"I-" Yannika actually thought about the demon's offer and felt ashamed of herself because of it. She would never allow Carius to be compromised no matter how much it may have helped her. "No. Carius will come to the right decision in his own time. No matter how expedient you might be able to make the situation, I must and will trust him." When the maid returned Yannika thanked her and rose from the tub. She had matters to attend to and set about getting dressed. Once she finished, she left the palace for the cathedral.
{That's evil plot twist} Elena's heels clicked, as she was being led by the leash through the mansion with her arms tied behind her back. Her breasts jumped with each of her steps, new studs prominently displayed, her new branding clearly visible for all. She walked with her back straight, a sway of her hips, chest pushed slightly forward, the rope coiled around her breasts emphasising them. She could feel the eyes of servants and heard their whispers - their plans for her. It made her wet. But to her surprise, her shocks did not end with her branding. Elena swallowed as she looked at the women - thankfully, there was no chair for her. Maybe the two were the reward - she hoped - instead of being brainwashed. And if they wanted to brainwash her, maybe they wanted only to change her sexual reactions. Those were the thoughts, that were on the surface of her mind. Underneath, she had some other thoughts. The entire act, till now, was worth the knowledge, that Van Dorn was actively brainwashing people. That was enough of a reason, to take the family down. She scanned Lady's Van Dorn mind. "Who..." Elena swallowed. "Who are they?" She asked hotly, then moaned lightly, as from behind, Lady Van Dorn, slipped her finger's into Elena's pussy and started thrusting, stimulating her.
The group stands. "Oh, our bond will be very strong." Xi Fei grins, taking Verner's arm, as Alexandros and Jeryn look around, trying to find Lian, who darted away while the men were arguing over who gets first dibs on her.
Izzy shrugs. "Option's on the table..." In the lavish chamber of the Grand Cathedral she visited before, the cardinal awaits Yannika. "My daughter." He smiles, holding out a ringed finger for her to kiss, as he looks at her cleavage. "Why have you come to me this day? To talk about Lave V? I felt your approach was a little...soft, but if the heretics have returned to the fold, your methods are of little relevance."
"They're my husband's former whores." Lady Van Dorn grins, curling her finger to find Elena's g-spot. "One was a minor noble, the other an undercover intelligence agent, I believe. Unlike you, they asked for anaesthetic when they were branded. You can see the results."
'Good, let's hope it will be an uneventful week,' Xavier said, 'I'll be in my ready room.' He headed to the small office adjacent to the bridge and started reading fleet reports for the remainder of his command shift.
"Fufu. Lovely. All I ask is you don't over do it. We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow." Vizelle cooed as she leaves, "Oh, and I don't suppose there are bed rooms in this casino, is there?"
"Ah~" Elena moaned, arching as Lady Van Dorn pushed her g-spot. Her pussy clenched eagerly on the woman's fingers. So the reward was seeing what she avoided. She could accept that with a relief. "Wha-ah, what will you with them-uh!" She moaned lustfully, as she was getting closer to climax. The MILF grinned as she put her hand around Elena's shoulder and started toying with her nipple. But then... another thought came to Elena. If that was what the women done with those poor sluts... "Wha-at! Do you, intend to-ohhh, do with mee!" Elena clenched her teeth as a small orgasm rocked her body. She breathed heavily, as she rode the afterglow- "Ah!" She moaned again, as Lady Van Dorn's fingers continued exploring her, relentlessly.
"Your Eminence" Yannika greeted the man with a curtsy before she kissed his ring. She didn't mind his staring at her cleavage, in fact she took a small amount of pride in it and shifted her stance to make her breasts more pronounced. "You assume correct. I wanted to bring your attention to the Archbishop and Cardinal whom the people of Lave V contacted about their bishop's impropriety. Should you wish to set a harsher standard, I submit to you that they should be punished for their inaction." Yannika debated with herself for a moment before she continued in a quieter voice. "I also wished to inform you of the treachery of the Emperor's confessor. Both I and Mother Elena of the Order of the Jade Moon learned of the woman's plot to eliminate us. When we returned the woman was taken into custody and interrogated where it was revealed this was, in fact, the case. The Emperor sentenced her to death, but was emotionally devastated by this. He trusted her." she said the last with a tinge of sadness in her voice before she shoved that aside. "I counseled and consoled him, but you said you wished to know of his thoughts and I agreed." She bit her lip in nervous excitement. "Further, I've exposed to him our true connection, and he has taken it remarkably well. W-" Yannika couldn't keep a smile from her face. "we made love Your Eminence. I even broached the subject of marriage with him and he is receptive to it. Things-" she couldn't quite stifle a giddy laugh "things have gone better than I ever could have hoped. I was hoping to inquire about my dismissal from the church as we previously discussed."
Arkhis first inspects the noose, before looking around the entire apartment, partly to see if the killer used rope found on the scene, partly to see if there are any other clues left lying around. He'll also check the dead man's terminal.
“Not everyone will see it that way... but anyway, what do you plan to do with the mechs once you have worked out all the kinks so that they can be used reliably?” Eanne asked, curious to see how far ahead the professor had thought.
"Of course." Xi Fei nods. "The more time people spend here, the more money they spend. I'll have the guards lead you up to one of the nicer ones."
"When their training is complete," the younger Van Dorn moves to Elena's front, taking hold of the nipple studs and twisting violently, "we'll put them in your Order. A fine gift, right? They can serve all your needs." And spy on the Jade Rose, Elena notes. With a brush of her hand, Lady Van Dorn dismisses the servants, inserting a finger in Elena's ass after the door closes behind them. "You're going to continue to be my husband's pet..." She finger fucks Elena's ass, adding a second finger, and then a third. "Only, you're going to tell me all the juicy things he has to say, aren't you?" Her voice is full of implicit threat.
The cardinal slips a hand around her waist, guiding her to a plush seat. "My dear, the archbishop and my fellow cardinal were merely...mistaken. Punishment would be inappropriate. Instead, they'll pray for their sins." The fat clergyman smiles, casually touching her thigh as he takes a seat beside her, and beams as he's told about the confessor. "So, Cardinal Delenaga's favourite protege has been sentenced to death, eh? Wonderful news..." The cardinal takes the news in stride, apparently relating it to church politics. When she mentions her night with the emperor, Yannika thinks that the cardinal might jump with joy, his smile broadening even wider, and his grip on her thigh tightening. "Good...Good... You'd have gone far in the church, it's a shame to lose you... But, you can serve us better as empress..." He chuckles, standing. The cardinal walks to a cabinet, opening it and withdrawing a jar containing a clear liquid. "I'd be more than happy to release you, but there's preparations that must be made, first. Even with a holy woman as his wife, he might still be lured by the temptations and traps of this world. I need you to stay close to him, and slip some of this in his drinks. It will ensure that he remains a...obedient servant of the church." Across the room, Izzy crosses her arms, furrowing her brow. "Oh, so mind control is bad when I want to do it, but not when the church wants to?"
"Ahh!" Elena moaned as the young woman twisted her nipple. A moan changed into a whimper as the woman continued twisting violently. Her breast nicely fit into hands of a younger woman, and she started groping two globes. Elena moaned, her body shaking from pleasure as the MILF started inserting fingers into her back entrance. She arched as they went deeper. "Yessss Ma'ammm" She moaned out. "If I survive what you have in store for me~" She moaned as her body shook from pleasure. "Good girl." Lad Van Dorn said as she gave Elena's cheek a lick. Elena licked her lips. "But, weren't you going to punish me... for sleeping with your husband?" She asked hotly, her voice coated with need.
Looking around, Arkhis finds no trace of anything in the apartment the rope could come from, indicating that either the victim or the potential killer brought it from elsewhere. Checking the rooms, he finds feminine items, probably belonging to the victim's girlfriend, as well as some dataslates belonging to Ventris Van Dorn, the victim's brother. Xandra points out scuff marks on the floor, from large armoured boots, probably from an alien, and a big one at that. The background check on Anselm Van Dorn didn't indicate any relationships he has with aliens of that size. The terminal, for now, is locked securely, with top end encryption software, not surprising for someone as high up as him.
"Well, ideally..." Isabella begins, "We'd be exclusively manufacturing them for the Empire, and they could decide how to use them. Of course, if we're not sufficiently funded, we might need to sell them to other parties, to make up the difference..."
Van Dorn's daughter begins to bite roughly at Elena's nipples, as Lady Van Dorn begins to use her whole fist. "Indeed... You've been a naughty little slut, especially given that you're from the Church..."
Elena arched, climaxing, as an entire fist disappeared in her ass. She squealed as her breasts were being abused. "Su-surely, you have... ah~ something... more sophisticat-ted, Ahm~ in mind..." She started. "After, all... the uh! Lord said clearly! Ag! To do the worst~uhmm~ to me~" She all but taunted the women. She arched in another climax, as Lady Van Dorn's hand danced inside her. Her breasts jumped with each of her twitch, as the young woman was toying with them.
