Chapter 153: The Master’s Will
“I… fell for it? How is that… possible?!”
The Forest Elf has the ability to be poison-proof, and Nia didn’t believe her opponent could produce a seduction poison stronger than hers.
Not to mention just tasting it or taking a hit; she could drink the seduction poison like water and still be fine.
“Don’t you get it yet? It’s not poison; it’s an illusion,” Leanna stepped forward, squatted down, and meaningfully winked at her.
“The moment you made eye contact, the illusion started working.”
Among all illusion-type abilities, eye techniques are the strongest and the hardest to defend against.
Of course, Yuriah’s Illusion Magic Eye doesn’t drag the victim into their deepest desires like Charm; it needs to create an illusion instead.
This requires an understanding of the other person’s psyche.
However, Leanna tried it casually and was surprised by how effective it was.
“Looks like the pure elf nightingale actually wants to be treated this way.”
“You… Ha…” Nia shuddered all over, and her angry outburst turned into gasps.
With one eye seeing Leanna’s sinister face, and the other eye, Roy.
So many Roys!
The immersive illusion left Nia utterly powerless to resist.
These Roys surrounded her like the gentlest Servants, softly kissing her neck, ears, waist, thighs, and every inch of her, yet not going too far, causing her to tremble and gasp, her chubby legs shaking.
Too, too stimulating… No, too abominable!
Who wants to be treated like this?!
Love happens gradually: first holding hands, then kissing, little by little. This shameless stuff, she couldn’t…
“Mmm~!”
Leanna watched the elf girl singing sweetly like a nightingale and let out a laugh like a witch: “Tsk tsk, how embarrassing.”
“I wonder what Roy would think if he saw his pure little elf girlfriend drooling all over herself…”
Halfway through, Leanna paused.
Wait, if Roy sees this, wouldn’t it satisfy her fantasy right away and make it easier for her?
Thinking of this made Leanna feel displeased.
So she leaned down, whispering in Nia’s ear, changing her words: “Just enjoy the comfort of this fantasy here.”
“As for me, I need to go keep the real person company. Oh, and I’m taking these Adventurers with me, so don’t worry; feel free to entertain yourself.”
“You jerk… Ah~!”
Nia had just gotten up when she saw the Roy in the illusion intensify his actions, and she slumped back to the ground, her fierce curses turning into whimpers of shame.
Like a bird soaked and muddy, she couldn’t get up.
All she could do was lie there in humiliation, watching the black-skirted witch turn and leave.
——————————
“Both troubles solved; I need to hurry back.”
Leanna breathed a sigh of relief but quickly grew tense again.
She could delay them for a moment but couldn’t stop them forever.
This was a long battle.
Before they obstruct her, she must fully enter Roy’s heart and establish their relationship. By then, even if Roy is taken away, he would still think of her.
But if she fails to get Roy’s complete acceptance first, they would have him under tight watch and might whisper some sweet nothings, cutting off her chances forever.
Just ten minutes more—no, even just five minutes, and she could succeed!
But at that moment, a blinding white light and horrifying extraordinary fluctuations flashed from the direction of the villa.
Did someone sneak in?
Aside from Nia Molly, was there someone else?
Leanna hurried back to the villa like a shadow.
The garden filled with tropical plants was the last line of defense before Roy’s room.
One Sequence 7 and three Sequence 8 were left here, which was Leanna’s last ace up her sleeve. Even if she encountered someone like Charlotte or Nia, who were top-tier Sequence 7, she could at least buy some time.
However, the scene before her made Leanna’s expression extremely grim.
In just three or four minutes since the fighting began, the original guards had all fallen.
And in the center of the garden, the only one still standing was a Blonde Girl in a maid outfit wielding a steel sword.
Leanna felt desperate; that was Roy’s exclusive maid, Alice.
A girl as calm and elegant as a golden retriever but who blooms warm only in front of Roy.
But now, in the faint moonlight, any chill from the cold glint was overshadowed by the sharpness in her light blue eyes.
Like a trained hunting dog, filled with killing intent, but in no rush to reveal her wild side, she sharpened her claws, waiting for the perfect opportunity.
In Leanna’s eyes, she felt like a beacon; the aura of a low-sequence extraordinary being was just a spark.
Sequence 7 shone like a candle but was far inferior to her; only the Lionheart Princess and the Forest Elf had the potential to threaten her.
However, Alice was even more special.
Though only Sequence 7, her extraordinary aura was close to Sequence 6, almost just a thread away.
Even a golden-blooded lineage wouldn’t have such a unique ability.
There was only one thing Leanna knew about such a special existence — Roy’s False King.
Really, every girl around her junior was trouble.
“Miss Alice, long time no see.”
“Miss Leanna, could you please tell me where Master is?” Alice’s voice was very flat.
“Roy is in the room on the second floor, but he can’t go with you. Tonight, he is mine,” Leanna replied with a cheerful smile.
Alice’s pupils trembled.
She recalled the story from “The Gray Maid.”
The Blonde Girl glared at the brown-haired witch; her originally gentle and indifferent tone finally showed a hint of coldness.
“You are indeed a wicked woman.”
“Just like the witch in ‘The Gray Maid’, deceiving the Master, taking the Master away, and unwilling to let go.”
Leanna looked lost for a moment: “‘The Gray Maid’…”
“That’s not wrong. I really am willing to do anything to get him, just like a witch.”
Alice’s voice turned colder: “The Master has Charlotte and Nia; that’s enough. He doesn’t need you at all!”
At the girl’s rebuke, Leanna sensed a clue and narrowed her eyes in delight: “Your words are a bit strange.”
“How can you say Roy doesn’t need me?”
Alice paused, momentarily at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, Leanna kept pressing.
“Didn’t you see? My junior came to me willingly. He willingly left the Lionheart Princess and the Forest Elf to travel with me.”
“That… that was just you deceiving the Master…”
Leanna raised her voice, drowning out the little maid’s murmurs: “Even so, that is still his intention.”
“Miss Alice, don’t forget, you are just his maid. As a maid, you shouldn’t go against the master’s will, right?”
The witch’s laugh came like a cold black wind, making Alice’s heart tremble as she froze in place.
If the master really wanted to abandon everyone and be with Leanna, should she really stop him?
