Chapter Title: The Cause of the Tilted Playing Field Between Boars and Sows
-----------------------------------------------------------------
That day, the moment she was stripped naked amid the bandits, Eleonora realized something.
She understood that if she continued to wield a sword as a woman, she could be captured by enemy generals or soldiers at any moment, her chastity trampled underfoot, turning her into their plaything.
That her cherished virginity, preserved precisely because she was a knight, could be brutally stolen in the blink of an eye by someone other than her beloved.
Perhaps not just her virginity, but something even more precious.
But she was prepared for it.
Even if it meant facing even greater crises ahead—including those filthy perverts—and bearing the risk of being ravished without warning at any moment,
the honor and glory of being a knight were worth enduring it all.
From that day on, Eleonora threw herself into training like a madwoman, pushing herself relentlessly so she would never forget that humiliation. Whenever she had time, she hunted down bandits and other villains, cutting them down.
Of course, she never missed a chance to head to the battlefield.
Especially when word came of barbarians descending from the north—savages who treated women as mere breeding tools—she personally requested to lead the vanguard,
swinging her sword to protect the innocent from them, again and again.
In that way, seeking out countless barbarians and bandits to cut down,
Eleonora had ascended to the ranks of the absolute strongest, unbeatable by anyone.
Yet even so, in order to endlessly eradicate the evil that sprouted like weeds no matter how much she cut it down, she resigned her position as knight captain and set out on a journey. And at last, today!
That day she had dreaded so much had finally arrived.
'At last... at long last, you're finally going to ravish me! To pound me senseless and lay the foundation for turning me into a sow... to corrupt me, a Grand Master...!'
Rage boiled up inside her.
To think this power that could pin down and immobilize even a Grand Master like her was being wasted on something as filthy as toying with women!
"Haa... haa...!"
"Oh?"
Her body heated up as volcanic fury surged in her chest. If she could, she'd tear this villain limb from limb right now!
"Just a casual remark, but looks like it was true after all. Good timing—I have something to grab anyway. Wait here a sec?"
"Ah?"
Suddenly, the hand that had been stroking her pussy vanished, followed by the thudding footsteps of that villain fading away.
"To leave me here like this, all alone...! How much of a fool does he think I am to act so defenseless...!"
"..."
There was no reply. Had he really gone somewhere else?
Eleonora groaned softly, pondering how she might escape from this place while feeling the warm sunlight now bathing her body.
'By the way, is there really a village nearby? From what I glimpsed, this is somewhere deep in the forest. No way there's a village if that idiot's dumb enough to do this...'
It wasn't a cave. The unmistakable warmth enveloping her entire body came from the sun overhead, and the clear, crisp air carried a freshness that no moldy cave could match.
'Th-then... what if he really set up his hideout near a village?'
But with that thought came a strange notion creeping into her mind.
'If there's really a village nearby like he said, then surely people come here to buy pigs. Some might check which ones have fattened up nicely, others might want to inspect them personally before deciding.'
She had to escape—that thought screamed at her—but the stray idea shouted back, 'This is just gathering clues for your escape!' silencing her doubts.
'Come to think of it, it's about time for the harvest festival. With the harvest in, people might come rushing here to buy pigs for the village feast, not knowing what this place really is...'
Gulp.
Eleonora's throat bobbed visibly, and as a breeze blew toward her, making the glistening juices on her pussy sparkle, that odd thought spun even wilder imaginings.
'If he's telling the truth, someone might come to buy a pig any moment now. But with the farm's owner away...'
Thud thud.
"!!"
Suddenly, footsteps approached her ear, and her exposed hips twitched. Could it really be someone here to buy a pig?! Her face paling, Eleonora shouted desperately.
"Don't come any closer! You mustn't come! If you do, you'll see me like this and get killed! They'll silence you! Run away now! Get help! Don't come!!"
'Oh no, what is happening...! I can't even escape myself...!'
Thud thud.
He wouldn't have told her the truth, but that didn't mean it was all lies either.
If there was even the slightest chance this really was a pig farm near a village and someone was coming to buy one, then even if it meant exposing her naked body, she had a knight's duty to protect the innocent.
'Please stop... don't come...!'
Here she was, a shameful female knight stripped bare and exposing her naked form—her pussy—to the world, utterly helpless to aid anyone. Yet the footsteps didn't stop, heading straight toward her as if curiosity had been piqued by her cries.
Thud thud.
"Hnn... D-don't you hear me?! Stay back! This is a facility where they strip women naked and train them into sows! Run away and get help! Go to any knight in the Isis Kingdom—mention my name, Eleonora Croft, and beg for aid! Hurry!"
'They'll see me... they'll see me like this, my pussy exposed in this filthy pose...!'
What if this was all part of his plan?!
Deliberately leaving the way open for someone to come, luring them in to witness her stripped bare, then having her scream for help—it was like a carnivorous plant trapping insects drawn to sweet nectar!
A vile, insidious trap using her naked body as bait to snare the innocent!
Thud thud.
He'd surely grab the hapless fool caught in this lewd yet terrifying trap and kill them right before her eyes for witnessing her disgrace.
As an example, no doubt.
Yes, he was more than capable of it. The nonsense about her having exhibitionist tendencies, leaving the door wide open like this—it was all to break her.
Right in front of her, he'd hold a knife to their throat and sneer, 'If you don't want this one dead, spread that pussy wide as you can.' She'd desperately spread her pussy or asshole or whatever, begging him to keep his promise,
but he'd just laugh and slit their throat.
Thud thud.
So leaving her naked body exposed like this—her pussy and asshole on display for all to see—was all part of this setup?!
"Ughhh, you... you wicked fiend!!"
"What's this one babbling about? Did it feel so good she started screaming on her own?"
"Eh?"
At the familiar voice in her ear, the blindfold came off, and Eleonora whipped her head away from Sin Seon-dong, who smirked mockingly at her.
Her ears burned scarlet—no need to mention that.
"Ahem. So, the guy who boasted about ravishing me runs off, but now that you're not doing it, you're regretting it?"
"Leaving a sow like you alone to piss herself would be a waste, yeah."
"Eek!"
Pissing herself?! What kind of vulgar, degrading nonsense was this!
But before the words could escape her lips, Eleonora tilted her head at the sight of Sin Seon-dong donning pristine white gloves and a handkerchief, like something out of a surgical ward.
"Wh-what... are you doing...?"
"Before that, I need to explain the device holding you in place right now."
"..."
Probably some ridiculous contraption. No doubt a perverse invention meant to mock her like this. But ignoring that, Sin Seon-dong pulled something wrapped in fresh white cloth from his bosom and spoke.
"As you can see, all the boars here are castrated—no balls."
"Wh-what do you mean, 'see'...!"
She snapped reflexively, but the truth was, she had seen.
Endlessly yesterday. At first she'd thought they were all sows, but glimpsing their genitals between their legs confirmed they were boars.
"So why castrate them? Pigs breed well and you raise them with care, but even among these bastards, there's a tilted playing field. Boars just taste worse than sows by default, right?"
Sows taste good simply for being sows, but boars get shunned just for being boars. How horrific and terrifying..."
"Pork tastes the same no matter what—only the smell is rank..."
As if she knew anything about taste!
Eleonora snorted derisively, and Sin Seon-dong chimed in agreement.
"Exactly. Boar taint, they call it. Or off-flavor. Put another way, it's that male stench—like the inescapable smell in a teenage boy's room after puberty hits. Pigs have it too."
What was he suddenly on about? What did that have to do with her being tied up like this?
"The problem is these boar balls affect the meat quality. The steroids in them seep into the flesh, causing that off-flavor you've probably tasted in pork before."
"...So, they remove the testicles to fix the smell, and this has what to do with—"
"Plus!"
Sin Seon-dong snapped his gloves with a sharp crack, cutting her off.
"Without castration, the male hormones run wild, making these pigs way harder to control. You know that 'stormy adolescence' phase? Pent-up blood boiling in their bodies, trapped and stressed—it amplifies, and they go berserk fighting the other pigs."
Already worthless for sale without castration, and now injuring or killing others in fights? For folks making a living off pigs, nothing's more of a headache.
"That's why they castrate piglets routinely between 3 to 5 days old."
What was he going on about? Why ignore her questions and ramble about pigs?
Eleonora was about to snap at him to get to the point when he unfurled the white cloth—and her eyes began to tremble.
"Wh-what... what is that...!"
"What else? A scalpel. Anyway, back to it—they need castrating, but these little piglets? Fast as hell. Won't just sit pretty while you grab 'em. So what do you need to hold them still?"
"N-no way?!"
Eleonora shook her head frantically, thrashing, and at the same time, shining droplets of nectar began to spatter from between her legs.
