The Crimson Temple's great hall was packed. Every tiered level brimmed with women from every corner of Lucien's ever-growing dominion — warriors, witches, CEOs, succubi, and sirens — all gathered for one reason:
To witness a divine knight fall.
Seraphina stood bound in the center, restrained by glimmering chains made of her own former divine energy. Her once-pristine armor was replaced by a magical shackle ensemble — thin enchanted bindings wrapped delicately around her limbs and chest, like silver vines glowing red at every sensitive point.
Lucien stepped onto the central dais with Kaela, his new Enforcer, by his side. She carried a long obsidian staff — tipped with a crystal etched in runes designed to reshape the soul.
The Crest Ritual Begins
Lucien approached Seraphina, brushing her sweat-slick hair aside. She didn't look away, but her eyes were cloudy now — not defiant, not afraid, but caught somewhere in between.
"Do you know what this is?" he murmured, holding a sliver of glowing red crystal between his fingers. "A Core Sigil. It won't just mark you… it'll bind your will to my command."
She didn't respond. Her silence was answer enough.
With a command whispered in demonic tongue, the sigil hovered down… and pressed itself just above her womb, searing a glowing red crest into her flesh. She gasped — knees shaking, body arching — as the spell linked her to Lucien's will directly.
[🩶] Crest of Obedience: ActiveEmotions overridden. Loyalty redirected. Arousal tied to Master's presence.
Public Display
Lucien turned to the crowd.
"You all crave purpose. She was a holy blade. Now? She's the template."
Kaela raised the staff and struck it down, and the chains hoisted Seraphina upright, her body glowing in pulsing rhythm with her crest.
Lucien snapped his fingers.
Seraphina moaned aloud — a helpless, lust-drunk sound that echoed across the hall. Her thighs shook violently, her breath ragged.And yet — her climax never came.
"Lesson one," Lucien said. "You serve at my pleasure. Not your own."
He motioned for Kaela to step forward. The Enforcer brandished a whip made of magical tendrils — each stroke drawing a moan, not pain, across Seraphina's body. Each strike deepened her submission, until her eyes glazed into glossy devotion.
New System Updates Unlocked
Lucien's system flickered in his mind's eye — the runes pulsing.
[🔓] Harem Chain System Tier 2 Unlocked🔸 Emotional Bond Leashing: Tug on their hearts. Pull loyalty, jealousy, or lust at will.🔸 Slave Crest Evolution: Crests now react to thoughts, voice, or mood.🔸 Piercing Protocol: Magical piercings now enforce obedience and control pleasure centers.
Lucien smirked. "Perfect."
The Final Bow
As the ritual concluded, Seraphina collapsed to her knees — not from exhaustion… but by her own will.
"Master…" she whispered, her lips brushing his boot. "Command me."
And just like that, the Radiant Knight became Lucien's newest loyal pet.
The crowd of women watched in silence — half in awe, half in desperate envy.
