"...Why that human?"
Clearly, it was the Clan Head who called.
Why had Ryu Si-hwan come?
"Ryu, Ryu Si-hwan... That guy!"
Eun-jeong, who'd been clinging to her leg, jerked her face up in shock.
Why the hell was that human here? And at this hour of the early morning, no less.
"N-No way...!"
Eun-jeong glared up at Yeonseo with resentful eyes.
No matter how she thought about it, it didn't make sense unless Yeonseo had called him.
But Yeonseo hadn't called Sihwan either.
"Come in."
The door opened the moment she gave permission.
Sihwan strode in with his usual majestic swagger, and Bari followed demurely behind him.
His face looked totally refreshed, like he wasn't tired at all.
"Hey. Eun-jeong, how's it going."
"...."
"...The first thing you say after coming into my house is about Eun-jeong?"
Mentioning the slave before his girlfriend.
As expected, no manners.
"Why worry about that stuff."
Sihwan hopped over and wrapped his arm around Yeonseo's waist.
Pook.
Her voluptuous body pressed against him.
The tickling scent in his nose, combined with her cheeky, haughty face, was getting him unnecessarily excited.
"Hmph. Why'd you come?"
"Shouldn't it be 'how'd you know to come'?"
"How'd you know and come?"
"So-ri told me. That Eun-jeong was here."
"Hmm~ So that's why you came?"
"No way. I came to eat you. She's just a bonus."
"Such a vulgar perv."
She shot him a slight side-eye, but she wasn't really in a bad mood.
For Ryu Si-hwan, that was pretty sweet talk.
For a moment, she even thought maybe this guy was finally improving.
"Fuck... You fucking bastards...!"
Ppudeuk ppudeuk.
The sound of teeth grinding came from somewhere.
The source was Eun-jeong, still hanging onto Yeonseo's leg.
The groveling, fawning expression was gone. Now, only a venomous glare that could chew through steel plate remained, burning with rage.
"Oh my. You talking to us?"
"Then who else is here besides you two?"
She'd dropped the polite speech entirely.
These two bitches had never intended to free her anyway.
Begging and apologizing wouldn't work anymore.
So no need to bend.
"This girl's lost it again."
"That's you, you fucking bitch."
Spitting double curses, she peeled away from Yeonseo and backed toward the window, looking ready to jump out any second.
If things went south, she'd punch through the wall and bolt.
But there was something she had to do first.
"But why're you here? Weren't you sleeping with So-ri? You were clinging to her like it was your last night or something."
"Shut up. How dare a filthy human wag your tongue!"
"I decide if you open your mouth or not. Not some lowlife like you."
"Shut the fuck up!!"
Fwhoosh!
The teapot came flying.
At a seriously fast speed.
It grazed past Eun-jeong and smashed into the wall, shattering right through it.
"Not running? Wasn't that your plan?"
"...What's your game."
"Game? This is my last act of mercy."
Yeonseo smiled faintly.
Even if she escaped from here, Eun-jeong would get caught no doubt, and then an even more miserable fate awaited.
Personally, Yeonseo preferred that. Hope followed by despair. That twisted expression from the horrific gap.
If Eun-jeong ran from here, it'd open the path to the abyss.
"Wow. Our Yeonseo's got a big heart. Big tits too."
Molkang.
"Hik!...What the hell!"
Slap.
Yeonseo smacked away the hand groping her freely, while Sihwan kept persistently fondling every which way.
The perfect picture of a prissy girlfriend and a horny boyfriend rubbing it in.
How do you think that looked to Eun-jeong?
'Disgusting fucks.'
Nausea rose at their ugly, twisted desires.
"Hey, Ha Yeonseo."
"Don't call me by name. That's not a name for trash like you."
"Fuck off, you fucking bitch."
Pfft.
Yeonseo laughed.
She subtly pushed away the still-clinging Sihwan and threw a proper sneer at Eun-jeong too.
"The bitch who was licking between my toes just a bit ago, got some balls now? Too hopeless?"
"......Do what I say."
"Why should I?"
"Or you're all fucked."
Yeonseo tilted her head, and Sihwan reacted to the 'you all.'
Why were 'you all' dragged into this?
"If you don't let me go, I'll tell that Yu Ina or Yuna or whoever about you two cheating."
"...."
"Heh heh. If you lucked into marrying a 『Noblesse』, just play house quietly. Same for you, Ha Yeonseo. How do you fuck a human? And a married one at that. You filthy slut. Think the Yu Family will just sit still??"
Indeed.
A finisher with real punch.
Even Yeonseo flinched—it'd cause massive ripples. Especially if the Head of the Yu Family found out......
"Tell her. Doesn't matter. She'll find out eventually anyway."
"...What?"
But in front of Ryu Si-hwan, that heavy blow had no effect.
"She already knows I'm banging around everywhere."
"What...."
"Told her when we got married I had no intention of being satisfied with just one."
"...!"
"So it won't have the effect you think. She just kinda hates me playing with the Ha Family."
Ryu Si-hwan had built a harem right from the start of his marriage.
No wonder even Yu Ina had given up.
The most she'd added was 'as long as it's not the Ha Family....' But Ryu Si-hwan broke even that without a care. It wasn't an agreement anyway—it was a notification.
"...She hates you playing with the Ha Family?"
Eun-jeong was speechless.
The situation was too absurd.
Yeonseo was the one who actually countered.
Everything else was fine, but she hates the Ha Family play? What the hell did that mean.
"Oh. You're Ha Family, right."
"...."
"Anyway, if you wanna go tell her, go ahead. Perfect. You can tell her for me and save me the trouble."
"Ha... F-Funny... Don't fuck with me!! That's bullshit!!!!"
Eun-jeong snapped back to reality and denied it.
A human marrying a 『Noblesse』 and laying down terms like that? No way in hell.
"Where else? It's with me. Oh, and while you're at it, pass it on to Tae-hee too."
"...."
Bluff?
Or real?
Eun-jeong's calculations got messy.
Her head felt like it was burning white, her legs trembling.
This wasn't it.
Things couldn't go down like this.
"What? Not going?"
"F-Fuck... FUCK!!!"
Checkmate.
Even if Sihwan was lying, it didn't matter.
Telling for real was never an option anyway.
It was only useful as a 'threat'—the moment she actually went and spilled, her weapon vanished.
Total deadlock.
Nothing she could do.
"But, you made her lick your feet? Our Yeonseo's got some nasty tastes. Just like the villainess rumors."
"Why? Wanna suck mine?"
"Nah. Pussy yes, feet no."
Not even a slave.
"Oh. But making her suck might be fun."
"Our Eun-jeong sucked pretty good. Felt damn nice."
"Oh. Wonder if she'd suck mine good too?"
"Pussy's one thing, why drag dick into it?"
"There's that thing, you know, the whatsit."
"Huh?"
Crude banter flying back and forth.
Eun-jeong watching with anxious eyes.
'Fuck... What do I do? Running's all that's left now...!'
Every plan she'd prepared was smashed.
Only escape remained, but even that was way too risky.
She'd almost certainly get caught, and if she did... She didn't even want to think about what came after.
Then.
"Master, why don't you leave Eun-jeong to me?"
"Huh? Bari, you a lesbian too?"
"...No, that's not it...."
"Oh. Ohhh. Right. You'd need her too."
"Thank you."
Bari stepped forward.
"Eun-jeong-ssi, care to have a little chat with me?"
"...Ha. Now even a doll's talking to me."
"There's a cozy spot underground."
"What? You'll let me out?"
"Yes. Master should play with Yeonseo-ssi. Hehe."
Grinning slyly, she approached Eun-jeong step by step.
"Yeah. Good girl, our Bari."
What a thoughtful girl, stepping aside herself for Master's proud daily routine.
Sihwan, moved, kneaded Yeonseo's ass.
Kkok.
"Eek!"
"Keep groping me in front of people and I'll fuck your ass."
"......Sorry."
Such a scary big sis vibe.
He apologized, probably for the first time ever.
Couldn't handle getting his ass reamed.
"Uwaaaaaah!!"
Meanwhile, Eun-jeong, out of moves, tore at her hair and screamed in agony.
Her painstakingly built career crumbling to dust, her life ending—it was that pathetic.
Screaming in this nightmarish reality, she attempted one final tantrum.
"Die, all of youuuu!!"
Nobling manifesting.
Countless Artifacts deploying. Each one dealing lethal damage on a graze, piercing solid buildings or metal like sandcastles.
But unfortunately, her opponents were Ha Yeonseo and Bari.
Yeonseo alone was the granddaughter of the massive Ha Family.
While ordinary Noblesse could only use Coding to create new Artifacts and grant special abilities, skills, or power, giant families like Yu or Ha used 'Writing' to Read object data and rewrite it as they pleased.
The power difference was heaven and earth.
Even if they created similar Artifacts, the giant family heirs could overlay them, unmatched in raw power.
And Bari was,
"Putting on a show?"
A being who could even throw down with the Ha Family's Clan Head.
