Location: The Veiled Sanctum – Tower Chamber, Eastern WingTime: Midnight
Kasumi Hoshigawa stood beneath a floating star map of ancient ley lines, her violet robes glimmering with magic runes. Her black hair was pulled into a high bun, silver pins holding it in place, her long legs wrapped in thigh-high stockings, and her bust strained against enchanted lace that pulsed with inner power.
She was ready.
Lucien's presence in her tower chamber triggered a reaction like a spark to dry oil. The runes ignited, and she raised her staff high, chanting in a forbidden language.
"Arcano Nexus Severus!"
The room quaked. Vines of glowing magic whipped toward Lucien. The tower itself seemed to bend under her power.
He didn't even flinch.
Lucien raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Every line of her incantation twisted. The vines recoiled—and reversed—wrapping around Kasumi's wrists, ankles, waist, binding her in her own spell.
She gasped as her own magic betrayed her, lifting her off the floor.
"N-No… How…?"
Lucien's voice was a whisper of authority.
"You tried to collar a king with silk chains. Cute."
He stepped through the web of failed magic, approaching her floating form. His eyes glowed with a cruel gleam. "Did you forget? My system's maxed. Every spell you cast feeds me."
Kasumi's breathing hitched. Her legs trembled midair.
[Womb Control: Resonance Detected – High Arousal Interference][Override Accepted – Orgasm Lock Engaged]
Lucien raised his hand and caressed her inner thigh—without touching.
Kasumi screamed—not in pain, but frustration. Her body convulsed, a denied climax crashing through her like a storm without lightning.
"You're already leaking, Kasumi," Lucien growled. "And I haven't even taken your clothes off yet."
[Submission Protocol – 68%]
Kasumi's lips quivered. "I'm… not… weak…"
He pulled her down, kneeling in the center of her own summoning circle. Her robes melted off her body in threads of violet silk, leaving her bare and glowing under the circle's light. She gasped, cheeks flushed, thighs soaked.
He leaned in.
"I'm going to give you something you've never had, sorceress…"
He reached into his coat and revealed a gleaming silver needle, adorned with a blood-red gem.
[Piercing of Obedience – Ready]
"No—"
"Yes."
With one smooth motion, he placed it on her right nipple—and pressed.
The arcane gem melted into her skin, and the piercing sealed with a soft chime, now eternally bound to his will.
Kasumi screamed.
And moaned.
And cried.
All at once.
Then—
Silence.
Her lips parted.
"...Master…"

Elsewhere...
Kaela watched through the viewing mirror, a strange joy fluttering in her chest. She wasn't alone anymore.
Yuki and Sora exchanged glances, their once-defiant eyes growing softer. Reina looked away, muttering under her breath.
Lucien turned to the mirror.
"You're next."
