Chapter 97 Ch 95: A Sudden Surprise [Pt2]

When people first see Vivian, they often took her as a severe lady who was not to be messed around with. Her wild dirty blond hair along with her amber eyes made people feel her authority.

Her cold nature along with her serious expression made her look like a brooding beauty that no one wanted to mess with. It also made her hard to approach.

So only a selected few knew about the madness that lurked deep in her eyes. That madness and her wild nature was the reason Beelzebub had taken Vivian in and made her a knight candidate.

And then Vivian had been thrown out of her home alone with other knight candidates to prove themselves worth the mark.

When Vivian reached the place where the fight had been taking place she could not help but grin in excitement. It had been a long time since she had seen another knight candidate and it had to be the one she hated this time.

“Ya, girly. So it was you who created all this noise? But then again, this is what I should expect from someone who gave up on their beast half while embarrassing their succubus part, right?”

The red-haired, busty lady frowned at Vivian’s remark. Her eyes held fury but her expression was calm when she faced Vivian.

Just as Vivian had expected of Mimi, the cruel look in her eyes did not vanish even when she flashed a dazzling smile toward Vivian.

“Ah look, it’s that wild cat who did not know that she had been abandoned and continued to chase after that cocky dragon’s love. Do you think someone as vicious as Beelzebub would take you in if you showed her that you were worthy of her respect?”

Mimi’s red hair flashed as she splashed her dashing smile. Her words were cruel and mocked Vivian’s loyalty to her queen.

‘This traitor! How dare she opens her mouth to ask me this question when she was the one who betrayed our master at the first chance she got and joined that damned priestess.’

Vivian’s insides burned at the very sight of Mimi. her betrayal had hurt since Vivian had considered her a good friend once.

But no longer was that the case. Vivian was no longer obligated to think any decent thought about Mimi. What she needed to do was to get revenge against Mimi and kill her outright.

“Well, it doesn’t matter anymore. You will end up dead under my claw and then you will realize we are a much greater race than your little succubus friends.”

Vivian’s anger had reached its boiling point and she could no longer hold it back. However, Mimi managed to avoid getting hit by her attack.

Her flexible body arched backward and Mimi somersaulted to avoid Vivian’s claws. It looked like a well-elaborated dance routine between the two acquaintances.

“Ara~ I thought you wanted to hit me but you are not very inclined to hurt me. You are not trying so hard to hit me.”

Vivian’s temple throbbed as she doubled her effort to hit Mimi. They were playing a game of high-stakes tag but there was no clear winner between them.

“You coward. How dare you run away from me like this? Who is the ‘master’ you are serving now? Are they worth your betrayal to Beelzebub?”

Vivian could not imagine anyone standing above the beast queen. Especially since Beelzebub owned a realm key and never left her realm.

Challenging her master was like courting death. But Mimi had not only betrayed Beelzebub but also dared to get in her way. She needed to be dragged in front of their master and made to confess her deeds.

“Are you still stuck on that silly question of yours? I think your worldview is still shallow.”

Mimi suddenly changed her tempo and her fist collided with Vivian’s stomach. It was only because Vivian was so distracted that she was hit in her stomach by that punch. The force caused her to cough out a few drops of blood as a result.

She looked up at Mimi’s sadistic smile and contemplated her chances of successfully managing to scratch her eyes out. But Mimi was able to ready Vivian’s intentions and avoided her easily.

Mimi took Vivian's wrist in her hand and twisted it painfully. Vivian could feel her shoulder cry out in pain but she held her voice back. She would not give Mimi the satisfaction of seeing that she was hurt.

“Listen, Vivian, people grow and they evolve. Those who were weaker than you would soon surpass you if you were still stuck in the past. So don’t you dare think that your achievements from the past mean anything anymore. You touched my son in a way I will never forgive you for so now feel the pain.”

Mimi’s eyes were blank as she watched Vivian cry out in pain. Vivian had no idea what Mimi meant by her comment but she was not going to take it lying back.

But try as she might, she could not touch even a hair on Mimi’s body. All she could do was endure Mimi’s harsh touch and pray that she would survive.

She was finally let go of after what felt like hours and Mimi backed off with an unsatisfied look on her face. Vivian was surprised that she had not been killed after what had happened with Mimi.

And she swore that this small gesture of carelessness would be Mimi’s downfall in the future.

“I want to kill you off so badly but my master said he would pay you back himself. I will let you live this time but the next time would not be so lucky for you if you continue to make foolish decisions.”

It was beyond humiliating for Vivian to be left alone after being defeated. The rule of the bestial realm asked one to fortify their lives once they lost.

And Mimi knew that rule, but she had still let Vivian go alive. It was mortifying for Vivian to be alive. But she needed to live if she wanted to take revenge. It was such a contradicting feeling in her heart.

She tried to move her arm but it was impossible. Even the smallest of moments sent shivers of pain down her spine. It did not seem possible for her to be able to make it back home like this.

Vivian could also not call someone since she had not brought her phone. Her situation was truly bad.

Since all Vivian could do at that second was to sit around and wait for her injuries to heal a little bit, she could not help but be bitter at her defeat. Why had she lost to a traitor of all things?

“Fuck, this is so bad.”

Vivian cursed in her small and hurt voice. Even speaking hurt a lot and her ribs felt like they were cracked. Breathing was hard for her now but none of her injuries seemed life-threatening.

“And why is this situation so bad? You are still alive and you can recover your strength to strike back at your opponent. From where I see it, you are in a rather good position.”

Vivian heard that familiar voice but she could not pinpoint where she had heard it before. The white hair and red eyes were unique and unfamiliar as well but the energy she felt was one she remembered.

It had been the kid who had thought himself capable enough to take Vivian on but had been utterly defeated.

Vivian remembered because he had been a unique case of half-demon, half-human but had been accepted by the nephew of ‘that witch’ Robin Elglitch.

But that had happened ages ago and the kid had never been seen after that. So Vivian had thought the worst and expected him to have died.

Now it seemed like she had been wrong and the kid was not dead. He had just gone through a dramatic situation that had ended up changing him for the better.

“Y-You? You were still alive? It looks like you have gained some power as well. Are you here to finish the job my nemesis started?”

Vivian did not doubt that this kid wanted revenge on her as well. She had caused him a big enough shock back when they had first met.

She had left the kid a little broken and maybe too traumatized (from the author: if only) so she was not sure what to expect now. The anticipation was killing her and Vivian did not want to move from her current position.

Vivian expected the kid to stab her heart and finally put an end to her misery. But what she felt on her body was a wet feeling before heat surged through her body. She felt like she was burning from the inside and it hurt so much.

“What did you…huff…do to me? My body is…”

Vivian found it hard to breathe and speak. Her body not only hurt but it also tingles. The potion was not only stimulating her pain but also heightening her pleasure. She could feel herself getting wetter and wetter and she rubbed her things together to relieve the pain.

She expected the human to finally jump her and exact his revenge but he did not even touch Vivian. And somehow, that felt worse than it was.
