Olsylvia Academy, North Campus, Filomena Nobility Academy’s Student Quarters, within the secret environment of the McPherson Monastery, one of the Olsylvia Academy’s Nine Midnight Forbidden Grounds, Cynthia’s dreamscape.
“Cynthia, since you already know that all of this is not real, why are you still participating in the illusions’ show?”
“Bella, the reason why… just let it be. You should leave as soon as you can. Leave this up to me. I will deal with it.”
The Holy Swordsman, Cynthia, seemed to be holding back some secrets from Bella. She had never been successful in trying to lie to her. Bella had not relinquished her hold on Cynthia, as she had a feeling that if she were to let this girl go, she would be lost to Bella forever. It did not make sense to release something when she was so close to taking her “first bite” of Cynthia’s scrumptious body.
“Cynthia, I refuse to do so. If I am leaving, I have to bring you with me, no matter what. Don’t even begin to think about abandoning me. It seems like your naughty little mouth still needs to be punished.”
“Don’t do this. I truly have my reasons for doing so. If you continue to act this way, don’t blame me for what I’m about to do. Wait… why are you moving even closer to me? Don’t…”
“Look into my eyes. Cynthia. Tell me everything that’s in this brain of yours. Otherwise, I will have to punish you. This time, it will not be resolved with just a few kisses.”
Bella pushed her face closer to Cynthia, her threats forcing Cynthia to make direct eye contact with her. Cynthia was terrified that Bella had some new twisted trick up her sleeve to take advantage of her. As the Holy Swordsman, she had always been very strong and aggressive. She did not expect that she would become so wishy-washy after being taken advantage of by Bella. Seriously, could it be that this naughty Duchess was meant to take her down?
“Cynthia, I believe that you are still hiding secrets from me. Tell me. I can help you resolve them. Don’t just reject me outright. I’m guessing that your identity as the Holy Swordsman has to be kept a secret. Even though I’m extremely close to President Maria, she has never mentioned you before.”
“I… Don’t talk nonsense. President Maria… just…”
“Cynthia, be honest with me. You can’t lie when you’re with me. It seems like I have to utilize some special methods to get you to talk.”
“Bella, hold on. Let me think about it… Don’t…”
Bella did not give Cynthia any time to consider. She wanted her to reveal all of the secrets that she had hidden. Once Bella got hold of these secrets – from that moment on, Cynthia would be hers. After that, all of the high ranking individuals of the Radiant Church would belong to her.
Staring into Cynthia’s beautiful silver irises, Bella took advantage of her confusion and used her Demon King ultimate skill, the “Demon King’s Mercy”. This skill had been used by Demon Kings when they were bestowing dark energy to their subordinates. If the skill was used on humans, it would be a way to force the human to give in to their master’s whims.
It was the first time that Bella was using this ultimate skill. Previously, President Maria and the four Holy Maidens did not put up such a strong fight against her, so Bella did not feel the need to use it on them. This time, Cynthia was much more resistant than they were, so it was the best opportunity to test this skill out. Once Cynthia was forced to be on her side, she would no longer be able to keep any secrets from her mistress.
Bella forced her lips on Cynthia’s once again, keeping her eyes locked on the other girl. At the same time, she was ensuring that Cynthia remained in a trance-like state. If she had an extreme reaction, Bella would have to stop. During the kiss, Cynthia could clearly tell that there was a strange energy flowing from Bella’s lips and into her body.1
As the Radiant Church’s Holy Swordsman, Cynthia was especially sensitive to dark energy. Almost instantly, Cynthia knew that the energy that Bella was transferring to her was dark. She twisted her body from side to side in an attempt to escape Bella’s restraints, but she was thoroughly locked in Bella’s tight embrace. Eventually, Cynthia could only give up and remain helpless against Bella’s administrations.
Once Bella’s dark energy had entered Cynthia’s body, she realized that there was a problem. There was an unusual magical mark within Cynthia. When the dark energy touched the mark, it would rebound and a strong burst of radiant energy would be reflected back to Bella.
Unprepared at first, Bella had been struck by the rebounding attack. When she released Cynthia’s lips, there was blood dribbling out of the corner of her mouth, as she had suffered some minor internal injuries. This was the first time that Bella had been met with a setback after forcing her kisses on so many young girls.
“Bella… You’re… You’re a demon! How could that be? If you were a demon, you would have already… Please hold on. Don’t look at me with such a terrifying expression. I wish you no harm.”
“Cynthia, I will give you one last chance to explain yourself and tell me all your secrets. Otherwise… Since you already know that I am a demon, I will play along and keep you as my prisoner for the rest of eternity…”
“Bella, please calm down. I will tell you everything… Just, I implore you to never repeat anything I am going to tell you to another soul.”
Cynthia was absolutely terrified when she saw the threatening glint in Bella’s eyes. A Demon King’s threat is one of the most frightening things that one could ever experience. Furthermore, this was the first time that Bella had failed when trying to take advantage of a girl, thus it was inevitable that she would feel anger. In her mind, Bella had already decided that if Cynthia was to resist her again, she would imprison her until Cynthia gave in to her whims.
Cynthia’s explanation destroyed some of the knowledge that Bella had learned about the Radiant Church. It seemed like the Radiant Church was not a morally upright organization. The reason why there were no traitors within the Radiant Church since it was established was not entirely due to their insightful teachings.
All members within the Radiant Church, other than the Radiant Pope, had a curse cast on them. This curse manifested itself in a unique spiritual imprint and it was a fail-safe used to control its followers. This curse had a similar quality to evil spells, which meant that the Pope could make use of it to cause anyone who planned to revolt to “self-destruct” and die.
This was an underlying reason as to why the Darkness Church had excommunicated themselves from the Radiant Church. The first Pope of the Darkness Sect had found out about the existence of this spiritual imprint. Using the demon’s energy, he managed to break the curse. Ever since the excommunication, the Radiant Pope had increased the strength of the spiritual imprint at least tenfold.
The current spiritual imprint could not be unlocked by a demon… even a Demon King would be unable to cause it any damage. If the Demon King were to force an attack, the imprint would release a burst of light energy and rebound onto the Demon King instead. It could even “ignite” the owner of the spiritual imprint. If Bella had made another frustrated attempt and forcefully injected more of her energy as a Demon King, Cynthia could have “self-destructed” right in front of her.
President Maria and the four Holy Maidens had this spiritual imprint in their bodies as well. It was just that they were blissfully unaware of it. As Bella had not seen the need to forcefully inject her demonic energy into them, they had not uncovered this secret. Within the Radiant Church, only the Radiant Pope and the Pope’s personal guard, the Holy Swordsman, knew of its existence.
Other than the self-destruct capabilities, the spiritual imprint was an incredibly similar product to a demon’s imprint. Using the imprint, one could even control the actions of the individual for a short period of time.
This spiritual imprint was called the “Radiant Faith”. Legend had it that this “Radiant Faith” was a personal gift from the Radiant God to the first generation Pope of the Radiant Church, the Holy Priest Goldsmith. The initial intention was for good, as many priests had been captured by the Twelve Demon King’s underlings during the war against the Twelve Demon Kings.
To prevent the priests from falling into the demon’s traps and being tortured, the self-destruct function of the spiritual imprint was especially important. However, the credibility of this information was hard to determine as it was said by the Radiant Pope. In this case, Bella begged to differ against the idea that the imprint was created as a form of resistance to being tortured by the Twelve Demon Kings’ subordinates.
Bella did not think that the Radiant God would hand over such an evil form of magic to a young maiden Pope like the Holy Priest Goldsmith. Folklore claimed that the Radiant God was a girl as well. Only Gods like the Darkness God could have come up with such evil forms of magic.
.
Fortunately, Bella had found out about this in time. Otherwise, it would be an absolute joke if, one day, Bella found herself being controlled by the Radiant Faith through President Maria or the four Holy Maidens. By then, she would not even know if she should laugh or cry.
“Cynthia, is this true? You’re not lying to me?”
“Bella, of course it is. Why would I lie to you? You can let go of me now. I will not tell anyone that you are a demon. In the future, we’ll just pretend to be strangers…”
“Don’t even think about it! Cynthia, since we have kissed, I will take full responsibility for you. Furthermore, I didn’t say that I was a demon. I am a Demon King, alright? Any girl that catches this Demon King’s fancy will never be let go. You are no exception to this rule!”
For a moment, Cynthia felt completely dominated by Bella. If Bella had been of the opposite sex, there was a possibility that she would have given in by now. As they were both girls, Cynthia was a little hesitant. Being so intimate with a girl was against the faith that she had believed in since she was a child.
“Your Excellency… could you allow me to think about…”
“No way, Cynthia. What are you still confused about? Don’t you want your freedom back? Do you wish to be controlled by this spiritual imprint for the rest of your life? I can see it in your eyes that you crave freedom. I know you do.”1
“But I can’t. I cannot betray the Radiant Pope. I have the Radiant Faith…”
“Stop lying! You can’t even lie to my face, let alone to your own heart. Besides, the only reason you believe in the Radiant God is because of the spiritual imprint. Without it, can you guarantee that your faith will still be in the Radiant God?”
The basis of Cynthia’s faith had been completely disrupted by Bella’s words. Admittedly, it was Bella, the Demon King’s skilled as a “psychic”. In the most roundabout way, Bella had managed to cause Cynthia, the Radiant Church’s most determined and faithful follower, to waver in her beliefs.
Cynthia had begun to doubt her own faith. In her heart, she did agree with what Bella had said. Who knew? Maybe it was true that she only believed in the Radiant God because of the spiritual imprint. Could it be inevitable that she would fall?
