The tiny bit of accomplishment she had just achieved was shattered into pieces at this moment.
If… Movira were here, what meaning would the soldiers’ sacrifices have?
Seraphina secretly clenched the cold railing of the watchtower, a deep sense of powerless humiliation drowning her.
The battlefield had entered the final cleanup phase; even though there were still casualties, in the face of the results achieved… it was still acceptable.
The soldiers’ cheers began to rise sporadically, signaling that this sudden battle was about to be declared over.
But Seraphina gradually felt no joy; she stood there in a daze, her slender figure appearing very lonely under the increasingly bright firelight…
The battle was over, and exhaustion swept over her body like a tide; Seraphina almost dragged her steps back to the room.
Lina quickly prepared warm water, looking at her pale face, wanting to speak but stopping herself.
Due to the suddenness of the battle, it was still the middle of the night.
“You were… very amazing just now.” Before sleeping, Lina turned her back to her and suddenly said this in a low voice.
Seraphina’s action of curling up on the bed paused for a moment, a complex glint flashing in her eyes.
Amazing? It was just a game completely controlled by Movira from the shadows…
She responded vaguely with a sound, buried her face into the pillow, unwilling to say more.
The physical exhaustion ultimately overcame the chaos in her heart, and she soon fell asleep.
However… she slept very lightly, her brows still tightly furrowed, as if she had dreamed of something.
In the dead of night, the embers in the fireplace occasionally burst out with one or two sparks.
A slender black shadow emerged from the darkness, silently standing in front of Seraphina’s bed.
Movira looked down at the figure curled up into a ball on the bed, her fingertips holding a small glass bottle, shaking the ghostly blue liquid inside.
“My dear~ you’re really not obedient!” The corners of her lips curled into a lazy yet dangerous arc.
Her voice was so low it seemed only she could hear it.
“Did you think that by pouring it out, I wouldn’t have a way?”
A few days ago, Seraphina’s actions had been completely seen by Movira; she didn’t have even the slightest bit of perception, and even when Movira took it right in front of her, she was completely unaware.
And the bottle in Movira’s hand was, of course, the result of magically re-extracting and purifying it from that bottle.
Even to punish Seraphina’s willful behavior, the concentration was higher than the original.
Movira leaned down, her long hair cascading like a waterfall, a few strands brushing across Seraphina’s cheeks.
Seraphina in her sleep unconsciously frowned, letting out faint murmurs, as if resisting this familiar, heart-palpitating scent.
“Sleeping like a little cat…” Movira glanced at the constantly furrowed brows and added, “A… restless little cat, waiting for its owner’s comfort?”
The figure on the bed shrank further into the blanket, seeking insignificant shelter.
Her fingertip gently pried open Seraphina’s lips, which were tightly closed due to tension, while her other hand brought the bottle close to her own lips, taking all the medicine into her mouth.
Then she lowered her head, precisely covering those soft yet cold lips, with an undeniable dominance, passing all the medicine in her mouth over.
The ghostly blue liquid was forced to surge in; Seraphina’s throat in her sleep instinctively rolled with difficulty, swallowing this disgusting yet unavoidable thing.
However, the strange sensation of the medicine sliding down her esophagus was too cold, coupled with the undeniable warmth on her lips that seemed hot enough to burn.
Seraphina’s eyelashes began to tremble violently, her hazy consciousness being pulled back to reality bit by bit by this stimulation.
Her eyes instantly opened, like a blooming violet, her pupils contracting sharply due to shock.
What enlarged before her eyes was Movira’s stunningly beautiful face, which in her eyes was like a nightmare, and she could even clearly see the other’s long eyelashes!
“Woo——!” Immediately after, the sensation on her lips was activated; she instinctively wanted to struggle, to cry out, to push away the person pressing on her.
But Movira’s arms were like iron clamps, firmly fixing her between the bed and herself.
What terrified her even more was that Movira did not let go after completing the act of passing the medicine but instead deepened this action!
The suffocating feeling mixed with the physical sensation of the medicine, as well as the dominant aura belonging to Movira that she was passively enduring between her lips and teeth.
This sudden scene left Seraphina’s mind blank; she futilely pushed at Movira’s shoulders with her hands, her legs kicking chaotically under the blanket, yet unable to move the other even a bit.
In her ears were her own rapid heartbeat and the faint, embarrassing sounds produced by the entanglement between their lips and teeth that made her face flush red.
She could feel that Lina was sleeping on the mat just a few steps away from her, which made her so ashamed she almost fainted; if Lina suddenly woke up…
As this sensation grew stronger, Movira finally released her.
“Haah… haah…” She gasped heavily like someone saved from drowning, her chest heaving violently, her cheeks flushed red from shame, and even tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
Yet she tried to suppress the amplitude of her movements to avoid waking Lina.
She was shocked and angry, her voice trembling terribly, her eyes staring fixedly at Movira, “You… you’re crazy?! Lina is still… you, how dare you…”
“Shh—” Movira extended a finger, gently pressing it against Seraphina’s swollen lips, stopping her subsequent words.
Her satisfied gaze seemed to reflect a Movira who had just tasted a delicious dessert.
“Lower your voice, Your Highness Seraphina. If you wake your maid and let her see us being so intimate… wouldn’t you be utterly embarrassed?”
“Intimate?” Seraphina still lowered her voice again, almost gritting her teeth as she said, “This is forc…”
“Forc what?” Movira interrupted her, her fingertip sliding gently down Seraphina’s neck, passing over her delicate collarbone, then to her slender waist… and stopped.
Yet it still caused Seraphina an unbearable shiver, making her exhausted body even more limp.
“I’m just ensuring that a disobedient and willful child takes her medicine on time. Did you think that by pouring out the medicine, I wouldn’t know? Hm?”
Seraphina’s entire body stiffened, the bit of luck in her heart completely shattered, “You… you knew?!”
“Of course.” Movira’s cheek came to Seraphina’s ear, her exhaled breath spraying on her earlobe, “I said I would check you, check if you took the medicine, check if you tried to escape, check your… everything!”
“Heh.” After another light laugh, she gradually withdrew her actions, sitting upright on the edge of the bed.
