PHA – Chapter 193 – This Cat is Hopeless
When talking about Alice’s pet, the first thing that came to Hatter’s mind was the Milu Rabbit Alice always carried around her waist.
Initially, Hatter had suspected Alice of animal abuse when the reports he received mentioned the Milu Rabbit remaining unconscious for long periods. Worried that this would attract the attention of animal protection agencies, he informed the intelligence department to keep a closer eye on Alice’s interactions with her Milu Rabbit.
However, he quickly dismissed his worries after learning that Alice’s Milu Rabbit would strangely try to knock itself unconscious after waking up. Obviously, there was something wrong with this Milu Rabbit’s head, and Alice had nothing to do with it staying unconscious all the time.
On the contrary, rather than abusing the Milu Rabbit, Alice was actually keeping it safe. After all, if this Milu Rabbit were to knock itself unconscious out in the wild, it would definitely become the meal of some beast sooner or later.
Because of this strange Milu Rabbit, Alice had also developed a name for herself. When one mentioned Alice’s pet, one would immediately think of this Milu Rabbit.
However, outside most people’s knowledge, Alice had gotten herself a new pet recently. This new pet was incredibly strange and unfathomable. Few people knew about this pet’s existence even in the March Academy. At most, only a few people had noticed some clues.
Of course, with the Gryffin Kingdom’s intelligence department’s high work efficiency, they quickly discovered the identity of Alice’s new pet and reported it to Catherine, the king’s Royal Guard Captain. Then, Catherine subsequently reported this finding to Hatter.
…
Setting aside Hatter’s reaction after learning of this information, over on at the March Academy, Alice was currently having a friendly interaction with her new pet.
“Have you passed on my message?”
Alice was currently sitting on a vaulting box inside the gym warehouse as she asked Ciel about the negotiation process with the catkin tribes. While doing so, she had her left leg crossed over her right leg, and her right foot rested on Ciel’s face.
Alice honestly felt a little frustrated by this situation. Although she had indeed felt a sense of ecstasy when she bullied Ciel previously, she quickly discovered that compared to her sadistic tendencies, Ciel’s masochistic tendencies grew at a much quicker rate.
After only a little over a week, Ciel had already undergone a frightening transformation. Although she maintained her smiling face when conversing with others, she would wear only two expressions when she was with Alice in private: a cold expression to express her disdain toward Alice and a euphoric expression when Alice was stepping on her.
To make matters worse, unless Alice was stepping on Ciel, the catkin would thoroughly refuse to have a proper conversation with her. So, even though it looked incredibly strange, Alice had no choice but to do so if she wanted to have a proper conversation with Ciel.
“I…I’ve passed it on already,” Ciel said with an enraptured expression as her face was pressed against the soft exercise mat. After saying so, she rubbed her face against Alice’s white stockings.
The white stockings were something Ciel had requested the last time Alice had stepped on her. Seeing that the catkin was helping her out, Alice decided to oblige Ciel’s request.
Meanwhile, through this request, it could be seen that Ciel’s fetish was indeed growing more and more exaggerated. It had already gotten so bad that her reputation would fall into ruins should others learn of her fetish.
“What did your tribesmen say? It’s already been a week, so they should have an answer already, right?” Alice asked as she switched to stepping on Ciel’s face with her left foot. Despite Ciel’s strange fetish, the catkin could still be considered one of the top beauties in the March Academy. Ciel had also done very well at maintaining her beauty, her skin looking smooth and lustrous. So, stepping on Ciel’s face was both physically and mentally satisfying.
“The patriarch says he’ll give me an answer tomorrow,” Ciel said, her body trembling a little when she felt Alice’s foot grinding against her face. Of course, judging by the expression on her face, it was obvious that she wasn’t trembling out of fear but excitement instead.
Meanwhile, Alice removed her foot after getting the answer she wanted, leaving Ciel panting and bathing in the psychological aftertaste of pleasure.
“Tomorrow, huh… I guess that’s fine,” Alice muttered with a pondering look.
With the excellent conditions she offered, there was no reason for the catkin tribes to refuse her request. Meanwhile, so long as the catkin tribes accepted her offer, she would be able to visit them and read their taboo collection.
Alice wasn’t particularly worried that the catkin tribes might threaten her, either.
On the one hand, the catkins shared a good relationship with the humans. As It was especially true considering the catkins had set up home within the Gryffin Kingdom’s borders and allowed their children to study in the Gryffin Kingdom’s academies. So, there should be no reason for the catkins to take action against Alice, the Gryffin Princess.
On the other hand, Alice was no pushover. She might have trouble going up against the beastkins as a whole by herself, but the catkins were only one of the many races among the various beastkins. Alice could easily blast them to the afterlife with a taboo if they dared try anything funny.
“By the way, I heard that the beastkins’ totems are excellent materials for alchemy,” Alice said, recalling another matter when she looked at Ciel’s degenerate face. After constructing Kristine’s body, Lacey started studying under Luna to become a qualified maid. Meanwhile, through the conversations she shared with Lacey during these past two days, Alice had learned about some of the rarer alchemy materials in this world.
Of the materials Lacey mentioned, the beastkins’ totems were one of these materials. The beastkins’ totems would gain special properties after being worshiped by the beastkins over a long period, and these special properties made these totems excellent materials for alchemy. Meanwhile, Alice wondered if she could swindle a totem from the catkins.
“Y-You’ve even set your sights on our totems?!”
Ciel instantly shot up from the ground when she heard Alice aiming at her tribe’s totems. Although there was still an unnatural blush on her face, it was obvious that she had already snapped out of her masochistic state. She had also started speaking to Alice in a rude tone.
“Impossible! The totems are our tribe’s religion! There’s no way we’ll let you use them for alchemy!”
“It’s already the modern era. Why are you still being so superstitious?” Alice said, curling her lips in dissatisfaction as she sent a kick at Ciel’s buttocks.
In reality, Alice had considered letting Luna bully Ciel on her behalf. Unfortunately, Ciel had seemingly imprinted on Alice. When Luna was the one delivering the physical abuse, it would only provoke an intense resistance from Ciel, the catkin refusing to become obedient no matter what.
“Ah~❤” Ciel moaned and capitulated instantly. “I’m sorry…❤”
