Arthur had barely finished his sentence when the rhythmic sound of steady footsteps echoed through the stone corridor outside the cell. It was a sound that combined the clank of metal armor with the tap of a diamond-encrusted staff striking the ground with a provocative solemnity.
The heavy door swung open, and Seraphine, the High Priestess of the Temple of Light, stepped inside. She was the embodiment of sacred beauty: a long white robe wrapped around her slender figure, golden hair framing her face like a halo, and blue eyes that suggested innocence and purity.
Seraphine stopped abruptly, her eyes widening in disbelief at the scene: General Lilith, the most powerful woman in the empire, standing beside a lowly "servant," her clothes torn and her eyes overflowing with an unnatural gleam.
"Lilith? What is the meaning of this?" Seraphine shrieked, raising her magical staff. "Why haven't you killed this insect yet? And why do you reek of... black magic and lust?"
Before Lilith could speak, the system screen flashed before Arthur:
> **[Target: Seraphine - Rank: Priestess of Light (Level 30)]**
> **[Status: "Sacred Pride" - Weak Point: "Religiously Suppressed Desire"]**
> **[Sovereignty Command: Order Lilith to break her pride now!]**
>
Arthur smiled and sat on a broken stone bench as if he were sitting on a golden throne. "Lilith... tell her who you belong to now. And teach her how to address your master."
Without a moment's hesitation, and with a lightning speed the Priestess could not track, Lilith lunged toward Seraphine. In a single second, Lilith's powerful hand was wrapped around Seraphine's throat, pinning her forcefully against the stone wall.
"Ah! Lilith... you're insane! I'll sentence you for heresy!" Seraphine screamed, trying to muster her Light magic, but she froze when she saw the glowing tattoo on Lilith's neck. "This... a slavery contract? Have you submitted to this scum?"
"Say 'Master' when you speak of him," Lilith whispered into Seraphine's ear in a voice dripping with venom and pleasure. "Or I will make that sacred tongue taste the flavor of blood."
Arthur approached slowly and stood before the terrified Priestess. He used the **[Desire Sight]** skill, and suddenly he saw what lay beneath Seraphine's white robe; he saw her racing heartbeat, and he saw how her body, despite her fear, was reacting to the atmosphere charged with dominance.
"They say you are pure, Seraphine," Arthur said, passing his hand near her face without touching it, making her shudder. "But my system says you possess the deepest and most... wild fantasies."
"You... you are a demon!" Seraphine spat, but her tears began to flow.
> **[Skill Activated: "Corruptor's Aura"]**
> **[Priestess's Resistance dropping: 80%... 60%... 40%]**
>
"Lilith, strip her of her staff and her pride," Arthur commanded coldly. "I want her to sit at my feet beside you. There is room here for two jewels."
With a magical touch from Lilith, the sacred protection shields around Seraphine shattered. The Priestess collapsed to the floor, her white robe disheveled, sweeping the dust of the dungeon. Arthur found himself looking down at two of the most powerful women in the world; one fully submitted, and the other's fortresses beginning to crumble before his dark authority.
"I will make you pray to me instead of your gods," Arthur said, lifting his foot for Seraphine to place her trembling hand upon it, marking the beginning of her breaking.
