Chapter 69: Lilith’s Protective Fury
Theo pushed against the ground as if driven by gears and levers, hauling himself to a shaky stance. His intense eyes collided with Aerin's. A flicker of fear danced in girl's own moist eyes, increasing as he took each weary step towards her.
Slowly, Theo began to unbutton his shirt one by one, never severing the eye contact he had with Aerin.
"No...please, don't do this," she stammered, her voice flowed with despair. Tears spilled from her eyes, making a wet path down her cheeks.
Ignoring her plea, Theo advanced further with a chilling laugh that seemed to come from a disturbed place within him. Aerin's legs thrashed in a futile effort to fend him off, but bound and shackled as she was, her attempts were in vain. She felt her heart drumming in her chest as he circled behind her, a prey unable to escape her predator.
Her anguished cries continued, satisfying the guard outside who assumed the wild performance had begun. He murmured, “My task is done now. I should report it to the princess.” With those words, he began to walk away.
As Theo positioned himself behind Aerin, her scream and cries kept growing. He waited. Waited for her to expend her cries and fears.
Several agonizing minutes dragged by before Aerin felt the warm cloth covering her eyes and darkness enveloped her sight. She snapped at his hand with her teeth, her body writhing against her restraints.
"How can you do this to me?" she hissed in a desperate tone.
"It's your beloved sister who gave me this pill. It's driving me and I'm not entirely in control," Theo responded, his voice tinged with bitterness.
"You son of a bi#ch, you $#$#, $#g$#, You're just like every other man," Aerin unleashed a barrage of curses, tears continuing to stream down her flushed face.
"Maybe choose a better line. You've mistreated me in the past because of your sister. Let me show you how depraved a human can be," Theo retorted icily.
"If you touch me, I will kill you… You will rot in hell, and die like a worm. You Bast#rd.” Just as Aerin prepared another volley of curses, she was silenced by a heavy thud.
As if someone had collapsed against the ground, Aerin understood what was happening. She sensed Theo's struggle, his body resisting the pill's nefarious influence, spasming with the agony it induced.
Aerin couldn't comprehend why he was still tormented by pain, considering he had already made the decision to violate her body in order to survive. She understood that this suffering would only cease when he allowed his lust to take control, yet he continued to resist. So, why had he blindfolded her if he was still resisting the pill’s effect? What was his true intention?
After a moment that felt like an eternity, Theo spoke again in a hushed tone, his heavy breathe showing his exhaustion. "Do you want to be freed from this place?"
Hearing his words, she momentarily paused; as she contemplated her options, she finally said, “Yes, I do. But… I won’t let you do anything to me,” Aerin replied, knowing he had endured another session of pain without violating her. But, she couldn't keep her voice down.
"You're tied by these chains, so how exactly are you planning to stop me if I chose to do something?" he whispered, glancing at the glowing chains that were of clearly lower inferior than the ones used in the basement’s room of his baronial mansion.
Caught in the inarguable logic of his statement, Aerin found herself speechless. He was right.
Seizing the moment of her silence and avoiding further barrage of curses, Theo decided to cut the twisted game short and reveal his true intentions. "Keep your voice down and follow my instructions if you want your freedom. Otherwise, I'll leave you here, and your sister will finish what she started." he commanded, unaware that the person guarding outside had already left.
Aerin was shocked by his suggestion, but she quickly understood and agreed, "Anything, as long as you don't do anything disgusting to me," she replied in a pleading tone.
"That ‘disgusting thing’ you refer to is called love-making. That’s how you and everyone came into this world, so you should at least think before you judge. Besides, I have no desire to make love to you, even if I die squirming like a worm here," he delivered a cold insult, causing her into a shamed silence.
After a brief stillness, she asked, reducing her voice to a meek whisper, "So, what do I have to do?"
"I'm going to carry you away from here, but don't attack me or attempt to remove your blindfold. If you act against me in any way, I will have no choice but to kill you on the spot," Theo said, his words as cold as ice.
He could have abandoned her and fled on his own, yet he had decided to save her, surmising that her life would come to an end if he left her behind. He needed her to comply with his plan.
"Okay, as you say... But how long will you keep my eyes covered?" Aerin inquired, her voice quivered with nervousness.
Before he could answer, another surge of pain ripped through him, threatening to subdue his resolve. He chose to fight hard with the agony rather than succumb to the insidious effect of the pill that could throw his hormones wild.
Aerin listened, her heart pounding as she heard his strangled groans and the sounds of his body writhing in torment. A stretched moment passed before the noise ceased.
Theo gasped, his face covered with sweat as he fought for breath. "Just… Just cooperate for a little while. I'll tell you when you can remove your blindfold. Are you ready?"
She nodded, but her brows furrowed in puzzlement. "But how are you going to break these high level magic imbued chains? Elara said not even Grandpa can destroy them."
Suddenly, she felt the chains that bound her evaporating from her skin like cold mist. Astonishment enveloped the girl; her heart stuttered in disbelief.
'Just who is he?' she pondered.
A memory from the forest surfaced, when the chains around Neria dissolved like smoke. It had also been Theo at that time. Now she understood it had something to do with him. Yet, how could someone without mana achieve what even her powerful grandpa could not? She was unaware that the boy before her possessed a spell for Magic Nullification, a unique ability that had served him well on multiple occasions to save others.
Aerin felt strong hands grip her thighs and neck as she was lifted into the air. Everything was dark, and her own arms instinctively found their way around his neck, wrapping around it. She heard the rhythm of his steps becoming faster. As they moved, the stifling air of the room shifted to the fresh breeze of the night sky.
With no time to spare, Theo had cast a portal inside the prison, immediately stepping into his farm. He had previously briefed Demoness to keep quiet upon his arrival.
Lilith watched Aerin with a predatory gaze, taking note of Theo's bridal carry. She made a grumpy face and glared at the young man, who remained unfazed by her intimidated stare.
Hurrying toward the Nexus Demonic Farm Teleporter, Theo altered its coordinates to his Baron's mansion. Within moments, they appeared in his bedroom, where Lilith also followed.
The moment they appeared, Theo carefully placed Aerin onto the bed. But just as quickly, his expression darkened; he gritted his teeth and, unable to keep himself any longer, collapsed onto the ground with a thudding sound.
Aerin sensed that she had been placed on the bed, followed by a thud beside her.
"Theo..." Lilith's voice quivered, her eyes flickering in horror at the sight of him collapsing so suddenly. She knelt beside his convulsing body, her hands anxiously patting his cheeks to comfort him. His spasms frightened her, filling her with fear as she couldn’t comprehend what was causing his suffering.
Aerin was curious about the sudden voice, so she questioned cautiously, "Who is this?"
Lilith quickly rose, her eyes snapping to Aerin as she forcefully removed the blindfold from the elven girl's eyes, which came off easily as it wasn't tightly tied.
"Who did this to him?" Her eyes glinted with a murderous rage that sent chills down Aerin's spine.
Aerin's eyes met Lilith's furious gaze. Although the girl was remarkably beautiful, but her angered expression and a visible, murderous glint in her eyes caused Aerin to feel immense pressure.
"Lilith?" she whispered, her voice wavered with fear.
Wasting no time, Lilith lunged at Aerin, her fingers curling around the elf girl's neck as she pushed her violently against the wall.
"Answer me. Who did this to him?" The commanding voice of Lilith, caused Aerin’s heart to shiver. She felt pain all over her back, and struggled to breathe under the strain of Lilith’s grip.
By this ruckus, hurried footsteps approached as the door to the room was pushed open. Aerin's eyes, choked by Lilith's hold, were desperate for help.
From the door, another girl entered. “Master… you're back?” As Elana saw the scene inside the room, she paused momentarily.
Upon surveying the room, she ignored the struggle between Lilith and Aerin and moved quickly to Theo, who was writhing in apparent agony on the floor.
Lilith released Aerin, who tumbled onto the bed before rolling off onto the floor. She then picked up Theo in a bridal carry and gently placed him on the bed. It was the second time she had seen him in such extreme pain.
Tears forming in her eyes, Elana turned to Aerin. "How did this happen?"
Theo lay there, still battling the tormenting effects of the pill, unable to utter a word.
Aerin, pushing off the floor and gasping for breath, stood up and began to explain. “My sister intended to kill me and gave him an Aphroflamora pill. He's trying to resist its effect so he doesn't lose control over himself. But he saved me and brought me here.” As she spoke, her eyes swept the room, but eventually rested on Theo, who was visibly struggling against the pain.
Upon hearing this, Lilith's face hardened like that of a fierce lioness defending her cub. "One day, I will make your sister beg for death," she declared viciously.
Aerin and even Elana visibly flinched at her fury.
Just then, Theo regained his composure as the effect subsided temporarily. "Demoness, calm yourself. She is not the enemy," he spoke, taking a moment to fill his lungs with breath.
"Why didn't you call for me earlier?" Lilith demanded, her eyes filled with concern and anger.
‘We need to discuss this alone; there are outsiders present,’ Theo communicated through their telepathic link, causing Lilith to close her mouth, although her glaring gaze remained same.
He then turned to Elana. "Please escort her to a room and help her get settled in the mansion. Do not come to see me in my room. I'll be fine as long as you both stay away."
"But Master..." Elana's voice trailed off, her expression filled with reluctance and concern. Her eyes glanced at Theo, searching for some sign that she could stay.
Aerin spoke solemnly. "If you keep resisting the pill, you may die. I've never seen any prisoner survive even eight hours after taking one. They either bite their own tongues to choose an easy death or die by the overwhelming pain."
Upon hearing this, a bittersweet smile appeared on Theo's face. "Do you plan to help me find relief then?" He looked genuinely curious to know the answer, his eyes studying Aerin's reaction closely.
Her face flushed with a shade of pink, her eyes darting away as her mouth opened but no words came out. Her hesitation was obvious.
Seizing the moment, Elana stepped closer and announced, "Master, I can help--"
"Get out of my sight. Both of you," Theo's voice broke through, sharp and icy as he snapped his eyes shut.
Hearing his harsh command, Lilith turned her gaze toward the two young women. Her eyes bore into them like piercing daggers, reinforcing Theo's demand.
Frightened by this demoness, who seemed even more intimidating and frighenting than any villain they had encountered before, Elana and Aerin had no choice but to leave with reluctance.
