Rematch with Marietta, The Princess Knight with the Cursed Sword Roars!
The ornate parade is over and people begin heading home. Despite some irregularities, it seems the adults and children all left feeling recharged and happy. Currently the avenue the parade took place on is dyed in the reds and oranges of sunset and has become rather shaded. Meanwhile, Serena and Irene were in a storage room hidden away in a corner of the castle. Irene is trembling while still wearing the bikini armour while Serena stares at her with a questioning look. Thanks to the effects of a magical talisman, there is no chance a soldier or maid will approach here.
"This was all because of Marietta's actions… this is the worst."
"She promised not to lay a hand on Serensama… Fuck… that bitch!"
Knowing they both have been fooled, the two grind their teeth and chew their lips in frustration. Both are furious at having had their important person toyed with and humiliated. They absolutely cannot forgive Marietta.
"I'm sorry Irene. You were suffering but I only worried about myself… I'm disqualified as a Princess Knight."
"That's, don't lower you head! I have no excuse, I also did exactly as that woman ordered me! I can only be ashamed of my failures!"
"Thank you. Our self-recrimination is over now. Now we have to think of how to defeat that woman. Working together now, we can overcome any crisis!"
"Yes Serensama!"
Giving a bright smile, Irene's eyes are moist with tears. It seems like beating Marietta is impossible to her, but seeing Serena smile so courageously, she can't help but feel her heart tremble with hope.
"Now let's think of how to start this. That resurrection power is definitely a problem, but there's no such thing as a truly immortal monster. How should we defeat it?"
"I'll leave that up to you. I have no idea how to beat that monster. Instead, is Serensama sure her powers can beat her. Is just that enough?"
"How silly, as long as we're righteous and brave, we'll win. I won't make the same mistakes and let her beat us again."
Following Serena's lead, the two bump their fists together. Their minds made up to defeat the monster threatening the Kingdom while hiding their own shame.
A few days later, early in the morning. Marietta is waiting in a warehouse near the castle town's walls. Inside, the warehouse is so large soldiers could use it as an exercise yard and wooden boxes are arranged neatly while packed with wines and dried meats. Sunlight coming from a window illuminates the erotic skin that is revealed from under her habit making her look even more bewitching. Nearby sits Durandal still sealed with chains binding it.
"You came. I was waiting for you Marietta."
"What did you want to talk about this early? Even worse, you wanted me to bring Durandal. Fuaaa~h, I'm more of a night person you know."
The huge yawn shows that Marietta doesn't feel the slightest bit of tension as Serena who had arrived earlier stands in front of her with her arms crossed over her chest. She is directly glaring at the monster who has been threatening the peace of Alexia. However, there is no hint of the anxiety or shame that has been on her face recently either.
"You've been doing whatever you want. I hope you're prepared."
"I don't know what's changed, but are you planning to challenge me again? If you're just being reckless and calling it courage, you're going to fail."
"Do not look down on Serena Friedo Alexia! Durandal, come!"
From the Princess Knight's palm a huge blast of lighting flies to the sword with a huge cracking sound. The very air vibrates with the strength of the magical power released. However, despite the strength of the blast the chains sealing the sword don't so much as shake and the sword stays where it is.
"…! Did you think merely adding more power to your magic would make a difference?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuu! You're the sword that defends the people of Alexia, show me your loyalty!"
The pretty childish face of the Princess Knight is distorted with pain thanks to the amount of magical power she's releasing. The influence of so much repeated futanari training has left her body accustomed to pleasure and weakened her rights as a successor. However, Serena refuses to give up. She's burning with the desire to save her friend and citizens.
"Guh… you cursed me with this kind of body, so give me the power to match it! Oh, uahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"That, that's completely stupid… How is it going against the restraints sealing it!?"
A huge explosion of lightning and wind occurs blasting throughout the warehouse and forcing Marietta to lift her arms to shield herself from it. Her vision is obscured and when she can finally see again, Serena is standing tall holding Durandal in her hands.
"Welcome back, now, let's go!"
"…it seems I liked down on you a little bit too much. I'll seriously face you then."
Marietta gives a smile as if a proud mother and then takes a strange scorpion-like whip out from her habit. Serena is wrapped in lightning and is easily holding the sword that is bigger than she is. Both weapons flicker and as they collide against one another there is an endless series of ringing crashes. Both combatants stare into the eyes of the other, their feet and stances shifting fluidly.
"If you want to beg for your life, do it now! If you flee never to return I'll allow you to live, if not, I'll kill you!"
"I return your words to you! I am truly immortal, you cannot defeat me!"
Step after step, the distance between them closes. Once they're ten paces apart, both of them jump at one another like arrows shot from bows.
"Hahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Tear her to pieces! Six Whirlwinds!"
"Dissolve flesh and bone into hideous soup! Magic tool Sulphuric Acid Scorpion!"
A huge blade made of wind and a wave of sulphuric acid crash together in the air. Parts of the building crack and melt as the two blow one another apart to crash down randomly.
"Hmph, what a pathetic attack. Knitting is more exciting than this!"
"Guh… ohhhhhh! If you're going to ridicule me… I'll shut your mouth… Magical tool, Steel Skewering Briar!"
Blades rapidly spring from Marietta, six, seven, eight, an endless series of thorn like blades appear like a human killing briar patch. Holes open up in the walls and floors of the warehouse with loud crashing sounds but Serena isn't even scratched by one. Instead, Marietta's habit begins becoming tattered.
"It seems you're already beginning to run out of breath. Perhaps its due to being so old?"
"Fuu… uuu… this girl…!"
Cold sweat begins to appear on Marietta's brow. Despite the huge collection of magical tools and knows every single one of their characteristics she doesn't know what to do. She has nothing that can directly combat Durandal head on.
(I can win! It seems she's not good at direct combat!)
Serena aims at victory while continuously moving her blade. There is no sign of her earlier hesitance and her sapphire blue eyes constantly stare at the figure of her enemy.
"The same trick won't work twice! Wind Spirit Compression!"
"Wha… stop these nonsensical acts!?"
The wind spirits flood into the hole that opens up in the floor and seal it off with pure brute force. The defeat at the church has never left Serena's mind. Deciding to settle things, Serena lifts the cursed blade above her head and begins marshalling her power.
"Limits removed! Come to me one thousand lightning bolts, Ultimate Thunder God's Warhammer of Lightning!"
From Durandal a huge dazzling explosion of lightning explodes out. The strike is an expression of pure destruction in the form of lightning and it easily pierces the protections of Marietta's magical tools. From her head to her feet she is completely incinerated.
"Gah… guahhhhh! Hahh… Ahhh… that was very effective. However, as I've already said, my heart is no longer in my body and if it isn't destroyed I won't die. Attacking me is pointless."
"What do you think about that Irene?"
"I'm ready here Serensama. Let's teach this conceited monster some humility!"
Appearing beside her master is the Silver Lion. Next to Irene is a wooden box with a strange icy blue globe that looks like it's made from blue ice.
"This ice globe is an item out Imperial Court Magician created from dangerous black magic called Ice Erosion. It can freeze anything, even a giant with just a single touch. The ice will then never melt even if dropped into a boiling ocean. Once it freezes you we'll drop you into the deepest water and let you sink to the bottom."
"———–!!"
"Nothing to say? Now get ready to regret threatening Alexia and humiliating us for all eternity!"
With Serena's words Irene extends a hand towards Marietta. Their moment of victory is assured and then…
"Ahh!? Ya, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!? Wha, what is this!?"
""Guh… binding magic!? Who the hell is doing this!?"
"Earth Spirit Binding! I'm sorry, but please stay still!"
The two girls are seized by the magic of court magicians who appear suddenly. A heavy binding of soil solidifies like lead around their limbs and both their physical and magical powers are sealed.
"What the hell are you guys doing!? I'm this nation's Princess Kngiht!"
"You fucking traitors! This is high treason!"
"Treason is the exact reason for this. Serensama, Knight Captain Irene, you are suspected of demonic taint and threatening the safety of this Kingdom!"
Obese belly wobbling, the minister tells them that in a cool voice. In his eyes dwells the exact same magical power that Marietta controls.
"Minister!? What the hell are you saying!"
"From inside the castle I have seen it Serensama. Your body and mind have become corrupted with evil!"
"I didn't want to believe it, but Mariettsama showed us the truth!"
"Eh…?"
"What… that's…!"
The Minister takes out a strange gem and a series of obscenities perpetrated by Serena and Irene appear in the air as if being seen through a window. Images of Serena pissing, Irene shitting slime on a painting and even more. In front of such foolish sights, the two are at a loss for words.
"Excellent timing. I was able to distract them long enough with my acting♥"
"Mariettsama, I'm glad you're safe. Now what is the plan?"
"Of course we'll put them on trial. Myself or the Princess and Knight Captain, we will let the citizens decide who is just♥ It'll be lots and lots of fun♥"
Marietta receives a robe from a court magician as her body begins regenerating. The sadistic glint in her eyes making her look like an evil serpent staring at prey. The shameful futanari execution, soon it will begin.
