Book 5: Chapter 107: The Big Wolf And The Little Rabbit

The atmosphere in the room became strangely silent.

Time seemed to stand still as Lilith gaped at Luna, who knelt before her with an air of submission.

It was almost inconceivable to Lilith. The once-arrogant and noble Princess of the Holy Dragon Empire had transformed into a meek figure addressing her as “master”.

The wager between them had been that the loser would become the property of the other, but...

Lilith gazed at the ceiling above them. They were no longer within the confines of St. Caroline Academy, and there were no magic arrays here to enforce their wagers either.

This meant that the wager they had made back then was no longer effective once they were outside of the academy. Besides, Lilith had absolutely no interest in making Princess Luna her servant.

If Lilith wanted someone to serve her, she could easily find a team of professionals who would attend to her every need. She had no need for a princess raised in privilege and lacked practical skills.

Lilith pondered for a long time but failed to figure out why Princess Luna, who had previously been eager to maintain her image even after humiliation, was now kneeling before her.

Princess Luna remained on her knees with her forehead against the ground, as though she awaited her master’s commands.

In the end, Lilith could only sigh in defeat and said, “P-Please... rise.”

“Thank you, Master Lilith,” Princess Luna replied, gracefully rising to her feet and folded her slender hands in front of her.

The white dress she wore gave her an otherworldly aura. A gentle smile graced her lips, and her eyes remained serene, with a trace of desire that Lilith could not quite fathom.

She looked nothing like the young woman who had just knelt before her and surrendered every shred of her dignity.

Understanding Luna was becoming increasingly perplexing.

Lilith massaged her temples, trying to make sense of the situation. She returned to her chair and took a sip of herbal tea to calm her nerves.

“Please, stop calling me ‘master’. I feel like I’m going to die soon if you keep doing that.”

Lilith placed her tea cup back on the table, feeling a bit calmer. She was about to reason with this seemingly “lost” girl in front of her when she noticed that Luna’s attention was not on her, but on her tea cup.

Lilith glanced at the unremarkable tea cup. It bore the design of the world’s top artist, was crafted in the Royal kilns of the Holy Dragon Empire, and was one of only five sets in the entire continent—two of which were in the palace of the Holy Dragon Empire and three in Lilith’s possession.

Although these exquisite patterned dragon moon porcelain teacups could fetch a price of up to 100,000 gold coins each, they possessed no extraordinary qualities.

Could she be thinking of poisoning me?

Lilith furrowed her brow, cautious about letting her guard down.

Luna, who had been distracted by her thoughts, turned to Lilith with a hint of embarrassment and a faint blush on her cheeks.

“I took a bath before coming, and now I’m feeling a bit thirsty. Would Master Lilith be so kind as to offer me a cup of tea?” she asked shyly.

What... is... she doing?

For the second time today, Lilith found herself utterly baffled by Luna’s bizarre behavior.

After containing her frustration for so long, she finally couldn’t hold it back any longer and erupted, “Didn’t I tell you the tea is better when it’s freshly brewed?”

“Freshly brewed tea is certainly better, but ......”

After finishing the tea in a single gulp, Luna seemed unsatisfied. She licked along the rim of the cup, paying special attention to the spot where Lilith’s lips had been and ran her tongue over it again... and again.

“To me, this is the ultimate delicacy.”

After licking the cup, Luna smacked her lips with a flushed face and stared intensely at Lilith.

The desire in Luna’s eyes could no longer be hidden. It swirled like a tidal wave, clearly visible in her gaze.

Something is wrong, something is wrong, something is wrong...

Not good, not good, not good, not good! This is bad...

Lilith finally realized that her previous thinking had been flawed.

While Luna’s actions might seem abnormal for a regular person, they appeared perfectly logical for someone abnormal.

Speaking of which, she recalled seeing Princess Luna looking like this somewhere before...

Memories flashed through Lilith’s mind...

Yes, it was that time when she had ordered Princess Luna to lick her foot... Back then, she did not think much of it because she thought that Princess Luna’s strangeness was caused by the effects of her Dragon Bloodline Suppression.

However, she did not use any of that or dragon language spell on Luna this time. So why was she behaving this way?

“Master Lilith, do you know how difficult it has been for me ever since I lost to you?”

While Luna’s words should have been filled with hatred, her eyes betrayed a burning desire.

She took slow, deliberate steps toward Lilith, like a zombie.

Danger!

Lilith’s intuition told her that she needed to escape or else she would definitely lose something extremely important to her!

She picked up the chair and leaped backward, but the room was too small, and she quickly reached the wall.

There was nowhere else to run. She huddled in the corner of the chair, her small body trembling as she watched Luna slowly approaching her.
