After me and Esdeath get dressed I tell her about that Budo fellow. I told her that he requested to talk to her and she did...for a few seconds. I heard a loud slap followed by a thud against the doors. When she opens the doors Budo is in the floor with a large red hand print in his face, presumably put there by Icy Death herself.
"So what did he want?" I ask from the bedside, legs swinging
"He was trying to court me" Ice starts to jut from the floor below her feet
"So he was hitting on you?, but I'm already here and I think he's smart enough to take a hint" I go into a thinker pose "Or maybe he's just stupid"
"No, he attempted convincing me to leave you for him" Her eyes looked like a deprived killer's
"Can I kill him?, he seems like a screamer" I jump off the bed and run for his limp form
"Ah-ah-ahhhh, not yet" She grabs my skirt collar and pulls he in front of her
"Ahhhh, commoooooon...pleeeeeease?" I beg
"No" She sternly looks into my eyes
"Alright fine" I cross my arms and pout "So what are we gonna do today?" I look up at my mistress
"Not sure, rebel activity has greatly decreased since Najenda's death and Night Raid dissolving"
"Yeah, the rebellion has really taken a hit hasn't it" A proud smile appears on her face
"I'm gonna go for a walk, and don't follow me Esdy!" I poke at her breastbone
"Not a chance" She crosses her arms and leans to the left a bit
"Even if I promise to be yours tonight?" I cross my arms right back at her
"N-...ha.......fine, just be back safe alright?" She looks at me like a mother would a child
"Deal!, I'll be back before the lanterns at lit!" I wave and walk out the door

I have no idea where I am, somewhere in the woods behind the palace but that's about all I know. My feet rap against the dirt floor as I attempt to find an way back, no paths in sight. I hear a branch break from behind me then the whoosh of a person
"I know your there......ma'am" I can smell her vaginal fluid
"I thought I was doing pretty well there" She walks out from behind a tree
"Sorry to shoot you down but I've knew you were there for a while, you're all sweaty and stuff" I plug my nose for an added effect
"Huh, it's not even windy and you could smell me?"
"Yep!" I form blades in their usual places "So why are you here lady?" My blades are fully formed and shiny
"Well I'm here to kidnap and torture you, curtesy of general Budo" She smirks as she unsheathes her sword
"That guy?, why work for him?" I cock my head to the side
"Because he pays well" She goes into fighting stance
"Are you sure you wanna die for some dog without teeth?"
"As long as the pay is good I don't care who it is"
"Alright fine, but first, do you wanna rest up a bit or something?, you're heaving and sweat is beading all over you" I point out her tiredness and her pose relaxes
"So it is true, you do fight fair"
"Well yeah, it's boring otherwise, you'll die too fast" My blades retract and she sheathed her weapon
"Take as long as you need, and you don't seem to have any wounds aside from a small cut in your left hand" I point to her hand and she looks at it
"I.....didn't even notice that, so how did you?" She looks at me with wide eyes
"Dry blood smells funny, plus it's color is obvious against your pale skin"
"I suppose you are just as good as they say" She smirks "So who's going to die I wonder?"
"I dunno, I think you might though" I think for a moment "Yeah, I think you're gonna-...what was that?" I feel a dart go into my neck
"That, my good sir, was a sedative that will deactivate your Imperial Arm" She walks closer "And now I can take you without any issues right?"
"I guess s-wait you're not going to kill me?"
"Nope, torture" Her face contorts into an evil grin "And its gonna be fun!" Were the last words I heard before being knocked out

Light floods my vision as I feel metal dig into my skin. When I look down I see that I'm handcuffed to a chair, along with a chain along my torso in an X pattern.
"Heloooooo, laaaaaaady" I shout into the darkness
"Hello" I hear from behind me
"Oh, hey there lad-!" I feel something go into my left ear "What is that!?" I ask with wide eyes
"It's called a larva, it'll turn into a pretty butterfly when we're done, a non-burrowing variation so don't worry about it going into your brain" The pushes the rest of it into my ear
"W-why does it hurt?.." I haven't felt pain in so long that I've forgotten what it feels like
"Because your Imperial Arm is no longer taking the blows for you" She takes out a pair of pliers "And you will break because of that pain" She rips off a toe
"Ahhh!-hah hah hah, why..." I am weak
"Because I was hired to, and I haven't had someone of your age before"
"I will kill you, and it will be painful" Was all I could muster to say
"I have a question for you" She leans in close "How do you skin an Earth Dragon?"
"You cut down the-Ahhhhh!...stomach.."
"Go on"
"Then you cut across the collarbone-Ahhhhhh!..." Why was she asking me things if she was just going to br-ahhhh, I see, she wants me to keep my sanity for as long as possible.
"That's right, go on"
"After a semi-circle is cut into the-Aghhh!...you do the same to the lim-Arghhhhh!.....limbs..."
"Next question, what's 1000-7?" As she said this a sadistic smile formed into her face
