Chapter 144 (2/2)
She handed me a letter.
“What’s this?”
“After that bird creature flew away, I discovered this left behind in the room.”
It was a piece of paper folded over three times.
It’s nothing of mine. I glanced over at Sophia who was trembling in the corner. She didn’t seem to recognize it and shook her head slightly.
“I see.”
It seems like we didn’t need to search outside.
“Let’s see what it says.”
“Yeah.”
I gently unfolded the paper.
The contents of the letter weren’t far from my expectations. It said they have the knight. If we wish to see him returned unharmed, the imperial knight and the yellow man are to go to the designated meeting place in the capital alone. If anyone else shows up or we inform the guards, the knight will be killed.
“W-What does it say!?”
Ester-chan looked desperate.
She was turning pale after using flight magic for so long.
“It looks like they’re calling Mercedes-san and me out.”
“Eh? Why you? Why wouldn’t they ask for me?”
I can understand why she’d think that.
However, there’s only one reason that comes to mind for why they’d be calling me out. And that same reason applies to the Imperial Lesbian. I could feel her staring at me and a cold sweat began to form on my neck. Don’t say anything. Please, don’t say anything. Don’t do it.
They can’t know about it.
“We don’t have any choice but to follow their instructions.”
“right.”
“It’s a bit sudden, but I’ll go.”
“T-Then, I’ll come with you!”
“If anyone else comes, they said they’ll kill Allen. I can understand your feelings, but leave this to me and her. I promise I’ll bring him back safely.”
“.”
After telling her directly that she can’t come, she looked disappointed.
The loli bitch has been defeated.
Still, I’m sorry she has to wait here.
“Mercedes-san.”
“Right.”
The Imperial Lesbian followed me out of the dorm.
It was already late at night, but the day still had yet to end.
Why did that bird take Allen anyway? The letter described Allen so whoever took him must’ve been watching us. That means they decided specifically to take Allen even though the room was filled with daughters from rich noble families and even Ester-chan.
I don’t expect this to end well.
***
The place the letter instructed us to go to was only a few minutes away on foot.
“This must be it.”
The Imperial Lesbian looked at the building in front of us with a serious expression.
It was located in one of the slums in Kalis. This would be the perfect place for a criminal to hide. The building was made entirely of stone and was likely to remain standing for some time.
However, the surrounding buildings were wooden and falling apart. To me, it seems like this place will continue to decline until this country is no more.
“Should we go in?”
“Yeah.”
We nodded to each other and took a step into the house.
Then, the moment we entered the building, a voice could be heard.
“Oho~, you’re here early.”
It was the voice of a woman. As my eyes adjusted to the dark room, I quickly scanned the area.
Just past the entryway, I could see the figure of a woman. She was standing in a corner, wearing a robe, calmly leaning against the wall. Her large robe cast a shadow across her face. I could make out her slim nose and bright-red lipstick.
Despite the baggy robe, I could clearly see that her body was curvy in all the right places. Her body may even be better than Mercedes-chan’s. It’s like those Brazilian girls I’ve seen in certain magazines.
However, due to the lack of light, I couldn’t fully enjoy the shape of her body.
“Was it you? The one who called us here.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
She gave a calm response to my question.
At least it seems we’re in the right place.
By the way, what is that thing hanging beside her? It’s tied up with a rope that’s wrapped around one of the beams in the ceiling. It would occasionally twitch whenever the robed woman touched it. I can’t tell what it is but I have a bad feeling.
“Excuse me, but I’m going to make some light.”
Without waiting for her approval, I threw a fireball out that remained suspended just above my head.
In the next moment, the identity of the tied up object was revealed.
It was a completely naked man, bound by rope. The rope was pulled tight in his mouth and he was unable to speak. He was bent backwards in a shape that resembled a shrimp. The rope wrapped around his torso then went up and was secured to a support beam.
And this position created a rather large emphasis on the thing sticking out from below his waist.
“Allen.”
“Mmgh. Mm, mmmhmm.”
The ikemen moaned with pleasure whenever the robed woman ran her hands across his body.
“Oho~, you noticed.”
Now that the room was lit up, she wrapped an arm around Allen and pulled him in close.
Why is she doing this? Is this supposed to be torture? Can’t she tell by how erect he is that he’s enjoying it? Seriously, Allen, I don’t think I can get anymore envious of you.
“I kidnapped him to lure you here, but he wouldn’t be quiet so I had to tie him up. Personally, I prefer them a little younger, but a man like this can be good from time to time. Besides, he is a knight, so at least his body is nice.”
“.”
“Fufu~, despite his age, he even made my heart throb a little. Of course, I didn’t do anything else to him. The rope may be a little tight but it will only leave him with a few scratches. His life isn’t in any danger. I promise.”
Seriously? Nothing about this situation makes me think his life is in any danger.
“If you listen to what I have to say, I’ll release him as soon as we’re done here. I think it’s something you’ll want to hear anyway. As two people that were in prison during the escape, I know you’ll want to hear what I have to say.”
“I guess we have no choice.”
Damn that ikemen. His pole is sticking out right next to this woman’s face. I want to know what it feels like cumming inside a woman after she reverse rapes me. How envious can I be of one man?
“Which of you is the recovery magic user? Please, tell me.”
“Why do you want to know?”
“The people that escaped from prison, including me, have decided to join together. In the near future, we’re planning on leaving the Penny Empire. Of course, we don’t have many people, but we thought if we had the source of that mysterious healing we all received in the prison, we’d have a better chance of escaping.”
