🎉🎉BAMN: Chapter 185/188

Chapter 185: Humiliated Frey

"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.)

Chapter 186: Submission

"Reparations..."

Frey took a deep breath, tightening the cloak wrapped around her.

Hmm, this cloak was indeed a bit thick.

"Having become your Dependent, I have no ability to resist you."

Frey acknowledged this defeat. "Instead of talking about reparations, wouldn't it be simpler to directly occupy the Harpy Queendom of Fulbrosia?"

Even the Sky Queen herself had been subdued by Rin.

Would it be difficult to conquer the Harpy Queendom of Fulbrosia again?

The simplest way was to have Frey return to the Harpy Queendom of Fulbrosia.

In this way, the Harpy Queendom of Fulbrosia would become a force remotely controlled by Rin.

"No."

Rin said, "Currently, I cannot yet contend with a True Demon Lord, nor do I want to be exposed to the Western nations and the Empire."

Of course, Rin had the confidence to not fear threats.

Why did he want Artoria to unleash the Star Holy Sword?

The battle with Frey was destined to be undisguised.

Instead of passively accepting investigations, it was better to openly step onto the stage.

The Golden Tree constructed by the Star Holy Sword had power comparable to a Unique Skill.

Rin used this to tell all those who coveted that he held a power that could make any force hesitate.

No matter who wanted to covet, they would have to face the judgment of the Star Holy Sword.

"Once I control the Harpy Queendom of Fulbrosia, the land of the Great Jura Forest, plus the territory of the Harpy Queendom of Fulbrosia."

"Such a vast territory would be too conspicuous."

Therefore, Rin would not take down the Harpy Queendom of Fulbrosia now, and likely not in the future either.

Instead of managing such a large country himself, Rin preferred Frey to continue serving as the Queen of the Harpy Queendom of Fulbrosia.

"My subjects are all monsters I personally named."

"The demi-humans and humans of the Harpy Queendom of Fulbrosia have nothing to do with me, and I don't plan to manage them."

Why should he bother himself with the daily lives of tens of millions of people?

Was he bored?

Instead of being an emperor who personally handled everything, Rin preferred his current life.

"You, are you willing to let me go back?"

"Not let go, but dispatch."

Rin said, "From the moment you became my Dependent, we were bound together."

"Tsk!"

Frey said, "You forced this upon me, yet you speak so grandiosely. You are truly despicable!"

"This is the price for you arbitrarily becoming my enemy!"

Rin said, "Don't tell me you don't acknowledge it."

"..."

The defeated must be prepared to pay the price.

In the world of monsters, it's survival of the fittest.

If you do not want to be killed, you naturally have to pay the price.

Fortunately, Rin's conditions were acceptable to Frey. "I will be a good puppet queen."

"It's not that extreme."

"The fact that you are my Dependent is strictly private. I won't tell anyone else besides my other Dependents."

"Furthermore..."

Rin smiled. "You must have felt it, right? That brand new power?"

"How did you do it?"

Frey knew what Rin was referring to.

The magicules that had grown to 990,000, yet remained stable.

The Unique Skill, Hunter.

And Magicules Solidification, a skill that Frey found inconceivable.

To be honest, Frey found Rin increasingly unfathomable, only feeling that he was incredibly mysterious.

His origin.

Where he found such powerful Dependent members as Artoria and Snow Empress.

All of this was continuously attracting Frey, making her want to investigate thoroughly.

"As my Dependent, I cannot show favoritism."

Rin raised his finger and gently tapped Frey's forehead.

"This!"

Instantly, Frey's pupils constricted, and she stood dumbfounded, shocked by the knowledge that appeared in her mind.

"Incredible!"

Frey finally understood the source of Rin's power.

She also no longer resisted being defeated by him, or even submitting to him.

Otherworld, traversing different universes, acquiring power systems from other worldviews, and then optimizing them in the Cardinal World...

If it meant following such a person, Frey felt that this was not a disaster at all, but rather a stroke of good fortune.

"To date, I have explored four universes."

"But this is just the beginning."

"Follow me, and you will see a much vaster world!"

Rin revealed his grand blueprint to Frey, making the Sky Queen realize the true potential of her future master.

"I understand."

Frey lowered her head and said earnestly, "From now on, I will be your helper. I only hope you will treat me and my fellow Harpies well."

"Not including demi-humans and humans?"

"I also have my selfish motives."

Frey said, "If I cannot even protect my own kind, what right do I have to hope for more?"

"Tsk, as expected of you."

"In any case, welcome to the fold, Frey."

Rin extended his hand to Frey and helped her up from the ground. "Soon you will understand what a correct choice it was to follow me."

In fact, she did not need to wait, even now, Frey already felt it.

Having received her first benefit, Frey had considerable confidence in becoming a True Demon Lord.

The only problem was when Rin would awaken as a Demon Lord.

The two of them did not mention compensation again.

Since Frey had already submitted, the Harpy Queendom of Fulbrosia naturally became Rin's private property, remotely controlled by him.

Since it was all his own, there was no need to exploit it too much.

"By the way, you should be able to prepare for the awakening ceremony now, right?"

Frey put forward her idea, suggesting, "How about Sorcerous Dynasty of Sarion? Their population definitely meets your needs!"

"You really are..."

Rin did not know how to complain about Frey anymore. "You adapted quickly enough."

"Otherwise?"

Frey was very pragmatic.

Especially after confirming that Rin would not force her to do things she was unwilling to do.

Such as serving him in bed, or being humiliated, and so on.

As soon as she understood this, Frey immediately regained her composure as a queen.

As for the matter of Sorcerous Dynasty of Sarion...

Frey's original goal was to form an alliance with Rin.

The current situation was merely a shift from seeking Rin's cooperation to working for Rin.

What a pity.

Frey thought to herself, If I had met him earlier, I might not have ended up like this.

If she had known earlier that Rin had such great potential, Frey would have definitely sought him out immediately to join forces with him.

Unfortunately, Frey discovered it too late.

Many unpleasant things had happened between them before, causing Frey to start one step lower than other subordinates.

Chapter 187: Peace Loving Rin

"What do you think?"

Frey said, "With our strength, the Sorcerous Dynasty of Sarion is definitely not an opponent."

Rin's high-end combat power included Artoria, Snow Empress, and her, who had semi-awakened.

In terms of military, the Harpy Queendom of Fulbrosia, if it went all out, could even produce an army of a million.

"I don't plan to attack other forces for now."

Rin did not hide his thoughts, stating directly, "Firstly, doing so would easily make me a target of public criticism, and secondly, there's no need to do so."

"I can understand the first reason."

If the monsters in the Great Jura Forest actively invaded the Sorcerous Dynasty of Sarion, regardless of who won or lost, future diplomatic issues would definitely become very troublesome.

The surrounding countries would guard against Rin and would also be extremely afraid of him.

This was not what Rin wanted to see.

"But what does the latter mean?"

Frey asked, "What do you mean, there's no need?"

"Because I have more than one option."

Rin explained, "You know, I can go to other worlds."

"Just imagine, among so many worlds, isn't there one where a large number of souls can be collected?"

"With me having the ability to open the doors to infinite worlds, why should I be fixated on the small plot of land in the Cardinal World?"

Besides that, not causing trouble in the Cardinal World had another advantage.

That was, even if Rin launched a war of aggression, it would happen in other worlds.

"In the Cardinal World, my self-positioning is that I am peace-loving and do not actively invade others," Rin said, "but when provoked, I will retaliate with a thunderous blow."

"I see."

Frey felt that Rin had great foresight.

Develop discreetly in the Cardinal World, and act wantonly in other universes.

"So, have you found it?"

"Hehehe..."

Perhaps accustomed to Rin's gentle demeanor, seeing him suddenly laugh, Frey immediately realized she had gone too far.

"S-sorry..."

Such a question was not something she, as a new addition, could ask.

"Alright, Frey, you should go back first."

Rin did not keep Frey, he needed Frey to return safely to appease the forces watching this side.

Frey also needed to stabilize the situation in the Harpy Queendom of Fulbrosia.

"As long as you perform well, I will perform the awakening ceremony for you."

Rin said, "As my subordinate, it would be too demeaning if you don't even have the strength of a True Demon Lord."

"Yes!"

Receiving Rin's promise, Frey was delighted and also became more cautious.

Thus, Frey left Rin's base camp and sped toward the Harpy Queendom of Fulbrosia at the fastest possible speed.

Frey moved very quickly, even directly shattering space and returning to the capital of the Harpy Queendom of Fulbrosia through dimensional leaps.

The entire process took no more than ten seconds.

It showed how seriously Frey was committed to quelling the turmoil in the Harpy Queendom of Fulbrosia as soon as possible.

"Hmm?"

However, as soon as Frey returned to her palace, she immediately saw a familiar short figure.

"Ah!! Frey!!"

"You're back~"

Seeing Frey descend from the sky, Milim immediately rushed over. "I came to play with you!"

"I heard from your subordinates that you were beaten, is that true?"

Milim showed her two small fangs. "Do you want me to help you beat them back?"

Although she knew Milim had a good relationship with her, Frey was still a little touched that she came to see her at this time.

Unfortunately, Frey did not know about the Golden Tree.

Milim's visit here was partly to check on her, but more importantly, she wanted to know the location of the guy who caused such a commotion.

As for her subordinates saying she was beaten...

Damn it! Who was it?

Frey asked Milim somewhat angrily, and the girl described the other party's appearance.

Luchia?

Well, it was indeed Frey's right-hand woman.

Frey could imagine why Luchia told Milim about the matter.

Seriously.

Frey was very helpless, because Luchia told Milim the truth to save her.

"Frey, Frey, do you know?"

"That Golden Tree, with a whoosh, covered the sky."

The more Milim spoke, the more excited she became, already eager to find Rin and have a showdown with him.

Milim wants to go fight Rin?

Hearing this news, Frey immediately became extremely anxious.

Even the information about the Golden Tree, which she was very interested in, was temporarily put aside.

"Rin, there's something to report to you."

Without hesitation, Frey immediately conveyed the news that Milim had appeared here and wanted to go spar with Rin.

At this moment, Frey had no expectation of retaliating against Rin whatsoever.

Instead, she was incredibly fearful, deeply afraid that Rin would be harmed because of this.

This was not to say that Frey had fallen in love with Rin.

Rather, their current relationship was that of a community of shared destiny.

The subordinate contract was absolute.

No matter how powerful Milim was, she was only strong in destructive power, it was impossible for her to help Frey break the contract.

If Rin was injured in this process, what good would it do Frey?

Moreover, Frey was not a fickle person.

She had her own beliefs and judgment.

Rin was someone worth investing in.

So, even to prove that she hadn't misjudged him, Frey would not allow anyone to hinder Rin's progress.

"Milim is coming to find me?!"

At the same time, Rin, who was playing with Ogerpon, was truly startled to hear such news.

At first, Rin thought Frey was causing trouble.

But after sharing Frey's memories, Rin found that this matter really had nothing to do with her.

Milim's appearance there was purely a coincidence.

"Milim, ah..."

Through telepathic communication, Rin and Frey's thoughts were accelerated to an incredibly terrifying degree.

"Now is not the time to meet her."

Rin was not afraid of Milim.

If Rimuru in the original work could subdue Milim, Rin could naturally do the same.

Delicious food, manga, hot springs, various games...

Handling a young girl with incomplete mental development was easy, wasn't it?

It's just that this timing is indeed not very good.

According to Rin's plan, he intended to make contact with Demon Lords like Milim and Guy after he became a True Demon Lord and obtained an Ultimate Skill.

Milim's danger level was indeed not high.

But this kind of situation where his life was not his own, and having to curry favor with a little girl, made Rin a bit uncomfortable.

(To be continued.)

Chapter 188: Milim Handled

"You..."

And just as Rin was thinking, Frey said, "You seem reluctant to see her?"

"Hmm?"

Rin raised an eyebrow, hearing Frey's implied meaning. "You have a way?"

"Yes."

Frey said confidently, "If you are willing to trust me, I can delay Milim for a while."

To increase Rin's regard for her and to make up for the previous unpleasantness, Frey had to seize the opportunity before her.

"That's enough!"

Rin admired Frey even more. As expected of the Sky Queen, her change of stance was indeed quick.

"In five days at most, I'll be able to find a suitable world."

Five days later, the Void Ark's cooldown would end, and Rin would embark on a journey to a new world.

And this time, Rin's goal was very clear, a world with a large number of unclaimed souls.

"By then..."

Rin was a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and grudges.

Frey had offended him, and he had forcibly captured her.

Now that she had rendered service, Rin would not forget her efforts. "I will make you a True Demon Lord!"

"!!!"

Rin's words truly struck a chord with Frey.

Indeed, following the right boss was far better than simply working hard.

Look, something that could not be advanced in six hundred years.

Just a few days after joining Rin, there was hope.

"Please rest assured and leave it to me."

After ending her telepathic conversation with Rin, Frey looked at Milim and said, "I do know where the person you're looking for is."

"Really?!"

Milim's eyes lit up. As expected of Frey, she was amazing.

"However, I'm sorry, I can't tell you for now."

"Why?!"

Milim pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction.

"Don't be angry yet, listen to me patiently."

Frey said, "If you think what I said is wrong, then I will tell you the person's location."

Seeing that Milim was willing to listen to her finish, Frey then said, "Your purpose should be to fight them, right?"

"But..."

Before Milim could nod, Frey immediately said, "Is it really appropriate for you to go there now?"

"What?"

Milim tilted her head, looking puzzled.

"They just fought a battle with me and haven't recovered yet."

Frey understood Milim very well and had her completely under her thumb. "If you go there like this, not only will you not get the intense battle you want, but you will also be accused of winning unfairly."

"Then, what should I do?"

Milim was very strong, virtually the Cardinal World's favored daughter and its ceiling.

But her weaknesses were also very obvious.

That is, many tactics aimed at children could cause considerable harm to Milim.

For example, now.

How could the proud Milim do something that took advantage of someone's vulnerability?

"At least let them rest for a while, right?"

"This..."

Milim felt that what Frey said made so much sense that she could not refute it at all.

"How about this?"

Seeing this, Frey changed the subject and smiled, "I'll go negotiate with them, then arrange a time for you two to meet."

"As for this period, you can stay here with me and wait for their reply."

"Mm, mm!"

"I'll listen to you, Frey!"

Milim was completely unaware that Frey had her in her grasp, only thinking that Frey was so smart.

As expected of the woman I acknowledge.

Milim was full of confidence. I have my strategist Frey, who is unfailingly resourceful.

Next, Frey had people bring food to entertain Milim.

The high-ranking officials of the Harpy Queendom of Fulbrosia were both surprised and delighted by Frey's safe return.

Surprised that the Queen had actually returned.

Delighted that it was a good thing the Queen had returned.

Originally, everyone had even prepared themselves for the Queen's demise.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn.

As expected of their Queen.

Even when facing such might, the Golden Tree, she could return unharmed.

During this time, some people proposed reassembling the army to seek revenge on Rin and the Tengu Clan.

As for the result...

Naturally, Frey flatly refused, stating that the two sides had already concluded a peace agreement and would no longer engage in conflict.

"Luchia, are the supplies ready?"

The next day, Frey summoned Luchia to inquire about the war reparations.

Rin did not care about the war reparations.

But Frey still proactively brought it up.

"They are ready."

"It's just..."

Luchia said with some difficulty, "Won't this be a bit too much?"

Although this batch of supplies was not crippling to the Harpy Queendom of Fulbrosia.

But for Luchia, who managed internal affairs.

To watch her own good things being given to others, the girl truly felt pained.

"Luchia, you are the person I trust most, so I'm only telling you this one thing."

Frey naturally would not tell Luchia about her relationship with Rin.

Any secret, once a third person knows it, is no longer a secret.

Rin and his retainers certainly would not reveal Frey's identity.

But others could not be guaranteed.

"You..."

Luchia worried, "Did they do something to you?"

"Don't overthink it, I'm fine."

Frey suppressed the bitterness in her heart and pretended to be relaxed. "This war was an aggression initiated by us."

"The other party is very strong, and I am not their opponent."

Ever since she learned about the Star Holy Sword and the Golden Tree, Frey's acceptance of her defeat became much easier.

After all, anyone who had seen the Golden Tree would not mock Frey.

Let alone Frey, even a True Demon Lord.

Taking such an attack head-on would result in death or severe injury.

Frey, who was not a True Demon Lord, being able to return alive was already very impressive.

Some even thought that Frey had completed her awakening.

Well, who that person, Clayman, referred to, will not be mentioned.

"He let me go."

Frey continued, "You say, if I just accepted it so frankly, wouldn't I be too shameless?"

A shameless person might say, You let me go, what a fool.

But Frey was clearly not capable of that level.

"I understand."

Luchia said, "Your giving reparations to the other party means that you do not accept his favor."

The favor of letting Frey return, the Harpy Queendom of Fulbrosia had already repaid.

Next time they met, they would still be enemies.

Similarly, if Frey could defeat Rin, she would not need to show mercy because of this matter and could directly kill him.

"Exactly, that's it!"

Frey's delicate brows raised slightly, very satisfied with Luchia's overthinking.

(To be continued.)
