Ha Yurin - Defiance in Punishment

"First of all, Lady Yurin, how does that crouching position do you? I've interviewed a fair share of A-Rank Prisoners enough to know how uncomfortable it is, but you are on an entirely different level, aren't you? Or as a Family Head, are you afforded certain-?" Yurin casually tutted as she shook her head before you could finish her question.

"Nah, I am just like the rest of them in that I have to stay like this even when I am sleeping. I can understand why, really. Crouching for so long tends to leave your muscles constantly pressured, and you can start to feel aches all around, but for me, it's really nothing, since I am the strongest woman in the Tower. I can stay like this while remaining smiling, and I REALLY don't see much of a fuss in this position." Yurin affirmed your imaginations with a teasing smirk on her face as you couldn't help but wonder exactly how Eurasia Enne or Arlene Grace would be restrained and if she, too, wasn't affected by the method of restraint like Yurin was.

"Now, I am punished in the mondays, tuesdays, thursdays, fridays, and saturdays. Jahad really kept to his word about making sure my punishments would be "special", alright, but what he doesn't seem to understand is that he can never hope to break me. I imagine he's currently being frustrated by reports of how I am faring here. I promise to go along with the punishments, but I never promised him I would mope over it, did I? Do you want to question me some more, or would you rather I describe those punishments MYSELF?" Yurin challenged as you shook her head.

Clearly, Yurin wouldn't hold back, and if anything, you couldn't help but feel somewhat grateful for having to ask the questions yourself. You may have hardened your heart, but sometimes, you still couldn't help but feel sick and remorseful that you ever trusted the Empire. "Very well, Lady Yurin. You may speak of them in your own pace. I have seen more than enough to know you would not leave out any of the gory details." Yurin cackled as she nodded casually.

"Alright, the first punishment in the mondays are 300 lashes of the whip." Your eyes widened at the count of whipping, several times more than that of any other known cases of corporal punishment. "They bring me to a special chamber, bind me spread-eagled, and then lash me 300 times at the morning, 300 times at noon, and 300 times near night." Not only that, she was even delivered the same amount of whipping over the 3 cycles of the day! It was something unbelievable, honestly.

"Ha, from that look, it seems you think that's the worst thing that could have happened to me, huh? Well, it's not even close. We'll get to the other punishments, and then you'll know for sure. Anyway~~" Yurin tutted, looking not in the least bothered by just reliving and describing what would have been an absolute **** sentence to even some of the strongest High Rankers. "I pretty much taunted them to hit me harder. Those guards weren't exactly all too formal at it. They seemed to either respect or be scared of my position as a Family Head. By the end of it, my back was only somewhat aching, and I got only about 10 real whip marks. That's just how fucking strong my superhuman body is, as you can expect from the strongest of the Ha Family who are known for their tough bodies, which they got from me, the Head and the progenitor."

"... Which is worse, may I ask? Being **** to crouch while chained the way you are now, or being spread-angled while chained for the whippings?" You asked after getting over the fact that the woman before you truly was beyond superhuman. She was indeed a mighty war goddess, every bit worthy of her ranking as the Top 10 of the High Rankers and her fame as the strongest woman in the entire Tower.

Yurin smirked, a devilish glint in her eye. "Oh, I see where you're going with this. Well, I won't lie that I prefer the spread-eagle, even though I am being whipped while at it. The only thing this crouching position could do to me is bore me a lot. Being spread-angled, on the other hand, gives the thrills of a challenge. While whipped, I'm completely exposed and ****. And yet..." Yurin's eyes flashed further in defiance. "Even though they spread my limbs tightly, I still didn't yield, and while being lashed stung for so many times stung a bit, I still admit being allowed to stand up, even in such a position, actually felt better. I could move around a little bit, and so on."

At your stunned look, Yurin's smirk widened. "And you're not the first person to look flabbergasted at that. Those guards were stunned speechless when I smirked and told them all about it. The thoughts of "Completely monstrous in strength doesn't even describe this woman" and "This is what it means to be near the top of the power hierarchy under only King Jahad himself? No wonder why Family Heads are considered unsurpassed by anyone from the Tower. They really are gods." are pretty much etched on their face to the point where it's readable."

"Anyway~~~ On to the second punishment of tuesdays. I'm taken to a specialized room called the Hell Furnace, a room heated beyond the temperature of the usual Furnace." You recognized the Furnace from Poe Bidau Tiara and Ha Yuri's description, but to hear there was even a room beyond that?? "I was trapped inside that incredibly hot sauna for 12 hours, and I got to admit, the heat was more than anything I've felt before. Still, I didn't break. I kept enduring it with a smile on my face, making jokes to myself about how this definitely was intense, something I had been missing for years since the "Great Journey" stopped. Life's a bit dull when all you can do is move around fancy homes, fuck a few strong men, make flirty comments, and do some defiant things, you know?"

"But this whole time, got to admit I missed this. Sure, my hands are bound and I am naked, but we both know it doesn't matter to me. Enduring those things brought back life to me as I remembered all the sparks of defiance inside. I am unashamedly happy to say that I'm still as wild as ever." Yurin said with a vicious grin as you flinched. Here was Ha Yurin, the strongest woman in the Tower, with such strength and resilience as to make punishments that could give a tortorous **** look like warmups. On top of that, there was a certain intense spark within her that seemed so genuine yet wild.

"Most other High Rankers would have been sweating like hell, coughing up, and begging for mercy, but me? Nah, I just let out a few sweat, even wiggling my body around to get some movement feelings. Now, before we get to the thursdays, you should know that wednesday and sunday has no punishments at all, which makes them somewhat dull, since I kind of enjoy the defiance and endurance I get to show whenever they "punish" me. All that I am left with is simply eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner, although it's not as though I'm completely without some fun." Yurin smirked as you realized she was talking about the way of eating.

Naturally, prisoners of A-Rank are **** to eat with their hands chained behind them, eating like an animal, a truly disgusting piece of cruelty. Most of the other prisoners spoke most unfavorably of it, but Yurin only seemed to smirk, even though Yuri herself scowled. "Yes, they tie my hands behind my back and **** me to eat like an animal. But you know what?" She paused, her smirk widening.

"I make it look as classy as possible. Maybe even more so. I always smirk and taunt them to tie me up tighter, even daring them to tie the chains to somewhere where I would actually struggle while taking time to blow taunting kisses at the air even as I lick up the food and drinks. I always keep my composure, and remain casual, enjoying my meals from breakfast, lunch, and dinner and making comments on how the food tastes. They really don't seem to have the courage to go any further, since I am still the Top 3 Family Head after all."

"... And what of the thursdays?" Despite having agreed to allow Yurin to describe her experiences in her own pace, you couldn't help but seek the distraction of speaking out your question. The fact that there was this woman before you who seemed to actually enjoy being punished to a certain extent felt so absurd. Yurin didn't seem to mind, though, but her grin softened up a little bit.

"You know, I can read your mind easily even without any kind of special shinsu ability. These chains aren't nearly enough to stop my strength from casually snapping them off, but Jahad did ensure they would keep me from using Reinforcement or any shinsu skill. I guess you're wondering why I can say all this so casually, right? Well, to be honest, it's not just about the intensity and wildness within me. It's also because I- I have not forgotten the days I spend as just another Family Head firmly under Jahad's paycheck."

Your eyes softened as you felt a bit bad now. So Yurin did have a reason beyond simply enjoying challenging situations... "I guess I take it all with a smile on my face partially because I also want to be punished for my initial subservience to Jahad. I knew it's not enough, and I'll have to redeem myself in other ways once Jahad's defeated, but it's still the first step, experiencing the suffering of those who would be considered far beneath a Family Head like myself, to remember exactly what following Jahad cost me and why I should never do that again, even if it kills me."

"Anyway~~~" Yurin was back to her casual and wild demeanor as her grin regained it's ferocity. "The thursdays were all about sexual punishments. I am sure you are aware that some prisoners are **** to go through this?" You clench your fists as you nod. Lady Anaak and Lady Nen Neya had spoken all about it. "Well, for me, it's divided into two sessions. The first one, they gang-**** me for 7 hours. The second one, they put me on a wooden horse with enormous weights for 6 hours."

Your eyes stared at Lady Yurin's with horror and disgust. Not even Anaak or Nen Neya had it anywhere as bad as that. Apparently, Jahad cared more for his desire to make Yurin bend to his will than punishing those two, just because Lady Yurin was so rebellious even though she and the Ha Family did follow Jahad's rule for many years. Lady Yurin, though, kept her smile as she casually shrugged.

"Yes, gang-**** for seven hours, just like clockwork. The guards were strictly ordered to hold nothing back, forcing me to handjob two dicks, give one of them a blowjob, and two of them taking both my ass and pussy. It's a "somewhat" challenging experience, but one I won. I could have snapped their necks and slapped them since I wasn't exactly chained up at the moment, but that would put Yuri in trouble. Besides, Jahad may believe he's put me in a situation where I can't resist him, but he's very wrong. He is right to know even though I could snap off these chains anytime I want, I won't, but everything else, he is very much wrong to believe."

Yurin snickered, remembering the experience vividly. "As you probably know, I've been with a lot of men as a Family Head, so I am quite unbothered by nudity and have centuries of experience. I drank their cum up, sometimes spitting them down, without even showing any kind of physical disgust, I took their ass and pussy fuckings and kept a grin all along. I spend most of it taunting them to do better, even speaking about some of my sensual experiences. They really are amateurs, mostly, in sex, just foolish pigs who believe they can make any women beg for mercy. It's just their numbers that make them a bit more of a threat. Well, they would be sorely disappointed by the end of the 7 hours. At least they were much sterner and more cruel than the normal guards, but they all ended up bitterly accepting how impossible it would be to break me."

"Now, to the second part. After just half a minute of rest from those 7 hours of gang-****, more than enough for someone of my level of toughness and experience, they fit me on a very thick wooden horse and add tons upon tons of weight." You already knew this much, actually. Yuri told you of how she too shared that particular punishment, and how she did her best and managed to keep smiling, but her reaction was mocked as being poorer than that of Yurin's. "Most other women High Rankers would probably break within an hour, but I lasted six. I even slid my pussy through the rough wood until it started bleeding, and I bore the pain while taunting the guards to add more. Oh, they did, but it didn't work. I broke a relatively decent sweat compared to the other punishments, alright, but in the end, I kept smiling and never lost my casual teasing attitude.

"... Well, Yuri said all about how the guards spoke of how while she did her best, her endurance in this paled compared to you, Lady Yurin." Yurin's eyes actually widened a bit at that, as you nod affirmingly. "Yes, I visited her, just before I was allowed to visit you. Her detention was well-known, but not yours. It was from her that I learned that you were also sentenced to detention, and that was when we began to uncover your true allegiance, discovering your hidden indications that you were no longer loyal to Jahad."

"Huh... Well, did Yuri show any signs of looking down that she couldn't live up to my example? I really don't blame her. Her spirit and character is so similar to me, but she's just far, far less physically strong and tough as me. As I am an Irregular from the Outside, no one in my Family born within the Tower would ever surpass me, but I don't use that as an excuse to be too distant like a fair share of Family Heads do." Yurin said, her tone softening and her face changing from her grin to looking thoughtful and concerned.

"Nah, she didn't beat herself up over it. She said she knew she would never be as strong as you physically, but she could at least be just as determined as you are." That made Yurin smile once more, a softer and more sincere smile than her wild grins from before when describing how she endured her punishments with utmost defiance.

"Okay, then. Glad to hear it. Now, to the fridays. For the fridays, I was taken to the "Northern Tundra". This time, my hands were chained above the ceiling while my legs were bound to the ground. I was left in that blizzard-like freezing place for 12 hours full, without being given food or drinks, suspended off the ground. The position wasn't anything near being too bad for me. My arms and legs only felt a slight bit of ache from it, and that was much more from the cold, which came the closest to rivaling even that bastard Edahn's "mighty ice"."

Your eyes widened. Khun Edahn was ranked above Yurin due to greater influence but had power equal to her as they were two of the Top 3 Family Heads, with Arie Hon alone both ranking above them and being truly their superior. To hear her casually comparing the powers of someone equal to her to her experience with punishments only further made you realize how little she truly is affected by all she had suffered here.

Yurin smirked as she continued with her description. "Being left there, naked while exposed to cold that could chill you to the bone, would be so hard for anyone, but not for me. I would sing a few casual to intense tunes to myself and mock the guards watching over the outside of the **** room, even daring them to take pictures of me to send to Zahard, pretending I was a model or something." She chuckled softly, almost fondly. "That would make him frustrated, since he did all this because he wanted to break the rebel out of me, but he's obviously failed. If anything, he's only made it further clear just how unworthy he is to be King of the Tower."

"Now, all that remains is the saturdays, right? Oh boy, now, this one is a bit of a hard stretch, I'll give them that. On Fridays, they strap me onto a machine that stretches my pussy and ass wide open, my hands and legs stretched to the max. Got to admit they were actually pretty creative, leaving me there for 10 hours and also switching the temperature from insanely hot to enormously cold using a certain device, exposing my genitalia to all the cold and the heat and trying to apply intense pressure on my muscles, combining pain and sexual aspects into one." Yeah, that definitely described the punishment most keenly. You cannot help but feel disgusted at Jahad's treatment of the woman who was once a companion in climbing the Tower, but you also felt admiration at the woman for enduring all that.

"However, it just ain't enough. Sometimes, I even made light of my situation, joking on how hardcore this is, teasing the guards until they blushed red about whether or not they wanted to take advantage of me in this situation, and daring them to make pictures of me in that state, exposing all of me from my bare skin to even my most intimate parts." With a casual shrug, Yurin turned towards you, making it clear she was finished with her explanation.

"Well, I take it that's all you need from me?" When you nod slowly, Yurin smirked as she addressed the last matter. "Now, what are those commands Jahad wanted me to do before I could get a reduced sentence?"
