The Legend of the ruthless Empress Freya

Chapter 28 Revenge Of The Slaves

-- POV Freya --

The door in front of me was armored and huge, but a single kick was enough to destroy it. As the light flooded the room, I could see hundreds of half-humans, beastmen and other races all held in a room lit only by candles.

Suddenly, a small, recognizable shape ran towards me, shouting.

"MOMMY !!!"

It was Shiro, she was there in good health and most importantly without a single injury.

[Thank God she's okay !!!]

*Yes she's fine !!!*

I was happy and relieved as I bent down to hug her gently. She didn't seem to be scared which made me have a lot of questions but for now I had to get her out of here.

-- PING --

[Due to the host's attachment to the individual named Shiro, she was added to the system as the host's daughter. Congratulations your family is growing ! ]

[ Get 100 citizens/subordinates ready to live in your future Kingdom to unlock the "Kingdom" menu and the many possibilities that come with it. ]

As I held her in my arms, an unexpected notification appeared before my eyes. I didn't know that a Kingdom menu existed which made me believe that the system was adapting to my actions and that the possibilities were endless.

*So many things to check out once this story is over.*

I had had quite a few changes since I arrived in this mansion, I guess it wasn't all negative. I would have to have a long talk with Gaya when I got home and Shiro to explain what I had explained to Gaya earlier. The important thing now was to get her out of there, but I couldn't leave all those slaves.

So I decided to walk towards the one who was standing next to my daughter a few moments ago. He was a head taller than me and had a bull's head, he was a strong and sturdy minotaur slave.

"Are you the one who protected my daughter ?"

"I..."

He apparently couldn't look me in the eye or speak, which made the situation quite special considering he had the build of a warrior.

[Yorr

Race : Minotaur

Element : x

Speed : 30 ]

The minotaur named Yorr had no special skills and was rather weak which made sense to me since he had managed to get himself locked up by the weak humans of this weak city. I didn't like to repeat myself but I wanted my answer.

"Are you the one who protected my daughter or not ?"

"I..no I didn't do anything in particular."

Squinting at his very evasive answer, I could see out of the corner of my eye that the other slaves who had come to their senses were coming towards me.

"Thank you, thank you for helping us !"

"I don't know who you are but thank you from the bottom of my heart !"

"Thank you! Thanks to you my family will be able to live !"

[You saved all those people onee-san !]

The women and children were crying with joy while the men were relieved and moved to finally be free. Yorr who had also regained his senses spoke.

"Excuse me but...could I know your name ?"

"Freya."

"On behalf of everyone here I thank you once again Freya-sama !"

The slaves in the room looked at me with complete respect and admiration before they all bowed their heads in unison. To be honest I was glad to be able to free them in passing, but I had only come for Shiro. While I was thinking about what to do next, Yorr spoke again.

"I want you to know that you can be proud of your daughter Freya-sama."

*Mmh ? My little moon ? Why ?*

"When we were all desperate for help, she came to me without a tear on her face and confidently told me that you would come to save her and that we didn't have to worry. To tell you the truth I didn't believe her at all and I even thought she was clinging to a vain hope.."

Shiro's blind trust melted my heart, but I was also worried. If one day I found myself unable to help her, what would she think of me ?

[Onee-san you don't have to worry, you will have plenty of time to make her stronger. For now, you can protect her without any problem, you just have to be more careful].

Kira always had the words to dispel my doubts.

*Thank you little sister.*

As I looked at Shiro with a smile, I realized that we were still in this room. Walking towards the exit I turned to the men, women and children who were following me to warn them.

"What is in this room is not a pretty sight, if possible keep the children from looking, those who are sensitive go out into the hallway and those with a strong heart follow me!"

Without question, everyone did as I asked. Women, men and children had gathered to form a group and some men stood in front of me with a few women ready to follow.

As we walked out, I pulled Shiro's head closer into my chest before whispering to her.

"Shiro sweetie, don't look okay ? I had to deal with the bad humans and I'm sure you don't want to see this."

"Yes mom I won't look I promise !"

[Awww little Shiro !! Onee-san give me your daughter !]

*Pfffhahaha ~ isn't she adorable? And then you can always dream my poor one.*

It was our way of releasing the pressure because all this time I had been worried about Shiro but I knew that Kira had been worried as well.

The room was still covered with blood, human and half-human bodies and my ice prison still sat in the middle.

"Those who can't stay in the room wait in the hallway, no one should be able to get up here for a while. When we're done here, I'll find a way to get you all out."

Turning to Shiro I said.

"Shiro, you need to join the others, the bad man needs to be punished and you are too small to stay."

"Okay mom but please hurry.."

She seemed a little sad but knew it was important. Despite her young age, she was more mature than any other child and the thought of her ever throwing a tantrum seemed remote if not non-existent. Entrusting my daughter to a half-human cat, I motioned for the others to go. The more sensible former slaves nodded as they walked through the door I had kicked down a short while ago, disappearing into the hallway.

"Good !"

-- POV Yorr --

Freya-sama entrusted her daughter to another woman so that she couldn't see what was going to happen. She was tender and gentle with little Shiro and I understood why she loved her mother and thought she was kind.

However, it was not difficult to understand that she was the only one who received this treatment, for us she did not seem nice but rather imposing, dominant and cold. We all knew that she wasn't going to hurt us and we weren't afraid of her in a bad way but the fact is that Freya-sama was colossally powerful.

"Good !"

The young woman walked towards us as her attitude changed drastically. The gentle and loving person had given way to a cold and domineering person. Seeing this change, everyone in the room shuddered at this being who could kill us with a single touch.

"Within these four walls is the lord of the city. I left him alive with the idea of torturing him, but I think if you want I can leave him to you."

She spoke these words with an impassive, neutral face, as if taking life was not a problem for her. Did this little girl really know who her mother was? There were about 15 of us who stayed, although we were not warriors, death did not make us tremble but we had never given it. Seeing our hesitation, she went to a corner of the room to find two wounded and fainting half-human women.

"Triss, Lia !!"

An elf man had pounced on the two unconscious women and seemed to know them. As she watched this scene from the corner of her eye, Freya-sama continued.

"This is the work of the lord, when I arrived here he was having fun stomping on them after breaking their ribs and arm. In this world, either you are strong and can protect yourself and your loved ones..or you are weak and end up being trampled by humans."

She was right. If she hadn't come for her daughter, we would never have known freedom and those two young women would probably be dead.

With a snap of her finger, she made the ice walls disappear to reveal a fat, disgusting human man. He was shaking and had even soaked the bottom of his pants, in a word he was pitiful.

While I was wondering what to do, Freya-sama stepped in front of the human and broke his legs before looking at us with her intense eyes and saying.

"He can't escape anymore, if you want to take revenge take the torture utensils around you and make yourself happy."

At these words, you could see a terrifying smile forming on her face. The man who seemed to know the two young women stood up and picked up a small dagger before walking towards the lord with determination.

"Please ! I didn't mean to hurt you...I...I was going to let you go after scaring you a little I swear !."

He was crying and viscous fluid came out of both his nostrils and mouth as he begged for his life. The young elf ignored his pleas and thrust the dagger into the human's belly.

I didn't know what to do or say, I felt terrified and excited about what was happening. I had to get stronger! I picked up what seemed to be a small axe and brought it down on the broken legs of this disgusting human.

Seeing our actions, the few men and women who had not moved began to do the same with various objects, each more frightening than the last.

-- POV Freya --

The former slaves seemed to be having fun as they stabbed, sawed, beat and tortured the human named Harker. His screams echoed throughout the mansion and I was sure Shiro could hear them too.

*I should have cut his tongue out first.*

[Sigh..onee-san, I know you enjoy the screams of a tortured human..]

*Kufufu ~ yes! And then Shiro shouldn't ignore what's going on. Even if she can't see, she has to understand that I'm not as nice as she thinks. She is smart, she knows that this world is not a fairy tale.*

I had only exchanged a few words with Kira and the human was already dead, he had only lasted 5 minutes at the most. His blood was everywhere and had splattered those near him. As I walked towards them, I watched the elf and the minotaur carefully.

*These two managed to make a quick decision earlier despite being shocked by my violence. They have a very interesting cold blood...with a little training I'm sure they'll make very powerful subordinates.*

I had not yet founded a Kingdom, but I was planning to do so if possible in the Dark Forest because I had heard that many races were taking refuge there. Currently the humans were storming it, but I planned to destroy them all and settle there with Gaya and Shiro.

"What do you plan to do when you get out ?"

As I asked this question to the people in the room, I inwardly told myself that I absolutely needed these two. I had saved them and from the looks on their faces, I knew they could never betray me. I was too strong for them to even think about it anyway, but they all looked at me with deep respect and admiration despite the fear.

*Yosh ! It's time to make me some loyal subordinates !*
