Chap 25-That’s a bit…

 

For some reason, the day felt more refreshing than usual.

The first thing Elise saw upon opening her eyes was Yeon, sprawled on the bed, barely breathing.

Elise’s eyebrows twitched slightly at the sight of Yeon, limp on the bed and drowning in exhaustion.

“Haa… Why do you look more tired than I do? I was the one who suffered cleaning, clearly.”

Elise muttered at Yeon with a mix of annoyance.

But Yeon didn’t move, just mumbled from inside the blanket.

“Shut up and get lost.”

Elise was momentarily speechless at the unkind and heartless voice, then sighed.

Sharing a room with this woman was the worst.

But Elise wasn’t in a position to treat her carelessly right now.

“Aren’t you going to class? It’s almost time to start.”

Yeon, still with her eyes closed, spoke in a very languid and annoyed tone.

“I’m skipping.”

Elise shook her head.

‘How on earth did she pass the academy’s infamous personality test?’

It still didn’t make sense that a woman with such a twisted personality, who threatened people, had passed.

Elise wasn’t exactly known for her good nature either, but looking at Yeon made her fundamentally question the criteria of the personality test.

Elise shook her head with a short sigh, trying to shake off her thoughts.

There was no point in worrying about it now.

Elise no longer felt like dealing with her.

She got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.

Just as she was about to wash her face with cold water, her eyes fixed on the drain.

There was a small but distinct bloodstain.

Elise’s expression hardened coldly.

She slowly turned her gaze back to Yeon, who was slumped in the room.

What had happened while she was sleeping?

“This is… blood?”

Elise frowned and carefully observed the stain.

It definitely hadn’t been there last night.

“Could it be… did she do something weird while she was sleeping?”

A deep suspicion began to settle in Elise’s eyes.

…

Doesn’t everyone have that kind of experience?

Um…

So…

I tended to repeatedly watch only what I liked.

If it didn’t suit my taste, I wouldn’t find it fun, you could say?

But eventually, if you keep seeing the same thing, you get tired of it.

But imagine one day you accidentally discover something that perfectly matches your taste, and even the content is fresh and special.

It’s like always looking at similar scenery, and then suddenly encountering a beautiful landscape of a completely new world.

That’s right.

It’s a story about scenery.

A pure scenery story.

Anyway…

The emotion and excitement of that moment are so intense that for a while, nothing else will catch your eye.

The Curse Elise was afflicted with was more powerful than I thought.

Enough to refill all night long.

Fortunately… no, unfortunately, Elise’s Curse didn’t completely disappear.

Still, as I kept touching her and getting Cursed, I could feel it gradually weakening.

I had no choice… hehe.

I really had no choice but to stick close to her and keep alleviating the Curse.

Of course, it’s for Elise’s sake.

There’s no other meaning.

‘Haa… I shouldn’t have gone that far.’

The feeling of my brain throbbing and breaking down was so good…

I couldn’t resist and went to the bathroom to ‘train.’

Thanks to that, I had a very hard time quietly cleaning up the blood-soaked bathroom without Elise waking up.

I skipped the morning class and slept soundly, but the fatigue in my body still didn’t go away.

‘I wish I could turn fatigue into pleasure…’

I skipped lunch and entered the classroom to prepare for the afternoon class, and the miserable state of my desk caught my eye.

The desk was stained with all sorts of filth and trash, and insulting words were scribbled haphazardly on the surface.

‘Slut who sucks Magical Beasts.’

‘Whore.’

‘Please just die.’

‘Even you breathing is disgusting.’

Um…

‘Is that all you can write?’

A little disappointing.

In this situation, my heart should be racing like crazy, my whole body should be burning hot, and I should be overwhelmed with ecstasy…

Somehow, today that sensation was too weak.

‘Haa… Something’s missing.’

I remembered the moment last night when my body was forcibly controlled by the Curse.

That thrilling sense of powerlessness when I was swayed against my will.

The extreme pleasure of having my mind and body forcibly broken.

Compared to that, these insults were so trivial.

Perhaps because I had tasted that sweet sensation, this ordinary bullying felt endlessly bland and pathetic.

I heard scornful laughter directed at me from around.

“Hey, look at her. She’s blankly frozen, out of it.”

“Disgusting. Why do we have to have someone like that in the academy?”

Even their taunts didn’t register properly in my ears today.

Then, the classroom door was thrown open roughly, and the students of Camilla’s faction, who had bullied me before, stood in front of me.

“Yeon Bennet, Lady Camilla is looking for you.”

Their hands grabbed me roughly, like a criminal.

The touch wasn’t bad, but…

Even as I was dragged away without any resistance, my mind kept recalling the sensation of last night.

‘I’ll be expecting you, Camilla.’

…

I was dragged along by Camilla’s followers and met her face.

Camilla gave a faint smile when she saw my haggard appearance.

Seeing her expression, my heart began to pound with anticipation.

Hair of vivid red, like a red rose, flowed elegantly over her shoulders.

Ruby-like red eyes always shone beautifully, and behind her slender and beautiful face, a colder energy than anyone else flowed quietly.

Not the way she used to ignore me with a cold gaze, but the arrogant attitude of smiling with a sense of superiority, like now.

My twisted tendencies reacted happily as if I had been waiting for all these humiliating moments.

“Long time no see, Yeon. Has anything happened?”

Cunning mockery and contempt hidden in her affectionate voice.

The followers around her also understood Camilla’s intentions and subtly ridiculed me.

It was a little lacking.

I deliberately glared at her fiercely.

As if I truly hated her.

“You don’t look so good. Has it been a little hard on you?”

Camilla looked down at me, pretending to be worried.

“It’s none of your business.”

My lips spat out cold words, but my heart was already filled with anticipation for her next actions and words.

Camilla looked down at me with a noble smile.

The smile was clearly disguised as goodwill, but it contained clear contempt and disgust.

“If you obediently listen to my request, I won’t bully you anymore.”

She came a little closer and lowered her voice as if making a secret offer.

“No, beyond that, I can even make it so that no one can touch you, like before.”

Then Camilla slowly sat down on a chair and held out her smooth, snow-white bare feet in front of me.

She wiggled the tips of her toes and continued with a mocking tone.

“First, lick my feet and act cute. If you act cute with that pretty face, I might feel like helping you.”

In that moment, my heart started beating like crazy.

‘This is it!’

The Camilla I had been expecting.

A sadist character who clearly stood on the side of justice, but mercilessly threw her enemies into hell.

“Honestly, it seems like a loss for my noble feet to be touched by your dirty mouth that’s always sucking on Magical Beasts, but I’ll make an exception just this once.”

Every nerve in my body was on edge.

This insulting and humiliating situation perfectly stimulated my instincts.

A crazy impulse wrapped around my body, and the desire to prostrate myself at those feet and humiliatingly lick them completely dominated my mind.

But…

There was a trap in that offer.

A huge trap.

If I kissed Camilla’s feet, I would definitely feel great in that moment.

However…

She wouldn’t bully me anymore, and she would make it so that no one could touch me, like before.

I hadn’t even enjoyed it properly yet.

This academy was the problem.

Basically, they were good kids, so they didn’t easily try to cross the line, even with a villain like me.

It seemed like I had to teach them a lesson as a villain.

I slowly raised the corners of my mouth and said to Camilla with a mocking tone.

“Honestly, your bullying is too boring.”

In that moment, Camilla’s eyes froze with bewilderment and anger.

“What?”

“I didn’t know it would be this uninteresting.”

Her expression was so cute that I suppressed my excitement, raising the corners of my mouth more provocatively.

“At least tie up my arms and legs and slowly peel off my skin with a dagger, or submerge my face in water until I’m about to stop breathing, or secretly feed me poison and enjoy watching my organs fail one by one… Or cut off my fingers one by one while I’m asleep and wrap them up nicely as gifts.”

I could feel my whole body heating up just from imagining it.

These were the imaginations that were usually on my bucket list.

‘I’ve been so kind to tell you this much, so you’ll do it properly now, right?’

I waited for Camilla’s reaction with great anticipation.

‘……Huh?’

Camilla was staring at me with her red eyes wide open.

Her face was a mixture of fear and confusion.

After a short but suffocating silence, Camilla barely managed to compose herself and spat out sharply.

“You crazy piece of trash. Get out of my sight right now.”

‘What…? Why?’

I desperately hid my disappointment and coldly raised the corners of my mouth.

“Hmph, making a big fuss when you can’t even do it properly.”

I felt Camilla flinch slightly as I muttered with a hint of mockery.

I didn’t look back at her anymore, and turned my back and left the place, pretending to be as relaxed as possible.

‘Ha… I should have just done what she asked…’
