The sound of heels clicked against the newly refurbished gray and white marble below, but just as I was about to raise my head, a pair of black heels appeared before me.
"Lick," I hear a cold merciless voice say, one that I wouldn't forget.
My body shivered in fear, and just as I was about to raise my head once again, I felt something hard press down on the back of my neck, pushing my face into the floor.
"What did I say?"
Despite me almost begging for my mouth to move, only a squeak came out.
"Huh? Repeat it,"
Without myself even realizing it, I had entered a kowtow position with Mistress's heel pressing against the back of my head.
My face smothered into the floor, and even if I wanted to, I couldn't speak up. Even if Mistress removed her heel, I wouldn't be able to speak.
"And you… Come here,"
"M-me?" I hear the human, which I had restrained barely squeeze out.
"Yeah, who else,"
But just as he moved forward, his mouth suddenly opened, and blood poured from it. His eyes peeled back, and foam even began to rise from his throat after all the blood had poured out.
"Tch… Poison," I heard Mistress say, but I was confused.
I swear I checked his mouth for poison, but I didn't see anything. So the only possible clause is that he bit his tongue?
But as I couldn't turn my head, trying to conclude was impossible… Plus, I needed to focus on making Mistress less angry.
"Why the hell did you intercept their retreat?" Mistress asked, lifting her heel from the back of my head and lowering her bloodlust.
I didn't have any time to think, so I just answered with my honest thoughts.
"T-they were planning on attacking Mistress…,"
"They weren't,"
"But I heard th-"
Before I could finish my sentence, Mistress slammed her heel into the back of my neck where my collar was.
The pressure from her leg was enough to dent the collar and press my neck on the other side of it, causing me to choke.
I had no choice but to reach out my arms and cling for her other heel, begging for forgiveness.
"I-I'm sorry,"
"Arpious, that's enough. Stop taking your anger out on Yin," I hear a familiar voice say and decided to cling onto it as my only hope.
…
(Arpious POV)
"Arpious, that's enough. Stop taking your anger out on Yin," Homura says, entering the room.
It seems she's already figured it out… Multiple assassins have infiltrated the mountain and are spying on our every move.
"Ava, take your corps and wipe out the assassins. From what I can tell, you don't even need the rest of your corps to kill them but take them just in case," I say to Ava, who just appeared in front of me.
But just for extra insurance, I had Alexa join the group.
"Okay, now you can take your heel off Yin. Your source of anger will be gone in a few minutes…" Homura says, trying to ease me still.
"That's not the only thing I'm angry about but the fact that there are traitors within the kingdom. I heard this guy think about it," I respond, glaring at the corpse to the side of Yin.
[Grand Mind Magic] is a cheat…
"Really? Do you know who the traitors are?" Homura asks.
"Nope, but they'll reveal themselves soon," I mutter with a sadistic smile slowly growing on my face.
…
[Day 89]
I woke up in the morning in my nice and cozy onesie, which seemed to have attracted my wives towards me like a magnet.
"So soft," Aika mutters as she rubs her cheek against my arm.
After stroking Aika's hair for quite a while, I hopped out of bed and had an early breakfast. I even went on a morning hunt by myself, which was quite refreshing.
"Arpious, did you seriously go hunting in your onesie?" As I step back into the throne room, Kumo asks where I see my wives having an excellent breakfast together.
"Yeah… Do you think these stains will come out?" I respond to Kumo but then look at the maid beside me.
She had an expression that masked her overflowing annoyance as the amount of work she already had kept piling up… And I just added some more.
"*sigh*... If that is what Mistress wants," The maid responds, not even trying to hide her discontent.
"Sorry," I mutter, rubbing the back of my head.
I felt a bit bad for my maids, who worked hard all the time on top of the continuous stress of a chain made from seemingly endless wars.
"I'll make sure to give you all a break once the war is over," I respond, patting the maid on the back as I changed in the middle of the throne room into my casual set of clothes.
Oversized long-sleeved shirt, sweatpants, and some slides, which Aimi gifted me a few days prior.
"Oh yeah, my plan is almost complete! I'll tell you at lunch!" Kumo shouts with a wide smile.
How sly…
…
"So, what's the plan?" I ask Kumo before scarfing down a long tender piece of meat that my chefs had prepared for lunch.
"First-"
BAM
I knew it.
Kumo's strange shouting and raised tone from before were used as bait to try and lure any spies within our castle. It was very easy to fall for… And the proof was right in front of us.
A few maids were restrained by Kumo's large spider legs, which had sprouted from the walls, ceiling, and floor.
The other maids present immediately knew what happened and reached into their throats, pulling out small green pills used to commit suicide.
And just as the assassins tried to bite down on their tongues, Kumo intercepted their bite with spider legs that sprouted from the already existing long black spider legs.
"Can I do the torture?" I asked Kumo, who just shrugged nonchalantly.
I'll take that as a yes…
Slowly, I began to extract information from the now weak-willed spies as I had crushed any hopes and dreams of them escaping. And I made sure that was implanted directly into their minds.
"P-please kill me," The female human who was disguised as an elf begs.
To be honest, I immensely enjoyed this as the humans were beautiful, and tearing them apart only filled me with endorphins, granting me a natural high for my hard work.
"Wait, wait, wait… I wanted more pets… I wanted some which I could relieve some stress on… So I think you girls will do nicely… Also, how did you mask your human smell?" I asked one last question to the humans, who shivered in fear.
After my base senses had increased, I noticed that each race had a particular smell unique to them. But as it was very subtle, nobody would've smelled it, even with my godly senses from before I could barely notice it.
"W-we used a potion called the [Masking Potion]," One of the humans responds without any hesitation.
"Oh, where can I get one?"
"Y-you have to buy it from the Empire of Alchemy,"
"And where is that?"
"I-I don't know. I'M JUST A SPY! PLEASE HAVE MERCY!" The human shouts while her face begins to melt into agony.
Tuck
I stuck my fingernail into her thigh, producing another scream that made the other humans much more obedient.
"Is that it?" I ask, and to no surprise, the humans violently nodded their heads up and down.
Now that I have six more pets, I wanted to try something I thought of a few days ago. I originally intended to do it with Yin, Ava, and Alexa, but as they're perfect fighters, I didn't want to keep them in my castle forever.
"What's that smile for?" Kumo asks after seeing my almost childish eyes.
It looked as if I was a kid in a candy store or a kid who could obtain anything they desired with just the press of a button.
"We have dyed, right?" I ask the maid across from the room.
"Yes, Mistress… Would you like me to get some?" She responds.
After nodding my head, the maid bowed and left the room to obtain all the dye we had in the castle.
p
The humans didn't reply but just continued to shiver in fear.
Tup Tup Tup
"Oh, that was fast,"
Four maids came into the throne room, carrying wooden crates filled to the brim with liquidized dye.
"Now strip," I repeat once more but release my bloodlust this time, causing them to follow my orders immediately.
The humans in front of me were pretty beautiful. Hourglass-like figures and all of them had brownish-black hair after I washed the blond coloring away with [Grand Water Magic].
They seemed to be in their early twenties, but after I scared them so badly and caused so many injuries all over them, their age seemed to be in their mid-twenties now… Any more, and they'd look ten years older.
