Master and Slaves

"I... I got stuck putting my armor back on... When we reached the village, fires were everywhere... No, smoke was rising..."

Muriel slowly began to speak.

"I went looking for Master everywhere in the village. I even went to the village chief’s house, but no one was there. The only things I found were corpses that looked like villagers... Then I heard a loud noise and ran over there. That’s where I met Master."

That was right. After I saw Cathy and Tiria turned into stone statues.

"I then left the village to go to Lübeck City as Master had ordered. But when I was about to leave, a loud noise came from behind—from where Master was—so I went back. There, Master was... petrified..."

Muriel lowered her head and bit her lip tightly.

"There... Master had become... stone... I ran over to Master, but I couldn’t do anything... I thought if I left him there, that monster would destroy him... So I tried to move Master, Cathy, and Tiria from there... but they wouldn’t move at all... I fought the monster to drive it away..."

Tears streamed down Muriel’s face once more.

"Anyway... I thought I should rush back to Lübeck City immediately and beg Freit to help Master. But that monster had friends... After I defeated it, they captured me..."

"Muriel, tell us more in detail. How did you get captured?"

Helene urged Muriel.

"That’s... because Master was taken hostage..."

Muriel groaned painfully.

"Muriel, continue."

"...Yes."

Helene prodded her, and Muriel kept speaking.

"After that... I was knocked unconscious... They took me to a mansion... I don’t know where it was... It was a luxurious house... I was there for... fifteen years... as a toy..."

"Wha...."

F-fif... teen... years...!

"W-wait. ...I see. First... how long have I been asleep?"

There were many things that surprised me, but I asked something easier first to calm down.

"You’ve been a statue for fifteen years."

Helene answered calmly to my question.

But Cathy and Tiria were still like that...!

Muriel should not have aged as a Dule...

But none of that mattered right now.

"Muriel... you..."

During that time, Muriel...

"I... was violated by many men... I even got pregnant... Because I was a former knight, I led bandits into battle... I literally fought naked... and as a reward for victory... I offered my body..."

Muriel hugged her own body, lowered her head, and spoke with a trembling voice so I could barely hear.

I was speechless at Muriel’s fifteen years of horror.

I couldn’t find any words.

I couldn’t comfort her.

"It’s no good. You haven’t said the important part yet. Tell us more in detail."

Helene pressed Muriel further.

"No, it’s fine already."

"It’s no good. You have to listen properly."

"It’s fine, it’s fine already...."

I reached out to Muriel.

But my hand didn’t reach her.

Muriel dodged my hand.

"I... couldn’t save Master... I called other people ’Master’... I swayed my hips in front of Master while many men took me... I got pregnant with a child whose name and face I didn’t even know... I aged more than Master... and in the end I couldn’t save Master..."

Muriel laughed and spoke self-mockingly.

I couldn’t understand what Muriel was saying.

"I can no longer be worthy of being Master’s Dule."

Muriel stood up and tried to leave.

At that moment, Helene’s hand grabbed Muriel’s arm.

"Hold on, Muriel. You still haven’t said the important part, so Master doesn’t understand at all. Master has the right to hear your story. Please listen to her properly."

Helene also stood up and urged Muriel back to her seat.

"Now, tell us in more detail."

"Helene, there’s something I don’t want to talk about even with Muriel. Don’t push too hard..."

"Master. I already said it. You have the right to hear Muriel’s story. Just listen in silence."

Helene gave me a rare stern tone and scolded me.

This Helene... was the first time I’d seen her like this.

"Now, Muriel."

"...Yes. After I lost consciousness... I woke up in the mansion and was threatened by the woman there. If you care about your master, do as I say. That mansion was, on the surface, a brothel."

Muriel, having given up, accepted Helene’s repeated urging and began speaking calmly.

"However, underground, they were trading with some country. The goods were... demonic beasts."

"Demonic beasts!"

"Yes. They brought demonic beasts from the Demon World and bred them in the basement of the mansion."

"Wha... h-how?!"

"Humans were used as incubators for monsters... Seeds were placed inside them and they were made to conceive."

So they were breeding monsters using humans.

"Then Muriel was...."

"No, I was the woman master’s favorite. I was still... a virgin."

"I see. That... eh? But earlier you said you gave birth to a child..."

"Seeds were inserted into my uterus and fertilized. The hymen was kept intact. And when giving birth, they cut open my belly. Fufu, the woman master seemed to love my vagina most. She always had me used anally by the men, then watched my vaginal hole and smiled in delight."

Muriel spoke in a detached tone as if it weren’t her own story, occasionally letting a self-mocking smile appear.

"A child I didn’t want to have, but it was still my child. Of course it was cute. I gave birth to twins and raised them very dearly. ...But, but... I chose Master."

Her tears began to flow again.

"When my children were ten, I heard they were going to be used as incubators for demonic beasts. I panicked and entrusted one child, Helma, to a passing stranger. At the time, I and the other child, Ilma, had also planned to escape together. But because I couldn’t save Master, I couldn’t. When I tried to entrust Ilma to someone else, they were found by those people. The child was captured... and I was punished by having Ilma’s hymen broken..."
