Chapter 198: Become My Slave
How much strength does a mere Sirus possess? He clearly has no idea. Yet this guy had the audacity to claim he eliminated the invincible Lord Frieza. Celipa couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity.
Even if you wanted to brag, there should be a limit. Did this guy really think she was a fool?
What a joke!!!
"I knew you wouldn't believe me. If you did, you wouldn't be Celipa."
"But facts are facts. Since you don't believe me, let me show you."
Yuujin snapped his fingers, then headed toward the engine room of the Frieza ship with Launch and the other women following behind him.
As the biological power source for the entire warship, Frieza's remains were stored in the engine room. Celipa's reaction when she saw it was bound to be priceless, and Yuujin eagerly anticipated it.
"Come on, don't waste your time fantasizing about escape."
Two red-silk girls released Celipa, smirking as they did so.
With a cold snort, Celipa rubbed her arms and followed, curious to uncover what trick Sirus was up to.
Unhindered, the group quickly arrived at the ship's engine room.
Several female technicians were performing maintenance tasks inside. Upon seeing Yuujin and his party, they hastily saluted and stepped aside.
"Look, Celipa. That's the invincible Lord Frieza you admired so much."
"After losing to us, I had his remains collected and repurposed as a biological power source. Most of this ship's energy comes from him—it's incredibly efficient."
Pointing at Frieza's remains, Yuujin smiled smugly. Celipa, meanwhile, stood there, her eyes wide with shock, utterly dazed.
The Saiyans once served Frieza as a race. Naturally, Celipa recognized him. Despite the difference in appearance, she was certain it was Lord Frieza.
But how could this be possible?!
"This… this is impossible… impossible…"
As though her faith had been shattered, Celipa collapsed onto the ground.
Could everything Sirus said be true?
Lord Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta, killing Toma and the others. All her comrades were gone.
Yet this tail-less weakling, Sirus, defeated Lord Frieza?!
What had happened while she was asleep?!
Celipa couldn't comprehend it. She was utterly lost in confusion.
Not lingering in the engine room for long, Yuujin led the group back to the command room. Celipa, still in a daze, was dragged along by two red-silk girls.
"Celipa, do you understand now? Still think I ambushed you back then?"
"When Frieza decided to destroy Planet Vegeta, if it weren't for the fact that you were my foster mother and once saved my life, do you think I would've cared whether you lived or died?"
Sitting back in the captain's chair, Yuujin's tone carried a hint of mockery.
"So that's the truth…"
Thrown roughly to the ground by the battle maidens, Celipa didn't show her previous anger. Instead, she got up herself, a complicated expression on her face.
It turned out that what Sirus did back then was really to save her. Without him, she would've perished along with the other Saiyans at Frieza's hands!
"How did you know Frieza was going to destroy Planet Vegeta? Why didn't you warn the others?"
Celipa looked at Yuujin, her tone now devoid of anger or hostility.
"How I knew is my business. I don't need to explain to you."
"As for telling the others, even you didn't believe me back then. What makes you think they would?"
Yuujin's words were dripping with sarcasm, leaving Celipa speechless.
Indeed, if even she hadn't believed him, how could anyone else have? If Sirus had warned them, they would've dismissed him as crazy—or worse, given him trouble for it.
"Let's leave the past behind. Let me introduce our remaining comrades."
"Goku, come over here."
"Okay!"
At Yuujin's call, Goku, who had been standing with Chi-Chi, bounced over energetically.
"Her name is Son Goku, and like us, she's one of the surviving Saiyans."
"But I gave her that name. Her Saiyan name is Kakarot."
"Kakarot…"
Celipa's gaze landed on Goku, a flicker of recognition in her eyes.
"Figured it out, huh?"
"That's right. Mai is your comrade Bardock's daughter. When Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta, I took her with me. She's now one of my wives."
Yuujin's words surprised Celipa, but she didn't doubt them. Goku bore a striking resemblance to Bardock.
"And the other one—"
Yuujin smirked and pulled Vegeta into his embrace.
Despite her struggles and fiery glare, Vegeta couldn't break free, her face gripped tightly by Yuujin.
"The noble princess, the true prodigy of the Saiyans. Surely, I don't need to introduce her, right?"
Yuujin's mocking tone left Celipa stunned:
"Pr-Princess Vegeta?!"
Though her appearance had changed, Yuujin's words made it impossible for Celipa not to recognize her.
"It's her indeed, our princess."
"But now, she's merely my subordinate. No, calling her a slave would be more fitting."
Caressing Vegeta's beautiful face, Yuujin's devilish smile deepened as Celipa looked on, utterly dumbfounded.
Sirus claimed the once-proud Princess Vegeta as his subordinate—a slave, even?
The prodigious princess, reduced to this by the so-called weakling?
Celipa could barely process it all.
"Princess Vegeta, is this… true?"
Almost reflexively, Celipa asked, her voice trembling.
"Do you not have eyes?"
Vegeta shot Celipa a cold glare.
Though humiliated and furious, she was bound by her agreement with Sirus. Until she defeated him and reclaimed her freedom, she was his subordinate—his slave.
She was weak. She had no excuse.
Speechless, Celipa stared at the ground. What had happened during her decades of slumber? How had the world changed so drastically?
Smiling faintly, Yuujin approached the bewildered Celipa.
"Shocked, aren't you, my dear foster mother?"
"The once-useless boy defeated the invincible Frieza, claimed the genius Princess Vegeta as his slave."
"But now, you should worry about yourself."
Yuujin's smile turned domineering as Celipa instinctively stepped back.
"What… what do you want?"
"Relax, I won't hurt you."
"Planet Vegeta is gone. The Saiyan race is nearly extinct. Every survivor is precious."
"Celipa, become my subordinate, my slave, and serve me!"
Yuujin's command was resolute, and Celipa's anger surged.
But before she could respond, Yuujin unleashed a powerful aura that pinned her to the ground.
Crouching down, he lifted her chin, his voice chilling:
"Don't refuse."
"Because you don't have the right to."
