Vivian and the Princess schedules their transition and Valentina's plans proceed
Chapter 10

Valentina ran for nearly two miles. Julia did her best to follow her friend, but eventually fell too far behind and turned back. She knew it was not Valentina’s doing, but things were what they were and Valentina was a woman now whether she liked it or not. And now Valentina was training herself hard to pass the trials to enlist in the Shadow Corps. She also devoted herself to her intensive studies to attend an elite military academy.

Valentina missed her sisters greatly. Her elder sister Jeanne received her orders a few days ago and had to report for duty. She was sent off to Aragon along with thousands of other soldiers.

Carmine was a combat pilot and she received orders and as far as Valentina knew, she was on her carrier or patrolling the skies above Aragon. Valentina was mostly alone now. But Jeanne was thoughtful enough to leave her with a special trainer from the Shadow Corps, and that woman helped Valentina get into shape. She was harder on Valentina than Jeanne was but she knew this was going to prepare her to pass the trials to enter the Shadow Corps.

After running several miles, Valentina went back to her family's estate and went to the training area in the basement to continue her workout. Her trainer, Rhonda, worked her out hard for another couple of long, grueling hours. She did hundreds of pushups and sit-ups. She lifted weights and then did combat drills with the woman and she even brought in a man from the army and she finished the session with nearly a half-hour of going at the training bag. Rhonda worked Valentina out ruthlessly and she was drenched with sweat and felt a lot of pain after the session. Valentina still had planned to have lunch with her friend Julia after her workout. Then she had a meeting with the Empress herself.

Julia had broken up with her because she was not attracted to other women and could not maintain a romantic relationship with another woman. But Julia maintained her friendship with her and she helped Valentina out when needed.

Valentina was very sore from her workout, she had not exercised like that for a long time. She could not meet a friend like this and she certainly could not meet the Empress in this condition. So Valentina ran to the bathroom where she undressed down to her nude female form. The water felt good as it came down her breast and down to her intimate crevices. The long and hot shower felt great and helped with her aching muscles.

Valentina found out that women have to typically spend more time in the shower because they have more things to do when washing. And women have to be very stringent when they wash. There are many things they have to do and it must be done right. Their looks are very important and it's a sensitive matter that must be attended to in the correct way. While as a man, she could shower within ten minutes and get out. It was vastly different as a woman and the numerous things she had to pay attention to often took almost an hour in the shower. She learned that very quickly after being forced to transition into a woman. To use moisturizer followed by rinsing and then lathering her body up with a certain type of soap, while paying special attention to certain areas of her body which must be washed correctly to avoid various types of infections. Then her hair. It was all a nightmare at first, but now it was just her life. But she still felt like it wasn’t right and her life was stolen from her.

And now it was time to redo her hair which took more time and it was best to do it while it was still wet and let it dry in place. So Valentina spent over thirty more minutes carefully brushing her hair and taking care of the tangles. Then styling her hair right so it hangs the correct way and best favor her features. After which it was time to choose the correct clothes to go out with a friend for lunch. It would also have to be suitable for also meeting an Empress since she didn’t want to have to return to her home and dress again. As a man, she could simply put on a nice suit and tie and be on her way. But not as a woman.

An expensive pair of panties and a bra was a good start. Valentina selected an underwire bra that would hold up her large breasts on display and give her the proper form and cleavage for her breasts. Then Valentina spent some time polishing and painting her nails bright red and letting them all dry. A pair of sexy back satin nylons were rolled up both legs.

She selected a waist clincher to give her figure a better image. A nice evening gown with the deep neckline that would put her cleavage on display was selected. Valentina had heard that the Empress had a sort of fetish for formally feminized men and was very interested in those that actually had breasts. She was told to pay special attention to what she selected so her breasts would look beautiful. She finished the look with a pair of bright red pumps. Then Valentina spent some time in front of the mirror making up her face and she was ready to go meet her friend. She went out and headed toward the local restaurant they had selected together. Valentina was sad that Julia could no longer maintain a romantic relationship with her but she understood. Anyway, Valentina had someone else in mind that she wanted to marry. Someone who probably would not want a romantic and sexual relationship with a woman. That thought brought a smile to her face as she headed toward their restaurant.

Valentina pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant and got out of her small car. Julia was there waiting for her. She ran toward Valentina and gave her a big hug before they walked toward the front door of the restaurant. They walked together holding hands and Julia asked, looking at what Valentina was wearing, “Why are you dressed like that, we are just going to lunch, not to a club to meet guys.”

“I have been summoned to meet the Empress later today and I didn’t want to have to go back and dress,” Valentina explained as they entered the restaurant.

“Oh,” Julia looked sideways at Valentina as they were directed to a table where they sat down. Julia asked as they were looking at the menu, “How are you handling your life as a woman now?”

“Julia,” Valentina said. “I have lived as a woman for over five years and have extensive instruction on it. I am doing okay living as a woman. It’s been my life for this long. But, I still don’t really like this life and I feel it wasn’t meant for me. But none of that really matters, it is my life whether I accept it or not.”

Julia knew that but asked further, “I mean now, that you know that you can’t really go back. That now you know that this is your life and there is no reversing it. How are you handling that?”

Valentina ground her teeth in anger and replied, “It’s rough, but as I said before. This is my life and I must live my life. I have made plans for my future and I have a family that accepts and loves me. I can endure, but it still fills me with anger. I wasn’t meant to be a woman. This was forced on me. I hope I can repay what was done to me.”

They ordered their drinks and their food while Valentina just sat there. Julia was now deeply concerned with her friend. Valentina had a lot of anger built up that looked more like rage at times. And she was very committed to getting revenge. Julia understood. If her life and sex had been taken away from her to satisfy the deviant and sick fetishes of another person she would be furious too. Julia might feel the same way. She hoped and prayed that in time, Valentina could find peace in her life.

Their lunch finished and Valentina made sure that she was clean and ready to see the Empress. She had informed the Empress's office of her plans and as she exited the restaurant, she saw the red-suited imperial guard of the Empress there with an official car, ready to transport her to the neighboring capital and to the Empress’s imperial palace.

They rode mostly in silence as they left town heading toward the capital. It took two to three hours until they reached the Capital and made their way to the Empress’s Imperial Palace and pulled in front. She was let out and escorted toward the front doors. Her escort pulled out their ID’s and their orders to escort her to the Empress for a personal meeting. They were let into the inner chambers of the Palace. Valentina was led into a large waiting room where they were approached by the Empress’s guards. Her escort showed them their orders and Valentina was instructed to wait outside until the Empress was ready to admit her into her office.

Valentina entered the Empress’s private office and stopped before the Empress. She knelt, bowing her head in respect.

The Empress told her to stand and take a seat and Valentina obeyed.

The Empress looked like a very powerful woman. She sat there in her imperial robes of the color of her house. Her hair was blood red and done in some sort of French updo that made her look powerful. Her face was stern as if it was chiseled from iron. Her eyes were very sharp and fearsome-looking in how they focused on her. Her body was muscular and powerful.

She saw Valentina looking very frightened and the Empress said kindly, “Do not fear, Valentina. I punish people who deserve it. You are an innocent victim and I have no intention of punishing you or inflicting any more harm on you. You are safe here, have a bright future in our nation. You will be protected.”

Valentina calmed down and stopped trembling in her chair and the Empress said, “I am happy to be informed that you have chosen to remain female. I know this life was forced on you. But as a woman, you will have many more options than you would have as a male. There is no shame in being a woman.”

“I feel no shame in being a woman, My Empress. It’s the fact that this was forced against my will and I feel violated. I was not meant to be female. My body was changed against my will.”

“I am sure you will thank them all for their kindness when the time comes,” The Empress said with a dark, wicked smirk.

“I intend to,” replied Valentina.

The Empress then asked, “I helped you be adopted into a powerful noble family with daughters who have chosen military careers. How are you feeling about their family?”

She smiled, “I thank you for helping me. My new family is helping me a lot. I have two very great sisters to look up to and they have inspired me to be much better. They were called to duty and I miss them a lot,” Valentina frowned a little.

“They have duties to attend to as active-duty personnel in the military do. I hear you are training to be in the military.”

“I want to be in the Shadow Corps. like my oldest sister Jeanne. I have been training hard for that and learning all I can. I also want to attend the military officer's academy. I am studying all I can to prepare for that.”

The empress held up her hand to stop Valentina and warned, “Remember, the Shadow Corps. do not exist. Don’t talk about them too much.

“It is good that you have accepted being female, since only women can enter the Shadow Corps. Your family will help you to be accepted into their ranks. You will have to study hard to be accepted into the academy,” The Empress said.

“My Empress, Can I ask you a sensitive question?” Valentina asked very hesitantly.

“Yes,” the Empress replied.

“It’s about same-sex relationships. I know Castile and your catholic law really frown on it. And same-sex marriages are outlawed.”

“Yes, it’s against our religion,” the Empress replied sternly. “And you and I both saw the horrors that can result in same-sex marriages. I won’t reconsider it, but go on with your question.”

“I was dating a woman named Julia, but she recently broke up with me. We remain friends. She could not deal with being in a relationship with another woman. But I have another woman in mind that I want to marry. I want to marry her whether she wants to or not in the way I was married to the other count in Aragon.”

The Empress saw where this was going and said, “So you want to force this woman into a marriage with you. Who is she and why would you want to do this to her?”

“Her name is Leanne Sterling and she has participated in such marriages many times and performed the forced feminization and discipline on five separate men to make the men desirable for another man’s sexual desire. I was one of them. Now as a woman, I want her to experience it personally.”

“I have heard a great deal about this vicious and heartless woman,” was the Empress’s reply, “from the various men I have helped rescue from there. None of what I heard was good and it has upset me. I agree with you that she needs to experience it from the other side. You know same-sex marriages are outlawed in Castile. But I will allow Aragon a limited degree of religious and social freedom from our laws. They will have limited autonomy.

"While we do outlaw contracted marriages like that, I have put in an exception for those that were involved in performing or executing such marriages before, as punishment. That will include Leanne so I will okay it for her. But the marriage will have to be performed in Aragon. And being married to her in Aragon may affect your military career that you are planning for here.”

Valentina smiled, “I can have a wife and family in Aragon and still go to school here and train. I will visit my wife when I can.” Both women laughed.

The Empress pointed out, “But you will have to secure her family's consent to marry Leanne.”

“Leanne has a younger brother who needs medical help and that’s where a lot of her money goes. She is an embarrassment to most of her family. Also, she has a son she does her best to hide. That son is also a source of shame to the family as she is not married. I am sure securing their consent will not be hard.”

“Very well,” was the Empress’s reply. “I will allow it to go forward. You may arrange a forced marriage on Leanne.”

<<<<<<>>>>>>

Martin was very glad that his new girlfriend Vivian could accept the feminine lifestyle that he had adopted in order to be an active member of the female-only organization called the Shadow Corps. He was required to totally assume a female identity and present himself as a woman full time. He had been going by the name Natalia for the better part of three years now. Martin, now Natalia was with Vivian in her bedroom.

Arch Duchess Vivian Knox was alone in the bedroom with her love, Natalia, wearing the royal colors from her own house. She had on her head the crown of an archduchess. Natalia was wearing her black women's military uniform as she smiled lovingly toward Vivian. Natalia was a very beautiful woman, and even though she was biologically male, and a good looking man, it hurt her that such a great man could be hurt as much as Natalia was. But Natalia was a very strong woman.

Natalia kissed Vivian awkwardly and said quietly, “You are such a beautiful woman, Vivian. Never let anyone tell you differently. But there is something that I need to tell you about me before we proceed further.”

Vivian looked sideways at her girlfriend Natalia, and said with a smile, “I know about you Natalia. It is no secret. I know you are biologically male. I know your birth name is Martin, and you are Martin Hastings living and dressing as a female. You make a very beautiful woman and you accept it for your military career.”

“It’s not that, I figured someone of your power already knew that part. I stood in front of my entire unit and told them about my previous life. This is about the man that I was before,” Natalia said to Vivian. “As a man in my previous life, before the horror with the Baron, I was a sexist arrogant asshole. I was married multiple times and I treated my wives horribly. Nothing near to how I was treated by the Baron. I was never cruel or abusive to my wives, I never violently raped my wives or had them punished. But I used them and considered it my right as a man. I was dismissive of their feelings and cheated on them. Those women really enjoyed watching my downfall and felt I deserved it. And that's because of the man I used to be. I am ashamed of my behavior then.”

Then Natalia said, “But I have changed and I respect you as the beautiful and powerful woman you have become. I love you, Vivian.”

“That is okay and I can accept that,” Vivian said. “The Empress respects and helps you now. Now, as the woman that you are, Natalia, and the friendships you developed with the women of your unit, I am sure you have changed a lot. Forget the man you were before. He was destroyed. Personally, I disagree with those women that thought you deserved what happened. If they really loved you, they would have fought for you. I would have,” Vivian pointed out.

“No, I seriously doubt you would have fought for the man I used to be,” Natalia replied. “I was such a sexist asshole and a little homophobic too. You probably would have enjoyed seeing me treated like I was by the Baron, because I would have demeaned and humiliated you too. I figured it was a woman’s place.”

Vivian giggled and said snidely, “No, I would never approve of anyone being treated like you were treated. I wouldn’t have allowed you to humiliate me. We probably would never have been in any relationship. I would never have accepted such a man. But I wouldn’t have enjoyed your downfall. I would have fought for you.”

“Natalia, I also have something that I need to tell you,” Vivian stated and waited. She visibly braced herself.

“You can tell me anything and I won’t care,” Natalia replied.

“You know I am Trans and biologically male, pretty much like you except I wanted to be a woman for my entire life.” Vivian said seriously, expecting Natalia to be upset. “I had some work forcibly performed on me. But I am still a male. I still have my penis and it's very large. It can rival yours,” Vivian said, giggling in embarrassment.

“I expected so,” Martin said at ease, “And it does not matter. I know what you really are. And for your forced marriage, you had to remain male and retain your cock. I understand, and do not care.” Natalia pulled Vivian in for a deep passionate kiss. “I love you for the woman you are.”

When Vivian was able to surface for air, she said, “My cock is something I am about to take care of. And even the Empress said I need to take care of it. Can you wait for a second while I make a call?”

Vivian picked up her phone and dialed a number. She had been meaning to make this call to the doctor's office specializing in plastic surgery and gender transformations and needed to get it done before the end of business. The phone was answered within seconds.

After the receptionist had greeted her, Vivian replied, “My name is Vivian Knox and I would like to make an appointment to see the doctor. I am biologically male.”

The receptionist replied, “That is okay, Vivian. We have a lot of male patients.”

“I would like to speak to the doctor about my transition. Especially, I need to get breast implants. And a few other major things changed.”

“Sure, Vivian we can arrange that. When would you like to speak to the doctor? We need to arrange an appointment to speak about it and what you want.”

“As soon as possible. I need to get it done by the end of the week,” Vivian replied.

“An opening just came up this afternoon if you could come in, Vivian.”

Vivian smiled at the phone and it came through in her voice, “That would be great. Thank you.”

Vivian hung up the phone to turned to smile at Natalia, a happy smile on her face.

“Are you sure this is what you want?” inquired Natalia, unsure. “You are serious about this, aren’t you? You do not need to do this just for me. I know you are a woman regardless of your body. I can accept you.”

“I'm sure,” Vivian replied. “The Empress demanded it, but I was already preparing myself. This is what I always wanted. And I seriously doubt that you want to maintain a long term relationship with someone having a cock that can rival yours. You were in a relationship like that and hated it.”

“This is vastly different and you aren’t like him at all. The Baron was a sadistic monster who enjoyed abusing and tormenting me,” Natalia said. “If this is what you seriously want, then I totally support you.”

“All of the noble class and the wealthy are perverted sadists. This transition is what I have always wanted,” Vivian said. “I didn’t want to give it up to my previous husband. I will for you, and our great empress.

Vivian began preparing for her medical appointment. Natalia saw Vivian's simmering anger and she understood Vivian’s resentment over how she was treated. Natalia went through it too. Just in a different way.

Natalia helped Vivian get ready. Vivian had recently purchased a new wardrobe and chose a simple gown to wear. After she did her makeup and hair, she left. Natalia thought Vivian was a stunningly beautiful woman.

It took Vivian about half an hour to reach the doctor's office. After she signed herself in for her appointment, she took a seat and simply waited. There were several other transgender people waiting as well.

About ten minutes later, the front door opened and Alejandra walked in. The Princess herself took a seat beside Vivian with a brilliant smile. She looked at Vivian, “I am so proud of you for doing this, Vivian. You are so brave. I understand you resisting when that man was trying to force you, that was so wrong and he was trying to make you weak. You are strong and you will enjoy this life so much. We will make sure everything goes smoothly and as fast as possible. You will make such a beautiful stunning woman, Vivian. You just wait.”

The Princess said in Vivian’s ear, ”I just wanted you to know, these are the same people who worked on John Hastings and Antonio Velasquez. It is where John Hastings got his breasts from. They transformed Antonio and even Jason, you know him. I just thought you should know.”

Vivian knew Jason but had to ask, “Who's John Hastings?” She knew the Hastings name from her lover.

“John was married to Natalia’s father. John was a guy before Natalia was feminized. John was feminized by Martin’s father. John had a grand time watching his own son suffer and be tormented and abused the man himself. John received large breasts to make him more enticing to his husband.”

Vivian was called into an examination room by a nurse who proceeded to gather some information from her. She answered some basic questions about the life that she lived out before. Her age, sex, family, and history which they mostly already knew from his previous marriage and what was done to her from them. And then the nurse left her alone.

The Doctor came in soon after the nurse left and sat down beside Vivian. “You are Vivian Knox, Age 23. And you are transitioning into a woman. Is that true?”

“Yes,” Vivian said softly.

The doctor continued, repeating some of what he had just said. “You are Vivian Knox. Formerly Vivian Mendoza, wife of Duke Emilio Mendoza.”

Vivian looked down, “I do not want to talk about that.”

“Well,” the Doctor said. “I know the marriage to the Duke was extremely difficult for you to accept, but it’s because of him that we have got a lot of background information on you and your medical history in case he ever wanted to schedule something else for you. It has made things here much easier. So Vivian, can you tell us what you want done? You said breast enlargements, so what kind and how large do you want, and is there anything else?”

Vivian looked down and then said, “I want larger breasts, D to double D. And I want them to look as realistic as possible. I want to lose my penis and have a real female vagina. I want to look more like a woman and I want full female internal organs like a uterus.”

The Doctor was writing it all down and going through the options. “That is very possible and we can do that. I can assure you we won’t have to do implants or cut into your chest. It can be done very naturally in little more than a day. And I am told you want it done as soon as possible?”

“Yes,” Vivian said. “Hopefully within the week is best.”

“With your status and your titles here, we can do this very quickly for you. I can put you in for tomorrow morning if you want,” the doctor said to Vivian.

He asked a round of additional questions about herself and Vivian answered as best as she could.

“Good, we can set it all up for tomorrow morning and it will take about a day. If you show up at the hospital tonight, we can get in all of the prep work and have genetic specialists do the tests on your DNA and chromosomes and prepare everything for tomorrow.”

Vivian smiled now that this was finally happening and she replied, “Thank you. I will be there.”

She left thinking about the doctors in this practice. If they were truly serious and competent, they would have scheduled a round of appointments with gender therapists to make sure this was really what Vivian wanted and ensure she could handle it and wasn’t being pushed into this. Or doing it on a whim.

But of course, here in this hellhole, things like the person's own desires, will, or consent mattered little to those in charge. And that was the big problem here. It was what Vivian wanted to change.

Vivian made it back to her place to see the Princess there waiting for her with a few other people. Natalia was also there to welcome her back with a big kiss. She welcomed Vivian back with a smile.

The Princess said to Vivian, “This will take longer than we planned and I have also decided to undergo the same procedure as you, so I moved our assignment up for later in the week to give us time to recover before we have to go.

“What is our assignment?” Vivian inquired.

“Richard Stone,” The Princess replied. “People in Aragon have a contract out to capture him. They have a contracted marriage out and Leanne has been hired to do the transition.”

“How can they do this with us here?” Vivian asked.

“We don’t control all of Aragon yet. There’s still a huge part of the country that is still out of our control. Richard Stone will be the final piece of the puzzle. We have to stop him from coming here to Castile. That’s where you come in.”

Vivian looked confused, “I really don’t understand.”

“We could let him come in and get captured and married to a powerful man who will dominate him. We would rescue him and that would be enough to finally break the alliance. But, if we prevent it from ever happening and warn him of what he will be facing here. Then it would still be more than enough to break the alliance, but also build up some goodwill with this man and the United States.

"Valentina, you, Natalia, and Vivian should be able to get through to him as how serious and devastating it all is.”

This would be rough on Valentina. “Valentina?” Vivian said confused.

“Yes, that is another male bride like you. She was Leanne’s first transformation and one of the most radical ever performed before us. Valentina is now totally female. She will help convince Richard Stone. We have even convinced John Hastings to meet us in New York to help.”

A very sour look overtook Natalia at the mention of John and she asked very acidly, “Why in hell do we need that cruel bastard?”

The princess tried to reason with Natalia, “He was another citizen of the United States that was captured. His help will be very valuable for this mission. As is his relation to you. Now listen, Natalia. This is the Empress’s will. This is the final piece of the puzzle.

"Richard Stone is one of the most powerful men in the United States. He is their primary military contractor. He builds their ships and he has many people in Congress in his pocket. If we convince him of the threat he faces there, this can assure that Aragon’s alliance with them will be finally broken. Then we will be able to totally adsorb Aragon. We will have free reign to annex the entire country and America won’t care one bit. Richard Stone's allies in Congress will be enough to break their formal alliance. This is vital and we will need everyone we can get to convince Richard Stone not to go to Aragon or help them at all. Do you understand, Natalia?”

“Yes,” Natalia said very sourly. “If this is vital then it is vital. Especially if it is the Empress’s command. Fine, I will tolerate John on this assignment. When do we go?”

Everyone could see Natalia was not happy with this at all. She still hated John with a passion and had even considered having the man killed.

Then Alejandra said, “Later in the week, after Vivian and I have recovered. This is going to be a very extensive operation for us. The procedure will be lengthy for both of us as will be the recovery period so you have time to prepare, Natalia.”

Natalia replied, “I will be ready, your Royal Highness.”

Natalia briefly wondered what it would be like to become an actual woman. Not that it was her desire in any way, and she came close to being forced into it, totally against her will. Her girlfriend was doing it as was the royal princess here. She wondered what it was like for them.

The Princess scooted beside Vivian and held her tightly. The Princess said gently, “Vivian, it took a lot of courage to do what you have done for us. It also took a lot of courage for you, Natalia. You two have shown you are very strong to have done what you did. Natalia, despite what you think, you really proved you are indeed a very strong man to have accomplished what you did. Being Natalia for us does not mean you aren’t a strong man. That shows your strength and your determination.”

Natalia shook her head, “How can you say that after all I have dealt with? I was totally broken. I submitted to the Baron and let him dominate me. I broke and became his submissive wife and passively allowed him to have his way with me in any way he desired. I have struggled to put myself back together and now look at me. I do not feel like a man at all. I was totally a submissive broken woman for him for so long. I don’t feel like a strong man. I submitted to the Baron as a woman and his wife.”

“Yes, look at you now,” said the Princess sternly. “You are the Baron now. You hold Anthony's power and have destroyed the Vargos family. And look at what you did. You were sold and could do nothing about what happened to you, but you struggled to maintain your masculinity against everything that they did, and you won.

"Then you went home and fought for your inheritance and punished those who sold you away. And you weren't done yet. You stood there in court, recounting everything you went through, the feminization, the brutalization by the Baron and the sex he forced you through. You had the members of your family sent to prison for life.

"And even then you weren't done. You contacted Congressional people, and got yourself in a position to testify in front of the United States Congress. You stood there in front of all of those people and, on national television, stood up to those questioning you who were trying to discredit you and totally recounted what you endured in Aragon. You described your marriage to the Baron, the feminization in detail, and the sexual stuff in a lot of detail all in front of them showing no fear or humiliation. You broke down a few times, but you stayed strong. You may think you failed there as they did not break their alliance with Aragon. But you succeeded in causing many to question their obligations to Aragon and made it impossible to pass any resolution to defend Aragon anymore. You did destroy them. You and Vivian are the ones that enabled us to strike at Aragon now, while the United States stood by and watched it all happen. That’s all thanks to you and Vivian. You proved yourself a real man that shows no fear. So thank you for making this all possible. You alone simply weren't important enough to many of the really powerful congresspeople to really effect breaking the alliance. But you succeeded in causing them to be deadlocked and unable to act. But, we will succeed this time when Richard Stone demands it. They will not ignore the wishes of their most important military contractor, equal to Northrop, Lockheed, and Boeing. The United States will totally abandon Aragon this time. They will have no choice now. You are a strong man we respect, and as a woman, you are a nightmare to those who hurt you. As the Vargos Family found out.”

And then the Princess told Vivian, “It’s now time to go. You are about to become the strong woman you were always meant to be, Vivian.”

“Yes, it’s finally time,” Vivian said with such a brilliant smile of pure joy and followed her people to the limo with the Princess’s escort. They headed off to the hospital and made their way to the surgical department. The nurses were there to escort her to her room. Of course, there was no wait to get a room. The Princess and the Empress herself expressed an interest in making this as quickly as possible.

Vivian answered loads of questions about her history, her family, and school when she arrived at her room with Natalia holding her hand. They asked her about everything and she filled out countless forms. Then they drew a lot of blood from her, and took hair samples, skin, looked into her eyes, and even swabbed her mouth. By that time, it was close to midnight and she simply lay down as Natalia sat nearby while machines infused her with some sort of pink liquid. She eventually fell asleep with Natalia holding her.

Vivian woke up early the next morning as her infuser was reloaded with more of the pinkish liquid and some other stuff was added.

She just laid there watching the clock count down to the end of her masculinity. It was good that it did not mean much to her anymore.

Natalia described her experience at a gender transformation clinic as a horror. Natalia was sent to a gender transformation clinic by a court order. A judge ruled for Martin to be forcibly changed. It was done to him because it was the Baron's last wish. Natalia described the hell and the force they used to try to get her to adapt and accept it. How the counselors punished her and did their best to convince her it was for the best. She said that was worse than what the Baron did and she became about as depressed as she ever was. They tormented and abused her relentlessly for resisting. Natalia said that if she had been forced to change then, she may have decided to end her life for real.

“I don’t doubt it, Natalia,” Vivian said sadly. “I have no doubt if the Baron's plan had succeeded and you were not rescued from the clinic, that you would be dead by your own hands now.

"This procedure was meant for people like me and the Princess,” Vivian said. “People who were born wrong and want it more than anything. It should not be forced on someone who is unwilling. People can't just decide the fate of someone else just because they think it is better for that person. A man like you can't be forced to change. You are not actually a woman. You choose to wear the clothes and the name, and pronouns. But forcing you to have your physical body changed to female simply because a cruel man wishes you to be, is unimaginable cruelty. I am sure it would have destroyed you.

“It had happened to several boys in the United States during the nineteen seventies with horrifyingly tragic results. Some families thought their boys would be happier living as girls. Those boy's lives consisted of horrifying depression and sadness and they eventually committed suicide as adults.”

"These morons here think they know better but they don’t. We are here to teach them differently. What they have done to men like you is a horrible injustice. I will help you recover from what you suffered here."

Vivian had made the appointment herself, scheduled the procedures, and asked for it to be done. She demanded this transformation. It’s what she dreamed of since she was young. It was totally different from Natalia's experience who was ordered to by some moron of a judge who didn’t care how it would affect her. All the judge cared about was Natalia's dead husband's wishes to transform Martin against his will. And somehow that judge thought it was best for her and she could somehow adapt to it after her body was changed against her will. What happened to her boyfriend angered her so much that she fought to calm down. Natalia had finally fallen asleep beside her.

Vivian peacefully laid there counting down the time until she would be taken in and transformed. All of her own free will.

The time for the preparations for the operation had finally come and nurses came in and pushed her gurney down the hall and into the surgical wing. Natalia had to wait in the waiting room now. He was told it would be about forty-eight hours. He could not accompany Vivian any further.

Vivian was taken to the preparation area where she was washed down and her body disinfected. She was dressed in a surgical gown to wear during the lengthy procedure. More blood was taken and she was asked more questions. Then the time finally came and she was pushed into the operating room.

Vivian was hooked up to other machines that began the injections. The last thing that was done was to connect her to a machine that controlled anesthesia and she felt herself slowly pass out. Vivian smiled and couldn’t have been happier at knowing the end of her cursed masculinity had finally arrived.

The Princess had made an appointment for an operation for the next day, but hers was going to be much more extensive than Vivian's had been.

She sat in her hospital room really thinking about her friend Vivian and was so happy she was finally getting her greatest wish. Vivian was going to be greatly surprised that this was going to be at no cost to her or her family. The Empress and the Empire were going to pay for it all. That was their gift to the great archduchess of Aragon.

The Princess looked up and saw the dark face of her Sister Elsa, directly above her. The princess was startled and nearly jumped out of her hospital bed.

“You were going to scheduled something this big and not tell me about it, sister?” Elsa said with a frighteningly dark smile. Those creepy evil smiles that terrified others had no effect on the Princess. The Princess smiled back at her sister.

“I am sorry, Elsa,” the Princess replied. “I thought I gave you a message this week about my scheduled procedure. But since Vivian is going through her own operation, I thought that I might as well get it done myself. We know I want to become a woman. I love being a princess.”

“This is the Duke's doing,” Elsa said with a smirk. “You had him order it and schedule it all. It will look like it’s his responsibility. That he forced it on his wife. That was very good and our people will accept you now as their princess. They will want the Duke dead for this, but it is still very clever, Sister.”

“Sister, I wanted to ask you something seriously. I have serious concerns about Natalia that I want to discuss privately.”

Elsa looked very confused and said, ”You are concerned with Natalia? You were the one who suggested accepting her into the Shadow Corps. You pushed me to appoint her as Baron. I would think you would be impressed and very happy with the effort she puts into maintaining the illusion that she is a woman. You should be very happy with the acceptance she has gained and what she has done for us. What concerns can you possibly have for her? This was your idea Sister and I am extremely satisfied with what she has done.”

“When he first approached me, and I suggested accepting him as a cadet for the Shadow Corps. I really did not have much faith in him, or the plan. But, Martin was so confident and told me he would do what was required. I explained what it would require of him and he accepted. I knew what kind of man Martin was and how he felt about women, and how he treated women. I had zero faith that it would work. I was shocked at his ability to become a woman and stayed that way through her entire boot camp and training for the Shadow Corps. that the women she trained with didn’t even know. She started going by the name Natalia and seamlessly integrated into the female structure and they accepted her. And I am impressed with her change and everything that she did for us. But I still have serious concerns.”

“What are your concerns, Alejandra?” Elsa asked seriously. “What concerns can you possibly have concerning Martin?”

“That this is all an act,” replied the princess. “Natalia is just a name he goes by for acceptance in the Shadow Corps. He is not actually a woman in any way. And does not desire to become a woman. He dresses and acts like a woman so seamlessly. But he has no desire to really transition.”

“That is of no concern to me, Alejandra,” Elsa said. “Martin is not actually a woman. But the fact that he is willing to go through such extreme effort to become Natalia and be accepted by the women he leads, and the command structure accepts him. It shows his dedication and he has helped rescue so many women and punished those who abuse women. Natalia is nothing like Martin. I am sure when this is over, she will revert back to Martin but he won’t be the man he was. He will be much more understanding and compassionate toward women. I seriously don’t think this is an act. Martin does care for women and is willing to go through this effort to help women. He is undoubtedly loyal to us. There is nothing to be concerned with."

Vivian woke slowly and awareness worked its way to her thoughts. The first thing she noticed was that she felt very tired and weak. She wasn’t sore or in pain, but she felt totally exhausted. She had been told that she would feel this way after the procedure. So much was done to her that it would take around a day to recover. She needed a lot of rest after what was done to her.

She moved her legs over to the side of the bed in an effort to stand up. The nurse who had been monitoring her recovery rushed over and helped her to the bathroom. Vivian saw the mirror over the washbasin and had to examine what had been done to her.

Vivian stood in front of the mirror looking at her new body. She ran her hands down from her neck to the enormous swell of her new DD cup breasts she had insisted on. She cupped both of them and squeezed them and felt a surge of pleasure race through her entire body. She pinched the nipples and the feeling nearly made her collapse. They were sensitive as hell. Then she ran her hand down to her narrow waist and down to the large swell of her hips and buttocks. She did have the form of a woman; it was exactly what she asked for and paid for. But she already had that for years. But her feminine shape was much more pronounced now.

Vivian ran her soft hands down her body from her narrow waist to the swell of her hips and on to her new crotch. She slowly examined her new vagina gently feeling her new labia lips. They were extremely sensitive to the touch and she felt waves of arousal smashing into her that nearly caused her knees to collapse. She peeled apart the labia and found the small bud of skin and gently touched it and an even more powerful wave of arousal crashed into her that required her nurse to hold her up. That must be her clitoris. She was even more exhausted by now and went to lie down.

The nurse asked her in a caring soft voice, “How are you doing, Ms. Knox.”

Vivian looked over and saw her doctor there sitting beside her nurse. Vivian smiled in pure joy and replied with a smile, “I'm happier than I have ever been. Thank you all so much. I was shocked at how it all felt and my new vagina almost caused me to collapse at the feeling.”

“Vaginas tend to get very aroused when they are rubbed and explored. Have you been playing with yourself?” The doctor giggled.

“No,” Vivian said with a red face. “I just didn’t expect it. I was examining it. This is so great. I love this.”

“Doctor, can you try to explain what you did, I am thankful and not angry at all. I just want to know how this is all possible?”

“We did some genetic reconstruction and reprogramming on you. You wanted to become a woman with full reproductive organs. You have a fully functioning vagina, breasts that will be able to lactate and produce milk when needed. You have a fully functioning set of ovaries and a uterus. You will also be able to get pregnant and give birth naturally as a woman, Vivian. You will also have to deal with a monthly menstrual cycle.

"What we did was to reprogram and restructure your genetic code. You still have a Y chromosome but we introduced new instructions into it that instigated the growth of new internal organs and restructured your body as female. We also caused it to be accelerated and it all happened in little over a day. That is why you are so exhausted now. You have gone through a lot, Ms. Knox. It’s the same procedure that was ordered for the Princess.”

“So you reprogrammed my entire body to grow as a woman?” Vivian asked, totally amazed that such things were possible.

The Doctor replied, “Yes, it was what you really wanted, wasn't it?” The doctor replied.

“Yes, and I could not be happier. I am just amazed that this is possible.”

“The procedure was very successful and I am glad you are happy with the results. Your boyfriend will be able to visit you shortly. But you seriously need to rest.”

“I want to ask you a question, Doctor,” Vivian said seriously.

“Go on,” the doctor said.

“It's about my boyfriend she is Natalia now. But her name used to be Martin, but for a time, you all called her Marcia. I know you know who he is. Doctor, three years ago, Martin was signed into a marriage with Baron Anthony Vargos against his wishes and renamed Marcia. Baron Vargos ordered that Marcia be forcibly transformed into a woman, against her will. Marcia’s husband ordered it done. You would have performed it whether he liked it or not, wouldn’t you have?”

“Yes, it would have been Anthony’s right to order it,” the doctor replied. “I would have performed it for him.”

“You did this to others, didn’t you?”

“Some others. Yes, Ms. Knox. Where is this going?” The doctor asked.

“About three to four years ago, do you remember performing a simple breast enhancement on an unwilling male named John Hastings?”

The doctor remembered that. How could she ever forget? That male was protesting and screaming out of desperation to not do this to him. But it was ordered for her and her husband had that right.

She nodded, “Yes, I remember it very well.”

“Natalia told me about it,” Vivian said. “Natalia told me John was desperate, he was screaming no as you all put him under. It was all done to destroy his spirit and worked very well.” Vivian said hotly.

The doctor looked unsure and replied, “I am sorry, Natalia?”

“Natalia, yes, that is the name Martin uses now. She won’t go by the name her cruel abusive husband chose. She won’t be Marcia.”

Now the doctor understood. And Vivian was clearly very hostile and angry and the doctor didn’t quite know what to do. “It was ordered for him by his husband who had that right as per the laws in the marriage he was placed in. I was only doing as ordered.”

Vivian laughed bitterly. “Seems that’s all you all know how to do. You follow orders without questioning the ethics of performing such procedures against someone's will or even asking or caring. There’s going to be consequences for it.”

“It’s the husband’s right, I am only following it by doing as he requested,” the doctor protested. “There can be no consequences for it.” She knew the kind of power Vivian wielded. She knew this was no idle threat.

“Oh yes there can be. You are clearly a very unethical doctor who cares nothing for a person's free will. So, you perform the procedure on the Princess. She wants it more than anything and that will be your final job in this field. You are fired after that and your license, and doctor's education, diplomas and credentials will be revoked. You are done after that.”

“You can’t do that,” the doctor protested.

Vivian laughed, “Yes I can. I am the archduchess of Aragon. I can do that and it will be done.”

“I will speak to the Princess about this,” the doctor threatened.

“The Princess and I are in agreement. I just watched her execute a dog of a husband who had such procedures done on an unwilling woman and abused her for years. Ifyou think she will back someone like you up against me, think again.”

“I had no choice in this, the husband had the rights and I had to do it. He had the right to order these things,” the doctor protested desperately. “And if I refused, I would have been fired and someone else would have done it.”

“You may be right,” Vivian agreed. “But you would have been ethical and rewarded. And I would be punishing someone else instead of you. But you performed those unwilling operations just like Josef Mengele did on prisoners against their will. So you have to answer for what you did. DR. Now leave and prepare to do the procedure on the Princess. Leave me alone.”

Vivian was left alone, the doctor walked out very unhappy and nearly in tears at the loss of her career.

Vivian finally felt happy. She laid there with a brilliant smile on her face feeling more joy than she ever felt before. She was now finally a woman. It was what she was meant to be all along. Vivian could not be happier.

At least now, the women in Castile could have no more problems dealing with her. She was a woman just like them, they could not complain about the power she wielded anymore. That problem was solved and the Empress should be very happy.

There were several other problems that needed to be dealt with. She had completely changed into a woman. That change in her identity would pose several serious problems with her leadership of Knox Enterprises, her assets in the United States, and her accounts there. Many very serious problems would need to be dealt with. There was no longer a Victor. Luckily, she was headed to the United States in several days so she would have to legally establish her change of sex and Identity to allow her to continue to have access to her assets and wealth and her leadership of Knox Enterprises. She was now Vivian.

Could she really convince anyone that she was Victor now or would they suspect fraud when she revealed herself to her attorneys in the United States to start the legal process? She had been living and being accepted as a woman named Vivian for some time so that should not be too difficult to do. She would be meeting them within a few days.

Vivian made some calls to her attorneys in New York to inform them that she was coming and to set up a meeting. And to inform them of her change in identity to female now. She had SRS and transitioned into a female. They questioned her about it but she firmly established that she was indeed the former Victor Knox, CEO of Knox Enterprises. They finally accepted her and set up the meeting and would begin the legal process of her change of identity and sex.

Her thoughts turned to her mission, she was going on to meet Richard Stone. Many other victims were coming with them to convince him of what this was about. Carol was coming, Valentina, formally Antonio, Natalia was coming with them. They would also meet John when they arrived in New York. She hoped that her boyfriend Martin could hold it together.

She knew Natalia dreaded meeting John again. Natalia hated John. John had finally lost all of his female attributes and was totally living as a dominant man again, as Natalia was living a more submissive life with Vivian. John might have a lot of fun with this. But Natalia was never really John’s enemy. She had not done anything to John until John started abusing her. Her only fault in John’s eyes was being the son of George, the man who abused her.

Of course, John didn’t know that George had also abused Natalia. Being George’s son was hell for Natalia. Especially because her mother had cheated on George and she really wasn't George’s son. That made George very angry and George often took his anger out on Natalia. George insisted that Natalia’s mother often dress her up as a girl and force her into girls' schools to live life as a girl. John didn’t know any of this at the time and that abusing Natalia was exactly what George wanted. George signed Natalia into this marriage to destroy her once and for all. It all failed. Natalia maintained her status and got justice on those that betrayed her.

Natalia entered Vivian’s recovery room hours later and sat down beside her girlfriend, holding her hand tightly in his. She leaned over and whispered, “You are so beautiful, Vivian. You are more beautiful than ever.”

“Thank you, Natalia,” she replied gazing into her eyes and they simply held each other for the next several hours.

When it was about time for Natalia to leave for the night, she looked over at Vivian with a serious look on her face and asked, “As a Baron, that makes me an official member of your government, doesn’t it? I am a government official from Castile, aren’t I?”

“Yes, Indeed. And it is unusual for a male to hold this kind of power, but I insisted and supported you. So does the Empress. We know what you have gone through,” Vivian replied. “So what is this about?”

“It’s about our trip to the United States. That means as a member of your government, I will be protected as a foreign government official, won't I?”

She began to get suspicious, “Yes, you will be protected. They won't be able to touch you no matter what you do. But, Natalia, what is this about, what are you planning?”

They spoke for about another hour and Vivian agreed to help Martin. “You will be protected by our government. They won't be able to do a thing to you except expel you from the United States. If this works with Richard Stone, then there will be no reprisals against our country. Just like there were no reprisals against Aragon for what they did to you."
