"Burn the Saintess!"
"Burn that wicked woman, how dare she sell herself to the demon lord," a person yelled.
"She deserves to die!!!"
The crowd of people yelled at the girl who was tied up unto a huge log, where a fire was being lit underneath her feet.
"Father pls help me," the Saintess pleaded once more for the King to help her, but he just glared at her.
The Saintess' face became dark as she realized how foolish she was to risk her life for these people who wanted to kill her in her most vulnerable state. As the Demon Lord was gone she was a threat to their kingdom and they didn't even spare time to think about this, and announced that the Saintess must be killed.
Different lies surrounded her, to put her in this position, now she regrets her choices.
"I never did anything wrong, how could you all do this to me after everything I've done for you," she cried with a sorrowful look, and tears streaming down her face.
"Your just a slut who seduced the Prince and the Hero." "Yeahhhhhhh!!!"
"You disgusting man stealer!!!!"
Those were some of the words the crowd accused her of. The saintess's mood changed, as if a switch had flipped in her brain. The sorrowful look she once had slowly turned into a grin of pure madness, giving her a mad look."I swear, I will never let anyone of you rest in peace." She shouted at the top of her lungs, laughing madly in the fire with eyes full of rage.
༻————— ˗ˋˊ˗ —————༺
The human kingdom of sandeph was a beautiful and peaceful place, where you could often see people going on with their day, children playing happily in the meadows and soldiers dancing with the common people.
The kingdom had a beautiful princess who they all cherished, her name was Aurianna and she was the third child of the King. The oldest brother was named Husae, and the second brother was named Ralph.
Aurianna was a lovely young girl adorned with two long blue twintails, crystal blue eyes and a smile so angelic it could make even the most hardened veteran soldier melt. She had a very slender figure and fair skin, that was all the more highlighted by the pink gown she often wore.
She was a cheerful princess who had everything a princess could want and wish for, and she would even get the world if it made her happy.
The kingdom didn't mind that, because there was a prophecy which declared that the first princess born would become the revered Saintess—A person who was born to lead humanity in a crusade against the demons and end the threat once and for all. So on Aurianna's tenth birthday the prophecy came to be, as she would awaken her Saintess powers. The whole kingdom was in ecstasy and joy over the news, as it would mean that the kingdom finally had a way to fight the demons.
"My daughter has been chosen as the saintess by our Goddess Paige! Praise upon the Goddess almighty and Goddess bless Sandeph!"
Aurianna knelt down before her father; the King. "Raise your head," the King commanded, and Aurianna did as she was told. "I shall not disappoint you father," she pledged with fierce determination in her heart.
The church heard of princess Aurianna being chosen as a Saintess, so they went to confirm. When they went to meet the princess their suspicions of a fake Saintess were cleared when they saw her healing an injured maid, however, they realized she couldn't utilize her full power.
The Head Priest entered the palace during the day the kingdom was celebrating the new Saintess.
"Welcome Head Priest Deille." A handsome, middle-aged man greeted the head priest. His hair was graying but still had faint black shades that flown to his shoulders. He had a stocky and musculare build despite his age, and an angular chiseled chin. His eyes were green, almost like emeralds. The clothes he wore gave him a royal and elegant look, wearing a stylish vest adorned with silver buttons. He sat on a throne befitting of a king, because he was the King of Sandeph, ruler of Girsal.
The Head Priest paid no attention to the King and walked straight to Aurianna who was surrounded by people. Once everyone saw the Head Priest they all made way for him to go see Aurianna.
Aurianna looked up towards the tall priest, he wore a white cloak that had red markings from the shoulder down to the waist. His face wasn't visible since it was covered by a hood.
"I would give you this opportunity child," his voice boomed as he seemed to be looking at her.
"Come with me if you want to be a true Saintess, staying here would only hinder your progress." The priest's voice boomed as he spoke.
Once the priest was about to make an offer the King became furious. He wasn't going to let the church take the Saintess away from him.
The Priest stretched out his hand for her to agree. Aurianna looked at him hesitantly and looked at her father who was boiling with rage, which made her body tremble.
The priest wanted the princess to decide if she either wanted to be raised by her family or the church to be the Saintess. The church was actually the best option since the church can help her grow better. However, Aurianna was warned by her father that the church was bad people so she shouldn't choose them.
"I'm sorry Head Priest, I love my family and I prefer to stay with them," she answered with a sweet smile.
The King grinned and the priest sighed. "I hope you don't regret your decision," he sighed.
As he was leaving everyone was silent as they could hear his footsteps echoing through the hall.
Once he left everyone went to Aurianna to praise and flatter her for being such a wise and beautiful child. However, Aurianna felt a sharp pain in her chest like it was warning her that she had made a mistake.
At a very young age of fourteen, Aurianna began her training. She led her kingdom to war against the demons and used her power as a Saintess to heal those who were hurt. She received many accomplishments and was liked by her father since she always listened to him.
However, when she was eighteen, things took a turn. Aurianna was sleeping peacefully in her chamber after a tiring day of healing the people who fought against the demons.
As she was about to sleep on a big comfy bed she heard someone enter her room, and saw that it was her second brother. The second Prince Ralph had soft ocean blue hair, with a pair of beautiful green eyes like his brother. He's quite tall and extremely handsome.
She thought that he was coming to wish her good night like he always did, but this time he acted differently, he walked drunkenly to Aurianna.
"Oh brother Ralph what brings you here?" she asked with a sweet and innocent smile.
Aurianna got up from her bed to help her brother, but he quickly rushed to her and pushed her on the bed, as he began to strip her off her clothes.
"Oh Aurianna you're always as sweet as always," Ralph complimented as he kissed her neck.
"Brother- please… ..s-stop..," Aurianna pleaded as tears ran down her face.
Ralph looked at her with a blushing face, "Even when you cry you're so cute," he said with a sadistic smile plastered on his face.
Aurianna then shivered and became scared. She screamed for help from the guards in front of her room, but they turned around pretending not to know anything and closed the door. Aurianna face was in despair as she realized her situation.
As a Saintess she only learned healing spells and didn't really focus much on her physical strength. She struggled as her brother removed her clothes, but it was in vain he was too strong. Her brother too began to strip as he used his clothes to tie Aurianna's hands to the bed.
In front of him was his sister who was naked, her whole body was exposed to him. He looked at her with lustful eyes as she groped her medium but perfect white soft boobs, as he began to lick them. Aurianna tried to struggling to run away, but she couldn't.
Ralph then lick her body as he moved further and further down. Aurianna was frightened by this and let out a loud scream, "Brother please stop!!!!" she cried as she hoped that he would stop, but it didn't end there.
However he didn't listen and just forced himself on her.
"Just calm down and it would be all over.." he muttered in her ear.
That night you could only hear the screams of the poor princess who got sexually assaulted by her brother.
When Aurianna was freed from the terrible night she immediately went to the King to report what her brother had done, but he didn't expect his reaction.
"Oh this stupid boy, I didn't think he would actually do this to you, but I'm not shocked."
Aurianna just stood there dumbfounded as she heard him. He knew something like this could happen so why didn't he protect her?
"Father, I cannot accept how Ralph raped me"
The king glared at Aurianna, screaming furiously. "Don't you know how much shame it would bring to the imperial family if I were to banish the second prince!?"
"Just keep your mouth shut and I don't want to hear this getting out, you understand?," he asked looking at Aurianna expecting an answer.
"Yes Father."
Aurianna was dumbfounded by the King's words. Her virginity was forcefully stolen and no one cared for her. Has she mistaken their love for her all this time?
Since the King warned Aurianna not to tell anyone and she had to listen, so the word never got out that the prince raped the Saintess.
During Aurianna's next expedition to defeat the demon lord, she got ready with the Hero and his crew they summoned from another world.
The Hero had short orange hair, with a pair of ambitious orange eyes. He was quite tall and around age 17, and his name was Kent. He had a bright white sword that glowed when he touched it showing that he was the Hero.
He was accompanied by a big man with a scar on his face. The man had short yellow hair with dark brown eyes and brown skin. He was a very muscular person who held a huge shield, whose name was Derek.
Besides him was a women with dark brown hair and black eyes, her name was Cindy. She had a very bountiful figure, almost like an alluring beauty. She carried with her a wooden staff with a big gemstone carved at the top, showing that she was a mage.
They all got ready for their expedition as they defeated every obstacle that and between them.
The Hero tried to flirt with Aurianna during their expedition, telling her how beautiful she is and how a kind person she was. Aurianna took that as a compliment since she always heard that. But one time he went too far and tried to kiss her, but she wasn't tempted nor interested since she finally revealed to him that she had a fiance who was the Grand Duke's son and she was fond of him. Her statement angered the Hero and he stopped pursuing her.
It had been two months since their expedition and they have been defeating monster after monster as Aurianna healed people who survived the attacks from the demons. Whenever Hero and his crew would get hurt or would be half dead Aurianna would use her healing magic to heal them, to defeat the monsters around. This helped the entire team to get stronger.
After persevering through the many battles, they finally overcomes them all and reached the Demon King's Castle.
As they were about to attack the demon's castle a huge dragon appeared from the ground. The creature had sharp eyes deep within the creatures long and narrow skull, giving it a fierce look. Several enormous horns sat atop its head, just above a pair of long cured ears. A row of small tendrils ran along the sides of its jawline. Its nose was small and had two thin, curved nostrils and there were even more tendrils on its chin. A few razor-sharp teeth poked out from the side of its mouth and gave a preview of the horror hiding inside.
A huge neck ran down from its head into a big majestic body, that was covered in warped blue satin scales. Dozens of small crystal growths ran along the spine of the dragon.
Two bulky limbs carried its body and allow the creature to stand noble and dignified, with claws that seemed to be made of obsidian.
Magnificent wings grew to start from just above its shoulders and end at the lower end of its back. The wings are rounded, the insides of the wing seem to be made of thin crystals and armor-like scales.
Its elegant tail ended in a curved talon and was covered in the same warped scales as its body.
The four of them prepared themselves for the gruesome battle ahead of them.
Aurianna used one of her most powerful spells called "Rorias", she yelled out and the entire area was covered in holy light as it showed down the Dragon as it burned its skin and gave an area buff to the Hero and his crew.
They all charged straight towards the dragon while casting their best spells, greatly injuring it and allowing the Hero to use his Holy sword to slice the dragon's head.
As they passed by the dragon Aurianna stopped for a minute to look at the dragon, which had a sad face as its head laid there.
Guilt ran down her heart, but she always heard that all demons were bad and deserve to be killed.
The four of them entered the demon Lord's castle with great enthusiasm and pride as they walked into the Demon Lord's chamber.
In front of them was a dark and wide hall with a giant silver throne, decorated with the bones of a long-slain dragon. And on there sat a handsome dark-skinned man who had long dark green hair. His golden eyes were dull and emotionless. Two horns grew from his head, that were well-fitting with his well-built figure. He was cladd from neck to toe with black armor not unfitting for a Demon Lord, for he was the Demon Lord Vatium.
Aurianna looked at the most handsome man she had ever seen, he looked quite familiar. She continued to look at him as the Demon Lord exchanged a glance at her. Aurianna flinched as she thought he was about to attack.
The Demon Lord then looked at the Hero with the stupid expression on his face with confidence.
Shamelessly the Hero used his most powerful sword spell, "Heavenly Light" which was expected to kill the Demon Lord, but to their horror, it didn't.
They merely laid a scratch on him and that's when Kent, Derek, and Cindy became alerted.
They quickly rushed to attack him. Cindy quickly used a binding spell to restrict his movements and magic as Kent charged in with Derek to attack him. Kent drew his sword and launched multiple slashes at Vatium, but barely did any damage to him. Derrick then used his shield to create a multiple stone spike that stabbed Vatium, however, Vatium's body became transparent which allowed him to easily dodge them.
