Chapter 218: Caught
“Don’t be so agitated. I’m not going to eat you.” Kailun stood across the stream, his smile unwavering.
He sensed that Ottovia’s strength had dropped to the sixth rank, reaching a limit.
Kailun was curious if she could still cast high-level magic.
In fact, the decline in Ottovia’s strength was also a form of weakening for him. Both his and Afra’s total attributes had decreased significantly.
But considering the threat Ottovia posed, Kailun chose the safest approach.
Ottovia: “…”
She knew without a doubt that the marks on her face and chest were left by Kailun in Kuye Town. He hadn’t just violated her; he had planned his next move in advance.
What was even more infuriating was that he hadn’t shown any reaction after discovering them. Instead, he had continued to defile her while leaving more marks. He was utterly vicious.
She could swear that Kailun was the most despicable person she had ever met, bar none.
Now, with so many marks on her body, it would take at least seven or eight minutes to remove them.
Was he expecting her to let him touch her for another seven or eight minutes just to remove the marks?
No way. If she did that, her entire body would be covered in his marks.
Even the experienced Ottovia couldn’t understand Kailun’s method. It was a very special kind of mark.
She glared at Kailun resentfully.
[Ottovia’s Goodwill -1, Total Goodwill -86]
“It seems there are many misunderstandings between us. Can we have a proper talk now?”
Kailun leaped lightly across the stream and stood in front of Ottovia.
“Don’t come any closer!”
She shouted, the tally marks on her body radiating intense heat. Not only did it burn, but it also made her body feel strange, especially the two marks on her chest that had coincidentally landed on sensitive areas.
As Kailun approached, the strange sensation intensified, as if it was going to burn away her sanity.
But she still had the strength of a sixth-rank mage. This heat shouldn’t be able to harm her.
“You look uncomfortable, as if you have too much fire in your body.”
Kailun took two more steps and crouched beside Ottovia. “You’re in luck. I’m an expert at reducing ‘fire.’ Afra and Carol have tried it and said it works wonders. Trust my skills. After my treatment, you’ll definitely have a good sleep.”
His voice was laced with a hypnotic quality as he deliberately used his mental contamination ability.
But unfortunately, his mental contamination had little effect on Ottovia.
“You’ll regret this! Ten thousand years from now, I’ll dig up your bones and make a chair out of them!”
Ottovia glared at Kailun with what she thought was a fierce look. She activated a self-destruction spell, intending to hibernate for another ten thousand years.
Compared to falling into Kailun’s hands and being toyed with both physically and mentally, she would rather face Fate at her full power.
No matter what, she still cared about her purity. If she fell into this demon’s hands, it wouldn’t just be a matter of him touching her face and chest.
However, the magic she desperately activated didn’t respond. It felt like her mana was being blocked.
“How?!” She looked at Kailun in shock.
Kailun showed her the magic circle rotating in his palm. “Don’t worry, I just don’t want to see a beautiful life disappear before my eyes.”
Ottovia: “Who taught you that?”
“Self-taught. Didn’t you carve those magic circles on the walls of the tomb?” Kailun shrugged.
He had thoroughly studied the magic on the walls and could now cast it proficiently.
This was the benefit of having high mental power. No one could surpass him in terms of learning ability when his mental power was maxed out.
“No, it hasn’t even been a month.” Ottovia shook her head. Could he really learn this magic in less than a month?
She could barely do it herself, but how could Kailun?
She didn’t know that Kailun had only needed a few nights to learn these spells.
“That’s my business. To celebrate your new life, can you bark for me?”
Kailun suddenly took out a slave collar.
“!!!”
Ottovia’s eyes widened. Not only did this demon want her to bark like a dog, but he also intended to restrict her freedom with a slave collar.
What a humiliation!
She had lived for so many years and had never suffered such an insult.
“You bast… Ah~” Ottovia opened her mouth wide, wanting to unleash a torrent of insults at Kailun.
But before she could utter a word, he knocked her unconscious with a flick of his finger.
“You still want to curse me? I’ll personally turn you into a weakling when we get back.” Kailun picked up Ottovia and slung her over his shoulder, chuckling as he looked at the bag in her hand.
Until the very end, she hadn’t doubted the potion. It seemed Rose had gained her trust.
Good, good. He would reward Rose properly later.
Kailun patted Ottovia’s butt, dispelling the heat from the marks. With a flash of white light, he disappeared.
……
“Take care of yourself.”
Afra left the dungeon after talking to Rose for a while.
She didn’t say much. Kailun would handle this matter himself. He enjoyed bullying girls.
His personality was terrible, but she had gotten used to it. She could tolerate all his flaws and was willing to do anything for him.
She wouldn’t question him even if he played with innocent girls, let alone enemies.
This was a deep-seated affection, a blind devotion that didn’t care about right or wrong.
Rose: “…”
She looked at Afra’s retreating figure and sat down on the ground dejectedly. The clean and tidy floor didn’t stain her dress.
She had failed. She had actually failed.
Thinking back, there were many problems, as if Kailun had deliberately let her go.
She had been manipulated into becoming his bait, luring in a big fish whose name she didn’t even know.
Rose: “…”
The thought made her feel even worse. Failure wasn’t scary. What was scary was that her failure was orchestrated by someone else.
“Clank!”
After an unknown amount of time, Rose heard the sound of the door opening.
Looking up, she saw Kailun walking in, carrying a girl on his shoulder. If she wasn’t mistaken, the girl was the one she had made the deal with.
It seemed Kailun had successfully caught his fish.
Rose watched as Kailun placed the girl on the bed in the opposite room, taking off her coat and shoes. She thought he was going to do something bad, but he simply covered the girl with a blanket.
After doing that, he took the bag, left the room, and locked the door.
“Miss Rose, you seem disappointed. Were you expecting me to bully her?”
Kailun tossed the bag filled with Unlucky Flowers outside the door.
“No.” Rose denied coldly.
“Don’t look so disappointed. I can bully you too.” Kailun reached into the room and patted Rose’s head.
“Thank you so much. So what are you going to do?” Rose asked self-deprecatingly. “Are you going to take my purity now, or continue to humiliate me?”
Kailun shook his head. “It seems you have a deep misunderstanding of me. But I still have to thank you. If it weren’t for you, Ottovia wouldn’t have taken the bait so easily. As for eating uncooked ingredients? Sorry, I’d rather wait.”
“Your taste for amusement is truly unlikeable.”
Rose pushed away his hand and walked towards the bed. “If you’re not going to do anything, then don’t disturb my rest. But if you change your mind, you can come in anytime. I’ll just lie here and do nothing.”
After saying that, Rose lay down on the bed and closed her eyes tightly, her hands clenched together.
Kailun chuckled. He didn’t intend to expose her pretense. Compared to simple lust, he wanted to see more interesting expressions.
“Rest well. I’ll come see you tomorrow. Good night.”
After bidding her goodnight, Kailun left the dungeon.
Hearing his footsteps fade away, Rose let out a long sigh of relief. Her forehead was covered in sweat.
If possible, she wanted to hold out a little longer. She didn’t want to submit to Kailun so easily.
She was the Queen of the Rose Kingdom. She had her pride.
……
“The teleportation magic circle is complete. The magic circle to suppress him is also complete. Most of the ninth-rank mages have gathered in Alaye. As long as Kailun dares to come, he won’t be able to leave.”
“He should be coming tomorrow, right?”
“He should, right?”
“He will.”
The Pope, alone in her room, muttered to herself as she plucked petals from a flower.
The special teleportation magic circle was complete. She had invested over three million gold coins in its construction, a significant expense.
But as long as she could capture Kailun, it was all worth it.
Because of him, the Temple of the Celestial God was divided. Because of him, Chrissy had become a heartless girl. Because of him, she had lost everything.
She hated Kailun, hated him to the core.
However, according to the contract, she couldn’t personally harm him for a month, so she could only rely on others.
She had informed Kailun that the teleportation magic circle was ready, and he had replied that he would be coming tomorrow.
But she could sense a hidden meaning in his words: “I’m not coming.”
However, to be safe, she had to make preparations in advance. Not only did she have to keep an eye on Helena, but she also had to station her main forces near the teleportation magic circle.
This was a golden opportunity for the Pope.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
“Your Holiness, the Empress invites you to attend her gathering. What are your plans?”
The Pope heard a maid knocking on her door.
“Tell her I’m not coming.”
She replied in her neutral voice.
The maid’s voice was hesitant. “Are you sure you want to decline? You’ve already declined Her Majesty’s invitation twice. She said this is the last chance.”
Pope: “I said I’m not coming. Didn’t you hear me?”
