Bargain

“W-wait!”, I shouted. But the only reaction to that was a hand grabbing my dick. “You don't have to do this!”

That at least got a reply. “Oh, we know”, followed by a quiet chuckle. “But we want to.” Your debasement amuses us.”

Slowly the hand was starting to move, stimulating my, already very erect, dick.

“J-Just kill me, instead! If its money, you want. I can pay you!”

This time she laughed. “We will already gain all your possessions by turning you into our thrall. Your proper place is at our feet, pet.”

My Queen was now working my shaft with more intensity. She wasn’t particularly good at it, moving it up and down with little regard for me. But even so, my erection was slowly but surely building.

I had to act fast.

I took a deep breath. “If you turn me into a **** you will have a bad time.”

“Will we now?” My Queen chuckled. “And why is that?”

“I..I am friends with Sylphid and Valkyrie. I also know a Devil and have ties to Rasheuls criminal underworld.”

She stopped.

I opened my eyes. Keeping them closed was pointless anyways. “They will come after you. And once they do you better hope you haven’t done anything to me.”

To speak to my Queen in such a way. It felt tremendously insolent. My entire body was rebelling. But I couldn’t let that stop me.

My Queen exchanged a look with her snake. The snake almost seemed to have a worried look in his eyes.

“How pathetic”, my Queen finally spat. “You are unable to defeat us on your own, so you threaten us with your allies? Do you have no shame?”

She was not wrong.

A week ago, the notion that I would plead for my freedom like this would have struck me as utterly pathetic. Pretty much unthinkable.

But that was before I had someone to fight for. I have no qualms with humiliating myself if it means protecting my girls.

“I’m not expecting you to lose.” I looked my bully in the eyes. “All I'm asking is that you kill me. We both know that I don’t matter to you. Please. You have won. Just let me go.”

My Queen’s face twisted in a furious grimace. “How dare you!” You miserable wretch! How dare you! You are not worthy of being my thrall!”

I heard the sound of crackling and less then a second later a powerful shock ran through my body. My few braincells that where still operational told me that I was in the process of getting electrocuted.

My suffering continued a little while longer and then...

“The victory is Hebi-san!”, Ben announced, as I finally and slowly opened my eyes.

Hebi-san was standing there, not sparing me a single look.

My whole body felt extremely weak and sluggish. Even more so then a few seconds ago. Was that the feeling you got from being resurrected? What should I do now? I don’t think I can get up. I didn’t need to ponder it very long as I was teleported away directly into a bed.

Was this the...infirmary? A nurse quickly approached me and informed me that my current feeling of exhaustion was completely normal and that I should just stay in bed for the next hour or so.

I gave a weak nod and sighed.

It was over. Huh?

But I wasn't allowed to enjoy that tranquility for very long.

“Marriii!”, the familiar voice of my catgirl penetrated my ears. Soon followed by Aiju jumping on the bed and hugging me. I wasn't injured but still...

“You alright? Not hurt?”, Aiju asked, looking at my worried.

“My Lord!”, the second to enter was Sanakia panting heavily. Thankfully she refrained from joining Aiju on my stomach. “Are you...unharmed?”

“Y...Yes…” I did feel rather weak though.

“Course he is.” That one was Fisti. She was piggyback carrying Beatrice, for some reason, who gave me her usual smug grin.

“I must say, I am impressed. I personally could never lower myself to grovel so pathetically. Good job. As a reward I won't even punish you. Brutally.”

This little brat.

“Where is Cassandra?”, I asked.

“Lady Cassandra choose to remain in the tower. You are still allowed to make use of it until the tournament is over.” This was Maria who brought up the rear. It was a rather rare scene to see her somewhat out of breath. “She did wish to congratulate you though for losing splendidly.”

Well, Cassandra always suggested I should try to drop out. So that reaction isn’t too surprising.

“How dare she“, Sanakia snarled. “Our Lord has suffered grievous harm and she dares to stay behind?”

“I..it's fine”, I replied with a grunt, trying to get up, much to Aiju's chagrin.

“Please don't exert yourself, Master Beta. It will take approximately one hour until your body has regained its vigor.”

“I...see.” I let myself get pushed back down on the bed by Aiju. Right, there was no reason to rush after all.

“Incidentally, this also ends my service to you.” Maria bowed. “It was an honor to serve you, Master Beta.”

“Oh.” I nodded “It wasn't long, but I thank you for everything.”

“It was my pleasure. “Maria smiled. “If you excuse me then.” She bowed one last time just like that she disappeared.

“Pretty cold hearted lass”, Fisti commented with a grumble as she finally put Beatrice down. “Could have at least stayed until yer out of bed.”

“I concur! But my Lord! What happens now?”

“Now?” I laughed and petted Aiju. “For now I just want to rest.”
