The Naed Countess

Chapter 10: Half-naked truth

Arnold flinched as the gunshot pierced his ears, nearly dropping his gun. A beautiful woman with dark, wavy hair stood in the doorway, her face hidden behind the mask. It wasn't the kind of mask the clerk would expect, though, and her outfit overall didn't fit a kidnaper at all. Audrey Mcwindsor was wearing a black leather costume consisting of an immodest top and panties, complemented by a pair of fishnet stockings and garters holding them in place. In one hand, she was holding a long, scary-looking whip, and a gun pointed upwards in the other.

The clerk and the naked captain looked at Audrey in confusion, thinking that they must've misunderstood what was happening here. However, it was too late to draw conclusions, as Leo already went on the attack. Only a gasp escaped Audrey's mouth when the countess tackled her and pushed her to the ground, brutally bending her arm behind her back and letting the pistol fall on the floor.

Before Mrs. Mcwindsor could protest, Leo began tearing off the dominatrix costume off her body and stripped her naked in a matter of seconds. Audrey's top turned into a rope with which the blonde tied her hands behind her back, while her panties with a destroyed waistband (which caused the owner plenty of pain) got shoved in her mouth like a gag, making her twitch in disgust.

"You thought you could torture my dear cousin with no punishment, wench? Let's see how you like the taste of your own medicine!" Leo shouted, grabbing the whip and focusing her gaze on Audrey's firm butt.

Mrs. Mcwindsor realized what was happening and began shaking her head, but Leo's revenge has already begun: the strong hand dropped the whip on the poor lady's ass over and over again, leaving red marks on her pale, tender skin as it showered her with strikes. Captain Davis ran up to the two to break them up, her boobs comically jiggling with each step and causing Audrey even more confusion. Arnold decided to ungag Milran, hoping that at least he could shed some light on this chaos.

"S-stop, please, my blood, don't do it. She is innocent!" the blonde man cried out.

Leo turned around and froze, not believing what she was hearing.

"What? Why? I'm simply avenging you for all the suffering you've endured. Your bruises..."

"Yes, I have endured plenty of suffering," Milran said with an awkward pause, "but, well, you see, they were inflicted voluntarily."

"What?!" The blonde approached the bed, looking like she was ready to beat her cousin up herself.

"Let me explain..." he said with pleading eyes as Arnold was untying him.

"You better do so, and quick!"

Milran let out a sigh, looking over the trio with a hint of shame. Davis felt an odd feeling of relief for a second, at least this man didn't ogle her naked form. Meanwhile, Leo kept staring her cousin down, waiting for an explanation.

"You see, I met this charming woman on the first day of my stay at this hotel," he pointed at naked Audrey, who was still moaning and struggling in her bondage, "it was friendly at first, but then we drank a bit too much wine and... Well, our relationship quickly progressed. She didn't want us to be seen together, however, as it could've been a scandal for both our houses. So we came up with those wigs and different names that would make us disappear from the public eye for at least a couple nights."

"Fake names? Like Nilmar?" Arnold couldn't contain his skepticism.

"Yes, now that I think about it, that name probably wasn't the best choice, but nevertheless, it worked. We managed to have our time together without anyone from the outside world bothering us. Um, up until I gambled all my money away in that casino and had to take her money to pay for our supper, which she wasn't fond of at all."

The trio looked back at Audrey and let out a grunt, which would surely be something more if not for the panties in her mouth.

"Are you serious?!" Leo folded her arms and bend over Milran, making her enticing boobs look almost intimidating, "I came all this way, fighting off criminals, interrogating with ICA, and shaking my curves for Earthian perverts, and all this time your only problems were from your own stupidity?"

"Leo, my blood, please, understand. Their machines are all so shiny, and the slots make such a satisfying click when they spin! I did not expect this, and when I understood what was happening, it was too late. We don't have anything like that on Sanflaria. Don't misunderstand, I love hunting and lightshows, but this kind of thrill is something out of our world... Literally, I suppose."

"But how about the message you sent me? About being held in a palace, a place with no exists?"

"I'm very sorry, but you must've misheard. For you Earthians, I'll clarify that I said a phrasal verb that meant I couldn't make myself leave this place, which sounds awfully familiar to it not having an exit in Sanflarian. The money I asked was to pay back Audrey. I'm a gentleman, after all, so I asked you to bring a sum from my savings to cover our expenses after I realized I was way over budget."

Arnold looked at Leo and instantly took a step back, seeing how her eye began to twitch and her face was slowly becoming red from anger.

"I didn't want to inconvenience you, but you're the only one I could tell. Neither my not your parents would understand. Besides, Audrey didn't wanna anyone to know about our little relationship, so she suggested we wait here and keep playing until you send me the money. Uh, you did bring the money, didn't you? I'd like to deal with this before my meeting, so everything could proceed as normal. Leo, why are you silent? Leo?"

Captain Davis grabbed the hot-headed blonde by the shoulders, ensuring she won't charge at Milran and do all the unthinkable horrors she was afraid his kidnappers were doing.

"So, you're telling me you came here without even knowing what you're getting into, completely misread what this place was and got yourself into trouble without anyone else to blame?!"

Suddenly, the blonde stopped and took a step back, her eyes widening from realization. She clearly saw the similarity between this and her rescue mission, started only due to her prejudice toward Earthians, a feeling that was both harmful and unfounded all along.

"I've got no words. And no, I didn't bring your money, you dimwit, that'll teach you to be more clear next time," Leo said, her hands on her shapely hips.

Davis took this moment to ungag and untie Mrs. Mcwindsor, who began spitting and cursing like she was daughter of a sailor.

"How dare you? Who do you think you are, dumb whores?! Nobody treats Audrey Mcwindsor like... A-a-a, my ass!" She screamed as Captain Davis lightly slapped her behind.

"Apologies, Mrs. Mcwindsor, but we believe this all to be a misunderstanding, which is better to be forgotten. For both parties' sake."

The captain gave Audrey a deceptively kind smile, which she met with a grunt, then covered her sim figure and ran back to the wardrobe room. She was angry now, but her threats were completely baseless. After all, to do something she'd need to tell her family, which was not happening.

"Thanks," Milran said to Arnold as the clerk untied him and handed him his clothes.

"Now let's get you outta here and finally go home!" Leo exclaimed in anticipation.

Arnold barely concealed his sadness. While a part of him was glad he'd be returning to the safe life of office plankton, he only now realized how much he'd miss Eleonora. Suddenly, his train of thought was cut short by the static sound from Davis' walkie-talkie.

"C-captain," someone yelled in agitation, "there are strange people gathering around the villa. They're armed. I think we're... We're getting attacked!"

The sounds of gunshots echoed throughout the room, loud and plentiful. There was a shooting happening outside, and it seemed like this time there were far more attackers than before.

"Oh right, I nearly forgot about that scum!" Leo replied, "indeed, Milran, your story does not explain why somebody has been trying to kill me for the entire day!"

The nobleman shook his head, completely confused by what was happening. At least this part wasn't his fault. The group turned toward the door, hearing footsteps and an odd click followed by complete silence.

"Get down, everyone!" Davis commanded as she jumped on Arnold, landing on the bed with him.

The clerk felt hormones surge as his face got buried into the captain's round, alluring breasts. Davis made sure to focus on the danger, but it was clear she was still embarrassed. A second later, they had another thing to worry about: a deafening shotgun blast went through the room, smashing the window to pieces and destroying a potted plant nearby.

Davis got up and fired back, forcing the assailant to step back. Her skin got covered with goosebumps when she understood the danger she was in, entering that gunfight completely naked. Still, it was her job, so she valiantly kept holding the shooter back despite her fear and shame.

"Oh my God, oh my God," Arnold kept yelling, having lost his gun and now trying to find it under the king-sized bed.

"A man is down!" Voices in the walkie-talkie mixed with shouts and gunfight.

"You need to get out of here!" The captain said to the Sanflarians with fear in her eyes, "this is getting out of control."

"Alright, Milran. Let's move out," Leo said, agreeing that her main task was protecting her younger cousin.

Milran, now dressed in a contrasting outfit of black pants and a shiny, bronze-coloured coat, gave Eleonora a quick nod and began crouching toward the exit.

"He's reloading!" Davis shouted, hearing new clicks outside the door, "it's out chance!"

The captain moved swift as a lightning, running into the hall with her bare feet nearly tripping on the carpet, and firing several rounds right into the criminal. It looked like he nearly managed to fire back, but got so surprised upon seeing the naked officer that he froze in place, dropping his guard.

"Look, I told you that nudity is the way to go for us women," Leo chuckled, leading Milran into the neighboring room, to which Davis simply rolled her eyes.

Sanflarians ran to the spacious area consisting of a living room with a semi-attacked hallway, only separated by a half-wall divider. Unfortunately, they didn't notice another criminal in dark clothing, who held a submachine in his hand. Leo managed to tell Milran to duck at the last second, before the rain of bullets piercing the wall and shelves behind them, destroying everything in its path. Leo moved forward with an athletic sommersault while Milran jumped back, owing to his careful nature.

"Come here, what are you doing? I have to protect you!" the countess shouted, her voice barely distinguisable due to the gunshots.

"Don't worry about me, my blood. Save yourself, I'll find my own way out of this trap!"

"You sure?"

"I've spent enough time in this villa to know its ins and outs. Even though most of the time I walked on all fours and blindfolded, I..."

"Alright-alright, too much information," Leo shouted back, "just do your thing, I'll be fine."

Milran did a gesture meaning "good luck" in ancient Sanflarian and crawled out of the room, while Leo set her sights on that pesky shooter.

Sanflarians didn't use bullets, instead fighting with energy weapons fueled by the solar energy itself. A warrior from Leo's homeland would shoot once, then wait for the weapon to rechange, and repeat. Knowing when the break would come and using it to your advantage was crucial when fighting against firearms with your bare hands, especially when everything else was bare as well. Earthians' weapons were different, but while they could shoot for longer, it seemed like the "reloading" process was longer as well.

"Come out, come out, little slut," the old man spoke in a raspy voice, "I'll make it quick."

"Oh, you surely will!"

Leo knew the only way to make him waste bullets was to provoke him, so she took this dangerous option with a fearless grin. Instead of hiding, the blonde jumped up and began shaking her tits like she was at a party, making sure the old-timer took the bait. Another flurry of bullets flew right at her, and she managed to jump away right in time. Adrenaline surge made Leo move even faster, her limbs trembling from the pressure. It was dangerous, deadly, and completely awesome; the fearless countess was in her element here.

Another jump, another spray of bullets covering nearby chairs and shelves, breaking glass and shattering wood. It was followed by familiar clicks, letting Leo know that it was time to strike. She got on the chair with one swift move, and before the man could react, she charged at him at all her speed. He attempted to flee, but Leo's leg connected with his ribs with a crack, then her knee broke his nose and made him lose the teeth he still had.

One was down, but there were surely more to go. Leo looked at the submachine gun and grabbed it with curiosity, only to throw it away like useless garbage a second later. She didn't need anything but her body, and these criminals will soon learn that as well.

"I think the bitch went that way!" She heard someone say as she ran into another room.

It was a spacious relaxation area with a giant fishtank and a self-playing piano in the corner. This sight could've been pleasant under different circumstances, but now it was simply distracting. Thankfully, the next bandit was dumb enough to announce his present with a swear as he entered the room, allowing the blonde time to hide before he opened fire. Each shot pierced Leo's ears like spears but the breaks were longer as well.

The naked blonde glanced from behind a bookshelf and realized this man was holding a heavy pistol of some sort, easier to dodge but not allowing any mistakes. He was also far more careful, not wasting his bullets and looking to make every shot count. Leo still managed to make him slip by running throughout the room, her voluptuous curves bouncing along and serving as a distraction. The man shot twice, but missed, hitting the giant fishtank and the piano.

"You cretin!" Leo said, seeing that the water began pouring out of the tank onto the floor, fishes flopping and thrashing around as they desperately looked for oxygen.

"How about I show you how it feels, huh?" With these words, Leo grabbed a nearby vase and threw it right at the man's head.

Charging at him would've been too dangerous, since she didn't know how many bullets did his gun hold. However, as the bandit got momentarality stunned by the vase, she managed to attack from behind and hit him in the groin at full force, kicking the gun out of his hands. This criminal was bulky and muscular, so he managed to fight back, landing a blow into Leo's stomach. Then he grabbed Leo's mane and managed to hit her head against the table so hard it nearly broke. He aimed to repeat it, but the girl noticed a pen lying in the corner and grabbed it while struggling against his grip.

"Your oppressive rule is no more, Eleonora!" the bandit laughted and began shocking the blonde with his free hand.

In a fit of adrenaline, Leo managed to free her neck for a mere second, but it was enough for her to bite the man's hand and make him scream in pain. As he was distracted, Leo's athletic leg tripped him up, resulting in him falling onto the table and shattering it with his bulky form. Before the criminal could get up, the blonde lunged at him and landed her majestic ass right on his bearded face, making him twitch from the impact. With her hands holding his and her backside making it hard for him to breathe, Leo playfully wriggled atop the criminal as he struggled and tried to free himself from this dangerous yet sexy hold.

"Oh yeah, faster, faster!" She mocked his attempts, moaning as if they were making love while the man was passing out from the lack of air.

Finally, the struggling stopped, the man finally losing his consciousness, nearly suffocated by Leo's alluring butt.

"Oppressive rule? What?" Leo blinked in confusion as she got up, still coughing from that scum's grip.

Then, the sound of leaking water attracted her attention. She forgot about the tank! Forgetting about the main, Leo grabbed another vase and made the water flow right into it. Her next step was caringly picking up all the fish from the floor, letting them survive in this improvised tank.

"Just wait here, little ones. Your home will be as good as new once we finish with this," Leo said and ran to the elevator while gunshots rang out all around the house.

The next room was a corridor akin to a small labyrinth with Greek imagery covering its marble walls. The countess stopped, listening for footsteps while making sure not to slip on this smooth floor. Somebody was coming, so Leo squatted near a nearby doorway and made sure to prepare. Then, the footsteps' direction suddenly changed, and she turned around to face the enemy. But the enemy was quicker. Before the countess could approach the entrance, a man in his twenties, with dark clothing and a pistol in his hand, emerged from behind the corner and pointed his gun right at her.

Thoughts raced through her head as she tried to find a place to hide or something to attack with, but there was nothing. She truly caught herself in an unwinnable position. However, this guy seemed far less aggressive than the other two, even smiling at his lucky catch. She could tell he was full of himself, judging by that smug look on his face. Judging by how certain men viewed women in this world, Leo certainly could exploit that.

"Oh the Many-eyed, help me!" she said while raising her hands up and dropping on her knees like a submissive during roleplay.

The criminal whistled and took a step closer.

"Wow. They said you were a knockout, but this was an understatement!"

"T-thanks for your kindness," Leo dropped even lower, bowing before the man, "please, spare my life! I'm a noblewoman who has never been in any sort of danger, and I cannot do soldiers' work!"

"Yeah, that'd be a shame to kill such a hottie. Our employer didn't pay us that well anyway. How about I let you go, if you let me get to know you a little closer?"

A barely hidden grin flashed across Leo's face, but she lowered her head and kept pleading, not giving away her plan.

"S-sure, I'll do everything you want, master!"

The man was taken aback by the last word, and his breathing became hectic for a second. He approached Leo with a smirk and made her turn around, then began shamelessly groping her beautiful, naked body. The blonde moaned a little as the criminal's hands landed on her boobs and began rubbing her nipples.

She knew that this was all a trick, but her body surely didn't care. When they started to become hard, the criminal removed his hands and let his fingers travel across her belly, athletic limbs, and even sent them down to her pussy. Leo didn't protest. On the contrary, she even spread her legs a little to make the process easier, selling the lie.

"Master, c-can I t-touch you too?" she imitated Arnold's stutter for a bigger effect, making the criminal's cheeks rosy.

"Sure," he kissed her neck with a grin and slowly watched her crawl around on all fours in front of him, like a obedient doggy waiting for her command.

What he didn't know is that this dog could bite. Right when Leo faced the man and realized they were close, she instantly lunged at him and made him drop his gun by painfully bending his arm backward.

"What the fuck?! Hey! Stop, no!" he yelled, trying to free himself.

"You've got nice, soft hands," Leo said after giving him an elbow that made his vision go blurry, "too bad you used them to point guns at innocent people!"

With these words, she made the criminal get up and drove his head right into the corridor's corner. Blood gushed out of the man's face, leaving a red stain on the marble. He let out a weak cry for help and fell down, twitching in convulsions. Leo dusted off her hands and turned toward the end of the corridor, where she saw an elevator shaft. She was about to press the button, but noticed the cabin was already in use, lowering to this floor.
