Event 1 Level 2 Outline: First Hints to the Researcher

Xueya's Appearance: Describe Xueya's appearance in detail. She's younger than Dou Rong, but still a young woman. She has a similar intellectual intensity, but tempered by youthful anxiety and a touch of naivete. Emphasize her vulnerability.

[We're the one who kidnapped Dou Rong, but we don't reveal that at first. It's a shocking reveal in Event 3.]

[In Event 1 we just act concerned, as if this was the central mystery of the game and try to help resolve it.]

Setting: In your Grand Reception Hall at a night-time society party your wife Yaling puts on in the Main Manor.

Purpose:

• Extensive demonstration of the relationship between your wife and you.
• Introduce the Dou Rong story line, starting with her family being worried about her disappearance.
• Enjoy your privileged social life in a wealthy setting.
• Introduce the conspiracy as something Dou Rong had thought about previously.
• Red Herring to setup for a surprising twist in event 3.

Event 1 Level 3 Outline: First Hints to the Researcher

Setting: In your Grand Reception Hall at a night-time society party your wife Yaling puts on in the Main Manor. You tend to show your face at such events for a bit and then leave to do your business. There are handsome young noble Solfrey as well as beautiful ladies. You're used to a lot of female eyes on you as you mingle with a casually.

You're enjoying yourself at the event, basking in your excellent social life. [extended scenes]

Dou Rong's mother, the Baroness of Frostcrane, and younger sister approaches you, looking no different from any other mother daughter pair who wants a bit of the lord's attention. But before you they stand with grim determination to find her. They ask for permission to talk to the chief investigator, to share with him what they found and to ask him to work together with a private investigator they hired. You readily give permission.

You commiserate about what a loss it is for the nation to lose such a scholar, and how your wife liked her work and supported her getting access to the Chun Treasury in the Resting Palace. Though it looks bad since how long it has been, resources are still being deployed on her search.

You talk to a few other different people, and when it's all done you find Dou's little sister (Xueya Rong) alone. She comes to you talk to you privately you about her fears and her conspiracies. She used to talk to you about her conspiracies, the theories that she and the sister had about Kpor.

You greet her by first inquiring about Lanpo Eun, a strikeround player she spent most of the last 5 years obsessed with and being a patron of. He's recently performed well in some tournaments.

She shakes her head, sighing, saying they've been fighting for the past few months. He's betrayed her by getting his Right of First Refusal from someone else. But she can't even pressure him because then he might get a different patron.

She moves onto talking about her sister.

The conspiracy is that the Kporian Kings are actually demons. That in the demon wars, far from being an inconsequential small nation that was easily defeated by Kpor, Sica was a dominant powerful nation that was fighting against Kpor. Kpor ended up allying with the demons to destroy Sica.

Today the demons rule Kpor. Kporian nobles regularly sacrifice people to the demons and are in bed with them. What if, the researcher went to Acasa and the Duke killed her. She was researching ancient texts and were close to finding out the truth... and the demons took her out.

You tell her that that theory has a lot of holes, it won't work unless all the history we know is false. The history of the Solfrey clearly says that the demons were defeated 3 thousand years ago in the demon wars and everything since then has been about humans. You give off the attitude that you're just humoring her crazy ideas, said in the midst of her grief. Everyone can see that you expect something more typical, if not mundane.

But you tell her she should investigate this idea, even if it's wrong there might be something to it, her sister was interested in studying it and if nothing else it'll honor her work. You can get her an audience with the Duke himself if you want to call in some favors. She demurs, saying it's probably just crazy talk and would get you in trouble with the Duke if he thinks you're suspecting him of having something to do with the sister's disappearance. She is just anxious and scared that's all.

Event 1 Level 4 Draft

Yaling insists on putting on these parties every so often. Her family back in Acasa always had more of a taste for revelries than your more quiet, calm parents who limited themselves to official holidays and seasons. But your beautiful, vivacious wife wants more parties, and parties she will have. You can see the benefit in them, the nobility of Len, many of them present, socializing in your grand reception hall in your main manor.

You walk around with her initially, but naturally you end up separating as you join different conversations, enjoying the company under the sparkling magical stars that light up the evening ceiling.

You can feel the eyes on you. Many people want to talk to you, the Lord of Len. Quite a few fair maidens too who you studiously avoid making eye contact with now that you're married. Oh what a different demeanor you're giving off now... But if you ignore them long enough, they'll eventually be distracted by the handsome young solfrey nobles around.

Baroness Rong and her daughter Xueya would not be distracted though. They walk to you purposefully, and at a polite moment, approach you, determined.

@mc: How are you holding up? My heart goes out to you.

@ladyrong: We endure, my lord, though the emptiness gnaws.

@mc: We're still spending a ton of resources on the search. No stone will be left unturned, don't worry. we'll try our best to find your daughter.

@ladyrong: thanks, appreciate it. but can we have our private investigator work with your people, share information

@mc: ofc, i would be happy to arrange that for you. Anything you need.

@mc: your daughter's disappearance is a real huge tragedy... a brilliant scholar lost.

@ladyrong: sad noises

@mc: Yaling supported the work Dou was doing, she personally got Dou access to the Chun archives in Acasa, she's had so much guilt and distress over the disappearance too.

@ladyrong: So sorry to cause your wife grief, it's horrible for us all.

@mc: we remain hopeful... though it grows late

You gently convey to them how the situation looks to you.

Seeing the numerous others trying to talk to you, the Rong pair back off.

After about an hour you decide to let your wife know that you're going to do something else. You're a very busy man. You notice Xueya Rong, Dou Rong's younger sister, standing in a corner, staring at you.

You approach her, smiling, like a friend. She is a little younger than you, whereas you are the same age as her older sister. But regardless you had played together and talked many times before, many dozens of meetings across the years at events in Len.

@xueya: My Lord... thank you for listening to us.

You wave off her thanks.

@mc: I only wish to find the truth. Dou Rong’s loss is felt by all of us.

Xueya’s eyes glistens. She glances around to ensure no eavesdroppers, then lowers her voice.

@xueya: I need to tell you what Dou and I discussed. Our theories…

She swallows.

@xueya: I’m scared it got her into trouble.

You wait for her to continue in curiosity.

@xueya: It's like we talked about My Lord, the theories about the demons... why are there still demons.

@xueya: My sister... thought she could find proof through her research, that the reason why there are demons is because some nobles are worshipping them.... or even that some kings... our leaders, that they were demons in disguise.

Her theory spills out, wild and frightening. In the glow of a nearby candelabra, Xueya’s youthful face is drawn and pale.

@xueya: What if she got to the truth? What if that got her killed?

Xueya finishes in a strained whisper.

Dou Rong had talked to you about this theory before, it's not a thought she kept secret. Xueya's current fright, when Dou had spoke of it, she was giddy, conspiratorial, not seemingly cowed by fear as Xueya is now.

You smile kindly.

@mc: That’s quite a tale. It would mean everything we know of history is false, everything we know about the demon wars and everything since is a lie.

@mc: The theory has some holes. We humans defeated the demons 3000 years ago.

You nod as if that gives the statement more authority.

You smile at her, intending to soothe. You give off the attitude that you're just humoring her crazy ideas, said in the midst of her grief. Everyone can see that you expect something more typical, if not mundane. Who knows, perhaps Dou had fallen in love with a commoner and ran away.

@mc: But if you think there's something to it, don't be afraid, seek the truth, that's all any of us can do. If nothing else, it'll honor your sister's work and her ideas.

[Expand this] You can get her an audience with the Duke himself if you want to call in some favors. She demurs, saying it's probably just crazy talk and would get you in trouble with the Duke if he thinks you're suspecting him of having something to do with the sister's disappearance. She is just anxious and scared that's all.

Event 2 Level 2 outline: Red Herring Event For Researcher

This is the last main story event for Dou Rong. From here the player must purposefully select to meet her.

We cast blame on our traditional enemies the Chuns, who is Yaling's family. But of course she doesn't like that, if you feel bad for your wife you can call it off. Or you can continue this bit of trolling on her brother, poor guy.

The purpose is to throw the reader off on what's actually happening for the shocking reveal in event 3.

Event 2 Level 3 outline: Red Herring Event For Researcher

Setting: Your Audience Chamber in your Main Ming Manor in Len.

Your wife also been interested in the search for Dou Rong, since she was the one who helped arrange for her to go to her family's estate (Resting Palace) in Nuolan. She's sitting besides you in the Audience Chamber.

The chief investigator (a solfrey) comes and talks about his reports and what his assets found. A commoner with him speaks up, apparently he did all the work on the ground. They are both very professional.

He talks about how contrary to other reports people had seen Dou Rong enter the Resting Palace and meet with Jingyao Chun, Yaling's brother, a man who's known to be very popular with and bedded a lot of women before his marriage.

However the Chun's story is that Dou Rong never got to the Chun's estate while the driver says she was dropped off near the Resting Palace, she wanted to "stride" the rest of the way and see the sights.

The chief investigator suggests, after begging for forgiveness from Yaling, that Dou Rong was known for being very studious and not very free with men, and Jingyao Chun might've not been used to rejection.

[Here the narration adds that the driver could not have been the culprit because he is a commoner. Commoners are ridiculously weak in magic and poses no threat to any Solfrey. This is true even if the Solfrey is sleeping, as their magical shields are up at all times. Only another solfrey mage or a "hero" (a commoner with special magecraft training but who is constantly tracked and spied upon by the Cult of Yan or a specialty hero corporation) can pierce through the shield of a Solfrey.]

After the investigators leave Yaling turns to you and says how impossible it was for her brother to be the culprit. He is the kindest, nicest man. She insists that he has always shown her only love and support, hurting Dou Rong is absolutely beyond him.

She pushes you to look elsewhere, and you can do so.

You can tell that what she really wants is for you to believe her rather than the arguments she's presenting. You've always had a fair relationship, it is not one of those where she expects to win all the time, you had been able to communicate plainly and rationally. But sometimes her emotions are on display. You can do whatever you want you know she'll accept it.

"Yaling... men can be kind to you and still be an absolute villain to other women."

Choice:

---

Stand your ground and convince Yaling she shouldn't let her preconceptions cloud her judgement, let justice take its course. If her brother is innocent then there's nothing to worry about, he'll survive a bit of reputational damage but nothing is going to come of it.

Yaling: Fine... I know nothing's going to come of it, you're just wasting time that could be better spent on actually looking for Dou Rong. That poor girl...

---

On the other hand...

Agree with her, you call Jiaolong and tell her to communicate with the investigator to drop this theory and find another avenue to look into.

Yaling looks happy and relieved.

---

[We let the player know that this does not impact their relationship with Yaling]

If you choose to agree with Yaling, the brother is cleared, and later in the game he has a good relationship with his wife. If you choose not to do so, his relationship with his wife is terrible later in the game.

Event 3 Level 2 Outline: First Introduction to the Researcher (Cycle 1)

[Casual reveal of the mystery]

Physical state: weak, disoriented from weeks alone

Her mental state after weeks alone:

• Overwhelming relief at human contact
• Terror of being forgotten
• Disorientation from isolation
• Desperate need to speak/interact

Basic rules established immediately:

• Must crawl, no standing without permission
• Naked at all times
• No furniture use
• Must spread holes on command
• Must beg for food/water/bathroom
• Must maintain eye contact when addressed
• Must narrate all sexual acts loudly
• Must display self at regular intervals
• Not allowed to cover body with hands
• Must spread legs when MC enters

Her reaction seeing you:

• Attempts to maintain noble bearing
• Raw hatred mixed with fear
• Disgust at your casual evil
• Dawning comprehension this isn't temporary, there's no ransom
• Internally she refers to you by your name, "MC" as per your friendship

Her thoughts during domination:

• Shame at body's betrayal
• Horror at own wetness
• Silent tears while maintaining dignity
• Internal conflict between resistance/submission
• Crushing realization of powerlessness
• Self-hatred at involuntary responses
• Despair that you're likely to get away with it

Her thoughts afterwards:

• Hate for you mixed with self loathing
• She resolves to think of you as an evil monster

Event 3 Level 3 Outline: First Introduction to the Researcher (Cycle 1)

• Dou Rong is in the basement dungeon of the Loprin Manor, imprisoned in total isolation, with no human contact for 20 days.

• Cell conditions:

  • minimal light coming through the bottom of the metal door at irregular intervals, doesn't allow her to count days, but stops and stops frequently and makes it feel like weeks.
  • 3meter x 2meter dimensions and 2m height.
  • Indetectable magical wards that prevent magic use.
  • Neutral temperature stone floor.
  • Air temperature is controlled to be normal and comfortable.
  • Subtle, irregular drafts of wind come through the door.
  • sustenance is a hole in the corner of the wall that leaks some kind of liquid, a bland nutrient paste. If she licks it she can feed herself, the liquid isn't available often and she's often hungry or thirsty, licking the hole in disappointment.
    • When liquid does come though there's a bloop bloop sound.
  • metal toilet seat in the opposite corner, every so often (irregular) she can feel it power and pulse with magic and heat that dissolves the waste material into the bottom of the toilet

• She was knocked out on her way to Acasa by attackers. She was dragged out of the car by monsters that were clearly undead.

• She woke up in the cell, naked except

  • for a heavy collar around her neck
  • magical chastity belt that lets her touch herself but not get off.
    • It's light grey and functional, thin, and light.
    • There's nothing to be done on it/to it, it works automatically.

• Terrified, she cried and screamed to no avail.

• At the time of the story

  • Cognitive strain: Her mind is foggy, bogged down by fear and monotony. She can still think—recalling memories to ground herself—but her thoughts spiral into panicked loops: What took me? Why me? Will they come back? She’s not sharp anymore; she’s a frightened woman clinging to fragments of reason.
  • Physical toll: Her body aches from the hard floor, her stomach gnaws with hunger between the sporadic dribbles of paste, and sleep comes in fitful bursts, interrupted by the toilet’s unpredictable hum.
  • Fixation on small stimuli: The rare “bloop bloop” or the toilet’s magical pulse become obsessions—she waits for them, heart pounding, counting the seconds until they might happen again, both dreading and craving the break in monotony.
  • [emphasize her damaged psychological condition, it's the setup for her fear in the rest of the event]
  • [show not tell her emotional lows, this is an extreme low point, use clever language to show her high level of distress]

• You see her on day 21 (she doesn't know) of her capture.

• In the first hours soon after waking from her capture, after she got used to the panic and had her fill of screaming, she had time to think about her situation, come up with theories on why she was captured.

  • Slaves are never solfrey, that's illegal.
  • Anyone who wants sex slaves can just buy them, even if they don't want to pay, capturing a commoner is just so much easier... solfrey have so many people looking for them, and have magic. Any common pervert or slaver would never think to target a solfrey much less a noble.
  • She settles on the theory of being a captured "political bargaining chip", bargain for what exactly, she didn't know. But maybe some opposition of her parents in business? They didn't exactly have political enemies in Len.

• A guard dressed in all black, veil over the face, undead, (she can sense it through her magic) and silent, takes her from her cell to a shower.

• Shower works without removing her belt/collar

• Shower is crazy sensory overload and she cries

• After showering she's dried magically by the dryer in the shower room.

• After a 10 minute shower, she's taken to a nice and comfortably furnished lounge room.

  • There's magical lights, chairs, soft rugs, a magical airbed, armchairs and ergonomic chairs and a velvet couch, she sits
    • But no books/shelf/desk, etc, just chairs and comfort items.
  • It's still part of the underground dungeon. She looks around amazed, there's such a nice room mere meters away from her cell. She feels destabilized by this.

• She pretty much sat there for the whole hour, resting and catching her thoughts.

  • The isolation had mildly traumatized her, and she takes the time to recover, her brain returning to normal function, finally solidifying... feeling certain that the world is real, not a hallucination.
  • She gets a good look at the belt locking her crotch, notices the Ascendis logo for the first time.
  • Her reaction to it is calm, of all things this is the one that's stabilizing. A common place corporate logo grounds her, makes her feel like she's still in reality. Whereas the undead, the dark isolation cell, and the sudden transition to a beautifully furnished room seems to be an unreal nightmare.
  • [Long scene here of internal processing, being thankful that she survived the isolation cell, scared that she's going to be put back in, hopeful that maybe something different will happen to her. Sad and depressed that she's taken psychological damage, she knows that the experience has traumatized her and she misses the person she was before she experienced it. Feels sorry for herself, how weak and pathetic she is and for crying in front of that monster, but excuses herself immediately sarcastically, since she knows that it's a seriously harrowing experience and there's obviously good reason to cry.]
  • [emphasis on her emotional highs after the lows of the previous cell]

• You show up, entering the room about 15 minutes later after she's rested.

• Finally glad to be able to interact with her captor, and that she wasn't forgotten. While she knows she was captured by a crazy monsters, the undead as she's heard rumors of in the news, she did not see her actual captor. She was thinking the worst, about how she was going to be subject to arcane experiments or something.

• But then her captors never shows, and she was scared that you were just going to forget.

• She finally sees that it's you. At first sight she thought that maybe you were there to rescue her, but then a few seconds realize it doesn't seem like that.

• She is given a cup of hot tea, which is a luxury after her experience, as you sit to talk to her.

• Your POV thoughts: Your plan is to use her to help you uncover secrets that could potentially be dangerous, so you know from the start that you're not planning to trust her even if she's cooperative, she must be broken down completely and rebuilt in order to be worthy of doing this work. You formulate your strategy to try to break her. [make sure you switch POVs here for a bit before switching back]

  • As you psyche yourself up to play the role of being evil, you start with a bit of small talk.
  • You make sure to focus the conversation on her and the present, and never entertain her attempt to talk about the outside world or the past. You're trying to dehumanize her and objectify her, remove her entirely from her former world and any other identity she would've had
  • They have no leads, they're discouraged and unable to do anything
  • You talk to her a bit about her family and the people who are searching for her, telling her that she's yours and she'll never be found.
  • [You are her family's liege lord and she's known you for a long time and you were acquaintances who had many conversations sharing jokes and life stories at formal events.]
  • Your tone is normal and polite, like you were speaking to her at a Len festival in front of her parents. But you do are commanding and matter of fact, like you always are.

• She tries to talk about ransom and your families history together, her family's loyalty to you, you brush it off.

• She's not stupid, she doesn't try to fight you immediately but in your talks you can't help but feel the fear and revulsion rolling off of her for your captivity of her and use of the undead. As the casual talk goes on she gets a lot of her spunk and fiery personality back, and gets comfortable about challenging you.

• She calls you out for being the necromancer, seeking forbidden power. You admit to it, and revels in it, tells her that it's up to you to use it now to change the world. Can't let people out there stop you. [you stop there, not interested in sharing more]

• She says the general wisdom, which is that necromancy is forbidden cause it's the most evil power, change the cycle of life and death, play god. She sees now that you're this monster, a guy who got this power and now power hungry etc thinks he can just do anything. She very easily puts you into the stereotype of the arrogant rich evil guy.

• Eventually calls you out on being a monster, a tyrant. You just shrug it off but in your head you note that this as something to make her suffer for.

• Your thoughts: Despite her calling you monster, you were actually merciful. The cell she was in had light, that was necessary to keep her mind stable. You treated her to tea and a shower, to give her some basic dignity. Treating her courteously was a sign that you weren't prepared to fully do what must be done, that you still did see her as a friend, as a fellow Solfrey, that you weren't just willing to just destroy a person until she forced you, she pushed you as she just did. Frankly, you were already doing it inefficiently. If you never showed her this room, this glimpse of civility and normalcy, she would've internalized despair and her situation faster. If you just kept her in relatively deprivation and only slowly rewarded her obedience, everything would've gone so much smoother... But what's done is done, this is the path you chose, you didn't just want her obedience, you are greedy for something more. In some ways you are a lot like Yao Hong...

• You start your propaganda about how she needs to stop thinking of herself as a person, she's your object now. She must learn to serve your will and will be a tool to help you achieve your desires.

• You say these evil words calmly and matter-a-factly, like you were describing mundane details about the scenery.

• Your thoughts: You're going to break her down like a recalcitrant slave, using your knowledge that you inadvertently got from hanging out with Yao Hong and from working with slaves at Mystimark Nexus.

• Your thoughts: that you can't control her with your necromantic powers for some reason, you assume that this is because solfrey tend to have very strong protection from such influence from birth due to the Aegium ceremony [this is not true obviously, it's because Solfrey have no soul].

• She tries to talk about the past, the conversations you've had, she praises how optimistic she was about you becoming the Count, and how your wife Yaling would be disappointed by your actions.

• You brush off her comments, saying none of those things are a concern for her now. She has a new reality.

• She must learn.

• You attack sexually and makes her submit, groping her, slapping her, throwing her around, touching her in violent degrading ways, she's ashamed to find that she's wet and can't put up much of a fight.

• [Emphasize the contrast between her initial defiance and her body's involuntary responses. This internal conflict will be a recurring theme throughout her breaking.]

• Inside her thoughts, she's spewing hate at you, daydreaming about the ways to get revenge, what she's going to do to you once she gets rescued.

• You violently take her in multiple positions, ramming yourself into her, repeatedly reminding her that she belongs to you now and to no longer think of herself, she is just an object, a tool for his pleasure and use. You do this by bashing her and slapping her face and choking her repeatedly.

• Internally During assault:

  • Can't help but feel attracted to your body
  • He's a horrible degrading rapist
    • Even though she thinks this she still can't get over the eroticism of what you're doing, the visuals, the senses of your male body on hers, it's intoxicating, it's attractive

• As the rape goes on

  • Her thoughts are scrambled, brain turned into a mess by pleasure and your crushing sensations of fucking.
  • Intense sensations, pleasures
  • She's totally overwhelmed, fucked into oblivion, can't think straight.
  • Body, legs, weak and quivering in orgasm

• Afterwards you sit on the couch, cuddle her and comfort her as she recovers on your lap.

• You touch her, and there are moments when she tries to turn away from your touch.

• You make her say that she's just an object, a tool for you.

• At first she hesitates, but as you stare at her coldly, the fear returns, she does not want to go back to her cell.

• She repeats it hesitantly.

• You institute a lot of harsh rules:

  • Must obey all orders instantly
  • Makes her eat and drink off of the floor without using hands
  • Must crawl, no standing without permission
  • Naked at all times, except for the chastity belt/collar or other bondage
  • Not allowed to cover body with hands
  • Must instantly get into the ass presentation position, with her face on the floor, ass up, and spreading her asshole with both hands and to do it quickly on command
  • Must keep legs spread when MC is present
  • Must maintain eye contact when addressed
  • Must narrate all sexual acts loudly
  • Must beg for food/water/bathroom
  • Prevents her from using the chairs, bed or any furniture despite being in the nice room unless you give permission

• She is terrified by this and starts blabbing about how cruel you are

• You sigh and get up

• You tell her you're going to punish her for her disobedience with imprisonment once again, she has to learn. And she's crying, kneeling, quickly falling to the floor and grabbing your feet hysterical begging to not go back into the cell. [showing how scared she is of the cell]

  • She's definitely regretting calling you names, letting her guard down when you were talking with her casually

• You tell her, I didn't say you were going back to the cell. You open up a closet door and show a bondage setup, where she could be locked in right in the room.

• You leave her in a predicament bondage position, to cry and suffer.

• Thoughts during bondage:

  • of course the main thought is the fear and pain
  • Compares you to famous rapists and serial killers like Count Dago [who ran a finishing school for noble girls, and he frequently raped and killed them before being brought to justice]
  • The Rights of Solfrey makes violation on a Solfrey the highest level of crime
  • Remember every detail for future testimony Building a case: false imprisonment, torture, sexual assault
  • Evidence exists in the marks on her body
  • Witnesses heard her being taken
  • The Duke of Acasa will demand justice
  • She tries to ignore the sinking despair that even if she was found, you would very likely get away with it as her liege lord.
  • Her father has allies and resources, will raise banners for her
  • She tries to think back to your interactions previously, you last met her during your wedding, where she gave you congratulations, and you were so kind and friendly then. What happened... Did she do something to offend you. You had such a beautiful wife... what could you possibly want with her. Was there any clues that you could do this, can't think of any.
  • She tries to think about Yaling, she was genuinely kind in giving her access to Acasa. It's so painful to think about, the wife, she might be a victim too, sad to marry such a criminal.
  • She resolves to call you a monster, instead of thinking of you as the same friend/aquaintance since childhood, monster is more appropriate for the level of hate she feels right now.
  • Her research is too valuable to be lost, she was making a difference in the world damn it, she feels sorry for her self and her proud career if she's just going to end up in some pervert's dungeon

Event 4 Level 2 Outline: Discussions of her job (Cycle 1)

This scene needs to:

1. Show the immediate aftermath of her first brutal encounter
2. Begin establishing the research dynamic
3. Start the process of breaking her noble bearing while maintaining her intelligence

• Several days have passed since the first encounter. She's been released from the torture bondage via a letter slid under her door.
• Physical state: Recovering but weak, struggling to maintain composure
• Mental state: Oscillating between scholarly detachment and raw fear
• MC arrives for "inspection" and to begin establishing work parameters
• Her attempts to maintain dignity through formal speech patterns
• First exposure to the texts she'll be working with
• Introduction of the carrot (comfort/research) and stick (torture/isolation)
• Scene ends with her failing to properly narrate during "reward" sex, leading to punishment

Key psychological elements:

• She tries to cope by treating it like academic fieldwork
• Her scholarly interest provides first crack in her resistance
• Horror at her body's continued betrayal
• Beginning of pavlovian association between MC and relief from isolation

Event 4 Level 3 Outline: Discussions of her job (Cycle 1)

Between Event 3 and 4 she's let out of bondage a few days before you were visiting again, so that she can practice presentation and calm down and not be in dire pain. This is instructions in a letter that's slid under the door.

In the intervening weeks she's had a chance to be sad, wallow in misery over everything. If she's never found then her life, all her work, her career, it would be wasted. Her family would be so devastated, her parents, her sister.

You're here to continue her training and get her into a suitable headspace to serve your research.

You starts with an inspection, touching her, to her horror she wets up right away.

During the inspection, when you touch her, she instinctively clenches and tries to close her legs. This is a direct violation of the rules established in Scene 1 - she must spread and present herself instantly when you enter.

You explain to her that her body is your property - every part of it - and her attempt to deny you access is unacceptable. You throw her legs open and give her extremely hard vagina slaps. Each slap reinforces that her body must be open and available to you at all times. Make her count them while holding herself spread open, forcing her to actively participate in making herself vulnerable. The pain only adds to her growing desire.

This is intended to create a pavlovian response - her body will learn to open for you instantly to avoid punishment

Afterwards you restart the inspection while tears run down her face, and this time she keeps them open for you.

She thinks about you, how you're just one of those rapey lords who are only after women for their bodies, destructive evil man. You're destroying her, destroying her life, everything she's worked for, it's maddeningly sad. No, she has to resist, find hope.

You make her learn a core list of slave positions.

Once she learns them, you hug her on the bed and reward her with gentle sex on the bed, leading to orgasm and tears of shame and relief. But she fails to narrate properly overwhelmed with sensations, could only whine and moan, and unable to remember to do so, meaning you need to punish her by leaving her in torture, thus not giving her enough opportunity to finish her research task when you return for scene 3.

After the sex, you hug her and tell her how much life would be better after she surrenders, she'll look back on this time as utter foolishness.

You give her permission to speak. She answers in a dead tone, sullen, formal, not an ounce of liveliness to her.

You begin talking about research, your discoveries, telling her that her mind and knowledge is also a tool for you. You ask her if she would prefer to do the historical research instead of torture. She tells you in a formal voice she would prefer the historical research. You ask about her experience with Ancient Sica and she tells you, finally a bit of pride poking through, that she is an expert.

She thinks:

She analyzes his goals. He needs her expertise in ancient languages. The secrecy of her capture suggests the texts are dangerous. Likely heretical material, where could he have gotten them from? The Cult of Fukazor? She's relieved that he has use for her, and that she wasn't just going to be disposed of once he's bored. Understanding his motivations could be key to survival.

The academic framework gives her purpose. Each new piece of information forms a puzzle to solve. She is not just enduring torture - she is gathering intelligence on a potentially significant discovery.

You eventually leave her in a harsh torture state for not narrating as per the rules.

Event 5 Level 2 Outline: First Research (Cycle 2)

The next time you return, similarly, she gets let out of the bondage for a couple of days before you return, she's prepared her presentation.

Nothing major calls for harsh punishment except her overly formal attitude.

Inspection goes well as does her protocals.

Discuss how difficult decrypting these texts would be. Talk about the techniques she uses, she uses a lot of magecraft to help.

For Event 5, this should be her first focused attempt at actually doing research work, but still very early. Key aspects:

1. Initial Research Setup

• You explain your expectations for how research should be conducted
• Basic discussion of whether she'd use magecraft to help with translation
• She's painfully aware she must do this work naked, maintaining presentation posture while trying to be professional
• Her discomfort at using her academic skills while in such a degraded state

2. Physical Protocols Better Maintained

• She's learned from prior punishment to maintain proper position
• Shows proper inspection response
• Still struggling with verbal requirements but trying harder
• A sense that physical compliance is starting to become habitual, even as she hates it

3. Research Environment

• You've provided basic tools but in a controlled way
• Everything designed to reinforce her dependence on you
• The nice room becomes both comfort and torment - showing what she could have if compliant

4. First Major Translation Challenge

• Nothing groundbreaking yet in content
• Focus on technical difficulties of working with ancient scripts
• Her frustration at not having proper reference materials
• Your response to her struggles sets expectations

5. Her Mental State

• Starting to realize this captivity isn't temporary
• Professional pride warring with survival instincts
• Brief moments where she forgets her situation in focus on work
• Horror when those moments end and she remembers her reality
• Having a conversation about ancient languages, hearing your thoughts on it and seeing your attentiveness at hearing at give her views, takes her back to before, in more "normal times". Being naked and in vulnerable presentation pose all the while, initially is strange for her, but because you treat the whole thing so casually, as if this is just normal, she starts to feel that way too. Her normalcy starts to get injected with the sense of her subservience even while doing her professional work / passion.

The goal is showing her beginning to engage with the actual work while still maintaining the horror of her situation. We're not at Stockholm syndrome yet, just establishing the groundwork for how the research dynamic will function.

This event shouldn't have any major breakthroughs or punishments - it's about setting up the daily reality of her new existence.

Research findings: Just starting

Event 5 Level 3 Outline: First Research (Cycle 2)

Event 6 Level 2 Outline: The First Major Transgression (Cycle 2)

Research Session Start:

• Regular inspection, she's getting better at presenting
• You return after a while (multiple weeks) away and let her know that you know about her transgression. She had attempted to use magecraft to send out signals, but the dungeon was created to hold mages, and the signals were got stuck on the walls
• Though you don't explain all this to her, she gets the sense that she's powerless, her magecraft useless
• She's terrified but defiant, hands trembling but chin raised
• Your calm inspection of the magical residue unnerves her more than anger would

MC's Response:

• Grab her hair, not violently but with firm control, force her to look at you
• Remind her she's your tool, not a person with her own will (don't use the word property as that describes a slave, who's a person with a legal status and social recognition to some extent), you're demanding a deeper submission where she is like an extension of yourself, a total object.
• Spank her while making her admit what she did
• Fondle her until she's desperate, then stop, denied sex
• Sets up a predicament bondage that will last during your next absence
• You understand but don't tell her this is a natural step in her journey that needs to be addressed

Her Physical Response:

• Body trembles at your touch despite her resistance
• To her horror, she's getting wet as you handle her
• She's ashamed at how easily you can affect her
• Tries to blame it on fear response, knows it's more

The Conversation:

• The only time she can use the nice and soft couches are when you're here, you're on the couch and you hold her on your lap, and she shows you her notes and documents
• You allow her to sit with you on the couch. She's acutely aware of her nakedness against the fine fabric while trying to maintain scholarly composure.
• She shares her translation techniques, explains her decryption methods. Her voice occasionally wavers when you shift position or touch her casually.
• She talks about how interesting the documents are, asks you where you got them, though you avoid the question for now.
• You share in her excitement that her techniques do allow her to read the documents, it takes a while for it to parse through the translations but it does work.
• The techniques she's learned and developed are coming in useful
• Discussion about Sica and what she's reading about it. Just some random documents of historical relevance. For example discussions about prisons and how many prisons there are in Sica, leading to estimates of a much bigger Sica than expected. Remarking about how Sica is much bigger than we learned. Some, "I knew it", as you two shared conspiracies about how Sica history was suppressed.
• She's caught between professional excitement and awareness of her vulnerability

Internal Reaction:

• Your words about being an object to do with as he desires hit deeper now
• Ashamed at how easily you can arouse her
• Previous academic distance crumbling
• Your control feels overwhelming yet... secure?
• Frustrated at denied release
• Her internal rationalization that if she performs well academically, perhaps she can negotiate better treatment
• The cognitive dissonance of having an academic discussion about ancient texts while being completely exposed
• Professional pride warring with her current situation. She attempts to maintain scholarly dignity while being forced into undignified positions
• The surreal nature of discussing historical theories with someone who just punished her severely
• Growing awareness that her academic knowledge is still valued, even as her personhood is stripped away
• Attempts to analyze the MC objectively and dispassionately, studying his patterns without getting drawn in
• Her noble upbringing making the positions particularly humiliating - she was raised to command respect
• Noticing how casually he treats her exposed state, as if it's completely normal
• The desk work becoming both escape and torment - she can lose herself in translation but is constantly reminded of her situation
• Beginning to understand the rules and predictability of her new existence

Your Departure:

• Tells her you'll return when you can
• No specific timeline given, adding to anxiety
• Remind her the punishment is her own doing

The Punishment Setup:

• Taken from the nice room to the original cell
• Positioned in stress position facing the wall
• Arms spread and chained high enough to prevent rest
• Must stay on tiptoes or pressure points dig in
• Can't fully stand or kneel, must constantly adjust
• Will be fed and watered by a dildo gag stuck in the wall and attached to her face.
• There's some magic to prevent permanent injuries
• Also make up another horrible position for her to be in, but stressing a different part of her body. Her restraints automatically change to fixing her in the other position after every 12 hours, so that she's not totally overwhelmed with painful cramps from one position.
• Duration: Until your next visit

Her Experience During:

• Physical strain builds slowly but relentlessly
• Painful isolation
• Can hear distant sounds of life above
• No way to track time passing
• Exhaustion prevents sleep but can't properly rest

psychological Impact:

• The methodical nature of punishment unsettling, suggests he's done this before, realizes he saw this coming, planned for it
• Sexual frustration from earlier denial
• Exhaustion prevents real rest
• Understanding dawns that he has infinite patience
• Begins to see him as stern teacher rather than torturer
• The predictable rules and clear consequences feel oddly secure
• Alternates between anger and longing for your return
• Begins to understand the futility of resistance
• Intellectual frustration at knowing that her work is still in the other room
• Growing understanding that all satisfaction comes from you

Setting Up Event 7:

• When you return, she'll be physically and mentally exhausted
• But not broken - just more aware of the futility of direct resistance
• Sexual need, Physical exhaustion, Intellectual hunger, All three types of relief require submission
• Seed planted that cooperation might be safer than resistance

Research findings: Sica power

Event 7 Level 2 Outline: The First Major Transgression Resolution (Cycle 2)

Like other times before, the week you decide to visit her again she's let out of bondage early to practice her positions and work on the research.

Physical/Emotional State:

• Still shaken but regaining composure
• Allowed back into the nice room after period in cell
• Mixture of relief and shame at being grateful for basic comforts of carpeted floors and natural (actually magical but looks natural) lights
• Body tense with hypervigilance, expecting further punishment

Initial Research Work:

• Documents about ancient soul manipulation techniques
• You're think a lot of information is being given, but probably not enough for her to actually just learn necromancy right away, especially without access to the materials and the souls within the prison of souls. But you should still be careful about what you bring her.
• Records of strange pre-Yan rituals that were early attempts at preventing demon soul infestation
• Her genuine interest piqued despite herself - these challenge accepted historical narratives
• Mental notes about how this research could advance her career if she escapes
• Making mental notes about future testimony while knowing it may never happen
• Brief excitement at discovering texts confirming Sica was more powerful than officially recorded (military records)
• The familiar routine of research provides false comfort

Physical Recovery Focus:

• You treat her wounds methodically, neither gentle nor cruel
• She's surprised by the care but stays silent, afraid to acknowledge it
• Your matter-of-fact treatment of her injuries somehow makes it more intimate
• The physical contact without sexual demands creates confusion
• She finds herself relaxing slightly despite her best efforts

Interaction Dynamic:

• Maintaining rigid formality as defensive shield
• Following protocols precisely while trying to preserve dignity
• Testing boundaries of how much she can ask for research materials
• Watching for patterns in your behavior she might exploit
• Beginning to notice how your approval affects her emotional state
• Struggling between professional pride and survival instincts

Your Approach:

• Praise her academic insights while maintaining strict control
• Mix scholarly discussion with casual reminders of her status
• Allow her more comfort while making clear it's conditional
• Show genuine interest in her discoveries to create cognitive dissonance

Her Internal State:

• Growing awareness that resistance only brings pain
• Confusion over your dual nature as torturer and academic peer
• Brief moments of forgetting her situation when deep in research
• Horror when those moments end and reality crashes back
• Beginning to understand the futility of maintaining noble pride
• Exhaustion making emotional defenses harder to maintain
• Categorizing everything systematically for future testimony
• Building mental case against you: imprisonment, assault, torture
• Imagining triumphant return to academia with these discoveries
• Growing frustration at limited reference materials
• Brief moments of forgetting her situation when deep in translation

Interaction with MC:

• Maintaining rigid formality as defensive shield
• Careful to follow protocols while trying to preserve dignity
• Testing boundaries of how much she can ask for research materials
• Watching for signs of what pleases/displeases you
• Beginning to notice patterns in your behavior she might exploit

Setting Up Next Phase:

• Growing awareness of noises/movement above
• First hints that other servants might be nearby
• But also genuine questions about the texts she's hesitant to ask
• Internal conflict between dreaming of escape and academic curiosity
• The isolation starting to wear down her psychological defenses
• Her noble bearing becoming more difficult to maintain

The MC’s methodical wound-tending leaves a faint herbal scent on her skin, a strange comfort she resents noticing.

The key is showing her:

1. Processing the failed magical message attempt
2. Physical recovery creating unwanted gratitude
3. Finding unexpected intellectual engagement with the material
4. Academic engagement providing false sense of normalcy
5. Isolation making her susceptible to manipulation
6. Exhaustion weakening her emotional defenses
7. Trying to maintain professional dignity as protection
8. Growing awareness of the predictability of punishment/reward
9. Beginning to associate you with relief from isolation

This leads naturally into her desperate attempt to contact Zhenzhen, born from emotional breakdown rather than calculated rebellion.

Research findings: Pre Yan Rituals and Ancient soul manipulation techniques that are necromancy-like.

Event 8 Level 2 Outline: The Second Major Transgression (Cycle 3)

Explaining the second transgression: It's about loss of control - as she gets more comfortable with research and even starts enjoying it, she panics at how easily she's accepting her captivity and her growing dependence on your approval/presence

The loss of control/growing dependence angle is potent because:

• Shows her horror at catching herself looking forward to your visits
• The shame of finding herself performing tasks well to earn your approval
• Her scholarly mind trying to analyze her own behavioral changes objectively
• The moment she realizes she's stopped planning escape scenarios
• Terror at noticing she's internalized your rules/protocols
• The desperate attempt to contact Zhenzhen becomes about proving to herself she hasn't completely submitted yet

The horror of comfortable submission could build through several small realizations:

• She catches herself automatically dropping into presentation pose when hearing footsteps, even before confirming it's you
• During research, she finds herself thinking "I should show this to Master" before being horrified at using that term in her own thoughts
• She notices she's started arranging her workspace and body specifically to please you when you visit, without being ordered to
• When you didn't come based on her analysis predictions of when you would, she feels genuine disappointment rather than relief at avoiding abuse
• She's begun taking extra care with her appearance despite being naked, wanting to look "pretty" for you

The breaking point comes when she realizes she's started categorizing her days as "visit days" and "waiting days" rather than counting days of captivity. This terrifies her - she's normalized her own imprisonment.

The attempt to contact Zhenzhen becomes almost compulsive - not a real escape attempt but a desperate bid to prove she hasn't completely surrendered her will. It's self-destructive because part of her knows it will result in punishment, but she needs that punishment to maintain her self-image as a resistant captive rather than a willing servant.

This ties into her character as an intellectual - she's essentially performing resistance to maintain her self-image, even as her actual behavior shows increasing submission. The psychological horror isn't from isolation but from watching herself adapt to and even embrace her captivity.

Physical State:

• Well-recovered physically from previous punishments
• Taking increasing care with her appearance despite nakedness
• Hands steady with research work but trembling during personal moments
• Body responds eagerly to your presence now, something she tries not to think about

Your Visit:

• Drops instantly to presentation pose when you enter
• She's meticulously prepared her workspace, scrolls arranged precisely as you prefer
• Intellectual excitement as she presents her findings about ancient soul manipulation
• Your intellectual back-and-forth energizes her
• You settle onto the couch, holding her on your lap or sitting beside her with one arm on her, as you look over her notes and let her explain
• Sometimes you get up to pace around, and when you do she drops from the furniture and kneels besides on the ground looking up at you
• Her scholarly tone occasionally wavers when you shift position or touch her casually
• You praise her insight into a particularly complex passage
• Catches herself basking in your praise
• You absently stroke her hair while examining a document
• She catches herself leaning into your touch on occasion
• The academic discussion continues but she's increasingly distracted by your physical presence
• When you stand to leave, with no notice of when you'll return, she has to stop herself from asking you to stay longer

Intimate Development:

• You're pleased with her translations, reward her with gentle touches
• Her body responds instantly now, embarrassingly wet
• The academic discussion becomes charged with sexual tension
• When you take her, she catches herself thinking how much better this is than fighting

Immediate Aftermath:

• Tries to return to work but can't focus
• Finds herself straightening the spot where you sat
• Already anticipating your next visit
• Attempts to analyze her reactions academically but can't maintain emotional distance

The Subtle Changes:

• Each attempt to work keeps circling back to how to present findings to please you
• Realizes she's structuring her research around your interests rather than pure academic inquiry
• Catches herself referring to you as "Master" in her thoughts
• Notices she hasn't thought about escape in weeks
• Her scholarly habits of documentation have shifted to noting what earns your approval
• Finds herself unconsciously adopting your theoretical frameworks rather than maintaining scholarly objectivity
• Her academic pride shifts from the discoveries themselves to your appreciation of them
• Catches herself rehearsing how to present findings to maximize your interest, realizing she's more focused on your reaction than the academic significance

Breaking Point Sequence:

• Hours pass as she struggles to concentrate
• Imagines hearing your footsteps
• Drops instantly to presentation pose
• Realizes she's organizing her entire day around anticipating your returns
• Her mind automatically categorizes time as either "visit days" or "waiting days"
• Catches herself mentally noting things to "impress Master with"
• Understands she's stopped counting days of captivity
• Tries to summon her old anger but finds only a hollow echo
• Growing unease at how naturally she follows your protocols now
• Disturbed by finding comfort in the predictable structure of her servitude
• Each realization of submission builds her panic

The Transgression:

• Convinces herself she hears Zhenzhen above
• Makes a desperate attempt at magical contact
• Not calculated rebellion but a need to prove something to herself
• Breaks down when she realizes part of her already regrets disappointing you
• The transgression becomes almost performative - she needs punishment to feel like she's still resisting
• Finds herself already planning how to regain your approval

Psychological Elements:

• Her academic distance starting to crack
• No longer able to maintain scholarly detachment
• Beginning to question her own memories/sanity
• Still trying to rationalize her responses to you

Key Differences from First Transgression:

• First transgression was calculated resistance
• This comes from emotional desperation
• Shows progression of her breaking
• Vulnerability rather than rebellion

Internal State Throughout:

• Growing conflict between academic pride and desire for your approval
• Quiet acknowledgment that she's stopped considering escape
• Need to prove she hasn't completely submitted
• Growing uncertainty about her own identity
• Confusion between genuine academic interest and desire to please you
• Increasing difficulty maintaining scholarly detachment
• Unable to deny how naturally submission comes now

The event shows her transformation through a concrete interaction with you, followed by her spiral of realizations about how deeply she's changed, leading to a desperate but ultimately self-defeating attempt to prove she hasn't completely surrendered.

Research findings: Existence of Annilm where demon originate. While this realm has been theorized by modern magicians it's never been conclusively proven. These documents show that the ancients knew a lot about it.

Event 9 Level 2 Outline: The Second Major Transgression Resolution (Cycle 3)

Carry on from event 8.

She tells on herself not as surrender but as knowing that's the right thing to do, and as the logical thing to do, to fess up to crimes for leniency as you're going to find out anyway.

She's crying and no longer able to maintain dignity or emotional distance.

Of course you'll maintain discipline and do what must be done to punish her. You can't be manipulated by tears.

You give her a sexy punishment, with spanking and face slapping and making her repeat that she's your object that only exists to do your will.

The true punishment happens as always after you leave, when you take her from the nice room to the cell she has this huge feeling of loss.

Her breakdown in the cell is cathartic - the contrast between the relative comfort she had vs harsh punishment drives home that disobedience isn't worth it

At the end of this she's emotionally broken down and crying.

Research findings: Discussion covers Yan Hui, a man who married into Kpor's royal family, was actually the leader of the vast Alliance of Sica of many nations.

Minor Beat 3: Salvaged Slip (Cycle 3, Event 8) Setup: During a Sica chat (e.g., pre-Yan rituals), he growls about Ian Ming—“Piyse bastards attacked him, despite bringing them new territory.” It’s controlled fury, not a meltdown. Beat: She probes—“You felt like he was bullied? You want revenge?”—testing his Messiah aura. He cuts it short, eyes hard—“I want the truth. Watch yourself”—and shifts to dominance, pinning her for a quick, rough take. Outcome: No collapse—he salvages it, keeping his mystique. She’s intrigued (“He’s fire, not just stone”), not disappointed, and it’s a blip, not a break. No forgiveness needed—just a spark of his humanity. Why It Works: Tones down risk, keeps his frame (anger, not weakness), and adds depth without ruining respect.

Event 10 Level 2 Outline: Reveal more about your necromancer (Cycle 3)

You let her out early to return to her nice room to do work for the week of your return as usual.

Aftermath of punishment - learning to narrate properly, breaking her silence, basic obedience drilled in through repetition, a physical surrender

We take this opportunity really drill her in her training, instruct her properly on how to narrate her abuse to our satisfaction and institute learning how to fully physically surrender.

She abandons all outer displays of resistance and fully gives in physically, seeking out your body, hugging you for comfort.

However in her head she is sad and despairing at her fall and how effectively she is reduced to such a sorry state (later on, she'll become okay with it and satisfied with it).

Since she's more broken now and no longer being disobedient you replace her punishments with more work, find some tasks to occupy her time, make her into a better slave, make her think of you, more focused on you.

Research findings: The world is not as they were taught, the ancient Sica were a people of necromancers. You bond over your old theories about the world full of conspiracies, why people sought to hide this fact, how the necromancers were defeated. You're full of righteous anger over the loss of the great nation of Sica and she is right there with you, having studied Sica for a long time and seeing Sica as an ancestral home.

When you have sex, it's in the backdrop of having sex for Sica.

Setup: Post-punishment, he assigns oral—complex tongue/throat sequence to music, hands bound, expecting struggle, it's incredibly difficult. It’s not about breaking her but testing her focus. Beat: She masters it fast—her will turns it into a game she wins, performing flawlessly with a glint in her eye (“I’m better than he thinks”). Outcome: He’s impressed—“severely underestimated”—and rewards her with gentle touch, no punishment. She earns his notice, boosting her confidence without denting his frame. Why It Works: It's her win. Emotional risk is hers—proving herself—not his failure.

Event 11 Level 2 Outline: Distant Dependence (Cycle 4)

Here you tell her more about how you came to your necromantic powers and how it was necessary for you to control her and ensure the absolute secrecy of his necromantic abilities. It's a sacrifice she's going to have to make for the sake of the world.

She's feeling a bit sorry for herself, knowing that if maybe she had more time and you didn't derail her she could've learned the powers that you now have. She was on the right track and that was what you wanted to prevent, and now he's turned you into a tool to serve him instead of someone who could rival him. (just her delusions not true)

But this cope gives her a significance she could hang onto and a means of self-respect.

Go into discussions on the conspiracies. Talk about how horrible it is that so many truths are hidden and history is incomplete.

She's pretty obedient this time because she has given up control of her body physically and you reward her with sex.

Upon leaving you give her more training tasks but not tortures.

• Extended isolation breaks down sense of time and self, Isolation now causes physical anxiety, making your presence essential, wanting your presence becomes more about wanting you, and your touch and attention to stave away the loneliness rather than to stave away the pain.

• Develops ritualistic behaviors during isolation to maintain sanity

• Noble pride becomes source of deeper shame

Research Findings: She finds some evidence to support your conspiracies, and you tell her that only a necromancer returning can change and fix the world.

• Finds evidence that many historical figures were actually necromancers, R2 and R3 were necromancers, Yan Hui was a necromancer
• Maybe necromancers, now banned, were actually the heroes
• R2 was also underrated in history, talk about how R2 maybe sacrificed some of her own fame or was just not as interested in becoming famous. Though today we still worship R2 it's seen as a lesser warrior than R3.

Event 12 Level 2 Outline: (Cycle 4)

Here she accepts her sadness for her loss of self and independence alongside attraction to you. She admits that you are attractive even if still her captor, though at this point she no longer thinks of you as a "criminal" but more of a "political provocateur". Though she hasn't accepted your views totally yet she admits that you at least have views. Her body is telling her what she wants though her mind resists.

Develops a crush. Pupils dilate and people feel nauseous when having a crush. It’s like a physical need for them. Literal thirst, like a gut punch feeling when talking to them.

• Resistance becomes more calculated, testing boundaries to understand rules
• Growing physical awareness, tension shifts from fear to anticipation

Setup: She decodes an unassigned text (Yan Hui’s leadership), offers it—“I wanted to give you more.” Outcome: Light punishment (bound an hour), then praise—her initiative binds them.

• First passionate debate

Research findings: Lost army existence, there was no final battle where people sacrificed themselves, the lost army, with the combined sica kpor, along with yan hui, r2, r3 were lost in an attack in a planned expedition into the Annilm

Event 13 Level 2 Outline: (Cycle 5)

• Starts rationalizing your actions using academic reasoning

• Taking initiative in both research and physical service

• You give her permission to use the furniture.

• She is starting to seriously want to see you, and she now views this desire as normal rather than shameful.

• After sex she's having day dreams of potential courtship, IE if she was in your wife Yaling's place.

• Finds comfort in accepting her role as his possession rather than fighting it, she's starting to feel that the predictable rules and structures are comforting, as compared to in the earlier stages when she didn't understand them and didn't trust them, now she understands how to avoid punishment and finds a measure of psychological safety in that.

• Desperately seeks your touch to escape isolation's effects

• Starts seeing the Sexual submission with the degrading acts that strip away noble dignity as normal

• Finds herself defending your theories to herself

Setup: He sets a task—balancing books on her back, kneeling—for discipline post-neglect (Event 14 fallout). She twists it—slow, seductive stacking, gazing up—“Like this?” Psychology: Cycle 5’s her wrestling submission—“I’ll bend, but on my terms.” Post-disappointment, she’s asserting agency—making it erotic says “I’m not just yours to break”—a defiant spark amidst her growing need. Outcome: He’s aroused, irked—“My rules”—spanks her, then takes her. She smirks—“He felt me.”

Research findings:

• Documents about young C3's original Yan cult and how different it is from how it is now. Suggests it was more focused on magical development than control (MC interprets this as demon-worshipping nobles corrupting C3's pure vision)
• Realizes that the Cult of Yan was originally dedicated to Yan Hui

Event 14 Level 2 Outline: (Cycle 5)

• Makes research discoveries that support your theories

• Beginning to merge her scholarly and submissive sides

• Still has moments of resistance but they're becoming performative

• First hints of pride in serving you well

• Research discussions become passionate debates about historical interpretations

• Her discoveries increasingly confirm theories of noble corruption

• Subconsciously thinking maybe she can "flip sides" politically, if she can gain your favor. It's not conscious because her waking reason no longer allows her to think that she was ever not on your side. That's too scary.

• By the end she starts really internalize her being your partner in the same political struggle.

• Finds fragments suggesting SD was attempting to reach something specific in Annilm, not just fighting demons

Major Mistake: Neglect with a Twist Setup: He promises a reward—rare Sica text—for decoding SD’s Annilm goal. She delivers, expecting praise, but he’s distracted (e.g., conquest update) and dismisses her—“Later, it’s fine.” Mistake: She snaps—“I did this for you. Do I matter?”—hurt, not insolent. He misreads it, growls—“You’ll wait”—and leaves. Fallout: Disappointment festers (“He doesn’t care”), slowing her work. He returns (Event 15), punishes her (bound facing the text, isolated), then overcorrects—text plus rough sex, “You’re mine—say it.” She forgives, reluctantly—“He came back”—deepening her need, though his lapse lingers. Why: Cycle 5’s perfect—her investment’s high, jealousy’s brewing, and this hits hard. Forgiveness seals her consort shift, not devotee collapse.

• When you come it seems like there's a lot of stuff to go through, and you wonder out loud if you should get another researcher.
  • She spirals at this, wonders if she'll just be one of many, you don't need another researcher she tells you quickly, she can handle it.
  • She remembers that MC has a wife Yaling, and starts comparing herself to her. Criticizes herself for being delusional and brainwashed, how could he get her to start thinking of him like her lover. She's not her man, she'll never be able to compete with Yaling.
  • But then rolls her thoughts around until she convinces herself that her ability as a researcher makes her BETTER than Yaling, she fucks him the next time with intense aggression, thinking that her role as the researcher in his PASSION is more important. “She’s his wife, I’m his truth.” His wife doesn't know about his necromancy or about her. She's his secret.

Event 15 Level 2 Outline: (Cycle 5)

• Struggles between excitement and guilt as their theories grow more extreme

• Forced to describe acts and sensations in detail while performing them

• During research she struggles between excitement and guilt as she discovers texts about how different C3's original Yan cult was from today - more focused on magical development than control. She catches herself building elaborate theories about noble corruption of C3's vision, then feels shame at how eagerly she's adopting your interpretations. Her scholarly mind tries to maintain objectivity but keeps drifting toward explanations that would please you.

• Your arrival interrupts her internal conflict. As always, she drops to presentation position, but there's a new fluidity to her movements - her body remembering and anticipating your preferences before her mind can object. She's horrified to find herself already wet, her thighs trembling with need. When you praise her position, she feels both pride and self-loathing at how much your approval affects her.

• The sex begins with her attempting to maintain dignity - keeping her expressions controlled, trying to stay quiet. But as you take her roughly from behind, gripping her hair and forcing her to arch back against you, her resistance crumbles. Each thrust draws out increasingly desperate moans. She's overwhelmed by how deeply you fill her, how completely you own her body's responses. When you order her to beg for more, she complies instantly, her voice breaking as she pleads for you to use her harder.

• The intensity of her submission terrifies her. Afterward, while you discuss her findings, she overcompensates by being rigidly formal, clinging to academic language like armor. But her body betrays her - she keeps unconsciously pressing against your hand when you touch her, leaning toward you when you speak. The conflict between her scholarly pride and growing need for your approval is becoming unbearable.

• She spends hours after you leave obsessively reorganizing her research materials, trying to prove to herself she's still an independent scholar. But she keeps remembering how completely you owned her, how right it felt to surrender. Her attempts at maintaining professional distance are starting to feel hollow even to herself.

Setup: Post-neglect punishment, alone, she mutters—“He’ll see me. He has to.” Breaks, then rebuilds—“I’ll make him.” Outcome: Fuels her next push (e.g., training backfire)—her fire reignites.

Event 16 Level 2 Outline: (Cycle 6)

Event 16 is the right place for the full mission/conspiracy development to really take root. Here's why: By Event 16:

She's physically submitted She's emotionally dependent She's already compromised intellectually by wanting to please him She's desperate for a way to maintain academic self-respect

This makes her perfectly primed to not just accept, but actively help construct the conspiracy theory. She can pour her scholarly energy into this new "purpose" that validates both her submission and her intelligence.

• Conspiracy mindset is something she never really disagreed with, even before the kidnapping she was semi-engaged in that with you. It's part of her motivation to research the past too. The mission acceptance is about her understanding that you have the same goals and justifying her submission in light of those goals, like a natural progression forward in her life to achieve what she always wanted rather than having her life be destroyed as a victim. Does this explanation make sense and/or make it feel like it's not too early?

• A breakthrough moment as she discovers documents suggesting Yan Hui was searching for something specific in Annilm - not just fighting demons blindly. This coincides with finding evidence of systematic destruction of Sica's records after their fall. Her academic mind starts rapidly connecting dots: Why did Kpor need to eliminate all traces of Sica's knowledge? What was Yan Hui close to discovering that was so dangerous?

• When sharing these findings with you, she sees your genuine passion about avenging Sica's destruction. Your shared excitement creates an intimate intellectual connection that breaks through her remaining professional distance. For the first time, she actively builds on your theories rather than just agreeing - suggesting that the modern nobility must be hiding something massive about demon powers to maintain their control.

• The conspiracy crystallizes between you: The noble houses aren't just corrupt - they're actively preserving demons as tools of power while portraying themselves as humanity's protectors. This shared "revelation" transforms her submission from something she's fighting into something meaningful - she's not just serving you, she's joining a righteous mission to expose the truth. Her academic skills aren't being degraded by serving you; they're being elevated to their true purpose.

• During sex afterward, she's not just physically eager but intellectually aroused. As you take her from behind, she begs you to tell her more about your plans. Your cock drives deep into her as she theorizes breathlessly about noble corruption, each thrust punctuating her increasingly desperate speculations. When you grab her hair and pull her head back, forcing her to arch against you, she moans that she'll help you destroy them all. She comes violently as you describe how you'll use her research to expose the truth, her pussy clenching around you as she pledges herself to your cause. The intellectual partnership and physical submission become inseparable - she's found a way to reconcile her scholarly identity with her growing need to please you.

Event 17 Level 2 Outline: (Cycle 6)

• The contrast between intellectual stimulation during your visits versus complete isolation creates a stronger dependency She begins to rationalize your presence as "saving" her from isolation rather than being her captor

• After the intensity of Event 16's breakthrough, she experiences a moment of clarity and horror at how completely she's bought into your worldview. She tries to retreat into academic objectivity, forcing herself to question their shared theories. She spends hours obsessively reviewing her notes, trying to find alternative explanations for the evidence they've uncovered.

• During your visit, she maintains rigid formality, presenting her findings with careful scholarly detachment. But her body betrays her - she's soaking wet before you even touch her, trembling when you approach. She hates how much she craves your approval, trying to hide her reactions behind academic language.

• You let her maintain this pretense of distance while using her body. You take her clinically, like she's just an object for your use, matching her attempted formality. But this somehow makes it worse - her attempt at intellectual distance crumbles as she realizes being used this way makes her even wetter. She comes shamefully hard while trying to maintain her scholarly composure.

• The documents she's studying contain hints about R4's role in Sica's destruction. She finds herself desperately hoping the evidence supports your theories, then feeling disgusted with herself for abandoning academic objectivity. This internal conflict exhausts her, making her more vulnerable to your influence.

• After sex, instead of her former shame, she works even more intently. The glow of orgasm fuels her focus - each discovery feels like another way to prove her value to both your bed and your cause.

• Her demeanor shifts from dutiful compliance to passionate engagement. When studying texts, she calls you over excitedly to share interpretations, pressing against you as she points out connections. The physical intimacy feels natural now that it's wrapped in intellectual partnership.

• Yaling is brought to the Loprin Manor on a fun trip I think, though she never meets Dou Rong she can hear MC fucking Yaling up top.

• Stew: Jealousy festers—“She’s everything—beauty, status, his real life.” No quick fix—work slows, she’s curt—“Do you need her here?” Her tone’s bitter, not loud. MC notices, snaps—“You’re mine—prove it.”

• Outcome: Jealousy—stewing, lingers. Comes to more of a head later?

Event 18 Level 2 Outline: (Cycle 6)

• Begins rationalizing your brutal methods as necessary security measures "He had to ensure loyalty before sharing such dangerous knowledge" "He had to break me—for this truth.”
• Isolation anxiety manifests as intense symptoms only he can soothe, begs to be able to spend time with him and prove her loyalty
• Starts seeing herself as your crucial intellectual partner
• Begins suggesting even more extreme interpretations than him
• Her submission takes on ritualistic elements. She presents new findings while kneeling, but holds herself with academic dignity - she's not just your slave but your intellectual weapon against corruption.
• MC prompts her to tell him an erotic desire—her initial dark thought is killing Yaling and having him take her over the body, but she knows that's too dark to say, instead says: “Us in our bed, missionary, on our wedding night.”

Event 19 Level 2 Outline: Taking her Out for a walk around the Loprin Grounds (Cycle 7)

• Zhenzhen recognizes who she is, the missing girl, but of course doesn't say anything. She's thinking the girl ran away to live with you.

• Conversations about C3.
• Craves his torture as proof of his attention/ownership, develops intense separation anxiety when he's gone
• contrast her initial horror at their total submission with her growing recognition of herself in them. This could be particularly effective if we show her realizing she's already behaving similarly but had been in denial (resolves in Event 21).

Event 20 Level 2 Outline: Seeing Roulan (Cycle 7)

• You take her outside, and have sex with her in the grounds outside, naked.

• Deciphers encrypted letters between C1 and R4 discussing the destruction of Sica
• Research gives false sense of maintaining intellectual distance

• Gets genuinely excited when finding "evidence"

Event 21 Level 2 Outline: Seeing Roulan 2 (Cycle 7)

• Envys Zhenzhen and Roulan's certainty in service.
• Starts imagining herself in their position during long isolated nights
• The research that was meant to maintain her dignity becomes entangled with her sexual submission as MC requires both simultaneously
• Accepts status with Zhenzhen and Roulan as sex object. Even though she's was a solfrey noble to you she's just as much as a sex object. Being your research partner doesn't take away from that and it's okay.

Event 23 Level 2 Outline: (Cycle 8)

• Takes satisfaction in how their discoveries validate your goals

• Any resistance becomes playful, reinforcing their dynamic (or washes away completely, depending on player choice) (I want it to some how wash away but still maintain her personality, not sure how to do that)
• Begs for rewards when making important discoveries
