"What are these for?"

"Oh, those are nondetachable collars. If master wants to put one on, you just have to drop some blood on it which makes it recognize you as the master. One of the fire harpies you sent here was an enchanter and she was able to apply many simple enchants on it. Of course, Aiso was the one who created the basic collar. Also, If one were to disobey, it would start to squeeze their neck until they admit their wrongdoing," Aika explains.

Interesting… Can I use [Inspect] on it?

It seems Aiso can make equipment with stat buffs now. If equipment can give buffs does that mean my soul equipment can give buffs as well… well just my sword, since I already know my dress can.

Activating both [Fire of Deaths Sword: Raiu] and [Fire of Deaths Armour: Araes Dress] I inspect them. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

Fuck… so it was just a coincidence instead of it multiplying my stats by two. Also, maybe in the future, my sword will give me bonus stats… wait does this equipment even grow…?

tch

Whatever, I'll find the answer sooner or later, I have to focus on putting this queen under my control.

Waving my hand, signaling for Aika to leave I soon hear a loud slam notifying me that it is just me and the queen. I could hear the nervousness in her breathing probably due to my Fire of Death set.

Undoing the shadows that wrapped around the queen's eyes and limbs I laid her down on the ground after making sure she won't wake up. Walking towards the table with 10 collars I cut my finger with Raiu and then deactivated both soul equipment. Letting the blood droplet slide down my finger and onto the collar it starts to glow. A faint connection could be felt between me and the collar notifying me that the process is done.

...

Picking it up I hover it near the unconscious queen's neck. Suddenly the collar burst open like it was alive, molding around her neck it was airtight, you couldn't even fit a blade of grass through the space between her neck and the collar. The sensation of it wrapping around her neck and tightening was enough to wake her up.

Feeling a slight suffocating feeling, she started clawing at the collar. Seeing how it was useless she scanned the area to find out that I was sitting on a chair in front of her. Her face was filled with anger as she activated [Shadow Magic] sending spears flying at me.

"Don't use skills or magic. Don't attack me," I state testing out the capabilities of the collar.

She started to choke as the collar was tightening around her neck causing her to lose focus deactivating her magic. As soon as the killing intent was gone and the magic deactivated she regained her breath as if it never happened.

Looking up at me in fear while holding her neck tears started to slide down her cheeks. She tried to kill herself by stabbing her chest with her hand but I stopped her with a,

"Don't harm or kill yourself,"

The words instantly stop her movements knowing what would happen next if she did try and harm herself. She could only glare at me on the cold stone floor with tears running down her cheeks in anger.

Picking her up by the head she tries to resist but I don't even give a command due to her pathetic state. Bringing her over to a set of chains by the wall I wrap the cuffs around her wrists and ankles. The last one was attached to the back of her collar where there was a small groove.

Stepping away before grabbing a blindfold from the table I place it over her eyes. She starts to panic not knowing when she'll be able to see the light of day again.

It seems like the best method of torture without affecting her physical condition. By hindering most of her senses she should start to feel a sense of helplessness. With this, she will be more reliant on me. I don't remember where I learned this form of torture but I know if left long enough it could be worse than any type of physical torture.

Stripping her of her clothes she gets chills from the slightly cold breeze that entered through the window. The only thing she had left was a semi see-through red veil that covered her entire body like a nightgown and underwear. Then faking that I left the room by opening and closing the metal door I feel a sense of panic coming from the queen.

Seeing her go through multiple emotions in a span of a few minutes she finally exhausted herself. She was just purely crying now at her helplessness. Regretting that she didn't just submit earlier, which would have spared her from this torture.

"I'm sorry… I'm sorry…" she mutters over and over again.

…

Leaving her for another 30 minutes I stop right before her mind breaks. Lifting her soaked blindfold I realized her eyes had been dried of tears. She was barely hanging on, a few more minutes and her eyes would be that of a dead fish.

I would've thought it'd take longer but I remember that her species sees night like how we see the day. I don't think they are nocturnal because I saw them during the day as well… this could only mean… they have never seen darkness before multiplying the effects by leaps and bounds.

Seeing some light shine on her face, her eyes light up again in hope. The first thing she saw was my face, frightening her to no end. Her breathing had become rapid again but I still asked her the question.

"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…" I say.

"YES! YES! I'm sorry so please stop this!" The queen says.

"Oh, are you trying to order me around…"

"Never! I would never do that, my queen!" she responds.

A grin creeps onto my face as I unlock her chains. She stands in the same spot while I walk over to a chair. Sitting down on it I reach out my foot towards her giving her an order without the influence of the collar.

"Kiss it to prove your loyalty…"

"OF COURSE! OF COURSE! Whatever my queen wishes," she responds, quickly getting on both knees in front of me.

She starts by kissing the tip of my toes working her way up eventually using her tongue. I feel a sense of euphoria from just looking at her pathetic state.

Licking all the dirt off my foot she makes her way up, onto my ankle. Not stopping there she eventually starts kissing my calf and then my thigh...

I only told her to kiss my feet…

Grabbing her hair I yank her away while staring at her with a stern face, making her freeze up in fear once again.

"I thought I gave the order to only kiss my feet, not only did you start licking it but you even went to my leg. You should know my feet are much nobler than you, not even mentioning my legs which are leagues above you," I say.

"Yes, of course, please give me another try my queen," the not so much queen begs.

*sigh*

"I've had enough of this. You've already broken enough,"

[Congratulations [Queen] is now your slave!]

[Would you like to name her?]

… Yin.

[Queen has been granted a new name by Arpious]

[Queen is now Yin]

"Do you like your new name?" I ask.

"I do, thank you very much, my queen," she says while kowtowing in front of me.

"Lift all orders besides 'don't attack me' and 'don't harm or kill yourself'... There, now you should be able to make yourself some clothes,"

"As you wish," Yin responds.

Yin made herself an outfit that was practically skin tight made of black and red threads. There were six holes on her back that were for her broken spider legs. She then started to make a mask of threads but I wanted Aiso to make a mask that gives some stat buffs.

Before leaving, I wanted Yin to master the thing that Kumo did earlier. If she can do this, it will not only be useful in missions but also masking her presence while in my kingdom.

It doesn't seem like the right time to reveal her to Kumo.
