Rumble—!
A powerful wave began to surge around her.
Killing intent.
An overwhelming aura of murderous intent spread outward, and those who had not trained in mana felt their legs give out, collapsing one by one.
Something was wrong. The captain thought so.
But he couldn’t back down here.
“Has this bitch really gone insane?!”
He charged at her.
Rebellion!
She shouted:
“There’s no need to dirty my hands. Radelk!”
“Yes, Master.”
Radelk casually deflected the man’s punch with the teapot he was holding.
Clang!
The ordinary ceramic teapot remained perfectly intact.
What broke… was the captain’s fist.
“Ghk—AAARGH!”
He screamed in agony.
The soldiers watching were equally horrified.
‘Did… did the God of Beauty really intervene?’
‘The god is angry!’
In their memories, she had been nothing more than a girl with a disorder, incapable of even using mana. And Radelk had merely been a long-serving butler.
Yet this display of power and authority—
She slowly rose to her feet.
A breeze stirred, her hair fluttering softly. Light gathered around her body, making her look every bit like a divine messenger.
‘She looks just like the former count…’
One by one, even those who had remained standing began to kneel.
She spoke:
“The God of Beauty has spoken. This world is filled with ugly men, and so it must be filled with handsome ones. Those who are kind, even if born unattractive, shall receive blessings and become handsome. But those who are wicked, no matter how fair their appearance, shall be cursed and become ugly. Therefore, Radelk.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“That captain—he is already ugly in conduct. He deserves to become even uglier. Make him so.”
“As you command!”
Radelk pressed his foot down on the man’s skull.
Crack—
He began reshaping the man’s face… just enough to keep him alive.
Crunch, snap, crack—
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The brutality silenced everyone.
The captain screamed in agony, fainting and waking repeatedly, only to faint again from the pain.
At last, Radelk spoke:
“He has become even uglier, my lord.”
“Tsk. His face now matches his character. Throw him into the dungeon. And discard that teapot he touched. It’s filthy.”
“Yes.”
She turned to the soldiers and shouted:
“What are you waiting for? Imprison him!”
“Y-yes, ma’am!”
Two soldiers hurriedly dragged the unconscious captain toward the dungeon.
Then she pointed to a man in the front row—the most handsome one. He had been the first to kneel.
“What is your name?”
“Hatz.”
Though still youthful, his shoulders were well-built and his features sharp. He had the makings of a fine man.
“You are now the captain. If something like this happens again, I will make you the same as him.”
Hatz slammed his head to the ground.
“It will never happen again!”
“Good. Grow well.”
Then she gave her first command.
“Now go. Bring the village chiefs!”
“Yes!”
The soldiers rushed out.
A message appeared.
—Skill created.
[Authority of the Ruler]
Proficiency: D
Infuse power into your voice to subdue subordinates. As proficiency increases, influence, control, and charisma grow stronger.
It started at D rank this time.
“It seems using a skill on many people at once increases proficiency faster,” Radelk observed.
She nodded.
When the last soldier disappeared, she said:
“It’s over.”
“You performed as well as anyone possibly could.”
It was her first time commanding.
She had many flaws—but she was strong.
They hadn’t noticed, but Radelk had.
The resolve of someone with nowhere left to retreat.
He had manipulated the mana and cast the light magic behind her, but that alone would not have been enough.
It was her improvisation that truly subdued them.
“Your speech was remarkable. Did you have experience like this on Earth?”
“…My younger sibling once got involved in a cult, so the whole family had to drag them out…”
“A cult?”
“Mm.”
It was complicated to explain.
More importantly, she was exhausted.
“Sorry… could you carry me?”
Her legs gave out.
“That was quite a task for your first outing, Master.”
He lifted her.
Resting against his chest, she could feel his muscles move.
‘Ah… it feels like my soul is being recharged.’
A handsome man benefited everyone simply by existing.
At least now, she didn’t get nosebleeds anymore.
“You must be tired. I will take you back slowly.”
“Thank you.”
“It is only natural, as your butler.”
Radelk was beautiful, as always.
After that, everything proceeded smoothly.
One village chief brought the entire village with him, just like the former captain.
Another came alone.
There were only two villages, so it wasn’t complicated.
The one who brought everyone—
She had his face “reshaped” again, in front of all.
Crack! Snap! Crunch!
The villagers were forced to watch every moment of the process, from beginning to end.
“Ghk—AAARGH!”
“……”
Some even wet themselves.
But it couldn’t be helped.
Everyone in the territory knew how she had suffered.
And yet, they had all ignored her.
If she was going to establish discipline, she had to root it out completely.
The second chief, having heard what happened, came alone and prostrated himself.
“Hmm. Very well. Then there is no need for further correction.”
She sipped her tea as he trembled.
Radelk silently refilled her cup.
It was still hard to reconcile the same man who crushed faces with his foot… and the one who gently poured tea.
Thus, she successfully subdued both the military and the village chiefs.
—Quest completed. Claim your reward!
—Monthly tax income: 200 gold acquired.
—Troop count increased by 200.
—Territory successfully secured. No one will now defy you.
More messages followed.
—Quest Perfect Clear!
—Reward: Equipment Draw Ticket ×1
Light gathered again.
A ticket appeared before her.
It looked familiar—except this one was white.
“Perfect clear reward?”
“It seems they evaluate how well you complete quests. Perfect completion grants additional rewards.”
High risk, high return.
So this was an equipment gacha.
‘If Radelk is a 5-star legendary hero, then maybe I could get something like a legendary holy sword…’
Still—
‘That damn rabbit…’
Risking her life like this again? No thanks.
—Follow-up quest has arrived.
She tucked away the ticket and opened the next quest.
[Main Quest – Tutorial 3]
Stabilize the territory.
Eliminate corruption among the soldiers, normalize taxation, and establish order and public trust through governance.
Success: Statue of the God of Beauty (Faith expansion bonus)
Failure: Restart from Tutorial 2
Restart from Tutorial 2…
So she would have to risk her life all over again.
And below it—
(Warning: Rewards already obtained cannot be earned again.)
So she would risk her life again… for nothing.
That was unacceptable.
She waved the ticket.
“Let’s draw first.”
What would she get?
Back in her room, she shook the ticket.
A silver rabbit statue appeared.
The only differences were its color—and its ribbon, which was blue this time instead of red.
Its posture was slightly different too.
She placed the ticket down and entered meditation.
There was a term: desire sensor.
Among gacha players, it meant that the game somehow avoided giving you exactly what you wanted.
Of course, phones couldn’t actually read minds.
But somehow… it always felt that way.
So to avoid it, one needed a calm, empty mind.
‘But now… I’ve tasted a 5-star.’
She wanted one.
A 5-star weapon.
If she equipped Radelk with it… how much cooler would he look?
He was already amazing.
She took a deep breath.
‘Stop. Banish these thoughts.’
Greed scattered fortune.
She had to empty her mind.
But once you tasted a 5-star, it was hard to let go.
Radelk quietly set down tea for her.
It smelled even better than before.
She paused meditation to drink.
“I didn’t expect weapons and armor to be gacha too.”
“I suspected as much. There are many lost weapons and armors on this continent. However…”
“What is it?”
“Some armor created by eccentric mages can be… rather revealing.”
Pfft!
She spat out her tea.
“Revealing?”
“Yes. When one spends decades locked in a lab, their tastes can become… unusual. In ancient times, there were armors designed with significant exposure.”
He sketched something on parchment.
‘S-Spartan?’
It looked like something from ancient Greece.
A leather loincloth, a small chest piece, a cape—and that was it.
“So you fight in that?”
“Yes. Surprisingly, it was more effective than steel armor due to magical reinforcement. Though… I never wore one myself.”
At that moment—
Her motivation stat shot upward explosively.
