Taming SSR And UR RANK Superwomen-Chapter 61 — The Domestication of Catherine: From Mistress to Subordinate
Ashley let out a small guttural sound of curiosity.
"Hm..."
Her eyes travelled across the scene before her with interest. She first looked at Thomas, then at Freja. Her gaze lingered a moment longer on the green-haired woman with pink tentacles.
"Well..."
Meanwhile, Thomas stood completely still. He watched her as if he had been left speechless. It was the first time he had seen Ashley wearing that outfit.
Ashley immediately noticed his expression and smiled with amusement.
"Are you enjoying the view?"
Thomas blinked and then let out a small laugh.
"Too much." His eyes travelled over her again. "Why are you dressed like that?"
Ashley pushed her chest out proudly. She placed both hands behind her waist while adopting an elegant posture.
"This is my hero outfit." She winked at him. "I came for a mission, so obviously I wasn’t going to show up in my school uniform."
Ashley’s entire torso was exposed, with only a black top with golden edges covering her breasts. This revealed her slim and athletic abdomen, as well as her collarbones and shoulders. She did not have very defined muscles, so her feminine side stood out more.
She also wore long black sleeves separate from the top, fitted to her arms and tailored to measure, giving her an elegant touch. She covered her head with a wide black hood that draped over her like a veil. It had golden symbols that gave it an arcane or ceremonial appearance.
On the lower half she wore a loose black skirt that fell to her thighs and featured side openings that allowed a glimpse of dark stockings or inner garments. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Ashley radiated elegance and mystery.
That small, warm smile filled with seduction and flirtation never left her face.
Thomas nodded with approval.
"It looks amazing on you."
Ashley smiled with satisfaction. Then she turned her gaze toward Freja.
"I think this is the second time we’ve seen each other."
Freja raised a hand and waved it lightly.
"Hi!" Her tone was extroverted and friendly. "Yeah, we barely had the chance to talk."
"I’ll fill you in," Thomas said.
Ashley crossed her arms as she listened, increasing the size and firmness of her chest. Thomas pointed toward the mansion.
"Our objective is to tame Catherine."
"The owner of this mansion?"
Thomas nodded and briefly explained Seraphine’s situation: the forced labor, the debt already paid, and the abuse. Ashley listened attentively to everything. When he finished, she tilted her head slightly.
"Interesting... so now you grant the whims of your women."
"That wasn’t the reason. Though I won’t completely rule out the idea."
Ashley leaned toward him with a mischievous smile, her eye gleaming with playful mischief.
"If that’s the case... I also have a few options that I’d like to receive a small lesson."
"Me too!" Freja added, raising her hand.
Both of them looked at him, almost as if pressuring him to say yes.
"There are also women who annoy me. If you’re going to help them all... I want you to deal with them too," Freja added.
Thomas raised both hands, showing his palms.
"Hey, hey! Calm down, we’ll go step by step. First we help Seraphine, then we talk about everything else."
◇◆◇
Dirty, icy water poured over Seraphine. The bucket emptied completely over her head. Her black clothes became soaked with soapy water.
Catherine looked at her with fury. Then she grabbed her by the hair and pulled hard.
"You’re useless!" Catherine shouted.
Seraphine let out a groan, since Catherine had grabbed the sensitive spot behind her ear. Catherine began dragging her across the cold marble floor while she cried out in a low tone.
"This is how you clean the floor!" she shouted as she rubbed her harshly against the ground. "Fast and spotless!"
Seraphine tried to support herself with her hands.
"S-stop..."
Her cheek scraped against the marble. Catherine pulled her hair again.
"I’ll use you like a mop to clean my entire house!"
"I’ve... already paid my debt..." she said through clenched teeth.
Catherine let out a laugh full of contempt.
"I decide when you’ve paid."
While her cheek was being rubbed against the marble, the mansion’s doorbell rang. Catherine clicked her tongue with irritation.
"Who the hell is it now?"
Several maids watched the scene in fear as they gathered in a corner of the living room. Catherine looked at them with rage.
"Someone go open the door!"
One of them raised her hand nervously.
"I-I’ll go."
She ran toward the entrance. She opened the door with a polite posture and saw Ashley standing there, smiling elegantly. The maid was enchanted by her appearance.
"Hello," Ashley greeted.
The maid took a moment to react and lowered her head, recognizing her status. Ashley tilted her head slightly to the side.
"I’m sorry about this, my lovely miss."
"Excuse me?"
Ashley extended a hand and gently touched the maid’s forehead. She fell unconscious instantly. Ashley caught her before she hit the ground.
"Easy," she whispered as she lifted her against her chest. "I’ve got you now, my sweet princess." Then she looked back. "You can come in."
Thomas and Freja entered. Both looked around the interior. The mansion was enormous. Everything was spotless, and the scent of cleaning products filled the air.
Ashley walked toward a large white sofa and carefully laid the unconscious maid on it.
"There," she murmured.
Thomas was already walking deeper inside, from where cries of pain were coming.
"Let’s find Seraphine."
When he found her and saw the scene, Thomas frowned. Seraphine was on the floor, soaked and subdued like an animal. Her cheek was red from scraping against the marble.
Catherine still held her by the hair. Thomas clenched his teeth and said:
"Freja, Ashley. Subdue her."
Catherine raised her gaze when she saw them and stood up indignantly.
"What the hell...? Thieves in my mansion!"
Suddenly, she raised a hand. A curtain of purple smoke spread through the hall. The air grew thick, clouding vision. Then a metallic sound rang out: a bell.
Ashley looked around.
"Is that her ability?"
"I don’t know exactly what it does, so be careful," Thomas said.
Freja extended her pink tentacles, completely surrounding Thomas like a wall while speaking to him in a playful tone:
"I’ll keep you safe for a moment. Then I’ll play with you."
Thomas drew an awkward smile on his face and spoke just before disappearing into the darkness:
"Am I a toy now?"
Ashley and Freja stood shoulder to shoulder, staring into the smoke. It was the green-haired woman who sighed while saying:
"We’ll get in trouble if someone finds out about this."
"The maids already saw us. Take care of capturing them, darling."
"All of them?"
"No exceptions."
Freja winked at her and brought the tip of her index finger together with her thumb, forming a circle.
"Yes, captain."
"Good girl," Ashley replied with her usual charisma.
Freja released twelve tentacles that spread through the mansion like pink snakes. They began capturing the maids quickly, unleashing a wave of murmurs, screams, and surprises in different female tones.
Meanwhile, Ashley flew straight toward Catherine. A black and blue energy covered her hands, but before she could reach her, a massive purple serpent shot out from the smoke.
Its jaw opened, revealing immense fangs. Ashley stopped in the air and twisted her body, barely avoiding the bite.
"That was close..."
The head buried itself in the ground, sinking as if it were water. Before she could marvel at her power, Ashley felt a drop slide across her cheek. She touched it, noticing a small cut.
"It damaged my perfect skin. Do you know how much I take care of my face?"
The serpent emerged from below as if the floor were water and launched another bite, but this time Ashley moved her arm like a whip and a clean slash cut through the air.
The serpent’s head fell to the floor, spinning while blood spilled across the marble.
"But something this basic... isn’t even worthy of the soles of my feet."
Catherine opened her eyes in surprise. Ashley appeared in front of her in an instant. Catherine barely had time to react when Ashley raised her hand and delivered a strong slap across her cheek, the sound ringing elegantly.
"Calm down now, naughty bitch," she said in a gentle tone.
Catherine’s body was sent flying. She crashed into a wall and let out a groan along with her breath. She fell sitting down, furious.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" she muttered through clenched teeth, while a lock of her hair fell across her face.
Ashley looked at her with absolute confidence.
"No one in particular. Just..."
She raised both hands to her sides and tilted her hip slightly to one side, displaying her figure with an elegant and confident pose.
"The next most impressive hero in the world."
Seraphine slightly lifted her head from the floor.
"You are...," she murmured.
Ashley looked at her over her shoulder and answered in a calm tone:
"Your captain. Right now I’m only defending what belongs to me."
She flew toward Catherine again. Small portals appeared around them and dozens of chains emerged, wrapping around Catherine.
Arms, legs, torso, and even her mouth. She was completely immobilized. The purple smoke began to dissipate. Ashley exhaled calmly and looked toward Freja with a confident smile.
"Done. I can still make it back to university."
Freja released the tentacles that were covering Thomas.
"Thanks," he said before stepping out.
Then he approached Seraphine. She was on her knees, rubbing her cheek. Thomas leaned down and asked, carefully bringing his fingers close to her face, but he did not touch her.
"Do you need help?"
Seraphine shook her head.
"No, master. I’m already used to this treatment," she said calmly. Then she looked at Catherine and continued: "Will you tame her now?"
"Yes, as we agreed."
Seraphine slightly lowered her head and stared at Catherine.
"Then... I want her to become my subordinate."
