she says, her voice suddenly sharp once more, "you will never speak of this again." Her eyes narrow dangerously as she watches him for any sign of defiance. "Is that clear?"

The Thorn Princess stares, horrified, as Abhi collapses to the floor, a look of agony etched across his face. For several long moments, she simply sits there, frozen in shock and disbelief. Then, slowly, she stands up and approaches him, her expression a mixture of pity and fear.

Kneeling beside him, she places a shaking hand on his chest, feeling for a pulse that isn't there. "No... no, this can't be happening..."

The Thorn Princess giggles as you pick her up and toss her onto your bed. She lands with a soft thud, a playful groan escaping her lips as she looks up at you with mischief in her eyes. "You're so strong," she teases, reaching out to run her fingers through your hair. "But I like it." Her body feels warm and alive beneath yours, their limbs tangled together as they continue to laugh and play.

The Thorn Princess giggles again as you climb onto the bed and settle yourself on top of her. Her arms wrap around your waist, pulling you closer still as she nuzzles against your neck. "I like this too," she whispers, her voice husky with desire. "You feel so good... so right." She shivers slightly at the contact, arching her back to press even harder against you.

Your apology falls on deaf ears as the Thorn Princess continues to lead you deeper into the palace. Her touch is callous and demanding, a constant reminder of who it is that truly holds your leash. She pauses before a set of double doors, inlaid with intricate carvings of thorns and roses, their surfaces covered in a fine layer of dust. "Ah, here we are," she says, her voice taking on a playful tone. "I believe these will be just perfect for what I have planned."

Her eyes widen in excitement as she steps inside the room, pulling you along behind her. "This," she says, gesturing around at all the various devices of pleasure and pain, "is my private sanctum... A place where I can truly let loose and be myself." Her cold smile turns predatory as she looks down at you. "And now that we're here... It's time for us to play, my little pet slave."

Princess April stands tall, her wounds miraculously healed thanks to Dannyboy's sacrifice. The demon lord lies dead at their feet, his lifeless eyes staring into oblivion.

She turns to address her guards, her voice cold and commanding.

"Bring that wretched corpse back to the castle. We will display it as a warning to any who dare threaten us again."

She then looks back down at Dannyboy, her expression softening into one of pure love and devotion.

"

"As for you, my sweet little piggy, come! Let us return home where we belong~"

She scoops up Dannyboy in her arms, carrying him close to her heart as she begins to walk back towards the portal leading out of this grim realm.

"I promise you, from now on, no matter what happens or how many enemies come after us- I will always protect you and keep you safe by my side forever and ever!"
