Chapter 15 : A Maiden’s Joys and Sorrows Are Not Shared
Selicia sat astride Muen, her slender waist graceful, her clothes in disarray.
Her dress had already slipped halfway down, and under the pull of gravity, it slid even lower.
Now that the loftiest peak had already been crossed, everything else seemed only natural.
And so, even more breathtaking scenery rushed unobstructed into Muen’s mind.
This was bad. Very, very bad.
This posture, this view and that scorching aura radiating from Selicia, so unlike her usual chill.
Muen felt his mind explode with a buzz.
A rush of hot blood surged straight to his nose, nearly spraying out.
“Your Highness, calm down!”
Using his one free hand to cover his nose, Muen cried out in alarm,
“If this keeps going, it is going to become inappropriate for children!”
“Do not move!”
Selicia’s voice was still cold and clear, but now it carried a strange, seductive undertone.
Merely hearing it was enough to shake Muen’s composure.
“Do not move…”
Selicia lowered her head and pinned down Muen’s other hand as well.
The orchid-like fragrance of the girl enveloped him.
Muen still wanted to struggle, but the girl sitting on top of him felt like a mountain, leaving him unable to budge.
At that moment, Muen finally understood the importance of strength.
Only with strength could a man avoid being humiliatingly pinned beneath a woman, unable to resist.
Damn it. If I survive this time, I am definitely going to cultivate properly!
“Evil dragon blood…”
“Huh?”
Selicia was suddenly muttering something.
“In medicine… There was evil dragon blood mixed in. Adding evil dragon blood to a potion can enhance the drug effect…”
“Oh… okay.”
Muen nodded blankly, utterly confused as to why Selicia was talking about this at a time like this.
Teacher roleplay?
No, this was bad. Now he was even more excited.
“But… evil dragon blood has a property. It cannot come into contact with dragon salvia. Once it does, it will trigger… the toxicity of the evil dragon blood.”
Selicia’s breathing grew heavier and heavier, to the point that even her speech came in broken fragments.
Her expression still flickered between lucidity and delirium, as though she were desperately struggling against the vicious poison raging within her.
“In other words… lust poison.”
Muen suddenly realized that Selicia did not seem to be talking to him at all.
“That kind of poison… has no cure…”
She was talking to herself the whole time.
“No cure no cure no cure no cure no cure no cure no cure… it has no cure. There is no antidote at all.”
She repeated the words “no cure” over and over again.
And during that process, Muen saw the desire in her eyes almost condense into something tangible, as if it might spill out at any moment.
Was she… trying to convince herself?
“Except…”
A trace of clarity suddenly returned to Selicia’s eyes.
She pinned both of Muen’s hands down with all her strength and stared straight into his eyes.
For the first time, such a fierce expression appeared on her stunning face.
“Muen Campbell, this time… you win.
But I swear, I will make you repay this humiliation tenfold in the future!”
“Huh?”
What?
In the future?
Before Muen could recover, Selicia suddenly bent down sharply.
Her cherry-soft lips sealed him.
…
“Mmph…”
“Ah…”
“Heavens…”
“I cannot take it anymore!”
“This feeling is incredible…”
“I am going to heaven…”
“This Pachichi cake is just too delicious!”
Ariel stuffed huge bites of Pachichi cake into her mouth, a sweet fragrance flooding every corner of her mind.
She was utterly satisfied.
Because she had crammed in too much, her cheeks puffed out adorably like a hamster’s.
But she simply could not stop!
“You really do love Pachichi cake way too much.”
Beside her, Lia could not help commenting, “Be careful, or you will upset your stomach.”
“Eating Pachichi cake would never upset my stomach. To digest Pachichi cake, I specifically evolved a brand-new organ.”
Ariel patted her belly. “I shall call it the Pachichi Stomach. With a Pachichi Stomach, I do not have to fear eating as much as I want!”
As she spoke, while the nobles nearby were still engrossed in conversation, Ariel quietly pulled every last Pachichi cake from the long table over to her own side.
After a moment’s thought, Ariel picked one out and handed it to Lia. “Want one?”
Looking at the cute and delicious Pachichi cake, Lia was tempted.
Her family was only a low-ranking noble house, so she rarely had the chance to eat a premium dessert like Pachichi cake.
But when she lowered her head and looked at the towering mountains on her chest, the kind that made her shoulders ache whenever she walked, she hesitated for a moment before shaking her head.
“Forget it. I have gained weight again recently, so I should…”
“What is with you?!”
Ariel shoved the Pachichi cake into her own mouth and huffed in annoyance. “You are doing this again, are you not? You have no idea how blessed you are. Do you know my pain, you big milk cow?!”
“Wh- big milk cow is going too far!”
Lia flushed with embarrassment and indignation, but that only made her look even cuter, so cute that one could not help wanting to pinch her round little cheeks.
“Oh, so you still refuse to admit it, do you?”
Ariel’s ten fingers twitched nimbly as she pounced at Lia, her eyes gleaming.
“Let me teach you a lesson, you big milk cow. Hmph! Ha! What about this move?!”
“Wah… stop… that tickles, Ariel… there are so many people watching…”
“Is that not even better? That just makes me more excited. Take this, take this…”
“Uuu…”
The girls’ horseplay did not disturb the battle among the noble lords.
However, a few adolescent noble young masters could not help glancing over several extra times, their eyes darting about even as they cursed the girls under their breath for disgracing the nobility.
Then they stole a few more glances anyway.
“All right, stop fooling around.”
After messing around for a while, Lia finally slapped away Ariel’s wandering hands. Her cheeks slightly red, she shot Ariel a glance and said,
“By the way, were you not supposed to be looking for Princess Selicia? Why are you still here eating cake?”
“It is fine. I can look for Selicia later. It was not anything urgent anyway. I just wanted to ask her for some guidance on swordsmanship.
If I cannot do it this time, I will still have chances once we are back at the academy.”
“But I just saw Her Highness leave with Muen Campbell, and they still have not come back yet. Is that really all right?”
“I saw that too!”
Ariel frowned and puffed out her cheeks.
Just thinking about that Muen Campbell fellow annoyed her.
He only threw his weight around at the academy because of his family background, always making things difficult for her.
Most importantly, he was actually Princess Selicia’s betrothed. How was he worthy of her?
Princess Selicia is my prey!
“But it should be fine.”
Ariel quickly tossed that bit of displeasure out of her mind.
“At an occasion like this, there was probably no way for Princess Selicia to refuse when Muen Campbell invited her. Who told that damned Muen to have such a good father?”
“And you are not worried that Muen Campbell might try something improper with Her Highness?” Lia asked, blinking teasingly.
“Tch, give me a break. With Muen Campbell’s pathetic three-legged-cat kung fu, he cannot even beat me.”
Ariel curled her lips disdainfully.
“What could he possibly do to Her Highness? Drug her? Princess Selicia is so smart that before Muen Campbell could even think of trying something, she would have already pinned him to the ground and thoroughly ravaged him!”
