Chapter 70 Sabrina's Punishment

"Fufu, So Lady Rina, were you invited to the punishment room that you said you specially built for me? Ah my poor lady, given how angry our master is, you will certainly spend a bad quarter of an hour! Nyahaha!" Nicco reminded her, looking with pity for her. But just with her sarcastic laughter, Sabrina knew she was happy with her fate!

"Tch, annoying cat!" Sabrina.

"Lady Rina, I don't think he's going to be as hard with you as with Nicco. After all, you asked us to keep its information for his safety. I'm sure he knows that." Ashia came in a friendly tone.

"Just that's why he's furious with me and wants me to go there alone. Because he knows that it was I who decided to hide this information from him. Sigh, things couldn't be worse!" She says with concern.

The more they spoke to each other, the more curious and confused Yuer became about it. But since it was Sabrina, she felt that it was rude on her part to ask for such things. In the end, she succumbed to her curiosity. As Sabrina escorted the guests to the exit, she approached Ashia and asked him. "Tell me, what kind of punishment is it for Lady Rina to feel so nervous at this point?" Even if among the maids, Nicco is the most open to discussion, she could not ask her the question, since she had suffered the same fate as Sabrina is about to suffer.

"Ah, it's you Yuer. Listen to me, as you are news, if you have to give you any advice, it is to move away from all the acts that may lead you to the punishment room!" She says in a low voice.

"Is that dangerous?" Exclaimed Yuer with confusion.

Hearing her words, Ashia looks around her with caution. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she approached her mouth on Yuer's fox ears and whispered a few things that made the fluffy and snow-white ears shudder. As Alshia explained Nicco's misfortune to her, she became redder and redder. She couldn't help looking at Sabrina's back with compassion!

...

"Sabrina, try to reason with your master. I think he doesn't understand the seriousness of the things he asks!" Alice said as she walked towards a gigantic golden arch that was hundreds of meters long.

"Tsk, do you know what kind of problem you caused me? But despite everything, do you still want to continue? The choice of my master is an order for me. That's your problem, not mine!" She said on her way back to the castle.

"I think we need to hold a meeting to make a decision and decide on our future steps." Proposed Cheera looking at Sabrina who was moving away from them with mixed feelings. For some reason she didn't know, she envied Sabrina and the people who lived in this castle. It was the first time she envied someone without knowing what she envied from them.

"Humph, since we do not have enough time, come to my kingdom with me. I think we have a lot to exchange!" Yury asserted in a gloomy tone. She was naturally angry with Alvine who seemed to want to swallow what he could not chew. At first, it was her goal to tame Alvine and make him her little doggy; even if she had failed, she had not abandoned me. But she had never expected Alvine to have the same goal. And unlike her, Alvine targeted not only her but also all the most powerful sovereigns and influential races on the continent of Alzania. Who couldn't guess Alvine's intentions? If unfortunately, he succeeds in his blow, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he will be the only ultimate sovereign of the continent of Alzania!

...

Three hours later, Alvine, who was meditating in his room and processing the information he had just learned, suddenly opened his sky blue eyes. After a few stretches, he felt like he had forgotten something. Just as he wondered what it was, he suddenly remembered Sabrina.

"Sigh, I had too much in my head that had disoriented me. If I let Sabrina get away unscathed, she will never stop wanting to carry everything on her shoulders. If things continue like this, it would not be an exaggeration for her to suffer the same fate as Helen." He addressed himself while being immersed in his thoughts. Since Helen's incident, he had promised himself to do everything in his power to ensure that similar incidents no longer occur.

"Sigh, Hélène spends most of the time in restful sleep. Even if she had told me not to worry... I can't help but worry about her. She hasn't woken up yet since I was with Celestia in the mansion at the academy. Sigh, let's settle things one by one. For now, the task I have is... Sabrina, the leaders... and finally, the preparation for the future battle!" After clarifying his next maneuvers, he left his room and headed for the lower floor. Direction... the punishment room that Sabrina herself had constructed.

...

In a room dimly lit with magic stones and equipped with all kinds of barriers and mystical formations that Sabrina had put all her heart into during its construction, Sabrina herself stood in the middle of the room with mixed feelings. She had never expected her one day to set foot in this room in such conditions! She knew more than anyone the dangerousness of this room towards themselves. The queen of chaos who was none other than Nicco had spent more than a month without causing any trouble after her exit to this room!

She couldn't help but remember her memories when she wrote her array on walls and floors! The arrays that marked her mind were: suppression, illusion, increased sensitivity, and above all the array of the materialization of thoughts! And other vicious formations that she did not even dare to imagine their effects. Since Alvine had a natural gift with the opposite sex, it was a better solution she had found to help Alvine better train her two troublemakers! She hadn't even imagined for a single second that she would one day make this bitter experience!

I've been here for more than two hours. Ashia had however informed me through the communication parchment that he was still in his room... could he forget me?' When she comes to this conclusion, her face regained a bit of color.

*Click! *

While she hoped that a miracle would happen, the door of the room suddenly opened. As Alvine entered the room and locked it behind him, all her hopes flew out the window. Her gloomy expression turned into discomfort!

As for Alvine, instead of focusing on Sabrina, he checked each arrays that were drawn on the walls and floor of the empty room. After five minutes of inspection. He had a smile when he turned to Sabrina and strolled toward her. When he was a few centimeters from her, he looked her straight in the eyes or fairly the contour of Sabrina's angelic face which had her eyes lowered. "I'm surprised that you haven't altered the formation." He said with a surprised air.

"I wouldn't dare to do such a thing, Master." She replied firmly.

'How scary can their loyalties sometimes be?!' He asked Himself with complicated feelings.

"Mh, one array you had set up in this room actually allows me to materialize everything I can imagine with my mana energy. This is something I never thought would be possible. Magic is ridiculously limitless." he complimented. The two could feel the breath of each other's breathing because of the short distance between them.

"..." -Sabrina, always silent with her eyes down. She was too embarrassed to cross Alvine's gaze at the moment.

"Well, before I start, I have a few questions for you. But before that," without even cutting his finger, a drop of blood floated above his index finger when he used his blood skill. The drop of blood flew away and landed on the huge formation that was in the middle of the room. As his blood came into contact with the central array, all the other formations in the room shone in different colors as beautiful as each other! But Sabrina did not have the luxury of enjoying such a magnificent scene. On the contrary, her expression becomes more nervous! It was also the first time that Alvine saw her with such expressions. She, who was strong and proud of the most powerful and ruthless rulers, was now like a little girl who was about to receive punishment from her father!

"M-Master, why... the formations look more powerful than... usual?!" She stuttered by asking this question with a mosquito voice. Even if she taught Alvine the art of craftsmen, she did not remember that she had taught the strengthening of training! Because she believed that Alvine had simply not yet reached this level. If she rushed things, it could hinder his progress. But what she did not know, was what Alvine had noticed this anomaly himself when he was here with Nicco. For some reason he did not know himself, it seems that his blood could boost the effects of the arrays in this room. He was not yet sure whether it worked with his formations or whether it worked with all kinds of formations.

But since he did not have enough information about it, he turned a deaf ear to Sabrina's question. "Sabrina, do you know why I convened you here?"

"But you still don't understand?! All we have done so far is only to serve you regardless of the risk or what we need to sacrifice to achieve it! When will you accept this reality? Can you imagine how we will feel when something happens to you? This pain that gnawed at my heart every second when this madwoman captured you? Do you know how we felt when we learned that we had failed in our duty?! Please master, never ask us not to protect you at the risk of our lives." For the first time, Sabrina raised her voice against him. He knew that it was the characteristic of one of the formations that pushed them to confess what they had kept deep in their souls!

"Sigh, apparently, the things will be more complicated than I imagined. Sabrina, do you have so little confidence in me? Do you think that simply informing me about future threats will weaken or break my will? You not only disappointed me, but you really made me angry by judging me like that." He announced with a hint of sadness and anger.

"No, master. I have never had such prejudices about you. On the contrary, you are our...

Alvine arrested her before she could finish her sentence. "No matter what you think of me. Your actions only show me the opposite. What did you have in mind when you hid such things from me? Maybe you wanted me to live carefree like an ignorant person who thinks everything is pink around him? While you protect my backs throughout my life? I have a question, do you really think that by leaving me in this illusory bubble, I would become a better person?"

"That's not how I would develop in the future. Your methods are wrong! You can never protect me from all dangers. You haven't forgotten what I had experienced in the dungeon, didn't you? At that moment, I was alone there where I could only count on my skills and my own will! You must understand only one thing, no matter your efforts, you could never foresee all the dangers that the future has in store for us! So stop being so stubborn in the future." Knowing Sabrina's personality, he knew that things won't be as simple with her. And He could confirm it just by seeing Sabrina's silence.

Without waiting for another second, he slammed his fingers. At the same time, the empty room that was occupied only with arrays suddenly turned into a red room with strange equipment that left Sabrina in a state of extreme perplexity. There was equipment that she had never seen before and others that looked like punishment materials for children. Like a leather whip that could not cause her the slightest injury even if it is used by an emperor mage, strange handcuffs with rags on their wrists, and other strange items that all had one thing in common... they could not cause her the slightest injury!

'Sigh, it looks like I've had false hopes for myself, he's still not ready. If only he could abandon this goodness he keeps in him towards us? Sigh, Fortunately, Sylvia's psychopath is not with us at the moment.' She concluded internally by seeing the toys on the table next to the bed, which was also materialized by Alvine. It's that she didn't know, that Alvine had not only materialized the (set of beginner "bondage") of her original world But their effects were actually multiplied by him thanks to magic. He knew that Sabrina was not only powerful, but she had a steel mind. If she wants to punish her properly, he must be ruthless towards her. "Oh, seeing your facial expression that has improved... I can confirm that you underestimate my work. Am I wrong?" He asked with an innocent smile.

"Master, I can't deny your words, but you are too sympathetic, and your actions only convince me more that you are not ready. At first, I felt a little nervous when you convened me here. But I also felt happy to see you make good decisions. But when I saw that you still don't have enough willpower to hurt us, I realized that you are not ready yet. As you said earlier, magic has no limits, what will happen if someone succeeds in turning us against you thanks to the spells that force people against their will? Will you be able to make good decisions against us? Would you be determined to kill us for your survival?" She said, plunging her gaze into Alvine's with her frown. Seeing Alvine who was silent this time, she sighed and said to him.

"Master, do you want me to confide in you in the future and not act like a maid who simply wants to overprotect her master? So if you succeed in getting me abandoned in this punishment room, I swear with your name that I would not make any decision that will endanger our lives without consulting you before! Even if it's for your protection!" She says by challenging Alvine in his own games.

"Well, I couldn't dream better. Sabrina, you will understand why the person who preceded you in this room softened like a lamb for a month!" He says with determined eyes.
