“Madam. Please smile brightly. The portrait will serve as evidence to alleviate the charges against the wife, but a smiling face is better than a frowning face.”

Anastasia spoke with a calm expression, without a hint of arsenic on her lips. Yvonne exercised her utmost patience and forced a smile. Fortunately for Yvonne, the artist did not pay attention to the ripe female body and just did his job.

On the other hand, Anastasia’s eyes were filled with bitterness over the poor woman’s body. Skin as smooth as a jar was a characteristic of a pretty lady. Anastasia thought that even if she could use all the expressions that could be combined in letters and sentences, such as a sharp nose and white skin, it would not be enough to express Yvonne’s beauty.

“……”

Ironically, Yvonne felt more shame from the gaze of Anastasia, a woman, than from the gaze of the artist, a man. The bright red lips that forced a smile trembled. The Heretic Questioner’s gaze turned downward again. In particular, the brown nipples on her plump breasts caught her eye.

“Please stand up straight. If you are careful, you may leave traces on the picture. Such traces could be mistaken for marks.”

Whenever Yvonne’s posture was disturbed, Anastasia, instead of the painter who did not say anything, would play around with her tongue. Every time that happened, Yvonne blushed and worked hard to adjust her posture. Anastasia secretly smiled as she remembered the flawless white Yvonne and the contrasting situation of the maids.

“Ugh…”

For Yvonne, who was not even a professional model, these times were an unbearable hell. She inadvertently thought about admitting the charges, but soon changed her mind. It couldn’t be done for herself, the Verdier family, or Emma and Lily. Yvonne knew that this issue was not limited to her.

“It will take quite a long time, but please wait patiently.”

Anastasia’s eyes moved down. The eyes followed the smooth flowing curves of the woman’s body, reaching her toes and then moving up again. Yvonne did not shed any tears. With a sad smile, I desperately hoped that this hellish time would end.

Even after the artist took the easel and paintings and left, Yvonne was not given any time to rest. Anastasia enjoyed the time she spent looking at Yvonne shivering with shame while she painted the portrait, but she also thought it was a waste of time.

“Are you crying? ma’am? I will give you a handkerchief, but the interrogation will not be stopped.”

Anastasia, seeing Yvonne shedding tears of shame, sneered. It may be better than the poor maids, but Anastasia was quietly excited at the thought of giving Yvonne a formidable memory. But Anastasia frowned when she heard a knock on the other side of the door.

Anastasia, who heard the words through the door, turned to Yvonne with an expressionless expression. Yvonne was afraid and raised her hands to cover her body. But instead of hitting on Yvonne, Anastasia picked up the clothes lying on the floor and held them out.

“Congratulations. ma’am. Your wife is expected to be acquitted. The portrait will be destroyed in front of you. The paint hasn’t even dried yet.”

Yvonne was dumbfounded. She put on the cloth Anastasia gave her over her pajamas and got into the carriage without knowing what was going on. She returned to the Verdier mansion without even having time to ask about Emma and Lily. She lay down on the bed in the annex, supported by the maids, and fell into a deep sleep. In her dream, a demon resembling Anastasia laughed at her and punished her. Only after Yvonne woke up did she learn that the Verdier family had donated a considerable amount of money to the Inquisition.

.

Yvonne carefully opened the door and came in. In the room, Pierre de Verdier, the head of the Verdier family, was standing looking at the window.

“I’m sorry for causing trouble to the family.”

Yvonne bowed her head to her father-in-law and asked for forgiveness. Pierre, who was standing with his back to her, made no reply. Instead of despairing over the loss of his late son, he adopted a relative who would become his successor. He was a giant man who killed demons and suppressed rebellions when he was young and supported his family even when he was old.

” was done. Are you feeling okay?”

Yvonne raised her head in response to Pierre’s question. She had inadvertently thought that Pierre would not care about her at all.

“Your maids have already been released. I said I wanted to come back, so I will come back after treatment.”

Yvonne was greatly surprised by Pierre’s words. Even though she was the daughter-in-law, I never thought she would even care about the maids.

“Father.”

Pierre just turned his head slightly. He was a man who hid his emotions as much as possible. That’s why he didn’t shed tears even in front of his son’s coffin. The father buried his son in his chest.

“There is no one in this family who can frame you.”

Pierre raised his fist and clenched it, quietly expressing his anger. Even a man who hides his emotions could not hold back his anger at the Heresy Inquisition’s actions that exceeded its authority.

“I haven’t heard anything about who made the accusation or where. It is doubtful whether such an accusation even occurred. If there is such a person, we will definitely find him, and if not…”

There were nobles who returned after being taken to the Heresy Inquisition. Usually, after receiving a donation and being released, it was considered a disgrace to the family. However, Pierre had no intention of seeing the woman his son loved as a disgrace to the family.

“We will make those who think they are above us pay the price.”

Pierre gritted his teeth. Although the spear that used to stab the demon was not in his hands, his anger pierced the sky.

“……”

Pierre turned to Yvonne, who could not speak. It was a face that hid anger and contained compassion for Yvonne.

“No one in the Verdier family, including me, resents or hates you. I deliberately left you alone to soothe your sorrow, but it seems I made a mistake.”

“If you want to stay in the main building, you can stay in the main building. If you are uncomfortable, you can stay in the annex.”

Pierre smiled at Yvonne. It was a very awkward smile since it had been a long time since she smiled, but to Yvonne, it was an incredibly kind and affectionate smile. Yvonne cried and laughed. The warm sunlight seemed to indicate that spring had arrived.

.

Anastasia quenched her throat with cold water. Unlike interrogation of those without inclinations, ‘play’ allowed one to freely express one’s emotions. Although she was not prone to expressing intense emotions compared to others, she did show her own passionate emotions while enjoying play.

“Ugh…! Ugh, keuhuh…!”

The man had his mouth gagged and his wrists and neck were tied to a small T-shaped frame. Because the frame was in a low position, the man had to bend his knees rather than just bend his waist 90 degrees. The marks of the cane were clearly visible on the buttocks that were pushed back like that.

“You will have to pay a high price for being excited to see the princess.”

Anastasia did not feel awkward at all while calling herself a princess. The man tied to the scaffold groaned in fear and pain and sniffled as soon as he heard Anastasia’s voice. However, unlike those brought to the Inquisition, he was the one who came to Anastasia’s house wearing his best clothes as soon as he received her letter.

“You don’t even think about hiding it anymore? huh? I have very poor manners in front of the princess.”

After replenishing her moisture, Anastasia swung the whip again. Every time he swung his arms, his body made of lean muscles twisted sexy, but the man with his neck stuck in the hole in the frame couldn’t see that. All I could do was squeeze and open my hands, which were tied to the holes next to my throat, to soothe the pain.

“Keueuuu!”

The man groaning after a cane fell on his buttocks was the third son of an aristocratic but Korean-American family, and a low-level official working in a government office. He came to attend Anastasia because of something that happened a year ago.

While being interrogated as a witness because he was involved in some kind of incident, the man revealed his obscene sexual desires to Anastasia. The man, who developed this tendency due to the nanny’s almost abusive punishment, spoke out as if confessing his own desires. Anastasia happily picked up those words. The matter ended without incident, but Anastasia obtained a nice slave to play with.

Fortunately for the man, most of Anastasia’s endless sadism was relieved during the interrogation of the poor victim, so the sadism the man had to endure was nothing more than a play. Of course, the intensity of the pain was still the same, but for a man who is excited by pain, it might actually be a happy thing.

“Lift your butt up straight.”

The whip hit my butt with a sharp sound. The man groaned in pain and jerked his erect penis even more. Anastasia, seeing that, let out a sigh and a laugh. The frustration I had from not being able to interrogate Yvonne subsided.

“Standing up while being spanked. Pathetic bastard. You have no intention of satisfying the sexual desires of a lowly bastard like you?”

Anastasia thought that she had nothing to do with the commonly known feminine charm, but when she played, she wore clothes that revealed all of her bare skin. Her theory was that men are a group of people who get excited just by looking at naked women.

“Instead, I will give you the rod of love. Take the princess’s love straight.”

Instead of a whip, Anastasia held a thick wooden paddle. It was a paddle with the word ‘GUILTY’ engraved upside down. Because it was quite large, Anastasia held the paddle with both hands and measured it by placing it on the man’s poor buttocks.

“Be prepared. Damn you bastard.”

The man shrugged his butt. The sight was clearly visible to Anastasia, so she raised the corners of her mouth. Then he raised the paddle high and swung it with all his might.

“Ugh…!”

It’s different from whipping! The heavy sound of flesh hitting flesh and suppressed moans could be faintly heard. There was a letter on the table in the study. It was the news that Anastasia had been looking forward to, that preparations were well underway to arrest the daughter of Ordelapi.
