Chapter 27
Relax, Dizziness Is Normal
Henry encountered his first major setback in life at the hands of Lilith.
The key point was that he never expected Lilith to be such a hungry young woman. What was with this contrast route for a supposedly cold maid? Wasn’t the plan supposed to be about him conquering an icy beauty?
Now, the academy had one more heartbroken young man.
Henry wearily opened his eyes, his mind blank and his body feeling utterly drained. The aftereffects of the “sleep-inducing black tea” Lilith prepared for him were strong.
He propped himself up and realized his clothes had already been changed.
Who knew what Lilith had done to him last night?
‘If you’re going to do something like this, at least do it when I’m conscious!’
Henry let out a long groan while holding his waist. Just then, Lilith pushed open his door.
As usual, she was dressed in her maid outfit, her expression no different from any other day. It was as if the version of her from yesterday had been replaced by someone else.
“Young Master Henry, it seems you had a very comfortable sleep.”
“Lilith, do you really think what you fed me last night would give me a good sleep?”
“But I made sure you slept very well.”
As she spoke, Lilith deliberately licked her lips, as if hinting at what Henry had experienced the night before.
“So, you defiled me!”
Henry clutched his chest, his face the very picture of a victim who had been violated by a rogue.
“Not exactly. I just had a little taste. If you want more, that’s possible too—but only when I’m in a good mood.”
Hah, this woman was completely obsessed with him!
Henry stabbed his fork into the thoroughly cooked fish in front of him, then proceeded to eat it as if it were Lilith.
Meanwhile, across from him, Lilith’s usually cold lips curled into a fleeting smile.
To Lilith, Henry now seemed more like a child.
It was hard to imagine what kind of resolve he had mustered to leave the Rumelter Family.
After all, most discarded heirs of noble families ended up dying in some forgotten corner.
But for someone like Henry, who had trampled over the family’s chosen successor to rise to power? That was practically unheard of.
Lilith wasn’t stupid.
When Sherisa first assigned her to Henry, it was clearly for surveillance—to extract more secrets from him.
But she figured Henry probably knew that better than she did.
This guy had the audacity to crack lewd jokes at her, so of course she had to teach him a lesson.
Otherwise, if Henry kept dancing on her bottom line, things would get very troublesome for her.
Still, judging from last night’s events… his reactions were quite entertaining.
And… his physique was unexpectedly nice.
Lilith stood up to pour Henry a glass of juice, then began reporting his schedule for the day.
“Today’s lesson is Magical Fundamentals and Management. But given that you have zero magical talent, I suggest you seek tutoring from Her Highness the Princess.”
“Ouch. Must you always state facts that wound me?”
“My apologies. I’ll definitely do it again next time.”
“Then why not ask Sherisa instead of the Princess? Aren’t you Sherisa’s person?”
“Because in terms of magical talent, Her Highness is a genius. Miss Sherisa isn’t bad either, but she still falls short compared to the Princess.”
Who knew how Sherisa would react if she heard Lilith say that?
But Lilith wasn’t wrong—the Princess’s control over magic was likely the best among the freshmen.
Besides, the Princess had invited him to meet her yesterday.
In that case, he had no reason to refuse.
“Lilith, can you use magic?”
Henry was curious. He had never seen Lilith cast a spell before.
She always moved like a ghost, never revealing any combat skills.
But based on Henry’s guess, Lilith had to be strong.
“I can. In fact, I used it right in front of you last night.”
Lilith said this with a straight face.
Henry froze, his mind scrambling to recall.
He didn’t remember seeing her use magic at all!
Had she used it to clean the entire room or something?
“Wait, no—I never saw you use magic! Unless your magic is cleaning garbage?”
Hearing this, Lilith suddenly smiled.
The moment Henry saw her expression, he knew something was very wrong.
Instinctively, he tried to stand and run—but his body felt like all strength had been drained away.
At the same time, his entire body grew hot, his heartbeat accelerated, and his breathing turned ragged.
Lilith slowly pulled on her lace gloves, then stepped toward him in her high heels.
“Young Master Henry is so smart. My magic does help my master eliminate unnecessary impurities.”
“Stay away from me!!!”
“Don’t be afraid. Shouldn’t this be a pleasurable experience?”
Lilith slipped under the table, emerging right beneath Henry.
Henry gulped. He had a pretty good idea of what was about to happen.
Damn it, this time he was fully conscious while being defiled!
His gaze fell on the half-eaten fish on the table.
Why did it feel like he was the one lying on that plate now?
A slender hand suddenly grasped what felt like a big fish, sending a jolt through Henry’s entire body.
Lilith’s face took on a seductive expression, her voice laced with amusement.
“Relax, dizziness is normal.”
She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, then lowered her head…
*****
Henry had every reason to believe Lilith had done this on purpose!
She must have drugged his breakfast just to make him relive last night’s events.
To think he’d be outplayed by a maid!
Gritting his teeth, Henry forced himself to stand.
But faced with Lilith’s flushed face, Henry couldn’t bring himself to be hard on her.
He’d been completely drained!
Lilith wiped her lips with a handkerchief, satisfied, then gently helped Henry into his coat.
“Young Master, can you still walk? If you’re tired, I can request leave on your behalf.”
“Are you mocking me?”
Henry glared at her, but to Lilith, he looked like an angry kitten—one that would calm down after a few pets.
“I wouldn’t dare mock you. Young Master’s physique is truly impressive.”
Lilith wasn’t lying.
Henry might lack magical talent, but his physical training progress was remarkable. She had secretly observed him training these past few days, and his improvement was visible.
At this rate, she wasn’t sure if her special concoctions would remain effective.
Should she increase the dosage?
Lilith seemed lost in thought over this questionable dilemma.
Meanwhile, Henry was already limping out the door, holding his waist.
He felt like he couldn’t stay in this house any longer.
Lilith was like a succubus—if he stayed in her sight for too long, he’d probably lose years off his lifespan.
