“Damn it, you can trust the principal as much as you can trust a pig to climb a tree!” This was Adele’s first thought after she regained consciousness.

How else could she explain Dorothy barging into her home and… doing that to her?

Perhaps the protection the principal had in mind and the protection Adele envisioned were two completely different concepts.

Not to mention the tricky concept of “privacy.”

Was it better to give up privacy for comprehensive surveillance and protection, or respect privacy and risk being unable to prevent Dorothy from contacting Adele in private?

Apparently, the principal chose the latter. Otherwise, she was fully capable of dispatching powerful human ability users to follow Adele around the clock, even in shifts.

But if Winona really did that, Adele would probably flip out.

 

After all, how could she keep her witch identity hidden then!

Wouldn’t she go from being a “protected person” to a “criminal suspect”?

So… the current situation, in a sense, was unavoidable.

Fortunately, Dorothy wasn’t completely insane.

In Adele’s impression, she was actually somewhat reasonable.

Perhaps it was because the original female protagonist was too stubborn and foolish, making Dorothy extreme and unable to express her feelings properly.

But the current Adele was different. She could express her thoughts and feelings frankly.

 

By directly confronting Dorothy, she made Dorothy realize the mistakes and harm she had caused in the past.

Not all villains started out as villains; they also had the possibility of turning over a new leaf.

Whether others believed it or not, Adele did.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to face the current Dorothy!

In the silent bedroom enveloped by night, only the sound of their quiet breathing could be heard.

Adele tried to struggle, but Dorothy’s burning gaze locked onto her, and her arm wrapped around Adele’s waist, holding her tightly, unwilling to let go.

“Ha… ha, it’s a little… hot.”

 

Adele tried to avoid Dorothy’s aggressive gaze, closing her eyes as she spoke.

Dorothy loosened her grip slightly, but still maintained enough force to prevent Adele from escaping.

Her eyesight was excellent in the dark, perhaps even better than during the day.

Vampires were indeed the masters of the night.

Therefore, she could quietly enjoy Adele’s beautiful posture and flushed cheeks after their intimacy.

At this moment, Adele was lying weakly on the bed, in a sideways position but not completely sideways.

Her body instinctively leaned away from Dorothy, as did her gaze.

 

Dorothy, on the other hand, used one arm to prop herself up on the pillow, her other arm wrapped around Adele’s waist.

Her hand rested on Adele’s flat, slightly dewy stomach.

Her slender, white fingers would occasionally move gently, tracing a particular spot on Adele’s stomach.

Making Adele moan involuntarily, giving her an incomparably sensitive experience.

The two of them looked like they had just finished something.

And that was indeed the case, which was why Adele turned her head away, her expression flustered.

After all, her memory was actually very blurry.

 

But one thing was certain.

The one who was so wanton and charming, even desperately demanding just now – was definitely not her!

But Dorothy obviously had her own answer.

Her gaze was incredibly infatuated and lingering, because Adele’s body had responded to her.

Giving her an unparalleled experience.

And she could truly feel that Adele was a demanding… little vixen.

It could only be said that Adele had an irresistible contrast about her.

 

Usually, she was so pure and innocent, but in bed, she was like a different person.

On the contrary, it was Dorothy’s first time… appearing somewhat inexperienced.

If it weren’t for Adele’s cooperation, Dorothy thought to herself, she wouldn’t have been able to have such a perfect experience.

And now, Adele had obviously returned to her usual pure and innocent appearance, her delicate features tinged with a hint of melancholy.

Dorothy was a little displeased, but she couldn’t lose her temper with Adele like she used to.

So, to relieve her stress, she started kissing Adele’s smooth and delicate shoulders, leaving two obvious bite marks on her neck.

She gently licked them with her tongue, so the wounds would heal faster and wouldn’t leave any scars.

 

Feeling the tingling sensation coming from behind, Adele frowned slightly in annoyance.

“Stop it…”

“Are you blaming me… Adele?”

“…No.”

Adele didn’t dare to say “yes.”

“I’m just very tired, please be understanding, Your Highness.”

“You are blaming me!”

 

Dorothy’s mood was volatile. She suddenly flipped over and straddled Adele, her hands tightly gripping Adele’s wrists, pinning them above her head.

In an instant, Adele became like a fish on a chopping board, unable to struggle.

“…”

Tears welled up in Adele’s eyes. She closed her eyes and turned her face away.

As if saying to Dorothy, do whatever you want.

Even if you break this body… it’s up to you.

But Dorothy’s strength suddenly drained away like a broken dam.

 

In the silent room, Adele quickly realized that her arms had regained their freedom of movement.

Phew… the strategy of playing pitiful was a preliminary success.

That was close.

If this extreme pressure tactic had failed, Adele would probably be “beep—” until she meowed.

As for why she had to play pitiful…

Duh! Of course, it was to maintain her original persona in Dorothy’s heart!

How could a pure girl be so wild and skilled in bed, to the point of even surprising Dorothy!

 

So to make up for this, Adele had to maintain an image of a “victim.”

As for what had just happened, she didn’t know, she had forgotten, it was all her body’s instinct, it had nothing to do with her, meow.

When First Snow lied, her eyes would dart around guiltily, and her tail would wag, making it easy to tell.

But for Adele, lying was as easy as eating, drinking, and flirting with women.

It was an instinct engraved in her green tea genes, an ability evolved for survival, in line with the evolutionary theory of “survival of the fittest.”

Dorothy’s eyes shattered like a piece of blood-colored jade, filled with hesitation and suppression.

She leaned down and planted a devout kiss on Adele’s lips, a kiss that didn’t contain any lust, more like a loving caress.

 

In this brief kiss, Adele felt the hard scab on Dorothy’s lips, where she had bitten her.

Her heart stirred slightly.

If Dorothy wanted to, this wound could heal without a trace in an instant.

But she didn’t do that, instead stubbornly keeping this scar.

It turned out that no matter what Adele left her, whether it was tenderness or a cruel scar, she cherished it.

Although the kiss ended quickly, it left a faint mark on Adele’s heart.

At the same time, Adele suspected that something was wrong with her ears.

 

She actually heard Dorothy’s voice, faintly ringing in her ears.

“I’m sorry…”

Adele’s throat moved, her pupils trembling.

Th-th-this… what was going on!

Although it was unreasonable, it should be a good thing for her, right?

This at least proved that Dorothy had the intention to repent, didn’t it?

After hesitating for a while, Adele wrapped herself in the blanket, only revealing half of her face, and said weakly,

 

“It’s okay…”

“You didn’t hurt me more than before, which was already beyond my expectations.”

Dorothy knew that Adele was still blaming her, and her face twisted in pain.

She loosened her grip on Adele, letting her hide in the blanket, seeking the warmth she couldn’t find in herself.

The most unbelievable thing in the world wasn’t Dorothy apologizing to Adele.

It was that Adele didn’t accept Dorothy’s apology.

And Dorothy wasn’t angry because of this, but cared even more about Adele.

 

Because after this night, the relationship between Adele and Dorothy had undergone a subtle change.

Dorothy inevitably began to care about Adele’s feelings.

She was no longer just Dorothy’s blood food. To describe it in terms of human relationships, although Dorothy probably hadn’t realized it yet, Adele had become the woman she cared about and loved.

She was actually very slow in terms of feelings. She only knew that she had started to feel heartache for Adele, but didn’t know what this emotion meant.

Dorothy was really at her wit’s end now.

She knew that she had committed an even more unforgivable sin against Adele.

Whether Adele enjoyed it or not, whether she catered to her or not, it didn’t change the nature of this matter.

 

But Dorothy really couldn’t help it at that time, she couldn’t help but miss Adele, and she was also controlled by the chaotic emotions caused by her bloodlust.

That’s why…

The prevailing view among vampires was that bloodlust was a more intimate act than “sexual intercourse.”

But after experiencing the feeling of making love to Adele today, Dorothy realized that that view was completely wrong.

Love was the attraction between bodies, just blood… wasn’t enough.

Another silence passed, and Dorothy experienced a great emptiness.

An emptiness that only Adele could fill, gradually devouring the light in her eyes.

 

In her mind, the chaotic sound waves from another world played again, attempting to make Dorothy’s soul eternally lost.

She covered her ears in pain.

But it was no use.

Dorothy curled up, her whole body trembling.

Compared to Adele, she, the Vampire Princess, seemed even more helpless.

Adele quickly noticed Dorothy’s abnormality.

She felt that Dorothy was in indescribable pain.

 

Two opposing forces were confronting and struggling in her heart.

But in the end, whether Dorothy’s pain was real or not, Adele made a choice that she shouldn’t have, but at least wouldn’t regret.

She hugged Dorothy from behind, whispering softly in her ear, using her fingers to soothe the girl’s tense and pained body.

“I forgive you, Dorothy…”

“I don’t blame you anymore, it’s okay, it’s okay… my princess.”

Dorothy’s emptiness was gradually filled by these gentle words, and the chaotic, ghostly music also faded away.

Finally, Dorothy heard the sounds of reality, even incredibly clearly.

The nightingale singing outside the window, the ticking of the clock downstairs, and the familiar and beloved female voice beside her ear.

Adele could clearly feel Dorothy’s body relax from its previous tension.

She felt Dorothy’s rapid breathing gradually slow down.

She felt Dorothy return to her usual self.

Her usual… self that still frightened Adele.

That’s why Adele said that she shouldn’t have helped Dorothy at this moment.

But even though she shouldn’t have, she still made this choice that she didn’t regret.

For the victim to take the initiative to embrace and comfort the perpetrator.

My God, what a human tragedy.

But since she had chosen this path, she might as well go all the way.

She knew that Dorothy couldn’t say any words of gratitude, so Adele simply took the initiative to bring up another topic.

“Dorothy, you realized long ago that the chastity curse on me had disappeared, right?”

“…”

Dorothy was struggling with how to face Adele, who had pulled her back from that terrible state.

Should she break through her bottom line again and express her gratitude?

Hearing Adele’s words, she realized that Adele had given her a way out, but also threw another question at her.

Should Adele, who had somehow broken the chastity curse, be punished?

Dorothy admitted that she had thought about teaching Adele a lesson.

But all those thoughts were washed away by the comfortable memories.

She thought that she could pretend that she didn’t know anything and just let it go.

But Adele brought it up herself.

This made Dorothy feel at a loss.

So what should she do now?

To satisfy Adele.

And satisfy herself?

Seeing that Dorothy didn’t respond, Adele continued.

In a tone of frank confession.

“I went to the principal for help, and told her everything… about what you, Dorothy, and others have done to me recently.”

Snitching, indeed very much in line with the behavior of the weak.

“What did the principal say?”

Dorothy’s gaze lowered.

Seeing Adele’s hand clench slightly, a desire to hold it tightly surged in Dorothy’s heart.

“The principal said… she would protect me. But obviously, her protection hasn’t arrived yet, and you’re here.”

“She also removed the chastity curse on my stomach.”

Principal, take the blame.

But Adele really didn’t know who had removed her chastity curse.

After thinking and recalling for a while, Adele guessed it might be First Snow, but she didn’t quite believe in her ability.

“Dorothy, I really hate that thing, really…”

Adele’s tone was tinged with a hint of pleading.

“Then why confess to me, the bad guy?”

“I don’t know either.”

Adele answered “honestly.”

“Maybe, because I’m afraid of being punished more severely by you…?”

The girl’s voice trembled, pitiful, even with a hint of crying.

Adele declared that this was the peak of her acting skills!

“I won’t punish you anymore!”

“I won’t…!”

Dorothy was indeed stimulated.

She made her promise.

Adele’s heart leaped with joy, she wished she could record Dorothy’s words at this moment!

But then she thought about it, it wasn’t like there was a vampire court that could judge a vampire of Dorothy’s status.

So even if she had evidence, it wouldn’t do anything.

But, following this direction, she could continue the communication.

At least she could ensure that Dorothy would keep this promise for a while, couldn’t she?

So it wasn’t like she had gained nothing.

Adele declared that her plan of playing pitiful with Dorothy had achieved preliminary success!

“I… I believe you.”

“Dorothy, I believe you.”

Adele looked at Dorothy with trusting and reliant eyes.

This way, Dorothy wouldn’t be able to go back on her word, right~

As expected, when Dorothy felt Adele’s trust in her and her desire to rely on her, a warmth arose in her heart.

It was a feeling she had never experienced before in her interactions with Adele.

Did this mean that the relationship between her and Adele had turned a new page?

If so…

Dorothy gritted her teeth, determined to make a decision that would even surprise herself.

But Adele would surely be happy to accept it!

“Adele, I won’t be the same person I was before.”

“I will treat you well, be gentle with you.”

“Anyone who bullies you, I will make sure they don’t see the sun tomorrow.”

“Forget those unpleasant memories that happened between us, those misunderstandings…”

“I will make your future as bright as flowers and let you stand on the peak that only we can reach.”

The emotions in Dorothy’s voice gradually intensified.

At first, Adele smiled contentedly, but gradually, her smile froze.

At the same time, a bad premonition arose in her heart.

And this premonition soon became reality!

Dorothy confessed to the pure girl with overflowing emotions!

–“Adele, be my girlfriend, okay?”
