Chapter 173 – Episode 106 – The Knight Who Lost His Body

*All characters appearing are adults.
*This is a fictional story that is nothing but fiction. Never follow

“Are you kidding me right now?”

His daughter is Martina.
The knight Bellion longed for was his own daughter.
What nonsense are you talking about?
Bellion was very angry at the sound that didn’t even sound like words.

“This, this, that, that, that, even if you make it, doesn’t it make your last name better? Hey, you have to tease me like this, is your intuition going away?”
“I am not kidding. I was just telling the truth.”
“Geez, lie as much as I can! Tea, say you killed Martina!”

Definitely look alike
Martina’s body occupied by Camilla.
And Camilla’s second daughter looks exactly the same.
Rich black hair and red eyes.
Big breasts and fair skin.
And even a face without a single scar.
It is not strange to say that Martina has been reincarnated.

But it’s just a resemblance.
Just because she resembles her doesn’t mean she’s Martina.
Bellion assumed that Camilla had given her name, Martina, because her own daughter bore a striking resemblance to the knight who served Bellion.

“That, I just ate your knight’s soul. Oh, very good, they said it was delicious. Don’t insult me, me, or anyone else anymore!”
“Um, it’s true, but I can’t believe it.”

Camilla put on a slightly perplexed expression.

“Martina, you better talk to yourself…”
“…”
“Hurry.”

Camilla saw her second daughter and spoke to her, but her daughter was silent.
She is trembling with anxiety as she clenches her fist and repeats her piggy.
She was looking down at her floor with a somber expression on her face.
“You wanted to meet the princess again. Are you going to ignore me like this?”
“…”
“You haven’t forgotten what the princess said she would help you to be on our side, right?”
“… I haven’t forgotten.”
“Then do it quickly. No way, are you going to keep your eyes open and watch as your lord gets ruined as a knight?”
“… Ha.”

Her second daughter, Martina, who could no longer disobey her mother’s words, sighed and opened her mouth.

“All right. We’ll talk, mother.”

Do what her mother says.
Martina stepped in front of her princess.
With the etiquette she remembered in her head, she gracefully greeted Princess Bellion.

“Knight Martina. Greetings to Bellion, the first princess of the Dice Kingdom.”
“Geez, lie to me, come on. Everything, you, my knight, ah, no.”
“No, it’s true. This is Marnita, the knight who swore allegiance to you even though her body was like this.”
“Ooh, don’t be ridiculous! Um, have you been brainwashed by that woman? Everything, you are my horse, not Martina!”

Bellion strongly denied the princess.
Martina looked at the princess with a pitiful expression.

“I know it’s hard to believe. But it’s true. I was reborn as Camilla’s daughter.”
“Do you think I believe in you? That, that kind of thing, I can’t believe lies…”
“Then I will make you believe.”
“Uh? What are you doing…”

Martina climbed onto the bed.
With the momentum to attack her, she climbed on top of Bellion.
Bellion was greatly taken aback by the sudden situation.

“Wh, what are you trying to do?”
“I will show you my memories. For the dream demon, it is possible to show her memories to others.”

Dream Demons can show their memories to others.
You can experience your own memories.
You can feel all the emotions you were going through at the time.

For reference, Diana made a mass of tentacles using the ability of these dream demons.
A mass of tentacles containing the memories of all members of the expedition.
It can be said that it was all thanks to the dream demons that the mass of tentacles that Lilia used to experience the expedition’s past were created.

The way the dream demons show their memories is simple.

“Huh?”

To kiss.
A kiss conveys memories.
There was a reason why Martina suddenly pounced on Bellion’s lips.

“Huh? Whooooo!”

Her Bellion struggles, but Martina squeezes the back of her Bellion’s head with her left hand to immobilize it.
The other hand wrapped around the princess’ waist.
He pulled her closer and pressed her body tighter.
It’s like sharing a deep kiss like a lover.

“Whouuuuu…”

The struggle gets weaker and weaker.
Bellion, her limp body, fell in love with her kiss.
She left everything to Martina’s tongue playing with her own mouth.
Her bellion engulfed in her impermissible satiety as her Martina’s tongue licked her own.
A drip of love juice dripped between her crotch.

‘This, this…’

And Bellion saw it.

‘Battlefield? I must be in bed, what the…’

The place she could see before her eyes was the battlefield.
Black smoke rises everywhere, and the screams of the soldiers do not stop.
Bellion was greatly taken aback by the sudden change of location.

[Haunted has now become the land of our dreamers.]

I heard someone’s voice.
Bellion turned his head towards the voice.
A woman with blonde hair and red eyes.
She had a geometric tattoo in the middle of her chest.

Camilla’s eldest daughter, O’Hara, was pointing her sword at Bellion.

[Surrender, Martina. Gently hand over that body to me.]

Martina?
Why is she looking at herself and making noise like that?
Belion, who was perplexed, suddenly saw a shield on the floor.
Her eyes widened as she saw her own reflection in her shield.

Dark hair that goes down to her waist.
Alluring red eyes.
Bellion was familiar with a woman whose armor was so badly damaged that the clothes she was wearing were exposed.

‘My, did I become Martina?’

Princess Bellion had become Martina.

Right after Haunted fell, the princess experienced firsthand what happened to Martina.

●●●

‘Martina, head to Haunted. Don’t hand over Haunted to her demons!’

Knight Commander Martina was dispatched to the Haunted under the order of the King.
It was because information was obtained that a large army of demons was advancing towards the Haunted.

Haunted, the second most important strategic point after Flush.
If even the Haunted is taken from the yard where Flosh falls, the kingdom becomes like a rat in a dock.
They are put in a position where they are only waiting to die.

It just has to be stopped.
The kingdom gathered as many troops as possible to send as reinforcements.
With the troops she had gathered, Martina headed for Haunted.

‘Don’t worry, princess. I will definitely come back alive.’

Princess Bellion, who was worried that she might die, was reassured by Martina’s smiling face.
She promised to drive out her demons and return alive.

‘Shoot the arrow! Prevent even one from approaching the walls!’

Not long after Martina arrived at Haunted, the battle began.
The enemy Martina had to deal with was a large army of dream demons.
Vicious monsters who rob others of their bodies.
Martina had no intention of handing over the Haunted to the Haunted Demons no matter what.

‘Move the wounded to the rear! Those who can still fight, take up weapons and gather at the walls!’

Like Flosh, the Haunted also had a fierce fight.
If you lose, you become a slave.
They are treated as livestock and live a life of abuse for the rest of their lives.
This fact was known to Martina as well as her soldiers and the people living in the Hunted.

So everyone fought with the determination to bury them in the ground.
When the arrows fell, they threw stones, and when the stones fell, they threw soil to resist.
Thanks to everyone’s unified resistance, Haunted was able to hold out for two weeks.

But those two weeks were the limit.

‘All retreat, retreat!’

The fortress wall collapsed due to the fierce offensive of the dream demons who reorganized their battle lines.
Climbing the collapsed wall, the dream demons attacked as though they were underwater with the Hunted.
Marnita immediately responded with her soldiers, but she was not strong enough to block the incoming demons.

‘Is there nowhere to run to anymore?’

After that, it became a one-sided fight.
After being pushed and pushed, Martina and her kingdom soldiers were driven to the tower at the very end of the Haunted.
The brave soldiers who fought alongside Marnita were annihilated.
All the people who helped and resisted Martina became prisoners.

‘Even the remaining people must escape…’

Victory is impossible.
Then at least the remaining people have to escape.
Martina resisted to the last, brandishing her sword with the determination to die for her.

And, she was defeated.

“Keugh!”
“It’s your defeat, Captain Martina.”

Martina fell to her knees before O’Hara, the leader of the Haunted invasion.

“Shit…”

Demons are stronger than humans.
But just because you’re strong doesn’t mean you always win.
Martina, who was judged for her prowess within her knights, thought she would be able to drive O’Hara.
Even if they don’t win, they will be able to buy time for her soldiers to escape, so they are optimistic.

But that was a stupid idea.

‘It didn’t even reach me at all.’

No matter how she swung her sword, she couldn’t inflict a single scratch on O’Hara.
She couldn’t even tear his armor apart.
Rather, it was Martina herself who was covered in blood.
Her armor was shattered, revealing her clothes inside and breaking her sword.
Martina was miserably defeated.

“Now, as promised, I will take your body. So do the people who live here.”
“Keugh?”
“Do not worry. I won’t kill you.”

O’Hara grabbed Martina’s neck with her left hand.
She lifted it up and began tightening her fingers.
Suddenly, a cracking sound was heard.
With her tremendous grip, Martina couldn’t catch her breath.

“Kuuuuu…”
“If you surrendered to us, we’d make it a little easier, but it’s all your fault that this happened.”
“Kuuuuu, don’t be ridiculous. That, that kind of thing, in a lie, do you think I will be fooled?”

Before the Haunted was attacked.
O’Hara sent Martina a letter inviting her to surrender.
The contents of the letter were as follows.

[Disarm all weapons. All humans living in Haunted will become dream demons. Then I will guarantee your happiness.]

This requirement was rejected by Martina.

“I, on the subject of going and stealing someone else’s body… Ooh, my lady, buy something that will eat your soul, save it? Do you think you will be fooled by lies!”

Martina knew about the Hmong Demons through her books.
A monster that only exists in the form of a soul and survives by stealing the bodies of others.
Those whose bodies are stolen have their souls eaten by the dreamers.
I know that well, but how can I sacrifice the people?

“Eating souls, I think you misunderstood something…”
“Keuuuuu…”
“We rob the body, we don’t eat the soul. Rather, it gives grace. I would never do such barbaric things.”
“Uuuuu…”
“Realize with your own body what it is. Mother, come here.”
“Keuuuuu, uh, mother?”

Something came into Martina’s field of vision as her consciousness gradually faded.
A black lump floated in the air next to O’Hara.
The mass, shimmering like a flame, hovered around O’Hara as if it were alive.

“Yes, mother. Is this woman enough? Of course, I got a man too. I’m sure your mother will like it too.”

O’Hara is talking to a black mass called Mother.
And after a while,

“Oooh?”

A black mass squeezed into Martina’s mouth.

“Whouuuuu!”

Trying to spit it out was useless.
The black mass penetrated deep into Martina’s body, just before she died.

[You have a very nice body.]

Then, a woman’s voice came into Martina’s head.

‘Who, who is it?’

[My name is Camilla. She is the queen of the dream demons. She is also the monster that will occupy your body.]

Camilla?
Queen of Dreams?
Martina had a hard time understanding.
But she was clear about this one thing.

This monster called Camilla is trying to take over her own body.
He intends to use Martina’s body to descend into her reality.

[Sleep quietly for the time being. When the time comes, I will give you a present too.]

‘Muh, what are you talking about…’

Martina couldn’t think anymore.

“Keuuuuu could

Evil magi oozes out of Martina’s body.
Her apricot-colored skin turned white like her corpse, and a geometric tattoo appeared right in the center of her chest.

“Oh, no… Wow, princess…”

Resistance was futile.
It was impossible for a mere knight to defeat the queen.
Martina’s consciousness was immersed in darkness.

“Finally got it. Finally got it! Finally got it! I won’t disappear anymore!”

And Camilla, who took over Martina’s body, was overjoyed.
