Collapsing Mind
Seona recalled her last day with her every single day.
She thought about the woman she loved most.
The one who had given her body to the kidnapper.
The one who looked like the succubi now raping her.
The woman she was thinking about was Miel.
At first, the situation had been shocking, and later it had become unbearably painful.
She couldn't accept that Miel wouldn't abandon her, that the giving of her body to the kidnapper was a dream, and that being raped by the succubi who were Miel's sisters was all false.
She couldn't accept this nightmare-like reality.
Being raped by women wasn't honestly difficult.
Rather, the more she was raped every day and got accustomed to the pleasure, the greater the pain when memories of her resurfaced.
She endured this pleasure while waiting in a thread-like hope that Miel would come back to take her at any moment, waiting and waiting.
But now, it was the limit.
Every time she saw those succubi who resembled Miel, she kept recalling her.
And the more she was raped for too long, her mind numbed to pleasure, and she held those succubi who resembled her, she gradually missed her more.
And resentment towards her also grew.
The things the one who toyed with her and the kidnapper had done to her on her last day kept resurfacing.
Recently, her consciousness had been fluctuating.
Seeing the succubi who resembled her, she sometimes mistook them for Miel and called her name while crying.
Every time, the succubi looked at her with pity.
Now, it seemed that moments when her consciousness settled were more frequent.
Now, her eyes were closing again.
............
The Succubus Lord sighed as she saw the human male's mind gradually deteriorating.
It should have been thrilling revenge, but instead it left a strange feeling in her heart.
Before Miel came back, she was afraid that showing the male's insane state of being ravaged would make his mind shatter.
No.
The state of this male who was obsessed with Miel was strange.
The Succubus Lord was curious why the male was so obsessed with Miel.
So she reached out.
She put her hand on the male's head and began reading his memories.
And what the Lord felt was nothing but shock.
Traces of most of the male's memories being locked.
Even parts of memories being removed and false memories filled in.
The locked memories had been adjusted using Miel's unique pattern, so it was almost impossible to unlock them herself.
But just a little.
When she read the visible memories, something even more shocking happened.
On the day this male got married, he brought his wife-to-be, brainwashed the male who would become her husband in front of his wife, carved the Yin Crest on him, made him her husband, and raped him.
And the fact that she manipulated the mind of the male she had made her husband.
Finally, she distorted the male's memories and locked most of them, leaving no memories except those with her.
When she saw these three acts.
The three things Miel had done to this male completely ignored the succubi's rules.
Rather, it was beyond ignoring.
She committed acts completely against the rules.
The succubi's creed was not to harm or rape the person who would become their husband first.
Not to manipulate the memories of their husband.
And finally, the taboo of devouring the memories of another intelligent being.
This was an enormous act that should warrant severe punishment.
The act of herself raping another succubus's husband was also a taboo act.
But she had some reason, saying it was for revenge on the husband.
However, Miel had just done as she pleased with her heart's desire to treat this male as a toy.
She didn't know this fact and continued to do things close to torture to this male.
The fact that they had done something so regrettable.
If they had at least looked at the memories first...
Seeing this male who had been toyed with by Miel.
Her own husband came to mind.
However, this male was different from the husband who had approached Miel out of his own choice.
She should have known from the beginning when he lured her husband.
She shouldn't have looked the other way thinking he was young because he had become a changed husband.
She had toyed with his heart, lured her husband, and given him a lonely end.
And now she had turned this male's fate upside down.
From this moment, that woman was no longer her daughter.
It was useless to keep blaming Miel for the situation where Miel was absent.
She had to recover this male whose mind was breaking down as soon as possible.
The Succubus Lord finished her thoughts and was restoring Seona's memories.
With the feeling of a parent who had a failed daughter.
Without wiping away the tears, seeing the painful appearance of this male.
............
Seona felt good that the headache that had started after being brought here had disappeared completely.
It would be even better if there were no succubus sisters coming to rape her this morning.
The feeling was greater that she didn't want to think about Miel rather than the pain of her body when she was raped.
However, the one who entered this room, breaking her expectations, was the Succubus Lord who had ordered her to be raped.
The look in the Lord's eyes when she looked at her was not normal.
She started to back away slightly, thinking that the one who had been holding back and now appeared to rape her.
"Relax... I won't do such things anymore."
Seona was surprised by those words and asked the reason.
She didn't know what scheme the one who had ordered her to be broken and raped and left scribbles that looked like damage all over her body would suddenly act like she was sorry.
"What are you going to do now?... Then why did you do those things for so long..."
"I wanted to take revenge on Miel. However, you were just a puppet, not Miel's husband."
The truth that emanated from the Lord's heart.
Seona couldn't not notice the meaning of the words containing the truth.
It was the worry she had been thinking about while being raped and suffering for so long.
She had thought that she hadn't been abandoned by Miel, but that she had never been an important existence to Miel from the beginning.
The conclusion she had reached by repeatedly denying denial.
When she heard the truth of that from the mouth of the succubus who was estimated to be Miel's mother, she had no choice but to realize that all those thoughts were true.
"Ah... No, noona Miel... You will come to save me... And like before, just the two of us... Just the two of us..."
"Miel is the same age as you. She is not noona. Where did you meet Miel for the first time? Who brought you to the Demon Realm? Who was the woman who was originally next to you? Do those all ring a bell in your memory?"
The Succubus Lord read Seona's memories and asked questions like an attack to draw out contradictions in the empty memories because Miel hadn't properly finished.
"Ah... No... It's not possible!"
Seona grabbed her head in pain and writhed.
"You are nothing but Miel's toy, kid..."
Only sadness was on the face of the Lord looking at Seona.
The feeling she had felt back then when she recalled the husband who had given in to Miel surged up.
However, this male had suffered even worse things.
Since part of his mind and the largest fragment of his memories had been changed to false.
He had lost the most precious memories to Miel.
If the Miel who had swallowed that memory didn't return it, his mind would inevitably continue to deteriorate over time.
That's why she had stopped her daughters from raping this male.
Because this male was too pitiful who would have all the gears of fate worn out even if left alone.
Because he was just another pitiful soul who had been toyed with by Miel.
That's why she had made her daughters stop harming this innocent male any more.
Giving more pain to a male who would suffer in false memories for the rest of his short life was too cruel.
"Is there anything you want..."
The Lord had thought of fulfilling this male's wish as a reward 'as much as possible'.
"Then please send me back to noona Miel."
That was impossible.
Because if she sent him back, he would suffer even worse things than now, so sending this male back to Miel's arms was no different from the torture they had done.
It was like giving drugs to a drug addict who wants drugs, which is the opposite of the original meaning.
"That can't be... Ask for something else..."
"Nothing else... I don't want anything."
The Lord noticed how much this male's condition had deteriorated.
Normally, if his memories were not intact, he would have begged to be returned.
But this male was showing a demeanor that said he didn't need the truth as if all he had was memories with Miel.
Of course, even if asking to return memories, there was no way other than Miel directly unlocking the locked memories and returning the memories she had swallowed, so it was impossible.
"Then... Rest comfortably... If you need anything, one of my daughters will be waiting in front of this room. You can call her and have her bring what you need. It's something I wouldn't normally do to an inferior human, but it's the minimum courtesy to a male who has suffered damage to a failed daughter."
The Lord hid her sad expression and turned her head to leave the room.
The Lord who had read only the outer part of Seona's memories without knowing what had happened between the ravaging, Seona, and Miel, didn't know the proper facts and made up her own answer and told Seona a terrible truth as if it was the fact.
Perhaps if Miel and Yurin heard this fact, they would be surprised, but neither of them was here.
Miel, who had desperately stopped Seona's mind from collapsing due to Yurin, would be truly aggrieved if she heard this.
Nevertheless, Seona who couldn't know this fact saw the back of that Lord and shed tears over the cruel truth she had learned.
Unable to hide those tears, she started crying loudly, then soon stopped breathing and was sobbing.
She didn't want anyone in front of the room to see her pitiful state.
She cried hoping to escape this nightmare as soon as possible, then got tired and fainted.
The succubus who had already heard all the story in front of the room had her heart aching at Seona's crying sound.
At the same time, she regretted bringing Seona here in her heart.
