51. The Suffering of Maid Annie
“No! Stop, stop—!!”
“It hurts! It hurts! Make it stop—!!”
“Princess, please! Save me… Save me… Uguwaaa—!!”
Deep inside the imperial palace, the underground dungeon had become the gateway to hell. Commander Kakuda’s vengeful soul burned with rage, and the Revolutionary soldiers performed tortures on the palace maids and Amazon female warriors that defied imagination.
Red-hot iron rods, branding irons, and hot spoons glowed inside the furnace, occasionally sending up the acrid smell of burning flesh along with screams. Chains with cuffs hung from every wall. Naked beauties struggled desperately against them, knowing escape was impossible. Strange torture instruments of every shape lay on an old desk. Among them was a vaginal speculum, originally a medical device for childbirth, now repurposed by Kakuda and his men as an interrogation tool.
They forced the labia apart to their limit and poured hot water or live reptiles into the vagina, turning the Amazon warriors into shrieking hellish cries. The dungeon was a veritable hell of agony.
Red stains were already spreading across the walls and floor. From the palace maids, Sophia desperately looked away and refused to listen to their desperate screams.
Many of the knights and close female attendants who had already been tortured may have died screaming in agony on the rack. Sophia’s single word could have saved them.
“I will tell you where the Jade Seal is.”
Sophia refused to give up the Jade Seal no matter how many Amazon warriors’ lives were demanded in exchange.
Even when Kakuda threatened to kill the Queen and her younger sisters if she did not speak, she stubbornly refused his demands.
“What a heartless princess! You don’t feel any pain at all, sacrificing all these girls! You inhuman monster!”
While whipping the strong, naked Amazon female warriors hanging from the walls, Kakuda roared, sending blood spraying everywhere.
“They will understand. The imperial symbol, the Jade Seal, is the last hope. If they die for the empire, they will welcome it.”
With a strong will in her sapphire eyes, Sophia glared up at Kakuda.
“What a disaster. The poison of the feudal society has reached this point. It’s no wonder the peasants rose up. Henry Darger, what should we do?”
“I, a genius psychologist, have already figured out how to break the princess. But not yet.”
“Why not?”
“Because there are so many beautiful girls here. I can torture them freely. Look at their suffering faces — what a wonderful sight this world has never seen. Watch their bare toes twitching in pain while they hang. It’s pure art!”
Kakuda shouted with ecstatic excitement.
“Well, if Henry has a solution, I’ll enjoy the torture a little longer too.”
Kakuda snapped his fingers. His trusted subordinate ran to another room. Soon a red-haired girl with shoulder-length hair and large breasts was dragged in on all fours, collared and chained like a dog.
“Annie!”
Sophia’s cry made Annie instinctively try to stand, but the chains from her cuffs and ankle shackles prevented her. The soldiers yanked the collar, forcing her to fall and crawl on all fours. Her plump flower petals peeked out from beneath her white ass.
“You’re no longer a human. You’re a livestock slave now. You don’t need to stand on two legs.”
A soldier sneered.
“Ah… please… Annie is my maid. Let her go…”
Unlike the previous Amazon warriors, who had always been beside her, Annie was the only person Sophia trusted. They had been close since childhood, sometimes sharing the same bed.
“She’s different from the others. Fine, I’ll save Annie too. Tell me where the Jade Seal is, and I’ll let you go.”
“N-No…”
Sophia lowered her eyes, at a loss for words. She wanted to save her only friend Annie, but she could not hand over the empire’s final symbol to these monsters.
“Princess, please don’t mind me. I don’t want you to be forced into this. No matter what they do to me… Uguwaa—!!”
Annie screamed. The smell of burning flesh rose with the hiss of the branding iron touching her bare ass.
“You’re surprisingly brave. You’re willing to endure anything to protect your princess. I like that. The more you struggle, the more I’ll enjoy it. Brace yourself.”
Kakuda pulled the branding iron away from Annie’s white ass. The mark “Slave” had already been burned into her flawless skin.
“An-Anii…”
Annie winced in shock and pain.
“Ah… How cruel… Annie, endure it. For the empire, no matter what they do to you now, you must not yield to these beasts. That is the loyalty and pride of an imperial noble.”
“Y-Yes…”
“Let’s see how much loyalty and pride you have.”
Kakuda gave the signal. The soldiers stripped Annie of her collar and laid her naked on a stone slab, spreading her limbs wide and locking her wrists and ankles to the four corners.
“Ah… What are you doing?”
The once-proud girl now looked like an innocent eighteen-year-old girl, terrified.
“Don’t worry. We’ll have a lot of fun. Plenty of it. Enough to drive you crazy.”
Kakuda’s eyes were those of a beast staring at its prey.
