Become their wicked yet gentle lord.

"Hiss~" Kania was mercilessly thrown to the corner of the table by Ryusha, her alluringly fragrant buttocks exposed to the air with a sizzling sound. Ruthless slaps rained down on her smooth skin, creating pink ripples...

"Yes...yes!"

Although it was Kania's own plea, wanting to be treated roughly like never before, she never expected Ryūka to make her serve the corner of the table that Zōna used for self-pleasure. This feeling of being used as a tool left her disoriented. She was the first person to be with Ryūka... and now she was licking the corner of a table for a new slave assassin... If Zōna was performing a decadent act for Ryūka, then what she was doing was even more degrading...

But Kania trembled all over, seemingly enjoying herself immensely without Ryusha's touch. She knelt on the carpet, sticking out her sweet tongue to lick the rounded corner of the table, smearing and kissing her with her witch's fluids little by little.

"The way you're doing it, it's like you're licking my thing. Why don't you use it to satisfy yourself from now on?"

"Ha~ How could this be..."

Humiliated by Ryusha, Kania, who had done her 'job', knelt to the side and looked up expectantly, as if seeking praise and reward, while her fingers uncontrollably reached between her legs.

Zona, her face flushed, parted her wet legs and gently pressed her weight onto the hard corner of the table.

"Ha~"

Her slender waist arched involuntarily, and her thighs, spread apart by the corner of the table, struggled to maintain their balance. Zona placed her hands on the table and, under her master's gaze, bit her lip and began to sway her waist. From slow to intense, she eventually couldn't help but lift her toes, her soft heels taut and suspended in the air, feeling the intense stimulation of concentrating her weight on one point.

Meanwhile, Ryuka had already seized the opportunity, positioned himself behind Zona, and pierced the membrane he had previously examined the moment Zona reached the summit...

"Oh dear—"

The half-elf let out a sharp cry. At a moment when an ordinary person would feel excruciating pain, she instead felt an unprecedented sense of rebirth. With each violent impact from behind, her delicate parts collided with the hard corner of the table, one wave of pain followed by another, quickly overwhelming her reason.

Not to mention the witch's bodily fluids on the corner of the table, which took her first experience to another level. Zona felt this blissful enjoyment and thought that even without the dark elf's secret arts, she would be willing to stay by her master's side and serve him.

Not only that, she felt the boiling power of her bloodline, and both her understanding of dark magic and her physical abilities seemed to be gradually unlocked with each exhilarating sway. So that's how it is, this is the power within her body…

But she was no longer able to remain calm.

"Consciousness...consciousness is flying away! It's flying away like the bodily fluids being expelled!! Hah~ Ugh!!!"

*Thud!* Zona's body slumped onto the desk. Kania immediately took the long-desired object into her mouth, not wanting Ryuka to be exposed to the air for even a second…

"Did you count correctly? How many times did you just do that?"

Ryuka stroked Kania's soft hair, but her stuffed mouth couldn't answer. She could only use her finger to write a number that was more than four digits on the boy's thigh.

"Is that so? Well, that's the reward you can get today."

With a soft cry from Kania, she was lifted up by Ryusha and deeply penetrated, and with each heavy thrust, her tender and pitiful buttocks were slapped.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... Ugh!!! I can't count anymore~"

"Really? If you can't count them, you won't move."

That won't work!

Kania held the boy tightly in her arms, wishing she could melt their bodies together. She whispered sweet nothings into his ear, uttering words of longing until their breaths became so intertwined that the words were no longer audible, only the panting of a woman burning with desire remained...

"Ha~ha~every time, it's like dying and coming back to life...coming back to life and dying again..."

Feeling Kania pressed against his chest with satisfaction, Ryusha kneaded her delicate body while beckoning Megan to help them bathe.

As for Zona, since her body had not yet healed, she was not suitable to soak in water and was sent back to rest.

Watching Kania's long hair spread out in the bathtub, its luster becoming hazy under the steam, Ryuka couldn't help but ask the question that had been weighing on her mind.

"Kanya, do you know anything about gods?"

"God?" Kania blinked her bright eyes. "The goddess of the Holy See?"

“No, no…” Ryuga showed a hint of disappointment. Kania’s answer showed that she knew nothing about the existence of gods.

Judging from Chloe's description, the Cruel Witch's power is on par with fragments of divinity. But if Kania doesn't even know about the existence of gods, then her understanding of witch power is probably limited to what she's said.

Noticing Ryukyu's mood, Kania's expression suddenly turned serious. She pushed aside the water and came to Ryukyu's side, asking with concern, "Is something wrong?"

After a moment of contemplation, Liu Xia briefly described some of the changes that had occurred to him in Sochi City and the form of the Cruel Lord.

"Simply put, the witch power within you, which should have been a copy, seems to have developed its own consciousness, creating abilities completely different from mine... and these abilities can even affect your 'true self,' is that right?"

Kania summarized that she could not find the corresponding information from her memories of the witches, but this phenomenon made her feel uneasy.

“That’s right, and also, I saw a god…”

"God, are you talking nonsense?" Kania's eyes widened, and she even put her hand on Ryusha's forehead to check his temperature.

"Of course not, you're the one with a fever!" Ryuka grabbed her hand and twisted it behind her back, his previously resting penis now roused again by the collision with Kania's soft, bouncy buttocks...

"Hiss~ Ha!"

Kania readily accepted the offer, swaying her body and rippling the water as she listened to Ryuka's summary.

"Well, in short, it's because I used Kurowell's name that she targeted me. After some negotiations, I agreed to help her spread her faith and handle affairs, and she would give me some benefits in return."

"Ha~ Really... really is Chloe? That legendary heretical god? Hmm~ Could she have been tricked by other heretics?"

“It’s not that bad…” Ryuka muttered, enjoying the tender warmth of the hot bath, explaining little by little. But when she mentioned that the cruel witch’s power might be related to the gods, Kania suddenly pulled out and covered Ryuka’s mouth in shock.

"Shh...don't say it! If that's the case, don't let me know!"

What appeared in Kania's eyes was a tension and fear that Ryuka had never seen before.

If Ryūka wasn't lying to her, if there really were such things as gods in this world, connected to it on an unknown level, and if her witch bloodline was also related to this...

Kania's lips twitched twice. Wasn't this the kind of situation where the more you knew, the faster you'd die?

Could it be that there's a deity behind my witch bloodline? Does that mean my fate has always been controlled by a higher being? And is my attempt to overthrow the Autus royal family and seize control of destiny truly real?

For no apparent reason, Kania started having wild thoughts. She tried to calm herself down, then slowly said to Ryūka:

"Whether your encounter with a deity is true or not, don't tell me the specific details..."

"Why?" Ryuga asked, noticing Kania's uneasy expression.

"You're so silly~ If the cruel witch is a god behind the scenes, or even herself, then as someone with witch blood, I'm bound to inevitably be connected to her! Just like how you used Chloe's name and were noticed by her, could I also be being watched by some witch god?"

Kania frowned, seemingly blaming Ryusha for letting her know about these things that were useless to think about and only added to her troubles.

"Besides, didn't Kuowell say that you have that thing...?"

"Fragments of divinity?"

"Shh!"

Kania put her finger to her lips, a subtle warning to Ryuka to be careful.

"This is a big deal, you can't just say it out loud... what if someone overhears?" Kania looked around warily, even though it was the lord's private bathroom, she still felt uneasy.

"Even if you hear it, you'll just treat it as gossip," Ryuka couldn't help but remark, looking at Kania's overly nervous expression.

"You're overthinking it. We don't even know the truth yet. Even if there are gods watching us, we can't fight back, can we? Why be so afraid? I think you're just overthinking it."

“Okay…” Kania frowned, seemingly exasperated by Ryuka’s carefree attitude. But then she thought about it again, and realized that it was precisely because of Ryuka’s fearless personality that they had come together.

Whether it was being provoked by her past self to the point of forcibly pushing herself down, or agreeing to ally with herself to attack Hetia, Ryuka's passionate and wild focus on the present was precisely the reason for her downfall.

He was the one who led him onto this dangerous path, and he had sworn to be fearless of all storms, but now he's become timid and hesitant just because he knows about the existence of gods.

Kania realized what was happening and chuckled to herself. She had once thought that her entanglement with Ryukatsu's fate was solely because she was a witch. But now it seemed that even if she were just the daughter of a former forester, given Ryukatsu's ambitious and fearless nature, it was almost inevitable that she would be drawn to him...

"What's wrong? What are you laughing at again?"

As Ryuka watched Kania's expression shift from complicated to composed, and then she giggled, she couldn't help but pinch Kania's cheek and ask.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch~~~ Be gentle! It'll look bad if you tear it!"

"Vanity..."

Ryuka snapped her fingers away, watching Kania rubbing her face with teary eyes, reverting to her affectedly cutesy act.

"I'm just smiling, it's so good to have met you."

"..."

Kania's words caused Ryuka to pause for a moment, then she slowly frowned and stared at the little witch in front of her with the look of someone looking at an idiot.

"That's such a cheesy line, it's practically a confession of love. You're a witch, for crying out loud."

Unexpectedly, Kania got angry about this and glared at Ryuka with puffed-up cheeks.

"Have I not said enough sweet nothings to you before? Fine~ Ryuka! You look down on me, this witch?"

"That's not what I meant. Besides, are those sweet words you usually say just a witch's way of being, or are they your true feelings? 'Witches can't love,' you said that yourself, didn't you?"

Liu Xia appeared completely unconcerned, seemingly unaware that she had done anything wrong.

Well... that's right. Witches don't love. Her feelings for Ryuka are more like the appreciation and compatibility between allies, and the perfect match in love and desire. If she had to talk about feelings, Kania has always felt that she is indulging and pampering Ryuka as a younger brother.

but……

What exactly is the unpleasant feeling that arises in my heart when he doubts the sweet words I say?

Once awakened as a witch, her emotions will be controlled by her increasingly rampant desires, gradually turning her into an empty shell who only pursues cruelty and lust, unable to truly love others. This is the fate of the Bell Witch.

Even her own mother, after awakening her witch bloodline, gradually lost her love for her father, becoming nothing more than an empty shell tormented to death by desire. The witches she inherited from each other were all the same…

But why are my feelings for Ryuka becoming stranger and harder to explain?

Even his relationships with the other girls in Linhu Town, even setting aside his physical relationship with Ryuka, seemed to allow him to interact with them normally, like friends...

This was different from the witch's life she knew! The witches she knew should be as cold as Melanie, as tyrannical as Hetia, and as lonely and isolated as Atina...

If there has to be a special reason, then the special reason is definitely not myself!

Kania suddenly looked at Ryusha.

The deity Chloe once said that her power could not completely restrain Ryukatsu because Ryukatsu possessed two god-level powers.

If the power of the cruel witch is one of them, is the witch's power also being interfered with by Ryukatsu's other divine power?

"Perhaps, Ryuka, you are a god bestowed upon me by fate..."

"What nonsense are you spouting? It's getting more and more disgusting."

Ryuka couldn't help but shudder, but Kania seemed to be thinking seriously.

No, if that were the case, wouldn't Ryuka be able to interfere with the fate of all the cruel witch bloodlines?

If those witches, just like those in my memory, who are cursed by witches, were to meet Ryuka, could they also escape that life of dehumanization and eventual suicide?

If only we could save them...

Give it a try! You might find traces of other 'liberal' witch bloodlines in your own memories!

Moreover, by uniting more allies, the chances of overthrowing Ottus would be greater!

"What are you daydreaming about? If you don't know more about heresy and gods, I'll have to try to get information from other places. For example, the heretical ruins at East Heaven Lake, and Vitris, who is a member of the Snow Spirit Clan..."

Listening to Ryukyu's plan, Kania nodded:

"Well, it's time to move forward with the Princess's plan. Heflian has agreed to bring us that batch of magical instruments, so Anjaberg and her team's magical workshop can begin developing weapons for sealing heretics."

As for Vitry, the mystery surrounding her mother, the "White Goddess," remains unsolved. Although the title of "Goddess" was given to her by the townspeople of Linhu in the past, the fact that she could cause such a widespread blizzard is something that even a high-ranking official like herself might not be able to accomplish, let alone someone at the Grand Master level.

The reason the Snow Spirit Clan exists here is most likely related to the ancient heretical wars of the past.

Just as Kania was analyzing the situation logically, Ryuka's expression suddenly changed, and the warm water in the bath instantly condensed into a longsword in her hand! She raised it towards the bathroom door!

At the same time, accompanied by a huge roar, the entire bathroom door turned into scattered wood chips!

"Ryuka!!! Why didn't you come to Sochi to pick me up!!!"

The first thing to emerge from the smoke and dust was a pair of enormous, perky breasts... and a pair of green, glowing glasses...

Luminova's white hair flew wildly, her emerald green eyes were like those of a wolf in the dark night, her sharp shark teeth were clenched tightly, and she roared and howled in a shrill voice.

"You too! Lindsay too! You kept me in the Inquisition in Sochi for so many days!!! It's a disgrace to a devout follower of the goddess! A disgrace!!!"

It was Luminova, and Ryusha breathed a sigh of relief. Huh?! Was she just released by the church in Sochi?!

"Oh, this... there must be some kind of misunderstanding..."

Ryusha's mind raced. Luminova had no idea that the 'demon' in Sochi City was herself. Theoretically, the governor stationed in Linhu Town should have received a verification message from the Sochi City Church.

But at that time... he was on a 'happy' journey with Haflein.

Ryuka swallowed hard. This big-breasted, brainless, violent nun was a real handful when she got angry. And she herself had caused her to spend several days in the Inquisition—just from the name, she knew it wasn't a comfortable place…

Kania, now understanding what had happened, instantly dissipated the magic she had just gathered and gave Luminova a pleading look: "Ah~ I'm sorry~ That was my responsibility~ I receive too many letters every day, so... hehe~"

"K-K-Kanya! You, you, how could you... be here..."

As the smoke and dust completely cleared, Luminova, realizing the scene before her, blushed instantly! She was in the bathroom! Ryukyu and Kania were soaking naked in the bathtub!!!

"I'm sorry! I couldn't stop the nun... She only asked me where you were, and as soon as I pointed in a direction, before I could even say 'bathroom,' she barged in..."
