Capítulo 34: The Iron wall strikes

Ariel, her body battered and bruised, lay helpless on the cold floor, while Victoria, her sword gleaming in the dim light, held it perilously close to Empress Florence's neck.

The sword that Victoria used was somewhat famous for being the ultimate weapon that took the lives of thousands of enemies, and just by seeing the blade, Florence understood how dangerous it was.

For some people, it looked like a sword, but Victoria herself always thought her sword was a spear since it was thrice the size of a normal sword.

Victoria's voice trembled with rage as she demanded, "Why, Florence? Why did you betray me and sleep with my son?"

Empress Florence, her eyes filled with fear and guilt, couldn't muster the strength to meet Victoria's gaze. She stammered, "I...I had no choice, Victoria. Listen to me!"

"How dare you betray me? You used your dirty old woman pussy to devour my handsome boy!" Victoria shouted in anger.

Ariel, though injured, chimed in weakly, "It was unavoidable, Lady Bloodborne. Her Majesty's actions were driven by desperation, not malice. She saved Oliver's life."

Victoria's grip on the sword tightened, her knuckles turning white. "Saved his life? Explain yourself, Florence!"

Florence swallowed hard, her voice trembling. "Oliver was drugged, Victoria. A dangerous plot against your family was set in motion, and I had to make a painful choice. I had to relieve him, otherwise, his blood vessels would have burst from the pressure."

Tears welled up in Florence's eyes as she continued, "I had to give in to the demands of the situation, or that would have killed Oliver. I couldn't bear to see your son die, Victoria."

Ariel added with a pained expression, "Empress had to play along to protect him, her son-in-law. It was a cruel game, and she was the pawn forced into it."

Victoria's sword wavered, her anger warring with understanding. She slowly lowered the blade, her gaze softening as the weight of the truth sank in.

"So what Oliver said was true. I thought he was being deceived by you a lot. Do you have any evidence to prove your claims? Or are you just trying to make me a fool?" Victoria questioned, her eyes still looking angered.

"Victoria believe me! I would never do such things, you know how much I love Oliver as my son, I had to" Florence kept talking, but Victoria quickly asked her to stop.

"Stop! I don't want to hear it," She shouted in anger. "Listen, nothing happened between you and Oliver. He got sick on that day and went home before the banquet ended and that's the end of the story."

Ariel knew this was all happening because Florence telling Oliver that she had to give him a blowjob, and she couldn't even imagine what would have happened if Lady Bloodborne knew that Florence stole her son's virginity.

But what they didn't know was that Oliver wasn't virgin at all, in fact, if he had been concious that day, he would willingly had sex with Florence since he found her attractive.

They didn't know that Oliver was not the type of person they thought he was until after Victoria disappeared following her last campaign.

"Quickly bring me the culprit, who tried to drug my son, until then I won't go back to any of the campaigns," Victoria firmly declared. Empress swiftly understood that should she persist with this stance, her hard-earned reputation could rapidly crumble into nothingness.

Ariel was conflicted, knowing that if she snitched on Princess Raven right now, Victoria would either kill her or at least cut off one of her arms. So, she kept quiet since she wanted to discuss things with the Empress.

Her heart pounded in her chest as she watched Lady Victoria exit the room. The tension in the air was palpable, and the weight of her decision to remain silent hung heavily upon her.

Finally, Ariel spoke up, her voice trembling with uncertainty, "Empress, there's something I need to tell you. I've uncovered some information, but it's delicate."

Empress turned her attention to Ariel, her eyes narrowing. "Speak, Ariel. We need to know everything."

Ariel hesitated for a moment before revealing what she had learned about Princess Raven's involvement in the drugging incident and her suspicions. She knew the consequences of snitching on a member of the royal family could be severe, but the truth had to come out.

As Ariel finished recounting her findings, she could see the weight of the situation bearing down on the Empress. She held her head in her hands, clearly torn between her loyalty to her family and her duty to the empire.

She knew her second daughter trying to do something like this was entirely possible, since she had a crush on Oliver and always tried to break Lilith's relationship.

Ariel, feeling the burden of the truth, sighed and said, "I'll do whatever it takes to help you, Empress, even if it means getting my hands dirty."

Empress nodded in appreciation but could sense Ariel's inner turmoil. As Ariel left the room, she couldn't help but think about Oliver, his handsome features, and what he witnessed that day.

Ever since that day, she had been having wet dreams about how it would feel to have Oliver's gigantic cock inside her, but she knew as a mere head maid, dreaming about a noble son was just a dream.

*Tsk

"If he was a commoner, I would take him to myself. Well, I can convince my darling to have another man since he is loyal to me. After all, after touching that cock, I can't help but be unsatisfied by my husband," Ariel thought with a dirty smile on her face, but she felt disappointed knowing all of it would end up being a fantasy in the end.

After a few days of investigations, the situation brought Ariel, in pursuit of more information, approached a maid who had been present during the banquet. The maid looked nervous as Ariel questioned her, and eventually, the truth came tumbling out.

With tears in her eyes, the maid confessed that Princess Raven had indeed asked her to put drugs in Oliver's drinks. Ariel, knowing the maid was caught in a difficult position, offered a lifeline. She promised that if the maid cooperated and kept Raven's name a secret, the Empress would ensure her family's well-being, and she would bear the punishment alone.

Crying and relieved, the maid agreed to Ariel's terms, knowing she had no other choice.

As Ariel left the maid's presence, she couldn't help but reflect on the dirty work she was doing for the Empress. Yet, in the midst of her conflicted feelings, the feeling of being useful to both the royal family and the empire felt satisfying to her.

After a few days of Ariel's investigation, Victoria's eyes blazed with anger as she stood before the trembling maid, her sword drawn and ready to strike. The maid, tears streaming down her face, quivered under the weight of the impending doom. Oliver, standing beside Victoria, bore a dignified expression, his gaze locked onto the maid, his intuition whispering that something was amiss.

In a stern and commanding tone, Victoria demanded, "Tell me the truth. Who ordered you to drug Oliver's drink?"

The maid hesitated for a moment, her fear palpable, but then she stammered, "I... I did it on my own. I was attracted to Master Oliver, and I thought... I thought it would make him notice me. I wanted to have some time with him."

Oliver's eyes narrowed as he detected the falsehood in her words. He knew there was more to this than met the eye, and he exchanged a knowing glance with Ariel, who stood nearby, her expression conflicted.

Victoria, her anger mounting, raised her sword, ready to deliver swift justice angered by just imagining a mere maid trying to force herself on Oliver, but he acted swiftly, grabbing her arm to stop her. "Wait," he said calmly, surprising both Victoria and the maid.

"What did you find attractive in me? My face? My body or My noble title?" He got dangerously close to the maid and questioned.

Everyone was confused why he wanted to know something so trivial, but the maid quickly answered truthfully because even she could tell that, the man in front of her was not someone normal.

"Your face and body, my lord." Normally, if a maid said something like this in front of a noble son, she would be arrested for sexual harassment, but Oliver couldn't help but laugh hearing her words.

"Mother, let's take this one home." He said with a smile, as he looked at Victoria. "I hope you won't mind, Your Majesty."

For a moment, Victoria was conflicted but then she suddenly understood what his intentions were. Victoria already knew about Oliver's bad habit of seducing women like this, and she couldn't help but sigh.

In her mind, as long as Oliver seduced any woman, she would support it, but under the promise that he would do it all in front of her. After all, Oliver and Victoria had a rather interesting relationship that surpassed what mother and son should have.

'Well, we can throw her out, if she can't satisfy him. After all, I can't keep doing it with my own son, so a slave like her would be perfect to take his lust'

Ariel and Florence were confused about what they were going to do with the maid, but they were even more shocked when Oliver looked at them while Victoria was not looking at him and pointed at his cock and showed a grin.

"This kid! He is no joke," Florence muttered with her vagina twitching a little bit and knowing her daughter would have a hard time with this man.

But everything including Oliver's behaviour started to change when Victoria disappeared as he looked more rigid and serious every time.
