“Were you happy?”

“…Huh?”

Lena let out a bewildered sound, as if the question was unexpected.

“What… what do you mean?”

“Mean? I mean exactly what the question implies.”

Theo said again, impassively, clenching his fist tightly.

‘Is this okay?’

[Were you happy in the brothel?]

The question itself was something that should never be asked to the person in front of him.

Lena had been gang-raped by criminals and then kidnapped. And she had to live as a sex slave there for several months.

Normally, even mentioning related stories in front of the person involved should be avoided. Because that alone could stimulate trauma.

That’s why Theo had nothing to say even if Lena slapped him, or even beat him to death.

But… Theo had to say this.

“If you didn’t hear me properly, I’ll say it again.”

“I… I don’t quite understand…”

Perhaps because of the shocking content of the question, Lena couldn’t continue speaking properly. And Theo carefully observed Lena’s appearance.

Her hands were trembling slightly. Her complexion had turned pale. Her body was stiff.

‘She’s definitely surprised.’

She seemed to be trying to remain calm, but Theo immediately noticed that Lena was greatly embarrassed.

This was the first time Theo had seen Lena react this way since they met.

More than anger or shock, what stood out was ’embarrassment.’

‘Then, really…’

That reaction gave Theo even greater confidence in his thoughts.

“Theo, don’t tell me…”

Lena, who had been slightly bowing her head, suddenly grabbed Theo’s arms tightly and began to shake her hands.

“Are you thinking that I enjoyed my life in the brothel?”

“Yes.”

“What, what did you say? How could you…”

“…Kuh.”

This was bad.

Theo’s heart sank at the sight before him.

Her tone and face were full of hurt. For a moment, he wondered if he should apologize to Lena right now and pretend it never happened.

‘Calm down. Don’t waver. There’s something I need to confirm.’

Theo steeled himself and continued the words he had prepared.

“…I’m sorry. I know that asking this question could hurt you, Lena, and that it could be an irreversible mistake.”

“Then why…”

“Just a moment.”

Theo carefully removed Lena’s hands from his arms. Then he turned and headed to the desk behind him.

“As you know, I made a great effort to save you, Lena. But… in the process, I unintentionally discovered some strange things.”

Theo reached the desk, rummaged through the drawer, and soon took something out.

-Click.

“You know what this is, right?”

“That’s…”

Lena knew very well what the object from the drawer was.

It was a Choker-shaped object. It was the Magic Suppression Orb that prevented Lena from resisting or escaping.

-Swish.

Theo carefully fiddled with the Magic Suppression Orb.

“When I was preparing the plan, I thought that I could only succeed perfectly if I could unlock this Magic Suppression Orb.”

No matter how much Theo prepared and launched a surprise attack, he was alone in the end. In addition, he had to escape with Lena, who couldn’t use mana.

Then the chances of success would definitely decrease even more.

“I knew that these kinds of things were usually only handled in special places like the military. But I was lucky enough to find the exact same product in a magic-related store in the city. I also found out how to unlock it there.”

The part that Theo had painstakingly prepared shone in practice.

As soon as he met Lena, he was able to release the Magic Suppression Orb using the Scroll he had prepared.

-Theo…?

-Just a moment. I’ll unlock this first.

Of course, Lena couldn’t show her usual strength because her mana had been suppressed for a long time. But she was able to assist Theo enough.

In the end, they escaped safely and returned home, so things went according to plan.

“But… there’s an interesting fact I heard from the Wizard who runs that place.”

Theo held the Magic Suppression Orb in one hand and slowly began to walk towards Lena again.

“Did you know? This product can suppress up to the [6-Star] realm.”

“Uh, uh…?”

Before he knew it, Lena’s eyes were shaking so strongly that she could no longer hide it.

“Surely you’re not going to tell me that your realm is only 6-Star here, are you? I’m about to reach 5-Star now, and I know very well that your strength is beyond that.”

“Wait a minute! Listen to me first. That…”

Lena tried to get up from the bed with a desperate cry, but,

“No.”

-Thud.

“Ugh?!”

Theo strongly pressed Lena’s shoulder, making her sit back on the bed.

“Listen to me until the end first.”

“… .”

It was a very rude act, but Lena only mumbled. She was embarrassed by Theo’s strong appearance.

“From this point on, I started to have some questions. I couldn’t understand how the situation was unfolding.”

Since that day, Theo began to retrace the process of the incident and the current situation step by step.

“First of all, it seemed certain that what happened to Lena at the point when she was affected by the Love Potion was an unavoidable event.”

That day was like a nightmare. He had reviewed that memory several times, but the situation and Lena’s reaction at that time could never be seen as an intentional situation.

The problem was after that.

“But even after being captured, I couldn’t understand why she couldn’t escape just because of this Magic Suppression Orb.”

If it was Lena that Theo knew, breaking this level of Magic Suppression Orb and escaping would have been very easy.

She could escape, but she didn’t.

‘Why the hell?’

At the time, he couldn’t easily guess the reason.

“As I watched the situation with these suspicions, I saw more strange things.”

Lena’s face, which seemed to be full of pain every time he scouted. Strangely, at the same time, he also began to feel faint pleasure and enjoyment within it.

Of course, he considered other possibilities first. Theo believed that Lena he knew would never do that.

But as he investigated, other possibilities gradually disappeared.

In the end, there was only one conclusion Theo could draw.

‘I still can’t believe it…’

Lena was enjoying her life in the brothel.

“Hoo…. That’s all I want to say to you, Lena. Do you have anything to say to me?”

“Misunderstanding. It’s all a misunderstanding!”

As soon as Theo’s questioning ended, Lena hurriedly began to explain.

“It’s true that I have more than 6-Star skills as you guessed. But the influence of the Magic Suppression Orb is not that simple. It’s impossible to escape with mana already depleted after being affected for several hours. If I could have escaped, there’s no reason why I wouldn’t have.”

“That’s a plausible excuse. But…”

Theo shook the book that was already in his other hand.

“You wrote it down in this book yourself, Lena. That once you reach the realm of Superhuman, 7-Star, the amount of mana in your body doesn’t matter.”

“…Wa, wait. I’ll explain that part too.”

“Hmm…”

Theo strode over and stood in front of Lena. And he looked down at Lena from above.

Theo had always been in a position to only receive protection and care from Lena.

But at this moment, their relationship was reversed.

“… .”

-Gulp.

Lena’s Adam’s apple moved at Theo’s gaze, and a drop of sweat ran down her cheek.

Lena was trembling in front of Theo, who used to be a kid.

“Let’s stop this meaningless argument.”

-Thump.

“Ugh?!”

Theo pushed Lena’s shoulder and knocked her down onto the bed. And he immediately lay down on top of her, who had fallen defenselessly.

“Ugh… You don’t have to do this. Please calm down…”

Lena tried to move her body, but Theo’s strong arms firmly pressed down on both of her shoulders, preventing her from moving.

“Just admit it. That you enjoyed your life in the brothel and didn’t escape. And that you left me in pain!”

“Theo, is this who you are? Really… you can’t believe Lena?”

“You’re still just lying and denying it. Then what’s this?”

Theo’s hand quickly reached into the towel Lena was wearing.

-Swish.

“Heuh?! You, you crazyㅡ”

“Look.”

“Take this off… right… n…”

A sticky thread slowly dripped between Theo’s fingers.

“That’s… that…”

Lena, who had been about to get angry like fire in front of it, had no choice but to close her mouth with a flushed face.

“I expected it to some extent… but I didn’t know you were this lewd.”

“…I can’t stand it anymore either.”

The moment blue light gathered in Lena’s body and she tried to get away from Theo.

“Stop.”

-Click.

The Magic Suppression Orb was once again fastened on the red mark on Lena’s neck.

“Th, this is…”

“It doesn’t matter if you push me away now. But you know very well what it means to shake me off and get away with the Magic Suppression Orb on, right?”

“…Do you have to go this far?”

“Yes. I’m curious to see what choice you’ll make.”

The line had already been crossed long ago.

Theo was going to settle things here, no matter what method he used.

“Ugh…”

Lena bit her lower lip tightly, unable to do anything. She realized that no matter what choice she made, the remaining outcome would not be good.

“You’ve chosen to stay still. Then let’s start again.”

Theo once again reached out his hand towards Lena’s lower body. Of course, this time he had no intention of stopping at just caressing.

-Squish.

“Haah… Ugh…!”

“You’re getting wet while talking to me. Are you perhaps excited by being pressured by me?”

“Heuh… Ugh… Please…”

Being caressed by the child she had been taking care of.

Lena tried to suppress her moans in this embarrassing and humiliating situation.

“Hic, haah… Heuep…!”

“The words coming out of your mouth and your reaction are completely opposite.”

-Squish, squish.

“Haah… Stop… Please stop!”

A cry close to pleading.

Only then did Theo briefly take his hand away and step back.

“Heua, haa…”

Lena was exhausted, breathing roughly with a flushed face.

“Now tell me honestly. Are all my guesses true?”

“… .”

“I guess it’s not enough yet.”

At Lena’s silence, Theo reached out his hand again.

-Grab.

Lena grabbed Theo’s hand, which was reaching out mercilessly.

“I’m sorry. I’m really… sorry.”

Words of apology, not denial.

What that meant was clear.

“Ha, ha…”

It was real. It was all true.

Theo let out a hollow laugh and stepped back.

“I still hoped that my thoughts were a misunderstanding, or that you would give me a convincing explanation… I guess it was a vain hope.”

The injustice and betrayal that had been suppressed until now burst out from within Theo.

He had worked so hard and suffered so much… but the other person was just enjoying it.

‘…It hurts.’

Even though he had expected and prepared for it, his heart felt like it was tearing apart when he confirmed the truth.

“So you were enjoying yourself so much that you didn’t even think about the aftermath. Which also means you never dreamed that I would come to save you.”

“I have nothing to say even if you resent and Curse me.”

Lena couldn’t make eye contact with Theo and turned her head.

“I never dreamed that you were this kind of person, Lena.”

To Theo, Lena was always a perfect and untouchable teacher and family.

Might, strength, intelligence. She was superior in every way to anyone he had ever met.

But she was also a human being just like everyone else. Infinitely weak in the face of desire and pleasure.

“Theo, I know that no matter what I do, your wounds won’t disappear. So… I’ll live while atoning to you from now on.”

“Atonement? I don’t need that. I expected it anyway. Instead, you can pay the price.”

“The price…?”

Theo had foolishly committed murder without knowing the truth and rescued Lena.

But all his efforts were not meaningless.

Whatever the truth hidden behind it, Theo was now with Lena.

‘Now I just have to make sure this doesn’t happen again. Never again.’

The anger that had been burning in Theo’s eyes was now filled with only peace.

“Lena.”

“…Yeah.”

“Actually, I’m okay.”

“O, okay?”

-Whack.

Theo hugged Lena, who had a questioning expression, tightly.

“I was very angry about the part where you deceived me, Lena. Because I had to spend hellish months because of that damn pleasure. But I can understand you.”

Everyone has a hidden nature. That’s why this incident was a misfortune that befell each other.

Lena didn’t know her inherent instincts well.

Theo had the good fortune to meet Lena, but he suffered the misfortune of being forgotten by Lena for the past few months.

But the root cause was different.

“Love Potion. And their cruel actions must have completely ruined you, Lena. At least it’s clear that those bastards are the most responsible.”

Theo whispered softly in Lena’s ear.

“Now the important thing is what to do ‘in the future’.”

And he bit Lena’s ear as it was.

“Haah?!”

Theo didn’t care about Lena’s surprised moan. Rather, he fearlessly went down from her ear.

Neck. Collarbone. To her chest. Leaving his mark.

“Ugh… Heuh….”

Lena trembled, letting out a seductive moan.

“Heueu, haa…. Waiit a minuet….”

“To be honest, I’m disappointed.”

There would be no man who lives with a beautiful woman like Lena and never has dangerous thoughts.

Of course, Theo sometimes had unspeakable fantasies. He quickly shook them off with the guilt that came over him.

But if he had known this would happen. If he had known that Lena’s sexual preferences were like this.

‘I should have taken the lead and coveted her first.’

Theo carefully stroked Lena’s cheek.

“Lena.”

“Heuh… Theo, this is….”

Flushed cheeks and teary eyes. Theo felt the blood continuing to rush to his lower body at the alluring sight.

“I’ll fill your dark desires.”

“Ha, but what we’re doing is…”

Theo was about to remove the towel covering Lena’s body, but he stopped for a moment.

“…Is this okay?”

Damn it. What are you saying after coming this far?

Theo closed his eyes tightly at his ridiculous words.

There was a trace of fear left in his heart. If Lena refused here, he really didn’t have the confidence to do it by force.

At that time.

“Theo.”

-Swish.

Lena carefully stroked Theo’s cheek.

“I’m probably not in my right mind. My body has already been defiled countless times. Even if it’s me who betrayed you… is it okay?”

“I don’t care about that.”

“If that’s really what you mean…”

Lena pushed Theo’s hand away and carefully removed the towel she had wrapped around her body.

Then, her plump breasts and bare skin were exposed nakedly underneath.

“Theo, thank you for accepting and understanding me like this. And I’m sorry.”

Lena gave a faint smile and made complete eye contact with Theo for the first time.

“So cover me with you.”

“…Lena. Be prepared.”

At the same time as Theo kissed Lena, their bodies overlapped.
