Chapter 157: I didn't run after you, child

Ah!

The muffled scream came from the room. Aaralyn had woken up after recalling her entire journey to becoming Dante's companion on this journey. For a second, she thought of many things...

But only one she could say, as her crooked smile fell upon her solitary tears.

"Kaalindra... My Mommy..." A solitary and solemn cry, without any sniffles or sobs, just tears falling like an abandoned child.

"My mother... where are you?" She questioned herself as she closed her eyes and covered them with her hands firmly.

"If only you were here... everything would be so much easier and that idiot of a master of mine..." She wanted to say something, but thought twice and grumbled: "he'd probably want you for himself, stay away." She said, pouting to herself. She hadn't looked around yet, but soon realized.

She was in a luxurious room, "like those in the... Palace..." she said and looked around seeing only one person...

A face she was hoping not to encounter so soon... a Man quite intriguing that left her completely perplexed with his actions.

"It's good to see that my faithful assassin is so cold and barely has emotions, dealing with information management? Please, handle the cuteness of being mommy's little girl," Dante said, laughing as he left Aaralyn completely speechless. In fact...

She had a very clear reaction.

A shame so confusing that it made her bow her head while holding onto her feet, something, of course, Dante couldn't blame her for anymore. 'So adorable' He thought as he approached the little jade gem.

"Hmm, I'll reward your hard work." Dante said, but Aaralyn didn't even look at him, in fact, she just wanted to hide.

But she was surprised by something.

The warm hands of the man in front of her came over her hair, she felt Dante's warmth caressing her entire being, if she were a cat demi-human, she would probably be purring with joy feeling his soft and warm hands.

But Aaralyn was a Vampire, and let's say that what got warm was a region that may or may not be wet right now, 'Damn! Not now! Control yourself!' She roared internally and lifted her head looking into the beautiful golden eyes of the man, which seemed to be made of pure gold.

She didn't even have time and soon felt Dante's lips touching her forehead. "I'm sorry" He said and she didn't understand what was happening, a mix of emotions corroded her for a few milliseconds and she looked at Dante, her gaze seeking an explanation, but Dante just smiled and said: "Your nightmare, I'm the one to blame." He explained and she continued not to understand.

"Your arm was destroyed, I had to use demonic energy to heal you, mommy's little girl," Dante said mockingly and Aaralyn pouted.

'I thought you were less expressive, but you're quite adorable, my Aaralyn' Dante thought, seeing the girl's reaction who, in fact, wanted to punch him until he passed out.

"I have matters to attend to, I hope you'll return to your work when needed, until then you're on vacation" Dante said, waving his hand backward as he left the room.

"Vacation?..." Aaralyn didn't understand why Dante would say something like that... 'He wants me... away from him?' She thought and soon her thoughts began to be corroded.

Meanwhile...

"God, irrational woman!" Dante shouted and let her go, almost dropping her, and she looked at him, her hand itching to hit him again.

"Why are you hitting me?" He questioned, and she just shrugged her shoulders. "Your face makes for a good punching bag," she said, emotionlessly.

"Oh really?" Dante questioned and started walking towards the woman, who stood up as she walked backward; she felt a... slightly different power coming from Dante, a power over her, actually.

Dante walked fast and grabbed her by the shoulders, turning her back and then, with a heavy and strong hand, he delivered the fatal blow.

'Let's see your reaction, naughty dragon!' He roared internally, and then, a noise was heard.

*SMACK*

Dante struck Voralith's buttocks with an open hand, which quickly turned completely red.

"KYA!!!!" She screamed like a little girl, while her entire face turned red with shame and she started putting her hands to cover her expression.

"Since you gave me five, let's be fair here." Dante said mockingly, and again, another smack came.

*SMACK*

"KYAAAAA" Like a limp little girl, she screamed, too weak to stop, after all, her body was still returning to the physical world.

*SMACK*

"Stop!" She pleaded, but again Dante's five fingers sank into her rather large buttocks.

*SMACK*

"Please! Stop!" She begged again, her body had no strength, and the so imposing Demonic Dragon Empress became Dante's little devil.

*SMACK*

"Hmm. Uhnn!" She... moaned.

Dante looked at her this time with eyes widened in surprise... after all, one thing was her complaining about the pain... the other... well... hosted-on-MVLeMpYr

"Are you enjoying this?" He questioned with a smile, and then Voralith's entire body shivered, and she turned with her eyes extremely serious upon seeing that Dante had stopped.

"I'll kill you." She said, and Dante's entire body shivered...

"Only if you can catch me!" He taunted and began to run using magic, and soon after, Voralith, still embarrassed, ran after him.

"Come back here! You bastard!" She shouted as they ran invisibly through the imperial palace...
