Chapter 148 Torture 2 (1/2)

(Regaleon's POV)

The air inside the room went stale. All eyes of the ones present in the room were all on me, shock written on their faces. They might have had an idea what I was planning to do.

”I want to personally torture her.” I said with a cold tone. I look at the woman in front of me fiercely.

This woman had inflicted such pain to my Alicia, both physically and emotionally. I want her to suffer by my own hands.

”No, no, no, no! Don't come near me!” Erica screamed in fright.

I walked towards the table beside Erica where the torture devices are laid out. I pick them up one by one, inspecting them.

”I will explain the uses of each device, your highness.” Shawn said with respect.

”Hmm.” I nodded in agreement.

”This, your highness is a thumbscrew.” Shawn picked up a small metal object with a screw. ”A person's fingers are one of the most sensitive parts in the body. This device is used to crush the fingers or toes slowly and painfully.” Shawn explained.

”I see.” I hold the device and inspected it carefully.

There is ten of this thumbscrew device in Shawn's pouch, which means one for each finger.

”Then let me use this first.” I smiled wickedly.

”No, don't come near me. Take that thing away from me.” Erica was squirming from her sit.

I take one of her hands that were balled into a fist, she was fighting hard. I acknowledge her fighting spirit. Of course, it would be boring if she just sits there submissively.

I forcefully pried open her closed fits and inserted a thumbscrew in her forefinger. I slowly nutted it in place until it tightened.

”Ahhhhh!!!” Erica screamed with the pain. With her scream, I hooked up my mouth into a smile.

”Please bear with it a little. This is my first time doing this.” I grinned.

”Noooo… Take it off!!! It hurts.” Erica begged with tears.

”Does it hurt? Well then that's good.” I was satisfied with her pain.

After that, I have inserted all the thumbscrews in her fingers. Erica was screaming and crying in the process.

”Let's tighten them up a little more.” I was not yet satisfied with the tightness of the thumbscrews.

”Please…No more!” Erica begged. Her face was now full of tears.

”I like hearing you beg.” I grinned. ”Beg more.”

Erica looked at me with pleading eyes. ”Please I beg you, have mercy. Let me go.”

My grin widened even more. ”The respectable and high queen is begging for mercy. I like it.” I said. Erica was looking at me with hopeful eyes, thinking that her begging had moved me.

It was really a pleasure for me to see the high and mighty queen who was at the top of the pedestal, stoop down so low to beg for mercy in front of me. In my eyes, she looks like a dog begging for a bone.

”What else can I use?” I looked at Shawn with a smile.

Erica's eyes went wide. Her hope just back then crumbled into dust.

”No, please. You said if I begged…” Erica said.

”I didn't say that I would stop if you begged.” I looked her way. ”I just said that I like seeing you beg.” I grin wickedly.

Erica resumed her begging, telling me to spare her from such pain.

”This is nothing compared to the many years you have tormented Alicia.” I said in a cold tone.
