Chapter 81: Extortion

Chapter 81: Extortion

Scarlett’s demeanor was strange.

Lucy felt it.

Slurp.

“Did you sleep well..?”

Then, a short kiss was delivered to my forehead.

At the same time, my heart pounded.

Does Cecil know that the atmosphere in the mansion is unsettling?

The person concerned didn’t seem to know very well.

Well, it doesn’t matter.

Lucy returned a kiss on the cheek as if in response to Cecil’s kiss.

Then Cecil smiled brightly.

Her smile instantly improved my mood.

In addition, the words I heard around yesterday morning flashed through my mind.

‘Oli, you wicked thing…’

Actually, Lucy was awake yesterday.

She wasn’t unconscious.

Oli’s magic clearly hit Lucy’s body directly.

But Lucy’s recovery was faster than that, which was the problem.

Because of that, Lucy overheard Oli’s revelation.

And, because of Cecil’s reaction afterwards.

“Ugh..”

Lucy couldn’t stop her face from turning red.

Cecil stared at Lucy’s expression for a moment.

As if something came to mind, she also showed a slightly embarrassed look.

A strange atmosphere spread between them. It was fortunate that Scarlett had gone to get food.

If she had seen this scene, she might have gotten angry.

“Um, hmm… Good… morning.”

Perhaps because the atmosphere was strange, Cecil said something appropriate.

Oli, why did you say something strange?

The atmosphere between them became a little strange.

I just wished she would treat me as usual, but.

I couldn’t express that feeling, and there were many problems with expressing it.

“Hyu..”

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

As I sighed faintly with a slightly complicated mind, Cecil tilted her head.

Seeing that, Lucy felt an unexpected cuteness.

Lucy quietly hugged Cecil’s body tightly.

‘I like sister’s scent..’

When I smell it, my mind becomes peaceful, and my heart pounds.

As a dragon race member with a sensitive sense of smell, it was even more so.

However, if I just hugged Cecil like this, I felt like an unexpected situation might occur.

Lucy slowly released her arms that were hugging Cecil.

“Hwaam.. The weather seems to have gotten a little warmer lately. Right, Lucy?”

Cecil, who had been making an awkward expression until a moment ago.

She soon returned to her usual demeanor.

It was Lucy’s favorite expression.

A bright yet confident expression, typical of Cecil.

Creak-

How long had they been lying in bed like that?

Scarlett opened the room door and came inside.

In her hand was the usual meal, and a medicine bottle she hadn’t seen before.

Sniff, sniff.

For a moment, Lucy’s nose twitched, and she instinctively smelled it.

The bottle was small. It was only about the size of a thumb.

The liquid inside was red and had a strange sweet scent.

It made Lucy’s tail react.

It’s a scent I’ve smelled before.

And Lucy knew that this scent was not a pleasant one.

‘Love potion..?’

This scent is definitely the scent of a love potion.

A potion that makes the drinker fall in love by adding the bodily fluids or parts of two people.

Simple, but its effects are never simple.

The love caused by the love potion is incredibly strong.

The person who drinks the love potion becomes obsessively drawn to the other person.

To the point of experiencing severe anxiety if the other person is not present, beyond love.

Because of this, the love potion gained significant interest and popularity when it was first released.

However, after an incident where a woman who drank the potion, driven mad by jealousy, murdered all the men around the male, it was banned.

But.

Scarlett now possesses that forbidden drug.

“Did you sleep well? Today’s breakfast is spaghetti. The chef has recently gotten into noodle dishes.”

Scarlett sat down with a serene smile.

Cecil also didn’t seem to notice anything strange and spread her arms, asking Lucy, “Can you help?”

“Ah, ugh..”

What should I do about this?

I don’t know why Scarlett suddenly brought the love potion.

Yesterday, she took Cecil’s hair and bodily fluids, was it because of that?

The manufacturing method of the love potion is quite complicated.

Because it uses a rare flower that dies if even slightly deviated from the management method.

The love potion is made by growing the flower with the bodily fluids of the person the potion is intended for.

It is said to have the characteristic of carrying a sweet scent and being incomparably beautiful.

It symbolizes noble love.

Scarlett’s feelings were not noble, nor anything else.

“Eutcha.. Thank you.”

With Lucy’s help, Cecil slowly sat at the dining table.

When the lid was opened, it revealed appetizing spaghetti.

Normally, I would have enjoyed the meal happily.

But Lucy’s mind is entirely occupied by the love potion.

The suffocating meal, where one second felt like one minute, passed.

“Did you enjoy your meal? I’ll be back after cleaning up. Today’s medicine is really special, so look forward to it.”

Scarlett picked up the empty plates, smiled sweetly, and left the room.

Cecil, as usual, had a satisfied expression.

She lay sprawled on the bed.

“Lucy.. Come here..”

And then, with a languid expression, she spread her arms.

If it were up to me, I would have rushed into Cecil’s arms immediately.

But the medicine on the table was quite concerning.

If Lucy drinks that, she will cross a point of no return.

She will be half-mad for Scarlett and dedicate the rest of her life to her.

Without even knowing if this is real love or what.

‘Not like that..’

That is absolutely unacceptable.

I don’t know why I’m doing this for Cecil, but.

That’s just how it is. I wanted to do it.

Gulp.

Lucy swallowed dryly.

There is currently no way to prevent her from drinking it.

It was a completely blood-red liquid, so I considered filling it with my own blood.

But that’s not allowed. Scarlett, with her keen sense of smell, would notice immediately.

There is no way or time to fill it with other liquids.

Tup-

But.

There was indeed one method.

Lucy gripped the bottle with a tense expression.

Although Cecil looked at me with an expression of incomprehension.

She soon gave up calling Lucy and lay sprawled on her back.

Tuk-

And then Lucy pulled out a strand of her hair.

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

My heart began to pound incessantly.

This seemed like a crazy act no matter how I thought about it.

The only way to prevent Cecil from falling in love with Scarlett.

That was to put my own hair in it.

The reason the love potion is dangerous is that the drinker can change the ‘object of affection’ at will.

The drinker cannot change it because the flower blooms with the bodily fluids of the person involved.

However, the object of affection is determined by the order of the last bodily part added.

First, Scarlett’s hair would have been added.

If Lucy adds her hair second, Cecil will fall in love with Lucy.

‘Is this right?’

There are about 3 minutes until Scarlett comes up. There is no time.

Therefore, my worries and anxiety grew.

Tuk-tuk-

How long had I been contemplating with the medicine bottle in hand?

Scarlett’s footsteps were now echoing in the hallway.

Lucy bit her lips tightly in this suffocating situation.

And then.

She put her hair into the medicine bottle.

Bugeul-bugeul-

Then, with a sound like boiling water, the hair melted into it.

The color did not change.

The smell did not change either.

The love potion simply emitted red smoke.

And melted all the hair as if nothing had happened.

Now, no matter what happens, it’s irreversible.

Lucy quickly put the medicine bottle back in its original place and scurried over to Cecil.

Creak-

“You waited a long time, didn’t you?”

Scarlett, entering the room at the perfect timing.

She approached Cecil with the medicine bottle in hand, her face filled with anticipation.

“Young Lady, this is..”

“It’s a new medicine I brought. Would you like to open your mouth?”

Cecil seemed to be contemplating whether to take this medicine.

But she soon nodded and slightly opened her mouth.

Perhaps it’s because this medicine isn’t an injection or a pill, so she’s not very wary.

After a moment, Cecil gulped down the medicine.

A little time passed.

Scarlett smiled sweetly and stroked Cecil’s blinking head.

“How do you feel?”

“Hmm..”

But there was no particular change in Cecil’s expression.

She just blinked her eyes as if she didn’t understand what was happening.

“I don’t feel anything in particular… It’s a little sweet and delicious, though..”

“..Is that so?”

Although she tried not to show it.

Scarlett’s cheeks twitched.

What is it?

Even if I changed the contents of the elixir, it’s a bit strange that there’s no reaction.

Could it be that Scarlett failed to make the elixir?

Given the current situation, that’s the only possibility.

‘In a way… is that good?’

No matter how skilled Scarlett is, nothing is absolute.

Come to think of it, it wasn’t so bad. It’s better than the medicine going in strangely.

Scarlett squeezed Cecil’s cheeks for a moment and stroked her hair.

She still tilted her head with an expression of ‘What is she doing?’

“…If there’s nothing else, then it’s fine.”

“I’ll go down for a bit.”

Scarlett, adding that, left the room with a stiff expression.

She seemed to be going to check the ingredients for the elixir.

With this, I can finally take a breath.

Lucy sighed faintly and sat gently next to Cecil.

“Hihi..”

And then she hugged Cecil tightly.

Thank goodness. The elixir didn’t work.

Cecil looked at me with a puzzled expression at the surprise hug.

But she soon stroked Lucy’s head.

However, Lucy made one mistake.

The elixir’s effect had not failed to manifest.

It just simply.

It just takes a little time for other ingredients to settle.

Of course, Lucy didn’t know that.

****

“Jjueup, jjueup-“

“Eut, hiiueut..”

Feeling her lower body being intensely sucked, Lucy opened her eyes, her tail twitching.

Her lower body felt a tingling sensation.

Something soft and warm entered her, stirring her tightly squeezed vagina.

‘Is it a dream..?’

Lately, I haven’t been intimate with Cecil much.

Every time she smiled innocently, exuded a feminine scent, and spread her moans during sex with Scarlett.

I suppressed the urge to pounce on Cecil every day.

So, am I having such a lewd dream?

“Jjueup.. Paha..”

However, it felt too vivid and lewd to be a dream.

Our body temperatures touched, and ticklish hands moved upwards.

It wasn’t until the hot breath reached my ears.

That Lucy realized this was not a dream.

‘Sister..?’

“Ugh, ugh..”

“Shhh… If you’re not careful, Young Lady will wake up…”

I tried to mumble something.

But Cecil just covered Lucy’s mouth and signaled her to be quiet.

“Haaaa.. Lucy..”

Jjigeok-

“Hiup..!”

Cecil, letting out a moaning voice, fiddled with Lucy’s vulva.

She lightly rubbed her clitoris and slowly inserted her fingers.

I couldn’t understand what was happening.

I woke up from sleep to find Cecil on top of me.

“I’m sorry for doing this while you were sleeping… I couldn’t help it..”

Then Cecil whispered softly to Lucy and hugged her small body.

And then our vulvas touched.

A tingling sensation spread throughout my body.

In that moment of utter confusion.

Lucy saw.

Cecil’s eyes were filled with lust and a strange affection.

And then I finally realized.

‘Love potion..’

The elixir had not failed.

Rather, it had succeeded perfectly, unfortunately.

“Jjueup, jjup.. Huup..”

Cecil’s eyes were half-closed as she licked Lucy’s tongue intensely.

At that moment, Lucy intuitively knew.

Cecil had been completely consumed by the elixir’s effects.

Gulp.

And at the same time, a wicked thought crossed my mind.

If Cecil was intoxicated by the elixir’s effects.

Then I could do whatever I wanted with her.

Reaching that thought, Lucy.

With trembling hands, she hugged Cecil tightly.
