“You did well today; I knew my dear wouldn’t disappoint me! The command was quite decent. Unfortunately, you’re still very weak; even that little attack required me to personally help you erase the trouble.”
Seraphina instantly understood how the attack coming directly from the mine pit had suddenly disappeared, and the humiliation in her heart rose another level, “I don’t need your help!”
“Whether you need it or not isn’t up to you.” Suddenly, Movira’s palm touched Seraphina’s lower abdomen for the first time, emitting a heat distinctly different from the surroundings.
“How does it feel? To punish your little cleverness this time, what I just fed you was an increased dose! Soon, that last unnecessary thing on your body will completely disappear! Of course, when the time comes, I’ll also help strengthen the frail parts of you.”
Seraphina suddenly curled up, only wanting to escape Movira’s touch, but was held even tighter by the other.
“Don’t touch me! Get away!” She struggled futilely, her voice carrying a crying tone she didn’t want to emit.
“Stop fussing.” The other’s voice suddenly lowered in her ear, “Obediently take every dose of medicine on time. If you dare waste it again… the next way I feed you won’t just be with my mouth. Perhaps… I’ll have your little maid hold a small spoon and feed you! How about that?”
The struggle in her arms instantly stopped; Seraphina looked at Movira in horror, her body slightly trembling under the dual effects of the medicine and fear.
In front of this demon, all her resistance seemed pale and powerless.
Movira satisfactorily watched Seraphina being forced to behave, lowered her head, and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead, “Alright, you’re already very tired; sleep well.”
She made a gesture to get up, but in the instant Seraphina slightly relaxed her vigilance, she suddenly leaned down again, precisely capturing those lips that were slightly open due to shock.
“Mmm——?!”
“Don’t cry out; you don’t want Lina to hear, right.” Movira lifted her head, warning Seraphina in an extremely short time, then quickly launched another offensive.
Seraphina’s breathing, which had just calmed a little, was disrupted again; all she could do was reach out and pound madly on Movira’s back to show her strong dissatisfaction.
But this was ultimately futile; her brain was gradually being invaded by chaos, and the frequency of her pounding also slowly decreased.
The domineering tip of the lips swept over every corner of Seraphina’s mouth, with such force that Seraphina felt the illusion that her lips were being rubbed raw.
How long did this kiss last? Seraphina had already lost the concept of time, and under the effect of the medicine, she could only feel Movira’s breath completely enveloping her.
“This is your punishment, and also…”
The other’s breathing was also somewhat disordered, but her eyes were even deeper; she gently wiped Seraphina’s moist lips with her thumb, leaving an ambiguous water mark.
“Goodnight kiss…”
After saying that, she no longer lingered, disappearing silently into the shadows at the door like a phantom in the dark night.
The room returned to dead silence, only Seraphina’s broken and rapid gasps.
She collapsed on the bed, her lips numb and painful, clearly reminding her of everything that had just happened.
She buried her burning face deep into the pillow, not daring to emit even a single complaint or whimper, afraid of disturbing Lina who was close at hand.
She could only let silent tears soak the fabric…
Movira’s scent seemed to still linger at the tip of her nose, the repeatedly ravaged sensation on her lips, and the spot on her face with a slight stinging trace, all silently recounting the humiliation just now.
Seraphina almost kept her eyes open until dawn.
She clearly felt very sleepy and tired, yet couldn’t fall asleep at all; every time she closed her eyes, Movira’s smiling dark eyes and that domineering kiss that suffocated her would clearly emerge in her mind.
Moreover, the medicine with an even higher concentration had quietly begun to take effect, the hot and empty feelings缠绕ing her like vines, making her toss and turn.
Lina indeed didn’t wake up, but in Seraphina’s heart, she kept imagining her waking up and seeing…
She didn’t even dare to imagine what kind of scene that would be.
It wasn’t until a trace of fish-belly white appeared in the eastern sky outside the window that Seraphina exhaustedly propped herself up.
Her whole body ached as if it had been crushed by a grindstone, especially her head, which was terribly heavy.
She forced herself to walk to the mirror that was blurry in her eyes, splashing her cheeks with ice-cold water, yet not daring to use too much force… trying to drive away the obvious haggardness.
In the mirror, her face was pale to a frightening degree, with thick shadows under her eyes.
However, what was even more piercing was on the side of her neck, at the edge barely covered by her collar, an ambiguous, dark red mark was prominently visible!
Like a silent brand, once again reminding Seraphina of last night’s entanglement…
Her heart trembled, her fingers shaking as they touched that trace…
“Damn… it won’t wipe off…”
She hurriedly pulled at her collar, but its position seemed deliberately arranged; no matter how she adjusted, nearly half of the mark was faintly visible.
“Damn Movira!” She cursed in a low voice that even she could barely hear, a panic with nowhere to hide surging up.
When Lina came in as usual carrying breakfast, Seraphina had her back to her, pretending to tidy the bed.
The already very neat bedsheet, Seraphina still smoothed it over and over with her hand.
“Um… Seraphina, it’s time for breakfast.” Lina’s voice carried a hint of just-woken hoarseness.
“Okay… just put it there.” Seraphina didn’t turn around, her deliberately steady voice unable to hide that weariness.
Lina did so, and it was no different from usual, except…
Her gaze involuntarily and precisely fell on Seraphina’s neck; perhaps it was indeed too eye-catching.
Such a mark, Lina immediately understood a little.
But looking across the entire Demon Realm, the one who could do this… she thought of that Demon King…
She quickly lowered her eyes, pretending to see nothing, but that moment of silence and the micro-expression on her face still couldn’t escape Seraphina’s highly tense peripheral vision.
Seraphina’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated, a wave of heat instantly surging to her face.
She knows! She definitely guessed it!
The intense shame made her nearly explode on the spot, yet she was helpless; she could only clench her fists tightly, using the pain of her nails digging into her palms to maintain surface calm.
At this moment, the door was gently knocked, and a soldier’s voice came in, “Your Highness, Her Majesty has personally arrived at the outpost; please proceed immediately to the outpost gate.”
So what was coming has still come?
Seraphina took a deep breath, suppressing all the chaotic emotions; after last night’s amorous encounter, she didn’t know how to face Movira…
