Chapter 53: Not a Sacrifice.

Chapter 53: Not a Sacrifice.

“Magiccc..?”

I stared blankly at Oli at her sudden remark.

Magic.

“Yes, magic. You drug addict. If we continue like this, we’ll all die from drugs, so I’m teaching you specially.”

“Bueh..”

I had no idea what she was talking about.

I just stood there with my mouth half-open, enjoying the sparkling world.

Oli seemed quite perplexed by my reaction.

She sighed deeply.

“Sigh… Hey, Lucy. Do something about her.”

“Ughh..”

Lucy, who was called upon, had a slightly troubled expression.

After mumbling for a moment and looking at me.

Slurp, slurp-

She suddenly put her mouth to my pussy and started licking.

“Eut, haat.. Lucy..?”

My pussy was being sucked with incredible force.

I writhed in pleasure and climaxed for a moment.

Heuk, heuk..

At the same time, I felt like my head was clearing up slightly.

Perhaps it was because I had climaxed once, relieving my sexual desire.

Hoo, hoo..

As I caught my breath for a moment.

Oli sat on my shoulder again and started chattering.

“You’ve finally come to your senses. Snap out of it and stand up straight!”

“Ugh.. Why are you always doing this..”

I just want to lie here with Lucy and continue making love.

But this annoying little fairy seems to have many complaints.

“Do you know how to use magic?”

“Magic.. I know how to use it..”

Who do you think I am?

I’m someone who has memorized all those countless spells and even fully understood them.

Since that fairy keeps nagging me, I should teach her a lesson with my skills.

From a forgotten ancient spell-

“..Huh?”

I widened my eyes in sudden bewilderment.

What is this?

Why is this happening?

No matter how many times I repeated it, the result was the same.

I couldn’t remember the magic.

I clearly remembered it perfectly until a few weeks ago.

And I could actually use it.

“Ha… I knew it.”

Oli seemed to know something.

She sighed for a moment, fiddled with her wings.

And then continued speaking.

“I heard it from Lucy… that blue pill you took last time. It was a drug that messed up your mana circuits, wasn’t it?”

“Ugh..”

It’s certain. Since then, I haven’t been able to feel anything magical.

No, I didn’t even try to use magic in the first place.

“I think it might have affected your memory too.”

The crazy bitch was playing tricks, Oli added.

Even in my confused state, I didn’t think Oli’s words were mere speculation.

Certainly.

When I took the drug, I felt something snap in my head.

Was it because of this?

I clenched my fist in a strange sense of loss.

“Ugh, augh. Ughh..”

Lucy, looking at me pitifully, patted my back.

Her appearance was so lovely.

I gently hugged Lucy and kissed her neck.

“Ugh, eut..”

“Hey, hey! Stop that! Seriously, we’re not like horny dogs…”

As the atmosphere heated up slightly, Oli cut between us.

It’s a bit disappointing. I released Lucy’s embrace.

“Hoo… Anyway, in your current state, you can’t even move properly, let alone escape.”

Escape?

You keep talking about escape, but I don’t understand what you mean.

It feels like I’ve had this thought before.

My head aches strangely.

“Ugh..”

Oli sighed as I clutched my aching head.

“I can’t do anything about that… I don’t know. Hey, look at me properly.”

At Oli’s call, I slowly turned my head.

Then Oli placed her hand on my chest.

I wondered what she was doing, and my face flushed slightly.

“Don’t get aroused. It’s disgusting…”

“Kuhum..”

I coughed awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Anyway, I took a shallow breath and looked at Oli.

Oli closed her eyes for a moment.

And telepathically transmitted to my mind.

“This should be easier to understand. Concentrate and take a deep breath.”

“Sip, haaah..”

Deep breath as instructed.

At the same time, I felt something warm gathering in my chest.

“If you feel something in your chest, condense it.”

I had handled magic before.

So, I could condense the magic within me without much difficulty.

Finally, as the warmth fully gathered.

“..You’re good at this, though. Now, feel like you’re swallowing it with your heart… absorb it.”

Gulp.

I swallowed dryly without realizing it and moved the warm sensation towards my solar plexus.

As my insides warmed up.

“Haaah..”

I exhaled involuntarily.

And at the same time, I felt my head clearing up.

It felt like cool mint was being released in my head.

“Huk, huk. Huk..”

Perhaps due to the sudden major change in my mind.

I suddenly started breathing heavily.

It felt like withdrawal symptoms when I hadn’t taken the drug.

“Ha, haa.. Haa..”

My body trembled, and a chill ran down my spine.

Cold sweat beaded on my forehead.

At the same time, I felt a mixture of fear and guilt.

‘Why, why is this happening…?’

The drug’s effect is gone.

Are you going to betray Scarlett?

This shouldn’t happen.

Why shouldn’t it?

All sorts of questions followed one after another, clashing violently.

After that maddening mental violence.

“Ugh.. Ugh..”

Lucy, who had been looking at me pitifully, hugged me tightly.

The warm energy spread through my skin to the inside.

“Ha, uhah.. Haa..”

Only then did the trembling in my body slowly subside.

My skin felt moist, so Lucy seemed to be shedding tears.

As I slowly emerged from the emotional turmoil.

“Lucy. Thank you..”

Finally, my mind cleared up.

I hugged Lucy, who was smiling bashfully, and smiled brightly.

My mind is no longer hazy.

I don’t feel weak from the drug’s effects, nor do I climax like an idiot at the slightest touch.

Although it wasn’t a complete cure due to my hymen and the remaining drugs.

My mind is incomparably clearer than before.

“Hoo.. You’ve finally come to my senses. The mental recovery magic I cast before was weak due to the drugs…”

Is this the power of love? Oli added.

At her words, Lucy’s face turned bright red, and she glared at Oli.

I don’t know why she’s so embarrassed.

But in any case, my condition returning to normal is very good news.

“Ughh..”

The only minor problem is that the memories from before are flooding back.

And because of that, I feel quite ashamed.

My face is rapidly heating up.

Did I really do that?

The more I recall the memories, the more embarrassed I become.

..Let’s stop recalling them now.

I smiled bashfully at Oli, who was perched on my shoulder, flapping her wings.

“Get that face away, it’s disgusting.”

“I’m grateful, though.”

“Say that to your girlfriend. She suffered the most.”

Oli said grumpily, pointing at Lucy.

Then Lucy lowered her head slightly, as if embarrassed.

I hugged Lucy tightly and stroked her head.

Then I pulled away.

Lucy, with an expression of utmost joy, turned her red face slightly to the side.

“Then now…”

Oli, who had been watching the scene silently, opened her mouth.

“Before we escape, I need to return your body to its original state.”

“Huh? Isn’t my body already back to normal?”

My current physical state is very pure, just like when I was first kidnapped.

Is there another problem?

To that question, Oli sighed softly and flew to my abdomen.

There, a beautiful vulva was shining brightly.

Then Oli poked it with a finger.

Ziiiiik-

Suddenly, a powerful electric current flowed through my lower body.

“Ah, hiit, hiik..”

I couldn’t help but buck my hips and climax immediately.

My head went blank in the incomprehensible situation.

Oli looked at me as if to say, “See?”

“Your uterus and the vulva engraved on your tongue, and your body that has been trained, need to be returned to their original state. It’s impossible now.”

Come to think of it, that’s also true.

My body has become accustomed to the reward-punishment routine lately.

Honestly, I still feel wet down there when I smell Scarlett.

I need to fix this dependency first.

“Then, what should I do..?”

“What do you mean, what should you do? Do what I taught you whenever you have time. Even when you’re asleep.”

In other words, Oli is telling me to practice some kind of ‘energy circulation.’

I nodded to show I understood.

“Hoo.. Then I’m off to bed. I’ve used too much magic lately..”

Oli’s face was indeed a little thinner than before.

Oli, flying weakly to the bed.

She immediately pulled the covers over herself and fell fast asleep with a snore.

Lucy looked at Oli for a moment.

Then, smiling brightly, she tapped the bed twice.

She must mean for me to practice the treatment method just now.

I silently got onto the bed and hugged Lucy for mental stability.

After burying my face in Lucy’s neck for a moment, recharging with Lucy essence.

I then began Oli’s treatment method.

“Hooou, hoo..”

Although I fumbled a bit at first, I gradually got the hang of it and was able to proceed with the treatment stably.

This is a good sign.

If it continues like this.

I might be able to feel the outside air someday.

I felt the desire to escape, which I had longed for, rekindle.

****

The air in the drawing-room was heavy.

“Scarlett Young Lady. So, about the offer I made before…”

“I told you I’m no longer interested in that.”

“Hmm… Are you really okay? Living in that large mansion… and with criminals, it must be very lonely.”

“..I’d prefer if you didn’t ask anymore.”

At Scarlett’s cold words, the man conversing with her smiled faintly.

However, I knew it wasn’t a friendly smile.

She brushed off the gaze fixed on her legs.

‘Disgusting..’

She quickly left the drawing-room.

“You’re back.”

Then, a knight greeted Scarlett.

He had a very large build and wore a long sword at his waist.

Euston, the knight who always accompanied her on official business.

He gazed at Scarlett’s face for a moment.

And then spoke in a calm tone.

“Is it that noble again?”

However, only his tone was calm.

His voice held noticeable anger.

Scarlett sighed for a moment.

Then she slowly nodded.

“Yes. He keeps proposing that I become his adopted daughter. It’s annoying…”

“…Shall I go and behead him?”

A question without a hint of hesitation.

Scarlett knew it wasn’t just for show.

If she just nodded.

He would immediately rush off and cut down the scoundrel noble.

“It’s fine. He’s a noble who came to the capital after being sickly in the countryside, so he doesn’t know much about the world.”

‘He’s also a necessary resource right now.’

At Scarlett’s dissuasion, Euston nodded.

Then, with a clank, he put on his helmet.

“Understood. Are you returning to the mansion right away?”

“No. I have something else to do.”

Euston looked at Scarlett, who shook her head.

“Is it about the disposal of that sacrifice?”

At the word ‘sacrifice,’ Scarlett’s body flinched.

It was a reaction she never showed normally.

He thought he had received an appropriate answer.

“It’s not just a mere… sacrifice.”

“…May I dare to interfere?”

Scarlett remained silent.

But Euston knew that was tacit consent.

“If we continue like this, it’s only a matter of time before we’re discovered. Surely, Master…”

“Enough. That topic is over. I can find another sacrifice that meets the conditions… I can find one.”

Scarlett seemed to be thinking of someone as she said that.

Euston said nothing.

He just hoped she wouldn’t make the wrong choice.

“I… will continue to wait here.”

“Thank you, as always. I’ll be back as soon as I’m done.”

With those words, Scarlett walked down the royal palace corridor.

Finally arriving at the audience chamber, she brought Cecil’s face to mind.

The face of the sacrifice that the King was so desperately seeking.
