Adele never expected things to develop this way.

In fact, the reason she suddenly said, “You’ve disappointed Mommy~” was more like after a role-playing game, she couldn’t let go of something embarrassing the other person’s character had done.

It was a bit mean.

But Adele had always been a bit mean, and she wasn’t ashamed of it, she was even proud of it.

She thought that everyone wouldn’t take what happened in the witch’s domain seriously.

Adele even thought that Edith would be enraged and might even attack her directly in front of the office building.

Fortunately, Adele was no longer the powerless girl she used to be.

 

Although she didn’t think she could defeat Edith, she could at least hold on for a while until the student council members came.

This was the student council’s headquarters, and they would be happy to catch the Black Feather Society president bullying a low-ranking vampire student, they would definitely turn it into a big news story and spread it throughout the academy 24/7.

That way, the Black Feather Society’s base of vampire students would definitely suffer a serious blow.

Of course, maybe not – because vampires worshipped the strong preying on the weak!

If the student council wanted to fight the Black Feather Society, it was best not to use human thinking to deduce how vampire students would react.

But all these thoughts shattered into pieces when Edith suddenly apologized to Adele.

Apart from a “?”, Adele immediately didn’t know what words to use to express her feelings.

 

But she stared at Edith’s slightly trembling shoulders and the mist in her eyes.

For some reason, Adele felt that maybe Edith wasn’t pretending, and wasn’t deceiving her.

She seemed to have really fallen into it, or rather, even if she knew it was fake, it was still much better than a reality where she had nothing.

Edith and her mother were the same, they both had a serious Oedipus complex.

When normal people were abused by their mothers, they would often turn their original love for their mothers into hatred.

But perhaps Edith was already used to this. Even the crimes her mother had committed against her, all those terrible things, she accepted them willingly.

She became a true “Stockholm Syndrome” patient.

 

The type who would even feel excited when being abused.

Or rather, she only felt excited when being abused by her “mother.”

But the reality was that she couldn’t even be abused if she wanted to, her mother had… left her forever.

The longing of thousands of days and nights finally poured out in Li Lige’s witch’s domain, towards Adele, who was disguised as Edith’s mother.

Self-deception didn’t matter…

As long as Adele was still willing to play her mother, to reward or punish her, to give her the opportunity to release her love, it was fine.

“…You’re truly a pervert.”

 

Adele said sarcastically without mercy.

“I’m sorry…”

Because in Edith’s eyes at this moment, Adele was her mother. So whatever her mother said to her, she would be happy if it was praise, and terrified if it was criticism.

Adele touched her smooth chin, and then, a playful smile appeared on her face.

In short, she could use Edith by playing her mother.

This… was correct, right?

Adele was delighted by this discovery.

 

She didn’t expect that the last “legacy” Li Lige left her before leaving Dongdu was actually Edith, the president of the Black Feather Society.

But who told her that she couldn’t break through Li Lige’s witch’s domain back then?

She couldn’t complete her revenge against her mother inside.

So it was destined that she couldn’t escape Adele’s control now. Adele played her mother, and if she told her to go east, she wouldn’t dare to go west.

Otherwise, she should have been able to break free from her inner demons.

Thinking of this, Adele smiled slightly and took out her phone from her spatial ring, sending a message to Tang Linlang.

“Linlang, I suddenly have a stomachache, I’m going to the bathroom first!”

 

“If you finish your interview, don’t wait for me!”

Because her phone was on silent, Tang Linlang could only feel the vibration of the phone in her skirt pocket.

But she keenly realized that it was probably a message from Adele.

So she even sped up her answers to the interviewers’ questions.

She just wanted to finish this interview quickly so she could check the message Adele sent her.

However, at this moment, Adele grabbed Edith’s wrist, coughed lightly, adjusted her tone, and then ordered coldly,

“You disobedient daughter, come with me!”

 

“Mommy is going to teach you a lesson, spank… spank your bottom!”

Ugh… although Edith’s real mother would never speak to her daughter like this, in her crazy state, she would probably stare at Edith gloomily, thinking that she had done something wrong or displeasing, and then immediately take off her skirt and spank her bottom regardless of her cries.

Then after the beating, she would hug her daughter in her arms, crying and laughing, telling her that she loved her.

What a painful love.

Living in such an environment and not breaking down or becoming a lunatic, Edith was already amazing, she was even much better than the average vampire student.

And the biggest blow in her life wasn’t her mother going crazy.

It was her mother completely leaving her side and going to another world.

 

“…Yes, Mother.”

The spot where her wrist was being tightly gripped hurt, but Edith’s eyes were glazed over.

She was forcefully pulled up by Adele, her purple hair swaying. The gorgeous long dress she was wearing wasn’t suitable for running, but her legs still involuntarily started moving, chasing after the figure in front of her.

In a daze, Adele’s figure overlapped with the image of her mother in her memory.

At least in terms of being willful and moody, Adele and her mother were exactly the same, weren’t they?

Adele did indeed arrive at the bathroom.

The girl opened the door of a stall and pushed Edith in forcefully.

 

She never thought that Edith’s body would be so weak and powerless. With a little force, she was like a rag doll, at her mercy, even to the point of being broken.

Edith stumbled and sat on the toilet seat, her body hitting the water tank behind her.

“Hiss…!”

The pain made her gasp.

Of course, a vampire’s body was stronger than a human’s, especially a Sequence One blood noble.

But the feeling of pain was the same.

Everyone was afraid of pain.

 

Adele closed the stall door and slid the bolt.

Now, only Adele and Edith were left in the enclosed space of the bathroom stall.

It was so quiet that they could hear each other’s breathing.

Edith’s breathing was like a small flower or grass battered by the wind, while Adele’s rapid breathing was the gale.

At this moment, there was a sense of excitement in the girl’s heart, like she was secretly doing something bad.

Of course, the revenge against Edith also made her feel particularly happy.

“From now on, don’t make any sound, understand?”

 

Adele leaned close to Edith, reached out to touch her cheek, and ordered.

Edith instinctively dodged, even when facing her “mother,” she would still dodge.

Because under that black veil, hid her deepest and most feared nightmare.

She didn’t make a sound, just nodded repeatedly like a pecking chicken, full of fear and obedience.

Adele couldn’t help but frown.

But thinking of the scar under Edith’s veil that split her lips, Adele ultimately gave up on the idea of taking off her veil.

Because that would ruin her appetite.

 

But come to think of it, with Edith’s Sequence One vampire power, even her body’s own healing ability, that scar should have long healed and recovered, right?

That’s why most vampires had smooth bodies without any scars.

The higher the vampire’s Sequence, the stronger their healing ability. Plastic surgeons couldn’t earn a penny from them.

But why was Edith…

Could it be that she deliberately kept that scar?

Because her mother could never come back, so she cherished even this scar.

Or maybe her mother didn’t allow her to heal her body before, because she thought “Edith with a smile” looked better.

 

Adele didn’t understand the thoughts of a mentally ill person.

But she was thinking, maybe what Edith needed wasn’t a crazy mother. The reason she accepted her mentally ill mother was simply because she was her mother.

Adele could play the role, she could play the role of a normal mother.

That must be Edith’s deepest desire, hidden in her heart for many years.

If only her mother could be normal…

Adele guessed that when Edith’s heart was completely healed, maybe her scar would also disappear?

Without that strange scar, Edith’s appearance could indeed be considered beautiful and charming.

 

But Adele wasn’t a saint, she didn’t care about such troublesome things.

She was going to bully Edith now, to get revenge for what Edith did to the heroine in the original plot, and for the time she almost assaulted Adele!

So the next moment, her hand landed on Edith’s neck, not using much force, but still making Edith feel like she was being “choked.”

And Edith herself forgot to breathe, feeling a bit suffocated.

Adele deliberately made her expression fierce, and it actually did become fierce.

A kind of adorable fierceness.

Her threatening words followed,

 

“Turn around, kneel on the toilet seat, and stick your butt out!”

“Lift up your skirt yourself, I said I’m going to spank your bottom, so I’m going to spank your bottom!”
