  ***********************************

  Alex strolled into the grand dining hall of the Silva Castle, his steps unhurried, exuding an air of domihat could make the most fearless knights tremble. He moved as if the castle were his personal domain, his presence a stark remihat he had nard for the s or the pride of royals and nobles.

  To him, they were little more than pompous individuals ging to diminishing power, areated their sanctuaries as casually as a tavern.

  Currently, the castle was eerily quiet. Noelle was resting after the grueling training Alex had put her through the previous night.

  Nozel and Solid were absent, occupied with urgent matters ing the Silva family's standing and their duties in maintaining the kingdom's fragile peace. Only Nebra remained in the castle, seated quietly in the dining hall.

  When Alex's figure ehe room, Nebra visibly stiffened, her face paling to the shade of a ghost. Memories of the ret battles against the elves flooded her mind—of her own pitiful performand of Alex's monstrous strength, which had effortlessly subdued not only the elves but also the devil itself. His power was a nightmare made flesh, and the recolle of his cold, dismissive treatment of her in the past made her feel unbearably small.

  Her eyes darted to the floor, her hands gripping the hem of her dress tightly. She lowered her head submissively, wishing she could disappear altogether. She dared not meet his gaze, her breath shallow and uneven.

  Alex halted in his stride, his sharp eyes immediately catg her trembling form. A devilish grin curled on his lips, the kind that promised torment and amusement at someone else's expense. He signaled for a maid to fetch him food, his voianding and curt, before turning his full attention to Nebra.

  "Is your wound healing properly?" His tone was deceptively calm, yet it carried an edge that made her feel as though a predator was cirg her.

  "Uhh... I..." Nebra stammered, her throat dry, her mind a whirl of panic. She hadn't expected him to aowledge her presence, let alone address her directly. She was so flustered that her words caught ihroat, her gaze still glued to the floor.

  Alex let out a sharp snort, his expression darkening with mockery. "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? Or did you mao knock your brain loose during the fight? Truly pathetic."

  He sneered, his voice cold enough to send a chill down her spine. "What use does your family even have for someone as utterly worthless as you?"

  The scathing words pierced her like daggers. Nebra's lips quivered, and tears welled up in her eyes. She bit her lip, trying to suppress the overwhelming urge to cry, but her posure was already crumbling under his gaze.

  "I-I…" she stuttered, her voice barely a whisper, her face burning with shame.

  Alex leaned forward slightly, his t frame casting a shadow over her. His smirk widened, his eyes gleaming with cruel amusement as he observed her pitiful state.

  "You 't even speak properly. Disgraceful," He scoffed, his tone dripping with disdain.

  Nebra fli his words, her fists g at her sides, but she remained silent, uo muster the ce to defend herself. She could only sit there, humiliated, as Alex tio watch her with a predatrin, relishing her disfort like a cat pying with a ered mouse.

  "Heh... What a pitiful sight," Alex said, leaning ba his chair with an air of utter pt. His sharp, uing gaze bore down on Nebra, whose trembling form was already betraying her fractured posure. "Just look at yourself. You don't have a single redeeming quality. Aside from the surname Silva, is there anythiely worth mentioning about you? You couldn't even hold yround against a single elf—you got your sorry ass hao you instead. What a piece of trash."

  A cruel grin tugged at his lips, his words cutting into her pride like a bde.

  Boom!

  It was as if his words had ignited an explosion within her. Nebra's face turned ashen, her bid from the impact of his s. She had grown up aced to adoration and fttery, her world filled with sycophants who praised her simply for existing. This was the first time anyone had dared to strip her bare with such brutal, unfiving insults.

  "I—" She tried to speak, her voice faltering as she sought to defend herself.

  But Alex's eyes narrowed, ailted his head slightly, his tone like ice. "Did I say you could speak?"

  !!!

  Nebra's lips snapped shut, her head bowing lower as a wave of shame washed over her. The room felt suffog as Alex's voice tinued, each word slig through her self-esteem like a whip.

  "You're so utterly unappealing that even looking at you kills all my emotions," Alex sneered, his tone ced with venom. "You're her strong and untamed like Mereoleona, nor sweet and alluring like Mimosa, aainly not cute or beautiful like Noelle. Are you even sure you belong to the Silva family? You're nothing but a stain on their name, an embarrassment of a royal. What a useless woman."

  Boom!

  Another verbal blow struck her, shattering whatever remained of her fideears pooled in her eyes, spilling over as silent sobs wracked her frame. The maids standing nearby exged uneasy gheir faces pale with fear.

  One by ohey began slipping out of the hall, terrified of Alex's domineering aura and unwilling to risk incurring his wrath.

  "..." Nebra bit her lower lip hard, trying to hold back her cries, but it was futile. She was breaking apart uhe relentless assault of his words.

  Alex, unmoved by her tears, leaned forward slightly, his voice growing even more cutting. "You're twenty-four, aren't you? Nearly a decade older than Mimosa and Noelle. Ahis is the best you do? Look at you, sitting there g like a child. What a plete waste of space."

  "T-That's not—" Nebra tried to protest, her voice barely above a whisper.

  Bam!

  Alex smmed his hand onto the table, the sound reverberating through the hall like a gunshot. Nebra flinched violently, her entire body trembling as she shrank bato her chair. His cold, pierg eyes pinned her in a pce like a predator ering its prey.

  "Hey," he said sharply, his voice dripping with disdain. "Didn't I tell you not to speak?"

  "I'm sorry," Nebra choked out, her words punctuated by sobs. Her hands gripped the edges of her dress tightly, her knuckles white. "I'm so, so sorry."

  Finally, her posure crumbled entirely, and she broke down, her cries filling the y hall. At the end of the day, she was only twenty-four—still young, still fragile beh the fa?ade of nobility. No one, not even she, could withstand the full force of Alex's unyielding s.

  Alex leaned ba his chair, his expression as unbothered as ever. To him, her tears were nothing more than a testament to her weakness—a weakness he had no iion of sparing.

  "Now, now..." Alex leaned forward slightly, his lips curling into a devilish smirk. His voice dropped to a low, velvety tohat sent shivers down Nebra's spine. "Since I'm such a generous guy, I'm willing to make an exception—even for an irredeemable piece of trash like you. I could take care of you… but only if you bey obedient little pet."

  Ba-dum!

  The words hit Nebra like a bolt of lightning. Her breath caught ihroat, and her mind spiraled.

  'H-He'll take care of me… as his obedie?'

  The very idea sent her heart rag, the pounding in her chest almost deafening. Her cheeks flushed a deep crimson, her body heating up untrolbly under his pierg gaze.

  "You'd like that, wouldn't you?" Alex's voice was like honey ced with poisoing and dangerous. He tilted his head slightly, his ash-blond hair catg the light, his smirk widening as he watched her rea.

  "I… I…" Nebra stammered, her mind a chaotic mess. Her memories of him fshed vividly—every enter, every insult, every time he crushed her dignity underfoot without a sed thought. Alex had reated her like the royal she was, never bowed to her status or name. He had trampled her pride mercilessly, exposing just how insignifit she truly was.

  Yet, somehow, that very humiliation had bee intoxig.

  A part of her—a part she didn't fully uand—yearned for the way he dominated her, the way he stripped her bare of all pretense a her feeling vulnerable and small. pared to every other man she had met, Alex was different. He wasn't a sycophant or a ftterer. He didn't treat her like something precious to be admired from afar. He treated her like something to be quered, and that thrilled her in ways she could never admit aloud.

  Her heartbeat quied as her thoughts spiraled further.

  Even Julius Novao, the Magic Emperor himself, couldn't make me bow like this. But Alex…

  Just thinking about submitting to him, kneeling at his feet in front of everyone, sent her instincts into overdrive. Her body shivered as the idea of willingly herself to him pself firmly in her mind.

  "Well?" Alex leaned closer, his sharp eyes b into hers. "What's it going to be? Do you want it?"

  His tone was ced with finality as if dario resist when he already knew her answer.

  Nebra hesitated for a split sed, her thoughts a whirlwind of fusion and desire. Slowly, she raised her head, her gaze log onto his. The iy of his expressio her breathless. Her lips parted slightly, but no words came out. Instead, she he gesture small but decisive.

  "Good," Alex said with a satisfied smirk, leaning ba his chair. The way her eyes glimmered with infatuation and submission told him all he o know.

  She was his now—pletely and utterly.

  At that moment, Nebra Silva, a proud royal of the Silva family, had surrendered herself to him. Alex knew he had her—mind, body, and soul. He didn't just dominate her; he owned her, and she would willingly serve him without hesitation.

  "Then why don't you prove it?" Alex leaned forward, his grin widening into something both menag and predatory. "Show me just how much of a loyal little bitch you be."

  Nebra's breath hitched at his and. Without a sed of hesitation—almost as if her body acted on instinct—she parted her lips and…

  "Ruff!"

  Her voice came out timid yet obedient. She immediately followed with another, louder bark. "Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!"

  Alex's grin widened, his expression brimming with smug satisfa.

  "Good girl," He said, his deep voice dripping with mockery as he reached out to pat her head, his touch firm yet anding.

  The moment his hand made taebra's heart raced wildly in her chest, her entire body tingling with inexplicable heat. Her cheeks burned red, but she didn't pull away.

  Instead, she leaned into his touch, her head gently rubbing against his rge hand as a soft, almost purring sound escaped her lips.

  Her mind reeled, the humiliation of the situation g with an untrolble wave of satisfa.

  Why… why does this feel so good?

  Nebra couldn't uand herself, but the power he exuded, the dominan his as—it was intoxig.

  Alex chuckled darkly, the sound sending a shiver down her spine.

  "Look at you," He sneered, his hand tilting her upward to meet his gaze. "You're so pathetic… but I suppose even a pathetic bitch has her uses."

  Her heart throbbed at his words, and though she knew she should feel ashamed, all she could focus on was the pride gleaming in his sharp eyes as he looked at her.
