(MC POV)
I continued to follow Diao Chan secretly the entire time so I got to see what she did for the entire day, which mostly involved her torturing some guy that was practically begging for it.
Lke before, I would have pitied them but all of them were enjoying it so I didn't really feel anything for them.
The surprising thing was that Diao Chan was quite creative in her tortures even though I've never seen her being an S before. At least none of her 'victims' received any permanent injuries thanks to all of them being healed up after their sessions.
Aside from the paddling and whipping, she also did some waterboarding, stepping, binding, maiming, decapitation, reality warping and some old fashioned spanking.
I also noticed that she seemed to spend a lot of time torturing the king, which I suppose had something to do with her position as his 'Mistress'.
NRight now I'm just watching the king prostrate himself in front of Diao Chan while she stepped on his head with her heel.
"Who's a good little piggy?" She asked condescendingly.
"I am! I am!"
Diao Chan lifted her foot to stomp down on his head, "That's not the sound a piggy makes."
Understanding what she wanted, the king quickly changed his voice, "Oink! Oink! Oink!"
"That's a good little piggy. Does the little piggy want a reward?"
"Oink oink!"
Diao Chan materialised a food bowl meant for pets and filled it with what looks like some gruel before dropping it on the ground.
"Here you go, little piggy. Eat your fill~"
"Oink!!"
The king crawled on all fours and started stuffing his face with the gruel, completely showing no signs of his dignity as a king.
He only managed to eat a few mouthfuls of it before Diao Chan stamped her food down on top of his head again, smashing his face into the bowl and splashing the gruel all over his face.
She held her foot there, keeping him there to suffocate for a moment before releasing him.
The king gasped for air and made some pathetic snorting sounds as he tried to blow out the gruel stuck in his nose.
Before he could fully clear his nose, Diao Chan had pushed him back inside the bowl again with her foot, keeping him inside it for a few more seconds before allowing him to breathe once more.
She repeated it several times until the bowl was empty and she removed her leg from the top of his head.
"Oh~ Seems like my good little piggy ate all his food! What a good piggy!"
"Oi… Oink! Oink!"
Damn… The simping I'd real… Not gonna lie though, sadistic Diao Chan is kind of hot, I can totally imagine a line of people queuing up to ask to get stepped on by her.
Me? Sorry, but I'm not into that in the slightest bit. Also, I'm pretty sure if I were to ask Diao Chan to step on me, she'd just pass out or refuse vehemently.
So I'm happy to just watch her sadistic side from a distance.
And just as I thought of that, there was a loud explosion coming from outside the castle, prompting the king to scramble up to his feet to run towards the window.
Diao Chan did not seem that concerned as she strolled over to it with myself following a few stepa behind her.
Outside in the palace's courtyard, we found a large group of men being led by the prince all gathered with their weapons raised and shaking at the king.
I know that they were all men since every single one of them were wearing those fetish outfits. And yes, it also has the hood that covered their faces so I assume that cloth was not as opaque as I thought since they could clearly see through it.
"Father!! We have had enough!! You've monopolised Mistress's attention all this while and all we get is just a few paltry seconds with her!! We demand that you abdicate or we shall revolt!!"
The men behind him all roared out in agreement.
Huh… They're seriously fighting over a single woman?
Then again, I suppose Diao Chan was worth fighting a country over…
The king roared back at them, "How dare you!! I am your king!! It is natural for the Mistress's attention to be on me!! You dare go against me?!!"
"You heard our demands, Father!! Relinquish your title as king right now!!"
"Never!! GUARDS!!!"
The doors to the courtyard opened and several armed guards spilled out from within the palace, all of them also wearing the fetish outfits.
They moved to encircle the protestors with their spears levelled at their chests.
Feng Xian, the prince, also moved to flare his halberd in an attempt to intimidate the guards. But since he was wearing that fetish outfit, it just looked ridiculous instead.
I also realised that this might have been what happened between the prince and the king in our original World which led to him running to our side of the Death Mountains with Diao Chan.
Meanwhile, the cause of this conflict was just watching the entire scene with an amused expression on her face while leaning against the window, as though she was simply watching a play.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!" Feng Xian threatened the guards.
His threat seemed to have intimidated a few of the guards successfully since they hesitated and took a step back.
The others were not as worried and advanced on him and his group.
That was the cue for the melee to start as Feng Xian leapt forward, impaling the guard closest to him on his halberd before swinging him to the side to smash against the next guard.
He then spun his halberd in a circle and brought the blade down to split the guard on his other side in two.
Emboldened by their leader, the rest of the protestors also charged at the guards. Some of them losing their lives instantly as the guards thrusted their spears to impale them.
It was clear that Feng Xian was the only proficient fighter amongst the protestors as most of them were quickly cut down, leaving only a few left to support Feng Xian.
Unfortunately for the guards, the prince's skills were beyond theirs as he easily killed any guards that went against him, effectively soloing the entire fight.
Feng Xian pointed his bloodied halberd at the king, "Father! Last chance for you to get out of this alive!! Or your head shall be mounted on my halberd tonight!!"
The king was not even the slightest bit intimidated and even drew his sword to point back at the prince, "You have the guts?! Then come and get it!!"
Of course, the prince accepted that challenge and stormed into the palace with the remainder of his followers.
The sounds of fighting then reverberated throughout the palace as the prince fought his way up here.
The king turned to Diao Chan, "Do not worry, Mistress! I will protect you!"
Diao Chan merely waved her hand in his direction without looking at him, clearly not even needing his protection at all.
Well… I guess Diao Chan would get her court drama after all.
