Chapter 28: Planting the Bad Idea Like a Good Boyfriend Always Does
What a good, painful night. Today, I woke up to the smell of corpses in the street and my back completely wrecked, no need to say who was responsible for that.
Anyway, I’m getting dressed again, wanting to vividly engrave what happened yesterday in my memory.
Ravenna’s behavior changed, she’s not clinging to me like yesterday.
In fact, I think she’s embarrassed because the alcohol wore off and asked for all sorts of intense things last night. I never thought that someone like her would have such a wild side.
I used to think she was more the dominating type or into weird fetishes, when in reality her preference is for primal desires and pain. Seriously, the whole thing was so intense that my neck still itches from that magic rope pulling at my throat.
Well, it’s not like I can judge, I enjoyed it. By the way, where did these clothes I’m wearing come from...? Oh, Leonhardt’s... ugh.
I’ll buy new ones before going out from here, the burn the rest so there’s no proof I ever wore his threads.
I stretch my arms high, sighing and washing my face with dirty water from the tap in the bathroom. Ravenna is still getting ready. She even said "thank you" when we woke up because I didn’t ruin her tights.
It would be better start to think with my own head than with my best friend because even after a good fuck, I’m still fucked. Philomeu and this group of Libertarians said we’d face the consequences once we left the Scorn, which means probable assassination or late-night chases.
I wouldn’t doubt we’re being watched right now, even... I just want to understand why he didn’t do anything back then.
I mean, Ravenna praised me earlier, saying I made the king believe my words. And since we know each other and I didn’t join those guys little group, the probability of them sending someone to chop off my head is high.
If this witch is a pawn and I threaten his position, it would be easy to get rid of both of us and avoid a bigger problem. What the hell is going on in that guy’s head?
