<div class="floatright"><div align="center">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/4f/Slave_guard.jpg)<br/>A guard<br/></div></div><br/>As the guard started overcoming the Crown of Madness, he saw Lilian choking Kendal, both of them out of their ropes.  He didn't remember untying Lilian, and he was disappointed he didn't.<br/><br/><strong>"Oh, you girls like to play rough, huh?"</strong><br/><br/>He didn't notice Alianda moving off to the side and looking for a weapon.  The only edge in view was at his waist, the knife that he used to cut the bindings of the other sex slaves.  He also didn't see the human fighter going behind him, and that was because he again succumbed to Masako's spell.<br/><br/>Despite Lilian very lewdly and seductively trying to tease him with her breasts sandwiching one of the vertical holding cell bars, he was mesmerized by Masako turned around and bent over at the waist for him.  Her bottom was every bit as curvaceous and lovely as her breasts.<br/><br/><strong>"Just a little ride...  I'll be gentle...  At first..."</strong><br/><br/>The red glow returned to his eyes and the iron crown was again spinning around his head.  He actually put the key into the keyhole this time.<br/><br/>And that's when the other guard returned.<br/><br/>"Got some leftovers for the slaves.  Along with a fresh bowl for you.  I also found some extra lodestones for the shock collar rod...  Wait, what are you doing?!"<br/><br/>The guard originally watching the girls turned around to the voice.<strong>"No!  Get away from here!  Masako Highwind is mine!"</strong>He whipped his head around and started stomping toward his comrade.<br/><br/>There was a faint sound of metal key hitting stone floor.  Except it wasn't the whole key.  The key had broken in half.<br/><br/>The handle of the key was on the floor.  The shaft of the key was still in the lock.  A small piece of the key's shaft protruded out of the lock.  The key's shaft was unable to be turned, but there was enough to pull the shaft out of the lock.<br/><br/>The two guards were actually fighting now.  And the original guard was winning.<br/><br/><br/><br/><em>Edit - 2018-12-21 - Added the lodestones bit.</em>
