Chapter 255: Tell me the Truth

"Can you release me already?" Juliet begged Zen once the spanking stopped.

Zen pondered for a while before shaking his head, "Not a chance, I'm afraid you might try something cheeky to escape from my grasp if I release you."

Juliet was rendered speechless as she expected Zen would let her go after some punishment.

"A-Are you trying to rape me?" Juliet cried loudly, hoping to make Zen release her by saying stuff like that.

And she continued, "I-I'm still a virgin… you cannot do this to me o-otherwise, Madam Evie would definitely not forgive you."

Meanwhile, Zen held a deadpan expression as he got only one thought about Juliet's behavior currently.

She has completely lost her mind to utter dumb things like raping her

"Stop spouting nonsense and promise to not try something fishy then I shall release you," Zen said after pondering for a moment.

As long as Juliet was willing to cooperate with him then he wouldn't mind using the gentle approach. After all, he can always go back to punishing her thoroughly with the platinum card if she tried to resist or run away.

"I promise to not struggle so please release me already. I don't feel comfortable at all with my stomach laying down on your lap," Juliet hurriedly agreed as she wished to sit properly.

Currently, her butt is still raised upward for Zen to feast on and she could feel her ample breast touching his knee.

Being exposed like this for the first time was not something Juliet enjoyed. 

Sometime later, Zen deactivated the platinum card after teasing Juliet a bit more before releasing her.

Once Juliet gained control of her body again, she sighed in relief as she sat down next to Zen with a bit of nervousness in her.

"You don't have to be so nervous… I promise I won't do anything to you until I get my information," Zen smiled evilly as he rubbed his hand together, almost like he was a villain playing with a captured woman.

Juliet twitched her mouth slightly and said, "You can drop the act about trying to do something to me… I already promised to tell you everything I know."

"Tch, no fun," Zen scoffed at Juliet for not role-playing with him.

Since Juliet didn't want to fool around with him, Zen decided to get right into the main point.

"Evie… what's her true identity and what's her motive in the Jade Kingdom?" Zen asked solemnly as he wished to know every little detail about Evie's plan.

Juliet pondered for a while before shaking her head, "Honestly… I have no clue about Madam Evie's true identity except for the fact that every noble, including the empress in the Jade Kingdom, seemed to be afraid of her."

And she continued, "As for her motive in the Jade Kingdom… I really don't know besides her operation in the Palace Moon Restaurant for fun or a passing time for her."

Juliet answered everything honestly but her answer was no worse than not answering at all. 

Hence, Zen was a bit irritated and asked in a fierce expression, "Tell me the truth."

He believed that Juliet is still hiding something from him but Juliet could only show a defeated expression.

She has given out all the intel she knew and even added her own inference about Evie's mysterious background.

"I'm really serious and I'm not hiding anything else from you. Do you think I would want to risk my butt and even my purity?" Juliet rebuked as she directly closed her eyes and let Zen do whatever he wanted since she can't even escape from his grasp.

Zen stared solemnly at Juliet before asking Cecilia secretly for advice if she was really telling the truth or lying.

Not even a second later, Cecilia merely replied, "I don't know but you can fuck her mind crazy to see if she's really hiding something."

Zen sighed softly at her sarcastic remark and gave up asking Cecilia for advice.

"Then, let me ask you another question. Why are you working at the Gambling Aristocrat out of every place possible?" 

"I didn't want to work here at all but Madam Evie ordered me to and has already arranged a manager position for me." Juliet shrugged her shoulders, shifting all the blame to Evie without any hesitation.

"It seemed like you really got nothing useful," Zen gave up interrogating her and Juliet breathed a sigh of relief until she heard his next sentence.

"I guess I should just fuck both your holes crazy for wasting my time and as revenge for being related to the labyrinth incident," Zen said wickedly as his hand slowly touched her thighs, sending a chill down Juliet's bone.

Juliet paled as she hurriedly begged for mercy. "Please don't do this Zen. You can obtain my body anytime you please since you have the platinum card but if you do this… then you can never obtain my heart and soul."

"This is why I hate women like you, always coming up with the greatest excuse to get away," Zen started laughing like a maniac when he realized Juliet's potential in negotiation.

Her words seemed to be like a devil whisper, one that can stop a person's temptation or action in wanting to do something.

"Whatever, I'm just joking about wanting your body since I still don't feel anything related to the word 'love' in you," Zen stood up as he prepared to leave, shocking Juliet on how easy he gave up.

"Y-You're not going to enjoy my body?" Juliet shouted unconsciously as she expected him to really fuck her for being useless.

Zen didn't bother turning his head around as he opened the door and said, "For a woman like you who has to work for someone mysterious yet has no information about… It's just sad at that point since you're no different than a puppet."

Afterward, Zen exited the area without hearing Juliet's response since he no longer cared about finding out Evie's identity.

He would simply need to talk it out with her since doing things behind the scenes was never his forte nor does he have any interest in playing mind games.

Being direct is the fastest solution in dealing with every problem.

Zen stretched his body slowly when he got outside of the Gambling Aristocrat, almost like he was refreshed after being suffocated inside.

"Ai~ the environment inside the Gambling Aristocrat is really not suitable for me," Zen mumbled softly as he decided to go back to the Peace Blossom Court.

As for the spirit stones that he won from the Gambling Aristocrat, Zen believed Juliet would quickly gather enough money to pay him back.

Not because she was afraid of him but the fact that she wanted to make sure Zen wouldn't expose her for revealing Evie's identity.

Sometime later, Zen re-entered the imperial court, this time without any hindrance or blockage from the imperial guards.

Zen didn't mind that there are no longer any fools seeking death as he calmly walked toward the Peace Blossom Court.

"Halt, you are not allowed to enter!"

Suddenly, a loud female voice echoed as she fired a magic spell in front of Zen, just barely an inch from hitting his feet.

Zen smiled bitterly at this treatment and asked, "What's wrong with me entering this time, Lynette?"

Lynette slowly appeared in front of Zen with her usual maid uniform. 

Afterward, she raised her wand up and said, "According to Princess Krista's order, you are not allowed to enter the Peace Blossom Court as of this moment."

Zen raised his eyebrow in surprise when he realized it was Krista Dragoon that blocked access to him.

'What did I do wrong this time?' Zen questioned inwardly as he recalled Krista Dragoon left happily and allowed him to have a nice little chat with Juliet.

Meanwhile, Lynette glared at Zen fiercely and shouted, "A womanizer like you do not deserve the love of Princess Krista. You should just keep your filthy and disgusting thing in between your legs to some other women and stop pestering Princess Krista."

Zen started laughing as he couldn't contain his laughter any longer from Lynette's outburst.

"Hahaha, this is so funny… you're telling me to use my filthy things on other women when you don't even know that your lovely Princess Krista has already enjoyed it once." Zen smiled evilly as he boasted in front of Lynette.

Lynette was shocked to hear Zen talking about fucking Krista Dragoon as she directly attacks Zen without any warning.

"For smearing Princess Krista, death is a small punishment for you," Lynette shouted in anger as she refused to believe Zen had already taken Krista Dragoon's purity.

Zen glanced at the incoming magic spell with a nonchalant attitude as he no longer had the mood to play around with her.

"My lovely undead soldiers, hurry up and detain her," Zen ordered and the undead that was hidden inside Lynette's shadow quickly appeared as they pin her down.
