Yubelluna shook her head. "They wouldn't want me. They would just want me to do what they want. I wouldn't be able to be me. They'd make me what they want."
My other eyebrow rose up to join the first. That…was a very simplistic way to say something incredibly insightful. For the first time since I'd arrived at her house, I looked at Yubelluna.
When a devil was genuinely considering making someone a member of their peerage, they would know how 'valuable' that person was, and what they would need to spend in order to reincarnate them.
I was surprised to find there were only two pieces I could use on Yubelluna to change her without using up almost all of my pawns. She had even more potential than I initially thought.
I held both of my hands palm up in front of me, and a small flame lit above each palm. When the fires faded, two chess pieces were resting atop my hands in the fire's place.
I heard two gasps and an interested hum as Yubelluna's parents couldn't believe their eyes and Clarissa realized what I was offering.
Yubelluna's eyes had gone wide as saucers as they rapidly shifted between the bright red, small, glowing piece in my left hand and the elegant, crimson piece in my other.
"Before you say anything, let me explain a few things." I said, forestalling any exclamations from anyone, though my words were directed at Yubelluna.
"This," I said, lifting up my left hand and the mutation bishop sitting on it. "Is a bishop. I'm sure you already know that, but let me explain what it means to me.
If I give you this, I'll expect you to help me in any and all of my mystical endeavors. I have a lot of plans regarding magic and they will all take a lot of dedicated time and toil to come to fruition.
You would be instrumental in facilitating that. Do you understand?"
Yubelluna nodded, then her eyes slowly panned over to the piece in my other hand.
Raising my right hand, I said, "This is my queen. Again, I'm sure you know what it is, but it also means something different to me.
If I give you this piece, you would become my right hand. You would rarely leave my side, and even then it would most often be on my orders.
When I am indisposed, you would issue orders in my place. I would also expect you to take up some form of martial combat.
Hand-to-hand, swords, axes, spears – the specific form wouldn't matter much to me, but if I were to boost all of your abilities with this, I would expect you to use that boost.
I would also expect you to tell me when I'm being an idiot." I heard shocked exclamations from her parents and a chuckle from Clarissa at my declaration, but I pushed on.
"I'm not naive enough to think I will always be right in everything I do, and I'm not arrogant enough to think I'll always be able to tell when those times are.
So, the duty of smacking me upside the head when I'm being stupid, even if it pisses me off, falls to my queen.
This," I hefted the piece higher for effect. "Represents the most responsibility." I raised the bishop above the queen.
"This represents a lot of responsibility, but quite a bit of freedom as well. If neither of these are attractive to you…" The two pieces disappeared in two great balls of fire, leaving seven pawns in their place.
Before I could get a word in, Yubelluna shouted, "No!" leaning forward and grasping futilely at the fading fire of my right hand.
Tilting my head curiously, I watched her reaction as I banished my pawns, recalling a single piece. When the fire faded, the only piece present was my queen.
Yubelluna's eyes bore into it hungrily, like a tiger observing its prey before it struck. Her arms quivered as an emotion flitted across her face that I couldn't quite decipher. Expectation? Desire?
I held the piece between my thumb and index finger and lifted it up to her eye level. "Are you sure? You know what I'll expect of you."
Yubelluna's eyes panned up to my own, and she nodded her head, determined. "I won't fail, my lord."
The corner of my mouth pulled upwards in a half-grin. I'd found my queen.
I stood up and offered the still kneeling girl my hand. She took it hesitantly and I pulled her to her feet.
"Pull down the front of your dress." I said.
Wordlessly, Yubelluna undid a fastener I hadn't even seen and pulled her dress down much further than necessary until it was almost down to her belly button.
She…wasn't wearing a bra.
Sparing only a quick look at her chest but remaining as respectful as possible, I pressed my queen into her chest.
Yubelluna gasped as the piece faded into her chest, her eyes flying wide as power wracked her form.
Her purple eyes glowed a piercing violet as magic flowed through her body. Simultaneously, her muscles contracted, and seemed to bulge.
