"…You know what I mean, right? If I find out you're trying to undo the chastity belt on your limp penis, our relationship will be over forever." Cecilia said to Leo, who was barely able to walk after receiving treatment, with a mocking, snickering tone.
Cecilia's eyes held a disdain as if she were looking at an insect; she showed no affection whatsoever for Leo.
Standing at the entrance of the Demon King's Castle facing me with that look, Cecilia might have looked like a resident of the Demon King's Castle to some onlookers on the street, right?
Leo, dressed in tattered clothes and wearing a rag-like hood.
And Cecilia, making a gesture as if to drive him away.
She hasn't even been outside the underground yet.
But she already considers the Demon King's Castle her home?
Heh heh heh…that's right.
"Anyway, from today onwards, this Demon King's castle is your home... That's a good attitude."
Cecilia.
"Ah, I understand... uh... Cecilia..."
"Cecilia 'Lady'! Who do you think you are!? You're neither my fiancée nor some important person now, just one of my many toys!"
"Ah! Yes, sir...! Cecilia-Lady...!"
"Hehe♡ That's right. You need to recognize your place. That way you can continue to see me as you wish, right?"
Even after suffering such cruel treatment underground, surprisingly, Leo didn't give up on Cecilia.
No, I didn't expect him to beg for another chance under those circumstances... This is completely unexpected... Why?
That Leo guy, is he really this obsessed with Cecilia?
I initially thought their engagement was merely a political alliance based on Leo's status as a hero and his friendship with the somewhat troublesome Cecilia, a marriage tinged with self-interest… It seems Leo might be more principled than I imagined.
Ha, even so, it's meaningless now.
Even if Leo develops muscle strength surpassing mine in the future, for now he's just a spineless, useless man who can't even produce normal sperm. Utterly worthless.
Your former fiancée, Cecilia, is now mine alone. Hehehe…
"Get out of here now. I'll summon you again when I'm bored. Go back to work."
"Ah, I understand. Lady Cecilia… If you summon me again… then it wouldn't be…"
"…Pfft…♡ That's right. I'll torture you severely. If you want to take me back, you'll have to train a body that can easily withstand that kind of torture, right? Otherwise… hehe♡ it'll be like today,
your peanut-sized testicles being crushed♡"
"…! Yes, yes…! I understand…! Lady Cecilia…!"
"Hehe…♡ Idiot…♡ Then goodbye♡ Disgusting soft-dick Leo♡" Cecilia waved her hand like shooing away a fly, and Leo staggered away from the Demon King's castle.
For some reason, his expression and back view looked incredibly joyful.
…Hmm… Could it be…
That guy, could it be…? Even though Cecilia's been playing both sides, I never expected Leo to be involved too… If it weren't for me, those two might have unexpectedly become a well-matched couple.
"…Ahha♡ Really, as expected of an inferior male… He gets excited about torturing him♡ So stupid♡"
But, that kind of future will never come true.
"So that toy's gone too... Brother Shimo~♡ It's all over now, take me to see the Demon King's Castle!♡ You promised to take me to see the Demon King's Castle after today, right?"
"Pfft. Is that how it is? But, aren't you tired from playing so intensely? If you're tired, we can go see it tomorrow..."
"Not tired at all! It's more like thanks to Brother Shimo's horse semen! Just thinking about chasing away that annoying fly makes me feel so refreshed, like I'm floating!♡"
"Actually, I didn't plan to completely break Leo... Hehe. Now I feel a little guilty towards Leo."
"I was going to throw him away sooner or later anyway♡ Thanks to the amusement park you prepared, it's just a little earlier than usual♡"
Seemingly eager to see the Demon King's Castle, Cecilia skipped around with expectant eyes.
Looks like our Cecilia still has energy left? Hehe... Is playing with Leo this enjoyable? Looks like I should take her there soon.
"Haa~♡ My brother prepared this playground. It's so much fun…♡ It's so enjoyable to bully insect-like males…♡" Seeing Cecilia happily clinging to my arm, it seems she's happy for more than just getting rid of Leo.
Is the game she's enjoying in the underground slaughterhouse really that to her liking? Hehehe… Once the underground slaughterhouse is officially completed, it wouldn't be bad to just hand it over to Cecilia to manage.
"Cecilia."
"Ah, Mom!"
As Cecilia, arm in arm with me, entered the Demon King's castle entrance hall, my waiting beasts greeted me with satisfied expressions.
After confirming that one of the beasts was indeed her mother, Cecilia smiled and ran towards her.
Cecilia looked at her daughter with loving eyes and gently hugged her.
"You seem to really enjoy torturing Leo so much! ♡ It seems you really enjoy the slaughterhouse, don't you?"
"Yeah! It's so—fun! Watching Leo writhe like a worm in pain…♡"
"Heh…♡ That's right. That's how it should be, Cecilia!♡ Inferior males deserve to be trampled on!"
Seriously. Our Cecilia's daughter's upbringing is truly excellent. *Pfft…*
"But Mom. I canceled my engagement with Leo without permission…"
"Don't worry. Mom never intended for you to marry that kind of male."
Cecilia conveyed the news of her broken engagement to Cecilia, her expression seemingly filled with worry as she observed Cecilia's expression.
Cecilia stroked Cecilia as if praising her, then turned her gaze to me.
"Don't worry about anything…♡ While you're in the Demon King's castle, think carefully about who you should serve from now on.♡"
Cecilia's gaze followed Cecilia, landing on me.
Cecilia smiled and swallowed, as if she had already made up her mind.
It seems my new lewd beast will soon be born.
"...Cecilia. You told your master you wanted to visit the Demon King's castle, right?"
"Ah, yes! My brother said he'd show me this and that, I want to see what's there!"
"Hehe♡ Alright. But before that, say hello to Lisbeth and Claire."
"Hello~♡Cecilia♡"
"It's a bit late, but welcome to the Demon King's castle♡"
Cecilia pointed to the two, and Lisbeth and Claire walked up to Cecilia, smiling and greeting her.
At first, I seemed to dislike Cecilia a little because of her rudeness... but now it seems it doesn't matter.
"Ah, hello! Mage, Saintess! ...Um, Mother. These two are...?"
"That's right. Have you met them once before? Liz and Claire are colleagues of my mother, who became her master's females even before me.♡"
"Mother's, colleagues..."
"Hehe...♡ To be precise, not colleagues... but rather they serve the same master, like family.♡"
Yes. That's right. My females are all like family.
So, Cecilia. Don't you want to be a member of that family too? *Pfft…*
"I see. Brother's… Speaking of which, everyone has the same crest on the back of their hands…"
"The Beast Paradise Guild crest, right? Hehe…♡ It's easier to join the same guild if you want to assist Master, so everyone joined the guild Master created♡"
"If we want to assist Brother…"
"However, if we just recruit people randomly, the guild will be difficult to manage. Only females chosen by Master can join the guild♡ See, aren't there numbers marked on it? That's the order number for becoming Master's female♡"
"Next time a female chosen by Master joins, that female will be assigned number 4♡"
"…Number 4…" Listening to the beasts' explanation, Cecilia quietly stared at the guild crests drawn on the back of their hands.
After confirming the crest on her mother's hand, Cecilia looked at her own bare hand.
Cecilia's expression seemed to be imagining the Beast Paradise Guild crest with the number "Ⅳ" branded on the back of her hand.
A subtle smile appeared on her face, and Cecilia quietly swallowed.
Watching Cecilia like this, my beasts smiled with inexplicable pleasure.
It seemed they were also ready to welcome their new beast.
"...You said you wanted to tour the Demon King's castle, right? We'll take you there~♡"
"The shops are almost ready, and we're planning to let Master inspect them properly♡"
"Each shop already has its livestock waiting. Master♡ Please come with Cecilia and see what we've prepared♡"
Although they only knew my preferred types and special needs, they had basically decorated all the new shops in the Demon King's castle buildings themselves.
The beasts, indicating they were ready to inspect, waved to me.
Pfft... I was originally planning to be Cecilia's guide. Now I'm being guided too.
Alright. Then let's take Cecilia, who is about to be reborn as a new beast, to see how my beasts decorate the Demon King's castle? "Hehe. Okay. Shall we go shopping, Cecilia?"
"Mmm! Brother Shimo♡" In the Demon King's castle, where new shops had been prepared, the Demon King and his lewd beasts began their inspection.
