Chapter 26
Sebas is walking at a slow pace, taking his time to reach his destination. Thinking about the decision he has made in the past days. He sighed, thinking about a conversation he had with his lady before the operation started. The small message made him realize how fragile the confidence of his resolution to serve her is. Sebas should have told her about his situation with Tsuare.
Many problems would have been avoided if he didn't fear for the human's life. Sebas was too worried about what could happen that his action only brought everything he wanted so desperately to avert. Now Tsuare is suffering from his mistakes. Seba's sigh, closing his eyes, thinking in the small talk he had with his lady.
"{Sebas.}"
"{My lady? What can I do for you?}" Sebas asked, nervously.
"{I just wanted to talk before I leave. I needed to ask you something about what happened.}" Galadriel's voice is soft but commanding.
"{My lady. What do you have in mind?}" Sebas said.
"{Sebas, do you trust me?}" Galadriel asked.
"{I don't understand the question, my lady.}" Sebas asked, confused.
"{Do you trust my judgment? Do you trust that I can make a moral decision? That I deserve your trust in me.}" Sebas thought for a moment. Thinking about a proper answer. But his lady cut him off before he could say anything.
"{Sebas, you know that I loved Touch-me. He saved my life more than once, I owe him a lot. I understand that you acted the only way you could, the way Touch-me created you. To save and protect the weak. I would have understood the reason why you saved that girl if you told me. I know that a part of you will always be more loyal to Touch-me than me." Sebas is in shock, not believing what he is hearing.
"{My lady!}" Seba's exclaim.
"{It's okay, Sebas, I understand. Sebas, it truly hurt me that you didn't trust my judgment. That you did all this behind my back and never believe that I could be wise enough to understand. I will not lie about this, Sebas. I was furious, I wanted to kill that girl, and punish you for what you did. Thankfully, Pandora's Actor… Was there to calm me down. To not let my temper get the best of me, you know how my Demon traits are." Galadriel giggles softly.
"{I don't want this to happen again, Sebas. I don't want to feel like that anymore. You understand?" Galadriel said.
"{I do, my lady. I apologize for the suffering I brought you. It won't happen again. Ever." Sebas said with determination.
"{Good. For the love I have to Touch-me and you, I will let this incident pass. I would bring this girl back to Nazarick, where she would be safe with her sister. Just never do this again." Galadriel's voice is icy and brought shivers to Seba's body. He knew that his beloved lady would never accept another insubordination again. Not like this.
"{I swear it. Never again, my lady.}" Sebas said.
"{Good. Now, I believe it's time for us to move, we have things to do.}" Galadriel said, cutting off the message.
"I will not fail you again," Sebas said, walking in the night.
He should have known better but is too late to regret his past mistakes. Sebas will learn from this and make sure that nothing like this happens ever again. Still, Sebas thought about what his lady said about hi creator, Touch-me saving her more than once.
"What could she mean by that?" Sabas whispered while walking in the mist of the night.
"What happened to my lady?" Sebas wondered.
He decided to not think about it tonight. There is much to do, and perhaps he could ask his lady about it although, he would rather not. Sebas arrived at the front door of the Eight Fingers base. There is no one outside to protected, making Seba's frown. He knows something is strange here; it is far too obvious that this is to lure him in.
"A bait," Sebas said. Then he turns around when he felt two presences near him. Sebas recognize both of them as he walked to both of them and he is honestly surprised to see those two again.
"Lord Sebas?" Climb said.
"Strange coincidence to see the both of you here. Is something wrong?" Sebas asked.
"We should be the ones asking that, lord Sebas," Climb said, confused.
"What are you doing here? This is the base of the Eight Fingers," Brain said, looking at the old butler with a puzzled face.
"How do you know that?" Seba asked.
Climb explained to him about the operation that is targeting the criminal organization. How they will attack several bases to capture or kill the leaders of the Eight Fingers. Sebas is wondering if this is all part of his lady plan to conquer this kingdom. He didn't know the rest of the plan that Demiurge is in charge of, but perhaps this is all part of it. He can't be sure. Hopefully, they won't be interfering with his lady goals.
"I see that is a big mission," Sebas said.
"Yes, is it's, but what are you doing here, lord Sebas?" Brain asked.
"Sadly, they kidnapped a girl I saved a few days ago. The summon me, and thus I have presented myself here," Sebas said.
"We could help you!" Said Climb.
"I appreciate the help," Sebas said with a smile. Sebas didn't need their help, but he prefers to monitor them. In any case of them intervening with his lady plans, he would have to act accordingly. A sudden presence brought his attention, as did the other two.
He is just another of the adventurers who are helping them. Still, Sebas carefully heard about their plan to infiltrate the base, and how the members of the Six Arms are there. He knew who they were, but they didn't matter to him. Still, he needed to be careful and act properly. He will clean the ground from enemies and bring Tsuare back to Nazarick, away from this place.
"I don't have a problem going against them," said Sebas.
"Are you sure, old man?" said the hooded man.
"He's strong," said Brain with a smile.
"Don't worry about me, they will be to busy with me so three can sneak in without a problem," Sebas said.
"I will ask that you find and rescue Tsuare for me, would that be a problem?" Climb nodded.
"We will," said Climb
Sebas suspected that they will use a bait to lure them to a fake prisoner. It's a big possibility that they will use her against him. He may not be the smartest being in Nazarick, but he knows human nature. Especially those who are too greedy and full of lust and arrogance. He strolled to his destination, with only a goal in his mind and it was to complete this mission and return home.
In the dark cell, a girl is shivering, freezing in the cold cell. She is repeating to herself that everything would be all right, that all will end soon. Her naked body did not show any sign of abuse, but her mind is spiraling down, because of the memories of those nights she spends in the brothel as a sex slave are coming back to life.
"No. I will not break," she whispered to herself.
Tsuare is leaning back and forward. Even though that Succulent guy didn't rape her, the fact he strips her was enough to send Tsuare to an almost catatonic state.
"You will like it. All whores like it after a while."
"Take it! Take it!"
"So tight and warm, I wonder how long it would take for you to get pregnant."
The voices are getting louder and louder. Tsuare can't see the faces of those men without feeling scared or disgusted. She is trying hard to don't think about it; she is pushing them away from her mind, as far she can. Trying to only think about Sebas and his soft and strong voice.
"I love the way you scream!"
"Shut up!" Tsuare scream.
"Shut up! Shut up!" Those faces, the smiles, and twisted eyes.
"Monsters… They are monsters, humans are monsters. All of them," Tsuare said to herself.
Tsuare will never trust a human ever again, she will stay away from every one of them. If she could rip her skin off and take a new one. She would, without wasting time. The sickening feeling of being part of such a race drives her mad. How could she be one of them? She can only think.
"All of them… I hate them. I hate them."
"Sebas, please save me," Tsuare said, bringing her knees to her chest.
She didn't know how much she will wait in this cell, losing herself to her imagination full of nightmares, but even in the face of madness. She still believes Sebas will come for her. There is nothing in her shattering soul and mind that could convince her otherwise.
"I will wait, he will come. He is not human, he will save me from this hell," Tsuare whispered, alone in the dark.
Tsuare counted the seconds pass by. Distracting herself from her mind, because she is not welcome there. Every minute is a lifetime. Every voice in her mind, every whisper, she will not break to them. She will hold herself together. Never again she will cry for them. No human will take her hope again, not whispering memories. No pigman. No one.
"I will keep myself complete," Tsuare said.
Then she heard a door opening. She held her breath for a long minute. Every demon in her mind shouted at her. The voices grew louder and louder. Trying to kill any hope for freedom, like long evil hands trying to drown her in an endless sea of suffering.
"Tsuare, I am here," the monsters of her mind, disappear. Every single one of them.
"Sebas," she said, running to him. Hugging him, making sure he is real.
"You came! You came!" Tsuare repeated.
"I told you, I will," Sebas whispered.
"Are you all right? Did they hurt you?" Sebas asked while covering her with a cloak.
"I am fine, they just… took my clothes, that's all," Tsuare said with a smile. Enjoying the smell of the old Butler.
"Ready to go home?" Sebas said with a smile.
"Yes," Tsuare said, feeling how her the weight of his past is slowly drifting away.
"Come, hold my hand. Don't worry. I will protect you," Sebas said.
"I know," Tsuare said, holding his hand. As they both walk away from the dark cell, leaving all the demons behind.
"Sorry for taking so long. It was my fault for leaving you alone," Sebas said.
"No, it was my fault. I should have known better," Seba's sigh, after hearing that. He felt how she held his hand close to her, like she is afraid that he will vanish at any moment. She must be traumatized for all that has happened to her, everything has gone so fast, and Sebas is afraid of her mental state. He would ask Pestonya about it. Perhaps they can help her out. To make her forget and move forward. He is about to say something to her when they both heard someone fighting. Tsuare hugs his arm, trying to calm herself.
"It's okay Tsuare, as long I am here. Nothing will happen to you," Sebas said.
"I trust you," Tsuare said.
"Stay behind me," he said.
As they walk to the open room, Sebas saw Climb and Brain, looking surprised to see him but relief as well. He notices a tall man, with coppery skin and covered with various tattoos.
"What's going on here? How are you standing in front of me?" The man asked, puzzled.
"The Six Arms were supposed to be fighting you," Sebas tilted his head.
"Ah, them. They are all dead," Sebas said. Remembering those humans, their names and titles all meaningless. Especially the one who called himself the undead king. For a lowly form of undead, he surely exalted himself.
"You are senile, old man. They might be weaker than me, but there's no way you could fight them and come out unscathed," the bald man said with anger in his eyes.
"If that's what you want to believe," Sebas said.
"Lord Sebas, Tsuare is still somewhere! We found an imposter!" Climb yelled. Making Sebas glad that he was right after all. They had a bait.
"Don't worry, she is safe," Tsuare saw everyone looking at her, making her hide behind Sebas.
"Good thing that the maid uniform is not valuable, so there is nothing to worry about," Sebas said with a smile.
"Oi! You old man, don't ignore me! I'm Zero, the leader of the Six Arms!" Zero yelled, getting angrier.
"I would say is a pleasure to meet you, but I would be lying," Sebas said with a smile.
"Brain Unglaus, I will deal with you later. I need to show this old man who I am," Brain only sigh, knowing full well that he won't win against the old man.
"You will pay! [Panther] [Falcon] [Rhinoceros] [Buffalo] [Lion]" Zero pull all his strength in one punch.
"Die!" Sebas just stood there, taking the punch without difficulty. It took a few seconds for Zero to realize what is happening. He should have found nothing but blood and organs all over the place. But that's not the case this time. Instead, he saw Sebas just standing there with a bored look on his face, raising his leg and ending his world before he could understand what just happened.
"Now that this is over, I believe we should move on," Sebas said with a smile. The group still didn't believe what they just saw, but they will ask questions later.
"A-All right, we need to signal the troops to search the building," Climb said. Sebas suddenly froze. Something is going on outside.
No one but Sebas knew what was happening in the city. He felt a powerful Tier Spell taking place in the capital of the kingdom, and he knew that his lady plans just started. So he moved fast, taking Tsuare in arms, carrying her like a bride and make sure to take her to the safety of Nazarick.
"Shall we step outside?" He said, not waiting for an answer. Tsuare seems to ignore the other humans, resting her head on Seba's chest. Feeling safe and happy. They walked outside of the building, feeling tired and quite relieved for the success of the operation.
"Lord Sebas, allow me to thank you for helping us," Climb said.
"We had a common goal, so don't worry about it," Sebas said.
"Wait! What's that?" They all saw an immense wall of fire surrounding the city.
Sebas could smell the dead from miles away. Many innocent people will day tonight, if they are lucky that would be the only thing that would happen to them. But knowing Demiurge, he is not sure. Regardless, he completed his mission. At least one live would be saved tonight.
"At least one..." he whispered to himself.
Hours early, in a certain mansion at the edges of the city. A beautiful lady seems to be just waking up from a good rest. She realizes after a few seconds that everything is too quiet. She took her robe and slowly walk outside her room, looking for her servants or anyone she could talk to.
"Where is everyone?" she asked. She can't find anyone of her servants, like they just vanish. She felt shivers, but decided that she will not panic, yet.
"What is that?!" she exclaims as she saw from her window branches surrounding the entire place. She ran away, looking for someone until from the second floor she saw a small child looking at her.
"Hey, little missy… Oh, I mean kid, can you tell me what is going on?" she asked, nervously.
"M-Miss, are you the most important person here?" the dark elf asked.
"No-Yes! My name is Hilda Cygnaeus. I am the most important person in this place," Hilda said, thinking how she could escape this place. This is not her being paranoid, but she felt in every fiber of her body, that her life is in great danger. So, she decided that perhaps she could seduce the inexperienced boy. And strike when he is distracted.
"Is that so? That's great. Here she is!" The boy yelled, and the Hilma saw a strange maid walking from a door, eating a hand. She almost yelled but didn't want to panic. She didn't know what is going on, but she needed to escape fast from this place.
"H-Hey kid, want to have fun?" She is not a high-class prostitute for nothing. Hilma knows how to seduce any man or woman of any age. This will not be different.
"I can make you feel real good," sadly for her, this is not her day.
"I don't have time! We need to go, so hold still," the dark elf said while breaking the leg of Hilma with his staff.
"We need to hurry!" Mare is dragging her by the hair, while she could only cry and beg.
"O-Okay Entoma, I am going! Take care of the rest!" Mare said.
"Okay~," Entoma said.
Hilma didn't know for how long she was dragged, she just continued to begged him for mercy. She promise him gold, power, or anything. But he didn't pay attention to her. He just broke her other leg, so she would stop moving around. She cried in pain until he finally throws her in a dreary place. Things are hanging from the walls, strange objects. Hilma didn't know where she is, but she knew it is not a good place to be.
"Neuronist, here she is," Mare said shyly.
"Oh, lord Mare, thank you for bringing her to me! I was so lonely," the huge grey bloating corpse with tentacles said, happily.
"Lady Galadriel said that you need to make her loyal and very submissive, just like Clementine," Mare said.
"It will be my pleasure!" Neuronist saaid, while Hilma is holding herself to Mare's legs, begging him for help.
"Please, don't leave me here! I will give you anything! Please, please!" She cried.
"You are annoying," said Mare, pushing her away and leaving her alone with the creature.
"Please!" Hilma yelled.
"Now, now, my dear. That's not the way a lady should behave!" Neuronist said.
"We will have a lot of fun together!" Hilma crawled away from her, but without success. Neuronist chains her to the wall and teared up her clothes, leaving her naked.
"You should be thankful that our lady has plans for you. Or Kyouhukou would have used you to feed his family," Nueronist said.
"We will learn a lot about each other~, I will make a very good pet for our lady! You are so lucky! She is the most stunning woman in this world! Ah, if she only invited me to her bed~," Neuronist sigh lost in her mind.
"Now, I need to make sure you are clean and proper. After learning of your line of work, I concluded that I should clean your genitalia, and for that, I would have to take it out to wash it. We can't have you being all dirty around our lady!" Hilma only screams for help, for anyone to come to save her. But none answer.
"Don't worry, I already did it once! So don't worry I know what I am doing, now be an obedient girl and said, Ahh!" Hilma will never be the same after this, training. Just like Clementine before her, she will break, after all. Their lady wants only obedient girls.
