Dazed and confused, Cornelia's memory was still stuck on that night two days ago. She dreamed that her companions were being defeated one by one by that terrifying man, and then Father Gozuki was killed by that devil while trying to save them!
Finally, Akame, Tsukushi, Poney, and herself, all sisters, became captives of this demon. He tortured and abused them endlessly until…
"No!!!"
"Ha… Ha…"
Suddenly opening her eyes, her face pale, her forehead and back soaked in cold sweat, Cornelia gasped for breath.
"Thank goodness, it was just a dream…"
Looking around, she found herself in a luxurious room, lying on a soft, comfortable bed. She sighed in relief, feeling fortunate.
But suddenly—
"Ah…"
A familiar man's low groan, seemingly tinged with a strange excitement, came from not far away!
Quickly turning her gaze in that direction, Cornelia's heart tightened again, for the man was none other than the Empire's strongest general, Sora!
Instinctively, she wanted to struggle, but for some reason, her body wouldn't obey!
And that wasn't the most concerning part. What shocked Cornelia was what she saw—a woman with long, water-blue hair, dressed in a pure white, cute maid outfit, was kneeling before Sora, doing… doing…
As a female assassin, Father Gozuki had given her and her sisters information in this area, so Cornelia naturally knew what they were doing! Her small, cherry-red mouth opened wide, and her beautiful face turned bright red…
"Bad boy, why are you taking so long? My jaw is almost numb!"
Sitting up on the bed, Martha wiped away the remnants of white liquid from the corner of her mouth, rubbing her cheeks while complaining to Sora.
"Hehehe… It's because your skills aren't quite there yet! But you're improving quickly. With a bit more practice, it won't be like this."
Sitting up, Sora smirked.
From "Master" to "Bad Master," and now even dropping the "Master" part, Sora knew this cunning woman's little tricks, but he didn't mind. As long as she obeyed, he didn't care how she addressed him.
"Little girl over there, peeking at others' private moments isn't very moral, you know?"
Turning his gaze to Cornelia, who was pretending to sleep, Sora smiled meaningfully.
"I wasn't… You… You're shameless!!!"
Instinctively opening her eyes to defend herself, Cornelia suddenly realized she'd been tricked. Overwhelmed with shame and anger, she glared at Sora and Martha.
"Hehehe, Cornelia, I never thought you, the mature and steady big sister that Poney and the others rely on, would show such an expression. It's really cute!"
Pressing down on the girl, Martha used her hair to tickle Cornelia while laughing.
"Mm… Stop it! Who… Who are you?!"
Struggling to endure the strange sensations, Cornelia wished she could kick this annoying woman away. But her body seemed to have been tampered with—she could feel everything but couldn't move.
Moreover, what puzzled Cornelia was that this woman felt strangely familiar, especially her voice. Yet, Cornelia was certain she had never met this despicable person before!
"Yare yare, even Akame recognizes me, but Cornelia doesn't. I'm so hurt!"
"Martha, I'm Martha from the village's general store. I even took care of you back then!"
Sora's mouth twitched as he watched this mischievous woman unleash her dark side, feeling utterly speechless.
"No way! How could you be here? And your appearance…"
Like Akame before her, Cornelia was shocked and incredulous. The girl didn't yet know that Martha was Akame's original assassination target. If she knew, she'd be even more surprised!
"Well, it's a long story. You'll find out eventually."
"Since you're awake now, Akame should be waking up soon too. Hehehe, compared to Cornelia, I'm still more interested in Akame!"
Stopping her teasing, Martha stood up, kissed Sora on the cheek, and then skipped off to the other room.
…
Martha had just left, but Cornelia's body was once again taken over by someone else. Looking at the handsome face with a hint of wicked charm so close to her, even in this dangerous situation, Cornelia couldn't help but feel a momentary daze.
The Grand General, the strongest in the empire, and so young and handsome—his status, position, strength… So many advantages combined in one person. It could be said that this man was the standard of a prince charming in the hearts of any young girl on the continent.
Cornelia admitted that deep down, she did feel a slight flutter. However, compared to that slight flutter, what she felt more was shame and anger!
Because this guy was not her friend, but her enemy!
"Hmm… What did you do to me? Let me go now!"
For the first time being in such close contact with the opposite sex, Cornelia couldn't help but let out a soft moan. Knowing that her body must have been tampered with by the guy in front of her, she spoke with a face full of shame and anger.
"Hehe, that's really a pity. I won't let you go now, beautiful Cornelia-chan."
"At least, not until you submit!"
Biting the girl's earlobe and whispering softly, every time he saw these pure girls showing such shy expressions, it gave Sora a strange sense of enjoyment.
"You… You bastard! I will never submit to you!"
Her face already crimson, the girl's emerald eyes glared at Sora with intense hatred.
"Heh… Is that so?"
"But don't worry, you will submit, I guarantee it!"
With an evil smile, Sora had absolute confidence in his methods, after all, he had thousands of practical experiences!
Turning her head to the side was the most Cornelia could do at this moment. The girl thought to herself that she had received so much training from her father since childhood, and she would not submit, so what could he do to her?!
It was also at this time that Cornelia noticed that Tsukushi and Poney were right beside her. Although they were still unconscious, they seemed to be fine.
Tsukushi was better off, with her hands clasped together, curled up on her side like a gentle little kitten, just like her personality, making people feel an irresistible sense of pity.
On the other side, Poney made Cornelia's heart ache!
This silly girl, who had always been a bit scatterbrained since childhood, was lying on her side in a "big" shape, snoring loudly, with drool at the corner of her mouth, probably dreaming of something wonderful, completely ruining the great image of a "lady"!
But then again, this girl was never close to being a lady in the first place…
Not seeing Akame, and according to what Martha had said earlier, Akame should be in the next room. Cornelia didn't know if she was okay or if she was being abused by that strange Martha…
Thinking of this, Cornelia couldn't help but feel a wave of worry.
However, the girl knew that she didn't have time to worry about others now, because the person who needed the most worry was herself!
Catching a glimpse of the slight curve at the corner of the man's mouth, Cornelia couldn't help but feel even more nervous.
Where would her fate lead her…
