‎‎[CLOCKED: 1296] The Kingdom of Wisteria

It was midnight.

Within Wisteria Kingdom, seated on the throne, was King Eamon IV. The King, with fierce brown eyes, tanned skin, clad in knight's armor, wore a crown resting over his brown hair and a distinguished beard marking him unmistakably as royalty.

The room was filled with exquisite architecture, elegant paintings, and a rich red carpet leading to the grand doors, guarded by two knights. Ornate chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a warm glow, while intricately carved pillars lined the walls, each depicting scenes of past victories. Velvet drapes framed tall windows, and statues of legendary knights stood in solemn poses, watching over the king's hall.

The king looked down at the kneeling woman. She glanced up, asking, "Lord Eamon, what brings me here at this late hour?"

The king replied calmly, "Titania, since you've been governing Wistvale under my command, I expected you to do a better job."

Titania remained confused.

"Lord, may I know the issue?" Titania questioned, her curiosity evident as she sought answers.

The king replied, "The hostile acts from Wistvale toward Wisteria and the government are persistent and unnecessary. They've attempted to incite riots and spread false information about our kingdom, yet nothing has been done about it?"

"Very well, Lord. I will resolve this matter in no time," Titania replied, standing as the king nodded in approval. Her light-blue eyes held a determined gleam, and the golden valkyrie circlet along with her pure blonde hair atop her head caught the dim light, emphasizing her maiden presence.

As she turned to leave, the silver chest plate covering her torso reflected the room's glow, its intricate royal blue winged design a mark of her rank and strength. Her armor, though sleek and minimal, allowed her full mobility, a necessity for her swift, decisive actions. 

Titania was born in the Wisteria Kingdom and had always been loyal to her kingdom and her king. She was the type to sacrifice her own needs for the greater good. Naturally blessed with skill, she rose through the ranks and was granted the title of "Chief Justiciar" by the king at the age of 18, commanding the Wistvale Phylum, the very place of her birth. Now, by her king's order, she must confront the same people from her homeland.

The next day in the afternoon, Titania was in Wistvale, greeted warmly as she walked proudly through the area. Nearby, she noticed a crowd gathering, holding wooden signs and closing in on the Wisteria Kingdom guards. One protester shouted, "Stop this corruption!" while others joined in with cries of, "Wisteria's kingdom needs a new throne, a new king, real justice!"

Titania quickly rushed into the crowd, drawing her sword. The blade, long and slightly curved, gleamed with a sharp edge akin to a longsword. Its hilt was intricately crafted, adorned with elegant rings and shimmering in silver and vibrant gold.

As Titania raised her sword, the crowd fell silent, backing away as she commanded, "Stop this!" Signs were lowered, and people began to disperse quietly. One woman, appearing in her fifties, approached Titania cautiously. "Lady. Titania.. you don't understand this," she murmured, her voice trembling.

"Aunt, what are you saying?" Titania asked, confusion evident in her eyes.

The woman's face grew pained, tears streaming down her cheeks as she continued. "My daughter... my Mary was taken. I saw it, a knight from the kingdom took her. The next day, they claimed she'd stolen bread from the market and had to be punished, but I know my Mary would never do that! They're taking our children…" Her voice broke as she wept, and a guard gently escorted her away.

As Titania walked away, she thought to herself, I know about the corruption within Wisteria's Kingdom. I know there's so much happening behind the scenes… but there's nothing I can do. I'm bound to follow the orders of those above me. What power do I have to change this?

Titania returned to the heart of Wisteria Kingdom, a kingdom nestled within the Trinity Region. The kingdom featured four grand castles surrounded by bustling marketplaces and a vast sea below. Boats capable of flying on the wind moved gracefully through the air, adding to the kingdom's lively atmosphere.

There, Titania met her friend Charlotte, who appeared around 18. Charlotte's pure azure-blue hair cascaded down, tied in buns at the back, and her bright blue eyes shone with a sharp gaze. She wore knight armor with a red skirt, high knee socks, and armored shoes, with a weapon strapped at her waist.

"Titania!" Charlotte called, her voice ringing out like a bell.

Titania approached Charlotte. "Alright, Charlotte, what did the higher-ups say?" 

Charlotte replied, "Um, well… it seems they want us to head to the northern port. Apparently, a riot there led to deaths, and some guards were attacked."

Titania nodded. "Alright, let's go now."

As Titania and Charlotte headed to the northern port, Titania's mind lingered on the inner conflict between Wistvale and Wisteria. She set those thoughts aside, however, choosing to focus on quelling the riots ahead.

The moon rose as day turned to night, and Titania and Charlotte finally reached the Northern Port, a busy district in the Wisteria Kingdom where ships docked, and chests were constantly loaded and unloaded. They met with a few knight guards and saw the rioters: kneeling, their hands bound behind them, and blindfolds covering their eyes.

Seeing the restrained rioters, Titania addressed the knights. "Don't you think that's excessive? Untie them and remove the blindfolds; it's making them sick," she commanded firmly.

The knights exchanged smirks. "Don't worry, Lady Titania," one replied, "it's just part of our duty to rid the kingdom of these insects…"

Charlotte's eyes widened. "What do you mean by that?!"

One of the knights replied coolly, "We're planning to decapitate them. That way, they won't be causing any more trouble. Problem solved, don't you think?"

"Enough of this stupidity!" Titania commanded. "Untie them and release them now! I'll make sure they don't cause more trouble. I was ordered by the king to resolve this, and you all are under my comman-"

Before she could finish, a knight stepped forward. This one had long, curly red hair parted at the middle, falling to his ears. He had a strong, masculine build and an air of elegance and maturity, his sword resting at his waist. The other knights fell silent, stepping aside to let him through.

"All let Captain Reo through!" the guards shouted in unison. The red-haired captain, Reo, stepped forward and spoke firmly, "That's enough, Lady Titania."

Reo's pure red eyes locked onto Titania's. "You're acting suspicious, don't you think? Ordering us to release them… it seems rather disloyal, wouldn't you agree, Titania?"

"What are you saying, Reo?" Titania replied, her tone laced with anger.

"I've looked into you recently," Captain Reo began, his tone sharp. "It seems the rioters are from your hometown, Wistvale. Isn't it obvious? You're just here to save them. Are you perhaps plotting a secret plan to betray the kingdom?"

"Don't be ridiculous, and don't insult my loyalty!" Titania snapped.

Reo smirked, touching her chin. "No, no, no… Don't be stubborn. Let us handle this, or things might go poorly."

Titania slapped his hand away. "Don't touch me, and follow my orders. This cruelty is inhumane, they are people, not pests!"

As Titania spoke, Captain Reo glanced at his hand, visibly irked that she had brushed him off. "Heh…" he chuckled darkly. "Get her, knights."

At his command, the guards surrounded her. "What are you all plotting?" Titania shouted in confusion.

Across the way, two guards held Charlotte, a sword pressed dangerously close to her neck, holding her in place.

Titania raised her sword, ready as the knights surrounded her. "You realize that causing this chaos and getting caught won't be forgiven by the king, right?" she warned.

Reo chuckled darkly. "You're missing the point, Titania."

"What are you saying?" she demanded, eyes narrowing.

"We were ordered to get rid of you, by the king himself!" he sneered, his laughter turning disturbingly unhinged.

Titania steadied her stance as the guards moved in, slicing through several of them. "You're underestimating my abilities!" she shouted defiantly.

Moments passed as the fight continued. "Do it!" Reo shouted. Do what…? Titania wondered, glancing toward one of the knights at the back. Suddenly, he decapitated the rioters, their heads falling to the ground.

"No!" Titania screamed, charging forward, but shock paralyzed her, leaving her vulnerable. The guards took advantage, forcing her to the ground as she thought, I can't move…

Crap, what's happening to Charlotte?, straining to look to her left while pinned down. She caught sight of Charlotte in distress, restrained by two guards, she was being stripped naked as she struggled. Strange sounds escaped her, heightening Titania's horror. What are they doing to her?! she thought, panic surging within her.

"Help me, Titania!" Charlotte screamed, but it seemed as if no one was around. One of the knights, without hesitation, silenced her with a slap across the face as she struggled beneath him. "Shut up, slut!" he growled. "Please have mercy on me! For the love of God, don't do this!" One of the guards brutally assaulted her. Charlotte let out a pained cry as she bled, and couldn't endure it. The other guard then forced himself into her mouth, moving back and forth.

Titania lay pinned to the floor, feeling her will slipping. Reo's words about the kingdom's betrayal echoed in her mind, making her question everything. Had her loyalty been for nothing?

The guards exchanged sly grins. "I'll take her first!" one jeered. "No, I'm first!" another chimed in, but Reo interrupted, sounding amused. "Back off. Titania's mine," he ordered. "You all can have your fun with the other one," he added, casting a glance toward Charlotte.

Titania, silent and resigned, she gazed up at Reo, her life's hope seemingly drained away. But as Reo expressed his joy, yelling "I like your face expression, Titania!" he went a step further by ripping off her armor and clothes, leaving her utterly exposed.

Reo placed himself down behind Titania and, well, got himself primed and ready to action. He couldn't resist yanking Titania's hair, not that she seemed to care much. But then, rather roughly and uncaringly, Reo plunged in. Titania, with a sudden wave of pain, let out a scream, "Ow, ow!"

He's gripping her breast and shouts, "How does this feel, Titania? Is it pleasant?" he inquires, continuing his actions.

He stood up, wrapping his arm around her neck, and forced her to her feet, just as he was about to release. That's when Titania let out a terrible growl, clearly in agony. As he discharged, he shoved her back onto the floor. Her mind spun with thoughts of torture, This is unbearable! I loathe this world! I despise everyone, why am I being subjected to this? As the floor became a puddle from her, she seemed to be slipping into unconsciousness.

Titania's vision blurred as she drifted toward unconsciousness. But as she blinked, the scene around her changed completely. She was still lying down, yet the entire environment, the atmosphere itself, felt different, as though she had been transported to another world. She touched herself and felt no pain, no trace of the sensations from moments ago. What's going on… where am I?

Suddenly, a robotic female voice echoed in her mind.

[ADMIN: ANDROID MALFUNCTION]

[ADMIN: REBOOTING...]

[ADMIN: REBOOT FAILED]

"What is this noise… what's echoing in my ears?" she muttered.

The voice continued:

[ADMIN: REBOOTING...]

[ADMIN: USER DETECTED]

[ADMIN: BIO-ANDROID, KNOWN AS META ANDROID, MODEL 4]

[ADMIN: YOUR NAME IS ANDROID 22-11. I REPEAT, YOUR NAME IS ANDROID 22-11]

[ADMIN: AGE > 15]

[ADMIN: REBOOT FAILED]

[ADMIN: DUE TO REBOOT FAILURE, YOU WILL BE SHUT DOWN FOR 10 HOURS]

As the voice concluded, Titania slipped into unconsciousness.
