And when she had come of age, the youngest of her siblings, she was doubly blessed to receive the call from the church to be a paladin, a holy paragon to defend the weak and inspire hope.<br/><br/>Of course, she was eager to begin questing, to put her calling into practice.  Her best friend growing up, Lucia, had just graduated from the wizarding academy, and insisted on coming joining her.  It had been fun and fulfilling.  But then came the day when Lucia was captured by slavers.  Valeria had tracked them down and confronted them... there were a dozen of them.  She knew she would lose this fight, but could probably have killed half of them before they defeated her.  She offered this bargain: they release Lucia, and she gave them her word that she would return in 2 days, after ensuring Lucia's recovery and safety, and voluntarily give herself up to them.  For the slavers, it was a winning proposition:  yes, one pretty noble girl for another, but this other was a paladin.  When would they ever have this chance?  Plus none of them were in a hurry to die.<br/><br/>That second day came.  Valeria had left her belongings with Lucia (who had protested greatly) to return home to her family, including her armor and her sword.  She had no choice but to uphold the worth of a paladin's word.  She returned to the slavers, wearing little more than a simple linen dress over her undergarments.  As she had suspected, even that she would be unable to keep, as their first action was to tear off her clothing as they prodded and taunted her.<br/><br/>As she had stood there, vulnerable in the middle of a dozen leering men, fear nearly overtook her.  Most of the men were taller than her.  She wasn't large; she was strong, but her body was toned like a dancer.  And the men easily tossed her lithe naked body back and forth amongst themselves, as one of them brought out the ropes.  The tightness by which they bound her arms and wrists forced her chest forward, humiliatingly accentuating her uncovered breasts.  The rope was then wound around her torso like a mockery of clothing, leaving nothing to the imagination.<br/><br/>They had forced her to her knees, pushing aside her blonde hair to attach the collar around her delicate neck, then the rope attached to the back of her rope harness, pressing up against her pussy lips, looped through her collar ring.  The slaver gave it a painful tug, causing her to squeal in a way unbefitting of a noble holy warrior.  "<strong>You paladins know to run your mouths preaching your high and mighty ideas.  But let's first see if you know how to use those pretty lips of yours for real.</strong>"  The room had exploded in laughter, and Valeria didn't think that the nightmare could get worse ....<br/><br/>The young disgraced noble's mind returned to the present.  She was being led alongside a dark haired woman similarly bound.  Their eyes had met, but they were hardly in a place to converse.  The ball gag that now filled Valeria's mouth tasted unpleasant, mixed with the lingering traces her captors had left behind.  She wondered if the other girl had been humiliated in the same way.  Her promise was only to submit to being taken to the holding cells.  Once they arrived, the paladin would be seeking every opportunity to bring these miscreants to justice ....
