Chapter 82

"Achoo, Achoo" Emily sneezed inside the barrel. The barrel was dusty and had a dingy smell to it. Even the ventilation provided through holes weren't of much help to Emily as the smell of fermentation, wheat and rice wafted to her barrel making her barely able to hold back from puking.

She cursed her bad luck as well as her boyfriend for the state she had been pushed to and swore to beat him up the next time they met. Even though Emily lost contact with Kleever she didn't really wanted to believe that he was in danger and hoped for a positive scenario.

The hole though provided with ventilation wasn't big enough for her to make out what was happening around her and the place was too dark for any kind of light to flow in through the gaps. The dark and silent environment provided a bit of solace to Emily who had been subjected to bullying recently.

She wanted to keep away from people for a certain period to get over her trauma. She had been beaten, her clothes had been torn, her gear including her weapons had been vandalised in a mere 5 days and she felt like she couldn't take this shit anymore especially with the acts escalating each day.

However Emily felt guilty for abandoning her father's dreams and also felt double minded that if she had stayed things would have become better after a period of time or she could have gotten through such treatment with will power. However it was too late for such consideration as she had already taken her decision to leave and was in the midst of transit. 'It's the right choice to leave the Academy, Emily. Even if I had stayed things might not have become better, intact it could have become worse and I could have even got myself killed'.

Emily consoled herself by thinking of the extreme scenarios she might be subjected to incase she stayed. Just as she was getting a bit sleepy in what seemed like a never ending journey in the darkness the carriage came to a stop.

Voices were heard through the holes in the barrel and judging by the tone Emily judged that they were other merchants. Soon Emily heard footsteps within the carriage and felt the carriage and inadvertantly the barrel shake.

"This is the barrel".

"Ok, we will take it with us".

Judging from the voice Emily deduced that someone's barrel was going to be changed to a different carriage. This was something that was mentioned at the start of the journey by the black market broker so it didn't surprise or create any reaction from anyone within the Barrels.

Just as she was wondering who was going to be transported to a different carriage, she felt her Barrel shake and be lifted causing her to be stuck at the back of the barrel and was carried sideways. The shake was intense but being a warrior it caused little to no effect on Emily as she waited in that same pose till she was dropped on a different carriage.

Meanwhile within one of the small cities which was passed by the carnival Cornelia and Sean sat together and ate their breakfast. Sean felt quite odd in engaging in a conversation with Cornelia considering that he had just choked her. Cornelia was on a whole different thought. When she had woken up she saw Sean sleeping on the couch and was twitching and made some sounds. These sounds were more like groans from pain.

Looking at the kid who helped her escape and is currently accompanying her to her final destination, in a nightmare enough to cause him to moan in pain in his sleep made her worried and she had reached out to wake him up.

She repeatedly played the smooth movements Sean had made the second he woke up to pin her down on the couch and choke her out, she was quite interested in what kind of training regime would turn a kid into a battle hardened veteran.

Though they talked less during the entire journey she had a soft corner to the kid while also felt that this nightmare may be due to the intense stress the boy was subjected to during this journey and felt she should compensate him a lot when they reach their destination.

The awkward silence continued as the two gobbled up their food and made their way to the camp to resume their duties.

Meanwhile in a carriage, inside the barrel Emily was resting with her eyes closed waiting to drift into sleep. Ever since she changed the carriage the journey has been silent with constant galloping noise from the horse. The speed seemed constant as she felt herself being dragged by the carriage.

Just as the neverending silent journey seemed to continue forever, she started hearing voices of people and sounds like they were passing a party. From the noise made the people seemed to be enjoying their time. The carriage's speed slowed down and waited as if it was waiting for someone to give them way.

"Who are you?" a man's voice was heard by Emily from within the barrel. However there was no follow up voice from the carriage owner.

"Ok, you can go in" said the same man's voice and the carriage once again started to move on a constant slow speed.

'May be they are dropping off some barrels for this party".

Once again there was a shake in the carriage and once again her own barrel seemed to be lifted. Emily was confused and began to have doubts but still stayed inside the barrel not wanting to break the rules while coming up with deductions as to why she was being transported.

'Maybe they have a carriage hidden inside this party'.

Meanwhile within the room where Lux was resting while watching the screen each showing different videos of different perversions. Yes, he was watching live feed the activities he had prepared for each room and was currently admiring his masterpiece. Room 1 seemed to be a neverending orgy. Women and Men, Men and Men, Women and Women fornicated crazily and after finishing with their partner would either take rest or go find a different partner. Here husbands shared their wives and wives shared their husbands. An one off event of degeneration was to get the nobles to went their stress.

Room 2 had men and women who were masochistic tied up and the dominant men and women alike were given free reign to have their way with them. Room 3, 4 , 5 each had different plays, including rape of captured women and men of fallen noble families and some pedophilic nobles were into playing with kids.

Watching this brought a sense of satisfaction to the perverted prince and just as he was about to change the video Faceless came inside the room and whispered into the ear of prince.

Listening to the info Lux grinned and announced "The climax of our party has finally arrived. Let's go and welcome her. Also bring our close associates as they deserve this show as a gift from me. After all they had done all the hard work over the years and had never stopped supporting me. I must share my happiness with them".

With that the prince made his way to a separate dark hall where before him stood a barrel within which Emily Walker was present.

Slowly from outside men and women each who had worked as an ally to the prince came in on the instructions of faceless and looked at the prince standing before a barrel.

They were already privy to the information regarding what was about to happen. They were all previously engaged in different perversions and were cursing the prince silently for disturbing their joy and hoped that what they had come for as a spectator was worth it.

Within the group there was also the brown haired girl and the prince signalled her to come forwards.

Within the barrel Emily was confused. She had been motionless for more than a few minutes. She heard many voices but all were muffled due to the distance between them. The place she had been stuffed seemed to also be dark as she couldn't make out where she was due to absolute darkness.

Just as What felt like forever there was a bright light followed by someone opening the lid to her barrel and shouts of cheers. Not knowing what had happened Emily squinted her eyes due to sudden brightness and when she came to she heard a loud voice announcing

"Welcome to Paradise!! Emily Walker".

Turning to the right I saw the man who seemed to be the nightmare for many nobles who previously supported the ex-crown prince Voight and a bane to many women and to the left the person who had opened the lid to her barrel and announce of her arrival to the bunch of lose robed half naked men and women was someone she knew.

Emily's eyes opened to the fullest extent and her eyeball felt like it would fall out of her socket as she saw her best friend and her roommate in a similar scantily dressed fashion announcing to a bunch of perverts as if she was a toy for them to play.

At this moment she knew she was betrayed and screamed

"Mikki Daruga!!" the name of the betrayer in rage and fear.
