“In other words, they act brave, however,
They are the biggest cowards you would ever meet in your entire life.”
Ember spoke as she looked at Eliyard with a demonic smile on her face.
“Aren’t I right, Eliyard Kingson?”
“W-Who are you?”
Eliyard questioned as his body trembled a little.
Ember crouched and with her face close to Eliyard, she whispered,
“You are not the one asking questions here, Eliyard.”
“E-E-Ember… You are E-Ember W-Windstar…”
Eliyard finally recalled.
He always thought that Ember was a little familiar, however, he didn’t care much about it because he was dealing with other, far more important matters, however, now that Ember’s face was so close to his, he finally recalled who she was.
“Oh ho? I didn’t know you were so popular, Ember.”
Nux chuckled.
“What can I say? You can’t contain my awesomeness no matter what happens.”
“Indeed, Indeed. I agree with that.”
Nux nodded repeatedly and then, he questioned,
“So? What about him? What you said about him, is it really true?”
“Don’t we have a better way to find out?”
Suddenly, Thyra walked forward.
“Hmm? What are they, Thyra?” Nux questioned with a smile on his face.
Thyra smiled back, then she walked towards Eliyard and crouched.
“We can always test it out, can’t we?”
Saying that, Thyra stabbed a knife into his left thigh.
“AAaaGGGhHHhh!!”
Eliyard screamed in pain.
“Hmmmmmmmm.”
Thyra nodded to herself.
“What did you find out, Detective Thyra?”
Nux questioned with a playful smile on his face.
Evane noticed that he was awfully unbothered about the man screaming in front of it and narrowed her eyes. Different thoughts about this situation filled her mind after that.
Of course, everyone else was oblivious to these thoughts.
“Hmmm, I was wondering this when I stabbed him before, but now I am sure. His screams are louder than the screams I usually hear when I stab other people.
This is very strange. It is almost as if he feels more pain than the others.”
“Hmmm, that is an interesting theory.”
Nux smiled.
“But how does that prove my point?”
Ember questioned curiously.
“Well, it does not, for now.”
“For now?” Felberta frowned.
“We can always run more experiments, can we not?
There are many non-life-threatening places on his body, we have a lot of healing potions in our stock, so why don’t we find more about this?”
Thyra proposed.
“That seems like an interesting idea.”
Nux and his other women nodded, however,
“NO! NO! You can’t hurt me anymore! You don’t need to prove it. She’s is right! I am afraid of pain, so don’t hurt me! Please! I will do anything you want, just don’t hurt me.”
Before the experiment could continue, Eliyard spoke up.
He had finally realized.
He was cornered by a group of crazy people.
Absolute maniacs!
Just how could one not care about someone who is screaming in agony and just talking about things like it is a normal Sunday?
How ridiculous is that!?
Eliyard didn’t have any intentions to against these crazy people.
He was cornered here, he needed an opportunity to get out of this place. However, he will do all of that later, for now, ensuring that he won’t get stabbed anymore had a higher priority.
“Oh? Well, this proves your theory, doesn’t it, Ember?
He is a coward.”
“I never doubted myself for even a second.”
“I certainly believe that.”
“Well then, I believe it is my turn now, correct?”
Nux smiled as he stepped towards Eliyard and then, he questioned.
“Eliyard Kingson, are you willing to be my Slave?”
“Yes, I am. I definitely am. I would do anything you say, no matter what it is.”
Eliyard answered without a second of hesitation.
Even Nux was a little taken aback.
“A simple yes would have sufficed.”
“W-What have you done to me?”
Suddenly, Eliyard questioned in panic.
Right after he said those words, a strange energy entered his body, and for some reason, he got a bad feeling about this energy.
For some reason, he knew that whatever it was, it wasn’t a good thing.
And of course, he was 100% right.
“Nothing much, really. Just a little magic of mine that would ensure that you remain loyal to me from now on.”
“Huh?”
Eliyard frowned.
However, before he could even ask anything, Thyra removed all the knives that were stabbed into his body.
“AAaagghhH- Ummghgfgffff!”
He opened his mouth to scream, however, Thyra forced a healing potion into his mouth.
The man wasn’t even allowed to scream.
The wounds started healing up, and although the healing wasn’t very fast, Eliyard’s condition was certainly better compared to before.
Thyra, Ember, and Nux moved away from him, leaving him alone.
Seeing this, Arvina frowned.
“What are you guys doing? What if he runs away?”
“Hmm? Didn’t he admit to being my Slave? Everything will be fine from now on, don’t worry.”
Nux smiled,
“Isn’t that right, Eliyard?”
“Y-Yes, of course, yes. I would never run away, how could I possibly do that when I gave you my word? Don’t worry, I am a man of my word.”
Eliyard answered with a smile on his face, at the same time, he continued to tie up the wounds on his legs with bandages.
As someone who fear pain more than anything, he had a decent knowledge of first aid.
Soon, the ring on his finger shined, another Healing Potion appeared in his hand and he gulped it down as well.
Nux and his women did nothing but watch him do whatever he wanted with a smile on their faces.
It was as if they were waiting for something.
This confused Evane and Arvina a lot.
“So? Shall we discuss how things are going to change after today?”
When Eliyard was finally done with everything and was now standing on his two legs, Nux questioned.
Eliyard smiled.
“Ah, sure. Of course, I am your slave now, you could tell me whatever you want. I will make sure…”
Eliyard started walking towards the doors while talking, making it look as natural as possible.
Arvina panicked when he was near the doors, however, suddenly,
“…all you have to do is give the ord- AAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!”
Eliyard shrieked in agony.
“You thought of running away, didn’t you?”
Nux chuckled.
