While Malenia was relaxing, Dante, on the other hand, was making everyone in the house his slave. No one was able to escape the house because of his ability.
Within just a few minutes, everyone from the baron's household had become slaves of Dante, except for the baron himself.
Both Dante and Rick were fighting, but Dante was clearly more powerful. He was just testing his new abilities, adjusting to his newfound powers.
Soon, he defeated Rick using only his enhanced physical abilities and made him his slave as well.
As a blood vampire, Dante had the power to enslave countless people through his blood, which functioned like a typical blood slave collar.
He could also control their minds, though it was exhausting to maintain even with a few slaves. Thus, most of the slaves retained their own will, but any act of rebellion would result in immense pain, much like Malenia had experienced.
However, unlike Malenia, who had extraordinary mental strength, the others wouldn't be able to withstand the pain. Plus, Dante could amplify the pain at will.
Now, having completed the task, he sat waiting for Malenia, surrounded by the newly enslaved members of the household.
Rick, on the other hand, was thinking about where this vampire had come from and why he had such animosity towards him.
Though terrified of the potential pain, Rick mustered the courage to ask."Who are you? And why are you doing this? Don't you know who rules this kingdom? If they find out, you will be killed."
"Shut up, or I'll gouge out your eyeballs and stuff them into your mouth to shut you up."
Rick trembled under Dante's piercing gaze and said nothing further, realizing the vampire's hatred for him is deeper than others.
"Tch!"
Sarah made a sound of disgust, annoyed by how terrified her husband was.
"Mom, we're not going to die, right?" Cedric asked, trembling. He had never imagined there would be a time in his life when he would become a slave.
"Don't worry, the royal family will save us. They'll surely send their knights once they find out what's happening." Sarah said, attempting to comfort her son.
"AHHHRRGHH!!"
"MOOOMAAAHHRGH!!"
Suddenly, both Cedric and Sarah experienced unimaginable pain. Even though it only lasted a few seconds, it was too much to bear.
"I told you to shut up." Dante said, and both mother and son repeatedly nodded their heads, terrified.
The entire household was now filled with fear of this mysterious vampire who had attacked them out of nowhere.
Meanwhile, Malenia had finished her bath and made her way to the main hall.
As she entered, every gaze turned toward her. They all wondered how she hadn't become a slave yet.
Rick looked at her in surprise. 'Where did her slave collar go?'
"You dumb bitch! Why did you come here? You should have run outside and informed others about this." Sarah shouted, unable to control her rage upon seeing Malenia without a slave collar, while she herself was now a slave.
Malenia didn't react, only thinking to herself. 'What's wrong with this woman? She's been angry with me ever since I met her.'
But Dante wouldn't let it slide. He immediately inflicted unbearable pain on Sarah.
"AHH!! NOOO!! STOP THIS!!"
"BITCH, how dare you insult the Mistress? Do you wish to die?" Dante growled. But noticing that Malenia was annoyed by Sarah's screams, he stopped her suffering.
"Mistress!?"
Everyone was shocked upon hearing the vampire address Malenia, the slave they had abused in the basement, as his Mistress.
"Calm down, Dante. Did you complete the task I gave you?" Malenia asked, glancing at all the slaves in the hall. She recognized the faces of each person who had violated her in the basement.
"Yes, Mistress. Everyone in this household is now my slave." Dante replied, kneeling before Malenia.
Witnessing this, the baron's family confirmed their suspicions. She really was his Mistress. The revelation was too shocking, especially since they couldn't comprehend why such a powerful being would serve a seemingly weak woman.
"Mistress, how would you like to exact revenge for what they did to you? Should I kill them slowly and painfully? Or perhaps have them ravaged by orcs?" Dante asked, suggesting various forms of retribution.
Though Malenia's anger had subsided somewhat, but she couldn't let them go unpunished. She responded,
"First, give the servants higher authority than the baron's family. And make that woman stay naked all the time. Order the servants to fuck her in front of her husband and son."
Malenia pointed at Sarah, the one who had ordered the knights to fuck her. This was her way of punishing Sarah, and by making Rick watch his wife be humiliated, she felt it was a good start to their punishment. The same would apply to Cedric, who would witness his mother being gang-raped by the servants.
The baron's family was horrified, but Malenia wasn't finished. "Also, make it so the baron and his son can't touch their own dicks or relieve themselves, no matter what." she added, making Sarah tremble with fear.
"No! I refuse! I will never have sex with those lowly servants!" Sarah declared defiantly.
The servants, who had suffered under Sarah's attitude for years, were enraged by her and became happy to follow through Malenia's plan.
Now they would have their chance to take revenge on their madam, who had treated them so cruelly. Moreover, they hadn't been able to touch Malenia in the basement, so they could unleash their lust on Sarah instead.
Dante nodded and carried out his Mistress's orders. "Do as she said, and if any of you attempt to escape or rebel, I'll kill you on the spot."
Dante's control over his slaves was far greater than that of typical slave collars, which merely inflicted pain for disobedience. He could directly alter their bodies or kill them at will.
"Dante, before their punishment begins, get all the information about this kingdom from Rick. We need to be cautious. If he's just a baron and this strong, we can't risk facing the higher nobles with our current power." Malenia transmitted her thoughts directly into Dante's mind.
She had no desire to risk her life again or become someone's slave. From now on, she will survive carefully.
Dante complied, sending the other slaves to the basement, except for Rick, whom he began interrogating.
Half an hour later*
Dante had gathered a lot of information about the kingdom from Rick, who, as a baron, had access to knowledge that commoners did not.
Nulliana Kingdom was located on the Monster Continent, a vast and largely 'unclaimed' territory. The people of Nulliana had migrated from the Human Continent to colonize this land, but they faced competition from other races with similar ambitions.
Nulliana regularly sent expeditions into the continent's forests to claim territory from the scattered, unintelligent monster population.
They considered this continent "ownerless" because of uncivilized monsters living on it. Over time, multiple races had established kingdoms on the continent, slowly conquering the monster territories...
Originally a dukedom of an empire on the Human Continent, Nulliana came to this continent and established itself as an independent kingdom due to a *rule* created by the World Council.
The noble hierarchy of the Nulliana Kingdom was as follows:
Class C: Baron
Class B: Count
Class A: Duke
Class S: King or Grand Duke
Class SS: Kingdom's Protector
In addition to the nobles, there was another powerful faction in the kingdom; the adventurers' guilds, home to several formidable individuals.
"These damn humans are always trying to steal from others." Dante scoffed.
After finishing his interrogation of Rick, Dante escorted him to the basement where the other slaves were gathered.
Upon entering the basement, Dante saw a group of servant slaves surrounding Sarah, who was naked and kneeling in the center.
Dante had given the servants higher authority, which allowed them to command Sarah, forcing her to pleasure them with her mouth.
"Dad! Look at what these damn servants are doing to Mom! Do something!" Cedric cried out, pleading to his father when he saw him entering.
But Rick's response shocked Cedric. "She deserves it. She was the one who antagonized Malenia and always acted high and mighty because of her stepfather."
Seeing the family bickering and Sarah on her knees sucking off the servants filled Dante with satisfaction.
He then recalled that Malenia had mentioned something about preventing Rick and Cedric from pleasuring themselves while watching Sarah's humiliation. So, Dante ordered the servants to bring the necessary items.
The head servant knew exactly what Dante meant and quickly left to retrieve them. A few minutes later, he returned with two chastity cages.
Dante handed the cages to Rick and Cedric, ordering them to put them on.
Afterward, Dante left the basement, uninterested in watching the humans defile one another...
