Making Larell submit

There was an uncomfortable silence. I wanted to convince Larell to serve me willingly, but I didn't quite know how to start that conversation.

"You seem to really care for her" Larell said finally, gesturing with her head in the direction Lilith had disappeared.

"YES, I DO," I answered, still pondering how to steer the conversation.

"Is that why you raided Amberdew Village? To avenge her suffering?" she asked me in a shaky voice.

"PARTLY. I ALSO WANTED TO ACQUIRE… BREEDING STOCK" I answered the frightened girl, coiling my tentacles in her direction, the silent threat hanging in the air.

She flinched, gulped and took a step back, but didn't get far because of my minion behind her.

"So that's why you kept me here? To savour taking me first without Lilith watching?" she wanted to know, surprisingly calm and composed.

"NO. BECAUSE LILITH LIKES YOU SO MUCH, I WANTED TO MAKE YOU AN OFFER: SERVE ME. AND IN EXCHANGE, I WILL SPARE YOU." I told her.

She laughed without joy.

"Spare me? What would that even mean?” Larell said.

"I have heard of your kind, I know what monsters like you want" she said, gesturing towards my phallic tentacles. "You won't kill me. You won't even harm me much. And if your offer means to use so much aphrodisiac on me that I won't care anymore in which manner I 'serve' you, I don't care for it. You will just have to take me." She continued.

What exactly had happened to her? How was she so calm and so unwilling at the same time? Why were there so little normal girls in this world that cried and screamed and offered everything just to be spared when they saw a tentacle **** monster?!

Oh well, I could have that later on, Beatrice and the others looked like that kind of girl...

"I WANT YOU TO HELP ME RAISE LILITH. AND IF THAT MEANS THAT I CAN’T BREED YOU, THEN THAT’S A SACRIFICE I AM WILLING TO MAKE." I growled.

She blinked.

That wasn't what she had expected, and who could fault her for it? It wasn't every day that you were **** by monsters and brought in front of a giant tentacle-**** minotaur who wanted you as a babysitter... I just hoped the weirdness of the situation wasn't impeding Larell's rational decision-making.

After a short while of thinking, she looked at me again. Finally, she spoke.

"You need me," she said insecurely.

"I BEG YOUR PARDON?!" I replied in consternation.

"You need me," she repeated, more confidently now. "You really care about Lilith, enough to lose a girl you could make into your slut. Which means, you are aware that she needs at least one human around to bond with. A human that hasn't been mindbroken. Ideally, one she knows and likes. Like me."

Apparently I shouldn't have been worried about her rational thinking. She was much too good at it for my taste!

"DON'T OVERESTIMATE YOUR VALUE. I COULD JUST RAID AMBERDEW AGAIN AND FIND ANOTHER GIRL, OR EVEN TAKE ONE FROM ANOTHER VILLAGE." I rumbled, trying to play it cool.

She nodded softly.

"Yes, you could. But you'd have to make her the same offer or find some other kind of leverage. Not to mention that you won't find another living human Lilith likes as much." she elaborated her position. "The only thing you'd accomplish is punishing me, at the cost of Lilith's happiness."

We were both quiet for a moment.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" I asked Larell.

"Don't harm or hurt me. Don't put me in any situation that would harm or hurt me. And don't do anything sexual to me either." she recounted from her head. " I would ask the same for Lilith, but I have a feeling that I don't need to."

"I SWEAR, NEITHER ME NOR ANY OF MINE SHALL EVER KNOWINGLY HARM LILITH FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE." I said, the vow coming easily from my lips.

"AS FOR YOU, I PROMISE THAT NO HARM SHALL COME TO YOU AS LONG AS YOU OBEY AND SERVE ME, MOST IMPORTANTLY BY TAKING CARE OF LILITH. BUT THE MOMENT YOU BETRAY ME OR HER, THE MOMENT YOU BREAK MY RULES, THIS DEAL WILL BE NULL AND VOID."

Larells brows furrowed. “And what if you order me to ‘serve’ you with my body?”

The implication was obvious.

“THEN YOU WON’T HAVE TO OBEY,” I answered, slightly annoyed.

“Very well” Larell sighed. “Guess you got yourself a deal.”

“GOOD.” I said, satisfied with the outcome.

I eyed Larell. Her dress was really mostly destroyed, just like Lilith’s. Though while Lilith’s was simply worn out, Larell’s looked to have been ripped apart… I’d have to look into that later. Anyways, both needed new clothes and from stripping the other village girls, I should now have an abundance of fabric to make clothes from!

“CAN YOU SEW?” I asked Larell. She seemed startled.

“Uh… a little? I can repair my own clothes, maybe even make some, but I am not a seamstress or anything…” she responded.

“THAT WILL HAVE TO DO. YOU AND LILITH BOTH NEED NEW CLOTHES, IT’S COLD DOWN HERE.” I told her. “GET TO WORK RIGHT AWAY. MY MINIONS WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH EVERYTHING THEY CAN.”

Larell nodded and followed my minions. I had quasi-telepathically ordered them to bring her to a room we used as a workshop and also gather materials she might need there. Especially the clothes collected from the other girls, they wouldn’t need them any longer, not with what I had in store for them anyways. I ordered them to be brought before me.
