Surrender to the Goddess

The Queen whom her people worship as a Goddess demands total submission from their defeated enemies as a condition of allowing them to live. One last king from a neighboring tribe refused and she put him to merciless torture and starvation until he looked as emaciated as a street beggar until he finally had no choice but to give in as well. All the nobles are watching as this once mighty king meekly crawls on his hands and knees through her temple and kisses her feet as a symbol of total submission. Now her rule is absolute.
