“And that was the events that had happened, mesdames.”
“Alright Mercedes, you may leave. Oh and give my command; Adrian is to be the chief judge of the newly built Bierbam court; Clement will be appointed the peerage of Dark Baron and given the fief of Tanade. As for Maltz, he is to be promoted to the Warden general for his merits in interrogation.
“Thank you lady Bella, I thank the mesdames in place of those three; your servant shall leave now.” Mercedes exited the room with a bow.
Bella was currently enjoying breakfast with the girls, of course, Roland and Annie were also present; they were placed to either side of Bella, occasionally Bella would reach over and take advantage of them; they were still extremely shy, but they no longer struggled as they knew that to do so would just encourage Bella further.
“Roland, my little treasure, have some milk; it’s freshly squeezed from the farm! Drink more, it’s good for your body’s development.” As she looked at Roland’s frightened face, Bella snickered as she forced a cup of milk down Roland’s throat; Roland had wanted to turn her head to the side but Bella had held her head with one hand, rendering Roland unable to move her head.
“Are you still at odds with me? You should give in already.” Bella didn’t really care for the struggling girl in her hands, she just continued to force milk down her throat; by the fourth cup, Roland had stopped struggling. Annie was scared by the scene that was unfolding beside her and looked away; when it was her turn to be fed milk by Bella, she chose not to struggle unlike her childhood friend and quietly let Bella pour the milk down her throat.
“Sister, when can you let me feel it too? These two sisters seem to really enjoy it!”
“Sister, this ritual has to be repeated every day? What’s the theory behind it, can you let me try it too?”
“*cough* Angel and Mia, you two should hurry up and finish breakfast, it won’t taste good anymore when it’s cold. We’ll leave this topic for another time.”
Bella changed the topic as there was something more important to discuss. According to Maltz’s interrogation of Adris, there exists an ancient underground palace below the resting place; the palace was where he found the strange tools and the books from which he learned the rope techniques.
Last night her subordinate, Adrian had already led a bunch of fodder to scout ahead; the leader was Annie’s fiance, it was hitting two birds with one stone for Bella right now. It would make thing less annoying for Bella if he were to die there.
“But Bella, according to the report the path is heavily trapped and very dangerous; even that old zombie himself doesn’t know how many traps there are. We should also send some fodder to scout a path.”
“There’s no need Dolores, there is already ready-made fodder at the scene; you’ll know when we get there. Get Mercedes to arrange for all our troops on the western border to gather in front of the resting place; oh, and also call my three strongest subordinates as well.”
“【Skeleton King] Fred is in the area, but 【Shadow Demon] Tanpur and 【Skeletal Dragon] Brant is pretty far. Are you sure you want to call those two as well?”
“Yes, tell them to leave their maters to their own subordinates and hurry here; or else Fred will receive all merit and rewards after.”
“Ok, I’ll have monsters send messages to those two.”
After she finally finished all her arrangements, Bella let out a long breath. She looked to the fearful Annie and Roland, kissed each of them on the cheek, and took out the black blindfolds.
“You two wait for me here, don’t try to run~. Sleep for a while and I’ll be back to adore you girls when you wake up.”
After she blindfolded the two girls, Bella fed them a sedative fruit syrup and the two of them fell asleep no long after; Bella placed the two sleeping girls in her own room and tucked them in.

Adris resting place, Bella had led a raid on this location previously, there should have been no more zombies, but there was a large number of fresh zombies that seem to have only died recently. Currently, a party of several dozen people were having some difficulty exploring.
This party was mostly made up of golden armoured cavalry, with a few people dressed in priest garbs. They were currently engaged in heated combat with the zombies, because of the fact that they were mounted along with the priest’s blessings; the comparatively small party made their way through the sea of zombies rather easily, with none of them showing panic on their faces.
“Hayley sister, these zombies are the guard regiment that my brother Sidney took with him yesterday; did he turn into one too?”
“Elanor, when did you start caring so much about your useless big brother? I’ve never noticed that you two had such deep sibling connections?”
The Church of Light’s 2nd holy maiden, Alicia Hayley, poked fun at the female knight that was cutting down zombies in front of her.
“I don’t care about that dumb brother of mine, his life or death has nothing to do with me. If he didn’t take my personal knight squadron with him last night, I wouldn’t be here in this crappy place!” Stuart Eleanor swung the sword in her hand, several red flashes of 《Jian Qi》 flew out of its blade and immediately shredded the zombies ahead of her; the whole process was as flowing as water, with no opening at all to be found.
Eleanor was fuming, while she was sleeping at night; her brother Sidney took her personal female knight corp with him. Those knights were like sisters to her, chosen from the friends that she had played with since they were mere children; the relationship between them and Eleanor had exceeded mere subordinates and superior.
Eleanor didn’t care for Sidney whatsoever, the Stuart family didn’t have a lot of daughters, but they did have a lot of sons; even if Sidney was dead, their father would be able to pick a new successor from the pile of brothers that they had. But those knights of hers were irreplaceable, everyone lost would be one lost forever.
Eleanor left together with her brother Sidney; him to accompany his fiance, her to meet with her good friend Randall Roland, to discuss which knight school they would attend together; after they graduated from their current academies in three months. They had just met up for a while when she heard that another one of her good friends, Hayley, was also in the county patrolling with the church’s knights.
Sidney was unusually enthusiastic about getting Eleanor to visit Hayley, saying that the four great families should pay their respects to the Church; she couldn’t hold against her shameless brother’s endless persuasion and temporarily left Sidney’s group for a while. Then her brother got into some big trouble, getting his Fiance Annie, and her good friend Roland lost in this creepy place.
If she knew that this was going to happen, she would have followed Roland and them. Eleanor regretted listening to that stupid brother of hers, she held the title of 【Rose Knight] not only because of her beauty but her cultivation was already on the level of a holy knight, she would get her official recognition as one after she went to the knight academy.
“Eleanor, you don’t have to blame yourself; the God of Light won’t abandon anyone that believes in her, I believe that Roland and Annie are safe and well.”
“Hayley, you don’t have to comfort me. If only I was there…I definitely would not have let them get taken by zombies.” Eleanor said confidently. She was one of the Octavian Empire’s(Knights) Four Beauty Knights, even Roland wasn’t strong enough to be one.
