Chapter 405 405 The Bond
Yet, intertwined with this joy was a poignant sadness, a soul-piercing ache that seemed to echo through the chambers of her being.
The dichotomy of emotions overwhelmed Brittany, for the realization that the princess was willing to go to such lengths for her brought both elation and sorrow.
She was happy because all the years she had sacrificed herself to protect her princess weren't wasted as the princess too thought of her in a similar manner.
Just as Birttany was about to burst into a scream of despair at having to witness the princess' mouth being defiled, Zach brought his hand on top of Carol's mouth and pushed her back slightly to stop her from coming into contact with his raging cock.
"You can stop now, Princess."
Carol jerked her head up in astonishment at the sudden change in the tone of Zach's voice. It had grown soft and somewhat grounded that gave it the impression of stability and poise.
Moreover, she was shocked to see that Zach wasn't looking at Brittany at all whiles addressing her as princess. n//o/-V.)e./L-/b--I/.n
Instead, he was staring at Carol herself.
It was then that she knew that Zach probably knew about it all along. But she couldn't understand it.
Why the pretense?
If he wanted to fuck the princess, he could just have asked for her instead of saying all those things to her. He could have easily cast Brittany aside and forced himself upon her.
Instead of doing that, he had awakened her dead soul through his words.
Carol, therefore believed that Zach was different from the men she had encountered so far. He was either an even bigger freak who had a fetish for a bag of bones like herself OR, he had a different purpose for orchestrating this all.
Carol's instincts told her that all of this had been some kind of test. Otherwise, Zach's devilish demeanor would not have changed into his graceful and stable current self so abruptly.
Thinking back, it was the moment she decided to give him a blowjob that he suddenly changed his attitude towards her and pushed her back even though it was him who had previously been intent on having her suck his dick despite having an eager Brittany who had been offering herself to do it voluntarily.
Even Brittany was in shock. The man she considered to be a thoughtless lecher in her mind turned out to be in the know about their true identities already.
No wonder he kept asking the princess to give him a blowjob instead of her.
He had been playing with them both all this time.
Brittany gnashed her teeth at the thought.
It was hard coming to terms with what Zach had said.
She wondered if she was dreaming but it didn't seem right. Zach looked too real for that and the experience she had just earned today was enough to change her outlook on the whole world.
She might never be able to trust anyone again until she was fully confident about successfully concealing her identity from them.
"Just like you two, I have had my share of tough times. Although I didn't want to do this to you, it was necessary to ensure the safety of my people. Therefore, I had to orchestrate this game in order to ascertain your true selves before deciding on what to do with you."
Zach knew that the two women probably hated him to the core, but he didn't want to hide anything from them as they had passed his test and had proved their character to him.
"So, what did you decide?" asked Carol with a frown hovering above her eyes.
"Since I have already established the kind of people you two are, I won't stop you from leaving. You can request as much help as I can afford to offer you before leaving for a free life. No one will be able stop you."
Zach answered in a matter-of-fact voice as if the answer was quite obvious. He released the invisible restraints that had been keeping Brittany from moving about too much.
"The bond between the two of you has moved me. Such selflessness is hard to come by in this world. You should cherish your maid more. She has been tortured and threatened at every turn and yet she has managed to keep you safe from all dangers throughout her duty."
After addressing Carol, Zach couldn't help but praise the bony princess as well. She had not only managed to pass the test that Zach had prepared but had also succeeded with flying colors.
Therefore, Zach felt that the two deserved to live a better life than what they had been living for the past few years that they had spent in captivity.
Carol was now sure that Zach meant what he said. He was truly giving them an option to leave and live freely by themselves. She could see it in his eyes. His sincerity was evident.
Unlike the beasts in human skin that she was familiar with, Zach appeared to be the only true human she had come across in a long time.
At the same time, she was somewhat curious.
She was wondering what the result would have been if they hadn't passed Zach's test for them. What if she had opted to throw Brittany under the bus to save herself. Any princess in her place would have done it easily.
After all, a princess' life was considered to be far more precious than the life of any other commoner.
Instead of keeping this question to herself and leaving right there and then, she stayed back to talk to Zach a bit more on the subject.
It was as if she was being drawn towards him unintentionally.
Lost in her thoughts, her steady but low voice caught him unawares.
"What if I hadn't agreed to come forward just now to offer myself to you?"
