Her lower body slowly became wet.

She didn’t know what this meant.

But seeing the expression on Loyer’s face as he looked at her, she felt certain that something was going wrong.

That wasn’t all. Those who had been looking at her body with sticky gazes just now had expressions as if they were swallowing their saliva.

The only feeling she felt upon seeing that was disgust.

‘…Filthy humans.’

Originally, Natasha’s feeling towards the human race was indifference.

Frankly speaking, there was no reason to get involved, and even the times she had been involved were stories from dozens or hundreds of years ago.

To her, humans were just a race she had heard about in the distant past. She was already upset that humans had created such a civilization.

The elves, who were called the most outstanding intelligent beings among God’s creations, were on the verge of extinction.

Humans, who could be called the most inferior race compared to those with outstanding bodies like orcs, outstanding minds like elves, and outstanding craftsmanship like dwarves, expanded their power.

And now they were in a position to sufficiently humiliate the elves.

The fact that she was being treated like a spectacle for humans in this state was proof of that.

Of course, she couldn’t help but feel ashamed.

But the situation wasn’t just ending with that.

“It seems like the atmosphere isn’t conducive to focusing on the meeting.”

All the vassals in the conference hall focused their attention on Loyer’s serious tone.

The fact that Loyer, who usually spoke in a rather light tone, was speaking in such a serious tone meant that there was a very important matter at hand.

“It seems like you’re all very interested in the new maid?”

Loyer’s gaze moved one by one to the vassals who had been looking at Natasha for the longest time.

The vassals who received his sharp gaze could only tremble due to the suffocating pressure.

No matter how noble they were, their lives could be in danger of being dragged to the plaza and beheaded the next day if they incurred the emperor’s displeasure.

Of course, receiving Loyer’s gaze was not a good thing. Moreover, he seemed quite angry right now.

They trembled even more.

“…Your Majesty, it’s not that…”

“Don’t say another word.”

‘…It’s over.’

The vassals’ faces darkened rapidly.

The fact that he wouldn’t even listen to their excuses meant that he had essentially handed down a summary judgment.

The vassal who received Loyer’s gaze first had an expression as if he had given up on everything.

He just hoped that all of this wouldn’t spread to his family.

But Loyer’s subsequent words were very shocking.

“Vassals who are distracted by Natasha, I really can’t hide my disappointment.”

“……”

The vassals had nothing to say, even if they had ten mouths.

“But wouldn’t this also be a problem for Natasha, who has a body that can’t help but be distracting?”

“Y-yes, that’s right!”

“That’s right, we should say that the maid who is wearing clothes that seduce men with such a vulgar body is also at fault.”

The vassals quickly grasped what Loyer wanted. They had lived their lives watching others’ expressions, so they were experts at understanding Loyer’s intentions.

For them, reading faces was a means of making a living and one of the only ways to protect their lives.

Right now, their instincts kept whispering.

They couldn’t miss this opportunity.

This was the only chance they had to survive.

Natasha questioned the sound she had just heard.

How was that her problem?

It was Loyer’s intention to have her sit here in this state.

It was definitely not what she wanted.

But Loyer began to lead the situation as if she had chosen to wear these clothes.

“……What are you talking about!”

Natasha involuntarily shouted in a burst of questions and anger.

But it didn’t take long for her to realize that it was a bad move.

“How dare you, a maid, raise your voice to His Majesty the Emperor!!”

“Your Majesty, that maid must be dealt with according to the laws of the Empire!”

All the vassals, without exception, demanded Natasha’s punishment.

They could always find a reason to justify it.

The biggest reason was, of course, ‘disobedience to the Emperor’s orders’ or ‘disrespect to the Emperor’.

This was the situation that Loyer wanted.

Loyer stared intently at Natasha.

How would she react?

He was very curious about the reaction that Natasha, who was generally unfamiliar with this kind of atmosphere, would show.

‘Will she be flustered? Or will she be angry? Or will she submit?’

No matter what choice she made, it was undeniable that a quite enjoyable situation would unfold.

***

Bewilderment and anger.

Those were the two emotions that summed up what Natasha was feeling right now.

In addition, there was also shame and humiliation.

Loyer continued to drive the situation in a direction that would shame her.

Of course, it was a very nerve-wracking experience for Natasha, who had never experienced such a thing before.

“If that’s your opinion, then I must administer punishment.”

Loyer rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment.

What kind of punishment should he give?

What kind of punishment should he give to inflict a level of shame on Natasha that she had never experienced before?

He pondered that very carefully.

After a moment, a thought flashed through his mind, and a smile escaped him.

The vassals couldn’t help but feel their hearts sink when they saw Loyer smile.

They had hardly ever seen him smile. The last time he had smiled was when he had personally beheaded a vassal who had been caught for treason.

That’s how mentally unstable Loyer was in a way that ordinary people couldn’t understand.

They still vividly remembered the image of him laughing as he beheaded the person. For those people, Loyer’s smile was like a trigger that made them feel uneasy.

They felt a little sorry in their hearts.

It was as if they had sent the elf to hell in order to survive.

But Loyer’s words were truly unexpected.

“Do you think you did something wrong, Natasha?”

“……”

Natasha shook her head instead of answering.

This was also a very disrespectful act towards the Emperor.

“You don’t think you did anything wrong, then it will be difficult for me to punish you.”

There was no way Loyer would give up so easily.

The vassals felt something was wrong.

“But nodding your head without answering just now is no different from completely ignoring my manners.”

“……”

“So, I think I need to give you a punishment for that.”

“What kind of punishment are you thinking of giving……?”

Natasha managed to utter a word with difficulty. She had no intention of using honorifics, but it was as if it had been completely engraved in her mind because of the switch she had been hit with before.

Because of that, very awkward honorifics flowed out.

Loyer took out a switch as if he had been waiting for it. It was made of much thicker and harder wood than the one he had used to train the maid earlier.

“As expected, there’s nothing like a switch for etiquette education. What do you all think?”

The vassals, who already knew the answer Loyer wanted, all showed a positive reaction.

“Your Majesty is right!”

“I also often use a switch when disciplining slaves or children.”

“The switch has been medicine since ancient times.”

Looking at the vassals’ reactions, Loyer smiled.

With the switch held high, his mouth slowly moved.

“That’s what they say. Natasha? Kneel down and present your buttocks immediately.”

“……I won’t do such a thing.”

“You better do it quickly. I don’t have much patience. It’s up to you to choose whether it’s better to kneel down and present your buttocks now, or to be tied up in the plaza and whipped.”

After hearing those words, Natasha began to worry a lot.

Being whipped in the plaza meant that everyone passing through the plaza would see her disgraceful state.

Furthermore, if he was talking about whipping, there was a high possibility that it wouldn’t be such a thin switch.

In the end, it was as if there was no choice.

Natasha took a deep breath for a moment and then came to the front of Loyer.

In front of the Emperor’s throne, Natasha knelt down and raised her buttocks straight back.

As Natasha’s body, already glistening and wet with sweat, revealed her moon-like fair skin and smooth buttocks, the vassals couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

Her thin and slender figure was revealed along her waistline and back. Of course, to the vassals, her huge breasts, which were so out of place with such a body, were very attractive.

“……Excellent.”

The vassals’ attention was focused on her body, which was so beautiful that they couldn’t help but exclaim.

Of course, the more that happened, the more shame Natasha felt.

Behind Natasha, Loyer stood up with a switch in his hand.
