Her eyes snapped open, a sharp glint in their silver depths. Rhea Aslan Deviluke sat up.
"Heh… Finally awake, are we?"
"That's great! Rhea, you're awake! Are you okay?"
Sora stood with his arms crossed, a wicked smile on his face. Lala, on the other hand, immediately hugged the loli-fied Rhea, her face full of concern and happiness.
"Where is this?" Rhea asked with a frown, allowing Lala to hug and nuzzle her.
"Heehee… Rhea, Rhea, this is mine and Sora's house!" Lala replied proudly, like the lady of the house.
Rhea looked around, the confusion in her eyes slowly fading as she came to her senses.
"So I lost…" she murmured, recalling the battle.
"What are you going to do to me?!" Her expression hardened, and she stared at Sora, demanding an answer.
"Hey, hey, my dear Valkyrie. For a loser and a captive, don't you think your attitude is a bit too arrogant?" Sora replied, exasperated by this incredibly prideful woman.
"Arrogant? Hmph, just because I lost to you, am I supposed to wag my tail and beg like a dog?"
"I hate annoying, whining insects. If you're going to kill me, just get it over with!" she sneered, turning her head away. Her defiant attitude almost made the great demon king applaud her.
"Rhea, Sora is the best! He won't kill you," Lala's voice came as she continued to nuzzle her.
"Woman, as Lala said, I couldn't bear to kill you."
"Because I've decided to make you my little pet…"
He turned the loli-fied girl's head back to face him, his endlessly wicked voice echoing in the room.
"You dare?!!!"
Rage flared in her eyes. Rhea glared at Sora as if she wanted to eat him alive.
For someone to dare to say they would make her, Rhea Aslan Deviluke, their pet! If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she would have thought she'd gone insane.
"Heh… What wouldn't I dare?"
"Woman, have you not yet grasped your situation? You are nothing more than my defeated foe, my captive. I can do whatever I want to you. If I want to make you my pet, I'll make you my pet!"
"Do you have a problem with that? Even if you do, I'll just ignore it!" he sneered. Sora had no intention of being gentle with this proud and forceful woman; it would be useless. To conquer her, you had to be even more proud, even more forceful.
As expected, Rhea stared at him, completely stunned. Even with all her pride and strength, seeing Sora's cold and unyielding expression made her shiver slightly.
It was true. This world was ruled by strength. She used to be the invincible Valkyrie, so she could destroy anything she disliked without hesitation. But now, someone stronger than her had appeared. She had lost the battle and fallen into his hands. As the victor, he had the right to do whatever he pleased with her…
"Heehee… This sounds like fun!"
"Rhea, Rhea, why don't you be Sora's little pet from now on? We'll both take good care of you," Lala chimed in thoughtlessly, not trying to dissuade him at all.
Seeing Lala's pure and innocent expression, Rhea knew she was just saying it for fun, but that only made her feel even more frustrated. She felt a lump in her chest, like she wanted to vomit blood but couldn't.
"Did you hear that, woman? Even your princess said so. From now on, you will be my obedient little pet."
Sora praised Lala with a pat on the head, a wicked smile on his face as he pulled Rhea onto his lap.
He had to admit, though the loli-fied Rhea lacked her usual breathtaking beauty, she was cute enough to kill.
Holding his first little pet in this world, the great demon king nuzzled her happily.
"Ku-Kusanagi Sora! O-one day, I will kill you!" Rhea's small, delicate hands were uselessly trying to push him away. She could only shout at him with cold fury.
"Kill me? I have no problem with that, if you can."
"But before that, you should think about how to please me, my cute little pet…"
His wicked hand cupped her small butt, nearly making her explode with rage. But before she could react, a sudden sensation shot through her, and she lost all her strength, collapsing against his chest, panting and blushing.
"Just as I thought. As a Devilukean, even the so-called Strongest Valkyrie has a fatal weakness in her tail," the great demon king said with an endlessly wicked smile, kneading the loli Rhea's fleshy, heart-tipped tail. The thought of toying with the woman who struck fear into the hearts of countless people across the universe gave him a special kind of thrill.
"Y-you…"
She could barely speak. With her most sensitive spot being toyed with by this evil man, Rhea felt a surge of rage so intense she wanted to take him down with her.
But right now, other than glaring at him with shame and hatred, she was powerless to resist his defilement…
Is this the end for me, Rhea Aslan Deviluke? The proud girl felt a deep sense of despair and tragedy for herself…
She had no hope that Princess Lala would save her, and she was right. Not only did Lala not help her, she even joined in, playing with her tail alongside Sora.
"Lady Lala, Young Master."
Zastin's voice came from outside the door. Sora and Lala finally stopped, and Rhea, finally getting a moment of respite, felt a flicker of hope.
"Kill him, Zastin!" she ordered, struggling to sit up as he entered.
"Lady Rhea, please don't ask the impossible. Even you were no match for the Young Master," Zastin replied with a wry smile and a bow.
Seeing Rhea blushing and being held by Sora, looking utterly humiliated, Zastin could guess what had happened even without seeing it. Though he looked respectful and helpless on the surface, he was laughing triumphantly inside.
Hahaha… You cruel woman, you finally got what you deserved!
"Useless fool! Nngh…"
She cursed, but before she could say more, Sora grabbed her tail again, and she whimpered and collapsed against him once more.
"Alright, Zastin, what did you come for?" Sora asked, a smirk on his lips as he toyed with her tail.
"Young Master, we were in the wrong this time. We nearly destroyed the Earth. On behalf of Lady Rhea, I apologize."
"But Lady Rhea is Lady Sephie's knight and the strongest warrior of Deviluke. We cannot do without her. Please, forgive her this once."
He was being sincere. Personally, Zastin didn't want to come. That cruel woman had bullied him plenty of times in the past. But for the sake of the entire Devilukean empire, he had to.
As for Princess Lala, well, Zastin knew she was an unreliable master…
"Forgive her? That's not so easy. I've already decided to make her my little pet."
Gently stroking the loli Rhea's cute, humiliated face, the great demon king looked troubled.
"Ahem!"
Zastin coughed violently, thinking he must have misheard.
He said he's making Rhea his pet? That cruel, proud, and cold yet strongest Valkyrie in the universe? My dear Young Master, do you have to be so powerful?!
He bowed his head deeply, deciding it was best not to see or say anything more. He was also starting to regret coming here.
He had seen and heard things he shouldn't have today. He worried that one day, that cruel woman Rhea would kill him to silence him.
"Zastin, you can go back. From now on, your Valkyrie is my pet. It's impossible for me to let her go."
Of course, Sora had no intention of letting her go, at least not for now. She was his prize, after all. How could he give her up so easily?
"By the way, keep a close watch on space for a while. If any other spaceships approach Earth, let me know immediately," Sora added, remembering something.
"Yes, Young Master."
Though disappointed, Zastin didn't dare to object.
Even though he couldn't secure Rhea's release, at least her life wasn't in danger. And given the relationship between the Young Master and Princess Lala, he wouldn't stand by if Deviluke was in danger. Thinking about it that way, Zastin felt there was nothing to worry about.
After all, the Young Master was even stronger than that cruel woman Rhea.
He glanced at Rhea, who was panting in Sora's arms, humiliated but unable to resist. Zastin thought to himself that she had brought this on herself. He said his goodbyes to Sora and Lala and left.
"Hah… It's getting late. Let's go to bed too, Lala."
Seeing the time, Sora said to Lala and carried his little pet towards the bedroom…
