The Delicate Female Lead Only Wants to be Loved by the Villainous Young Ladies

Adele and “Dorothy” stood before the sea of flowers, hesitant to take the next step. Adele had reason to believe that if there truly was a treasure buried in the Blood Secret Realm, it could only be here. But the giant mithril cross in the distance, and the woman praying before it, dead or alive, were too eerie. So, even if Adele had the desire, she didn’t have the courage to approach. She could only look expectantly at “Dorothy” beside her. Or rather... at Azathoth.

Azathoth seemed to be observing and analyzing the environment. Then, she lived up to expectations and manipulated Dorothy’s body, walking towards the depths of the sea of flowers. Perhaps there was something she wanted there. Or something she wanted to know. Despite being an outer god, Azathoth seemed to have some understanding of this world. At least, she must know something about the Blood Secret Realm.

Otherwise, she shouldn’t have known about the folded space, shouldn’t have known about this place. Thinking from this perspective, the reason why Azathoth signed a contract with Dorothy... was it really just because she recognized Dorothy, who had the bloodline of the Black Emperor? Or did she have other motives, and signing a contract with Dorothy was just a means to achieve that goal?

“...” Adele couldn’t help but worry about Dorothy. As expected, strength gained through one’s own training was the most reliable. Relying on others’ charity... would only make one controlled by others. In the end, one would lose control of themselves. Just like how Dorothy was now possessed by Azathoth. If the possession had no time limit... wouldn’t it be the same as “body snatching”!?

Adele’s scalp tingled at her own thoughts. Her heart was definitely biased towards Dorothy. So, after Azathoth’s possession ended... she would definitely warn Dorothy! At least before Azathoth gained Adele’s complete trust.

Dorothy had to rely on her own strength. Otherwise... she might follow in the footsteps of many Subordinate Bloodkin in history. They all chose to sacrifice their lives to summon otherworldly subordinates for various reasons, perhaps for revenge, perhaps for destruction... But perhaps some of them weren’t voluntary, but were bewitched by their subordinates after a long period of interaction, which led them to summon them into this world.

Or rather, not “summon,” but “descend.” Summoning was the third tier ability of Subordinate Bloodkin, after “Blessing” and “Possession.”

This ability ensured that the Bloodkin could summon the phantom of an otherworldly subordinate while conscious, unlike Possession, where the Bloodkin’s consciousness wasn’t guaranteed, temporarily giving their body to the subordinate. And the final Advent meant summoning the true body of the otherworldly subordinate into this world at a great cost, often their life. “Summoning” had a time limit. But “Advent” was permanent, representing them completely breaking through the barriers between worlds and arriving in this world.

It was unknown if she sensed something, but Azathoth suddenly turned around and looked at Adele, making the girl wave her hands repeatedly. “Wah! I, I didn’t do anything, I didn’t think anything!”

“...” Azathoth remained silent. But she seemed to see Adele’s fear. She walked over and suddenly held Adele’s small hand, their fingers interlocked.
