Arpious of the Planes

"EVERYONE! SEIZE THE WEREWOLVES INSIDE THE TOWN BEHIND ME! DO NOT KILL THEM JUST CAPTURE! I REPEAT, DO NOT KILL THEM JUST CAPTURE THEM!" I shout.

They all let out a war cry before I flew over to Mia, who was having a conversation with Akito and his party.

"What are you doing? You're not exempt from helping the army,"

"Forgive us, your highness, we were just congratulating each other on our achievements. I would also like to congratulate you on killing the deer guardian all by yourself," Akito says while kneeling on one knee.

"Stop acting like we're done, the war is done once we capture the werewolves and drayds. I assume the dryads are in the region where the deer guardian resided," I say looking for a certain someone.

"As you wish," Akito replies, gesturing for his party to follow him.

"Mia, you did pretty well. This was the exact reason why I picked you. This currently might not be the same job, but if you can do that speech, you should be fine as the head guild leader in my kingdom," I say with a smile.

"Thank you very much, I do not deserve such praise," Mia says, holding back tears.

It seems she was trying to help out. Even though she was one of the leaders of my kingdom, she was practically a foot soldier at the beginning of the war. She probably thought that she was undeserving of the job unless she proved herself… which she ending up achieving.

"Have you seen Sophia?"

"W-who *sniff* whos Sophia?" Mia barely replies.

"Have you seen anybody with a maid dress?"

"O-oh! Yes, I have. I think I saw her help capture the werewolves," Mia says.

"Thanks, I'll just wait for her at the kingdom. Also, I want you to lead the kingdom back since I need to check up on it. My blood minions are bringing the guardian corpses back, so you don't have to worry about that either," I say before flying up.

As I flew like a bullet through the air, I ordered my blood minions to eat part of the guardian corpses before I check my notifications.

I had some questions about the titles and skills that I acquired, but I decided to save them for later since my kingdom was the main priority.

About 5 minutes passed and the sun was starting to set but I just arrived at my kingdom. There was a mountain of golden mountain bear corpses where a piece of my wall broke. Many builders were already working hard to replace the missing parts.

Thankfully, my kingdom was fine since the wall was made pretty far from my actual kingdom. It had enough space for my kingdom to grow and defend against attacks… but how come the wall broke. Didn't I tell Yin to make sure nobody comes near the wall?

"Oh, Paimon is there," I say after seeing a giant skeleton with 6 arms and 2 massive horns.

I fly over to the broken wall and sense Yin and the assassin corps hiding in the shadows. I overlook it for now since I wanted to ask why Paimon is here.

"MY QUEEN! HUFF HUFF HUFF… This giant skeleton claims to be your servant, is that correct. It might be helping to rebuild the wall, but that doesn't prove anything," Akio says, running up to me.

"Yeah, he's my creation," I say flying on his shoulder.

"OH, MASTER HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?" Paimon asks.

"Just came back from fucking war, well, it was much easier than I expected,"

"HAHAHAHA! AS EXPECTED FROM MY MASTER!" Paimon laughs out loud, startling the builders below.

I told him about my battle with the mountain guardians which didn't surprise him. He said that he already expected this from me.

"Assassin corps, come out," I say coldly.

Yin and the assassin corps all come rising out of the shadows. Yin was fiddling with her hands displaying her nervous demeanor.

"Yin…"

"I-IT WAS HER FAULT! SHE TOOK TO LONG TO REPORT IT!" Yin shouts pointing at Midori.

I glance at Midori who had a face of shock and disgust.

"... *sigh* I'm disappointed. I was going to give you a lighter punishment since I was in a good mood, but you just had to say that. Rember what I said before, 'The leader should take responsibility for the actions of the subordinates.' Also, if they took too long, your training might've not been hard enough," I say staring coldly at Yin.

Yin shrinks back from my cold gaze.

"I-I'm sorry. P-please no punishment. Yin doesn't want punishment," Yin says, holding back tears.

The rest of the assassin corps were flabbergasted by their leader's actions. Their mouths just hung open, taking quick fearful glances at me.

"The rest of the assassin corps will do training with the maids for today. Let me tell you though, my maids shouldn't be underestimated and neither should their training be," I order.

"As you wish," they say before slipping into the shadows.

"Yin follow me," I order.

"Y-yes master,"

…

We were back in the torture room since Yin has nocturnal skills. Though I know she's loyal to me, there is still the chance where her fear takes over and activates the skill. Then it won't be a punishment anymore.

"Yin take all of your clothes off besides your bra and underwear," I order.

She quickly complies and follows my order. She stands against the cold stone wall as I click the chains to her ankles, wrists, and collar. I then place a blindfold around her eyes since I didn't have [Shadow Magic] anymore.

I sat down on the chair behind me and waited.

Her face didn't go through many emotions this time. It was all fear, sadness, and disappointment in herself. I used [Mind Magic] and all I could hear was,

"Master… Master… Master… please don't leave… please stay with Yin…"

…

1 hour should be good.

I take the blindfold off, revealing her tear-dry eyes. They were puffy and red displaying the fear that she felt. I then unchain her causing her to fall to her knees.

"M-master, even though Yin was a bad girl, can she touch you for just one second," Yin says.

"You may,"

Once she heard my confirmation she immediately hugged my legs with a smile. Soon I heard light snores coming from her so I picked her up and gave her to a maid.

"Bring her to her room,"

"As you wish," the maid replies.

…

"Yin still hasn't gotten over her fear of darkness. I thought the berserk crawlers were nocturnal but it seems something happened with her. She even needs to use a skill to let her see in the dark… strange," I rant to my wives.

We just finished doing our nightly routine and we were taking a slight break before fully going to sleep.

"I don't think the Berserk Crawler Queens are nocturnal. They may have the berserk crawler name in their race, but I think they have some differences such as their skills or eyesight. Berserk Crawlers usually have bad eyesight which is why they lash out at mostly everything," Kumo replies.

"I see… Also, golden mountain bears attacked as I assumed, but for some reason, the queen didn't appear, even after asking multiple soldiers and adventurers. She's probably planning something... maybe it was a diversion from her real objective... I guess we'll see later,"

"Do you have to talk out loud?" Aika says.

"Yeah I'm trying to sleep," Homura agrees.

"Alright, alright, lets go to sleep," I say before lying down.

I then open my status window so I can assimilate my new skills.
