Chapter 25 – 25. The Third Duke to Train the Duke’s Agents
– One –
The late summer heat has subsided.
Faced with the cooler evening breeze, Chiba and Regal were enjoying tea on the terrace.
In fact, her conversations with Chiba about her official duties at Regal equated her purpose to educate her as her advisor with her purpose to secure her affection.
So, their conversation was kind, but at the same time it contained weight.
“It looks like some stupid contestant leaked information about Eros Paradise to the imperial aristocrats.”
“Oh, it’s coming as expected by the girl.”
They were talking about the events that had shaken the political world of the Empire over the past few months and the political maneuvers they had performed.
Regal hates idiots.
He was a person who felt extremely tired from the sudden actions of idiots who lacked justification and principles of action.
So, right after the fall of the Saint Women’s faction, he was angry with the Imperial faction for putting the brakes on the enforcement of the ban on marriage between different species without any warning.
“However, there is only a slight delay in the implementation of the law. The faction of saints has also fallen, and they have no justification to stop the implementation of the already passed law. So, the enforcement of the law is only a matter of time.”
“The girl’s thoughts are the same. My regal, my husband, everything in this world will be owned by the husband’s will.”
However, Regal did not stop at simply expressing his anger.
With Chiba’s help, he quickly regained his senses and began analyzing the cause and discussing countermeasures.
Upon learning the cause, Regal regained his cool, and was able to continue the discussion with Chiba.
“My wife, what do you think the next move of the imperial faction will be?”
“They will be very clear that any action to prevent the enactment of the bill is a meaningless delay.”
“I guess so.”
Since the Imperial faction is moderately competent, their thinking generally follows rational judgment.
So, the actions of the emperor’s faction were hardly out of the scope of Regal’s prediction.
That’s why Regal couldn’t abandon the idea of using them.
“But the girl sees that their purpose is to delay time itself.”
“I agree. So what do you think they’ll be doing to buy their time?”
“Perhaps I will choose a representative who will become the focal point to fight against my wife and receive the blessings of the goddess.”
“Who do you think will be your representative?”
“I think the Marquis of Baptiste Camus is the most powerful.”
“What do you think?”
“Possible figures for the focal point include the emperor, crown prince, clergy, and imperial aristocrats. However, it is practically impossible for the emperor to participate at this point because he cannot abandon his maternal family in order to maintain the empire. Also, Prince Kanin is 12 years old. “I am a bloody child who is nothing but a bloody child. And if he becomes the next great emperor, he too must carefully select his maternal family and run the empire. Of course, the clergy are excluded. In that case, only the emperor’s nobles remain.”
“I agree. Except for the Marquis of Caymus, the head of the imperial faction, no one else can be the focal point. That position is not simply the focal point, but wouldn’t that position require the ability and dignity to confront me? But I bet he’s not all.”
A puzzled look appeared on Chiba’s face.
“For two or more of them to become the focal point of the imperial faction, they must form a perfect alliance between them, but since they are nobles, wouldn’t it be impossible? “Yes, but don’t all the loyalty of the imperial aristocrats go exclusively to the emperor? It’s hard for a girl to see that a relationship that will never betray them can be established between them.”
“Madam. Think about it. I will give you one clue. They only delay the bill, and they have given us the game of enactment itself as a stepping stone for the future.”
Chiba thought for a moment without saying anything.
“Ah! Are you saying you’re going to use the Marquis of Caymus as a scarecrow?”
“You reasoned correctly. Didn’t your wife already point it out correctly? You say that the loyalty of the imperial faction goes to the emperor. Then, of course, their focal point could be the next emperor as well. The current emperor cannot throw away his mother’s family now. So, shouldn’t Crown Prince Kanin be the final pivot?”
Regal took a sip of her tea and looked into Chiba’s eyes, where lust was deep within.
“If you enjoy eternal life, just like we do, to a ruler, an heir is just another name for a competitor. Therefore, if Crown Prince Kanin, who has obtained eternal life, can become competent enough to carry out the duties of the emperor himself, then there will be a maternal line to produce a stable successor. There is no need to endure the loss of handing over a certain portion of power to him.”
“I think they intend to delay the enforcement of the law first to buy time, and then to use the Marquis of Caymus as a shield to buy time next. It was calculated that this would give the crown prince enough time to grow up. I’m sorry.”
“And why don’t you go behind the scenes to select the Crown Princess among sub-species?”
“Even if you don’t want to involve the prince’s concubine, your husband’s prediction must have come true.”
Chiba took a sip of the tea that had cooled down from the long conversation and quenched his throat.
“So, are you saying that they are already preparing for a situation in which the number of participants will not increase after the statute has already been enforced and will remain on standby for a long time, perhaps forever?”
“It must be. In my experience, they are not so incompetent as to foresee it.”
“Then, how would you like your husband to do this?”
She radiated her poison to Regal.
Regal drank her chilled tea water as a refreshment to her vicious mind.
The flavor of the refreshments Chiba gave him was quite plausible.
– 2 –
The busiest person in Whisky Kimun is probably the butler.
It was extremely rare that he personally greeted guests or prepared refreshments.
However, he oversees and is responsible for the butlers under his command, and at the same time serves him as Regal’s personal secretary.
That’s why, since joining Regal, she has been having the busiest time of the year.
“How is the collection of the specimens going?”
“It’s sluggish. The whereabouts of No. 3 and No. 7 are still unknown. Also, the whereabouts of No. 20, who were being tracked, are also unclear. However, No. 16 is presumed to be acting as a mercenary in the outskirts after washing his identity. Currently, it is estimated that No. 16 is No. 16. We are conducting inspections on those who become.”
“It’s a lot of trouble.”
The butler bowed his head and returned Regal’s congratulations.
“In addition, the brainwashing and dark imprinting of the 3 prototypes has been completed, and the escape prevention treatment has been completed. Currently, verification of the stabilization status is in progress.”
“When do you think we’ll see each other?”
“Researchers report that all work is expected to be completed by the end of the year.”
“You should give them a reward too.”
“They’ll all be happy.”
Regal had big hands.
He was strict on personal injury and punishment, and was especially generous with rewards.
That’s why, among the researchers who participated in his inhumane experiments, not a single one has yet left.
They were all people who gave up their humanity to get rich.
“Additionally, we have recruited all participants from Issues 21 to 26.”
“Is it because of the emperor faction’s containment?”
“That’s right. The Emperor faction’s checks were too strong to enforce the abduction, so I approached them legally. I offered them all to become vassals, and when they promised the best treatment that a commoner could not imagine, they quickly accepted the appointment.”
“How do you plan to proceed in the future?”
The butler swallowed a little dry saliva.
“After training based on family support, I told them that I was going to become an operative under Her Majesty. Basic training is currently underway, and I am assisting with the development of the phase of this ability. We plan to recycle them as test subjects. Those who have developed unnecessary or unhelpful abilities will be disposed of.”
“Proceed as per the pending issue. Please proceed with the report on the bloomed abilities of each test subject.”
“All right.”
Regal rose from her chair in the office.
The butler followed and asked him.
“Where can I take you?”
“Let’s head to the lab.”
“Are you going to monitor the progress of the current experiment?”
“That’s right.”
“Prepare in advance, I will tell you.”
“Let it be.”
After calling the butler and notifying them of the inspection, they moved to the laboratory.
– 3 –
Among the researchers in blue coats, there were those with sturdy physiques in dark leather clothes.
They were operatives under the family sent by Regal to assist or replace the researchers when they needed to use physical force.
“Lee, Regal…! I will definitely kill you!
Puck!
When a male test subject spewed curses at Regal and went on a rampage, the operatives beat him down and subdued him.
“Your Highness will be inspecting it, so take a sedative beforehand.”
“All right.”
As if it were a normal thing, the researchers didn’t even show any reaction.
“Your Highness has arrived.”
“Okay.”
Those in blue gowns all stood up from their seats and tidied their clothes.
However, there were a lot of dark red stains drawn with blood all over the blue gown, so it couldn’t be cleaned very well.
“There are a lot of hardships.”
“No. Did you receive a progress report from the butler?”
“I was only informed of the production status of the prototype.”
“Then, can I report what I have verified through the initial test subjects?”
“That’s right.”
“Okay. Come this way.”
They turned the corner and entered the deepest research wing.
Ugh-hug-hug-hug.
They walked out of the door into a strange room with regular mechanical sounds.
“My, please let me go, haha!”
A woman was left in the room, tied to a restraining chair, for an inconceivably long time.
She lay stretched out in a restraining chair, her limbs bound by appendages extending from her chair.
Her arms were stretched out from side to side, and her hips were raised high toward the sky.
The legs were wide open to the left and right, and the neck, wrists, and ankles were tied to the attachments of the restraint chair with soft but non-elastic straps.
“No one there, ugh! No, ugh!”
Her eyes were covered with an eyepatch, and her eardrums had ruptured, and her blood flowed down from her ear hole and hardened.
Her external stimuli given to her were only touch and pain.
No, as she swallowed the blood that burst and flowed through her chewed mouth and sore mouth, she might even be tasting it.
Perhaps she could smell the foul smell of the filth she had collected and the spilled blood with her sense of smell.
But as she struggled to accommodate the pain and touch sensations that continually renewed her threshold for external stimuli, it seemed that all other senses entangled in them had been buried.
“Flee, anh, chi, uhhhhh!”
A large dildo was embedded in her penis, connected to a mechanical magic tool that operated with a piston.
The giant dildo was constantly rotating counterclockwise and reciprocating back and forth.
Hong hong hong!
Tingling, clatter, clatter.
Whoa!
Magic tools that generate electrical stimulation were attached to sensitive and tender skin such as her breasts, belly, and inner thighs.
Fijijijijijik!
Paperweight!
Stuck in her anus was a tentacle-like magic tool that squirmed wildly.
The appearance of the magic tool stuck in her anus was no different from the tentacle of a deep-sea creature, but there was a precision machine inside, and the sound of small bearings constantly spinning could be heard.
Weing, weing, weing, weing!
Her nipples and clitoris had tiny cups that sucked in air and vibrated.
It was a strange sight, like a breast pump attached to a woman who couldn’t even breastfeed.
Chuuuuu, food!
Fuchuuuuu!
I don’t know how long all those instruments worked continuously.
However, her sore, swollen, and reddish skin proved that she was suffering from a tremendous sense of pain disguised as her pleasure.
“Uhh, uhhh, uhhh! Kyaaaaagh!”
Pushy Sisit!
All right.
“Sorry, Your Highness. Dirty things may splatter when you get close to the test subject.”
Although she was incontinent in her pain, no one was agitated.
She was indifferent, as if she were watching not the same person, but something that molded her mysterious mass of organic matter into a human form.
Researchers may have such apathetic reactions because they have long been blunted by the routine of the subject.
But the fact that Regal, who had seen her like this for the first time today, watched her and showed no agitation, no excitement, no anger, no sadness from her, her butler sent chills down her spine.
He knew he was like that, but what he actually witnessed came as a bit of a shock to him.
“That’s-“
Regal hesitated for a moment as he pointed to her.
“The experiment to verify what? Isn’t it a meaningless experiment to simply torture the test subject?”
His voice was so calming.
“Article 8, an experiment to verify the mechanism by which a penalty occurs when having sex with another member of the opposite sex.”
“Is this an experiment conducted to verify the extent to which sexual relations are defined?”
“That’s right.”
“Why are you doing such an unnecessary experiment? No, it doesn’t mean that the verification itself is unnecessary. In order to verify Article 8, shouldn’t the test subject mate with a human or another animal?”
To Regal’s question, the researcher answered without hesitation.
“We definitely needed to verify to what level we interpret it as sex with a person other than a spouse.”
“Why did you think so?”
“Using Article 8 is the easiest and most effective way to incapacitate participants without seeing blood, or to intimidate and coax them.
“Indeed…!”
Regal couldn’t help but admire the researchers’ spirit of inquiry.
“Let me report the details.”
With the background sound of her blindfolded and deaf woman wailing in her pain and pleasure, the researcher proudly reported, and the regal listened with satisfaction.
The head butler couldn’t possibly look at them directly, so he pretended to be tired and gently closed her eyes to turn away.
By doing so, the butler was able to take a small piece of comfort and self-justification.
