Seven Sins System Chapter 166. The Yandere Who Drugged The Devil VIII
After a short pause, finally, I opened my voice again. "That fan fiction... Is yours right?" I asked, my words measured and precise.
She hesitated for a moment, her eyes flicking back and forth as if searching for the right words. And then, she slowly nodded her head to answer me.
“Then what about your confession as an empath? Is that a lie?" I clarified my voice barely above a whisper.
Once again, she nodded her head to answer me. Although I had expected this, I couldn't help but feel a hint of disappointment.
But she quickly sought to explain herself, "I just like to observe other people," she said, her voice filled with apology. "I’m able to guess a thing or two about that person before they tell me."
As I looked at her, a flood of emotions washed over me. I remembered her words about my emotions and melancholy, and my mind couldn't help but race. "So everything you said about me is a lie then?" I asked, my voice tight with anger. "You only did it to get close to me," I clarified, my tone harsh and accusing.
But she quickly sought to correct me, shaking her head from side to side in denial. "No, everything I told you was the truth," she explained, her voice filled with sincerity. "I did get that impression from you. It was a genuine expression," she added, her gaze unwavering.
'I see... She has a detective's instinct.' An ability to read people and understand them on a deeper level, but not as deep as an empath. And I couldn't deny that her words about me had struck a chord, especially after all of those strange dreams.
With a sigh, I returned my gaze to her. "Anyhow, you are a succubus now," I reminded her, my tone measured. "A demon. You should be careful of Miss Aria," I added, a hint of worry creeping into my voice.
She frowned in confusion, her eyebrows furrowing. "Why?" she asked, her voice filled with curiosity.
"She is one of the goddesses of virtue," I explained, my voice serious. "If she finds out who you are, she might..." I trailed off, running my thumb across my neck, indicating that Aria would kill her if she found out about her true identity.
As she looked at me, her expression mixed with shock and fear. "I understand," said Evie, her voice filled with resignation.
And with that answer, I pulled her into my arms, my embrace tight and comforting.
She was shocked by my sudden actions, her body tensing for a moment before she finally relaxed into my embrace.
"Good," I murmured, my voice low and steady. "Time to go home," I added, my tone leaving no room for argument.
Without further ado, I snapped my finger and opened a portal under our feet.
My portal appeared. The darkness closed in around us like the gaping maw of an insatiable beast. The black hole consumed us whole, our bodies falling into its depths as if we were nothing more than mere morsels to be devoured.
The sensation of falling was all-consuming. But then, as the darkness receded and we emerged into the light, our bodies fell onto a soft and welcoming surface. We landed with a thud on the bed in her room.
Evie was struck speechless by the sudden turn of events. Her eyes darted around the room, taking in every detail as she tried to make sense of what had just happened. As for me, I simply got off the bed and began to get dressed, my movements fluid and practiced.
"Sorry for ruining your clothes," I said in an apologetic tone without stopping my movement. "I will buy a new one for you another time," I added. To be sure, not this month since my salary was running out.
As if finally remembering that she was naked, Evie quickly reached for a blanket to cover her body. "You don't have to..." she started to say, her voice filled with uncertainty.
But I couldn't help but turn to her, my tone firm and resolute. "Take a bath and calm yourself down," I said. "I know you're still in shock about all of this, and that it didn't go according to your plan. But I believe you've got your lesson," I added, my words heavy with implication. Well, she paid a hefty price for this lesson.
As I spoke, she answered me with a simple nod, her eyes fixed on mine as she listened to my words.
"I think that's all for today," I said, my voice firm yet gentle. "Just remember, you can't own a devil, but a devil can own you," I reminded her, my words heavy with meaning.
Again, she simply nodded in response, her eyes betraying a hint of understanding.
As I finished, I approached her and sat on the side of the bed, next to her. I leaned closer to her. She flinched, her body tensing as if expecting me to do something untoward. Her hands held the blanket tightly as if it were a shield to protect her from harm. But she was wrong.
Gently, I placed a kiss on her forehead, my lips brushing against her skin in a soft and tender gesture. And as I did, her eyes opened in surprise, her expression one of wonder and confusion.
She lifted her eyes to look at me. I smiled, my expression softening. "Don't be afraid," I reassured her, my voice low and soothing. "I won't hurt someone who is already mine," I added, my words filled with meaning.
With that, I stood up, and without waiting for her answer, I left her room.
I stepped into the elevator and it descended smoothly, carrying me down to the ground floor. As the doors opened, I stepped out into the lobby and greeted the security guard with a casual nod before I made my way to the front entrance.
After a couple of seconds of walking, I stopped my steps as I noticed a male student who just entered the academy’s gate. He was tall and lean, with messy clothes and blank eyes that seemed to stare into nothingness.
My eyes narrowed as I checked his name above his head. "John Crowwind," I muttered under my breath, my heart racing with a sense of unease.
