"...Underwear... is that it?"
What the women were looking at was a chastity belt that gleamed silver.
According to the information I received from Armonia, this world had no concept of chastity belts.
If such a thing had been invented, Viola would have been the first to wear one.
Just the thought of it sends shivers down my spine...
I began to pitch the product to the women like a subway salesman, attaching various explanations to it.
"It's lightweight, and its strength is such that even most demons couldn't forcibly remove it. It incorporates advanced technology from a foreign land!"
"Wow!"
Perhaps because they had no concept of a chastity belt, their expressions showed no signs of rejection.
In fact, they seemed fascinated.
Though it was a simple-structured chastity belt, the 400 Enel price tag wasn't just due to the material.
It had fingerprint recognition.
And the owner of the registered fingerprint wasn't here.
"However, the removal method is a bit unique. The wearer can't remove it themselves."
"...Wait a minute! That means someone else has to remove it for them... That's... um..."
Of course, it would feel awkward.
Having someone else remove it every time they needed to relieve themselves.
"It's designed that way for security. If they could remove it themselves, someone could forcibly take it off on the spot."
"Ah... I see..."
Everyone seemed to agree.
'These women are truly amusing.'
[From their perspective, Suho-nim's words are quite convincing.]
'Hehe, but is that thing really as durable as you say?'
[It's guaranteed to last at least 20 years.]
It accumulates energy through body heat, which is then used for fingerprint recognition.
Moreover, there's no environment where the technical aspects could be leaked.
The women continued to poke at the silver chastity belt, fascinated.
They had never heard of such a concept before and were under the misconception that they were in danger of being violated.
For now, they were likely just focused on avoiding the immediate danger.
After confirming their acceptance to some extent, I explained all the features.
When the registered fingerprint holder grabs both ends of the panties, it opens and releases.
And the most important part was that the person who removed it using their fingerprint was designed to forcibly hold onto the underwear.
If the wearer's underwear was removed, the remover's fingers would be bound, preventing them from letting go.
And when the original wearer put the underwear back on, the system allowed the fingers to be released.
'Honestly, I was worried it might be more expensive because of all these features.'
[For someone like Lena de Feron, this item is meaningless. And the strength required to bind the remover's fingers is weak enough that an adult could easily break free.]
According to Armonia, someone with Lena's strength could easily destroy it.
But since there were no such extraordinary individuals among the nobles here, it wouldn't be a problem.
And the fingerprint registrant... wasn't an adult, so it was fine.
Though it had various features, the technical aspects were much simpler than the superconductive bullet I had used before.
"One thing's for sure, those guys won't be able to forcibly remove it. Plus, it's lightweight."
"...Couldn't you just take me with you, Master...?"
It was the feisty noblewoman from yesterday who spoke.
Her face was completely different from yesterday.
The fierce and strong expression was gone, replaced by a pitiful and sorrowful look.
Moreover, she didn't say "we." It was just "me."
Hearing her, the other women began to plead as well.
"Me too!"
"Please, Master!"
"..."
The women's expressions seemed to suggest that maybe they could be taken along too.
'Since it's come to this, maybe I should go along with it.'
[If it's just to satisfy your carnal desires...]
'Ah, that's not it.'
[...?]
It was true that these women, with their noble airs, were quite beautiful.
But that wasn't the main point.
'If I just leave without a word, these women will have no future.'
[...? Are you worried about them?]
'No... True despair comes from hope.'
If I act like I'll return after having relations with these women today, they'll firmly believe it.
They'll be certain I'll come back...
'I'll tell them I'll definitely take them with me when I return.'
[If you say that, they'll likely endure and hold on.]
'And by the time they give up, they'll already be accustomed to it, living in perpetual despair.'
That level of revenge for Lena would be enough.
Moreover, the longer these women live, the deeper they'll drag that brat into hell.
[There's also the pheromone effect, so these women probably feel some affection for you right now.]
'Ugh, I was planning to save it for tonight with Lena. Well, there's no guarantee they'll all fall for it. Let's try once...'
I subtly probed the women in front of me.
"Even if it's too much now, in 1-2 years..."
"R-Really? I'll do anything!"
The feisty noblewoman squeezed between my legs and looked up at me.
Everyone else looked at her in surprise.
I pretended to think deeply, then stroked her head and said.
"Yesterday, I was quite harsh with my words. Are you sure you're okay?"
"..."
The woman between my legs, watching me groom her hair, made a puppy-like face and said.
"I... I actually like that kind of thing more!"
...
...
"Slurp... Sluuurp... Hah..."
"Hmm... Feels good, right?"
"Hehe... Thank you..."
"Heehee..."
A naked woman was lying on the bed, looking up at me while giving me a blowjob.
This woman, who introduced herself as Patricia, had been a virgin until just now.
Until she offered herself to me...
And on the bed, it wasn't just me and her; other women were tangled up, lying around.
All of them, exhausted, were lying around me, having fallen asleep.
The bed was stained with dried blood and love juices here and there.
"I'll definitely come back for you in 1-2 years."
"...Really?"
"But since I travel the world, I might face some difficulties, so I can't be sure how it'll turn out."
"Ah..."
Patricia, who had been glaring at me with axe-like eyes just yesterday, was now sullenly licking my penis.
I stroked her and said.
"But I'll definitely come back. Even if it's late, I'll come back for you."
"R-Really?! I'll definitely wait for you... Hah..."
With a bright smile at my words, she focused back on the blowjob.
'Yes, please wait...'
[When you think about taking Beatrice with you later, won't you come back?]
'Ah, right! Well, it'll work out somehow...'
When the time comes, I can just lie again.
What matters to women isn't the cruel truth.
A hollow lie can become the driving force of their lives.
Honestly, there's no guarantee I can take the Demon King's direct subordinate with me later...
After emptying the last of my seed from my balls, I fell asleep surrounded by the women.
***
Seven people were tangled up on the bed.
The women, who had been completely subdued until this morning, seemed to move more lightly after mixing their bodies with mine.
While engaging with them, I used all sorts of lies to boost their sense of elevation.
They'll likely live with a renewed sense of purpose for a while.
And in this atmosphere, I remembered what needed to be done.
"Patricia."
"Yes!"
Just hearing her name called made her so happy that she came to me naked.
I asked her for a favor.
"Sorry, but could you change your clothes and bring the brat here?"
"...? Who's the brat?"
"...Who was it again?"
I can't remember the brat's name...
'Was it Blueberry?'
[It's Berius.]
"Ah, bring that Berius kid here."
"Okay~"
Patricia, beaming, changed her clothes and left the room.
The other women, seeing Patricia leave, began to carefully get off the bed to change their clothes.
I stopped them immediately.
"Don't worry about that guy, just lie down comfortably."
"B-But... Berius... is..."
I guess royalty is royalty. Even if he's called a brat, they must show some basic respect in front of him.
"Enough. You're not his subordinates. From now on, he'll be serving you."
"...?"
The women looked at me with confused expressions.
They followed my words and lay naked on the bed.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
Knock, knock, knock!
"Come in."
Patricia entered first, followed by the brat.
As soon as the brat entered, his face turned red as if it would explode, and he turned his head away.
"What... what's this..."
Patricia was equally flustered.
She looked at the women with an expression, asking why they weren't dressed.
"Patricia, come back in and lie down comfortably."
"Uh... Okay!"
After a brief hesitation, she obediently followed my words, quickly stripped, and jumped into the bed, snuggling into my arms.
Seeing this, Berius muttered under his breath.
"You're... crazy..."
"You come here too. Ah, just to be clear, I'm not telling you to strip and get into bed."
"D-Don't joke around! Why would I..."
The women, seeing the brat walking over hesitantly, began to laugh.
In the past, they might have found it cute, but now, no one liked him.
Seeing the once arrogant brat act like this was quite satisfying.
The brat stood in front of me, tears welling up, and said.
"What... what did you do to Lady Lena..."
"...?"
"Y-You... Ever since you came, Lady Lena has been suffering... What did you do!"
"..."
What a damn bastard...
He had no idea that he was the root cause of Lena's downfall.
But hearing his words gave me an interesting idea.
I whispered into the brat's ear so the women couldn't hear.
"When I entered the room with the key you gave me, unfortunately, Lady Lena was awake. She tried to kill me as soon as she saw me. But..."
"B-But... how..."
"...When I said I'd take revenge on you, she immediately spread her legs and submitted."
"..."
"And now she's decided to follow me for life."
I smiled and pulled my face away from the brat's ear.
The brat trembled, tears streaming down his face as if he understood what he had just heard.
Then, suddenly, he screamed and lunged at me.
"I'll... I'll kill you!! Lady Lena!!"
"What are you doing! Get away from Master!"
"Whoa! Thanks, Patricia~"
"I'll kill you! Ugh... I'll kill you..."
Restrained by the women around him, the brat fell back.
And there he lay, tears streaming down his face, muttering.
"Ugh... Lady Lena... Ugh..."
"Oh... Such devotion. Should I release Lady Lena?"
Nod, nod!
The brat, still crying, looked at me and nodded pleadingly.
"Hmm... But once I've decided something, it's not easy to change... If you do me a favor, I'll shorten it to 1-2 years."
"R-Really!?"
"Of course~"
Of course, it was a lie, but that didn't matter to me.
I calmly explained to the kid what he needed to do.
***
After hearing my words, the kid looked at me with an expression of disbelief, on the verge of tears, and shouted.
"D-Don't mess with me… I'm the prince of Bethel! How could I do such a thing…"
"Then I guess you'll never see the princess again. Goodbye."
"Ugh…."
"But if you do well, I'll bring the princess back later and make her yours."
"T-The princess isn't an object!"
The kid shouted that, but he still seemed conflicted.
However, the conflict didn't last long.
"You… really… if I do that, will you bring the princess back…?"
"Yeah, I said I'd make her yours, right?"
"N-No, not that! …You'll really send her back?"
"Of course~"
"…O-Okay."
"Oh…"
Seeing the kid's reaction, I was a bit unsure, but he agreed in the end.
Well, that settles it then.
I instructed the women on the bed to line up naked.
Though embarrassed by the kid's presence, the women followed my orders.
"Alright, now you go ahead and fit them one by one."
"Ugh… h-how could I do something like this…."
I could tell just how important Lena was to this kid.
He probably couldn't even imagine a life without her.
What a piece of trash… Lena's life was ruined because of you.
The kid couldn't take his eyes off the women's groins as he fitted the chastity belts.
[But do you think Berius will keep following your orders?]
'….'
What I had Berius do wasn't just about fitting the chastity belts once.
All the fingerprint recognition on the belts was registered to Berius.
Last night, I put him to sleep and registered his fingerprints on every single belt.
As for the kid…
"If I hear that you're not doing what I told you properly, the princess will be a slave for life."
"I-I get it! Ugh… just keep your promise…"
I assigned him the role of removing and holding the belts whenever the women needed to relieve themselves.
