Holy Blood Academy dormitory, Catherine’s bedroom.
No matter how imposing she had been when she defeated the Third-rank Blood Beast Shadow Blood Wolf before, Lorevil was now just as embarrassingly pathetic in front of Catherine.
Lorevil closed her eyes, waiting for the soft touch to come.
But the next second—
That scorching hot lip, tinged with a hint of coolness, landed right beside Lorevil’s restless cherry lips.
Yet it didn’t fully kiss her.
Lorevil’s pretty face showed confusion. ‘Did Catherine change her mind and decide not to bite?’
“Do you know? That bastard Laide’an has always had his eyes on me?”
The darkened Catherine didn’t bite down immediately.
Instead, she spoke as if teasing her prey.
The girl helplessly rolled her eyes and pouted.
‘I’ve never even heard of this guy. How would I know anything about him?’
“Hmph!”
Seeing that the girl didn’t answer, Catherine parted her rosy lips slightly and bit down on Lorevil’s soft earlobe.
The force wasn’t heavy, but it carried a hint of undeniable, punishment-like meaning.
“…”
A tingling numbness spread through Lorevil’s entire body, making her let out an involuntary gasp.
“Laide’an?”
Struggling against the numbness, Lorevil barely managed to open her mouth and ask.
“He wants to marry into my family, to use the Catherine Family’s influence to climb higher. It’s disgusting.”
Catherine snorted coldly first, then explained with a hint of grievance.
“That is really annoying.”
Lorevil nodded in agreement, while secretly feeling pleased.
‘Although Noxia is technically a fiancée arranged by my family, she’s kind-hearted, gentle, and virtuous—a girl worth getting to know. Compared to her, that noble named Laide’an is just plain detestable, throwing his family’s weight around and bullying students at the academy.’
“But still, hmph… You beat him today, and that made me happy.”
The coldness in Catherine’s eyes faded, replaced by a soft smile.
Her pretty face flushed with the afterglow of alcohol, carrying a hint of shyness and sweetness.
She looked exactly like a little girl who had let down all her defenses, pouring out her heart.
“There’s something like that?”
Lorevil was stunned, then looked at Catherine in surprise.
She really hadn’t expected that defeating Laide’an would make Catherine show such a charmingly naive side.
Catherine nodded, her icy blue eyes shimmering with watery light.
She licked Lorevil’s cheek, as if tasting some delicacy, a satisfied expression appearing on her face.
Lorevil’s eyes widened.
She could feel Catherine’s warm lips moving, her hot breath spraying onto her skin.
“Catherine…”
After all, Catherine had an intangible allure that could easily make the weakened Lorevil lose her resistance.
“Lorevil, do you think you still have room to resist now?”
Catherine’s lips curled into a playful smile as she spoke softly.
Seeing Lorevil struggle desperately and instinctively try to pull away from her touch, Catherine grew even more excited.
“Stop dodging. Just be good.”
Catherine said, pressing Lorevil’s head against her chest, feeling her rapid breathing.
Lorevil could sense Catherine’s heartbeat accelerating, but she was powerless.
Catherine’s expression grew more and more intoxicated.
She squinted slightly, as if fully enjoying Lorevil’s reaction.
“Catherine, don’t be like this. Calm down.”
Lorevil knew Catherine was dangerous right now, not in her right mind.
Once she woke up, she would definitely regret what she did today.
So she struggled, twisting her body, trying to break free.
Catherine’s fingers tightly intertwined with Lorevil’s hair, forcibly lifting her pretty face up.
She seemed to have prepared everything, just waiting for this final moment.
Lorevil also understood what was about to happen.
She futilely twisted her neck, turning her head to avoid the breath thick with alcohol.
The gap in strength was too great.
The girl, stuck in her weakened state, was no match for Catherine.
Sure enough—
Catherine used just one hand to forcefully and easily hold Lorevil’s head still.
The possessiveness in her eyes was almost tangible.
Her other fair hand clamped onto Lorevil’s chin and applied a little pressure.
“!”
Her icy lips, reeking of hot alcohol, slammed down fiercely.
Unlike Catherine’s previous peck-like kiss—
“Lorevil, you’re not being good.”
Catherine let out a low laugh, pinching Lorevil’s chin hard.
“Cough… let me go…”
It hurts!
Lorevil grunted in pain, and her teeth instinctively parted.
Lorevil silently recited in her heart, full of guilt toward her fiancée who was at home.
‘Noxia, I’m sorry!’
“So sweet.”
Catherine murmured, her icy blue eyes melting with watery warmth.
Her lips glistened with crystalline moisture, and she smiled seductively and contentedly.
Lorevil couldn’t breathe well and started coughing.
“Cough, cough…”
After being toyed with, Lorevil felt nothing but a mix of humiliation and anger, completely at Catherine’s mercy.
‘How can I make Catherine calm down quickly and lower her Darkness Value?’
Lorevil was so frustrated she could barely breathe.
‘If I weren’t in my weakened state, I would definitely fight back against Catherine. I’d never give in, never bow my head. Getting bullied by Catherine this time was just an accident.’
Catherine noticed the uneaten bento box on the table, and her icy blue eyes lit up.
“I forgot you haven’t had lunch yet. Sorry, I got a little too excited just now.”
With that, Catherine picked up a knife and fork and speared a piece of tender blood deer steak.
The meat juices dripped from the blade, leaving tiny red traces on the white porcelain plate.
“Go on, give it a try, Lorevil.”
“Teacher Catherine, I can do it myself—”
Before she could finish, Catherine reached out and turned Lorevil’s face toward her.
“Not allowed.”
Catherine smiled, moving swiftly, and twisted Lorevil’s face to face her.
“Today, let me feed you. Consider it a reward for my dear after all your hard work.”
Lorevil fell silent.
‘I can’t just agree to this. Noxia is my fiancée.’
But given Catherine’s current state, if she refused, her Darkness Value would definitely spike again.
Sure enough—
Seeing Lorevil’s silence and lack of immediate agreement, Catherine’s Darkness Value quickly climbed a notch.
Her icy blue eyes began to turn dangerous again.
‘Do I really have to agree?’
Lorevil hesitated.
Catherine didn’t give her a chance to refuse.
She forced Lorevil’s mouth open and shoved the still-warm piece of meat inside.
Lorevil could only passively chew and swallow.
Her pretty face was stuffed full, like a little beast forced to eat.
Tears of humiliation welled up in her eyes, almost spilling over.
“Is it good? Eat slowly, no one’s going to take it from you.”
But Catherine watched with great interest, completely satisfied.
She used her fair fingers to wipe away the dripping sauce.
Only after finishing feeding the entire bento did Catherine squint with satisfaction.
She picked up her own portion and wolfed it down.
Then, Catherine grabbed the remaining half bottle of blood wine, tilted her head back, and gulped down several mouthfuls, exuding a wild, seductive charm.
Lorevil glanced at the Darkness Value again and saw that after being fed, it had dropped to thirty percent.
At the same time, she took the opportunity to absorb the blood energy inside her, recovering the stamina she had overdrawn during the earlier battle.
“Come on, have a sip with me.”
After drinking, Catherine’s eyes became dazed again.
She shook the bottle in her hand, which now had only a little blood wine left.
“No! Absolutely not!”
Lorevil refused outright, shaking her head like a rattle-drum.
She knew too well that if she drank too much, she’d lose her clarity and pass out.
Then, facing Catherine, she’d truly have no way to fight back.
What’s more, the smell of alcohol would be detected by Noxia once she returned to the mansion, and that would be an even bigger problem.
“Just one sip, okay?”
Catherine licked her lips, revealing a pair of fangs between her fine teeth.
Her emotions were no longer as intense as at the beginning; instead, she spoke coaxingly.
“After you drink, I’ll do whatever you say. You can have your way with me.”
With that, Catherine brought the wine bottle to Lorevil’s lips and tilted it slightly.
“Drip… drip…”
The scarlet wine flowed through Lorevil’s lips, causing her to cough violently, tears streaming down involuntarily.
Mixed with the crimson wine, they trickled across her pale, delicate little face.
But Catherine laughed especially happily, tilting her own head back to drink as well.
Using the drunkenness, she threw herself onto Lorevil’s neck, popped out her fangs, and bit down hard.
Lorevil trembled in pain, cold sweat pouring down, her eyes brimming with tears.
Unlike Loriditia, Catherine actually held back the urge to suck blood, only leaving a hickey.
Finally, with a “thump,” she collapsed heavily onto the sofa, completely unconscious.
Her fair, slender legs were crossed over each other.
“You’re drunk. Nothing happened to you, but I’m the one who got into trouble.”
Lorevil struggled to get up, glanced at Catherine’s disheveled state, shook her head, and gave a wry smile.
“What a useless drunk who can’t hold her liquor! And I had to put up with all this humiliation today.”
Wiping the meat juice and tear stains off her face, and smelling the thick alcohol on her clothes, Lorevil felt her head throbbing.
“This… when I get back, how am I supposed to explain this to my wife Noxia?”
