Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 268: Awakened Slave Mentality

Another day had passed since the three modules were destroyed.

The palace of Eternal Night.

The laughable final battle between the modules and the True Ancestor left a tragic wound on this castle.

In the dilapidated walls, there was also the remnant power of the fatal curse poison and blood magic hidden in the shimmering scars on the walls and ground, ready to explode at any moment.

The True Ancestor charged into the palace and killed the queen's guest while she was out…

However, regarding this humiliation…

The queen of Eternal Night did not express anything.

This was because of her promise to her lover and benefactor.

It was also because…

Outside the queen's chamber.

A team of doctors consisting of a female werewolf and a female human mage bowed respectfully to the Wolf Throat guarding the door of the queen's bedroom.

The two doctors were uneasy. "Her Majesty Hedwig has ruled over Eternal Night for 300 years and nothing has ever happened to her body. At the same time, we've never had to treat the immortal werewolves who would never get injured or sick… We can only give it our all, but I'm afraid we can't guarantee anything."

"Don't be nervous, doctors."

The Wolf Throat's voice was kind. "I'll leave the leader to the two of you."

The two doctors nodded, opened the door and walked into the queen's chamber.

The queen's chamber was very in line with the queen's style—simple.

It was a rather large room but it was very empty. Apart from a few ordinary-looking spoils of war on the wall, there was not even a bed here.

There was only a large animal skin carpet.

This was probably the queen's daily bed.

At that moment, the beautiful wolf queen was waiting quietly for the doctors to arrive.

The doctors were a little surprised.

The Wolf Queen was indeed sick…

Today, Hedwig was clearly different from the queen of the wolf pack she normally was.

The Wolf Queen's face was flushed and her body was limp, emitting an intoxicating female fragrance.

Hedwig stole a glance at the carpet that was drenched by her bodily fluids and looked away, feeling a little embarrassed.

According to the rules, the two doctors kowtowed respectfully to the queen of the wolf pack before asking carefully, "Leader, when do we start?"

When Hedwig heard that, she unbuttoned her coat gently.

That was her answer.

… Right now.

When the two doctors saw that, they stepped forward carefully and began to examine Hedwig's body respectfully.

Recently, the Wolf Queen, Hedwig, had encountered a small problem.

Some time ago, the Wolf Queen began her once-a-year estrous cycle.

Originally, it was nothing much. The instincts of a wild beast would be there every year.

The estrous cycle of a werewolf usually lasted two to three weeks.

Perhaps it was because of the mixed-blood properties of the queen of the wolf pack, her estrous cycle was stronger and shorter than ordinary werewolves.

Generally speaking, in just a week, the queen of the wolf pack, Hedwig, would be released from the torment of losing control of her rationality and return to normal.

But now, something abnormal has happened…"

A week passed.

Almost two weeks had passed…

The estrous cycle of the queen of the wolf pack was still not over.

Not only was it not over, it seemed to have intensified.

The first to discover the abnormality of the Wolf Queen was the Wolf Throat who was always by her side.

Due to the intervention of the mechagod, the queen of the wolf pack could not rest during the estrous cycle and could only be forced to work overtime.

As for the Wolf Throat, he had to accompany the Wolf Queen and act as her interpreter.

However…

The Wolf Throat realized that initially, Hedwig was already at the end of that period.

Yet, ever since Hedwig spent those two nights outside...

Suddenly, when she returned, she did not want to eat or drink. She sat on the throne every day and rubbed her thighs, thinking about a mysterious lover she had the late-night rendezvous with.

The sweet fragrance on her body became even more alluring.

At the Wolf Throat's age, as an old wolf that was so old that he could not even maintain his human form, he would not be affected by the hormones emitted by Hedwig.

However, he could clearly sense…

The Wolf Queen's body had become abnormal.

Hedwig realized that as well.

Therefore, she invited the doctors over.

However, after checking the body of the queen of the wolf pack, the two doctors themselves were scared to death by the initial diagnosis they received.

The doctors were uneasy and in disbelief. They hurriedly tested it a few more times, but the expressions on their faces turned increasingly desperate…

After countless repeated tests, the Wolf Queen's moans became even stranger.

The doctors were even more terrified and were about to break down.

The answer to the physical examination was obvious.

They did not dare to lie.

However, if they told the truth, they would probably die an even more tragic death...

In the end, after enduring a long mental torture…

The doctors revealed the answer that had been verified countless times in despair…

"According to our inspection, the final result we obtained was… Leader… you've been domesticated by humans."

"!!!"

The moment that was said, it was like a bolt from the blue.

Hedwig was stunned on the spot.

Be it the two doctors or Hedwig, they knew the meaning of that sentence.

Domestication...

It was a special transformation of the werewolf's body.

It was the same as how vampires treated humans as prey and were born to bewitch them.

Werewolves, a species that similarly ate humans, had a special relationship with humans as well.

However, werewolves could not bewitch humans.

On the contrary, they might even be bewitched by humans.

The proper term they used for that was... domestication.

When a werewolf interacted with humans for a long time and their relationship gradually deepened…

In that case, there was a chance that this werewolf would undergo some physiological changes.

Wolves were a very obedient type of animal.

They adhered to discipline and followed their leader loyally. They were willing to risk their lives for their leader, even at the cost of their lives.

However…

Once a werewolf no longer thought that their leader was the alpha of the wolf pack but a human...

They would no longer belong to the wolf pack and could only stay on beds provided by humans.

At that time, the wildness in their bodies would be obliterated, leaving only their loyalty to a certain human leader.

So yes, domestication.

A domesticated werewolf would develop servility towards the human who tamed her and would instinctively be unable to resist the orders of that human.

If her master reprimanded her, she would be sad. If her master praised her, she would be excited. No matter what her master taught her, she would work hard to learn it. All she wanted was to be a good pet that could please her master wholeheartedly.

This was not caused by her innate personality. Instead, it was completely based on her instincts as a werewolf.

Of course, her human-eating nature would also change from then on.

A domesticated werewolf could even digest grains and vegetables.

In layman's terms, this werewolf would become a dog raised by humans.

In the olden werewolf societies, domesticated werewolves were the greatest humiliation of the wolf pack and would be hunted down crazily by the wolf pack immediately.

And now…

Even if the queen of the wolf pack enforced all sorts of strict rules and ordered the werewolves to get along harmoniously with humans…

She had never advocated that werewolves should be domesticated by humans.

The prosperity of the werewolves should be built on the foundation of a world dominated by the werewolves.

Werewolves could get along with humans as equals.

However, there was no way they could become the pets of the humans.

But now…

Hedwig had become a pet of a certain human.

Hedwig looked at the doctors in a daze. At that moment, the Wolf Queen no longer had the usual killing intent and ruthlessness on her face. Instead, it was as though she was a young girl who had found out about her unexpected pregnancy.

Surprise, fear, shame…

However, at the same time… there was an uncontrollable joy.

"There's no doubt, doctors. This is a misdiagnosis."

Before Hedwig, who had a conflicted expression, could express her stance, the Wolf Throat, who had heard the commotion, spoke outside the door in a serious tone.

"Leader, can I come in?"

Hedwig put on her clothes and coughed gently, expressing her approval.

Thereafter, the bedroom door was pushed open once more.

The old wolf emphasized once more with an incomparably firm voice, "The diagnosis of the checkup just now was wrong. Doctors, it's indeed difficult for you to conduct a physical examination for the legendary immortal Wolf Queen… Am I right?"

The two doctors who were already scared to death nodded crazily now that they had a way out.

Although the news of the Wolf Queen, Hedwig, being domesticated by humans was ridiculous and explosive and could be said to be the biggest news in Eternal Night in the past few years, the two of them were naturally not interested in the slightest bit when they were right in the center of the storm for this gossip.

"T-That's right! Her Majesty Hedwig's body structure is different from ordinary werewolves. We must have made a mistake!"

The Wolf Throat scrutinized the two doctors.

Thereafter, the Wolf Throat sighed. "The two of you, stay in the palace and work in the future."

"A-Alright, we'll be happy to…"

The two doctors accepted the appointment in fear and were taken away by the guards outside the door.

After dealing with the issue of the doctors who conducted the physical examination...

The Wolf Throat looked at Hedwig solemnly again.

The reason for Hedwig's extended estrous cycle had been found.

What did Hedwig experience in the past two days that allowed her to be domesticated by a certain human?

Judging from Hedwig's mixed expression of shock and delight… she did not know about this either.

It seemed like it was only the initial stages of the symptoms.

It was precisely because the Wolf Queen was domesticated that there were physiological changes to her body.

Her estrous cycle had lengthened.

Although the Wolf Throat was not a doctor, he knew a lot about the concept of domestication.

In order to be compatible with her human master, Hedwig's estrous cycle was becoming the same as that of a human.

According to the Wolf Throat's guess… it was possible that Hedwig would be in this state all year round from now on.

It was clear.

The change in the Wolf Queen was related to that mysterious male who had a tryst with the Wolf Queen in the middle of the night twice.

"Leader… could it be that the person you're meeting in private is a human?"

Hedwig leaned against the wardrobe shyly and... nodded.
