Chapter 117: The Fox Girl's Secret (1)
I thought that perhaps, in the heat of the moment, Yuliana might get swept up in her emotions and reveal her true feelings to me.
"I hate you. Someone like you, Oppa… I really hate you…."
"Yuliana. I don't exactly enjoy looking at you either."
"……Yeah. I understand. You're only playing along with me to save Bell-unni, Oppa."
"Right. Like you said before, if it weren't for the matter with Bell, I would have beaten you to death long ago."
"You really hated me that much, Oppa?"
"I didn't expect the suggestion to seal my power to come out of your mouth first. Even if the others thought it, you shouldn't have harbored such thoughts."
"Wow…. It looks like Aris-unni’s hunch was right. She said you might be eavesdropping on our conversations by borrowing the Demon Goddess's power…. But you know, Oppa. Why shouldn't I think that? Because I was clingy and said I liked you? Because I acted close to you every day, I should have stayed on your side until the end?"
But as if the time wasn't right yet, she didn't even make a gesture to wipe away the tears that were streaming down her face.
"Oppa, I can't do something so selfish…. If we just cleanly erase the existence of one knight named Choi Sihyeon from this world… everyone can live without having to worry about things like demonic energy…. I sincerely thought well of you, Oppa, and that’s why I tried to provide you with the option to remain a good knight to all the people of the South. Do you still not understand my heart…? Hmm…?"
She couldn't even look me straight in the eye, and even as her voice trembled, she continued to confess nothing but endless lies.
Our conversation came to an end shortly thereafter.
I simply watched in silence as Yuliana pulled her bowl toward her and continued her meal.
As if determined not to even glance at me, Yuliana kept her eyes fixed on the bowl, burying her face in it as she slowly licked up the semen.
The longer I watched her, the more complicated my thoughts became.
She doesn't hate me, nor does she despise me enough to want me dead.
In the first place, this woman had no intention of harming me or those around me.
Then why is she refusing to reveal her true heart?
Is it because she still likes me but doesn't want that feeling to be known?
That’s probably not it.
From the very first day we met, Yuliana had displayed an excessive amount of favorability toward me.
Because of that, my disappointment in Yuliana had grown slightly larger than it had for the other party members.
She must be well aware that I am greatly disappointed in her.
Yet, the reason she reacted this way must be because she has a clear objective.
Perhaps that was why.
I felt it was a stroke of luck that my Discernment skill was finally working properly.
If I were in a position where the skill didn't work on her at all and I was just watching her current reaction, I certainly would have grabbed her by the throat and pushed her hard long ago.
Since I had thought of Yuliana as a cunning fox mage from the start, I would have dismissed those tears and her confused reactions as an act, and I would have pressured her by any means necessary until she gave me a proper answer.
But now that it was clear that everything Yuliana said was a lie, there was no need to use such harsh methods.
If her ultimate hidden intention pointed to the exact opposite of what I desired, I had no intention of leaving this fox alone.
However, if a rift had formed in their relationship while I was away, and Yuliana had come to me against their wishes, then I needed to make the most of this fox.
'So, did you come all the way here to kill me on behalf of everyone?'
'…….'
Above all, the moment Yuliana, who had refused to open her mouth until the very end after hearing my last question, gave a small nod, the largest red aura I had ever seen from her began to flow out.
From the moment I saw that, the need to treat this fox harshly completely vanished.
She isn't just an ordinary person; she's a fox beastkin who prizes her purity more than her life.
Even though she knew through those around her that I was almost addicted to demonic energy, she came here of her own accord, leaving her sanctuary with no intention of killing me, and offered up her body.
And surprisingly, her feelings toward me—the man who fed her semen instead of food and forcibly engraved his own cock into her mind, which should only ever record one dick for a lifetime—remained unchanged.
Though the circumstances were very different from Bell's, and I didn't feel the slightest urge to make her my bitch.
Since I now knew for certain that there was sincerity in the actions Yuliana had shown me in the past.
'Oppa, is there anything you wanted to do if you got a girlfriend?'
'Hmm. I haven't really thought about it.'
'For me, I wanted to do something like that. The two of us walking around holding hands.'
'…Just that?'
'Heehee. It’s very modest, isn't it? But I'm a fox beastkin, not a human or an elf. From the perspective of a fox girl like me, such a modest thing is an incredibly grand dream. So, if there's a chance later, could you walk with me just once?'
I wanted to find out Yuliana's true intentions for sure.
"Follow me out when you're done eating. Yuliana."
"Huh…? Where are you taking me…?"
"Whether we like it or not, we have to face each other for the rest of our time here. Going for a walk might make things a bit better."
"……Just the two of us?"
I nodded.
"Only wear the clothes Seri gave you in the room. When we go out, come out naked. Understand?"
"……U-uh-huh."
Despite having shown her naked body all this time, Yuliana's face flushed bright red at the command to come out without clothes.
It was a reaction that would make anyone certain she was feeling a sense of shame.
Seeing Yuliana show a much more dramatic reaction than I expected, the thought occurred to me that perhaps this method might work.
*
For Yuliana, it was the first cock she had ever tasted in her life.
So, after being stopped by Seri from tasting it, she had regretted coming here for the first time.
It wasn't out of resentment, but because of a great sense of shame.
The single fact that she had shown Sihyeon her utterly lewd self weighed on her mind and bothered her all day.
Because of that, she even ended up losing sleep.
Of course, she was also distracted by constantly coming because of the egg vibrator stuck in her pussy, but even in the midst of that, worries about whether Sihyeon would remember her in a strange way constantly surfaced.
"……I must be a real fool. I'm already hated so much… why am I worrying about that?"
Regret no longer surfaced.
She had already hardened her heart from the moment she first decided to come here.
She knew well that once she put her plan into action, she could never remain the beloved younger sister to Sihyeon again, but she had to do it.
'Yuliana-nim. Are you really planning to leave?'
'Aris-unni, your face looks full of dissatisfaction. I guess you don't like my decision?'
'I don't. The opinion to seal Sihyeon-nim's power was one that first came from you. I only suggested adding a safety device to your method, but for you to react so violently…. It’s not like you.'
'Think whatever you want. No matter what you unnis think, I'm going to move according to my own will.'
'Why?'
'The opinion to seal Sihyeon-oppa's power was based on the condition that everyone's safety was guaranteed.'
'Yes. As you said, isn't that the only way to guarantee everyone's safety?'
'Let's be clear, Unni. Oppa was excluded from that.'
'Hmm. So in the end, you didn't like taking away Sihyeon-nim's freedom. But if the sacrifice of that one person can bring peace to everyone, wasn't that your way of doing things?'
'…….'
'Yuliana-nim. I'll suggest it again. Please make a wise judgment…….'
'Unni. I won't warn you twice. If you spout that pathetic nonsense one more time, know that it won't be here, but your family's house that will be blown away entirely.'
'……I'm disappointed. To think you would commit such a terrible act…. Were you only that kind of person?'
'Yeah. You misjudged me, Unni. I'm just a fox who's only worth that much. I'm going to see Oppa like this. So don't try to interfere with my business. If you even think about stepping in midway, this Order will vanish without a trace from that moment on, so you'd better be prepared.'
'I don't believe even you could accomplish such a thing.'
'Well, if you're curious, try moving yourself. But you know, don't you, Unni? I would even trade my soul to protect Sihyeon-oppa.'
'……You certainly were that kind of person.'
'Honestly, I don't care if you get hurt or not, but I'm only warning you in advance because I don't want to see innocent people in the Order die. You're the one who should make a wise judgment, Unni.'
'……I shall.'
She couldn't just sit back and watch Saintess Aris's ridiculous plan succeed.
For that purpose, she had come here personally and volunteered to be his prisoner, so she had to endure and keep enduring his hatred for the remaining time.
'I hate you. Someone like you, Oppa… I really hate you….'
Saying words that were the exact opposite of her true feelings was heartbreaking, but since she had succeeded somehow, she was certain there would be no problems in the future.
Or so she thought…….
"Ugh……♡"
Going for a walk with just the two of them was so embarrassing.
'Is this also… a date…?'
It was because a thought that didn't fit the situation at all had crossed her mind.
