Chapter 82: Delinquent and Target Practise

Inside the carriage, the silence felt deafening.

For Ryuji, the journey was a delightful experience, his eyes leisurely taking in the surroundings while he basked in the princess's extravagance and her one-way windows.

"Hurry and release me, you perverted villain!" Liana's voice carried a sharp threat, while her low and raspy voice caused Ryuji to become more amused.

"That voice doesn't suit such a tiny woman."

"Who is tiny, you damn brute!"

He turned to face her and noticed his hand seemed to have slipped down to her chest at some point—the soft and addictive feeling made him feel that his execution or death might come soon, so why not enjoy them fully?

"Ah... stop, why are you touching me... wait, it's dangerous!?"

"Waah!?"

*Crackle*

A black lightning burst from the princess's body, causing the entire carriage to flash with dark light.

The moment his bare hand touched her soft, springy chest, the body of the princess flickered with black lightning, which electrocuted Ryuji and the entire carriage.

"Nnn~ don't!"

*VZZZZT*

"Gyaaaaa!?" Ryuji's scream roared throughout the carriage.

His body experienced an excruciating sensation of pain as his veins seemed to be pumped with molten lead—causing his body to convulse violently while his lungs shrivelled, only for him to recover in a matter of seconds.

'I should probably have died...'

"Chosen Ryuji!? Are you alright?" The shocking voice of the princess, which sounded concerned, entered his ears.

A softer and more alluring voice than usual as she grasped his body and put her ear to his chest.

*Badump Badump*

Like a bull rampaging, his heart filled with power and pumped like normal, causing her eyes that seemed regretful to widen.

"Y-You... survived?"

"Oh... your little shock has a kick, princess." Ryuji grinned in satisfaction, reaching out his hands and groping her soft, perky chest once more.

"W-wait, Chosen Ryuji... why are you..." Liana's soft, immature voice entered his ears, causing him to gaze at her features.

He leaned close to her ear, his hot breath and deep voice vibrating directly inside her ear, "Don't you want me to do this? That's why you're not hurting me any more, right?"

"N...no... you...."

"Just a little longer... one minute... then I will let you go," Ryuji whispered in a sweet voice, causing a shiver to travel down Liana's spine as she unconsciously nodded.

'Heh, seems to be working well.' Ryuji grinned. He'd grown bored with using threats, and his attitude had caused him to notice her delicate response and the fact she wasn't such a witch in reality but a lonely little girl.

'Why should I let someone else in this kingdom have a valuable existence like her?' Ryuji felt she was a priceless treasure, and his hard work would have her wrapped around his fingers one day.

"Does it feel good when I touch you here?" Ryuji felt his curiosity rise as he released her and moved his hands.

"Pleasure...? How dare you?" However, her lips pressed together when she felt him stroking her crimson hair, a feeling she hadn't felt for countless years; the gentle stroking soothed her mind and her worries for his safety because her power couldn't kill him!

"Alright... that's enough." Ryuji frowned after his hand stroked her hair for half a minute before pulling away. He closed his eyes and felt amused, waiting for the princess to respond.

Liana's body tensed when he moved his hand back, and she noticed the clock didn't even pass halfway for a minute... The pleasant feeling vanished, and she felt irritated.

"Huh...? You can't stop so quickly... I want to enjoy it more!" She gasped at her careless words and felt mortified at the smirk on the chosen face.

"You damn rogue! What did you do to me!?"

"Hehe." Ryuji chuckled and used the full effect of his skills, stroking her soft, crimson hair while their bodies lightly touched, causing the princess's body to stiffen once more while his natural charm slowly seemed to trap her mind. "You're so adorable... a charming little princess. I can't let someone else take you."

"N-no... I-I am a princess... you... you can't—" Liana's body gradually grew limp in his arms, and her once azure blue eyes grew heavy with a charming emotion.

Ryuji used his calming technique until they arrived at their destination, his hand slowly parting from her head, the burnt palm instantly healing before she could see the damage. However, the princess seemed to have reached a limit of embarrassment.

Her hands pointed towards Ryuji, who stood close to the door.

"No! Stay away! I can't be with you. You are just a lowly chosen!"

A foreboding feeling struck Ryuji before her hands crackled with a huge amount of her black lightning and struck towards him—though he could feel the power was much weaker than when touching her body.

The force was more than triple!

Bzzt!

"Don't think you're safe because of a brief hug." Liana's deep, raspy voice entered his ears while he flew out of the carriage and onto the dusty road. Into a pool of mud, as the others climbed off the carriage, Kathryn looked at him with her sharp green eyes, while the princess turned away with a huff, but Ryuji could see it...

On her face, there was a smile as she looked back with sharp eyes. Liliana mouthed, "Hmph, serves you right, Ryuji!" Before climbing down with Kathryn's help.

"What happened to the Chosen, My Princess?"

"Oh... the fool tried to jump out of the carriage and slipped like a fool. Fufu." Liana's voice was the normal witch's tone, yet Ryuji watched her pass him while staggering to his feet.

'If that's how you want to play, Liana. I am happy to oblige.'
