A kindness rewarded

I suppose I should explain what exactly led to Rina changing her punishment from gangbang to something slightly more gentle.

It happened quite a while ago. Back when Lindsey announced her Lunch Looney punishment.

“Some more warnings to not be too mean with the poor boys?”, Rina asked with mild interest as I bade her to remain for a little while longer.

“Not quite”, I replied. “There is something I kept a secret from everyone else, and I intend to keep it that way, except for you.”

That certainly piqued Rina's curiosity. “What are you talking about?”

“When Gina negotiated with Queen Marel about selling us all out, we took a secret recording. The truth is, I tampered with that recording.” I took out my phone and let the video play.

For the most part it was identical, except for the very end.

“Actually, I have one more favor.”

“And what is that?”

“I will offer you Royal magnificent but I beg you to spare Rina.”

“Oh? The little volleyball? A curious choice. Why?”

“Because...” There was a long silence. “She is my friend.”

Marel consented. According to the agreement everyone of Royal magnificent would turn into her pets, except for Rina who was free to go.

Rina needed a bit to process that. “Why?”

“Given the unstable state Royal magnificent was in, I needed to unite everyone. In order to achieve that I couldn't leave a single redeeming quality on Gina. I...i needed you.” While the truth was far worse then this, my remorse was genuine. “I'm sorry...”

“That's not what...Sheesh....” Rina took a deep breath. “I mean, even if she excluded me, this would have still resulted in her selling out my girls to Marel. Give me some credit here, Marcie, of course I would have still been on your side.”

“Yes, It was silly”, I smiled, holding back my tears.

“But still”, Rina continued “Why would Gina do this for me?”

“I suppose you should ask her herself, but knowing her...” I sighed. “Because you showed her genuine respect and admiration. In my time as hand, I soon came to realize that Gina is a very lonely person. Marel loves her of course, but you see how their relationship is. I think Gina found something in you. Something she never experienced before: A chance at genuine friendship.”

“Fuck”, Rina cursed. “You want me to feel bad for her?”

“No. I want you to punish her.” I allowed my tears to flow freely now. “I want you to punish Gina in a way that will make you forgive her.”

“Fuck”, Rina repeated. “I do it, I punish her until the cows come home. And then, I be that stupid idiots friend again.”

Of course, I considered the fact, that this was simply another ploy of Gina. That she asked for Rina to be spared as a final gamble to garner sympathy. I told myself that over and over in the last two months. That was the only way I could sleep at night. And even now, I wouldn't come completely clean. I would carry this guilt for the rest of my life. That was the duty of a ruler.

It was a pretty pathetic display all things considered. Some might even call it gross, but it did have the desired effect. Rina agreed to have her punishment altered. I also told her of my intention to give her a spanking for my punishment. Rina laughed at that, telling me that my weak hands would be way too gentle. Sorry Gina, I intended it to be more symbolic, but I guess you will get the spanking of a lifetime.

I spend all weekend coming up with something equally appropriate.

From the sound of it, Rina didn't welsh on her promise and made this weekend rather exhausting for Gina. I could certainly tell as much from her vacant expression. Still, I don't think I ever saw her quite so happy.

Rina on the other hand was full of energy, giving her report on the current state of the war.

“I decided to make use of Gina on Sunday, so I took her and Ben to a Date to Wet Willies. Of course that information got leaked to the tyrants. The fools swallowed the bait hook line and sinker. We got them in a three sided pincer and annihilated the lot. Boss got away, but whatever, we get him soon enough.”

I suppose calling it a war was awfully grandiose.

That was just the latest of many successful operations against “Tyrants in the school” Their initial vigor and enthusiasm had all but vanished at this point. Life under my rule was, all things considered, quite fair. Who would jeopardize this for some romantic idealism about freedom?

That said, opposition isn't a bad thing for any authoritative ruler worth her salt. I need to consider that once I deal with their leader.

In any case, now it's a battlefield of politics, one of laws and regulations.

“How do our new policies come along, Lauren?”

“Quite swimmingly. Most students where able to match our new standards in testing. The failure quote of the first round is less then 10%”

The new law required every student with an average of C or lower to improve their grades under punishment of public humiliation. Nothing unreasonable. Just half a grade. It is amazing what a little pressure can do to your diligence.

“That 10% did include some...unfortunate people tough.” Lauren glanced to Rina.

“Oh piss off with your bullshit. Punishment is stripping down to your underwear right? Yeah, I take that one.”

“It won't do to have the minister of defense publicly humiliated like that. We shall make an exemption, citing Rina's exemplary talents in the field of sports. As for the general student body...any students who gets three strikes is to be stripped to their underwear and shamed for no longer then five minutes. After that, they are to be given their clothes back. Regarding the ban on ****...”

As I delegate and dictated, my mind wandered back to Gina who was standing next to my throne in silence. She probably didn't want to sit more then needed for the next few days anyways.

Now, only my punishment was left.

I had no intention of rushing it. It's not that our relationship would be over once it happens, but it felt like a finale, and as such I wanted to give it the appropriate treatment.

Luckily an anniversary of sorts was soon coming up.
