in the days of Judgment! God . . . God will save the righteous! The meek shall inherit the Earth!"
"Oh please, have you never once given critical thought to this God of yours?" said the Demon Queen, she began to giggle. "And of course the meek shall inherit the earth, just look around you! Their bodies are becoming quality members of the earth's biodiversity and ecosystem!"
The Demon Queen burst out laughing at her own joke. The Dark Knight folded his arms but heard echoes of laughter from their army a few yards behind them. He winced inside his armor as the Holy Knight screeched like a banshee. The Holy Knight raised the same arm and slammed it onto the ground causing small tremors once again.
"I . . . I believe in the Lord, the Lord will save us, even with my death . . . I . . . I have always served and committed myself to the firmest possible moral principles!" said the defeated Knight, the Holy Knight raised its head to gaze upon the Demon Queen. "You may laugh and spit upon me demon! But let fear grip your heart! I know that I shall be saved and that one day salvation shall come to free humanity from your vile mockeries!"
"Moral principles? Let's look at your so-called morality, a morality that feeds upon narcissism and hypocrisy!" said the Demon Queen, she began to sneer. "You believe in original sin, a belief that postulates that you're capable of the most unfathomable evil, and then you say that your God saves you from sinfulness by taking the penance required for your sins and that such a belief is moral goodness. In other words, you believe that you can lie, murder, and do other horrific acts but so long as you seek your God's salvation then you will be saved in the afterlife. That is a moral system that exists to repeal all moral obligations from the individual for their actions! What a profoundly psychotic belief system!"
The Holy Knight seemed to break down and crumpled to the ground. Sniffling and anguish from crying could be heard. The Demon Queen settled back into her seat and smirked. "I've lost my patience with you and you won't gain any pity from me for your worthless state. A punishment is in order; you must submit to me unconditionally. You will remove all of your garments and accept your status as the royal slave. If you refuse, then you shall be killed and your body will be left on this farmland to rot like the others. The choice is yours."
"Y – You bitch!" shouted the Holy Knight, rising to his feet. "I'll . . . I'll never submit to you! You killed the only man I ever loved! You . . . you monster!"
Demon Queen let out an exasperated sigh but the Dark Knight froze upon hearing the accusation. The man?
Unknown to Hero, Demon Queen had picked-up on the slip but was beyond caring about it. She was ready to order the Holy Knight's death but paused upon seeing that the Holy Knight was removing the helmet. The helmet was thrown to the ground as a young blond woman with an angry scowl was revealed underneath. Female Knight?! She's . . . she's alive! Shit, shit, shit! I cannot allow my Queen to order her death.
"You killed Hero!" screeched Female Knight, pointing an accusing finger at Demon Queen, "I . . . I didn't realize until too late that I had grown to love him! I wanted to tell him! But . . . he died and it's all your fault! I never got the chance to tell him and then this stupid war happened. I fought for his memory, I thought I would be fighting to save the world from your evil and that I could devote my life to the Church and a cause greater than myself to finish where Hero started. But in the end . . . it was all meaningless because of you! I HATE YOU!"
Female Knight crumpled back to the floor in tears. Dark Knight froze unable to process what happened and too shocked to intervene. Demon Queen smirked in triumph. "Well then, young knight, submit to me unconditionally and I shall grant you a final reprieve. I shall tell you what happened to the Hero before his disappearance and then I shall decide your fate. Dally or refuse and you shall be struck down never knowing what happened to him. I offer this is a final respite to you before I bring an end to your suffering."
Female Knight's body began to shake and she wept harsher than before. She slowly got to her feet and began to remove her armor. Dark Knight remained frozen due to his conflicting loyalty. Should I tell the Queen? I . . . I'll have to block any oncoming attack but what then?! Shit!
Female Knight finished removing her armor and ripped off her shirt. She unhooked her bra and tore it in two. None of this matters because I'll be dead soon . . . and with Hero again . . .
She took off her pants and ripped off her panties before tearing them apart. She fell to her knees but made no show of covering herself. "I submit to your whims, Queen of Demons. So please . . . please tell me . . ."
Tears began to streak down her cheeks as her body trembled. Demon Queen grinned and turned to the Dark Knight. "Remove your helmet, my Husband."
Dark Knight stood momentarily still. Damn it, what is she planning? If it comes down to it, I will defend Female Knight's life but so much is different now. I can't just abandon my commitments to Demon Queen. How do I convince her? Shit, shit, shit!
He removed the helmet and let it magically disappear. The rest of the armor remained and the Hero gazed upon Female Knight's thunderstruck visage before hanging his head.
"I'm sorry, Female Knight," began Hero, "so much happened and I . . ."
The Hero stopped upon feeling a small collision and seeing Female Knight hugging him tightly. She was crying and laughing at the same time what seemed to be a strange delirium. In his shock, the rest of his armor vanished into the pocket where he kept the armor's seal and the Female Knight hugged his normal body tightly while rapidly kissing different parts of his face.
"I love you! I love you!" trilled the Female Knight, tears streaking down her face as she hugged him more tightly and kept kissing his face. "I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'll do anything but please don't ever leave again! I don't know what I did for you to abandon us the first time but I'm sorry!"
"What! No, I left to keep you all out of danger and – "
He was cut off when Female Knight forcefully pressed her lips onto his and began to grope the fabric concealing his nether regions. "I missed you so much! All of the things I never got to tell you, everything that you missed out on! I love you, Hero! Please, don't leave me!"
Hero looked fearfully toward the Demon Queen. Female Knight regained enough of her sanity to follow Hero's gaze. Hero furrowed his brows as he witnessed Demon Queen chuckling.
"Now to end your suffering, young knight," said Demon Queen, she began to giggle. Female Knight looked toward Demon Queen and began to shake. Hero held one of her wrists firmly in his grasp. "you cannot be with Hero. Our laws and customs in the demon world don't allow it. There is only one way for you to be with Hero in any prolonged period of time without it bringing dishonor and criminal persecution but how far are you willing to go for him?"
"I'll do anything for him!" said Female Knight, Hero's eyes widened at the vigor behind the proclamation and began to blush. "Please! Anything! I . . . I can't live without him! I need him!"
"Are you sure? Are you willing to submit yourself as his unconditional royal slave for the rest of your life?" said the Demon Queen, she sneered at Female Knight. "You can only have a single fabric covering you, you must obey the Hero's every commands, and your only purpose henceforth would be to unconditionally satisfy the Hero's sexual desires. You will be his pet, his sex toy, and have no rights in any intercourse with him."
Hero gaped at Demon Queen. His groin hardened upon hearing the proclamation. This is completely immoral . . . but I always regretted . . . shit, shit, shit! I shouldn't even be considering this! This is wrong! I need to stop Female Knight from making a grave mistake.
"I accept!" said Female Knight at once, Hero's eyes widened as he rounded upon Female Knight. "I want nothing else but to be with him. I'll gladly do anything that he wishes and take any punishment that he deems fit. I . . . I love you, Hero. Please accept this decision."
Despite the wrongness, Hero couldn't help but want to alleviate Female Knight's crestfallen visage. Demon Queen got off her chair and walked toward Female Knight. She placed a clawed hand on Female Knight's throat causing both Hero and Female Knight to stiffen. Female Knight's neck began to glow red before an insignia marking for slave in the demon alphabet was clearly visible on her throat. Demon Queen removed her hand and placed it upon Hero's shoulder. "Soldiers, clear the area and begin making the necessary fortifications!"
The soldiers began to move after the commands. Hero frowned. I don't want any of them seeing Female Knight like this!
"Take us to the royal bedchambers, Hero." said Demon Queen, Hero turned to gaze at his wife and saw her smiling innocently at him. Hero sighed and used the transport technique to move them instantly to the Royal bedchambers.
Upon arrival, Hero noticed that the baby wasn't in the crib. Demon Queen followed his gaze and smiled back to him. "I had Head Maid take the baby out to play with for the remainder of the day."
"Why did you do this?" asked Hero, Demon Queen placed both hands on his shoulders and began to massage them.
"Because, dear Husband," said the Queen, "you earned a reward for your loyalty and irreplaceable service for my goals. I love you and I want you to be happy. This woman is a reward for your excellent service. I knew that she would be totally willing of her own volition and demon traditions aren't against shared lovemaking or shared love."
"What if she becomes pregnant?" asked the Hero, beginning to frown.
Demon Queen grinned. "They will be part of the royal family but they shall not be in line for the throne. Whomever I assign will be the next ruler after our reign and I intend for that to be our first child."
"First?"
"Indeed, we still need to work on that."
Demon Queen snapped her fingers and Hero felt his shirt and undershirt vanish. Hero turned to Demon Queen to see that she had banished her own clothes and began to press her body from behind him. Suddenly, there was a thud and Hero turned to see Female Knight had fallen to her knees. Oh no! Did she get dizzy from the instant travel? I should have been more carefu -!
Hero immediately lost his train of thought as Female Knight ripped open his pants and began to shove them down. She began to shove down his boxers and took his manhood into her entire mouth. Hero gasped from the ecstasy and felt his head gently tilted to the side. Demon Queen gave him a passionate kiss and the three began their passionate sin.
