Chapter 109: A Rare Smile Indeed
"You lying bitch!"
Kaisen grabbed the blanket and tore it away from her, startling Elfie awake with his sudden appearance.
"W-wha--"
"Why the fuck would you tell her anything about that?"
Kaisen's anger intensified with each passing second.
"Wha-- Ka-kaisen-kun, wha-what are you talking ab--"
"Cut the bullshit, Elfie-san. Alice just came crying and screaming at me, accusing me of wanting to fuck you. Why the fuck would you tell her anything?"
Elfie took a deep breath and sighed heavily.
"About that... I... uh... I believe she deserves to know the truth."
She said nonchalantly, causing a vein to pop on Kaisen's forehead.
?!
"She deserves to know the truth? Ha ha. Are you fucking retarded? Because I'm trying to understand why would you tell her anything."
Elfie scuttled away until her back touched the wall of the cave, and Kaisen loomed over her like a demon.
"L-Like I said, everybody deserves to know the truth."
Elfie held her ground.
The situation grew more and more bizarre.
The Elfie he knew would have been shy and reserved, but the Elfie in front of him was alive with vivid expressions on her face.
'It's Alwyn, alright. He must have contacted her and told her to sow seeds of doubt between me and Alice. After all, he's still lusting after Alice.'
"Even to Lloyd, huh? Should we tell the truth to him too? I'm sure he would be happy to know that the person he loves has given a sloppy blowjob to his very own best friend."
Kaisen wore a triumphant smile, thinking he had her.
Lloyd was her only true ally in the group, and if he turned against her, she would be truly alone.
But what came out of her mouth made his eyes widen with complete surprise.
"Yeah, tell him too. I don't want to live a life as a liar. Better yet, I'll tell him myself. Admit to the mistakes I made."
'WHAT THE FUCK!!!'
Kaisen was shocked. Completely shocked. This wasn't Elfie at all.
"You bitch..."
Kaisen grabbed her neck and lifted her up as if she were a mere rag doll, pushing her against the wall.
"Tell me, Elfie, is Alwyn behind this?"
Kaisen's eyes turned red, and a dark aura began to form around him.
He was beyond furious. He could see her struggling in his grasp, and for a moment, he entertained the absurd idea of snapping her neck.
It was like a voice in his mind.
Her eyes reddened, her pale skin turning cold and bluish, and he noticed a hint of red in her eyes, as if they were about to bleed.
After a tense moment, he released his grip, and Elfie fell to the ground, coughing and wheezing.
Kaisen waited, his mind racing.
'Was Alwyn behind this? Fuck! I'll deal with her later, but first, I need to make sure Alice is safe. I don't want Alwyn to take advantage if he was indeed behind this.'
"Once a slave, always a slave."
Kaisen spat before leaving the cave.
Elfie watched his retreating figure, her hands on her neck as she struggled to breathe.
...
Kaisen had traveled straight toward the pool where Alice was, based on his system map.
Her emotional status was the same as before—it hadn't changed at all.
He suddenly met Sable and Maximus halfway to the pool, sliding to a stop in front of them.
"Where's Alice?! Why aren't you guys with her? What happened?!"
He shouted, grabbing Sable's shoulders.
Maximus looked bewildered by the scene.
"Ka-Kaisen-san, calm down. Alice-san was bathing at the pool. We didn't want to peek at her, certainly."
Sable blushed, a rare sight. It was almost comical, considering she had been the one eating Alice's pussy and drinking their cum just the night before.
Kaisen wanted to tease her but refrained, turning to run toward the pool. Sable blocked his path, smiling sheepishly.
"Come on, Kaisen-kun, give the woman her space. Just let her body rest for a while—"
Slap~ Grab~
"What?! Would you replace her and become my cum dump, Sable?"
Kaisen growled as he slapped Sable's ass and followed it with a tight grab on one of her cheeks.
Sable shuddered and moaned loudly, something she had never done before.
Maximus's jaw dropped, stunned by her reaction.
"Kaisen-kun, pl-please, not here."
Sable grabbed his chest, her hands trembling.
"Fuck off, Sable. Maximus, take your fucking fiancée away before I tear off her slutty tunic and fuck her right here like a whore while making you watch her degradation."
Kaisen growled. Both Sable and Maximus had scared looks in their eyes and fled the scene.
Kaisen ran towards the pool and saw Alice sitting near the edge, her tunic still intact without any wetness.
'I thought she was bathing? Or maybe she just said she was about to take a bath to the knights.'
He checked her emotional state and was fairly surprised.
[Emotional status: Peaceful]
'What the fuck happened in the last few minutes, huh? What could she have seen to make her emotional status this peaceful?'
It was a complete turnaround.
'Wait, don't tell me she's thinking about murdering me and Elfie?!'
He shook his head.
'That's unlikely. If that were the case, her emotional state would show something about being extreme, psycho, possessive, or murderous thoughts. Wait. What if she's already planned it and is just waiting for the right time?'
He was overthinking, but he couldn't help it.
"Are you gonna stand there and watch me, Kaisen-kun? Planning to ambush me, pin me down, and have your way with me? Is that what you wanna do, huh, Kaisen-kun?"
Alice suddenly spoke without turning around, her voice calm and serene.
'Shit. She really has planned to kill Elfie and me.'
"Just wanted to make sure—"
"I was okay, huh? Of course, I'm okay, Kaisen-kun. You know why? Because I believe in you."
She finally turned around and smiled at him.
It was a smile that was entirely new to her, a smile of someone who was at peace, like someone who had come to terms with something big.
'Has she really planned to kill me?'
Kaisen wondered, feeling a shiver run down his spine.
