Sins Paradise: Domination System

"Is that a magic item?" Emilia asked as she looked at the two spies who were screaming uncontrollably and began to spasm.

"Yes." I replied as I approached them, holding two [Truth Potions] with their lid open in my free hand.

Only 3 seconds had passed. The magic item from Horizon Online seemed to have a greater effect than I initially thought.

At first, a minute seemed to be a good time to break their minds enough to make them confess with [Truth Potion]. But looking at them like this, maybe 20 seconds were enough?

"Help me feed this to these guys. This is to make them honest."

"Alright."

I handed the potions to Emilia, and she skillfully fed them into their mouths. The tube was small, so it was easy to make them gulp the liquid.

Surprisingly, the effect kicked in almost immediately, even in their dream.

"I am sorry! I am sorry! Please forgive me! I have no choice. No! No! I-I don't want to be locked in!"

It was the girl, Tasia. Listening to her words, Emilia backed away a little while I stroked my chin. Interestingly, her biggest fear was being jailed. Maybe getting information from her would be easier.

Compared to her, Agares' nightmare seemed to be far worse.

"Aahh… Ah!"

He didn't say anything and only writhed in pain.

"N-No. F-F-Forgive me! I-I can't! I can't tell you anything! Killed… I will be killed!"

He was afraid to be killed even when he could revive in the church. Or rather, maybe the mastermind behind him had the revival chamber so he couldn't escape? If that were the case, the mastermind would be able to kill him every time he revived.

"Hmm…" I hummed.

10 seconds had passed, and Agares didn't say anything more while Tasia held her head and curled up into a ball. Her tears came out like a waterfall, wetting her face and collar.

I took out a rope from my inventory and handed it to my lovely assistant.

"Emilia, tie Agares with this."

"Yes."

I handed it to her, and she began to work without asking anything. A normal rope wouldn't be able to tie people in this world. It would just snap under their strength. Even Level 5 newbies could escape if they were tied by a normal rope.

However, the rope I handed to Emilia wasn't a normal one. It was made from a Level 25 monster, Kobold's hair. And I only told Emilia to tie Agares because Tasia might be willing to cooperate easier than that boy.

I stopped the effect of [Nightmare Lamp] and put it back in my inventory when Emilia was done.

I looked at how she tied Agares and smiled bitterly. She tied him in a tight binding, with his hands and legs put together behind his body. It was the Japanese technique called Kinbaku, often used in S&M videos.

Well… I shouldn't do something like that with Emilia. I wasn't a masochist. Rather, if she wanted to be tied up, I would be willing to do it for her.

Anyway, let's focus.

Once I deactivated [Nightmare Lamp], Agares passed out immediately. His eyes rolled back, showing only the white part.

Meanwhile, Tasia was hugging her legs and jolted up. Once she saw my face, she jumped back in fear.

"Hiee! F-Forgive me! Please don't put me in jail!"

Her body shivered like a small animal trying to escape predators as she put her back in the corner of the counseling room.

"Forgive me! Forgive me! Don't hurt me!"

She was like a broken record.

However, I didn't care. She could still talk, so she would still be able to answer my question. I approached her, and she curled up smaller.

"Hey." I called out to her, causing her to bury her face in her knees.

'This won't work.'

It seemed like I broke her too much. No choice, then. Violence was it.

I crouched in front of her and grabbed her hair, pulling her face up.

"Look at me when I am talking to you, you little shit. Or I will put you through that misery again."

"F-Forgive me! P-Please… I-I will do anything. Don't do that, please!" She pleaded sincerely as her tears and snot dripped out.

That was nasty. She looked so ugly now, unlike when she first entered this room. And at that moment, I heard a notification.

[Ding! You had threatened a citizen of Virtue Kingdom! Your Sins increased by 1!]

[You won't gain Sins from threatening a citizen of Virtue Kingdom again!]

Welp, it looked like it increased by one. While that wasn't my intention, I smiled at an unexpected bonus.

I continued the interrogation. It was time for a question.

"Answer her question, and you will be fine," I pointed at Emilia, who was standing behind me with her arms crossed beneath her breasts, pushing them up. "Or should I be the one who questioned you, huh?"

"N-No! P-Please. I will answer all of teacher Emilia's questions! Please don't hit me!"

"Great." I released her hair and stood up, turning around. "It's your turn, Emilia," I whispered as I passed her.

"Please leave it to me." Emilia nodded and crouched in front of Tasia, questioning her.

We worked together. This was all planned beforehand.

For the starter, I would break their mind with [Nightmare Lamp]. Then I would threaten one with a weaker heart like earlier. Afterward, it was Emilia's turn to ask them questions with a gentler tone than mine.

Of course, Emilia already looked scary with her sharp eyes and strict demeanor. But that should be better than me. I had painted myself as someone who didn't even hesitate to raise my hand against her. Tasia would feel that Emilia was far better than me.

Actually, I hoped Rania was already here once I was done breaking their mind. The short-haired knight was gentler, so the spy would cooperate better. But that didn't matter.

'It seems I appeared in her nightmare earlier, enhancing her fear of me. Emilia looked like a Saint compared to me.' I thought as I sat on the chair behind the desk, watching Emilia's exchange with Tasia.

The female spy peeked in my direction now and then between questions and immediately averted her eyes. She was really cooperative with Emilia. It was still stage 1 of interrogation. What a shame.

'People in this world are too weak.'

I rested my chin on my hand. It was a good pass time. At least good enough to make me a bit nostalgic for Horizon Online's atmosphere.

'Well, I should be patient. I will have fun with Emilia earlier. And then–' My lips curled up into a grin as I landed my eyes on Tasia.

Even in the Virtue Kingdom, there was bound to be a greedy individual. No one was truly pure. Garcia was a perfect example of that.

No matter how much they loved charity, greed was bound to grow when they had treasure. It was just human nature.

'I will show the mastermind the consequence for messing with me. Even if they are a noble of this Kingdom.'
