Release That Succubus-Chapter 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.

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.

The cruel game he had orchestrated was probably meant for them to reveal their true identities themselves.

Zach noticed the heavy aura of animosity rising from his side where Brittany was still pinned to the wall. The force keeping her in check had remained constant so far and he was sure that it wouldn't have caused her any substantial harm, not any more than she could handle at the very least.

Therefore, he decided to clear away the negative air between them before releasing her. Otherwise, he was afraid she would launch herself straight at him once released, in order to take him down in the bloodiest manner possible.

Zach adopted a grave look on his visage before coming out with the truth.

"To tell you two the truth, I knew about your true identities from before you were even brought to me. I heard about your story and couldn't help but find it a bit hypocritical."

Zach paused a bit at this point as if anticipating brutal and murderous looks in the eyes of the two women, however the two seemed to be dealing with the fact that he knew their secret. From the looks of it, it would be some time before the two would be able to get over it.

"How?"

A mosquito-like voice finally escaped Carol's lips and reached his ears as it was barely audible enough to convey its meaning to him.

Zach didn't hide it from her since she had already passed his test and was privy to knowing how their secret had been revealed. Otherwise, the two might not be able to trust another human being in the future for fear of their secret leaking out to them due to carelessness.

"It wasn't me. It was the man who brought you here. He had already deduced your true identities during the time he was interrogating you."

Brittany was also listening intently in order to ascertain if there was any truth to Zach's words. More than anything, she wanted to know if she had fucked up somehow and had given out some kind of clue that allowed Bruce to figure out their lies from the truth.

"We didn't say anything to that effect. I am positive that both of us were tight-lipped. There is no way you could have found out about it from us."

Brittany couldn't hold out for very long before she barged into the conversation despite not being able to move from her position.

Carol also nodded to reaffirm Brittany's words.

"I know that the two of you were extremely cautious. But try to remember carefully, did the man ask you any questions about yourselves or each other?"

Zach already knew the process after receiving the briefing from Bruce. Therefore, he knew how to handle disclosing the truth to the two women.

Carol, who had been dazed until that moment, finally gathered her wits about her and stood back up on her feet. Her knees were hurting slightly but it was still bearable.

She didn't make a sound as she rubbed the painful parts before once before standing straight.

"Although you were careful enough to hide all the information you thought was crucial, you didn't take into account that we could detect your lies. So, you never had a chance. Every lie you told, gave him the information he wanted to ask the two of you. The more you denied or accepted something, the more information he got out of the two of you."

"So, we have been playing in the palm of your hands since the beginning..." thought Carol out loud while she tried to make sense of the words she had just heard.

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." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝑜𝓂

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?"
