Chapter 67. Ella vs. Bella: Round Two
Ella vs. Bella: Round Two
The maid's lounge in Eckhart Castle was weighed down by a heavier atmosphere than ever before. Even Nancy, who was usually lively and talkative, could only fidget with her teacup in silence.
"His Lordship... hasn't woken up in a week. If this continues..."
As Nancy's voice trembled, Ari turned to Sophia with desperate eyes.
"Lady Sophia, isn't there anything we can do? You're a priestess, right? Can't you heal him with prayers?"
Sophia shook her head sorrowfully.
"I'm sorry... A priestess's prayers can only repel 'impure energies,' not regenerate the body. That power belongs solely to a saintess."
In this world, priestesses and saintesses were distinctly different.
While priestesses could hear the voice of the gods and wield purifying power to banish corruption, saintesses borrowed divine power to heal physical wounds. Both roles were rare, but healing was the exclusive domain of saintesses.
"Even the head saintess dispatched by the royal family said... His Lordship's wounds won't close with ordinary healing. Belial's curse and his injuries have seeped deep into his bones..."
Maria's words only deepened the gloom in the room.
"Tch, what a pathetic bunch."
At that moment, the succubus Bella, lounging on a nearby bed while biting into an apple, snorted dismissively.
After the rebellion was quelled, she had shamelessly claimed a corner of the maid's lounge as her own, having nowhere else to go.
"Why are you even here? If you're not going to help, go back to the dungeon."
Ella (Victoria) snapped at her, but Bella merely shrugged.
"What's the point of hiding now? I'm just here to see if you can actually save our master. Besides, you know I'm only half a succubus now, right? No need to be so scared~"
She chewed lazily before turning her gaze to Iseo in the corner.
"So? Got any ideas, you frosty Seris girl?"
"..."
"What, cat got your tongue? If you're Seris, shouldn't you have top-tier medical skills or something? Can't you fix him?"
"I don't have the equipment. And we can't take His Lordship to Seris right now."
The moment Iseo answered without thinking, Bella pounced on her words.
"Hah, so you're useless too."
"Wait—what? Seris? Iseo unnie, what's that?"
Ari's eyes widened in shock. Ella, too, stared at Iseo in confusion.
Iseo pressed her lips together.
Bella smirked and answered for her.
"Oh? You were still hiding it? Figures, with how shady you are. The girl you've been rolling around with is actually—"
"That's enough!"
Maria cut Bella off sharply.
"Iseo must have her reasons. Let's all get back to work."
As head maid, Maria had already guessed Iseo's identity through Count Lucian and sought to protect her. But Iseo didn't rise from her seat.
"...No, Head Maid."
Iseo lifted her head as if she had made up her mind.
"Hiding any longer... wouldn't be fair to my comrades. I'm sorry for deceiving you all this time."
"Iseo unnie...?"
"I am a spy from Seris, a nation in the East."
The maids gasped. A spy?
Iseo confessed calmly. Her mission had been to monitor and report on Count Lucian's mana, but she had fallen in love with him and turned her back on Seris.
"Seris... is not an ordinary nation."
She gave a brief explanation of the place she was born and raised, careful not to reveal too much—if word got out, they would come for her.
Seris was a cold society that prioritized efficiency and control. Its people had refined their bodies and minds through magic-infused technology to the point where they could hardly be called human anymore. Belial was using Count Lucian's excess mana for some unknown purpose.
"But... Iseo is human, just like us, right?"
Ella was the one who broke the silence.
She walked over and took Iseo's hand.
"Not all Seris are like me. Before I met His Lordship, I was like an emotionless machine. I..."
Iseo couldn't continue, afraid she would seem like a monster.
"You're still you, Iseo. Whether you're Seris or not doesn't matter."
Ella spoke firmly.
Nancy sniffled and patted Iseo on the back.
"She's right! You're always so dependable and pretty. Sometimes, you feel more like an unnie than I do..."
"To us, you're just Iseo. Your love for His Lordship is no different from ours."
Ari, Maria, and even Sophia nodded in agreement.
Tears streamed silently down Iseo's usually impassive face.
### [Ella vs. Bella: Round Two]
One day, it was Ella's (Victoria's) turn to tend to Lucian.
The room smelled faintly of medicine. Looking at Lucian's pale, unconscious form, Ella sighed deeply.
"Sigh... Lord Lucian, please wake up already..."
She slumped over the bed, shedding a single tear. My hero, the one who crushed my family's enemy, Viscount Gamon... My knight in shining armor...
As she wept, her gaze drifted downward—to the part of him hidden beneath the sheets.
Even during the succubus Bella incident, that had remained terrifyingly alive.
'I wonder... is it okay?'
Glancing around cautiously, Ella lifted the blanket and pulled down his pants.
A limp member.
The monstrous thing that usually stood erect, threatening her, now lay powerless alongside its owner.
"Pfft! Getting turned on in this situation? You really are a pervert through and through."
"Wha—who's there?!"
Ella spun around in shock.
A woman stood with her arms crossed behind the curtains, smirking—the succubus Bella.
"Tch, of course it's you... You perverted demon."
"Who are you calling a pervert? You're the one stripping a patient."
"I'm human, and you're a succubus—you're the original pervert, aren't you?"
"Hah, hilarious. You're the one drooling over his dick when he's like this."
"Wha—you bitch!!"
Ella bristled. In the past, she would have been too scared to confront Bella, but now the succubus was only half of what she once was—addicted to Lucian's sacred seed and powerless.
"Ow! Let go!"
"You let go first, you horned demon bitch!"
The two women grabbed each other's hair, tumbling into a messy brawl.
Knock knock.
"Anyone there?"
Sophia's voice came from outside the door.
Ella and Bella froze, then immediately released each other and smoothed their clothes.
"Ah, yes! Just tending to His Lordship!"
"I-I was just checking on Master..."
Sophia stepped in, eyeing their disheveled states suspiciously.
"Please don't fight—the patient needs rest. I'll go pray now."
"Of course~"
"Y-yeah..."
The moment Sophia left, the two were at each other's throats again.
"Hmph. No matter how much you touch him, Master won't get excited. Human hands are all the same."
"Funny. A half-baked succubus like you? No matter how much you suck, he won't even twitch!"
Their competitive spirits flared at each other's taunts.
"Oh? Wanna bet? See who can get a reaction?"
"Fine! What are we wagering?"
"A week's worth of desserts!"
"Deal."
The maids' one and only indulgence—sweet desserts. The battle of the century had begun.
"Move. Let me show you what a human woman can do."
Ella took the lead. She unleashed the morning fellatio skills she had honed by sneaking into Lucian's room while he slept.
She took the tip of his cock into her mouth, flicking the slit with her tongue.
"Slurp... Mmm..."
"Oh-ho? Not bad for a human."
Bella watched with interest as Ella's tongue worked skillfully. At the same time, her incubus instincts stirred.
Unable to resist, she climbed onto the bed.
"Move. We're doing this together."
"Huh? Wh-what?"
"What? Maybe a double blowjob will wake him up."
Bella pressed her face next to Ella's. For some reason, Ella didn't stop her.
Two women descended upon one cock.
Schlurp! Lick!
Ella on the right, Bella on the left.
Lucian's massive shaft was enveloped by two pairs of warm lips and tongues simultaneously.
Their hair tangled, their breaths mingled.
"Mmm..."
In the tight space, their tongues accidentally brushed against each other.
Slick.
Without realizing it, Ella licked Bella's red tongue. The succubus met her gaze with a strange look before suddenly pressing their lips together.
Smooch! Schlurp!
"Mmph?!"
With Lucian's cock between them, the two women shared a deep kiss.
That sticky, sinful scent of yuri—the same one Ella had experienced with Iseo. Lonely from Iseo's recent busyness, Ella's face flushed as she drank in Bella's saliva.
"Pwah..."
When their lips parted, both women's eyes were glazed over.
Ella regained her senses and doubled down on Lucian's cock, sucking harder.
She could feel it—a faint twitch, a slight swelling.
"He's reacting!"
Ella seized the momentum, bobbing her head violently. [Deep Throat]. She forced the shaft deep into her throat, clamping down.
Gag! Gag! Schlurp!
Meanwhile, Bella slid down and took Lucian's heavy balls into her mouth.
Rolling them like candy, she teased them with her tongue until his cock visibly thickened.
"Move, it's my turn now."
Bella shoved Ella aside and engulfed his length. With dolphin-like thrusts and vacuum-like suction, she attacked relentlessly.
Schlupp! Schlupp!
"Hey! You're not supposed to suck his cum out! You're supposed to make him feel good!"
Ella reclaimed her spot, taking Lucian back into her mouth.
Bella smirked and moved behind Ella.
"Then... I'll have to eat something else."
She lifted Ella's skirt from behind, pulling her panties down to her ankles.
"Wha—?! Wh-what are you—?!"
Ella tried to turn her head, but with Lucian's cock in her mouth, she couldn't move.
Her pussy was already dripping with arousal.
Bella spread Ella's ass cheeks with both hands and buried her face between the slick folds.
Lick!
"Nnngh!!"
Ella's hips jerked.
In front, she was sucking Lucian's cock. Behind, a succubus's tongue was lapping at her pussy.
Bella's tongue was nothing like a human's. Infused with faint magic, it flicked over Ella's clit and probed her entrance, sending melting pleasure through her nerves.
Schlurp! Schlurp! Schlurp!
(Front: Ella)
Lick! Lick! Lick! (Back: Bella)
The room filled with lewd, wet sounds.
Ella struggled not to let go of Lucian's cock, but Bella's ministrations were too intense.
"Gag... Ngh... Gag...!"
Ella's eyes rolled back. An orgasm was coming.
"Nnnngh!!!"
Squirt—!
Her juices gushed out like a fountain, drenching Bella's face.
Throb! Gulp! Gulp!
At the same time, Lucian's cock pulsed deep in Ella's throat, releasing hot cum.
"Pwah! Gag! Gag!"
Ella lifted her head, semen dripping from her lips.
Her face—mouth, chin, and even her chest—was a mess of his white fluid.
Gasping, she cried out.
"His Lordship...! He's waking up!!"
Lucian's cock twitched post-ejaculation, and his tightly shut eyelids trembled slightly.
The two perverts' devotion had wrought a miracle.
