Princess of Castile
By Jennifer Reed
Chapter 9: The Princess's banquet
Victor had gone shopping to find himself an outfit to wear for his
meeting with the Empress herself. It would have to be the best to have
him look good for the Empress. Victor had no problem shopping at
women's apparel stores. He had shopped at women's stores a lot and had
a very extensive collection of women's apparel he wore daily. He went to
a high-end store that specialized in women apparel. Some women probably
assumed he was either a crossdresser, or a man trying to elevate himself
to a more female status in this female-dominated society. But most
women accepted him as one of their own because he was so skilled at
presenting himself as female. He had chosen several expensive gowns and
dresses that looked beautiful. He also chose a woman's pantsuit to
wear. A woman's business suit with pants designed for women.
Then he went to a lingerie store and picked out a new bra and pantie
sets and a few new soft camisoles to wear for the night. He knew
Cynthia was gone for an undefined time and who knew when she would
return from duty. But he wanted to look beautiful for when she
returned, and he also had an appointment with the Empress herself. He
did not really know how she wanted him to appear. He was forever in her
debt for ordering his rescue and making the Duke disappear. He saw the
sick Duke several times after his capture and wedding to a vicious Major
in the special forces. He now knew what being helpless and dominated
was like. Victor couldn't be happier with the Duke's fate. Once the
Duke's time as the Major's wife was at an end, he had been told that the
Duke would be put in a forced labor camp and worked to death.
He didn't know if the Empress wanted him to present himself as male or
female for their meeting. She knew him as a man and thought he wanted
to return to living as a man. The Empress may not know that he had
finally given up that fantasy and accepted himself as female now.
Victor finally decided to present himself as a female for his meeting.
So he went back to his place and chose a very sexy elaborate evening
gown to meet with the Empress. He took some time to make himself very
presentable for meeting with someone of her station and went off to the
Imperial Palace for his meeting with the Empress.
Victor was driven to the enormous black palace that was the Empress's
residence, and he was let out at the grand steps. He walked up the
steps to approach the front door and was stopped by a crimson uniformed
Imperial Guard. Victor handed the lead guard his invitation. He was
admitted into the imperial palace and was stopped by a squad of guards
next. They examined him for weapons and admitted him into the interior
chambers of the palace.
He was led to a waiting room just outside of the Empress's personal
office. And he just waited for his time to be admitted in.
He waited about ten minutes until the door of the office opened and he
saw the most ridiculous thing he had ever seen. Exiting the Empress's
office was a very large, totally feminized man. He was wearing a padded
bra that made his chest balloon out into the skintight red dress he was
wearing. Both legs were encased in silk nylon stockings. His feet had
been locked into a pair of bright red toeless five-inch spike heels.
His toes and fingers were covered in rings. All of his nails were
sparkling pink. His hair was bright red, and his face was covered in
exotic makeup.
This man was large, but there was no doubt that he had been totally
feminized. This was the Duke that destroyed his entire life. On the
Duke's neck was a black collar similar to the one the Duke made him wear
that identified him as a crossdresser in public. But the collar the
Duke wore had bright red letters on it that said, "RAPIST," and it was
also tattooed on the outside of the Duke's arm. He knew this man very
well. This was the sadistic duke.
Everyone who saw this man would know he was a convicted rapist.
Victor approached the Duke with a look of intense rage and anger. The
Duke stopped when he saw the young man approaching with pure hate in his
eyes. Victor shouted in rage, "How does it feel to be married against
your will and be forcibly feminized for the desires of another man?"
The Duke just looked at Victor helplessly. He saw the hopelessness and
helpless rage in the Duke's eyes.
Victor continued, "How does it feel to have all of your rights taken
from you and be enslaved by another man for his pleasure? And have your
entire life placed under the control of a cruel, sadistic man who only
wants to crush your spirit and destroy your life. To use you whenever
he wants. And you can do nothing about it, you sadistic bastard."
Then Victor pulled back and violently slugged the Duke across the jaw.
Then he cried out and held his injured fist. The Duke fell back from
the blow, but it didn't do much to the large man. Victor was never much
of a physical man.
"You don't know what I was going through then or how desperate I was. I
was only doing what I had to. Please understand?" Pleaded the Duke.
Victor pulled back and kicked the Duke hard. "I don't care what you
were going through missing Angela. It does not justify what you did to
me at all. If you wanted to pressure them into agreeing with you, you
could have chosen a willing and beautiful crossdresser who would have
loved the life of being dominated by a larger man.
"There are many very submissive crossdressers who would have gladly
agreed to help you. But they would have wanted something substantial in
return for their service to you. That's not what you wanted. You
wanted a regular straight man to enslave to your sick desires. Someone
who had no right to ask for anything in return, and you would not have
to pay anything to. Someone who would be helpless to resist, and you
could enjoy forcing him into the life. So you could feel the power of
making a regular man helpless as you destroy him. You wanted to destroy
an innocent man's entire life. I know what you were going through."
"But you weren't innocent," The Duke countered. "You assaulted my
sister. You humiliated her. You were not innocent."
"No," Victor said softly. "I never hurt your sister at all. We were in
love. She wanted me, but we were caught by her fianc?, who blamed me
and made up lies. She also lied to cover herself. But I never abused
your sister at all."
The Duke shook his head, but Victor shouted, "You all believed a bunch
of lies about me. I was in a relationship with your sister, and they
lied about me to cover her infidelity. You believed lies, and you
committed an atrocity and destroyed my entire life. Now you are getting
what you deserve."
The Duke walked away, actually believing Victor. Victor didn't look
like the type of person who would ever abuse a woman, and the Duke
doubted Victor was even capable of abusing a woman. The Duke really
felt duped by his sister's fianc?, but it was too late to fix anything
now.
Victor walked toward the huge double doors to the Empress's office. A
guard opened the door and admitted Victor into the spartan and darkened
office of the Empress herself.
The office was very dark with the window blinds down and very little
light. The large imperial seal of the Falange, the black background
with blood-red arrows crossed on a yoke, was proudly displayed on top of
the Empire's symbol. She sat behind an ornate wooden desk.
The Empress spoke in a proud, regal voice, "Welcome, Victor Knox. I
have been expecting you."
Victor bowed in respect and bent his knee in submission to his sovereign
empress. He bowed his head, "I am honored by your request, your
Imperial Majesty. Thank you for all of your help. My freedom is a debt
I will never be able to repay, but I will do my best to honor you, my
Empress."
"You may rise and be seated, Victor. We have a great many things to
discuss today. Things that are vital to you and our alliance, Victor."
Victor rose from his knee and sat down in a seat across from the
Empress's desk. She started the discussion, "Victor, I hear you are in
a romantic relationship with a powerful colonel of the Shadow Corps. A
colonel Cynthia Francis. Am I correct?"
"Yes, your Majesty. But I doubt it will last. I heard that she would
have trouble if I become a woman."
She smiled. "That is very right. She probably would have trouble with
the relationship if you are another woman."
"Yes, your majesty."
"I understand."
"I hear that you have finally accepted that you are in spirit, a woman.
And have chosen to transition soon."
"That is good to hear," The Empress asked. "But Victor you know how we
feel about same-sex relationships. And you personally know the horrors
that can result from them. I will not reconsider the ban on same-sex
relationships."
"Cynthia is a great and powerful woman," Victor stated. "I hope it can
work out for us, but if not, then I can accept that. I know she does
not want me to transition into a woman. I understand."
The Empress said, "And now I would like to speak about your family and
what you did."
Victor's face turned red from anger at the mention of his family. He
did his best to remain respectful, "What about them do you want to
discuss?"
"I want to congratulate you for what you did to them," said the Empress.
"You were unable to allow things to remain what they were. You went
back, and you exposed your family, who had you sold. You exposed the
conspiracy and had them all arrested and charged for very serious
federal crimes of slavery, human trafficking, torture, and a host of
other crimes, and they are all now serving consecutive life sentences
without the possibility of parole."
Victor didn't know what to say.
The Empress continued, "You did it the right way and got justice for
what you suffered. Many men would probably have forgotten about it or
had them all killed for what they did. Especially a man with your
resources that could have gotten away with it. But that would be too
easy. You turned them in, turned in the evidence and the contract and
testified, and had them all sent to prison. And now you solely own and
run your company as a woman. You sought justice as a woman. You proved
you are a very strong and fearsome woman, Victor. We know a woman's
anger can be much more vicious than a man's at times. You proved it.
But I have some questions about it."
"I'm curious about your cousin, young Amber," the Empress said. "She
had just turned eighteen. She was very young and innocent and very
unprepared to go against your father. He clearly threatened her and
bullied her for her signature and consent on your marriage. Did you
have to be so ruthless on her?"
"Yes," Victor said in a tone that was steel. "She didn't fight for me.
She accepted his money and signed the form and the affidavits. She sent
me to hell and enjoyed the payoff just the same as the rest. I do not
feel bad for sending her to prison with my stepmother and grandmother.
Not one bit."
The Empress smiled, "You are harsh and ruthless as a woman and you are
right to be angry at them. I agree with you," the Empress said smiling.
"And now we have more important things to discuss, Archduchess Vivian
Knox."
"Archduchess?" Victor said with hesitation.
"Yes, if we can come to an agreement, that will be your official title,"
the Empress replied. "I have big plans for you, Victor, and I want to
reward you for your assistance. You supply the military forces here and
manufacture our arms and ships in shipyards you built. You deserve a
big reward for your efforts on our behalf."
"Let me guess," Victor said with a smirk. "You want me to be a woman?"
"Yes, and as I see you now, that should be no problem. I am happy to
see you are accepting it as I always thought you should."
"Do you require me to go through the medical transition to womanhood,"
Victor inquired.
"Yes," the Empress said. "You already dress as a woman day to day and
go by a female name, Vivian, and are addressed as female on a daily
basis with no problem. A man would be offended and protest against it.
You accept it with ease and even enjoy it, I think. So you should take
the next step and make it official."
Victor smiled. "I have considered it and will do it very soon, Empress.
I have given up trying to be male. I do not like that it was stolen
from me, but I do feel fated to be female, and it isn't bad."
The Empress replied, "This will not be like the Duke forcing you against
your will. I want you to do it yourself, and you can refuse if you
want. I am not forcing this on you by imperial decree. No, Victor. I
need you to make the appointments and begin your real transition within
the week. And then I can make you a very powerful woman here. I will
appoint you as the Archduchess of all of Aragon, under the Princess and
me, of course. You will be in charge of all of Aragon. Their property,
wealth, courts, police, military forces, and their very lives will all
be in your hands. If you accept."
He wondered how all of this would affect his relationship with Cynthia.
Could she accept a relationship with another woman? A man who was
totally living as a woman and accepted as such? He hoped so if he was
going to go this far.
"I will accept, my Empress. I can do that for you."
"Good, I will make you an archduchess, Vivian Knox. You will be the
founder of the noble house of Knox in Castile, and I will have the
papers made that confirm your house's nobility and your title,
Archduchess. You will leave and return later, and I will confirm your
title and your noble house. If that is what you want, your female name
to be. Do you want to be Vivian forever, Victor, or do you want to
choose another name?"
Victor almost giggled in front of the Empress. "Vivian will be great.
Everyone calls me Vivian. I have name plaques with Vivian Knox on them,
my name tag, and even shirts embroidered with the name Vivian. I accept
the name Vivian, thank you, your majesty.
"Good, now on to our last issue," the Empress stated. "As I am
appointing you as the Archduchess of all Aragon, you will be required to
move there to administer the country and take charge of all military
operations. The country will be yours to command in any way you wish,
and I suspect you may want to settle some scores with a certain family
and a former Duke's mother." The Empress smirked knowingly. She knew
what she was doing.
Victor shivered at the thought of having to move back into that hellish,
brutal country. But he knew with his new title and power, they would be
under his command and could do nothing to him now.
Victor smiled a wolfish smile and agreed, "I agree, my Empress. I will
become a woman and accept your title. And I will go to Aragon and
command them for you, my Empress."
Then the Empress spoke into an intercom, and several other advisers and
administrators entered the office, and the Empress's voice rose in
power, "And now it is time, Vivian. You must no longer go by the name
Victor. Victor is dead. We will now confirm your identity as a female,
Vivian Knox. You may rise and approach the desk."
The administrators placed some papers on the desk as Victor approached
and saw the papers were about his sex and name change to Vivian. The
Empress said, "The papers need your signature confirming your identity
as female, Vivian. Sign them, please."
Vivian signed the papers confirming he was now officially female with
the name Vivian Knox. He was now officially a woman in this country.
Then several other papers were placed in front of Victor, and the
Empress said, "And these papers will make your family a noble house and
your title as Archduchess of Aragon. Sign them and make it official and
accept the noble title."
She signed the paper confirming her family as a noble house in Castile.
The Knox Family was now an official noble household. Then she signed
another paper accepting the title of Archduchess of Aragon.
The Empress then declared, "And now you are a noblewoman of Castile and
the founder of the Knox house. And you are officially one of the most
powerful women in Castile. I hereby proclaim you the Archduchess of
Aragon. Please, Vivian Knox, do not let us down. Make your
appointments very soon."
Alejandra had decided that she would not spend the second night with the
Duke. After what he did, the Duke could sleep alone and satisfy himself
or call one of the concubine services. Alejandra didn't care which, but
he would not have her tonight.
Alejandra thought to herself, "Tomorrow morning, everything will change.
This will be a banquet they will never forget. She hoped Leanne would
come, and Alejandra had invited several others to attend the bridal
banquet. No one would ever forget this banquet. She hoped it would be
the final bridal banquet that would ever be held in this country.
Alejandra laughed to herself and went to her closet and picked out a
comfortable camisole to wear to bed."
If Duke Jose ever thought this would last and become a true marriage
between partners that were deeply in love, he would have another thing
coming. Alejandra hated him. Jose ended any hope that this marriage
would become one of deep love and affection. That ended earlier this
day when he tried to force her to have sex with him in the manager's
office. That ended all hope and made her decision final. The Duke was
going to leave, and it was questionable if he would ever come back.
That depended on if he could learn his lesson. Alejandra didn't really
care. That was it.
Alejandra put on a sexy white satin camisole over her panties. Then she
and Kimberly went into the Duke's bedroom. He was propped on one elbow,
looking at them.
Alejandra approached the bed and said sternly, "As you know, I will be
sleeping alone tonight, Your Grace. After what you did at the
restaurant, I have no interest in spending another night with you.
He stood up to protest when a few other women entered the room wearing
their black uniforms. And they had their hand on their sidearm. It was
clearly a very threatening gesture, and the Duke stopped in his tracks.
"But, Alejandra, I hoped that you would reconsider. You are my wife."
Alejandra responded coldly, with a gun pointed directly at the Duke's
chest. "I wasn't given a choice, but unlike many women here, I now have
a choice. You tried to humiliate me in front of my entire family. You
also agreed to respect me. You violated your oath, so it's now over.
There is no hope between you and me."
"But you wanted me to help the other women who are stuck in unwanted
marriages. We agreed I would help you there," the Duke pleaded.
"Your assistance will no longer be required for that. I will be taking
over as the royal princess. You are being relieved of your titles, Your
Grace," Alejandra stated very coldly. The look in her eyes burnt with
such hatred and anger. The dark look frightened the Duke, and he
started wondering whatever made him think he could ever get the
princess' submit to his desire. He knew what she had been through and
what she did. She submitted to no one but the Empress herself. The
Duke knew he had underestimated her, and that was stupid. It might be a
fatal mistake.
Alejandra said, "And now you can leave. These women will help you
prepare for the night, and there are some men waiting for you in a spare
bedroom to keep you company." Alejandra smiled darkly. "I need to rest
and make plans for a very unforgettable bridal banquet. You can sleep
in the guest room for tonight."
Armed women ushered him out the door, and she locked it behind him. The
Duke could not believe what was happening. He had been evicted from his
own room by his bride. This was unheard of. Especially in arranged
marriages like this where the husband holds all of the power and the
wife loses all forms of self-determination. But those brides didn't
have armed guards with them. This princess did, and it changed
everything. He saw the hate burning in the woman's eyes, and it told
him they wanted any excuse to draw their weapons and gun him down. The
look in their eyes told him they wanted to shoot him. These women hated
him.
Then he started worrying about his own future. It was clear the
princess was taking over political control now. She had her people, her
aids, and her guards. He could do nothing about this now. Especially
if he wanted to remain alive. But Jose started wondering if he would
remain alive.
Would Alejandra simply have him murdered? No one could stop her if that
was her intention. Even the police could do nothing about it. The
hateful look in Alejandra's eyes told him that she was seriously
considering it. She really hated him. Alejandra wanted him to
disappear. Jose started thinking that he could die very soon, and he
could do nothing to prevent it. Alejandra was seizing political
control, and he was helpless to do a thing about it.
Jose was led into another bedroom where he was restrained in a chair,
much like Alejandra's chair. Then a woman proceeded to shave his entire
body, and then he was released and given an enema. He was put back in
the chair and restrained again while a stylist did his hair and put in
hair extensions and blonde highlights and then made his face pretty.
They even put on some emerald clip-on earnings and then put him in some
very sexy lingerie for the night. The Duke was beyond humiliated and
frightened.
The Duke was then led out of the room once they were finished making him
pretty. The Duke was led into another bedroom where he saw two large
men waiting for him with wide wolfish smiles. The Duke was locked in.
One of the women giggled, hearing the Dukes desperate protests from
behind the door. The Duke was going to have an exciting night.
Alejandra laid down in the Duke's soft, oversized bed and drifted on to
a comfortable sleep with no fear of being woken up by a disgustingly
vile and horny man demanding her sexual services. Her plan was working
wonders. There were a few more pieces that needed to be put in place
before she had free reign to do as she really pleased here. But that
time was coming very fast. She drifted off into a peaceful sleep for
the first time in several days.
She feared nothing while the Duke was being sexually used by the two
large men occupying the bedroom with him. He was totally helpless and
overpowered by the two men.
"hpmm...hmphh..." muffled Jose as the large cock pistoned in and out of
his mouth.
"Ahh..." moaned the man that was receiving the wonderful blowjob.
Jose had already received a mouthful of semen earlier by the same man
who was now forcing his cock through Jose's anus ring!
"Arghh..." groaned helplessly Jose as his butthole was being invaded by
the man behind him.
As soon as the large man's testicle's hit Jose's, he knew he was deep
inside the once powerful man.
All three men were now connected through Jose as he was being spit-
roasted like any adult actress in a cheap porno. After both men
climaxed inside Jose, he would have to endure another round of forced
sex on him. Both men had the energy for it.
The Duke woke up to a violent commotion outside. The men also ran to
the window to look outside, one of them had his hand on the Duke's ass
while watching outside. He looked out of the window and saw a huge army
convoy, inside of his large estate. They were flying the black flag of
Castile.
Countless army trucks were pulling to offload their passengers.
Hundreds of troops soon swelled into the thousands. Then large armored
vehicles drove in and stood guard. Countless tents went up, and they
built defenses. He even saw the troops set up howitzers and heavy
artillery. The Duke now knew what the princess was talking about.
Aragon was now under military occupation. He briefly wondered where
their own military divisions were. He could only guess that they had
been defeated. Their nation's air force and navy were crushed in a
night. Their army was as competent as the other branches of the
military had been. They were there to maintain civilian control and
guard the island. But they all knew they stood no chance in a battle
with Castile.
That's why Aragon had an alliance with the United States. But recent
developments had caused the United States to seriously reconsider their
obligations. The United States had turned their back on Aragon after
news of Victor Knox came out. He was a wealthy and valuable United
States citizen. Abducting him was a stupid act. After his escape, he
had gone to the United States Congress and pushed for the United States
to turn their back on Aragon. He used all of his wealth, his allies,
and power to push the United States to abandon Aragon. He had recently
been in contact with the Empress and was negotiating with Castile. None
of this was good at all. He looked outside again at the thousands of
troops who were setting up camp. No wonder the Princess no longer
needed his assistance. She now had an army. Then the largest man
forced Jose onto the bed again and began violently fucking him. Jose
just cried.
The sun was starting to rise when his door opened, and Alejandra came in
with several other very cruel-looking women as the two large men left
the bedroom. Alejandra smiled as she pushed him against one of his
bedposts and tied his hands to them. Alejandra said with a smile, "It's
time for your morning massage, Mr. Cordoba. These women will administer
it." She wore a huge cruel smirk as the other women approached him and
started grabbing his tender testicles.
The woman started tightly rolling one of his testicles between her thumb
and forefingers. It was incredibly painful, and he cried out as she
repeated it to the other testicle, and she alternated it between both of
his testicles. It was very painful and he was crying out for them to
stop as Alejandra coldly watched his agony.
Then the woman began violently squeezing them, and rubbing them between
both hands in a rapid rhythm that had him in deep pain and crying. The
woman finally stopped, and he was let loose from the post. Alejandra
then said, "I trust you will cooperate with us today. I made some
changes to the banquet. Today, you will wear a gown and the mask. Are
we clear! Or do we need to repeat this again?"
The Duke looked down, still in agonizing pain, and agreed, "Yes, your
highness. I agree."
Alejandra clapped and said, "Good, and these women will dress you for
the occasion. I will be getting ready. And Pam will be here if she is
needed again." Alejandra smirked as she turned to leave.
The woman who had just violently massaged his testicles smiled as
Alejandra walked out the door, assuring her she would remain there if
needed.
The Duke managed to ask, "And what will you wear?"
"My gown, I will be dressed as the Princess wearing the colors of my
house and of my nation. I will publicly come out and proclaim my real
title to them all and that they are now under my control. My people
will make the message very clear and unmistakable. They will never
forget it." Alejandra smiled cruelly as she walked out. The Duke
shivered. She was taking control, and no one could do a thing about it.
It would indeed be a banquet they would never forget.
The women began stripping his clothes off of him. The Duke looked down
in humiliation as this was being done to him. Then he was strapped into
a pink chair. It had heavy arm straps and leg straps that were really
secure, making him immobile and helpless as the women proceeded to pluck
his eyebrows. This was indeed going to be a bridal banquet no one would
ever forget.
One of the women looked into his frightened eyes and said in a tone of
pure hatred, "I met Victor once, and he can barely sleep through a night
without waking up screaming in terror. That's because of men like you.
We won't lubricate you because no one is going to fuck you tonight. But
we will give you another enema to clear you from last night's excitement
and so that you can get a feeling of what those men and women suffer
every day of their lives. And then we will proceed to dress you for the
banquet."
Alejandra stood in front of a mirror, wearing only a pair of her white
lace panties and a matching padded bra that really showed her lack of
breasts. The cups were unfilled and rather flat and wrinkled. She
sighed to Kimberly in disappointment, saying loudly, "I wish I could
have a decent cleavage like other women. I still look like a boy trying
to look feminine."
Kimberly almost laughed at that ludicrous statement from her princess.
"The Duke wanted you because you are so feminine. Despite your chest,
you have large hips and a very narrow waist. Your body looks very
feminine, and no one can mistake you for a boy. You are a stunningly
beautiful woman, Alejandra. No one in their right mind would consider
you a boy. Your breasts will grow out, just give them time, and you
will have a sexy cleavage. Now let's get you dressed for your
occasion." She used Alejandra's real name.
Alejandra looked at the pile of clothes she had to put on. There was a
lot to it. The De Rivera women liked to dress in Tudor fashion for
official occasions.
She looked at her large red and black gown, the colors of her royal
house. It would make a big impression on the people, one they would be
horrified by and would never forget. A vicious, wolfish smile spread
across her face as she began dressing for the occasion.
Alejandra began with the light chemise she draped over her head and
laced. It was only the beginning, and then she sat down and slowly
rolled up the nylons up her legs.
Then Alejandra took a red petticoat and draped it over her head and
lowered it to her hips. Kimberly helped her lace the petticoat up
around her hips. Alejandra found the stiff boned stays and wrapped it
around her upper body, and Kimberly laced it up tight for support.
Kimberly wrapped a partlet around her upper body, and they carefully
laced it up around her neck and busts.
Next was a ridiculous looking large hooped farthingale that Kimberly
helped her lower over her head and slid down to her hips. And then she
could finally put on the kirtle. Kimberly and another assistant helped
her lower the large red and black kirtle over her head, and they took
some time lacing it up in the back and the sides. She was almost done
now. All that was left now was the gown and the bodice in the colors of
her house and had her royal seal on the front. She was helped into the
gown, and Kimberly helped lace the bodice up in the back. This would
definitely make an impression.
Alejandra really wondered why the women of her house liked to dress like
it was the sixteenth century. And Martin thought what he had to wear
for his banquet was bad. Alejandra laughed at the thought and turned to
Kimberly, saying, "I hope you remembered the final piece. Please don't
tell me you forgot it. A princess needs it for formal occasions, you
know."
Kimberly smiled while she showed Alejandra a small, but beautiful tiara
with pretty pink diamonds and large red rubies on the tips. It was fit
for a princess, and she slowly lowered it on Alejandra's head.
Alejandra said sourly, "I can barely move in this damn farthingale.
Alejandra and Kimberly left the bedroom and went to see how the Duke was
doing.
The large Duke was dressed much sexier. She also noticed a bunch of
dark hickies around his neck and chest. It was perfect. It looked like
he had on a pair of panties and a pointy cone bra on top. He was
wearing a form-fitting bright red dress. He had multiple rings on his
fingers and on his toes. His nails were painted pink, and she couldn't
see his face, but she guessed it was made up rather pretty. He had on
his Bliss Mask, and a purple veil draped over the mask. The Duke was
humiliated beyond belief, and Alejandra felt nothing for him.
"Alejandra, why?" the Duke pleaded.
"You are going through what some other men have gone through, and this
is what you intended for me. I figured you should also experience it.
As a powerful Duke, you never lifted a finger to help those suffering
men or women. So this is what you get, Jose. Enjoy it. This will be a
very exciting banquet."
He looked at Alejandra wearing the royal colors of her house. He saw
the party pin on her collar in black with the bright red arrows crossing
each other. And her princess tiara. He laughed and agreed, "This will
be a banquet they will never forget.
Alejandra took the Duke's hand and led him down the steps followed by
her royal guards. They proceeded to head out of the manor to meet their
troops. They met a very petite looking young woman named Vivian wearing
an Archduchess's crown and very elaborate robes, Major wearing a woman's
military uniform was standing beside her, affectionately holding the
woman's hand as they gazed longingly into each other's eyes. The Major
was standing beside Vivian, and they were affectionately holding
eachothers hand. Few could really see that Natalia was not really a
woman. She appeared so naturally feminine in his black uniform. Her
shoulders were narrow, her chest was obviously enhanced, and she wore a
black skirt. And Alejandra could tell Natalia's chest was not enlarged
by enhancers or breastforms. Natalia had obviously went through breast
enlargements. Natalia appeared as any other woman in the shadow corps.
The Princess knew her, of course. She encouraged his military career and
helped him attend officer's candidate school and his promotions through
the ranks. She knew Natalia was actually a man and had little real
desire to become an actual woman. She only dressed as a woman full time
and lived as a woman for her career. But she remained a biological man
and having male bodyparts except for the chest area.
Alejandra looked at Vivian and commented, "Vivian, I didn't think you
were attracted to men at all. What is this?"
She shrugged and said, "Natalia convinced me to give him a chance, and I
made an exception for him. It was a good choice."
Then Alejandra looked at Natalia, "Natalia. I gave you an invitation to
the banquet, but I didn't seriously think you would attend given your
last bridal banquet with that Baron Vargos and what they did with you.
And you are with Vivian. Her presence is required, but I thought you
were going home."
"Vivian convinced me to attend the banquet. I have to say it was
convincing to see these people pay for what they did to us. And Knox
and Hastings may merge in the future," Natalia smiled longingly into
Vivian's eyes.
"Merge," Alejandra replied shocked. "Who would merge into who?"
"Hastings would merger into Knox. She may buy me out, and the deal is
worth billions," Natalia replied.
"But what of your inheritance you fought tooth and nail for?" Alejandra
asked.
"Fuck it," Natalia replied harshly. "It's what my father built. After
what he planned for me, I don't care about it. I fought to solely own
it all, and now I can do what I want with it. It's fitting that it will
no longer exist and be adsorbed by Knox shipbuilding. We will be the
most powerful shipping company in the entire world. I will get billions
from the deal and still be a very powerful man. And a woman will run
his company." Natalia laughed.
"Okay," Alejandra said with a smile. "What about your girlfriend,
Cynthia?"
A woman stepped up from the assembled troops and said, "We could not
maintain a relationship if Vivian intends on transitioning as far as she
said. I am not attracted to other women, and we agreed to separate. I
am attracted to men and, if Vivian is too, that is fitting. I wish them
well."
Alejandra thought it was very. This was great. Vivian and Natalia
together would be an extremely powerful and fearsome couple. That was a
good thing, and they would have an extremely powerful company on the
world stage. Many people would be seriously sorry for how they treated
the two. Alejandra smiled darkly to herself. "I am glad both you
decided to attend. You two will be part of a show that these people
will never forget for as long as they live."
They walked out of the manor to see her troops assembled and waiting.
The commanders were in the front.
The women wanted to laugh at the large, feminized man standing in front
of them. Even Vivian felt like laughing at the Duke with the dark
hickies showing prominently on his neck. Vivian had accepted the name
and the title of Archduchess Vivian Knox. Few really knew she used to
be a man. She was introduced as a female noble from Castile. She stood
there in a very elaborate crimson gown and wearing a Duchess's crown.
Vivian looked fearsome and serious with a black pin of the Falangist
party. The pin was black with the red arrows crossed. She stood there
proudly holding Natalia's hand.
But their princess's appearance made a bigger impact on them all. She
was standing there proud, wearing the bright red and black gown of her
royal house. Her beautiful tiara drew everyone's attention. Vivian
understood the colors, and she knew this was going to be a banquet those
bastards would never forget. It would haunt their nightmares. The
princess from the royal house of De Rivera standing in front of them all
wearing her royal colors with her troops there. Her taking control of
the area and informing them all that she was now the law and the people
of the country would follow her orders or else. And showing her
husband, the Duke as her submissive bride wearing the bliss mask and
having hickies, to be unveiled. The message would be unmistakable.
This was their nightmare, and they would never forget it. Everything
was about to change, and Vivian was so happy this was happening to them.
She had been helpless before them, and they would now experience that
same helplessness. Their suffering was only beginning.
"Soldiers of the Castile Empire, Commanders, Members of the Shadow
Corps, and Guards, I present to you Vivian Knox, from the house of
Knox, The Archduchess of all of Aragon. And Natalia Hastings, her
consort. This is the dawn of a new era," shouted Princess Alejandra.
"This is the reunification of our two countries, Aragon and Castile.
This is the sword of justice that will free the oppressed and suffering
under the cruel laws of Aragon. Suffering that a few here know all too
well." She was looking at Vivian and Natalia standing beside each
other. "And many thousands of others. This will be the justice they
deserve. They will be freed, and the cruel will feel the suffering that
they so happily inflicted on the helpless," the Princess said to her
people.
"Upon my marriage to this Duke. I was told by the beautician that did
this to me that, in an arranged marriage, the bride not only gains an
unwanted husband but loses all forms of self-determination. That may be
true according to the cruel and unjust laws of this land. But it is
also true for countries. In a unification between two countries, one
country always loses it's independence and rights of self-determination
for its people and its laws. Aragon will experience what that is like.
Its people will be helpless, its courts will be considered irrelevant
and immaterial. Its people will have to obey, or they will suffer our
wrath. When our soldiers start patrolling their cities and their
streets, their people will know how helpless they have become. They
made a drastic mistake, and now they must pay for it."
Alejandra stood in front of them and commanded her soldiers to bow their
heads, "Let us pray to our Lord for victory over the oppressors and for
the freedom of our people held as slaves in this cruel country. Bow
your heads and let us pray the Apostles Creed."
They were all catholic, and they all bowed their heads and began
praying, and then Alejandra led her people through the Rosary. They
prayed their Hail Marys and went through the entire sorrowful mysteries
of the rosary.
Then all of the soldiers extended their right arm out and began singing
their anthem, Cara Al Sol out loud. The Princess ended the song by
shouting, "Castile."
The soldiers shouted, "Una."
"Castilla," the princess shouted.
"Grande," the soldiers replied.
The princess again shouted, "Castilla,"
The soldiers shouted in return, "Libre."
"Arriba Castilla," Alejandra shouted loudly.
The Soldiers shouted, "Arriba." Meaning rise.
Alejandra approached Vivian and Natalia and asked if they were ready for
what was to come. Vivian said, "Yes," without hesitation. Natalia was
less sure of it. She was the last male to be forced through such a
marriage. Natalia looked up with determination and said firmly, "Yes,
indeed. I am ready."
Alejandra looked at the commander and said, "I will need two squads of
the Shadow Corps. That will be fifty soldiers total for this banquet to
maintain control. Archduchess Knox, are you ready to proceed?"
Vivian shivered at the memories. Then she said firmly, "Absolutely."
Then she looked at Natalia and asked, "And are you ready to proceed?"
He shivered harder, remembering attending one of these banquets in
chains and being humiliated beyond all reason. He broke down at his
banquet and cried.
"Absolutely," Natalia said firmly. The vivid memories of her last
banquet she attended was going through her mind. But she refused to let
it weaken her. She was a seasoned major in the special forces. She could
handle this.
"This one will be very different. After all, Duke Jose here will be the
unwilling bride. You will be here with the Archduchess and one of the
ones in control of the events. And you will see how much will change
there. I think you will enjoy being part of that change," Alejandra
said Natalia seeing her tremble at the memories of a horrible past.
Natalia nodded with a determined dark look in her eyes. They got in
their limousines and left for the Banquet. Very vivid and horrific
memories raced through Vivian's mind about the last bridal banquet she
was at. It was a very traumatic event for her, and she really dreaded
attending this one. But she knew she would be safe, and it would not be
the typical banquet by any means. So she did want to see what the
princess had planned and how the guests would react.
They proceeded to the banquet hall, and Natalia's mind was filled with
traumatic memories of her being taken into this very building with her
mask on and her hands and legs bound by iron shackles. She trembled at
the horrific memories, but this time she was free and one of the women
in charge. Natalia went into the banquet hall, holding Vivian's hand,
and the princess followed them, preceded by her feminized husband
wearing the mask with his hands and legs bond by iron shackles. Natalia
and Vivian had little sympathy for the humiliated man as he entered the
banquet hall.
Natalia came face to face with the last person she ever wanted to see
again. She stopped just inside of the doorway and looked at the cruel
woman in front of her. She nearly snarled, "Leanne, what the hell are
you doing here?" She was tightly gripping her sidearm and unsnapped the
holster, ready to draw her weapon.
Leanne stopped for a moment and looked at the angry woman standing in
front of her. She did not know who this angry woman was. She looked
nothing like anyone she met before. The woman looked beautiful, but she
also looked extremely angry and vicious. There was a dark cruelty in
this woman's eyes that was very unsettling. She replied, very unsure of
what was happening, "I was forced to attend. The Princess's people came
to my place and told me I had to come to this Banquet. I suspect all of
the other guests were rounded up and forced here at gunpoint. We
weren't given a choice. But, excuse me, who are you? I have no idea who
you are or why you are so angry."
Natalia posed and glared into Leanne's eyes as she began to recognize
this woman. There was a spark of recognition in her eyes. She said,
"Typically, in my job, I go by the name Natalia. As you see, my uniform
and my duties, it's much easier if they see me as a woman like them. But
we met many years ago. You forced me to become a woman, when you
prepared me for a wedding, I never agreed to. I was enslaved and
brutalized because of you. You should know me, Leanne. My name was
Martin. You all wanted to call me Marcia. But women are part of my life
now, I have it back, and Anthony has nothing to say about it anymore. I
am free."
How could this stunning woman be Martin, but Leanne saw as she looked
into his eyes. It would almost be funny that Martin was now living as a
woman after protesting, fighting, and hating it for so long. But this
was no laughing matter. She saw the uniform he was wearing, the badges,
his rank, and the women he joined. This was no laughing matter at all.
Martin was now a very powerful, cruel, and fearsome woman named Natalia.
She tried to protest, "You are really the Martin I met years ago that
fought to retain his manhood. Wow, I never would have guessed. But that
marriage was signed by your family. I know you disagreed, but that was
how we do things, and that was a marriage you had to accept. It wasn't
my doing. I had nothing to do with putting you there. I just had a job
to do. But it looks like you are doing well as a woman, Natalia. It
looks like we were all very successful in transforming and training you
for womanhood."
"I seriously doubt this is what you and the Baron intended. As for how I
am doing, I am doing as well as can be expected," Natalia replied. "No
thanks to you after what you did to me in this very building about two
long years ago. I will repay you for that," she said, affectionately
holding the Vivian's hand.
Leanne giggled a little and then said, "Natalia, you should know that
woman's hand you are holding is really a man. I should know, I was the
one involved in transforming him."
"She is no man," Natalia replied between her teeth. "I know she is all
woman. I am proud of her. But I know what you cruelly put her through.
I know that all too well. You are a monster, Leanne. And we will make
you pay for the horrors you inflicted on us. We were both raped and
enslaved because of you, and we could do nothing about it. You even
punished us for trying to avoid being raped."
Now Leanne understood. They had united through the pain that was
inflicted on them.
The princess spoke up loudly, "Leanne, I present to you, the new
archduchess of all of Aragon, Vivian Knox, from the noble house of Knox.
Newly appointed by the Empress herself. And Major Natalia Hastings, and
Baron of the Vargos Barony. Soon to be called Hastings."
Leanne viably shuddered at the idea that someone so full of hatred and a
desire for vengeance could be appointed to such a powerful position over
them. She looked up at Vivian and giggled. She could not see any man
there anymore. Leanne figured that sooner or later, she would accept
her own nature. Vivian looked totally natural as a woman. She was much
more feminine now than when she worked on Vivian before.
Leanne laughed. "Vivian, archduchess. You are letting yourself be
transformed into a woman after resisting it so much with me. You may
want to seriously think about this, Victor. Your manhood seemed to be a
very important part of your identity before, and now you are willing to
surrender it?"
"I only did not want to submit to a man forcing me for his desire,"
Vivian replied firmly. "And don't call me Victor. You all wanted to
transform me in order to weaken my resistance to the man who was raping
and abusing me. This offer is made by the people who rescued me and
have my best interests in mind. That makes all of the difference. And
you all knew my nature then, but I was unwilling to surrender to you."
Natalia approached Leanne aggressively until her face was inches from
Leanne's. She looked over her shoulder at Vivian, and Vivian smiled and
nodded. Natalia turned to glare into Leanne's eyes and nearly snarled,
"I was violated and raped countless times because of you. You didn't
care one bit of the pain I endured because of your efforts to make me
attractive and feminine for the rapist. You only cared about what the
rapist wanted. Vivian and I think you should experience some of it
yourself."
Vivian watched as Natalia rudely shoved her hand under Leanne's blue
dress and cupped her vagina. Natalia began pressing on Leanne's Vagina
and rubbing it, savoring its softness and wetness as she slowly and
forcefully massaged it. Leanne cried out at the violation as Natalia
glared into her eyes, enjoying her feeling of violation. "This little
bit is nothing compared for what I went through for over a year, because
of you. But unlike what happened to me when I fought and molested you
then, nothing will be done to me now. You can report this to the
police, and they will do nothing. The Archduchess will control them and
take administrative control over this area very soon. Our laws will
reign supreme. You are helpless, and there's a loophole in the laws
protecting women. If the person was involved in trafficking, people
like me and Vivian. They are exempt from the protections in regards to
her victims. That is me and Vivian. You involved yourself in human
trafficking and abused the Victims. You get to experience it yourself
now."
Then Natalia forcefully shoved in two large fingers into her, and she
cried out even more. "So you aren't a virgin. I suspected so. We are
looking for your son. And we will find him soon."
"Please," Leanne cried. "He is innocent and didn't hurt anyone."
"Neither did Vivian. And I never hurt anyone either."
Natalia violently inserted another finger deep into Leanne as she cried
in humiliation. She began to break down, but no one really cared about
her. They all regarded her as scum. Even the Princess simply smirked
in approval of what the vile woman was suffering.
"What about you and Anthony's sister? You were arrested for assaulting
her. That's why he was so angry with you, Natalia," Leanne moaned out
as Natalia was violating her.
"I came on to her a little hard, and I paid for it with several nights
in jail and a fine. What happened to me is so far beyond what I did to
her that it's insane to even try to compare the two. She totally
recovered, but I never will. I wake up screaming in terror many nights.
I seriously doubt she suffered any trauma because of what I did. I will
never feel safe again. He raped me every single night for over a year,
and you ensured I remained there and was pretty for him."
Then she pulled her fingers out of Leanne and grabbed the top of her
dress, and violently ripped it down, exposing her lace bra. Natalia
ripped it off of Leanne's body, exposing her breasts to everyone in the
room. Leanne screamed and covered herself. Tears began flowing down her
face.
Natalia laughed and said, "You would strip me nude in front of everyone
in the room. What are you screaming about, bitch. This is how we both
felt every day of our lives under you, Leanne," Natalia sneered. "You
humiliated us and violated us for over a year. For Vivian, it was three
long years. It wasn't directly under you. But you did your part to
break us. You violated us relentlessly and cared nothing for what we
were suffering. But this is how we felt when you did your work on us.
And we will see to it that you do learn how it feels, personally. I
will make contact with your family."
Leanne said defiantly, "They will never agree to any offer, Natalia."
Natalia just smirked, "As greedy as you all are, And how desperate your
family is for money, I bet there are ways I could convince them. I am
sure of it. Will be very convincing to your mother, and I'm sure there
are ways to get them to agree to a deal. I know I can convince them."
"But what about your girlfriend, Vivian. You cant agree to this, can
you, Vivian? Your boyfriend marrying another woman." Leanne pleaded.
Knowing Natalia was right.
Vivian just smirked evilly, "We still love each other. We can have an
arrogant little slave girl to play with and beat into submission. It
won't affect our relationship at all. It will be more exciting. It's
like that Baron Natalia was forced to marry. That was no marriage, the
Baron only wanted a feminized slave girl to abuse while he was really in
love with another."
Then Natalia drew her gun and cruelly pressed it against Leanne's
forehead and got in her face. She snarled, "I also have power here.
The Archduchess appointed me as Baron. As Baron, I could blow your head
off right here, Leanne, right now, and no one would do a thing about it.
Now, I have absolute power over all of your very lives, and your
freedom. I told you years ago that you would be sorry."
Leanne had not expected this at all. Now she was kneeling and trembling
in terror as Natalia pressed a gun against her temple. The cruel look
in Natalia's face spoke volumes. The Princess and her guards clearly
weren't going to lift a finger for her. The princess abused her too.
No one really cared about her at all. And Natalia suffered so much
under her that it looked as if she was going to blow Leanne away.
Natalia removed the gun from her forehead and holstered it. Letting
Leanne up, Natalia said in a tone as cold as ice, "I want you to
survive, Leanne and be witness to this event and what is to come. I
also have some very personal plans for you later. You and I will have a
lot of fun later and you will be as helpless as I was to do a thing
about it. Let's prepare for a show you all will never forget."
Of course, Natalia or Vivian weren't going to approach Leanne's family
at all. They didn't want Leanne but she didn't know that. Natalia
seriously doubted Leanne would survive more than a year with them if
they were serious about their threat. Natalia wasn't going to bother her
son either. But Leanne thinking that was possible would make her suffer
far more. Natalia just smiled.
Leanne trembled at what Natalia said and very reluctantly went to the
main hall and sat down with the guests. She wasn't used to simply being
a guest at these events, but she had no part in the actual event this
time. But they weren't really guests here. They were hostages held at
gunpoint She was just going to be a helpless witness to the horror
these people had planned. She was filled with dread, and she knew how
cruel the princess was. Leanne was filled with dread and fear as the
time was approaching. Leanne couldn't help but notice the colors of the
gown that the princess was wearing for this banquet. That also sent
chills down her spine, and she began to realize the hell that was coming
their way.
Leanne wondered why Natalia or Vivian and the rest of these people
couldn't understand that these were simply marriages determined by the
family. Nothing more than that, and the family together should have the
right to determine these things among themselves. It was part of their
culture and should be accepted. But Vivian and the princess were
enraged at what was happening and were determined to stop it and punish
them all. It really didn't seem right to Leanne, but with the force
that was here, there appeared to be little anyone could do about it now.
They were determined to inflict their wrath on the country. Leanne
could do nothing about it.
The princess and one of her guards approached the announcer to inform
her of the changes to the event. The announcer protested that this
wasn't how it was done, and she was not prepared for these last-minute
changes. The announcer was simply ignored by the princess, who simply
had the woman forcibly seized by her guards and removed from the
building. She was thrown out the door. The Princess would handle the
announcements and the procession of the banquet herself. The princess
had a lot of experience leading events.
The guests who were forced to attend this at gunpoint, were taken from
their homes this morning in order to attend this banquet. They were all
shaken and trying to figure out what this was all about. Then they saw
the powerful Duke forced on stage dressed as a sexy woman, wearing
bright red pumps and rings in her toes and fingers. He was wearing the
Bliss Mask and a purple veil. His neck was covered in dark hickies.
The guests were all watching in fear and then were further horrified
when the royal princess, the bride, walked on stage in her Tudor like
gown with the royal colors of the house of De Rivera and wearing the
crown of the royal princess of Castile. They were then further shocked
when the black-suited guards of the princess walked on stage fully
armed, and they saw more guards in the corners of the hall watching the
guests very closely. The message was crystal clear. The princess was
now in control, and they could do nothing about it.
Some of them thought that surely their president and their military
would put a stop to this. They had no way of knowing that the local
police forces could not even begin to do anything about what was
happening now.
The Princess took the microphone and announced, "I know you weren't
going to attend this event until my guards took you at gunpoint. All of
you were there for my wedding and heard my threat a few days ago. You
all should have listened to me then. Some of you attended Martins's
wedding years ago. I, the bride of Duke Cordoba, am the crown princess
of Castile, Alejandra Primo De Rivera. And I am here to present the
powerful Duke you all admire and respect. I am also proud to present,
as the princess and representative of our empress Elsa, your new
Archduchess of Aragon, Vivian Knox, from the noble house of Knox. And
her consort, Natalia Hastings, who some of you may know. Formally
Marcia Vargos. They are here to repay the kindness you all showed them
during their bridal banquet years ago. It was an event that haunts
their dreams, and they want to repay your kindness."
Many of the guests wanted to protest, but the fully armed guards holding
heavy automatic rifles made them rethink it.
"And now," Princess Alejandra proudly announced, "we are here to present
the fully consummated bride to the general public and unmask her.
Unfortunately, that bride is not me today. I refused to be demeaned in
such a way. I am a royal Princess, even if you can see a few hickies on
me. That's it, but we are here to present your proud Duke, Jose
Cordoba, to his people."
Alejandra smiled widely as guards ushered the Duke in front of them all.
Vivian loved this so far as the massive duke who thought he would get to
degrade the princess was now being degraded in front of his people. The
Duke's veil was slowly lifted up and removed. The Duke's Bliss Mask was
slowly unbuckled in front of his people. His pretty made-up face was
presented to all of his people. He nearly broke down crying.
Vivian sneered hatefully at the Duke. She knew men like this very well.
Her Duke was a lot like this. She was happy to see such a man be
diminished in front of his people.
Alejandra proudly announced, "Now, I present to you, Duke Jose Cordoba,
Duke of Cordoba. As of this moment, I will be taking political control
of this area. His power and responsibility will now be administered by
the Princess of Castile, the Archduchess Vivian Knox, and her consort
Baron Hastings."
The guards ushered the Duke off stage. Unknown to many of the guests,
he was shackled and loaded into a military truck and taken to an
airfield and was going to be on his way to a reeducation camp in Castile
very shortly. He was going on a trip as the Princess took control.
The Princess gave Vivian the mike and allowed her to speak. They all
knew she was going to have a lot of harsh things to say about them all.
Leanne really dreaded this. She knew Vivian well.
"This is very ironic, but you deserve it all," Vivian said harshly to
the crowd. "I remember the last banquet I attended here with you all.
I was shackled and was given no choice in anything. I was sold and
enslaved by the man I was married to and humiliated beyond all belief.
I was assaulted nightly by a sadistic Duke, and you all celebrated it
all as if it was acceptable and normal. I was freed, and the sadistic
Duke of Mendoza is gone. And here I am as your archduchess, and you are
all helpless before me. I hold the power over your very lives, and you
can do nothing but submit or die. You sadistic criminals, rapists,
slavers, and vile scum deserve it. You are a nation of sadistic rapists
and scum. I am proud to be a citizen of Castile and a representative of
the empress. And I am here to deliver your punishment for your cruel
actions. Just remember that you have it coming."
Many of the guests wanted to protest, including Leanne, but they knew
better. The armed guards pointing guns at them made them very silent.
Natalia took the mike and said harshly, "I also remember my banquet. I
was so demeaned and humiliated. I used to be a regular man who had no
desire to be feminine. I was forced to become a feminized male. I had a
total breakdown right here on the stage as my mask was removed. I had
been violated and raped multiple times every night by the man you were
celebrating, the Baron Vargos. You all enjoyed the ceremony so much and
thought it was sweet as my life was being destroyed by him. We will now
see how sweet you think this is in the coming weeks. I, too am happy to
be a part of this process." Natalia smiled, an evil wolfish smile.
The princess took the microphone again and loudly said to them all,
"Will Baron Eduardo Francisco come to the stage," the Princess ordered.
The Baron shook as he stood up and approached the stage very hesitantly.
The princess sneered at him with a lot of hostility. She said in an
extremely threatening angry tone, "You have your own wife who was very
unwilling to marry you, and you forced her too, Baron?"
He shook worse as a timid young woman approached the stage and stood by
the Princess. Her face wore a look of pure hatred as she looked out at
the guests and at her husband. The princess introduced her as Carol.
The Baron's voice was quiet as he tried to defend himself, "The brides
usually are very shy and have second thoughts. Her family made this
decision for her. I married her and gave her a good life."
The princess said, "You humiliated her, raped her, and enslaved her to
your will. She never got a say in the marriage, and you had her body
changed against her will, didn't you? You had her breasts enlarged for
your sick desire."
The Baron said, "Many women want breast enlargements and such. I gave
her so much, she would never have had without me. We now have a
family," he said, trying to defend himself.
Then the princess said coldly, "You forced it all on Carol, and she
never got a say in it. You never gave her a choice. You simply made
the decision and forced her to obey it. She never got a choice."
Then she gave the microphone to the young woman. Carol ranted for some
time describing the force the Baron used on her, the punishments she
endured, and how he humiliated and demeaned her. She described the
marriage ritual and the mask and how her dreams were to be a soldier and
serve her nation of Castile before she was sold to the Baron here in
Aragon. She described the horror she suffered and was forced to bear
the sick man's children.
At the end, Carol was shaking from rage and shock. Natalia said gently,
holding the shivering woman, "You will be free of him as of now, and I
will make sure you can take your children to Castile and have more than
enough to provide for your kids. You will never have to see this
monster again."
Leanne was impressed with how Martin seemed to care for this shivering
woman's suffering. He never cared much about women's suffering before,
but he did now. He would tell her that it was a woman's place, but he
shouldn't be treated like that. This was a vastly different Martin.
But, this was Natalia.
The Baron protested about taking his children until he saw a gun
pointing right at his face, held by the Princess. The Baron quickly
shut up. Then Natalia said, "You were close friends with Baron Anthony
Vargos, weren't you?" She even sounded very naturally feminine.
The Baron admitted he was and missed his friend. That was a huge
mistake.
"And you stood by doing nothing as he tormented a male bride he forced
into a marriage with him and feminized and humiliated that young man
beyond all belief. That Baron wrecked and destroyed that young man's
life just like you did to Carol."
"That man's family made that decision, and the Baron had his rights."
Then Natalia said loudly, "Will Leo Vargos approach the stage, please?"
A shivering older man walked up the stage, escorted by a fearsome armed
woman. He was shaking and very unsteady as he approached, filled with
fear.
Natalia glared at that older man. "You were the late Baron Anthony
Vargos' father, weren't you?" he demanded in a tone as cold as ice.
Leanne was filled with dread now. She knew what was coming.
"Yes," he wheezed. "But Martin, I mean Natalia, you must understand. I
had nothing to do with what my sick son did to you. Please understand I
could do nothing for you."
"I prefer Natalia now. Yes, you could have," replied Natalia coldly as
she was holding a gun in her hand. "There's a lot you could have done.
You saw me that day I was presented to you, unable to speak. My mouth
taped shut under the Bliss Mask. And my hands shackled. You knew what
was going on."
"No, we didn't," Leo protested. "We knew nothing of what was happening.
I had no idea, none of us did. Please."
"Your wife found out, and she abused me for being part of all of this.
You did nothing to stop any of it." Natalia nearly shouted and lifted
the gun to be pointed right at Leo's head. He cried out as Natalia
discharged a round right into Leo's head, and it tore through the back
of his head. Leo fell dead, blood pooling out of the back of his head
onto the stage.
At the same time that Natalia had fired, the princess also pulled the
trigger and ejected a round right into the Baron's head. The loud blast
from the guns sounded through the entire hall, shocking and horrifying
the guests as they covered their ears. The Princess had just executed
the Baron in front of all of the guests as Natalia executed Leo on
stage. The round tore through the Baron's head and ended up in the wall
behind him. The Baron fell back and collapsed. Blood was pouring from
the back of his head and pooling around him.
Leanne was completely horrified. She knew there was a reason she
dreaded this. She saw the Princess' anger and rage when she attempted
to work with the young woman. But she had known from the very beginning
that this was trouble. Now she knew why as she watched Alejandra and
Natalia execute men in front of them all. Leanne felt pure terror now.
Alejandra took the microphone and boldly announced, "I am now your
sovereign and lord. You will now obey me and the forces that are now
going to be in charge of your streets, patrolling your cities and towns
in this area. Your sadism and cruelty will cease, or you will be
punished like this sadistic, perverted Baron and Leo. Carol is now free
to determine the course of her own life once again, thanks to Martin.
It should be everyone's right, but it is something you thought you had
the right to take from people. I am here to tell you that you are
wrong. You will obey me or suffer the fate of Baron Francisco."
Then the princess selected a number of the noble guests and ordered them
to be taken away as prisoners. The soldiers handcuffed their hands and
put them in leg irons, and they were taken away at gunpoint.
The princess said, "Those men also had women they forced into marriages
with them. They will be taken to labor camps in Castile as punishment
for their crimes. They are slavers and rapists, but all of you aren't
much better. You knew what those men were doing. You knew what Duke
Mendoza was doing, and you did nothing to stop them or help their
victims. You are all guilty."
Natalia walked off the stage and went over to where Leanne was sitting.
She wore a cruel grin as she approached Leanne. Leanne was frightened
after watching Natalia simply execute a man in front of them all.
Leanne had begun to regret how she treated Martin. Gone was the
innocent and very naive man she first met years ago. Martin had turned
into a dark and very cruel man filled with a need for revenge. He
became a woman named Natalia. She stood in front of Leanne and asked
her, "You look like you are around a 36 C. Am I right about that?"
She shuddered, humiliated, and blushing, "That's about right."
"Are you on birth control right now, Leanne?" Natalia bluntly asked.
"No," Leanne said loudly. "Not that it's any of your business, you
pervert."
"After being involved in human trafficking for most of your adult life,
and violating me and other men for years, you have no place calling
anyone else a pervert. You are undoubtedly the pervert. You and the men
you work for. But I suggest you get on birth control soon. I will be
visiting you at home very soon, and you will feel the sickening
violation we all felt every night, very personally, and there is not
anything you can do about it."
Then Natalia turned and walked away, headed toward Constance.
Natalia approached Constance sitting in the front, nearly in tears at
seeing her husband executed in cold blood. Natalia whispered in the
older woman's ears, "I have just killed your husband, you bitch. You
have nothing left. I destroyed your entire family. Your daughter is
dying, she has become sterilized. Her children are dead. Your family is
destroyed. You have no heirs, no more legacy. You only have yourself to
blame for this. You could have helped me, but you abused me during my
captivity."
Leanne was disgusted and horrified. She knew that by their reasoning,
this princess had just labeled all of the citizens of Aragon as rapists.
The horrifying banquet was over, and everyone was allowed to return to
their estates.
Vivian, Natalia, and the Princess went back to the Duke's estate alone
and began to plan a trip to New York.
Vivian also knew she would have to begin her transition very soon. The
Empress gave her by the end of the week to begin, and Vivian began to
make plans to make good on her promise.
