Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

"Do you hate to be a human to be powerless?" Rudy asked curiously.

"Of course, a human, My Lord. I do not want to be called one of them."

'Well, it's more of a cliche that dragons hate humans in most games or novels, but… damn. Is that why she was sealed?' Rudy wondered.

Although Rudy didn't plan to punish her badly, if she hated humans, then letting her roam freely was surely not an option. Of course, the reason was completely different, but Rudy was ignorant of that.

"Why hate humans? If it's because of something that happened thousands of years ago, then should you not forgive them for whatever they did to you?"

The dragon girl raised her head and looked at Rudy with a confused and baffled look on her face, as though she couldn't comprehend what she had just heard.

"B-But M-my Lord… you…" The dragon girl gulped down, as though she was gathering courage to state her question.

"Have you forgiven humans for what they did?" she asked with an eager look on her face, seemingly wondering if she had missed something while she was in a slumber for thousands of years.

'Forgive them?' Rudy rubbed his chin. 'Why is she asking me that? Did I… I mean, the Lord had something against the humans? Well, whatever, if I can avoid casualties and the hassle, I will just go along with it.'

Rudy shrugged his shoulders and asserted, "I will never forgive that damned race. They will remain forsaken till the end of times. They are abandoned and will remain abandoned until every single one of humans has perished from the face of this planet."

Now, Rudy had the same reaction the dragon girl had when she had asked the question. He couldn't believe what he had just said, and that was not what he wanted to say. He covered his mouth with his hand to avoid speaking more, even though he wasn't speaking.

'What the fuck did I just say?! That's not what I was going to say. It was like my tongue spoke against me, as though I lost control over it!'

"I expected so, My Lord." She lowered her head again. "Which is why I don't want to become a human. If you truly want to punish me, then kill me."

"I don't want to kill you. I like to make disobedient people suffer," Rudy replied instantly.

The dragon girl stayed silent for a few seconds before proposing an idea. "My Lord, if you allow me, I can make a suggestion."

Rudy raised his brow with an impressed look on his face and said, "You can what? You want to tell me how to punish you?"

The dragon girl bit her lips and muttered, "Of course it's up to you. I am simply making a suggestion."

"Go ahead." Rudy agreed with a nod.

"I…" After a slight pause, she continued, "I can be your slave."

"..." Rudy didn't expect her to suggest a harsh punishment, but he was surprised to hear her suggestion.

'She keeps calling me 'My Lord' so isn't it the same as before?' Rudy wondered.

"What exactly do you mean by becoming my slave?"

"I… will become your… servant. I will do anything you ask me for. You can make me do anything. You can even ask me to…" The dragon girl shot a quick glance at Rudy's boner and continued, "...help you with that."

'...!" Realization struck Rudy like a lightning.

He had a boner ever since he saw the dragon transforming into a human girl. However, he was so lost in the atmosphere that he had forgotten that he was pretty much naked, with his lower half completely exposed.

Rudy felt embarrassed like a normal human would, but now it was too late to act, so he kept himself composed and acted as it was completely on purpose.

"Do you think I will forgive you, then? It's no different from what you were obliged to do before and after."

"Yes, My Lord. I know that. I… all the beings in the universe are your slave, but I can be different!" She raised her head. "I can be more! I am not worthy enough to be your partner or as some like to call it— wife! But I can be your… mistress!"

"Oh…"

Rudy couldn't believe what he had just heard. A dragon had submitted to him and was willing to become his lover, without demanding anything in return.

'What the hell?! Back in the days, it was so hard to even be friends with a girl, yet alone take them as a girlfriend. And here, a mighty dragon is surrendering her body and soul to me?!'

'I will get to have sex with…' Rudy gulped down as he ogled the dragon girl's body and her curves.

'Wait… is this okay, though? I mean… it feels wrong to exploit her like that…' Rudy's morals stopped him from thinking further.

'But she herself proposed the idea so it would be rude to turn down her offer… right?' However, his lust conquered above all.

"Very well, I will see how it goes," he responded in a calm, yet authoritative tone.

"I will not let you down, My Lord!" she said while staring at Rudy's boner.

'Oh, come on! A dragon is… making a pun.' Rudy let out a soft sigh.

"I…" She gulped down, but the intent behind that was better to be kept a secret.

"Hmm?"

"Do you want me to… help you…?"

'Of course I do! I can't take it anymore! Damn it, my libido! You make me make irrational choices!'

Which is why it was better to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Rudy pondered for a few seconds before making his choice.

'What should I do? I mean, I want to… but… this is not the right time. I need to get Eric back to his house. Maybe… after that…'

"I will call you when I need you."

The dragon girl looked a bit sad to hear that, but she had no choice but to accept.

WOOSH!

She spread her wings while she was still in her human form, and she smiled at Rudy.

"I leave my heart in your care, My Lord. Just say my name when you need me." After saying that, she soared into the sky and vanished above the clouds.

Rudy watched her leave as a slight smile appeared on his face, but just a second later, his smile vanished as he realized something.

"...what is her name…?'
