[Equipment - Restraining Bedrock Magic Chains]
[Set Owner: Reyna]
[Enchants: [Status Suppression (Partial)] [Reinforced] [Greater Reinforced] [Basic Immunities]
…
Oh, that explains it.
"Seems you already figured it out, so no point in telling you. Also, this part of your punishment for being so disobedient yesterday," The queen says, walking around me and trailing her finger all over my body once again.
"Please don\'t touch me,"
Slap
The queen slapped me in the face again, and a sudden realization came over me as the queen\'s cold eyes looked down on me.
Pain? I feel pain… wait, that makes sense as the godly immunities skills are skills, so obviously, the chains would suppress them.
Slight tension began to sink in, and I began to recognize my careless actions once again. I was even beginning to feel annoyed with how I acted, like there was no punishment for me.
I have to gain the queen\'s trust; otherwise, she can kill me here if she wanted. Once I get out, I need to make sure to stay on her good side while also proceeding with my plans… fuck… I gotta suck up to this bitch... but I can\'t do that.
"It seems you\'ve calmed down a bit," The queen says before unchaining me, and the suppressed regeneration from my skills quickly healed all the marks on my body.
Letting out a deep breath, I shot a slight glare at the queen before fixing my expression to a normal, cold expression.
"Now be a good girl and follow me, okay? Today you will be training with my 2 other personal guards, excluding Bridget, who will be my personal guard for today," The queen says, thankfully ignoring my glare which I made on impulse.
I don\'t respond but follow her out of the room, where we were met with another room with multiple sets of armor and clothing.
"Go ahead and pick one," The queen orders with a cold expression.
"Really? Can I use my soul equipment?" I ask the queen, whose eyes slightly widened at the thought of soul equipment.
p
"A monster. Probably what you are thinking right now and more," I respond before picking out some armor with a mix of metal and chainmail.
It was a light type of armor that was opposite to the massive heavy shit the male guards wore.
"What does that even mean?" The queen asks, clearly confused by the last part of my answer.
"You know not all monsters are how you think they are. Not all of them are savages that lunge at anything just from the sight of them.
Not all of them are bloodthirsty, but some want to raise a family. Some would go all out to defend the one they are loyal to, even if that means dying and not seeing their family anymore.
But there is the rare occasion where a monster becomes a complete monster, which becomes in mind and body. It takes a lot to draw them out of that state, and without any help, they will completely lose it and become tyrannical.
They become too powerful for their own good, and that might sound good to a human who is drunken on power as you, my lady, but trust me, those types of monsters… really… really… suck," I say as I finish changing into my light armor.
The queen doesn\'t respond and instead walks through the door that leads to a massive grand hallway where I followed behind.
…
"Oh yeah, what is a Dulan Coin?" I ask the queen as we walk down a grand hallway much bigger than my own castles until we reached what seemed to be a blacksmith.
As we walked through the massive doors, the queen finally spoke up and answered my question.
"I guess there is no harm in answering now… Basically, it\'s a currency used to buy pieces of a kingdom or plots of land owned by a kingdom. In fact, if you obtain 50, you can create your own kingdom if you wanted," The queen says before the doors finally open.
What was revealed was a massive room filled with a massive forge about 3 times the size of myself.
A huge fire continued to blast, but thankfully my immunity skill came in and saved me once again.
"Igor, do you have a spare war scythe sitting around?" The queen asks what seemed to be a dwarf taking a break on a metal couch and polishing his hammers.
I inspected him, but his status was pitiful, so I didn\'t bother to memorize it.
"Oh, your highness!" The dwarf shouts, sitting immediately up and running over to us.
"Did you hear my question?"
"O-of course! It\'s over there. Just select which one you want, and if you want one modified, ask me," The dwarf says with a smile but completely ignored my existence.
"Go select one," The queen says to me, causing me to receive a slight glare from the dwarf… for some reason.
"What the hell are you looking at?" I say to the dwarf before walking over to a basket with a few war scythes just slightly taller than me.
I then checked the weight distribution, which was slightly off, but it would do for now.
"Feels good?" The queen asks.
"Yep," I respond before swinging it around a bit and returning to her side.
It didn\'t really, but if I got this dwarf to tinker with my scythe, then he\'ll intentionally mess something up cause he doesn\'t like me.
"Thanks, I\'ll send a few diamond coins over," The queen says before turning away and exiting the blacksmith.
"See ya," I say with a taunting smile to the dwarf who was seething in anger.
As soon as the door closed, another question came to mind, which I had absolutely no ideas on.
"When did you use the aphrodisiac?" I ask the queen, who continued to walk down the hallway with a cold expression.
"In the beginning, I planned to apply it to your lips so whenever you needed to lick them, the aphrodisiac will slowly be ingested and turn you on over time, but you instead started to lick my finger of all the aphrodisiac.
So, it was completely your fault, and to top it off, I applied an even stronger one with a mind-numbing effect just before we left the theatre to break you down and make it easier to chain you up,"
"You were planning to chain me up from the start?"
"Yeah, and the punishment was you being chained with an even stronger aphrodisiac once we got back, but you passed out, so there would be no point unless I did it when you woke you up,"
"How cruel," I mutter.
Suddenly, the queen turned around, walked upright to me, and grasped her hand around my neck while slightly applying pressure.
"Don\'t forget that you are mine, so no matter what I do, you will accept it and learn from your mistakes," The queen says with her cold eyes staring into my closed eyes.
"Of course, my lady," I respond before she let go and continued walking down the hallway.
What a stiff-ass person.
A few minutes passed by, and the queen spoke up with an order that made a drop of sweat run down the back of my neck.
"Open your eyes, by the way. I know it\'s part of the skill, and for some reason, it can escape my orders, so I want you to keep your eyes open from now on,"
I need an excuse. Plus, if any of the assassins investigating the war are present, then they\'d immediately recognize me… I need to think of something... wait... this might sound believable.
"Do I have to?" I ask the queen, who once again turned around and stared down at me with cold eyes.
"What did I say earlier? Unless you are hoping for a punishment,"
"But I\'m insecure about my eyes," I say while acting slightly nervous.
"Insecure? It doesn\'t matter. Just open your eyes,"
"I-I\'m sorry, my lady. I really don\'t want to,"
"*sigh*... Fine," The queen says, slightly surprising me as I thought she would keep pushing on.
"Thank you very much, my lady-"
"No, I wouldn\'t thank me as you\'re going to have a punishment tonight," The queen says in a cold tone with no mercy.
Shit… Well, at least that\'s better than me giving away my identity. I can suffer a bit in order to follow through with my plan.
I didn\'t respond but instead faked being sad while following the queen down the long hallway.
"I already know you\'re faking it, so drop the terrible act... And this is our training room. Elisa! Dorna! Come here! I brought somebody to train with you!" The queen shouts into the circular training room with lots of vegetation and an open roof.
