THE VENGEFUL LOTUS Pt. 1

by Dream

 It was on the 31st of August 1842 that the British troops, led by young Duke Williams, marched down the streets of the ancient city of Nanjing. The weak, corrupted, defenseless Chinese Imperial Court has granted the British, via the Treaty of Nanjing, all trade and civil liberties. That meant no British could be accused or even tried by Chinese people, even if crimes were committed inside their own national boundaries.

 Duke Williams was accompanied by his sultry mistress Alicia.

 Alicia was not of noble birth, far from that. She used to hang out on the narrow streets and alleys of London, flaunting her beauty to the gentlemen passing by. She also stayed in bars and taverns at nights, flirting with men of high social class, hoping benefits could be made from the “relationships”. It did happen, and she won Duke William’s heart, but her dirty background kept her away from officially marrying him and turning into a Duchess.

 The first thing that came to the Duke’s mind was to loot the richest man in the city. It would be a fantastic way to start his journey. As the soldiers brought out chests and chests of gold, silver, heirlooms, paintings and many other valuable treasures from Mr. Li’s villa, Alicia remained motionless on her horse.

 Her long, straight, golden blond hair was tied back into a simple high tail. Her large, deep blue eyes were fixed on the main entrance to the villa. Her nose rose very steeply from its bridge, thus giving it a long, thin yet straight shape. Her cheekbones and jawbones were very well defined, cupping her angelic face perfect. Her lips were thin and shining. Her shoulders were shapely and her busty full and firm. Her arms were toned and her legs long. She was very tall compared to most Asian women (maybe taller by half a head). That entire body was enveloped in a peach white skin. She was a beauty in many’s eyes.

 But she had a fetish: beating on people. She has gotten this habit ever since her earliest years, when she had to struggle with other poor kids on the streets to get what she wanted. Only the Duke knew about this. Alicia had to release her rage from time to time on someone and the Duke made sure he wouldn’t be that someone. Her horse trotted into the high-walled garden and stayed still. The Duke stood nearby, admiring his beauty on the horse. This wild side of her did nothing to diminish his lustful thoughts for her, but instead did a lot of increase them.

 Her lips were constantly curled up to form a grin. She knew that the Li family was well known for its martial arts practicing members. Alicia loved the idea of it. She hasn’t lost a single fight ever since she fought.

 Finally, two redcoats brought a young girl out to the garden. She was in her early twenties. Her eyes were almond shaped and given a brown tint. She had small hands and feet and was short. Her skin was clear white, but bruises were all over her body. Her traditional Chinese robe was torn here and there, leaving openings through which people could see her body. She has been beaten out, it was obvious.

 Alicia finally hopped down her horse and began unbuttoning her riding coat. The soldiers then brought in the shaken butler of the house. It was an old man.

 “Tell her, that if she can beat this lady, we’ll let her go. If not…” The Duke didn’t have to finish. He simply completed his sentence with an evil smile.

 The old man, who has been dealing with British for quite some time, understood what the Duke meant despite the language barrier. He looked up with sorrowful eyes at the young lady. He spoke out a sentence in Chinese then pointed at Alicia, who has just removed her riding coat.

 The blonde stood in the middle of the garden, in a low cut top and tight riding pants, her feet inside the long leather boots. She rubbed her hands along her naked shoulders and grinned at the black haired girl.

 The old man showed a lot of respect towards the young girl before him. She was the eldest daughter of Mr. Li. A soldier pulled away Alicia’s horse; the other pulled away the old man.

 Alicia raised her fists and shrugged her shoulders to warm the articulations up. She stared at the smaller, weaker girl.

 Miss Li tried to adjust her ragged robe while focusing on Alicia. The Duke sat down on a chair and watched the scene.

 Alicia struck first, swinging her right leg hard at Miss Li’s hip. The shorter girl brought her arms down to block the kick but it was simply too powerful. She flew back and crashed down onto the grass, her forearms paralyzed and tensed. She winced and stared at her aggressor. Alicia chuckled and brought down her guard, rolling her eyes. Miss Li struggled back to her shaky legs and regrouped. Alicia quickly moved in and launched a powerful right hook at her face, then a left one. Miss Li’s small face snapped to both sides, the force sending her back down. The Asian girl was clearly weaker than the Nordic woman. Her vision was blurry. If not because of Alicia’s golden tinted hair, she wouldn’t have seen her then.

 “Come on, little bitch!” Alicia finally said as she leaned down, her guard up, yet as if flaunting her bustier chest to her foe.

 Miss Li’s father was killed not long ago, not even half an hour. She saw her family’s honor vanish in a few minutes. She was the last hope perhaps? She blinked her eyes a few times to clear her vision and then courageously stood back up. She stared at Alicia. Alicia closed in once more, firing a powerful straight fist at Miss Li’s face. This time, Alicia didn’t feel her knuckles connect. The Chinese girl quickly leaned aside and caught the blonde’s fist by her wrist. Bringing out her fore and middle fingers in one hand, she stabbed it up in Alicia’s armpit. The blow let out a loud scream.

 “AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Alicia showed an almost exaggerated grimace as her entire arm was invaded by paralyzing waves of pain. Her nerve was struck.

 Miss Li spun around, still holding the blonde’s hand, and slammed her elbow across Alicia’s shoulders. The attack forced Alicia to bend down, the grimace still deforming her beautiful face. Then, the Chinese girl simply threw her foot back, smashing it on the blonde’s nose.

 The combo sent Alicia flying down onto the grass, sobbing and moaning. She weakly kicked and pushed on her arms. Miss Li stumbled around, still weak from the previous abuses. The Duke sprang off his chair and stared at the scene in shock.

 Miss Li then brought her flexible leg up and slashed it down at Alicia. The ruthless blonde brought her hands out and managed to catch the foot before it landed. But the martial artist swiftly pulled her foot out of the shoe. And as Alicia still held her muddy shoe, Miss Li struck and crushed her naked sole on the blonde’s ample chest.

 “UGH!” Alicia made as her body and legs snapped up. She stared at the foot on her chest and did not believe it. The painful was great and she had to react quickly.

 Alicia suddenly sprang up, taken by a sudden frenzy and tackled the weak Miss Li to the ground. Pinning her under her larger and stronger body, the blonde grabbed the black hair and started pulling wildly onto it. In a total berserk, she started slamming Miss Li’s head over and over on the hard dirt with barbaric strength and speed.

 We could see the Chinese girl’s struggles weakening, slowly, slowly and slower. After a dozens of blows to the head, Miss Li went limp, but Alicia continued her assault. She stared at her opponent with burning eyes. The pain must have driven her into this bloodlust. Finally, after many more blows, she stopped and stared down at her foe. Miss Li was motionless.

 Alicia bit her own lips and moaned as she slowly stood back up. A soldier rushed to check on the defeated girl.

 “She’s dead, Sire!” He reported to the Duke.

 The Duke slowly walked to his beauty and put his hand on her shoulder. She panted and smiled down.

 “Another victory, my dear!” He told her.

 She turned to him and smiled, then kissed him on the lips.

 The Duke pulled out a handkerchief and wiped off the blood from her bleeding nose.

 Alicia let out a giggle.

 But the Duke did not know, nor did Alicia know, that Mr. Li had two daughters and that the second one was never found in the house.

 She was there though, a witness what Alicia did to her sister…
