CH 418

She still remembered the silver collar that Elona had, it was as beautiful as a necklace and there were a lot of exquisite floral engravings. It was practical and aesthetic.

… They were both collars, so why was hers so strange!

The collar on her neck was as thick as two fingers, and the grey metal looked extremely cheap, and even had some rust. It looked like the slave collars that slave dealers used, it was ugly and demeaning.

Only genuine slaves would be locked up in these poor-quality shackles.

“W-what is the meaning of this!?”

Elena was shocked and started grabbing at the collar, but she couldn’t take it off no matter what she tried.

Why did she have to wear this? She was the demon king, how could she wear something only human slaves would wear?

Elena felt an intense humiliation and was enraged, but when she wanted to erupt, she only felt emptiness.

“Why… why is it all gone!?”

She couldn’t feel anything.

All the demon king’s power within her completely vanished, other than her perception skill that could still prove her identity as the demon king, she was now just an ordinary human girl…

No, she was even worse than an ordinary human girl, because she was Lin Xiao’s slave.

“Uh, don’t worry, this is Snow’s enhanced demon-sealing collar, along with the reagent from earlier, it suppresses your power.”

“What!?”

No! Impossible!

Elena couldn’t believe it and did whatever she could to take it off. She clawed at her neck until it was red, in the end, she was forced to bite her tongue and tried to awaken her blood’s power!

The pain almost made her blackout, as she closed her eyes and strained herself trying to use all her strength to break free, but all that was waiting for her was endless emptiness.

Her legs went soft and she plopped down onto the floor.

“It’s gone, it’s all gone…”

She lowered her head and looked at her right hand as she clenched it and formed a fist, then she relaxed and then clenched it again, she foolishly repeated this over and over in a daze.

She tried everything and the only thing left was a sense of powerlessness. She didn’t have the demon king’s strength anymore, nothing, the only thing she could do was clench her small fist that was no threat at all.

“Do you really not feel anything? Wow, that brat Snow is amazing!”

Lin Xiao walked over and looked left and right, then tugged it a couple of times, causing Elena to be shaken along with it, leaving behind some pitiful red marks.

Elena had her head down and her expression couldn’t be seen, while Lin Xiao happily nodded his head.

“Amazing! This is just a simplified demon sealing barrier, and it also wouldn’t leak, so it won’t weaken over time… hehe, that’s amazing.”

With this, Elena was the perfect maid! He could bring her anywhere without any risk of her identity being revealed, it was safe insurance.

“Is this why you didn’t want me to move? You lied to me and told me it was because you were clearing up the demon sealing barrier, but you were afraid I would resist so you sneakily slipped this collar on me, right?”

Elena calmed down as she slowly stood up. She stopped tugging on her collar like she accepted the reality.

She finally realized why Lin Xiao made a solemn vow that he wouldn’t do anything to her midway because as long as she wore this collar, she would lose all her strength and become powerless.

She was now completely Lin Xiao’s slave, he could do anything he liked to her now.

Look at that perverse expression, he’s probably already getting impatient and would soon do something strange to her.

Elena knew she fell into a trap and simply gave up resisting. It was funny, she actually naively thought that she was Lin Xiao’s comrade in arms and they were standing together against Snow, but in reality?

In reality, they were intimate siblings and their quarreling was just a show, in the end, Lin Xiao and Snow were family, so Elena the outsider, was cheated.

“Uh… how could you call that lying?” Lin Xiao awkwardly smiled and changed the subject, “So Elena, can you really not feel anything?”

“Yes, I’m just a normal girl now, so I can’t resist no matter what you do to me.”

“Really?”

“Really, I can’t do anything like taking you with me… you don’t have to worry.”

She still remembers when she first became Lin Xiao’s captive, he almost pushed her down and stripped her, at that time she was able to scare Lin Xiao off with the threat of killing him along with herself so they came to an agreement.

Elena would promise to be his maid and he would promise that he wouldn’t do anything overboard to her.

Thanks to that, they came to an agreement, and their relationship quickly improved, since then, they came from being enemies to allies.

But Elena forgot the saying that life springs from sorrow and calamity, death comes from ease and pleasure.

The peacefulness numbed her sense of danger and she lost the vigilance she should have as the demon king. As she cooperated with Lin Xiao, she gradually forgot about the agreement and the core that maintained their relationship.

The core that maintained their relationship was power.

Because she’s the demon king, she had the power to kill him along with herself, so she could earn his respect and become allies… but what would happen once she lost that and become a normal girl?

Lin Xiao liked her stubbornness, her beautiful face and criminally alluring body, he even once honestly said that he wanted her to stay by his side as his maid forever.

The reason he never did that was that he was afraid, now that she lost all her power, what would he do?

Yes, what would a young male going through puberty do to his beautiful and obedient maid?

Was there a need to ask? Everyone should know!

Look at his perverted gaze right now that couldn’t stop glancing at her chest.

“A normal girl, huh?” Lin Xiao felt like Elena sounded off, but he still heartlessly continued to joke around, “You don’t have any power, right? Hmph, demon king, let’s see how you keep acting high and might toward me now!”

“Yes, I can’t.”

“Now you know to be afraid, right? I told you that you would pay the price for your arrogance!”

“Hm, I was wrong… so master, please forgive me.”

“It’s not that simple! Did no one teach you that you should be respectful when apologizing? How should you address me as a maid?” Lin Xiao didn’t notice how she called him and continued questioning her.

“I should call you master… but master, that is how I addressed you earlier.”

“Ah? Did you?”

Lin Xiao thought back and realized that Elena already started calling him master, it was completely unexpected.

He still remembers when he tried so hard to teach her and tried many ways to force her to call him master, but she would always agree, call him master for a while, and then go back to calling him Lin Xiao, or pervert, anyways, she just refused to call him master.

But now she was doing it of her own accord!

Was Lin Xiao happy? Of course!

Elena’s voice was extremely pleasing to the ear, no matter how apathetic she was.

If her simply calling him master was that addicting, how amazing would it feel if she moaned next to his ears!?

That would have been something impossible, but now, his delusions could become reality!

Because Elena was completely reduced to being his maid and had to follow all his orders.

“So master, how do you want to punish this disobedient maid?”

As if noticing his inner delusions, Elena apologized and crossed her hands over her stomach and slightly bowed as she silently awaited her master’s orders.

Any orders…
