Chapter 99: Lewd Alice
Beneath the midnight sky shrouded in a thin mist, the Silver Dusk Palace stood grand yet silent. Pale moonlight seeped through the stained-glass windows, illuminating the room of Alice, the frail duchess's daughter. Her weak body lay on the soft, silk-covered mattress, but her mind was far from at peace.
"It's all King Ren's fault. If only he hadn't had s-sex in my residence, I wouldn't be this restless. His actions constitute sexual harassment, don't they?"
Alice took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. She had repeatedly closed her eyes, hoping to fall asleep, but every time her eyelids shut, that image reappeared—Rokuhara Ren and Hayasaka Ai having sex in the room she had provided for them.
As a duchess's daughter raised with strict etiquette, Alice had never imagined witnessing such a scene firsthand. The sex education she had received was merely rigid theory on paper, and although she had secretly watched pornographic videos, it was all incomparable to what she had seen with her own eyes.
"Today, King Ren defeated three Heretic Gods in a row—Karna, Atlas, and Thoth."
"As the God of Wisdom and Knowledge, his mind is his weapon. Thoth possesses near-limitless knowledge of anything and everything in the world. He has almost infinite intelligence and knowledge. So it's only natural that King Ren obtained a Divine Authority from Thoth related to magic."
Alice quickly deduced the reason for the magic barrier in Ren's room, which prevented her from peeking with her magic.
The previous night, she had successfully peeked at Ren and Hayasaka's activities using simple surveillance magic. The barrier hadn't been there then, and she could see everything without their knowledge. But tonight, something had changed. When she tried again, her magic hit an invisible wall—a powerful magic barrier, likely erected by Ren after realizing her presence.
If Alice forced its destruction, Ren would be alerted.
"Haaah... Campione's intuition is so cunning, King Ren probably sensed me secretly watching him. That's why he put up a barrier in his room."
Alice bit her lower lip, frustrated and filled with uncontrollable curiosity. She created a spirit body in exchange for her independent action. After all, her physical body had been weak since birth; even just sitting up in bed required the help of a maid.
