Lady Victoria

"Lady Victoria's fate has been decided" Akina declares "guilty of treason against the crown, she shall face immediate execution"

The courtroom falls silent as Count Erwyn steps forward, his eyes filled with tears and his head bowed low.

"I... I did it, my lady. I am the one who plotted against your husband. Please, spare my daughter" He pleads, his voice barely a whisper.

He is sentenced to **** but Akina chooses to still punish Lady Victoria as well as her older sister, Lady Elaine, another way.

"Your families name is tarnished, your titles will be stripped, and your bodies bared as a sign of your shame"

Lady Victoria and Elaine hesitate for a moment, glancing nervously at each other before beginning to unlace their corsets and remove their dresses. Their soft curves are bared to the world, goosebumps rising on their skin from fear and embarrassment.

Akina's eyes harden as she watches them undress under the watchful eyes of the guards, their naked trembling with fear and humiliation. She orders for Lady Victoria and Elaine to be marched naked though the streets while their father is prepared for his execution. The guards lead Lady Victoria and Elaine outside, their naked bodies on full display. A crowd of people gather around them, some jeering and laughing. The air is thick with whispers and stares as people gawk at the once-proud nobles stripped of their dignity. Despite the humiliation, Lady Victoria tries to maintain her dignity as she walks through the town square. Eventually, they arrive at the courtyard where four posts await. Both sisters are tied naked between two of the posts. They see their father strapped to a catapult. Akina orders for Victoria and her sister to be given a whipping of fifty lashes.

"You may commence the punishment" Akina says, her voice cold and impassive.

As the crowd watches on, two burly guards approach Lady Victoria and Elaine with whips in hand. The sisters' eyes widen with fear as they realize what's about to happen. The crowd watches in anticipation as the guards ready their whips.

"Please, have mercy" Lady Victoria pleads, her voice barely more than a whisper.

Her sister whimpers beside her, unable to meet anyone's gaze. The guards pay no heed to their pleas, instead positioning themselves behind the sisters. With a loud crack, the first whip snaps forward, leaving a thin red line across Lady Victoria's back. The pain is immediate and intense, causing Lady Victoria to cry out in agony.

Elaine winces at the sound of her sister's pained scream, anticipating the next stroke. The guards take turns, each swinging their whips with brutal ****, leaving bloody welts on the sisters' trembling skin. The sisters' faces contort with pain and fear. Lady Victoria tries to hold back her screams as the pain from the whipping intensifies. Elaine can't help but cry out as well, their naked bodies swaying with each agonizing stroke. With each passing second, the pain of the whipping intensifies, causing Lady Victoria and Elaine to writhe in agony. Their backs are a bloody mess, covered in deep, jagged wounds from the cruel punishment, their screams echoing through the courtyard as tears stream down their faces. Elaine can't help but scream and plead for mercy, tears streaming down her face. As the punishment continues, the sisters are left barely standing, their flesh ripped apart by the intense whipping, their bloodied and lacerated bodies, a testament to the harsh punishment they're enduring. Count Erwyn watches the scene unfold, tears streaming down his face as he witnesses the brutal punishment being inflicted upon his daughters.

"I'm so sorry" he sobs "I never meant for this to happen"

The guards finally stop after delivering the fifty lashes as ordered by Akina. Lady Victoria and Elaine hang limply between the posts, their naked bodies a patchwork of fresh wounds, their skin red and raw from the vicious lashes, barely recognizable as the once-proud nobles they once were. They heave as they try to catch their breath.

The guards, breathing heavily from their exertion, step back from their task, their arms tired from swinging the whips with such brutal ****. They approach with a set of burning irons in the shape of a cross, the symbol of Itheria's religion. Lady Elaine whimpers in fear, unable to do anything but watch as the guards approach. The burning irons are brought close, and with a sickening sizzle, they are pressed against the girls' backs. Lady Victoria and Elaine scream in agony as their skin sizzles and pops under the intense heat of the branding irons. The pain is unbearable as their flesh melts away, leaving behind ugly scars that will serve as a permanent reminder of their humiliation. Lady Victoria and Elaine struggle to catch their breath, their eyes wide with disbelief as they watch their father being launched from the catapult and smash into one of the towers of the castle. Lady Victoria and Elaine are left tied to the posts in the courtyard. As the night progresses, the guards begin to gather around the sisters, their eyes hungrily taking in the sight of the wounded and **** nobles. Lady Victoria screams out in pain and fear as she feels the rough hands of the guards groping her sore, lacerated body. The guards continue their brutal ****, ignoring the pleas for mercy as they take turns **** and abusing the helpless sisters. After a while, the guards finally leave the sisters alone, their exhausted bodies aching and sore from the constant ****. Lady Victoria and her sister are sent to live in a remote covenant on the outskirts of the city, a place where they are to live out the rest of their days as servants to the church.
