※ The IF side story is not related to the main story. In particular, since the probability is low, please enjoy it lightly.

For the Etrusians who had traveled through numerous battlefields, marching was as familiar as a daily meal. However, being dragged around naked and without shoes at the head of a large group of soldiers was something I couldn’t get used to.

“Ugh, ugh. Hmm.”

Moreover, compared to humans, horses had longer legs and longer strides, so she had to move about two feet to catch up with the distance the horse had lost each time it took a step. If you slow down your steps even a little, your upper body leans forward that much.

“Hehe, hehe…”

Every time the upper body was pulled and the lower body fell behind, the bare buttocks were pushed back. The soldiers felt strange when they saw the peach-like buttocks twitching, but they did not openly laugh at the princess. However, the miserable feelings the princess felt were difficult to express in words.

Anastasia, who had been looking straight ahead, secretly turned her gaze to Etrusia. The princess looked truly pitiful as she was dragged around with her wrists tied without being able to cover her body. Moreover, the body seen from the horse looked even more slender for some reason. Of course, it made no sense to find pity and come across as thin in a woman who was called a battlefield hero. But even mythical heroes face destruction the moment their hearts break. With her wings broken, she was no longer the Golden Rider or Lady Ordellaphy.

“Please, give me some water.”

Anastasia smiled and tilted the bucket upside down over the princess’s head.

“I must give it willingly.”

Anastasia laughed softly when she saw him trying to drink water even though he was drenched in water. As Anastasia could see, she was just a woman named Ordelaffi. The princess will never become a hero again.

After that first night, there was no more instances of the princess hanging in front of the soldiers. Maybe that was Anastasia’s personal punishment to her. Instead, every night from Anastasia’s tent, I heard the sounds of spankings, voices telling me to do something, and the sounds of sobbing. Although they were not allowed to look inside the tent without permission, whenever there was a sound outside the tent, the soldiers imagined what was happening inside the tent.

“Page 235, recite from the first verse.”

The princess fell to her knees and trembled at the cold words, which were devoid of any warmth. Even though I tried to regain my memory by rolling my eyes here and there, there was no way I could remember what text was written on which page of the scriptures. It was rare to find someone who was not a priest who could memorize the scriptures well.

“Well, so…uh…”

However, Anastasia was a heresy inquisitor for the church. To become a heresy inquisitor, one had to not only memorize doctrines to identify heresy but also pass numerous tests. Anastasia, who was teaching the princess while sitting on the cot, sighed and pointed her index finger at the princess. The way she lightly tapped her thighs resembled that of a strict nanny or mother.

“You’re really stupid. The princess must be punished. Lie down on my thighs.”

The princess shook her head vigorously. The way he fought to avoid falling on his thighs made him look like a child about to be scolded. Despite her desperate efforts, the princess, who was still holding on to her arms, ended up lying down with her lower abdomen on Anastasia’s thighs. Even to Anastasia, her insignificant, naked body was quite unsightly.

“How stupid. You will have to work hard to wash away your sins.”

With a reprimand, a harsh palm hit my upper buttocks. Corporal punishment of hitting the stomach rather than the thick buttocks was a punishment that only children could receive. But the pain was nothing compared to that.

“Ahaha! evil! I was wrong!”

The princess, who had her red buttocks pinched in the shape of her palm, stamped her feet and shouted. Anastasia didn’t care and slapped the princess’s buttocks. The soldiers, who were eating hard bread boiled like porridge, heard the sound and chatted among themselves.

.

The princess did not remain naked until the end of her journey. Although Anastasia was able to treat the princess as she pleased for a while, strictly speaking, Etrussia has not yet been judged a heretic. A princess who had not yet been sentenced should not show her naked body in front of any outsider, not least in front of soldiers belonging to the Inquisition.

Their march to the Inquisition was far from a triumphal ceremony, and the princess walked in shabby clothes. The soldiers who had laughed at the princess throughout the retreat protected her from the crowd who criticized and jeered her. Thanks to this, the only things thrown at the princess were dirty and obscene words. But that alone was a huge shock to the princess.

“Heresy! You are a heretic!”

“You’re a dirty bitch!”

It wasn’t always a flowery road ahead of Etrussia. Rather, there were many instances of walking on difficult paths and stepping on mud. However, being criticized and reduced to less than human by an unspecified number of people was a problem on a different level. For a princess who sacrificed her life to fight against demons, it was an unbearably humiliating and disgraceful humiliation. Although she didn’t get hit by rotten eggs, cabbage, or anything like that, her heart was in tatters.

The Inquisition did not show any special mercy to the returning princess. The princess, who was locked in the deepest room of the Heresy Inquisition, was placed under tight security. One prison escape worked against the princess. High-ranking officials of the Inquisition demanded full disclosure of the reasons behind the prison escape. But Anastasia had no intention of doing as they wanted.

“Would you like to tell us who the people who helped you escape from prison were?”

Etrusia, who was hanging upside down with her ankles tied, suffered all kinds of pain but did not open her mouth. It didn’t matter to Anastasia. Because she wanted to get the princess. Anastasia, who was trotting along, adjusted the rope and Etrussia’s head was submerged in the large water tank.

Bubbles rose above the surface of the water, and when the movements of the princess, who had been struggling with her hands tied, subsided, the rope was pulled.

“Puhaaa…! Ah, hmm…ugh. Kolok, Keheup.”

Etrusia spat out water from its mouth and nose and jumped around like a fish. Anastasia, looking down at the princess, held her leaking nose tightly with a thin finger.

“Keheup! Kahak!”

“I guess you don’t want to say anything yet.”

Anastasia looked down with an emotionless expression as the princess struggled to breathe, holding her nose. Ethan’s head was submerged in water several times. Because Anastasia consistently refused other inductees, she was the only one who questioned the princess.

“Pahaaa..! Cough! Cough!”

Anastasia bent down and made eye contact with Etrussia, who was breathing rapidly and panting. The princess trembled with fear when she saw the soulless eyes. She was more afraid of seeing Anastasia’s face than being waterboarded.

“If you refuse, I will give you another option. Will you swear eternal obedience to me?”

This time too, Etrusia did not open her mouth. However, the source of silence was not a firm will, but fear and hesitation. Anastasia pushed the princess’s back as she stood on the steep cliff.

“If you do not follow my suggestion, you will end your life as a mere heretic. The knight says he wants beheading as his method of execution, but he won’t be granted that much mercy. Do you know what happens to the body hanging on the gallows? The battered body becomes a feast for crows. Ethan cannot rest in peace even after death. If you are lucky, the body will be handed over to your family, but if you are unlucky… you will be of great help to the advancement of medicine.”

There was no way for the princess to escape. Anastasia blocked all the holes and presented only one path. Although there was not much time left, Anastasia persistently cajoled and threatened the princess.

“If you obey me, I will also protect you. There is no lie in these words. I swear in the holy name of God.”

Etrusia finally put her lips between Anastasia’s legs. The lips of the princess hanging upside down touched her naked vagina. Anastasia was very excited by the caress of clumsily rubbing her lips over her neatly shaved pussy. Rather than a sexual sensation caused by stimulation touching the genitals, it was the pleasure felt by a winner who finally got what he wanted.

After obtaining the statement signed by the princess, Anastasia moved quickly. The Ordelaffi family made a considerable donation to save their only daughter. Anastasia, whose voice within the Inquisition had become stronger due to a series of events, persuaded high-ranking officials that there was more to be gained in terms of justification and utility by showing mercy rather than judging the princess for heresy.

In a trial without any witnesses, it was determined that Etrussia was not a heretic. However, a ruling was made to return to the church for atonement. The person responsible for monitoring Etrusia was Inquisitor Anastasia.

In this way, Anastasia’s choice twisted someone’s fate. Anastasia’s fate would also change due to that choice.
