Chapter 5 : White stockings are the best!
The cloth stuffed in her mouth was suddenly yanked out.
Qianya hadn’t even reacted yet when her mouth finally felt free again.
“Wuu wuu wuu… please don’t hurt me, I’ll listen to anything, I’ll give you however much money you want, wait no, I don’t have any money anymore… but I have four slaves! I can make them work for you! Please don’t do that kind of thing to me, wuu wuu QAQ”
Qianya cried and begged, her voice soft and trembling.
But the moment she finished speaking, clear laughter rang out in front of her.
Qianya: ? That voice sounds super familiar…
“I win the bet~ Iris.”
The next second, the owner of the voice spoke.
It was Vivian!
“I told you, her very first reaction would definitely be begging~”
Qianya: …?
She was completely dumbfounded.
Vivian?
So the one who kidnapped her was Vivian? Huh?
Before she could figure it out, the black cloth over her eyes was removed.
Only then did she realize she was lying on the big bed in the bedroom, and standing by the bed were Vivian and Iris, who had her arms crossed and a displeased look on her face.
“Pathetic.”
Seeing Qianya’s dazed expression, Iris said in disgust, “You used to be a Sanctuary Knight, and you surrendered without even putting up a fight? At least act tough a little.”
“Ah (°ー°〃)?” Qianya blinked.
“Iris? Vivian? You two kidnapped me?”
“What kidnapping? We just caught our lost little slave and brought her home.”
Vivian smiled as she stepped forward and gently untied the ropes around Qianya’s wrists.
“While also settling a little bet~”
“A bet?”
“Yep, betting on what your first words would be when you woke up.” Vivian grinned.
Vivian: “I bet you’d immediately beg for mercy, while Iris thought you’d say ‘I won’t tell you anything.’ Clearly she lost big-time lost 😋”
Qianya: “Ah, then… what was the prize?”
“The prize~” Vivian deliberately dragged out the word, eyes sparkling as she looked at her, “is the right to decide which maid outfit you wear tomorrow. The winner gets to pick it for you.”
Qianya: (°口°๑)
What kind of messed-up bet is this!
“Alright, since I won, time to bring out the maid outfit I prepared~”
Vivian happily turned and pulled a delicate maid dress from the wardrobe nearby.
It was a pale-pink maid dress, the skirt so short it barely passed the top of the thighs, hem decorated with white lace frills. The top was extra bold—low neckline that would show a hint of cleavage, puffy sleeves, cute bows, and most importantly, a pair of garter-style over-the-knee white stockings.
“T-This outfit (〃﹏〃)”
Qianya’s cheeks instantly turned the color of ripe apples. She shyly pulled the blanket tighter around herself.
“Vivian! What kind of shameless clothes are these!” Iris immediately protested. She’d hated that outfit the moment she saw it.
“If she wears that and walks outside once, she’ll come home pregnant! (╬◣д◢)”
Qianya: Gua… can you not say something so explosive with a straight face (つ﹏⊂)
With that, Iris also turned to the wardrobe and pulled out her own maid dress.
It was a light-blue maid dress, skirt falling modestly below the knees, round collar, long sleeves, paired with plain white tights (the important part). It looked both conservative and elegant.
Iris: “This is what a maid should wear (◦`~´◦). Elegance comes first~”
Vivian: “What’s the point of elegance? It’s outdated! Yaya should wear cute clothes! Super-short skirt plus over-the-knee stockings is the best—she can show off her slim legs, everyone loves that, so adorable~”
Iris: “You’re drooling. You just like it yourself!”
Vivian: “I don’t care! Over-the-knee stockings are supreme (˃ ⌑ ˂ഃ )!”
Iris: “Tights are the most elegant!”
The two started arguing back and forth, one insisting “cute is justice,” the other stressing “elegance and decency.”
They got so into it they completely ignored Qianya standing right there ( ).
Qianya: Perfect chance (✧∇✧)
Watching them bicker nonstop, a thought suddenly popped into Qianya’s head: while they’re distracted, sneak away!
They were too busy fighting to notice her.
If she quietly slipped off the bed and escaped through the window, she might actually get away!
“Hehe… I’m definitely going to survive…”
With that in mind, Qianya carefully shifted her body, slowly sliding off the bed.
Barefoot, she tried to keep her steps as light as possible, inching toward the window one tiny step at a time.
Almost there… just two more steps…
If she could just reach… that spot…
But the moment her fingers were about to touch the window frame, Iris’s icy voice came from behind.
“Trying to run?”
She snapped her fingers.
“?!”
Qianya felt a burning heat at her waist. The faint green vine mark suddenly glowed.
The next instant, a weak electric current spread from the mark throughout her entire body.
“Kyuuuuuuuu X﹏X”
Qianya let out a soft, helpless squeal. Her body trembled uncontrollably, the tingling itch from the shock making her legs give out. She collapsed to her knees on the floor.
“Uh… ah…”
Her cheeks flushed deep red, a bit of drool escaped the corner of her mouth, her eyes turned misty, and even her voice became all soft and weak.
“Let me warn you, idiot. While you were unconscious, I already added the punishment module to my mark. If you disobey, any of the four of us can activate the electric shock whenever we want.”
Iris looked down at her and said.
She paused, then added, “Though right now only my mark has the punishment module. Vivian, Zero, and Luko haven’t decided what kind of punishment to give you yet, so for now we’ll all share the electric shock.”
“How can you do this to me QAQ”
Qianya’s face was full of despair.
Qianya: “Little slaves are meant to be pampered! Not abused ˃ʍ˂”
“Who told you to keep trying to escape?” Iris huffed.
Vivian giggled; she seemed to really enjoy Qianya’s stubborn attitude.
The next second, the two of them stepped to either side of Qianya, each holding their chosen maid outfit.
Vivian held the pink ultra-short maid dress and garter over-the-knee stockings.
Iris held the blue modest-length maid dress and white tights.
“Now it’s time to choose, Yaya~” Vivian said with a smile. “My over-the-knee stockings, or Iris’s tights?”
Qianya: “Eh…?”
Why is this suddenly a multiple-choice question.
Iris also raised her outfit, eyes carrying a hint of threat. “Pick one. By the way, if you choose the over-the-knee stockings, I’ll have to shock you (dead serious).”
Qianya: “Ehhh ∑(°口°๑)?”
Vivian: “And if you choose the tights, I’ll have to shock you too~”
Qianya: “Yiii ∑(❍ฺд❍ฺlll)”
Qianya stared at the two completely different maid outfits in front of her, then at the expressions on Vivian and Iris’s faces, despair flooding her heart.
What kind of choice is this? No matter which one she picks she’s getting shocked X﹏X
So…
Tights or over-the-knee stockings?
Which one is better?
