Thanks for reading~
The demon king castle is overgrown with traitors, so I need to do a major cleanup.
I first aimed at the snow leopard race, because they were being the most outrageous by trying to revolt.
I was going to make a blood festival out of the ringleader, but their plans, methods and just everything is too crude that I feel let down.
Honestly, they"re insane.
Although they did make some simple concealments just in case, there"s definitely something wrong with them considering they were digging the tunnel in broad daylight.
Well, it just goes to show how much they underestimate Eve.
That needs to be fixed, or else other races will start to cause revolts too.
I caught the snow leopard woman that was in charge of the tunnel digging.
It"s good that she"s a beautiful, human-like woman. If she had a leopard"s head, even I wouldn"t do it.
I can enjoy torturing her.
I punched the screaming snow leopard woman to silence her and took her to the special room in the dungeon.
It"s a dungeon full of toys.
I already made Setsuna and Kureha return, since I don"t want them to see me playing with her.
Just in case, I did ask her to be honest with me, but she didn"t say anything so I reluctantly started interrogating her.
I tried out all the toys in the room on her.
Some of them were handmade, so it was exciting to try out each one.
Doing this has other benefits too.
Just like how I want to embrace mature women from time to time, Setsuna and the others would lose interest if there"s never any change.
And so, toys are perfect for adding changes.
But I needed to try out the toys because I wouldn"t have known if the girls would like it or not.
Since they"re too obedient, they say it feels good even if it doesn"t or even if it hurts.
That"s not good. So, I"m trying them out since I have someone to torture.
It doesn"t matter if these toys break so I can use them as hard as I want.
After half a day, she fainted with a vacant expression while spilling drool and all sorts of other fluids.
I guess this is enough for today.
She probably can"t even talk properly, so I"ll come again tomorrow.
Four days have pa.s.sed since I started trying to persuade her.
She was quite tight-lipped, so the interrogation dragged on. Well, I did other necessary things to corner the snow leopard race too.
I already got information about the other cooperating races and made this woman call them.
All of those fools got tricked by that, so I captured them all and put them in a different prison.
Unfortunately, all the messengers from the other races were all men so I couldn"t play with them.
I quickly made them take drugs to tell me everything, and made my pets take care of them until their turn came.
I"ve come to the dungeon today as well.
As I sit down on a chair and cross my legs, the naked snow leopard woman came, took off my shoes and socks without saying anything and started cleaning my toes with her tongue.
Her tail was swinging from excitement for what"s about to happen.
I"ve gotten pretty good at using the toys too. I can train her without relying on drugs.
This time, I tried using my brainwas.h.i.+ng and medical techniques.
I was pretty good at both of them.
With【Recovery Heal】, I found out her weak spots, and intently teased only those parts.
Then, I tried out brainwas.h.i.+ng. By doing it over and over again, she became my puppet.
"So, do you feel like talking now?" (Kearuga)
"Yes, master, I will talk about anything." (Snow leopard woman)
She looked at me with l.u.s.t-filled eyes.
Letting me play with her is no longer interrogation, but a reward for her.
"Fumu, then tell me everything about the snow leopard race"s plan." (Kearuga)
"Immediately. The truth is…" (Snow leopard woman)
The plan almost went exactly how I thought it would be.
It matches what I heard from the guys that were thrown in the other prison. No one told any lies.
There"s no difference to the fragmentary bits I heard when the brainwas.h.i.+ng was imperfect, either.
Once she finished telling me everything, she started sorrowfully rubbing her face against the place women want the most.
It"s strange, because she looks cute when she"s like this.
Well, I"m not going to give her love or have her join us.
It"s just, having a mature, beautiful woman I can do whenever I want, is good.
"I want you to do something for me. Don"t you think the snow leopard race"s sins should be atoned for?" (Kearuga)
"Of course. For the sake of peace between demons. Please let me help you as much as I can, direct knight of the demon king." (Snow leopard woman)
I was going to dispose of her once I finished using her, but keeping her would probably be better so that I can play with her whenever I return to the demon king castle.
That all depends on today though.
In this castle, there"s a council called the ten race council, which is carried out by the ten races that have the most power in the current demon king regime, where Eve can make the final decision.
I"m also partic.i.p.ating in this place where the representatives of the ten races are reporting to Eve.
I listen to the chiefs reporting with their heads down
There wasn"t anything important, and Eve acknowledged them one after the other.
"Demon king Eve Reese-sama, this is everything for today"s case. Now, let us-." (Demon)
"No, there"s something I want to talk about today. Everyone, stay here for a while longer." (Eve)
The ten chiefs become suspicious from hearing Eve"s words.
"This is the peace we finally obtained through defeating the previous demon king. And yet, there were some rude people that tried to destroy that out of their own selfishness, so I will have their race come off the ten race council. The chief and the others in important positions will be executed, and their whole race will be driven away to a pioneering village." (Eve)
The chiefs started panicking.
Many of them had a rough idea of which race it was.
"Demon king Eve Reese-sama, which race will be exiled?" (Demon)
"The snow leopard race. They were planning a rebellion with the ground monkey and armour machine race that had power in the previous demon king"s reign. They were even trying to make an underground tunnel to drag those two in. That is unpardonable." (Eve)
Everyone here looked at the snow leopard race"s chief.
"That is not true. We were only working on repairing the castle walls. Despite that, we received a report that the direct knight of the demon king over there, unreasonably attacked us! This is too excessive of an accusation." (Snow leopard chief)
I knew this was coming too.
The snow leopard race knows that I attacked the guys who were digging the tunnel.
It"s been four days since then. They probably did their best to destroy the evidence and think of an excuse.
Well, I came here to corner them.
I click my fingers.
Then, the soldiers of the demon king army bring along the people of the ground monkey and armour machine race.
They"re the ones that were called by the snow leopard woman.
"Chief of the snow leopard race, Sulno. Do you recognise these people?" (Kearuga)
"I don"t know them." (Sulno)
"I see, then do you guys know this man?" (Kearuga)
The men of the ground monkey and armour machine race point at Sulno.
"I know him! That guy made an offer to us! He said we could take back our former power!" (Demon)
"Us, too. Weapons, food give, creep in castle, promise." (Demon)
They said that the snow leopard race made the offer and planned to kill the demon king.
It was all in detail, about the snow leopard"s cajolement, the aid they received, the rich towns in the demon king territory, the plans to make looting them easy and so on.
They were all things everyone in this place had ideas of.
Especially the attacks from the previous demon king, as they always aimed at when the security would be low.
Drugs are easier.
It took three days to make that woman obedient, but only one hour for these guys.
"The ground monkey and armour machine race are under my control. I have a lot of evidence that has to do with the snow leopard race too. Should I line them up for you here? Or do you still intend on saying that it is an accusation?" (Kearuga)
I didn"t spend the four days just training the woman.
These guys are already being held down.
To erase the evidence, the snow leopard race cut all contact with other races, so they didn"t realise it.
"That"s, that"s all made up! That man there must have told them to say it to frame me." (Sulno)
"I still have more evidence if you want." (Kearuga)
I click my fingers, and the snow leopard woman I trained, came out.
Sulno"s face became stiff.
He probably thought I killed her.
"Our snow leopard race has done something unforgivable. Thanks to the direct knight of the demon king, Kearugsama, I was able to remember what justice is. I will now talk about everything." (Snow leopard woman)
She confessed everything.
"That is also made up." (Sulno)
This is getting hard to watch.
I still have another hand to play. The chief of a different race raised his hand.
"We declined, but the snow leopard race did indeed try to make us join their revolt. I thought it was a joke back then, but it seems he was being serious." (Demon)
"We also know something about it. The snow leopard race was in charge of the security for the village that was attacked last month." (Demon)
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You sold us out!" (Sulno)
It"s decided.
The other chiefs started blaming the snow leopard race.
I somehow endure laughing.
This is actually something I prepared too. In return for overlooking them, I told the people who committed minor sins, to blame the snow leopard race.
I also told them I would announce their sins and exile them if they opposed me.
Although the snow leopard race expected me to accuse them, they didn"t think the other nine races would attack them too.
"It"s decided. I order you under demon king Eve Reese"s name. The snow leopard race will be exiled to a remote, pioneering village. Chief Sulno and the other people in important positions, will be executed through granbelk." (Eve)
Multiple people turned pale from hearing granbelk.
It"s the most gruesome form of execution in the demon king territory.
I"ve seen it one time before.
Like this, the snow leopard race"s judgement was decided.
As for the woman who repented by honestly saying everything, she"s going to remain in the demon king castle.
Ravis.h.i.+ng her is perfect if I want a change of pace.
I"ll take out my pent-up anger on these pigs.
The next day, granbelk had started at once.
Many demons had come to see the snow leopards get executed through granbelk in the castle town for their sins.
In the castle town, there"s an execution site with a huge jail you can see from outside.
Demon dog Gran is in that jail.
Then, naked people of the snow leopard race were thrown in there with their hands tied together.
All their teeth were broken off so they wouldn"t be able to bite off their tongues.
Eve rose onto a platform.
"The judgement of the people who tried to destroy this peace will now begin. Sear the sight of these offenders in your eyes." (Eve)
Demon dog Gran rushed at the snow leopard race.
It ripped off and ate them, starting from the legs.
Screams resound in the jail.
The pain and fear of being eaten alive are tremendous.
A dog is going to eat and kill them.
It"s cruel, but you wouldn"t think this is the most gruesome execution.
However, demon dog Gran has a terrifying trait.
It licks the wounds once it eats to some extent, which makes the blood stop coming out.
Then, demon dog Gran put its tongue into the snow leopards" mouths to make them drink something, and started napping.
"Eve, how long does this go on for?" (Kearuga)
"Around two weeks, since demon dog Gran doesn"t eat much." (Eve)
Demon dog Gran preciously ate the prey it was given, little by little.
Furthermore, it kept them alive to keep the freshness.
When demon dog Gran licks wounds, the blood stops.
The paralysis poison it made them swallow made the snow leopard race unable to even budge, and suppressed their metabolism to the limit so that they wouldn"t die through starvation or dehydration.
It eats them little by little over a period of two weeks.
There"s no crueller execution method than this.
The snow leopard race tried to kill Eve, so they deserve it.
Eve has a pale face. I take her to a deserted place where no one can see her, and she starts breathing roughly while sweating from her forehead.
"Do you not feel good?" (Kearuga)
"I didn"t really want to use this execution method. My relatives were done in by this, after all." (Eve)
"Sorry, I shouldn"t have ordered you to kill them in a cruel way." (Kearuga)
I embrace Eve.
Eve leans her face into my chest.
"It"s okay, as long as we don"t have to kill any more people. I can endure this much." (Eve)
"Yeah, you won"t have to. No one will make light of you and think you"re a girl that doesn"t understand anything." (Kearuga)
By showing them the snow leopard race"s plans were all leaked, everyone will realise that we"ve seen through them.
And we even showed them that Eve won"t hesitate to execute someone if necessary.
If they still plan on causing a revolt, they"re either extremely stupid or have enough confidence in themselves to do it without anyone realising.
In the case of the latter, I can take care of it.
"Now, let"s go home. I"ll comfort you on top of the bed." (Kearuga)
"Kearuga, that"s all you think about!" (Eve)
"Do you dislike it?" (Kearuga)
"No, I don"t dislike it. Give me plenty of love today." (Eve)
Of course, that"s what I was planning to do.
I"ll pour plenty of it in Eve today.
A tingling current runs across my neck.
… This usually means something is going to happen. I"ll be more careful than usual.
