New Life As A Lewd Futanari Succubus

Chapter 586: It’s Treason, Then

“Are you for fucking real?” Beatrice uttered barely audibly. Those had she screamed it out, it was unlikely anyone would have heard her over the insufferable crowd that turned decisively in Asuna’s favor.. Fine! I cut down that vampiric futa bitch once, I’ll gladly do it again!

Beatrice glanced at her stats to make sure she had her Stamina Points at full.

Fantastic! Beatrice thought, itching to sink her claws into a lying bitch. I’ll take care of this without even spending any of my new Skill Points!

Beatrice prepped her [Sharp Claws (+2)] and felt a hand on her shoulder.

“Wait,” Ember whispered.

“Since when are you hesitating to melt someone’s skin off?” Beatrice asked.

“If you attack her right now, you’ll just prove their point,” Ember said quietly. “Also, the beating we gave those two princesses, it’s not impossible that we severed their connection with the demons, or killed them outright. The more control they take, the more power they lend, the more exposed they are.”

“Well… Whichever thing was inside of this Asuna, it didn’t take it too well when I castrated it inch by inch,” Beatrice thought back to her encounter with ‘Asuna’.

“What’s going on here!?” a young woman called out, rushing from the city to the scene with a handful of Purple Cape soldiers.

The young woman had wavy light-blue hair that barely reached to her shoulders. Her shoulder pads, chest plate, and boots were standard for Purple Cape soldiers, as was her flowing purple cape. However, underneath she wore a black skintight jumpsuit.

“L-Lieautenant Mimi!” A few of the present Purple Cape soldiers turned around when they saw their lieutenant approach.

“Silence!!” Asuna shouted. The soldiers clanged their spears against their shields. The common people quickly shut up. “Captain Flavna! You’ve allied yourself with shapeshifting demons who—among other things—are responsible for: summoning demons into our city; hundreds of killed and wounded in the Forge of Champions; massacring over fifty people in the Palace once they were find out as demons; assaulting and nearly killing two Princesses, and attempt to assassinate the Queen herself. Had it not been for my elder sister’s quick action, I would not have survived their vile attack. Captain Flavna, do you have anything to say for yourself?”

“Do you have an explanation for the appearance of a Sovereign?” Flavna asked. “It’s not something that a couple of low-life demons can pull off.”

“Absolutely ludicrous!” Asuna scoffed.

“Then it’s her word against yours,” Flavna said. “The difference being that captain Gamesh and I both confirmed the presence of a Sovereign in our city. Which means that the one lying is you.”

“Captain Flavna—!” Neri tried to reason, but Flavna ignored her.

“The actions of your younger sister, Mary, already cast a shadow of doubt over the royal family,” Flavna continued. “Unfortunately, I was unable to confirm her true involvement and whether she went rogue before she escaped. For the safety of this city and its citizens, I am left with no other choice but to place the entire royal family under arrest, as well as all their allies and subordinates, until those responsible for allegiance with the demons are found and executed!”

“Just when I thought you could not dig yourself any deeper,” Asuna said with closed eyes before putting her hand on the hilt of the claymore on her back. “Captain Flavna, Captain Gamesh, for conspiring against the Crown, for allying yourself with demon intruders, for assassination of good Lord Belmot and his daughter, for failing to protect the citizens of this city as well as putting them in danger for your own selfish ambitions, I, Asuna Sinatus, the fourth daughter of King Selirius Sinatus, Second Commander of the Palace Guards, hereby permanently disband Purple Cape Guards and place you both under arrest, effective immediately!”

Asuna’s soldiers turned ninety degrees and pointed their spears at the two captains and their guards.

The Purple Cape soldiers looked at one another, trying to figure out what to do.

“Step aside now!” Asuna’s soldiers ordered the people who’ve been trying to get close to Asuna up to this point. The commonfolk did not need to be told twice and scattered. This let the Palace soldiers spread out and quickly form an arch around Flavna’s group.

“Those that ally themselves with demons, must be put down,” Flavna unwavered. “Even if they are members of the Royal Family, even if they do so unwittingly. If you and your soldiers will not surrender willingly, I am left with no other choice. I will take you and your sister alive as witnesses. Purple Capes, to arms!”
