Chapter 519: Fluffy Tail and Ears

Surprisingly, the first one in the queue was actually the governor or the capital. Alice could see the familiar fluffy ears and the sharp gaze.

Considering she was part of what Alice assumed to be a group called 'Hounds', it was no surprise that she'd be here first. She was practically the first to respond to the danger after all.

"Governor." Alice greeted with a smile.

Seeing Alice, the governor nodded her head.

"I believe you know the details of this 'cure' right? I will be conducting two tests. One to see if you're compatible with a certain blood sample, the other is to see if you have the talent to activate something called the Bloodline Release." Alice explained as she gestured for the governor to sit on the chair in front of her.

"I've been briefed. If I have an affinity for Bloodline Release, I'll be turned to a hybrid where I can achieve equal or greater power using this new technique. But if I don't have an affinity, I'll be given two choices. One is a berserker and the other is to remain how I am now." The Governor replied in a serious tone.

"Indeed. And you know that if you become a berserker, your fate is essentially sealed right?"

"I'm aware."

With the Governor aware of the dangers, Alice nodded her head and had her turn around.

Even though she was tempted to touch the ears and the tail, Alice held herself back as it wouldn't be appropriate at this time.

First, she needed to see the capacity of the Governor to determine the ratio they needed to implement. Different people had different resistances to the curse so she couldn't use the same formula for everyone.

Furrowing her brows, the Governor could feel a strange energy worming its way through her body, scanning her from head to toe. It wasn't painful but it wasn't exactly soothing either.

"Caera, she's lost around 35% of her capacity." Alice glanced back as Caera began to adjust the formulas.

Getting the Governor to lay down on the bed without her shirt, Alice pressed a single drop of her blood against her back.

The instant her blood came into contact, the Governor's ears and tail jumped up in shock as she gripped the bed cover.

Biting her lip, she refused to let out a single peep of sound.

Alice wanted to reassure her but the pain wasn't going to disappear. The only thing she could do was to speed up the process.

Closing her eyes, Alice began to overwrite the curse within the Governor's body with her own blood. There was already traces of her blood inside her body since the Governor was exposed to the spider lilies and this made the adaption process much easier.

'She's showing a lot of resilience.' Alyss noticed as the Governor's body had already 'quarantined' the curse and Alice's blood to some extent.

A way for her body to protect her against the side effects.

With this being the case, Alice would be able to inject a bit more of her blood than originally anticipated.

But before that, she needed to see if she was compatible with Bloodline Release.

"Try and follow the flow of energy." Alice instructed, pressing her palm against her back.

Little by little, the energy around the Governor began to shift as a light blue mist was exuded from her body.

Above her, a figure was slowly forming and had a resemblance to how the Governor looked. The only different being that her body was made from a strange black material leaving only the glowing eyes visible. The ends of her hair now had a cold ice blue and her wolf features were still there.

With the Governor being compatible with Bloodline Release, Alice nodded with a smile.

"Congratulations Governor, you're compatible. I'll inject a bit more of the blood into you so that you'll be able to unleash more power in the future. This blood will also give you a certain resistance to Sigil abilities."

With the initial steps done, the rest of the process was rather simple and soon, Alice had the Governor putting her clothes back on.

Clenching her fists, the Governor had a strange look on her face since she wasn't used to the feeling.

The feeling of being able to sense two alternative sources of energy within her body. It felt as though she had three beating hearts.

One was her original capacity, one was the blood, and the other was the Bloodline Release.

These three formed a link and even without activating the power, her body was being passively enhanced.

"You'll need some time to get used to the new power. And as a reminder, you'll only be able to fight as long as your Bloodline Release lasts. Once it runs out, you'll have to rely on own power." Alice warned as the Governor nodded and stood up.

"Thank you. If there's anything I can do for you, please let me know."

Hearing this, Alice paused for a moment before folding her arms.

With that kind of response, of course Alice will become tempted. After all, she'll be leaving the north once she was done with this.

"Can I… Touch your ear and tail?" Alice asked after a brief pause.

"Eh?" Blinking her eyes, the Governor's expression was that of surprise and embarrassment as a blush could be seen on her face.

"W-why would you want to touch my ears and tail?" She tried to compose herself but failed.

"Why not? They're fluffy. Of course,e if you won't want me to, that's fine too." Alice shrugged. She wasn't too bothered if she couldn't touch them. But if she could, that'll be one less thing that she'll be curious about.

Hesitating for a moment, the Governor sat down and nodded her head.

She turned around, showing Alice her tail as her ears twitched.

With the Governor's consent, Alice gently patted the tail.

'HOLY MOTHER OF FLUFF!'

'Sh*t! No fair! Let me cop a feel too dammit!' Alyss protested but Alice was too distracted by the fluffiness of the tail.

Despite its size, most of it was fur! The volume, the lushness, Alice could tell that the Governor took great care of her tail.

'F*CK! Lemme out!' Alyss raged.

Pouting slightly, Alice sighed and nodded her head.

It wouldn't be fair if she was the only one being able to enjoy this sensation.

Closing her eyes, she swapped places with Alyss.

"Holy sh*t twinnie wasn't wrong…" Alyss muttered. Running her fingers through the tail, her expression relaxed as she planted her face into it.

"Hyah!!" The Governor let out a cry as she didn't expect Alice to plant her face into the tail.

'Alright tag out already, I still need to touch the ears!'

'A little longer, this feels much better than a pillow hehe~' Alyss grinned.

However, Alice took over forcefully, hijacking the tail pillow.

'Hah! Mine now!'

'F*ck! I call tyranny! Dictator!' Alyss cursed while Alice only stuck out her tongue.

Enjoying the tail pillow, Alice sat up and reached for the ears. Caressing them gentling, she noticed the Governor's shoulders trembling as she leaned forward and saw her expression.

Compared to the usual serious expression that she had, she was now a blushing maiden trying to not make a peep.

A single thought appeared in Alice's mind.

'I wanna bully her!'

She felt the urge to tease the usually serious governor and reached out for the other ear.

"Ahem. Dear master, there is still a queue outside." Caera interrupted as Alice pouted.

"Fine~" Alice sighed as the Governor quickly stood up and ran out of the tent.

The people outside who the Governor run out felt a chill down their spine.

How painful was the operation if it made their serious Governor look like she was about to collapse on the ground??? The leader of the Hounds, the Wolf of Verona, reduced to looking like this?

The next in line paled as Alice called him in.

"There is a barrier put in place by the Queen. So if we want to enter, we'll need some way of evading her sight." The Doctor smiled while playing around with a stopwatch in his hands.

"I believe you have the solution prepared already?" Albert glanced over as he nodded his head.

"This device will make people 'ignore' your existence unless looking at you directly. It's the same thing we used for the initial attack. Please carry it on you at all times and don't make a scene. We're only here for scouting purposes." The Doctor reminded.

Nodding his head, Albert received the stopwatch as Eryn did the same.

With the device activated, the three of them entered the capital with the help of Eryn.

Seeing as how the barrier didn't react nor did a flock of guards run to their location, the three split into two groups as the Doctor wanted to investigate the scene of the battle.

But most importantly, it was to keep an eye on Albert. On the off chance that Alice was indeed here, he's been ordered to observe his reaction.

There's been… concerns that Albert was beginning to hesitate. Having Albert see the results of the Hybrid's attack and the victims would be a good way to judge whether or not Albert's stance on the family's actions.

A mission given to him by the mistress.

"He's keeping an eye on you." Eryn warned as Albert nodded his head.

"I know. It's not exactly surprising with the questions I've been raising." Albert shrugged.

Landing on the roof, he glanced at the map to see where he wanted to scout out first.
