Chapter 95
Chapter
“Ugh, bleh…!”
“Tina, you can’t spit out the food your master gives you. Now, open your mouth again.”
“Y-you crazy bitch…!”
“I’ll just open it for you.”
“Whew… wait a moment… Mmm?!”
Slurp – Mmm – gulp –
The warm potato soup slowly slid down my throat, gliding over Lilian’s tongue.
The soup was hot enough to steam, but it cooled to a perfect temperature when it passed through Lilian’s mouth, preventing any burns on my tongue.
“I’ll give you some water this time.”
“Ugh, no… Mmm?!”
Lilian’s lips burrowed into my mouth again. This time, cold water quietly flowed in between our lips.
As Lilian poured the last drop down, her tongue gently brushed against mine before slowly retreating from my mouth.
“Ha ha, you finished it all. Well done, Tina.”
“Hah… Sniff… Hah….”
Moans mixed with moisture dripped from my lips.
Lilian smiled contently as she gently patted my head.
By now, the bowl and glass that Lilian held were completely empty. From warm soup to cold water, everything was drained clean.
“W-what kind of madness is this…?!”
“I just fed Tina.”
I bit my lip and glared at Lilian.
“You disgusting bitch…! You pervert…! How can someone like you be a saint…?!”
“Oh my, was the meal not to your taste?”
“Are you insane?! You didn’t say it would be like this…!”
“Thank goodness you’re aware now. From now on, all food Tina eats will come only through my mouth…”
“You crazy woman….”
The intention to win her favor vanished in an instant.
This woman is insane.
If I obediently did as she wanted, I couldn’t predict what would happen to me in the future.
It was a mistake.
Given how this turned out, I should have bitten down on her tongue when it came in. But under her strong momentum, I unknowingly opened my mouth.
‘Next time, next time I will definitely bite that tongue…’
As I vowed silently and glared at Lilian, she pulled me tightly into her embrace with a faint blush on her face.
“Tina, I love you. I will cherish and treasure you for life. No matter what happens, I will never abandon you, so please trust me.”
A shiver ran down my spine as her low, soft whisper reached my ears.
“Don’t… say you love me!!”
As I pushed her away with all my strength, Lilian tilted her head in confusion, looking at me with curious eyes.
“Why? Don’t you like my love?”
“You say you love me? That’s a lie; you must blame me for ruining your life.”
“Do you think I blame you, Tina?”
“Don’t lie. You know I took Ariane from you, right?”
As soon as Ariane’s name was mentioned, Lilian’s eyes flickered slightly. I seized the momentary turmoil in her gaze, smirking disdainfully.
“Do you know? Ariane tossed you aside after just a few words. Just how much trouble did you cause her for that to happen? In the end, you were the person who caused burden even to your closest friend.”
“…”
“Aren’t you supposed to be grateful to me instead? I treated Ariane with more luxury than you ever could. Much better than someone like you—”
“Tina, it seems you have misunderstood something.”
Lilian’s calm, ringing voice cut me off. She gently grabbed my shoulders with both hands and laid me down on the floor.
“You keep bringing up Ariane, but I don’t care about her at all.”
“…What?”
Lilian climbed on top of me, looking down with her sparkling pink eyes.
“Whether Ariane is my friend or not, whether she hates me or not, it means nothing to me.”
“Th-that’s a lie… you said she was your friend…”
“No, I only need my lovely Tina.”
With those words, she roughly sealed my lips with hers.
“Ugh…?!”
Once again, her tongue forcefully invaded my mouth. Her snake-like tongue began to explore my mouth freely.
But this time, I didn’t just go along with her wishes.
“You crazy bitch…!”
I bit her tongue with all my strength.
Crunch—
With the sound of something firmly crunching, the taste of metallic blood spread in my mouth.
“Ugh.”
Lilian frowned slightly and slowly pulled her face away from mine. With dazed eyes, she brushed her lips, which were as red as cherries, and blood flowed continuously between them.
“Ha, serves you right, you perverted woman.”
“…”
Ignoring the scorn in my ridicule, Lilian gently closed her eyes. Before long, pure white light flickered around her lips, and the flowing blood stopped immediately.
“Say it again. You love me? No, you’re just a disgusting hypocrite trying to dress your vile thirst for revenge as love.”
“…Hah, Tina.”
“Whatever you want from me, just kill me. It would be easier for both you and me—”
Swack—!
With a short, sharp sound, a stinging pain spread across my cheek.
Her eyes had turned cold. The palm that struck my cheek stayed raised, looking down at me.
“Hih… hic…”
“Don’t ever say you’re going to die in front of me again.”
“I-I said I wouldn’t hit you…”
“Tina said something terrible.”
Once again, Lilian’s palm struck my cheek, and sharp pain surged, causing tears to well up in my eyes.
“Ugh, ugh…”
“…I’ll stop punishing you here. I don’t intend to train you through violence like before, but that doesn’t mean I won’t discipline you.”
Lilian let out a short sigh and lightly lifted me, placing me on her lap.
As my body trembled in pain, she wrapped her arms around me from behind and whispered softly.
“Tina, you can bite my tongue if you want. You can hit me if you’re angry, and if you have much resentment, go ahead and hurt my body as much as you like.”
“…”
“But Tina, please don’t say you’re going to die. And don’t hurt yourself. I can’t bear to see the one I love, Tina, get hurt.”
I couldn’t understand at all.
I couldn’t grasp what Lilian was thinking or her true intentions. She seemed more angry about me asking for death than about me biting her tongue.
At this point, it felt as if…
…she genuinely cared about me.
“Why… why do you care so much about me?”
“How many times do I have to say it, Tina?”
Lilian replied, brushing my hair with an unwavering, radiant smile.
“Because I love you, Tina.”
“That… that’s not possible…”
What have I done to you?
I pushed you to the brink of despair and even tried to poison you.
Yet, you still say you love me?
“It’s okay, I will slowly prove it to you from now on.”
That couldn’t be true.
Lilian surely had something she wanted.
There was no doubt she was whispering sweetly with a clear purpose.
After all, people who walk paths like Lilian’s wouldn’t have goodwill towards someone like me.
I was no different from a twisted monster that even killed my own mother.
Perhaps she wanted my body. This delicate, pretty appearance has always drawn affection from everyone, regardless of age or gender.
“Hehe, it seems you’re still finding it hard to believe. Nonetheless, I’ll convey it to you in words.”
Lilian gazed at me with innocently innocent eyes and left a light kiss on my forehead.
“I love you, Tina. No matter what you do, or what kind of person you are.”
“…”
“Even if you’re a very, very bad person, I’ll be the master who only cares for you, Tina.”
Surely, it was all lies. She must be saying it with some ulterior motive.
But why did my heart feel so heavy?
“I’m annoyed, you.”
“Hehe, yes, but the first meal training was a success.”
Lilian stood up quietly, a faint smile lingering on her lips.
As her finger made a soft sound in the air, her blood scattered on the floor began to rise slowly, evaporating as if it was disappearing into thin air.
“Future meals will proceed like this. Does that sound okay?”
“…Even if I say no, you’ll feed me like this anyway.”
“Oh my, have you finally understood me?”
I still found her disgusting.
But my pride wouldn’t let me starve myself; I wasn’t strong enough to resist the hunger gnawing at me day by day.
In the first place, I had never been strong.
“…Next time, I’ll bite your tongue again.”
In the end, all I could do was deliver such shallow threats.
However, Lilian chuckled lightly, finding my threats adorable, and calmly cleared away the empty bowl and glass.
“If that’s what it takes for Tina to eat.”
“….”
“Oh, and since the meal training went smoothly, I’m going to proceed with the next training right away.”
“Next… training?”
Lilian placed one finger over her lips and smiled mischievously.
“Next will be urination training.”
“…Urination training?”
…Huh?
…Urination.
…Urine…?
“…Huh? What did you say?”
“Urination training.”
“???”
What, what did you say?
Did I hear that correctly?
Ur ur, what…
Huh?
Ah, no…
What….?
C’mon, you’re joking, right?
“If you follow me well again, I’ll whisper ‘I love you’ a lot.”
“Wait, wait a moment…”
Lilian’s eyes twinkled as she smiled alluringly, the charm of her twisted smile brushing past me.
She lightly patted my head and stepped out the door without hesitation.
As I stared blankly at the empty space where she had disappeared, I shivered as I hugged myself, trying to endure the chill that seeped into my bones.
“Okay, that has to be a joke…?”
