Y/n's pov:
" Do you ever get tired of this?"
The Overlord snarled under his breath as he poked my back repeatly with his cane, i didn't respond to that question, i didn't even wanna look him in the eyes but it was partly cause of the orange chains that held me down to the ground while heavy, sore breaths left my throath.
I hissed a few times cause of the stigning pain in my scars all over my arms, not too deep but it would surely bleed later, i could feel tears running down my face but didn't even notice them until they fell down on my knees.
However, Husk didn't seem quite pleased with being ignored by me so he slowly kneeled down to my level right infront of me but making sure that his knees wouldn't get dirty from sitting down on the dirty floor in this so-called chamber , who looked more like a dirty closet but much bigger and darker with only a wax-candle bringing a pinch of light.
My eyes looked up at his chest but not his face, i could see his tuxedo and his perfect, tied bowtie and his golden buttoms that shone a bit due ti the candles light.
His clawed hand swiftly gripped my chin and forced me to look at him, his eyes were still deep and sharp and his face was written in danger and frustration bit i knew he wouldn't truly hurt me.
He leaned close to my face
" What i do is taking care of you..."
I started to mumble curses as he started to caress my cheek
" And if i punish you is so that you won't repeat that again, you did this to yourself..."
If i could, i would've punched him right there and right now but i knew that it wouldn't end well, where would it go. I couldn't simply run then, cause of the chains, the locked door and the countless of bodyguards that sorunded this mansion.
Even i was impressed of how far i managed to come, i almost made it to the gates until he saw me threw his window and orderd his security to drag me back and this time with much bigger and heavier chains and he even gave me some mildly scars as punishments but not exactly real pain.
I was about to speak up when i heard a knock at the locked door, wich pearked Husk's ears and he stood up to answer the door to recive something before locking it again.
Before he put the key in his pocket my eyes followed it movements, if i could get that key in some miracolus way i would be free from this luxurious prison and this obsessive Overlord.
He set what seemed like a silver platter infront of my knees and on it was my favorite food and drink. My nose picked up the smell and i started to drool while my stomach growled loudly, it had been days since i've eaten anything due to me refusing cause i'm still so angry at him.
I haven't even realised how hungry i was right now
Husk smiled at my hunger state and grinned
" You want it, sweetheart?"
Swallowing my pride i only nodded, desperatly eager to sink my teeth into the meal but Husk just shook his head and ticked his finger at me
" Ah, ah, ah, you need to use your words~"
I interly growled but u reluctivly gave in and mutterd out with sweet eyes
" P-please, give me food..?"
His eyes widen in suprise yet satisfaction and reached out for my hands, i flinched slightly but then i heard a click and a sudden weight being lift off my wrists.
He unlocked my hands.
I rubbed the sore wrists a bit before slowly started to eat the food, god it was delicious.....
I then feelt Husk wings wrap around my smaller form wich weirdly gave me both comfort and chills
Comfort cause i've been so cold for a few hours without a blanket and his feathers feelt so secure and comfy to be in but the chills cause i knew what the horrible acts he'd commited just to keep me away from everyone and lock me up here in his mansion.
I could still hear my drinking buddies bloody screams ringning threw my ears like a bell every time i thought of them, i could hear it when i coverd my ears and i could see their dead bodies when i cover my eyes, my entire afterlife us a nightmare now and i've almost lost all hope of getting out of here alive.
" Now-"
He lifted my chin up again and wiped my chin off with his claws, his voice visably deeper and more cruel
" Are you gonna listen to my orders like a good little jewel?"
I almost gagged upon hearing that nickname again, but that was how he saw me probably, a jewel, something pure and clean but also something fragile and worthy........
Maybe also cause he'd bought me a collar that has atcual jewels on it.
Wether the reason is that nickname will always creep me out and remind me how he'll probably never let me escape.
I let him embrace me with his warmth and wings as he purred in the tingly feeling to once again hold me again
" Well? What's your answer, dollface~"
I gazed up ar him with dead eyes
" I'll....listen.... No more escaping... no more foolish tricks..."
I lowerd my grad in shame then, wanting to cry but held the tears again and just let him hug me and put my head on his shoulder
" Good doll~"
He cooed at me quietly as he rubbed my chest and shoulder so gently as he kissed my forhead
" If you behave well enough i might even let you out of here and you can spend inside my room all the time~"
My eyes widen at the tought to skip this rotten celler as he keept on talking
" In a comfy bed instead of this dirty matress~ and to see atcual sunlight but for now you have to stay here to get your place, darling~"
He kissed my forhead again
" Rememver that i'm doing this for your own sake, darling~"
