“I do,” Shien could only touch his nose and say, “But can you really blame me for all of this?”
“I know,” Shafney said softly, “If I truly wanted to blame you, do you think you would still be in one piece?”
Shien shuddered. The implication was that he would have lost a limb or two, if not his life.
As expected of a Demon Lord, ruthless.
“Then… then tell me, why was your power suppressed whenever you entered my dream or tried to do something to me?” Shien quickly changed the subject.
“…I don’t know,” Shafney said after a moment of silence, her expression calm, “Do you have any ideas?”
“Ideas…” Shien frowned.
“Yes,” Shafney looked at him seriously, “For example, have you experienced anything unusual, anything that caused something to appear within your body?”
“This…” Shien was confused. Experiencing something unusual that caused something to appear within his body? He couldn’t say for sure that he hadn’t. Since coming to this world, he had experienced many unexplainable things.
Shien hesitated.
Shafney seemed to notice this.
“Alright, don’t think about it if you can’t figure it out,” she said nonchalantly, “You, the Hero, are already mysterious enough. It’s not surprising for you to have a few more secrets.”
It was just that no one knew what these secrets entailed.
Shien himself was also aware of his situation.
“I know I have many secrets, and I’m also trying to uncover them,” he sighed, “If you don’t trust me, a supposed enemy of the Demon Race, then you can wait. I’ll uncover all my secrets eventually.”
Shien made this decision.
Seeing him like this, Shafney’s eyes flickered.
Then, she said almost subconsciously,
“I didn’t say I don’t trust you. You’re mine now.”
These words silenced the room.
Shien, surprised, didn’t expect her to say this.
Shafney, realizing what she had just said, wanted to find a hole to hide in, her head lowered, her face flushed with embarrassment.
This made Shien’s heart pound. He swallowed nervously and said,
“Um, I haven’t… while awake…”
Shafney understood what he meant.
“What… what do you want to do?” she asked, hugging her pillow and instinctively inching backwards, “You’ve already tormented me three times! I really can’t do it again!”
Her terrified expression, however, only fueled Shien’s desire.
“I’m awake this time, so I’ll definitely be gentle,” he said, approaching her.
One approaching, the other retreating, the scene was like when Shafney brought Shien into her room before.
However, their roles were now reversed.
Before, it was Shafney teasing Shien, arousing him while he didn’t dare to touch her.
Now, since the deed was done, Shien no longer held back. His pent-up frustration led to his loss of control tonight.
So, the wolf pounced, and the little lamb cried out before being subdued.
In the end, Shien and Shafney didn’t get much rest that night.
