Arpious of the Planes

Chapter 226 Nether Stone (1)

"That was Dorna who said that, plus it wouldn't even have mattered as you did multiple annoying and rebellious things afterward," Elisa says, shooting a slight smirk at me, which was clearly to taunt me.

tsk

"*sigh*... Arpious, you know what that means, right?"

"P-punishment?"

"Indeed,"

Well... I guess I just need to survive and not lose myself... I have to keep my dignity, at least somehow...

"Come here," The queen says while gesturing with her hand.

Regretfully, I walk over to her while still in front of every knight in the room. She then lifts her hand and dips three fingers into a jar of a clear liquid that gave off a pleasant scent.

"Lick," The queen orders coldly, and I had slight deja vu when I saw Aika do this to one of her new necromantic summons.

"The same punishment as before?" I ask as I thought she would've gone with something more physical after seeing how many times I pissed her off.

"Nope, it isn't the same punishment as before, but it is similar," The queen says coldly while walking up to me and trailing her three fingers up my body and onto my lips.

"Can we not do this in front of everybody-"

Suddenly, I was cut off by three fingers entering my mouth, and I had a quickly made plan ready, so I proceeded with it.

"Lick it," The queen says, and it felt like she grew to double her size… or maybe I just shrunk?

I began to follow her order, wrapping my tongue around her fingers but also not trying to swallow any of it and letting it slide out the corner of my mouth.

This was a bit harder than I thought, but as the liquid was almost invisible, nobody noticed it leaking from the side of my mouth.

Isn't this how people avoid drinking things they believe are poisoned?

A hand was suddenly placed on top of my head, and I was pushed down somehow even though I was standing normally and felt none of the effects from the aphrodisiac.

My strength was much more than the queen as well, so this shouldn't have been possible.

"What is this leaking out the side of your mouth?" The queen asks me, making me jolt in shock.

"W-what are you talking about-"

"Shut up," The queen's cold voice interrupts me while taking her fingers out and dipping her fingers in the jar of clear liquid once again.

Shifting my eyes to the right of me, I saw Elisa and Dorna with a smirk that clearly looked down on me.

Ah… I see what they did. They definitely put something in that jar of green liquid, but it was such a small amount that it was unnoticeable by the system.

And the reason why I didn't detect a lie from Elisa was that it isn't poison but probably another type of drug that induces a numbing effect which you could classify as medicine.

That's pretty smart… plus, my godly immunity would've taken care of the poison anyway, so at that moment, I didn't see any problem in drinking it.

Well, at least I learned not every harmful drug is a poison which means I have to be much warier in the future.

I wouldn't call this stupidity or naivety but more like testing the waters… as that's all I've been doing ever since I got here.

"Would you rather lick it from my fingers or drink it from the jar?" The queen asks.

"Drink it, definitely drink it," I respond instantly.

I'd rather not lick it from her fingers as it feels kinda weird… so definitely drinking it. But the problem is how much I'm supposed to drink.

"How much?"

"All of it,"

p "Are you trying to kill me?"

The queen doesn't respond and glares at me while handing me the small jar of liquid.

It had about a cup of clear liquid, but even that seemed like too much, judging from how bad of a reaction I got yesterday.

"Fine," I say, trying to stand up but fail miserably before downing the entire jar.

The reaction was almost instant, and I felt my mind go numb instantly. My legs were limp, and the only thing that I could sort of move were my arms and fingers.

My breathing began to become heavy, and my face flushed a bright red almost instantly.

The eyes of every knight in the room made my skin crawl, but it didn't last long as the queen tugged me up and forced me to follow her out of the training room.

We walked through the halls as I followed her limply, and my mind getting even number.

...

Creeeeeeek

We arrived at a large room with a massive bed in the middle, and surrounding the edges of the room were maids bowing deeply while greeting the queen.

"I'm gonna change so help this girl change out of her clothes and put her in a nightgown or something. After that, lock her up there," The queen says, pointing to the corner of the room where I saw 4 chains with cuffs around the end.

Bridget was already there and sleeping in one of the 2/4 of cuffs, with her arms raised limply above her head.

Tup Tup Tup

The maids moved immediately, helping me change out of my light armor, and instantly put on a beautiful black nightgown before chaining my arms to the wall with the remaining two chains.

This was only in a matter of minutes before I saw the queen come out of what seemed to be a bathing room.

She was completely naked, and due to my hazy mind, I got turned on even more, causing me to start breathing even heavier than before.

It was like a cloud was in my mind, but it got thicker and thicker with every passing second.

"My lady, please help," I beg as soon as our eyes met.

She was currently changing and observing me as I struggled to try and relieve myself with just my legs.

Her eyes just turned away from me before laying on her bed and going to sleep. The maids also closed the curtains around her bed, making me slightly whimper.

The maids left the bedroom without even batting me an eye as I struggled on the ground.

At that moment, I immediately thought this was worse than torture as I subconsciously began to beg for my wives to save me… until…

'Damn, how are you letting her do this to you,' I hear a voice ring inside my head.

It sounded exactly like my current voice, causing me to jolt up and mutter instantly.

"Inner demon, you bastard… save me,"

'Kekekekeke,'

Stop it with that creepy fucking laugh and do something, asshole. I'm gonna die.

'You're not going to die. Just keep your mind from going berserk, and you should get the resistance anytime soon now,'

[Gained the following skill]

[Aphrodasiac Resistance]

[Aphrodasiac Resistance has leveled up]

[Aphrodasiac Resistance has leveled up]

'Damn, only 2 levels… well, I guess that should do, for now, feeling any better?' My inner demon asked, but I didn't have the strength to respond.

Even my thoughts were a blur until I noticed the carpet below me was soaked.

Embarrassing.

'Damn straight, that's embarrassing, now follow my orders so we can get the Nether Stone,' My inner demon says, almost like she was in a panic.

Which one are you?

'Isn't it pretty obvious?'

Nah… uhhhhhh… I can't right now. Just let me rest.

'I'm lust idiot anyway we need to get the Nether Stone now. It's literally right in that box on top of her nightstand, you, idiot,'

Oh yeah… that is the same box…

'Come on, come on!'

Damn, stop shouting!

'Then hurry the hell up!'

Why are you in such a rush? It's not like it's disappearing anytime soon, plus this aphrodisiac is still in effect, so my body is practically immovable.

'*sigh*...You are more than capable of kicking the chains and breaking them. It's not like before when they were restrained,'

Makes sense… I wasn't able to rip them off the ceiling and floor before, but I should be able to break them with my overwhelming stats.

BAM

A loud cracking sound resounded through the room, and when I looked up, I saw my chains crumble to pieces as I felt a heavy feeling lift from my body.

The sound of me breaking the chains was pretty loud, so I immediately tried to check up on the status of the queen.

I immediately stumbled to the ground as the effects of the aphrodisiac practically raged through my body without much resistance.

Even if I got resistance, it already worked its way through my body, so of course, it wouldn't tone down instantly.

'Need help? I'm pretty experienced, with my fingers,'

I'm good… plus, you talk like a creepy older man, so I don't want you taking over my body like last time… isn't that what you did.

'Pretty smart girl,'

I slammed my hand on the floor and dragged myself to the nightstand while gritting my teeth.

'Oh, it seems you're getting a bit more aware, so I'm about to fade out. Just make sure to absorb that Nether Stone without hesitation,' My inner demon says before disappearing completely.

It felt like somebody cut a telephone line inside my head.
