Chapter 19: I Want to Possess Her, Make Her My Own

“Bye-bye~ Big bro, see you later, sis-in-law.”

Ruina made a funny face and ran away, ignoring Laiyinmute’s murderous glare.

‘If I don’t run now, I really think my brother will kick me out of the house.’

Laiyinmute let out a sigh.

‘This little troublemaker is finally gone. These half a month have really tormented me.’

Raphael was off to the side, waving goodbye as she watched Ruina’s gradually retreating figure.

Only when Ruina’s figure completely disappeared from their sight did Laiyinmute turn around and prepare to go inside.

“She’s gone. Stop looking. Finally got her off our hands.”

He stretched his neck, and a cracking sound reached Raphael’s ears.

Raphael followed him inside.

Somehow, as soon as she returned home, she felt it wasn’t as lively as before.

Laiyinmute drank some juice and sat down on the sofa, looking completely relaxed.

Raphael sat quietly beside him, lost in thought.

“By the way, Raphael, do you have any brothers or sisters?”

Laiyinmute asked out of curiosity.

Raphael nodded instinctively, but then shook her head.

Laiyinmute had noticed recently that every time he interacted with Ruina, his little maid would show an expression different from usual.

Even if Raphael didn’t admit it, he could guess roughly what was going on.

Raphael spoke sullenly.

“Hmm… I have a younger sister. She’s very cute and smart.”

Laiyinmute scratched his head.

“Have you considered visiting her? If you want, I can give you some time off to go see her.”

Raphael shook her head, her expression sad yet somewhat relieved.

“That’s not necessary, Master. She and I are no longer on the same path. She has her way, and I have mine.”

Seeing Raphael like this, Laiyinmute couldn’t help but become curious.

She had never mentioned having a sister in front of him before.

And her sister must also be a demon. If that was the case…

Noticing Laiyinmute’s scrutinizing gaze, Raphael thought briefly and decided to tell the truth.

After all, Xila was human.

‘With the Sword Saint’s name, a little care shouldn’t be a problem.’

“My sister is a human. She’s a very cute girl. I learned cooking from her.”

“Human?”

Laiyinmute was somewhat surprised.

Could demons and humans have this kind of relationship?

Even though he was surprised, since he knew of human siblings as an example, he wasn’t overly shocked.

You have to understand that demons and humans have always been at odds.

The empire’s high officials were like that, and many commoners also gnashed their teeth in hatred toward demons.

The only ones who had a better attitude toward demons were himself and the faction of the Pope of the Church of the Light Goddess.

Of course, there were probably other motives as well.

“Master, aren’t you afraid that I’ll run away like this?”

Raphael looked at him dazedly, feeling bitter inside.

‘So Laiyinmute really listened to Ruina and plans to abandon me after all?’

‘He was the one who told me not to run away in the first place. Why does it seem now that he wants me to go?’

Laiyinmute’s heart tightened suddenly, and an extremely uneasy feeling arose within him.

Despite his inner turmoil, upon hearing Raphael’s words, Laiyinmute pretended to be relaxed, took a slow sip of juice, and spoke leisurely.

“What, you want to run?”

Even though it was a question, Raphael heard it as a statement.

Raphael quickly shook her head, indicating she had no such intention; she was just asking casually.

She hadn’t expected Laiyinmute to react so strongly.

Laiyinmute grabbed Raphael’s chin and forced her to meet his eyes.

A big smile hung at the corner of his mouth.

“Remember what I said from the very beginning? I told you once the Master-Servant Contract is established, even if you die, I can still know where you are.”

Raphael felt the hand gripping her chin tighten continuously, to the point where her bones ached.

She let out a soft cry.

“Mm… Master, it hurts. Don’t… don’t do this.”

Although Laiyinmute knew he was a bit out of control, he only slightly lessened his grip.

He pushed Raphael down onto the sofa, her snow-white hair spreading out over it.

Her eyes looked at him blankly, as if she didn’t know what was happening.

Laiyinmute pressed his face very close to Raphael’s, so close they could feel each other’s heartbeats.

Hot breaths hit both their faces.

The distance between them was a hair’s breadth.

“If you want to run, I don’t mind breaking your limbs, chaining you up with iron chains, and turning you into a pet that can only call my name~”

Laiyinmute said this with a smile, but it made Raphael’s body tremble slightly.

Laiyinmute looked at the panicked expression of the girl beneath him, his eyes filled with delight.

He looked at her pink lips, slightly parted due to panic.

A thought surged in his mind.

‘I want to completely… possess her.’

‘I’ll just collect some interest first.’

Then, as if having made up his mind, he moved even closer.

Raphael struggled, but only felt a warmth on her lips.

Her eyes widened sharply, and she let out muffled sounds.

Her lips were captured by Laiyinmute’s.

“Mm… mmm.”

Laiyinmute’s kissing technique was terrible, like a dog gnawing. He just kept taking.

At first, she resisted with all her might, but as the seconds ticked by, that layer of defense was gradually breached by Laiyinmute’s sharp sword.

As he deepened the kiss, Raphael’s mind became clouded with a thin mist.

Her consciousness grew fainter.

From initial resistance, she became non-resistant and surrendered.

In the end, she even began to actively meet Laiyinmute’s assault.

Her arms climbed up Laiyinmute’s back, and their distance at this moment became nonexistent.

A single clear tear slipped from the corner of her eye.

She knew she could never go back.

After an unknown amount of time, Laiyinmute got up and pulled back a little.

The girl in his arms had hazy eyes.

Her pink tongue was still sticking out slightly, as if still craving.

Her small face was covered in tear stains.

Her eyes were slightly red.

She fiercely slapped Laiyinmute across the face, and tears continued to fall from her eyes.

Raphael used all her strength to push off the weight pressing down on her and ran into her room in panic.

She nearly stumbled a few times.

Laiyinmute wanted to help her, but thinking about what he had just done, he didn’t dare move.

Laiyinmute covered his stinging cheek, and the inexplicable rage in his mind subsided at that moment.

He shook his head, feeling a surge of remorse.

The moment he thought about what he had just done, he wanted to slap himself.

And that’s exactly what he did.

He slapped himself, using full force for this chapter.

Two palm prints—one big, one small—on his face looked somewhat ridiculous.

He looked up at the ceiling and couldn’t snap out of it for a long time.

Staring at his trembling hand, he kept questioning himself.

‘Why did I do this? What made me do it?’

When he learned that Raphael might leave him, his mind had instantly stopped working.

‘There was only one thought in my mind: I can’t let her run away. I have to keep her here for good.’

‘She’s just a demon, a maid. But why did I do this?’

He couldn’t understand it.

Even after sitting on the sofa for a long time, he still didn’t get it.

He just sat there in a daze.

Raphael lay face down on the bed, occasionally letting out sobs.

The blanket was soaked with her tears, telling of her unwillingness and confusion.
