Chap 35-It’s Strange…

 

“…So, if you just listen to me, no one in this academy will bother you. I’ll protect you. How about it?”

Camilla’s voice faintly lingered in my ear.

Strangely, the content didn’t quite register in my mind.

It was as if the sound was coming from behind a thick glass wall, just humming meaninglessly.

All my nerves were focused elsewhere.

“Hngh… Ugh…”

I need to… pull myself together…

But my body wouldn’t listen.

Waves of hot, sticky pleasure, starting from deep within my lower abdomen, relentlessly washed over my entire body.

With every breath, every heartbeat, even the slightest movement of blinking my eyes became a new stimulus, amplifying the pleasure.

‘This is strange. I’ve almost never lost control to this extent…’

Masochist.

I had been dealing with this cursed ability for a long time.

Even while feeling pain as pleasure, I had become accustomed to maintaining at least a minimum of reason and controlling the situation.

But today was different.

Was it because of my period?

Or the influence of that curse I absorbed from Elise last night?

This pleasure was too strong, digging too deeply and eroding my will.

‘What’s wrong?’

Just as I was feeling strange and trying to think of the cause—

Crash!

“Ugh…! Haa…!”

Camilla roughly threw me to the floor.

The intense impact of my whole body hitting the hard floor.

The sudden pain plunged my consciousness, which had been about to fade, back into the vortex of pleasure.

“Ah… Ugh…”

The nerves in my entire body stood on end, and my vision blurred. I gasped for breath, lying face down on the floor.

“Wake up, Yeon Bennet!”

Camilla grabbed my hair and roughly pulled me up. Her sharp voice struck my ears.

“Isaac Bennett! Tell me everything you know about him! Now!”

Camilla’s urgent shout struck my ears.

But I couldn’t answer properly.

The pain of having my hair grabbed, the impact of being thrown to the floor, and the waves of pleasure constantly surging up from my lower abdomen. All of this was mixed together, paralyzing my reason.

“Hngh… Aah… Haa…”

I could only twist my body, moaning meaninglessly.

‘I need to… pull myself together…’

“Tch… This won’t do. Tie her up!”

As Camilla shouted irritably, her followers, who had been waiting, approached as if on cue.

With practiced skill, they began to bind my arms and legs with ropes.

I tried to resist, but my legs, weakened by the pleasure, had no strength.

The sensation of my entire body being tightly bound.

The feeling of being restricted in movement, the powerlessness of not being able to move an inch.

It became another kind of stimulus that washed over me.

Even the pressure of the ropes digging into my skin felt sweet.

I desperately bit my lip.

“…”

Camilla looked down at me, struggling on the floor tied with ropes, with a dumbfounded expression.

She asked the followers standing next to her.

“Hey, why is she acting like this?”

The followers looked at each other, and one of them cautiously replied.

“Well… Lady Camilla. Maybe… she’s taken some kind of drug?”

“Drug?”

Camilla stared at me for a moment, then clicked her tongue and said.

“Tch… She’s really gone all the way.”

She looked down at me with a mixture of contempt and mockery, sneering.

“You were so arrogant last time, you must have had a hard time since then? To resort to drugs. Honestly, if I were you, I would have been so ashamed that I would have killed myself already.”

Camilla’s words caused her followers to burst into laughter.

Their mocking and contemptuous gazes were poured upon me.

“Hmm…”

Just then, Camilla’s voice suddenly turned as sweet and soft as honey.

She approached me, who was tied up, squatted down, and gently stroked my chin. I felt goosebumps at the touch.

“You seem to be having a hard time, Yeon.”

She wore a worried expression, but her eyes were still shining coldly.

“I feel sorry for you. So, shall we change the offer slightly?”

‘…Offer?’

What offer is she talking about?

I struggled to understand her words with my mind consumed by pleasure.

Camilla whispered intimately in my ear.

The voice was as sweet and dangerous as a serpent’s temptation.

“That ‘drug’ you want so much. If that’s why you’re suffering like this now, I can help you as much as you want. I’ll get it for you so you can do as much as you want. The highest quality.”

Her fingers gently brushed my cheek.

“Instead… information about Duke Bennett. Give me everything you know. Then I’ll let you escape this pain and enjoy even greater pleasure. How about it? Isn’t it a pretty good offer?”

‘Drug…? Pleasure…? Information…?’

I could clearly hear Camilla whispering something.

But the words scattered in my head without forming any meaning.

It was like wandering in a fog.

Her sweet voice, gentle touch, and the words ‘pretty good offer’ mixed with the pleasure in my lower abdomen, pushing me into even deeper confusion.

‘What… does she want?’

My head wasn’t working properly.

It seemed that nothing mattered except the intense pleasure I was feeling at this moment.

I couldn’t judge what Camilla wanted or what I had to do.

I was just helplessly swaying between the sweet temptation before my eyes and the uncontrollable waves raging inside my body.

‘Just… like this…’

My thoughts became increasingly blurred.

A strong impulse arose to just give in to this pleasure.

Do whatever Camilla wants, escape from this sensation that I don’t know whether it’s pain or pleasure, or fall even deeper into it.

It didn’t seem to matter which.

I barely opened my mouth to answer. But…

“Hngh… Heuh…”

All that came out was a meaningless, lewd moan.

My voice wouldn’t come out properly.

It was as if my vocal cords were paralyzed by the pleasure, or my reason had completely flown away.

The more I tried to speak, the stranger the sounds that came out.

“…”

Camilla’s expression, which had been watching me for a while, hardened again.

She clicked her tongue and stood up.

The sweet mask was nowhere to be seen.

“Tch… You don’t even want to answer. I have no choice.”

She looked down at me with cold eyes and said.

“I didn’t want to use this method.”

Camilla gestured to the followers standing behind her.

“Bring what we prepared.”

Following the order, two followers disappeared into the inner room and soon reappeared with a tray containing several small potion bottles.

The bottles contained a viscous, transparent liquid.

Camilla picked up one of the bottles and shook it in front of my eyes.

The liquid inside shone unpleasantly in the light.

“This should be quite familiar to you, too?”

She said mockingly.

“You saw them using it on other inmates when you were in prison, right?”

‘Familiar?’

I groped for my memories in my hazy mind.

That transparent, viscous liquid… Where had I seen it…?

Ah.

‘Truth serum.’

Bastille Prison.

When I was imprisoned there, I had seen them use it on other inmates.

A drug that caused extreme pain and forced them to reveal the truth.

Of course, I had never experienced it directly because I received ‘special treatment,’ but the sight of other prisoners writhing in pain after being injected with the drug was still vivid in my memory.

She opened the potion bottle with a cruel smile.

“It’ll hurt a lot, but… well, it doesn’t directly harm your body, so don’t worry too much.”

Camilla roughly grabbed my chin and forced my mouth open.

Then she tilted the bottle and whispered in my ear.

“I’ll feed you plenty until you come to your senses and are willing to listen to us.”

The cold mouth of the bottle touched my lips.

‘No… I have to resist…!’

Reason desperately screamed in my head.

I mustn’t take that drug.

But…

The extreme pain I would feel when I took that drug.

The sensation of the nerves in my entire body burning and my insides twisting.

Imagining the unknown pleasure it would bring… I couldn’t muster any strength.

No, rather, my body was involuntarily relaxing, preparing to accept the drug.

Between the will to resist and the instinct to crave pain, I collapsed helplessly.

In the end, I couldn’t resist at all and could only stare blankly at the bottle that Camilla was tilting.

A potion bottle was poured entirely into me, along with a suffocating feeling as the sticky, disgusting-tasting liquid crossed my throat and seemed to flow into my lungs.

“Keuh…! Keok…!”

The moment I forced down the last drop, the change came immediately.

‘…Ah!’

An intense stimulus, as if the nerves in my entire body were screaming, exploded from within.

A burning sensation as if my stomach was twisting and my insides were melting.

It felt like hot lava, not blood, was flowing through my blood vessels.

With every breath, my lungs felt like they were tearing apart, and my heart was beating madly as if it would burst at any moment.

But… ah, but…!

“Haaah…! Haa…! Ugh…!”

An uncontrollable pleasure began to dominate my entire body.

I no longer felt the pleasure from menstrual cramps.

Waves of overwhelming pleasure that shook my very existence, incomparable to that.

It felt like my head was burning white.

The feeling of every single cell in my body trembling with pleasure and melting away.

Even the sensation of poison spreading and stabbing my insides felt like a delicate caress all over my body.

“Haa… Haa… Hngh…!”

I rolled on the floor and writhed.

Tears, whether from pleasure or not, streamed down my cheeks, and moans constantly erupted from my mouth.

‘Hngh… This… is getting weird…’

Snap! Thud!

“…!”

In the midst of senselessly twisting my body, I heard the sound of the ropes that had been binding me snapping weakly.

The enhanced power had unknowingly exploded.

“Ah!”

And at that moment, my arm flailed through the air and accidentally struck one of the followers right next to me hard.

With a dull thud, the female student screamed and fell to the floor.

Whether her arm was broken or she had injured somewhere else, she couldn’t get up, groaning in pain.

The sight momentarily subsided the waves of pleasure that had been consuming me.

‘No… I have to… control the power…’

Sharp guilt, like fragments of broken bones, pierced my blurred consciousness.

My mouth, which had been difficult to open, finally moved.

“I’m… I’m sorry… I didn’t… I didn’t mean to…”

I mumbled in a trembling voice.

Confusion and guilt mixed on my face, which had been soaked in pleasure.

But there was no one to hear my apology.

“That crazy bitch…!”

Camilla’s face, who had been watching all this in front of me, was distorted with anger.

She stared at the fallen follower for a moment, then glared at me with ice-cold eyes and ordered.

“What are you doing? Trample that bitch, now!”

At Camilla’s command, the remaining followers rushed at me without hesitation.
