Riser had lived an incredibly easy life. He had never experienced true defeat or faced any real adversity, much like most privileged kids these days. Being crushed so thoroughly by Yusuke and seeing his precious family jewels shattered like fragile eggs dealt a devastating blow to his delicate psyche.
"Master, the battle has ended. That human Yusuke will not harm you," Karlamine said, taking a half step forward. Her tone was light, trying to reassure him.
Normally, Yubelluna would speak at a moment like this, but she, along with Isabela and Ravel, were not present. They had shut themselves in their rooms and had not appeared since.
"Ahhhh! Yusuke! That human is a monster! A nuts-busting monster! Stay away from me! Don't touch my balls! I don't want to lose my balls! Ahhhh! Stay away from me!" The moment he heard Yusuke's name, Riser reacted as if a nuts-busting club was swinging straight for his balls. He crawled backward on his wide until he reached the edge, screaming in terror while covering his head.
"..." All the members of his peerage stared at him in shock.
"Enough! What a disgrace!" At that moment, a cold voice rang out as the mature figure of Lady Phenex walked into the room. She did not approach her son's bed, as if afraid it might dirty her, and spoke with a frown. "How long are you going to keep hiding? Stand up and speak to me!"
"No! I don't want to see anyone! Mother, the outside world is dangerous! I don't want to feel that pain again! I don't want to meet anyone! I will never leave this room!" Riser refused to look at his mother, covering his head with both hands while trembling like a vibrator, shaking the entire bed.
"...Alright, if you want to spend your whole life as a worthless piece of trash, I won't stop you," Lady Phenex said coldly. She didn't bother trying to console him; in fact, she felt no heartbreak over her son's pitiful state. It served him right for insulting her Yusuke. Her gaze turned to the peerage members standing nearby. "Since you are determined to never leave this room, you'll only waste the future and potential of these women."
She looked back at her son and declared, "I shall take them as my peerage."
"What?" Her words made Riser look up at her through the gaps between his fingers. "You want to take my peerage?"
"Yes, I will exchange them with you," Lady Phenex said calmly as she took out a small box and opened it, revealing a complete set of Evil Pieces. "I never used mine. I'll give them to you. If one day you grow a new pair of balls and decide to become a real man, use them to gather a new peerage."
"...Mom," Riser stared at his mother, who was strangely so cold toward him.
"What? You don't want to? Or did you finally change your mind and decide to man up?" Lady Phenex raised an eyebrow and asked coldly, "Are you going to leave this room and face your fears?"
"No! I don't want to leave! The outside world is dangerous! I don't want to lose my balls!" Riser immediately curled up again, hiding his head in his hands. "Take them! Take them! I'll only drag them down with me! It's better if they're with you, Mom!"
"Riser-sama!" The peerage members exclaimed in shock at this sudden turn of events, their fate changing so quickly and casually that it left them speechless.
This was the dark side of being a reincarnated Devil. The moment you became someone's servant, your freedom was gone. Your master could treat you like trash, and there was nothing you could do to retaliate. If you did, you would be branded a stray Devil and hunted down like a criminal. Masters could even trade their servants like commodities, and you had no say in it whatsoever.
Lady Phenex threw the box casually to the ground, then turned to her new peerage members and said, "From now on, I am your master. Follow me."
The peerage women glanced at one another in dismay. It should have been their Queen, Yubelluna, who guided them and held them together in such moments, but she was nowhere to be found. With no other choice, the women bowed in unison, "...Yes, my lady!"
'The first part of the plan went successfully. Heh, wanting to fight me over my Yusuke? These little girls are far too tender,' Lady Phenex thought as she left the room, followed by her new peerage.
Lady Phenex's maiden name is Eleonora Stolas. She hails from the Stolas House, a marquisate.
After marrying into the Phenex House, she took the name Phenex. The Phenex and Stolas Houses had a long-standing relationship, and her marriage to Lord Phenex was a political union meant to strengthen that bond.
Like his father before him, her eldest son also married a young lady from the Stolas House.
Before the match, she had not paid attention to the behavior of Ravel, Yubelluna, and Isabela, her mind completely consumed by thoughts of Yusuke. Now that she discovered their feelings for Yusuke, she didn't stupidly go to confront them. Instead, the first thing she did was to grab them by the balls... cough, I mean by the pussy... cough! cough! I mean by their vital weaknesses.
Now, not only could she control them, but she could also use them to further her plans of having Yusuke all to herself.
...
'What should I do with these skills?' Back in his villa, Yusuke lay on the sofa with his legs spread, and between them were Sona and Tsubaki, their lips wrapped around his hard cock and balls as they stared up at him with eyes full of worship.
His new achievement boosted all his Master Profession skills, raising the first three by one level and unlocking a new profession-related ability, Master's Blessing.
It is worth noting that profession skills cannot be leveled up using skill points. They only increase when new achievements are unlocked or when his level reaches a certain threshold.
A level two 'Master's Exploitation' now allows him to gain two skills from his Goudere who are at the Devoted level.
'Master's Mercy' received the same improvement, enabling him to grant his Goudere two skills instead of one.
As for 'For the Master', his praise now grants them a 40% boost to all stats instead of 20%.
The most intriguing addition is the new skill, Master's Blessing, which permanently raises all the skills of his Goudere by one level and increases their stats by 50%.
'There is no skill I'm interested in right now.' Yusuke scrolled through all the skills he could take but found nothing useful, so he decided to hold off for the moment. Perhaps in the future, when his women acquire more interesting abilities, he would consider using Master's Exploitation to copy one.
"Sona, your tongue skills have improved!" Yusuke said as he gently caressed her short hair. His face then twisted with pleasure as he thrust his hips upward, releasing his spunk into her mouth.
Sona's eyes curved in satisfaction as she kept her head pressed against his cock, making sure he had released every drop of his baby pudding before pulling him out of her mouth. She opened wide, swirling her tongue playfully to show the creamy mess inside, then swallowed it with a loud gulp. "Thanks for the meal, honey~!"
"It's not fair, I want to taste my boyfriend's yogurt too!" Tsubaki complained as she ran her tongue along the length of Yusuke's cock, licking up the remaining traces of his semen.
The other women, Raynare, Kalawarna, Murayama, Aika, and Akeno, were all present, watching the scene unfold with envy in their eyes.
"I have good news for everyone." Yusuke ran his hand along Murayama's thighs, feeling their soft warmth while fondling Raynare's large breasts. "I can now grant you one more skill."
"Ahnn! Really?" Murayama's eyes lit up as she asked, trying to hold back a moan when his fingers slipped lower between her legs and brushed against her damp panties.
"Of course! Not only that, I can also make you fifty percent stronger and increase the proficiency of your skills." Yusuke nodded while teasing her stiff clit over her underwear.
"As expected of Yu-sama, you're the best!" Aika ran up to him and hugged him from behind, showering his cheek and neck with kisses that left pink lipstick marks all over.
The other women erupted with excitement at his words. It was not the promise of power that thrilled them but the chance to become strong enough to protect Yusuke. If they were strong, why would they allow that stupid fried chicken to insult him?
Why allow such a worthless, disgusting insect to live? Death would be a light sentence for daring to insult their Yusuke. Even the total extermination of his entire clan would not be a high enough price for his transgression
"What are you guys talking about?" Akeno, the only one present who had not yet reached the level of Devoted, asked in confusion.
"Ah, right, you are new to this, so it makes sense that you don't know." Tsubaki, now holding Yusuke's cock and rubbing it against her cheeks, spoke to Akeno as she explained Yusuke's skill to her.
"Yusuke-kun! I want a skill like theirs, too!" Akeno immediately demanded from Yusuke. She wanted a part of him inside her, something that would stay with her forever. The very thought made her heart flutter with happiness.
"I can't. My skill only works on women whose sincere love has reached a certain threshold. Unfortunately, you haven't reached that level yet," Yusuke said, shaking his head while using the same gaslighting method he had once used on Raynare and Kalawarna.
'Come to think of it, Akeno is also half a fallen angel. Seems like I've only ever gaslighted fallen angels.'
As if struck by lightning, Akeno froze like a stone statue, her eyes wide and her mouth trembling as she muttered, "What...? I-impossible!"
"Yu-sama! I want Observation Haki!" Aika ignored the stunned Akeno, tightening her arms around Yusuke as she demanded cheerfully.
"Alright, what about the rest?" Yusuke nodded and turned to the other women.
Very soon, each of them voiced their requests.
Sona wanted Telekinesis. Originally a technique-type, she had been leaning toward control-type abilities and had long been fascinated by the skill.
Murayama also requested Telekinesis, explaining that she wanted to use it to create a new sword style exclusive to herself.
Kalawarna and Raynare both chose Observation Haki. They selected the simplest approach, combining Fire Dragon Slayer Magic with Observation Haki to enhance both their attacks and reconnaissance. If they acquire a defensive skill in the future, they will become many times stronger.
While Tsubaki also chose Observation Haki, she followed the same path as Aika, Kalawarna, and Raynare. She, however, surpassed them thanks to her existing defensive ability, her Sacred Gear 'Mirror Alice', which reflected double the damage back onto any attacker.
Confirming their choices, Yusuke kissed each of them, granting their requested skills. He also activated Master's Blessing, raising all their existing skills by one level and boosting their stats by 50%.
With this, Yusuke felt far more assured about the safety of his cute, beloved women.
"Yusuke!" Just as he was about to start an orgy with his women to celebrate, Akeno, who had remained silent until now, walked over. "I want to ask you something!"
