Alex ran as she looked backward, watching the men and the rabbits follow behind her.

She squinted her eyes and nodded. Few had noticed, but the rabbits were a little fewer than before!

“The Young master was right!” She told herself!

Three days ago, when she was running for her life after that traitor Zoe escaped by herself,

suddenly out of nowhere, she heard the voice she had been waiting for. That of Victor’s…. He seemed to have spotted her from afar and called her using a sound-transmitting talisman!

It made her a little scared that he would discover her real gender, but when he told her that he was hiding far away from her and could barely make her out she felt relieved.

He told her of a way to save herself and reduce the rabbits around! It was to attack those unfortunate men around her… He told her to focus on the burly dark-skinned ones and to try to kill them with one hit if possible! Not only would that reduce the pressure on her by making the rabbits go to deal with the corpses. It would also make them attack her less so that she would benefit them in the long run!

According to him, he planned to end this dungeon in a few days, and she must endure like a man until then!

She felt a little angry, she was not racist after all! Why does he want her to kill the dark-skinned men? All men are born equal and deserve to be killed equally!

Victor quickly clarified that those guys belonged to the same evil tribe, they were a group who kidnapped and raped women for their bloodline!

So, after convincing her and telling her that the communication was about to be cut off because of the distance, he reminded her to be careful before going silent.

Alex didn’t hesitate and quickly began executing his plan attacking all the men around her… She didn’t want to attack only the dark-skinned ones, fearing that they would call her a racist or gang up on her if they knew she was targeting them… So she randomly attacked a few random guys too but made sure not to kill them.

The plan was a success, the number of rabbits really decreased. But this created a new problem.

All the men running around her, seemingly, had all decided that she was a lunatic that needed to be killed. So they began attacking her! And of course, they failed… Those men were too weak to pose any danger to her. The strong ones around had already escaped or been eaten!

The last one to attack her was some idiot who fell on her from the top of a tree as if she couldn't notice him.

She made sure to kick him with all her strength! Hopefully, the rabbits would eat what’s left of him!

How dare he sneak attack her!

…

Victor slowly opened his eyes and looked up at Harper’s pretty face silently observing him. She was giving him a lap pillow.

The moment she noticed he woke up she quickly blushed and looked away in embarrassment.

“Are you ok now? What happened?” she asked after he said nothing for a few minutes and kept looking at her face with amusement.

“USE THE FUCKING RIGHT PRONOUN!” he scolded, ruining the romantic atmosphere that didn’t exist in the first place. “And yes this emperor is fine, just feeling a little dizzy…” he said, not explaining what happened.

“....Your disguise is off, you know,” she said, a little coldly.

“I don’t know what you are talking about!” He said, then shamelessly checked his disguise, he feared that it would have collapsed earlier due to the backlash, but nothing like that happened… It was still on.

“I have this little skill you know, it is called True sight… I noticed nothing before, but when you collapsed for a second there, I could see your true identity, Mr. Victor Von Weise!” she said coldly watching his face that was still on her lap changed his expression to that of surprise, and annoyance then relaxed again. It was quick but she saw it.

“..... You must have been mistaken…” he said while cursing silently. This was not in his plan. Probably because of this place’s strange conditions or Harper’s Scion effect, his disguise must have flickered for a split second when he collapsed, and she must have seen it because of her True Sight skill… Was she watching him this closely? Ah… It was all his fault for being so charming!

“Although your hair is now a different color not purple, I know it was you! I saw your photo in the recent Von Weise Annual Report!” she said. “So, Stop lying!”

“... “ He just glared at her. Damn it! He really didn’t want her to realize his true identity. Scions were too fickle and hard to control. Knowing his true identity would put him on her radar. “You must have been looking at my photo a lot recently…” he finally said, deciding to come clean… Not too clean.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

“Regardless…” She blushed. She was just cursing at it. The true thing was way more handsome than the photo though… “Why didn't you tell me?” she coldly asked as she watched him ponder on some stupid things.

“Tell you what?” he asked, feeling a little annoyed.

“Your true Identity… You could just tell me when you saved me there…” she asked.

“...” He thought for a moment then sighed. “For a few reasons. But mainly it was because I didn’t know you were my fiance,” he said. “In fact, my father did tell me that he had some brides for me a while back, but I never heard of you before…” he said, shrugging his shoulders.

“Ouch… That hurts,” she said. She had been running for over a month and it turned out the other party didn’t even think about her. “Why didn’t you tell me then after I informed you about me?” she asked, feeling a little salty.

“Ahh… Well… I did consider telling you that first night, but I didn't do that to protect you!” he lied. “At your current level, being near me is very dangerous,” he lied again. She was a damn Scion.

“Protect me from what?” she asked.

“My enemies! I have a lot of them. If you are my wife, they would use you against me,” he said.

“You already have a lot of wives…” she said coldly. “Don’t you want to protect them too?” she asked sarcastically.

“You are special… My current wives fall into two categories, “ He said, clearing his throat. “Most of them were my maids whom I married to protect! If something were to happen to me, I wanted them to have the status of a wife!” he said, telling the truth for once. “The others were forced on me by my family! I was forced just like you were, but as a man, I couldn’t just escape my responsibilities!” he said, gaslighting the poor girl.

“Ah… Then… Then… Why did you propose to me earlier after that?” she asked, feeling that he was playing with her but she couldn’t refute him. “Did you decide that I no longer need your protection?” she asked.

“No, I…” he hesitated. “Well… After staying a few days with you…. Somehow I began to feel that we are both compatible… Just a little bit… Hugging you made me feel very safe…” he said, looking away as if he was a little embarrassed to admit his feelings. “I just couldn’t handle the idea that you would fall for another man if I just let you go… You are mine!” he said. Blushing a little. The overbearing CEO act must have such moments of showing weakness…

“Ahh… Who said I am yours?” she asked, feeling a little shy.

“I did! The more I stay with you the more I am sure of it!”” he said, looking at her eyes firmly, making her blush and look away. This was a mistake… Now it was his time to counterattack!

“I never agreed to this arrangement…” she complained then stopped as she felt his lips touch hers. She wanted to back off or push him away, but as she was sitting on the ground, she had no way out as he pushed his body against hers, pushing her to the ground.

The kiss really took a long time. Longer than the previous one. There were no other kids around after all.

She didn’t know how it happened, but by the end of it, her hands were hugging his head hard, and her legs were already around his waist.

He had to struggle a little to let go of her. The girl was about to suffocate without realizing it after all! Damn, his bloodline had become really scary!

“You taste great!” he said as he tickled her, forcing her to retract her hand quickly to push his claws that crawled from under her very short maid skirt at some point.

“Ahh…” she blushed as she backed off a little, after realizing what she was doing.

“Maybe I should order my men to create a perfume using your scent…” he continued his monologue, totally ignoring her.

“SHUT UP!” she scolded with a blush after she pushed his dirty hand away then began to gasp for breath before wiping her lip with her sleeve. “Now give me that ’fruit’," she said, blushing like a tomato. She just wanted to leave this damn place! She was not going to surrender this easily!

She had dreams and she was not ready to let go of them for a man!

“Not yet!” he shook his head. “If you leave now, you will only have to wait as the battle stage will not start for another two days when enough participants have crossed this stage!” he explained.

“What do you want then?’ she asked, covering her chest with her hands.

“To train you! With your current skills, you would be in trouble sooner or later, and this is not a fine thing, for my wife! So for the next two days, you will go through a fighting crash course, designed by this emperor! It had already been tried and proved a success!” he said

“Stop using that stupid pronoun!” she scolded. “And I am not your wife yet!” she spat.

“We will see about that,” he said with a bright smile.

…

Levi squinted his eyes as he looked at the glass tank that was emptied and now was getting lifted. The incubation period was over!

Rita, who was suspended there for the last few weeks slowly descended to the ground, moving slowly as if she was still getting used to her new body.

“Welcome to the world of humans! Great TRICENTOR!” Levi said to the demon as he presented her with a red ominous-looking pill that she quickly grabbed and ate.

Slowly, her corpse-like appearance began to change into that of a pretty young lady. If not for her jittery movement, no one could tell that she was now a corpse possessed by a demon.

Although Rita’s body was not technically dead, It was injected with so much corpse energy that it was too damaged. That’s why they had to pay a great price to get this body repair pill for her. The plan can’t fail.

Looking at her Levi began to regret his decision to sacrifice her a little. Somehow after the incubation, she became a little sharper, and more pretty than her older self. Damn it…

“Your body’s name is Rita Von Weise!” Levi said, giving the demon a stack of documents explaining Rita’s life. Demons who possess others can naturally inherit their life skills like knowledge and habits, but they lack the memory of the body’s original owner.

“...” Rita nodded, taking the document while keeping her piercing ominous eyes on Levi, making him feel a little unsettled. This demon ghost was a high-ranking one, and those were usually very annoying to deal with. He reminded himself to be very careful.

“The plan had been changed a little, so you will have had to stay with us a little longer,” Levi said. First, the birthday party was canceled, and then their top men kept getting killed one by one. They no longer had the power to swallow the Von Weise alone, so they chose to play it a different way.

“AS LONG AS YOU ABIDE BY THE CONTRACT,” Rita said in a hoarse and strained voice as she looked around at the scientists who stood at a distance. It was as if she was looking at some kind of food.

“Of course!” Levi said, with a forced smile. “Now my men will guide you to your room where you can relax and review the relevant information… ”

“...” Rita nodded, then began to follow one of the guards who politely invited her.

“By any chance do you have any idea about a bloody moon in the sky?” Levi suddenly asked as Rita reached the door.

“BLOOD MOON?” Rita looked back at Levi with a blank expression. “CAN IT BE EATEN?” she asked.

“....Not really,” Levi responded.

“THEN THIS SEAT DOES NOT KNOW,” she answered disdainfully.
