"Spirited, truly worthy of being the Sky Queen!"
Rin praised mockingly. "Unfortunately, your refusal is a bit late."
"Now it's not that I want you to become a servant."
"But rather, you are already my subordinate..."
"What?!"
At these words, Frey instantly turned pale with fright.
She quickly checked her body, found no signs of being violated, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It made sense. Someone like Rin would not do something so opportunistic.
"Subordinate..."
"Haha, so that's how it is."
After calming down, Frey began to accept the new information that appeared in her mind.
This included her increased magicules, as well as a complete subordinate contract, and the newly acquired Unique Skill named Hunter.
She had become stronger, there was no doubt about that.
And as the price for becoming stronger, Frey lost her freedom.
"I really lost everything, didn't I..."
Frey admitted that she had lost, and lost miserably.
Logically speaking, according to the tradition of monsters, the loser should obey the strong.
Especially when it was someone like Rin, who had defeated her fair and square.
By all accounts, Frey should not be so resistant.
But.
Frey could submit, but she could not accept being played with like a slave by Rin.
This was a humiliation to her dignity.
This was even more unacceptable to Frey than death.
"By the way, aren't you going too far?"
Frey recognized her position and said, "The victor has the right to dispose of the loser. Since you won, it's not impossible for me to submit."
"But to humiliate me like this, is that really what a king should do?"
"Oh ho?"
Rin's expression was calm. He looked at Frey with interest and laughed, "Starting to elevate my status? Do you think I'll fall for that?"
...
Frey did not speak, she only looked at Rin silently.
"Hmm, you guessed right, I actually do fall for that."
Rin lifted Frey's smooth chin. "This, consider it punishment for your disrespectful words earlier."
"Disrespectful words?"
Frey thought of what she had said to Rin back then.
!!!
These words made Frey grit her teeth.
She wanted to hit Rin now, but her body simply could not make any moves to harm him.
Helpless, Frey had to compromise. "Then, the revenge has been taken, can you let me go now?"
While saying this, Frey was actually frantically thinking of countermeasures in her heart.
She had to escape Rin's control.
How could she, one of the Ten Great Demon Lords, be so played with by a newbie?
Fortunately, the subordinate contract did not stipulate that the subordinate must like Rin.
Otherwise, if she could not even control her own self-awareness, Frey might truly fall into complete despair.
There was still a chance, Milim, as long as I can find Milim...
Rin's power was too strong, the only person Frey could think of was Milim.
If something happened to her, Milim would find out sooner or later.
At that time, that tyrant would definitely come over.
Of course, Frey would definitely not let Milim harm Rin.
Subordinate and master, sharing life and death.
If anything happened to Rin, she would be finished too.
In fact, even without this relationship, Frey would not stand by and do nothing.
No matter what, for whatever purpose, Rin had spared her life.
!!!
However, just as Frey began to imagine how she would get back at Rin after he was beaten up by Milim,
an unimaginable horror, and a pain like her soul was tearing apart, instantly enveloped Frey completely.
"Ah!!!!"
A heartbreaking, miserable wail erupted from Frey's mouth.
Even the Sky Queen, who had held a high position for nearly a millennium, still could not withstand the punishment from the Dependent Contract.
"Hoo... Hoo..."
Frey noticed that as long as she had a bad thought in her mind, that invisible power would torment her severely.
Conversely, as long as she did not harbor any ill intentions, nothing would happen.
"Is this why you're so confident?"
"It has nothing to do with me."
Rin explained, "That's how the Dependent Contract works. There's nothing I can do."
"Hmph!"
Frey snorted, then stood up. "Can you unseal me now? Or do you think I can still pose a threat to you?"
As she spoke, Frey's gaze swept over Snow Empress, Artoria, and the others, expressing her speechlessness at Rin's caution.
"Heh..."
Rin shook his head and smiled. "Alright, remember, this was your request."
"Snow Empress!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Snow Empress unbound Frey, revealing her fair, beautiful skin underneath.
"..."
Almost visibly, Frey's cheeks flushed crimson, and then she squatted on the ground like a shy little girl.
Frey was utterly humiliated and indignant.
In just this one day, the humiliation Frey endured was more than she had experienced in her entire life combined.
"Nice figure!"
"Don't look!"
"I'll look."
"You!!"
Frey was both ashamed and annoyed, but she could not do anything to Rin.
Fortunately, Artoria stepped forward and draped her cloak over Frey, preventing her from being exposed further.
"Thank you."
Frey looked at Artoria gratefully. "I am completely convinced of my defeat."
To be defeated head-on after awakening.
And now, to help her out of a predicament without holding grudges, fully displaying a knight's demeanor.
Frey's favorability toward Artoria greatly increased.
She now wished so much that the one who captured her was Artoria, and not that scoundrel brat, Rin.
"Tsk, what a pity."
Rin remarked with a slight hint of regret. "Artoria, you were too fast."
"My Lord, please don't bully Miss Frey anymore."
Artoria sighed. She intended to maintain the relationship between Rin and Frey.
After all, Frey had already become Rin's Family.
They would become comrades fighting side by side in the future.
"Alright then."
Rin said, "Now, it's time to talk about war reparations"
(To be continued.)
