Chapter 340: Chapter 223: Forbidden Punishment_3
"Remember how you told us about the 108 heroes of Liangshan Marsh? Since our Lady Naferutali is willing to surrender voluntarily, why don’t we give her a chance and let her submit a ’statement of surrender’?"
As she spoke, Nifadora leaned in close to David’s ear flap and whispered, "Besides, the Drow will be a sharp knife against the High Elves in the future. If you feel that simply letting her off isn’t enough to quell the anger in your heart, don’t forget, your ’ancestor’ Christoph is still in the Gloomy Region. When the time comes, just hand her over to him for training."
Damn! Venomous as a green bamboo snake’s bite, but a Green Dragon’s heart is the most poisonous of all!
Unable to contain his amusement, David couldn’t help but give Nifadora’s trembling buttocks a smack with his tail, prompting her to let out an utterly heartless giggle.
This scene only made Naferutali even more anxious, but she had no choice. Having made the Spider Queen’s blacklist, if she wanted to continue surviving on the surface, she needed to deal with the Dragon before her.
Though she didn’t know what the ’statement of surrender’ really entailed, she knew an opportunity had presented itself.
Indeed, compared to dealing with a Red Dragon whose mood swings and chaotic thoughts were utterly incomprehensible, the Drow found it more comforting to interact with the wise Green Dragon.
Seizing the moment, she immediately resolved to say, "King Klinsmann is currently gathering the powerful individuals and emissaries of the Central Earth nations in the Luwalden Royal Capital to form an alliance against Prince David Uthos. I, too, am one of the invited parties.
"If I were to sabotage this alliance, could it serve as my ’statement of surrender’ to earn your forgiveness for my crimes?"
Hmm? For real? David had thought Luwalden was just tossing out half-truths and smokescreens.
Interest piqued, he said, "Sabotage? Why destroy it? Why not, we join in instead."
If the nations of Central Earth were truly intent on uniting against him, destroying their alliance once would only lead to a second and third attempt. Unless, that is, they could be made to lose their foundational trust in each other completely.
"Huh?" Naferutali was somewhat puzzled.
"How many slots do you have?" David squinted and asked.
"Five," answered the Drow.
"Hmm, I want all five of those slots."
"...Alright... okay." Naferutali seemed to have guessed this Dragon’s sinister intentions. She glanced at the Barbarian and Ogre, uncertain which other kin he planned to send.
"Well, that settles this matter. See to the arrangements. Although I’ve accepted your offer of reconciliation, I still feel somewhat unsatisfied letting you off so easily," David said slowly, rising to loom over the Drow.
Here it comes! Naferutali’s heart started pounding, fully expecting the Dragon to vent his anger on her.
But that was exactly what she wanted! This was her battlefield of expertise.
"I submit to your punishment! If only you can forgive my unintentional transgression," Naferutali said, feigning shyness with her hands demurely placed.
THUMP.
Then, a pants-sized object landed in front of her. It was unmistakably a chastity belt—a trophy from when David had raided the treasury of Spider Nest City.
Most of those ’toys’ had been given to his mother, Pafila, to amuse her old family members. This item, meant for women, had been kept aside, as his parents had no use for it.
Naferutali stared at David, her face a mask of utter confusion.
David returned her gaze with a maliciously grim smile and said, "You desecrated the bloodline of my kin.
"You shall repay it by abstaining from all desire.
"Do this for ten years, and I will forgive your transgression."
The thought of ten years without being able to touch a man drove Naferutali to Despair. She collapsed, almost prostrate in anguish, and cried out, "Just kill me instead!!!"
