“The Headmistress’s griffon chick…?” Kuro’s voice was laced with confusion.
The small, fluffy creature peeking through the curtains paused, its curiosity piqued by the commotion inside the classroom.
Both twins were pondering the same question.
*How did it get here? Does it have anything to do with the Headmistress?*
Such was the unspoken understanding between twins.
“It’s probably unrelated to the Headmistress,” Shiro said after a moment of contemplation.
Her gaze flickered towards Adele, who lay on the table, her skirt strategically torn, revealing a tantalizing glimpse of her smooth, pale thighs. Adele shivered, her pink eyes shimmering with unshed tears. The realization that Shiro was truly capable of terrible things had broken her spirit, reducing her to a whimpering mess.
Gone was the sassy, defiant Adele who had tormented Celeste and the others.
Adele was, without a doubt, a master of exploiting kindness and cowering before strength.
Shiro sensed a subtle shift in Adele’s demeanor. She remembered the old Adele, the one who had been more resilient, more defiant. But that had made her less… entertaining.
This new Adele, however, was softer, more vulnerable, more… appealing.
Perhaps the rumors circulating around the academy were true.
Not just the ones about Dorothy and Hermione fighting over her, but also the more outlandish ones, like “Adele and Hermione are in love, and Dorothy is the heartbroken ex.”
It wouldn’t be surprising for Adele to soften up if she was truly in love.
And the chastity curse mark on her stomach seemed to support that theory.
But regardless of Adele’s relationship with Dorothy and Hermione, it didn’t change the fact that the Amaterasu twins viewed her as their personal plaything, a source of amusement and… nourishment.
Besides, exchanging blood servants was a common practice among vampire nobles.
“So… shall we continue?” Kuro asked, glancing at her sister.
Shiro nodded, her initial enthusiasm waning. But if her sister was still interested, she was happy to be an observer.
“Do whatever you like,” she said, her voice laced with a hint of boredom. “But that chastity curse… it’s such a nuisance. We can’t even touch her.”
Kuro licked her lips, her gaze fixed on Adele. She moved behind Adele, wrapping her arms around her in a loose embrace, her long black hair cascading down Adele’s chest. “Don’t worry,” she purred, her voice a seductive whisper. “We can still have fun. Even without touching.”
“For example, we could take our little pet for a walk… after we strip her naked~”
“Tsk, you’re so predictable,” Shiro said, a cruel smile curving her lips.
“No… please… don’t,” Adele whimpered, her voice breaking.
This was the most helpless she had ever felt, trapped in a closed room with two monsters who viewed her as nothing more than a toy. Their cruelty was so casual, so effortless, that even Dorothy, in all her madness and arrogance, seemed almost tame in comparison.
And Hermione, the cold, aloof Ice Queen… well, she was practically an angel.
Adele missed Celeste, her loyal dog. And Tang Linlang, with her sweet naiveté and unwavering determination. Even Sharon, the timid little angel…
Adele swore that if she ever escaped this, she would change her ways.
She would become a good girl!
But promises made in moments of desperation were easily forgotten once the danger had passed. And Adele, with her penchant for mischief… well, she probably wouldn’t change at all.
Kuro ignored Adele’s pleas, her smile widening as she picked up the scissors from the floor. As a high-ranking vampire, she had been taught that there was no need to suppress her desires. She was a descendant of a True Ancestor, her bloodline destined for greatness!
Of course, that kind of thinking didn’t fly at a human-run academy. Kuro and Shiro, despite their arrogance, were smart enough to restrain themselves. This place was teeming with powerful individuals, from the enigmatic humans to the monstrously talented vampires like Dorothy and Hermione.
But with Adele, a powerless half-vampire… well, they could do whatever they pleased.
The scissors gleamed in Kuro’s hand, their sharp blades reflecting the light. As she approached Adele, the girl sobbed uncontrollably, squeezing her eyes shut.
And then, something unexpected happened.
“Meow?”
A soft, inquisitive meow echoed in Adele’s ears. She felt a weight settle on her shoulder, as if a small, fluffy creature had landed there.
She opened her eyes, and a pair of round, blue eyes, like sapphires, stared back at her. The creature’s body was soft and warm, its golden wings fluttering gently.
“Ooh…”
Before Adele could react, the winged cat licked her cheek, its rough tongue sending a strange tingling sensation across her skin. It wasn’t exactly pleasant, but it wasn’t unpleasant either. It was simply… odd.
But it was clear that the creature was being affectionate.
Adele remembered the twins’ conversation. This must be the Headmistress’s griffon chick.
Adele didn’t know much about the creature itself, but she knew that Winona, its owner, was incredibly powerful. In the original story, she had even faced a True Ancestor head-on! A true Legendary Mage.
But what did that have to do with her pet?
Adele was surprised by the griffon chick’s appearance, but she wasn’t exactly reassured.
Still, if the twins, out of respect for Winona, decided to spare her… well, that would be the best possible outcome.
If she could escape this, she would stay far, far away from these two witches.
Until she was strong enough to seek revenge.
As expected, Kuro frowned, her annoyance evident.
*Damn this stupid cat! Why did it have to show up now?*
But… she had made sure the classroom was sealed. How had the griffon chick gotten in?
She glanced at Shiro, who was deep in thought, her brow furrowed.
Then, Shiro pulled a dried fish snack out of her pocket, a mischievous smile curving her lips.
“Here, kitty kitty~” she called out, tossing the fish across the room.
The griffon chick immediately abandoned Adele, its attention captured by the treat. It swooped down, snatching the fish in its beak.
Adele and Kuro stared at Shiro, their expressions identical.
—*Where the hell did you get that?*
Even Kuro, Shiro’s twin sister, was surprised by this unexpected development.
Despite being twins, they had their own quirks and habits.
Shiro always carried snacks for stray animals and pets. But she was also incredibly cruel and ruthless towards Adele.
Perhaps it was because Adele wasn’t her “pet” yet?
But what truly baffled Adele was the fact that the Headmistress’s griffon chick… had abandoned her for a dried fish snack!
That greedy little glutton!
Hope, so briefly ignited, flickered and died.
But the world wasn’t done tormenting Adele just yet.
Just when she thought all was lost, her eyes widened, a spark of hope igniting within them.
Even Kuro and Shiro tensed, their expressions turning wary.
Because they heard… Hermione’s voice!
Adele’s wife had arrived!
