Chapter 75: Revival

Chapter 75: Revival

“…Cecil. Are you feeling unwell?”

Scarlett asked with concern.

But I didn’t answer.

No, I couldn’t answer.

My mental state wasn’t stable enough to open my mouth.

I just trembled uncontrollably without a word.

I tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep properly.

When I finally managed to fall asleep and wake up.

The anxiety I felt then still clung to my mind like sticky tar.

“Euk, haa.. Ha..”

As I expressed my extreme anxiety, Scarlett hugged me tightly.

The anxiety subsided a little.

I buried my face in her shoulder and spoke with difficulty.

“Young Lady… Medicine… the one I took yesterday… Give it to me… Give it to me again..”

I remembered the memory of my body heating up and finding it unbearable after taking the medicine.

But I had never felt anxious from not taking the medicine before.

Since this was the first time, the fear felt even greater.

“It’s okay. Calm down. First, take a deep breath…”

“Huu, haa.. Haaah.. Ha..”

I tried to take a deep breath as Scarlett said.

But it was difficult to calm down.

She told me to ‘wait’ for a moment and then took something out of a drawer.

It was a syringe.

A syringe filled with a clear liquid.

I gasped, thinking it was medicine, but Scarlett’s reaction suggested otherwise.

“First… I’ll give you this. The ingredients for the medicine have run out… so I can’t make it.”

What?

The medicine ingredients have run out?

Then, will I have to keep experiencing this feeling?

Zooooook-

After gently massaging my arm, Scarlett injected the syringe into my arm.

At least I felt better as the medicine entered my body.

I felt a strange drowsiness and took a slow deep breath.

“Huu, haa.. Hu..”

“That’s a relief… You seem a little better.”

Scarlett seemed quite surprised by my sudden action.

She let out a sigh of relief and hugged me tightly.

Feeling the drug’s effects in Scarlett’s embrace made me feel sleepy.

I haven’t even eaten breakfast yet, but it’s been a while since I felt this sleepy.

I let my body go limp and looked up at Scarlett’s eyes.

My eyes slowly closed, and my consciousness faded.

Just before I fell asleep, Scarlett’s eyes showed no change in expression, unlike her words.

For some reason, I felt a sense of unease.

****

“Young Lady, medicine… mediiicine..”

As soon as I woke up, the first thing I sought was medicine.

No matter how much I slept, this terrible feeling wouldn’t go away.

Scarlett was giving me a pillow with her lap, as if she had been doing so for a while.

“I’m sorry, Cecil. The ingredients for the medicine haven’t arrived yet… Can you wait a little longer..?”

She looked at me gently with a sad face.

Yes. If the medicine ingredients haven’t arrived yet, there’s nothing I can do.

I slowly nodded and closed my eyes to try and calm this feeling.

I didn’t want to be awake anymore.

If I kept my eyes open like this, I felt like something was tightly squeezing my throat.

My heart pounded with anxiety, and cold sweat seeped from my hands.

It was as if I could go crazy just from taking a little medicine.

A hellish sensation I had never heard of or experienced.

As soon as possible.

I hope the medicine ingredients arrive.

“Ugh, au..”

Lucy, with a worried expression, slowly stroked my head.

But her face didn’t register.

I just had a dazed expression, as if half-crazed, and was panting.

****

I feel like I’m going crazy.

“Keuk, keuk.. Hieeeuk..”

Tears poured down.

I don’t know why I’m crying. Tears just flowed.

The world was terrible, I was disgusting, and my mind was bleak.

Scarlett left the room, telling me to wait a moment.

Because of that, I had to tremble while hugging Lucy and shed tears.

“Ugh.. Auuu.. Uee..”

Lucy seemed to pity me, trembling like a sick chick.

She hugged me tightly and kept patting my back and stroking the back of my head.

Normally, the warmth would calm my body.

But this time, the symptoms were more severe.

I don’t know how much time has passed since I couldn’t take the medicine.

A day, two days, a week?

I don’t know about anything else, but I knew my mental state was deteriorating.

Creak-

Then, the door to the room opened.

Scarlett rushed towards me, holding something in her hand.

“Cecil, here. Eat.”

And as usual, she placed the medicine on her tongue.

I eagerly engaged in a deep kiss with Scarlett and swallowed the medicine.

“Hyaaaaah..”

At the same time, I felt happiness filling my mind.

Yes. This is it.

How much I’ve been waiting for this.

My mind melted, and comfort filled me.

I finally managed a small smile with the relief that swept through my body.

But that was short-lived.

“Uh, uh..?”

About 10 minutes passed in that state of happiness.

The drug’s effects, which had made me happy, began to fade as if they had never existed.

Then, the terrible depression I felt before washed over me.

Rather, since my mood had been so high, the mental descent felt even greater.

“Why, why… Why… Whyyyyy…!”

I muttered frantically like a half-mad person and trembled.

Why? Why?

Did the drug’s effect suddenly disappear?

“Geuk, huk.. Young Lady… Mediiicine… the feeling is getting bad again… Why… keuk, why…”

My mind was so messed up that I couldn’t even speak properly.

Tears streaming down, I stared pleadingly at Scarlett.

Then, Scarlett, with a dark expression, stroked my head.

“I’m sorry, Cecil. The ingredients for the medicine are a bit scarce… It will take some more time to make the next batch.”

“Huk, huk, keuk..”

At her despairing words, I burst into tears.

Do I have to endure this feeling while waiting for the ingredients to arrive, whenever that may be?

But no matter how much I cried, sobbed, and trembled.

The reality of not having the medicine didn’t change.

I cried a lot again and fell asleep from exhaustion.

Truly.

It was a terrible day.

****

“Lately, Young Lady’s condition seems a bit off. Did something happen?”

“Who knows. I’m fine.”

“…You know I’m not talking about you.”

Henry, the chef preparing this morning’s breakfast, sighed faintly.

He usually didn’t concern himself with Scarlett’s affairs.

After all, he had neither the right nor the reason to care.

But this time, he couldn’t help but pay attention, no matter how he looked at it.

The reason was the sounds coming from Scarlett’s room every night and morning – Cecil’s voice.

He was used to the moans.

After all, that was proof that she was somewhat happy.

But the problem was that every day, he heard screams of terror.

Given Scarlett’s personality, she would have tried to solve any problem Cecil had.

But if this has been happening for over a week?

Then it falls into the realm of intentionality.

At least Henry felt that something was going wrong.

“Don’t worry too much. I’m just trying to break a ‘habit’ these days.”

“I hope you realize that excessive discipline ruins a person.”

Saying that, Henry placed two plates on the tray.

Scarlett seemed to ponder his words for a moment, her expression dazed.

Then she spoke.

“This much is fine. Honestly, it would be even better if she completely broke.”

Henry suddenly recalled Scarlett when she first brought Cecil.

He knew that kidnapping and forcibly confining someone was unforgivable.

But at least Scarlett back then wasn’t this extreme.

What on earth made her like this?

Henry sighed faintly and then spoke again.

“…Please consider my position as well, hearing the screams.”

Scarlett was no longer in a state to listen to anyone.

From the time the former master of this mansion died, a past she didn’t want to think about.

She had been gradually wearing away.

Henry thought her current state was an extension of that.

Even so, there was nothing Henry could do.

“I’m sorry. I’ll be careful.”

Scarlett chuckled and nodded at Henry’s words.

She briefly lifted the lid covering the plates.

Then she naturally changed the subject.

“The sauce smells a bit unusual. Is it a new sauce?”

“Yes. Young Lady, the fruit you gave me before-“

Chiiiiik-

But before he could finish his sentence.

A burning sound came from the wok that had been heated.

“Ah, right..! No!”

Then Henry rushed towards the wok.

From the looks of it, he had forgotten about heating the wok because of the earlier conversation.

It was rare to see Henry lost in thought while cooking.

He must have been really bothered by Cecil’s screams.

Scarlett chuckled at his unavoidable meddling and took the food upstairs.

She would be unable to hear anything Henry said in his current state.

Passing by the servants who looked slightly scared, she finally reached the top floor.

She blushed, imagining Cecil’s face, which must have completely lost it.

Scarlett hadn’t originally intended to punish Cecil.

But for some reason, she felt the need to punish her for hiding the fact that she could move her body.

Therefore, she devised a highly addictive drug.

First, give her the ultimate pleasure, and then gradually reduce the dosage.

Then, increase her dependence on herself.

And finally, completely shatter her mind.

That was Scarlett’s idea of a minor ‘punishment.’

Creak-

“Did you sleep well? This morning…”

Jjigeok, jjeok, pugeok, pugeok-

“Euk, eeut, higgeuk..”

Finally, she opened the door to the room.

What greeted Scarlett was Cecil, who had completely lost it.

She was trembling, with a vibrator inserted into her vulva, which she must have found in a drawer.

Lucy, with a bright red face, was assisting her rough masturbation.

Perhaps because her stress had reached its limit.

Cecil, with a completely deranged expression, climaxed, leaking arousal fluid.

Hek, heek..”

Saliva dripped from her slightly parted lips.

Scarlett, gazing at it, showed no surprise.

“Cecil. Was it very difficult? Speak up.”

After placing the breakfast on the table, she grabbed the vibrator and moved it wildly.

Pfft, Pyuut-

At the same time, her back arched, and arousal fluid splattered everywhere.

Cecil, panting with a bright red face, climaxed wildly.

Perhaps she had found a way to escape this terrible mental state through masturbation.

From Scarlett’s perspective, this was a good thing.

She instructed Lucy to clean up the mess.

Then she sat Cecil on a chair.

“Hii, hiiit..”

Cecil still seemed to be in the afterglow of her climax.

Well, it didn’t matter. If it was Cecil, she would gladly accept being served.

Click-

When the plate lid was opened, a delicious smell wafted out.

The chef had developed a new sauce, which was generously drizzled over the steak.

I should ask to taste it later.

Thinking so, Scarlett cut the steak into bite-sized pieces.

“Here, Cecil. If it’s hard to eat, I’ll feed you. Ahh.”

I was worried she wouldn’t eat well since she was half-crazed earlier.

But she opened her mouth and chewed the steak slowly.

Even without strength, she responded to Scarlett’s requests without complaint.

She seemed much more well-behaved than I expected.

Thinking so, she smiled with joy.

“Umm.. Umm.. Umm..?”

However.

Cecil’s reaction while chewing the steak was a little strange.

With every chew, her hazy eyes became clearer.

When she finally chewed and swallowed the steak.

For a brief moment, Cecil’s eyes returned to normal.
