Chapter 58: Yin (1)

The warriors opened a way for me back to my kingdom as I directed them on what to do. I asked some of the warriors to help rebuild the fallen part of town and some of the other warriors to help guard against anything trying to attack us. Even though we fended the bears off, if we lower our guard and something or somebody sees it, they will take full advantage of it.

The rest I told to take a break and they will rotate with the warriors that I assigned jobs to.

Arriving back at the campsite that I got healed at, I saw Homura and Aika talking with each other while Yin was standing right next to Aika stiff as a brick. I also saw the leaders where I gave them jobs to do, Lucy was helping gather the injured, Akito was helping guard our partly broken kingdom, Aimi was helping gather the injured, and I also saw Aito.

He was able to evacuate every citizen to the top of the mountain where they are now making their way back now. He also helped cook in this stressful situation, some people felt slightly nauseous after seeing the bloody battle but once they tried one sip of his soup, they all devoured it instantly, asking for seconds.

Finally, Aiso and Akio were helping rebuild the broken-down buildings. With Aisos blacksmithing skills he could work together with Akio to build stronger and overall fancier looking houses.

Nodding my head in satisfaction I walked over to Akito who wasn't that far from where I was and gave Kumo to him.

"Bring her to my room and make sure not to wake her up," I say.

"As you wish," Akito replies

Seeing Akito disappear into the distance I walk over to Homura and Aika. They noticed that my wings were gone and parts of my dress were torn up. I explained to them how I evolved and with my evolution, my wings turned into tattoos which I can activate any time I want.

Just to show them, I activated [Great Wings of the Cursed and Blessed Lamassu]. This was also my first time seeing my new wings as well so I was surprised by the changes. My wings were slightly larger than before and their designated tattoos crawled up the wings themselves. They also radiate an aura that was similar to the ones of [Ancient Fire Magic: Ichimei] and [Ancient Fire Magic: Amaterasu].

Also testing out my new questionable body modification I nervously activated [Incinerating Tail of the Cursed and Blessed Lamassu]. Looking towards my butt, I saw a long lion tail that crept out from the bottom of my dress. The end of it didn't have fur but instead had a flame that was the mix of [Ancient Fire Magic: Ichimei] and [Ancient Fire Magic: Amaterasu]. Of course, they never combined since they are complete opposites but it was still strange seeing them so close to each other.

When I was still in the harpy village, I tried to push them close together but instead, they both erupted causing a huge explosion. It didn't stop there though, since the flames tried to devour each other but it always ended in a stalemate with me deactivating both skills.

Both Homura and Akia were awed at seeing how cute my tail was. They slowly edged closer towards it which I slowly backed up as well, knowing what they were about to do. Seeing Homura's tails wag she lunged towards me grabbing a hold of me. Using my new stats, I lifted her by the collar on her dress which surprisingly didn't rip, and placed her down next to me.

"Y-you can touch it but don't pounce on it," I stutter still slightly cautious.

While Homura and Aika touched it I discovered many things about it. I was able to wag it like any tail and it felt like just another arm where I can also wrap it around people. But the worst part… or maybe a good part about it is, it's pretty sensitive. I couldn't help but let out a small moan when Aika started to pet it… which I immediately stopped her from continuing.

Deactivating both body modifications I realized I looked like a normal human, but with a hell of a lot of tattoos.

Seeing me deactivate the body modifications my wives both sighed in sadness as they wanted to touch my wings and tail a bit more.

"Now you guys can do your own thing, while I need to have a little talk with Yin," I say while my eyes slowly drift towards Yin causing her to shake uncontrollably.

"Sure, I'm going to go shopping," Aika says.

"I think I'm just going to help with inspecting the rebuilding of the kingdom," Homura says.

"Shopping? You know none of them are going to be open right?" I ask.

"No… I saw some open," Aika says trying to remember if some of them are open.

"Well if I can't find any open shops, then I'll just help Homura out," Aika says before walking away.

"See you later," Homura says.

Waving goodbye to both of them I return my gaze towards Yin. Gesturing for her to follow me she doesn't hesitate and follows me as fast as she can. Her breathing started to become sporadic as she was still shaking uncontrollably.

Walking into my castle I lead her down a familiar hallway. We only got halfway down the hallway before Yin stopped dead in her tracks, collapsing to her knees whilst crying uncontrollably.

"Hmmm~ you brought this upon yourself. Do you want to spend more time now?" I ask, turning from a playful face to a serious face.

"I-I'm sorry…" Yin squeezes out, in between her tears.

"Get up and follow me," I order while using the power of the collar.

Hearing me say this, she knew her neck was going to be squeezed if she didn't follow my order so she quickly got up with shaky knees and followed behind me.

As we walked down the hallway, we arrived at a door that was different from the dungeon. Yin's tears slowly stopped flowing as she was confused at how we weren't going inside the dungeon from before.

I had Akio make this room for me which was made completely out of the darkest Blackstone we had and was soundproof as well. Ava also enchanted it with an enchant that made it so no noise could be made inside the room and no noise could leave the room.

Walking through the door Yin's face soon turned horrified at the sight of the room. It was like before but worse since the blindfold from before could leak a little light through but now this time it was completely pitch black.

She tried to back up but her collar squeezed her neck instantly. As she made choking noises she tried to walk forward but her legs were shaking too much in fear so I picked her up by her collar which strained her neck. I threw her in the room and then said,

"Release previous order. I want to talk with you after 24 hours… okay,"

"NO! MY QUEEN, I'M SORRY! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!" Yin sobbed.

Closing the metal door it slammed shut without making a single noise.

…

"I'm scared," I muttered while holding my knees in the corner of the room.

My queen locked me in this dark room for 24 hours. I've never seen the dark because crawlers' eyes are special. It's not like we're nocturnal but it's just impossible for us to see darkness… or that's what I thought.

When my queen placed the blindfold over my eyes, everything went dark. I was scared by the unfamiliar and foreign feeling. Every sense in my body was telling me that this was bad, it's like it was ingrained in my body to never see darkness otherwise you will die.

I regretted being so arrogant which led to this situation right now. I couldn't help but mutter sorry over and over again, hoping somebody will hear it.

Whenever I tried to move my limbs including my neck it was quickly restrained by chains that wrapped around them. The collar was cold and uncomfortable around my neck as whenever I didn't follow my queen's orders it would squeeze my neck. It was just enough pressure to cause me to choke but never let me pass out or die.

As soon as I felt all hope was lost, my queen took my blindfold off letting me see her again. I was terrified by her, if it were at any other moment, I would have thought she was beautiful, but she was the person who locked me in chains and placed the blindfold over my eyes.

I couldn't help but shake in fear at what she would do next but she asked me a question instead.

"Will you accept becoming my servant? Not like it would do anything anyway, the system might just automatically make you my servant due to your pathetic state," she says.

Scared at what she might do to me next I instantly agreed with her. She then unlocked my chains but I was obedient and didn't move from my spot as she sat down on a chair.

She asked me to kiss her feet which I didn't hesitate with, since I didn't want to go through the same experience as before. I got carried away by fear as I tried to please her further by using my mouth to clean her foot and legs which she didn't like.

I got so carried away that I forgot that her order was to just kiss her foot. I shivered in fear as I begged her for another chance not wanting to get punished. My queen was merciful as she said I already broke enough, filling me with a sense of relief.

I don't know why but when I saw my queen's damaged state, I felt like I had a chance at escaping this hell. I was so excited at this moment that I forgot about the consequences of attacking her. Before I was even able to approach her she felt the bloodlust that leaked out from me and used the collar to put me in my place.

I was so scared at the punishment I was going to receive that I collapsed to the ground. My queen's wife, Aika, was worried about what happened to me so she reached out to check on me but I was still frightened so I reflexively slapped her hand away.

Of course, my queen saw this causing her bloodlust to crush me to the ground and make me hyperventilate. This crushing feeling around my neck wasn't even from the collar but from the insane amount of bloodlust directed towards me. It was also way worse than when the collar squeezed my neck, it's like she wrapped her hand around my neck herself while tightening it even when I couldn't breathe.

I wanted to go back in time and be a good girl but can't anymore. If only I was a good girl I could've stayed out of this room...
