Arpious of the Planes

Chapter 59 Yin (2)

[Day 25]

"It's been about 24 hours now hasn't it," I say watching the sunset with Kumo.

I just finished coming back from a date with Kumo. Most of my kingdom was rebuilt overnight which allowed this to happen.

We did the same thing that I did with my other wives. Go to the same restaurant for breakfast and introduce the waitress to Kumo. I also learned her name today which was Mia, of course, I also did the one obsidian coin tip which drew out a lot of jealousy from the other waiters and waitresses.

She was very relaxed today like she was just a friend. She also invited me over to her new house which she got built. She had it custom made by Akio and his team because she had the money to afford it… which of course was from me.

I accepted her invitation as we continued through our day. First Kumo bought some new clothes and I also checked on my custom-made sets. Aimi was halfway done through the first set but she was also paranoid about the second set.

I asked her what was wrong and she said while looking down embarrassed.

"W-what are sneakers and what is a sweatshirt,"

"Eh,"

I took a piece of leather that had drawings on it from Aimi's desk and drew the design of both items. She apologized profusely for not knowing what it is which I told her that she shouldn't apologize for something she wasn't aware of.

We left the shop and checked on Aiso who was 3/4 of the way finished for my scythe and the rest of the pair rings were done. Kumos had a new gem on top which was purplish pink.

[Ore - Amethyst]

[An extremely rare gem only found in monsters. These can only be collected by an enchanter or enchantress while using a special enchant. Also, this ore is the equivalent of 1000 obsidian coins in a kingdom.]

So… There are other kingdoms and they use obsidian coins as part of their currency system. This saves me some time of pondering whether it would be safe to leave the [Mountain of Twilight].

[Equipment - Purple Ring of Twilight]

[+10 Strength (+5) (+10)]

[+10 Speed (+5) (+10)]

[+10 Magic (+5) (+10)]

[Enchants: [Haste] [Boost] [Empower] [Larger Presence] [Greater Mana Flow]

…

"My queen, you don't worry about the enchants, I got Ava to do it already," Aiso said.

"Thanks," I say while looking for something else.

Looking around I couldn't see the mask that I asked for which Also said that the mask for my assassin corps was still a work in progress but I didn't mind since I haven't even put it together yet.

Taking our leave we made our way to the jewelry shop run by Ava. Kumo was excited because she's only heard of them in stories. While she wasn't like a kid in a candy shop while in the clothing store, she is now while in the jewelry store.

I and Ava talked for a while until Kumo finally came to the counter with 10 pieces of jewelry.

I forgot to tell her that there is a limit, but… she looks so excited so I guess I'll buy all of it just this one time.

Paying for the jewelry we made our way out of the store and to the top of my castle where I watched the sunset with Aika. Sitting down we arrived just in time as the sun was starting to set. I leaned my head on Kumos shoulder as I slipped both rings on our fingers.

I decided to move the Aikas ring to my right-hand thumb and put this new ring on my pointer finger.

We enjoyed ourselves while still laying on the grass and once we were both satisfied I remembered Yin.

"It's been about 24 hours now hasn't it," I say watching the sunset with Kumo.

"You have to leave?" Kumo asks.

"Yeah, I remembered I left Yin in a punishment so I have to go take her out now,"

"What did Ina do wrong?" Kumo asks, feeling bad for Yin.

"She was thinking of killing me while I was in my weakened state and also dared to slap Aika's hand away when she was trying to help her," I said, frowning.

"Well, I guess she deserves to get punished then,"

"Isn't Yin you're friend? Shouldn't you be trying to stop me?" I ask, slightly confused by Kumo.

"Well as long as she is a good girl... Oh yeah, I should inform you about this now," Kumo says.

"What?"

"Ina has always had an obsession with being a "good girl". She liked it when people called her that, even after she became a queen. She abused her power to get some crawlers to call her "good girl" which I found extremely strange. I'm assuming it has something to do with the previous queen calling her "good girl". Well, that's only an assumption I don't know if that happened," Kumo said.

"I see… maybe I could use this…"

…

Opening the doors to the pitch-black room I trapped Yin in for 24 hours, I saw her curled up in a ball in the corner of the room with eyes that had been dried of tears. Her eyes weren't that of dead fish but just slightly red and puffy from crying so much.

"Yin, are you awake," I say, knocking on the metal door which produced no noise.

"M-my queen is it time to leave," Yin says lifting her head.

"Yes, but before that I want you to prove your loyalty to me and I will tell you something that will make you stay by my side. It's not like I'm scared of getting killed by you, but it will be annoying if you're always fake," I say.

"I-I swear I won't, I-I'll be a good girl, I swear," Kumo says, crawling towards me and wrapping her arms around my legs with a weary smile.

"Don't touch me" I say, glaring down at her.

"I-I'm sorry," Yin says, shrinking back.

"You are my slave right now but you have more power than when you were a queen. What could you get when you were the queen of berserk crawlers, food, water, fake loyalty! As my slave, you can buy anything and have anything as long as you follow my orders and do nothing stupid.

This leads me to the next topic, I will promote you to my pet. With this, you have a higher status than most citizens in my kingdom. All you have to do is follow my orders no matter what they are, support every one of my wives no matter what they say, and… then you can be… a good girl," I say with a sadistic grin forming.

"R-really, I can be a good girl if I'm your pet?" Yin asks with light returning to her eyes.

"Yes, I'll even pet you and allow my wives to pet you if you're a good girl," I say with my widening grin.

"I-I want to be a good girl!" Yin says excitedly.

"Then follow me, okay?" I ask.

"Yes, my queen!" Yin says standing up immediately getting kind of jumpy.

"Call me 'Master',"

"Yes, master!" Yin says correcting herself.

"Good girl," I say walking up to her and petting her head.

Her face instantly melts with happiness as she was not only called a "good girl" but given an award for the first time after working under me.

[Congratulations your slave [Yin] has now been promoted to pet]

Removing my hand from her head she slightly pouted as she wanted it to last a bit longer. I told her that we can continue her reward later if she tells me about the assassin corps I told her to put together.

"T-then can you pet me in the throne room?" Yin says with puppy dog eyes.

"Maybe it depends how much progress you've made,"

"YAY!" Yin says jumping up and down.

"Hurry up," I say firmly.

"I-I'm sorry. S-so I have managed to recruit 14 members as of now that is almost as good as me with [Shadow Control]. I managed to find them on the streets as all of them were left to die on the streets by their parents. When they were dumped onto the streets they scavenged through the alleyways in between stores and houses trying to find food, but eventually, they started to feel a connection with the shadows around them. Some were already able to control them to a high degree but some were very basic, just able to make one blade," Yin says.

"Good girl, introduce them to me later since I want to put them through a Venom Jar to get the best of the best. For now, let's introduce this new pet to my wives now," I say.

"Yes, master!" Yin says jumping up and down because of my praise.

Leaving the room, I called out to one of the maids to gather my wives at the throne room and tell them that I sent her. While my wives were being called I brought Yin to the changing room where I ordered her to change into just underwear and a bra. Her panties were dark red as was her bra which I tied for her. There was also her reddish vale from before that was like a see-through nightgown that went down to her thighs.

She was slightly embarrassed because we walked out of the changing room while she was still dressed like that but got excited as soon she saw the room we entered.

As we arrived at the throne room, I saw some minor improvements everywhere but nothing significant. Just some more greenery and it seems like they are trying to add windows in the throne room to get more natural light.

Sitting down on the throne, Yin waited at the bottom of the steps leading to my throne. Patting my lap, I gestured for her to lay down. Seeing this she walked up the stairs and then crawled onto my lap like a cat ready for a treat. Her belly was on my lap as I started to stroke from the top of her head to her butt.

She had a look of satisfaction on her face as I noticed my wives entered the room, confused why I was petting Yin.
