“So lewd…” Adele chuckled softly, watching the girl kneeling on the floor, her hands bound, her eyes blindfolded, unable to see clearly, as she used her cherry lips to meticulously lick Adele’s fingers clean.

“Does your own essence taste good?”

“…”

Edith couldn’t speak, her body just trembled.

From Adele’s perspective, it could be seen that Edith’s wrists were bound with a soft, black lace cloth.

It was Edith’s own garment. One could imagine how disheveled and messy Edith looked at this moment.

In fact, even Adele, after the excitement subsided, started to think if she had gone too far.

 

But seeing Edith’s expression and her body trembling with excitement, Adele could only accept the reality – Edith seemed to be enjoying it.

This was a true masochist.

Well, whatever, Adele didn’t even need to feel guilty, which made her feel relaxed.

Finally, it was cleaned.

But Edith was still reluctantly sucking on Adele’s finger.

Her tongue swirled around it, licking every line on Adele’s finger, even every crevice of her nails.

Adele stared at Edith’s devout face with amusement, and then she joked,

 

“Hey, if I told you to lick my feet, would you do it too?”

Edith’s eyes were blindfolded, she couldn’t see Adele’s mocking expression.

She just froze for a moment, then released Adele’s finger from her mouth.

The next moment, she lowered her body, almost falling to the ground because her hands were tied behind her back.

Sensing the girl’s intention, Adele hurriedly supported her arm and said, both amused and exasperated,

“You’re really going to do it!?”

“…”

 

Adele managed to help Edith up from the ground, but the girl still looked lost.

“Now, I allow you to speak, what do you want to say to me?”

She lifted the order of silence.

Edith, as if she had lost her voice, thought for a long time before she seemed to remember how to speak. Her voice was soft and sweet.

Like a child who was cautious, both afraid of and attached to her mother.

She asked,

“Mother, is Edith… a good girl?”

 

Adele was silent for a while.

Then she reached out and stroked the girl’s long purple hair, very gently.

“Yes, you’re a very good girl.”

She gave an affirmative answer.

A bright smile, like a blooming flower, instantly appeared on Edith’s face.

At the same time, a clear tear slowly rolled down, wetting the ribbon covering her eyes.

“Thank you, Mother…”

 

………………

Adele untied the ribbon covering Edith’s eyes and the garment binding her wrists.

She tidied up Edith’s clothes, and finally, she was as good as new.

This symbolized the end of the “role-playing” game.

Edith should return to her identity as the president of the Black Feather Society.

And similarly, Adele was still Adele, she should go home.

There was nothing sentimental to say goodbye to each other. Adele took a few tissues from Edith’s desk and wiped the marks she had left on her skirt. Speaking of which, she was a little dissatisfied.

 

This woman, Edith, couldn’t she control…

Not to leave so much!

Edith noticed Adele’s actions, her cheeks flushing red as if they had been exposed to the sun.

She lowered her head and said apologetically,

“Why don’t I take Adele’s skirt to the dry cleaners to have it cleaned?”

“Give you my skirt, and then I’ll run naked through the academy in my panties?”

“Think before you speak, silly girl.”

 

“…”

For some reason, when Adele lectured Edith, she sounded more and more like an elder lecturing a hopeless junior.

Could it be that playing the role of a mother for too long would really make someone get into character?

But Adele usually chose not to think about such complicated things, because it was pointless.

“Let’s go.”

With that, she was about to open the door and leave.

But at this moment, Edith suddenly called out to her.

 

“Adele, wait!”

Adele turned around, her eyes already filled with displeasure.

At this moment, Adele no longer cared about returning to the role-playing game and giving Edith a good “beeping,” telling her to get to the point.

Edith was frightened by Adele’s gaze, her body instinctively weakening, but she was still able to stand in front of Adele.

“S-sorry, I just… wanted to give you this.”

As she spoke, she quickly stepped forward and handed a square card to Adele.

“…”

 

It was a black bank card, its texture low-key yet luxurious.

Adele’s heart churned. Damn it, what kind of overbearing CEO cliché was this?

Trying to bribe her with a black card!?

W-well, it wasn’t impossible… ahem.

Forget about “Lust” Witch, she should just switch to “Greed” Witch!

“You… what do you mean by giving me this!”

“I’m telling you upfront, I don’t do that kind of work!”

 

Edith hurriedly shook her head, indicating that it wasn’t what Adele thought.

“I remember… Adele seemed to have said just now that if there were any scholarship programs, I should remember to sign you up.”

“So I was thinking, is Adele’s life difficult because she rejected the advances of those Sequence Ones…”

Edith was probably referring to Dorothy and Hermione.

But hearing this, Adele was furious.

“What do you mean my life is difficult because I rejected them? It’s like you’re saying I’ve been kept by them all this time!”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I’m clumsy with words… I’m sorry!”

 

Edith immediately apologized.

“I just… wanted to use this method to help Adele.”

“Please, accept it.”

“Please…”

“…”

Adele’s expression at this moment could only be described as dumbfounded.

It was her first time seeing someone so humble when giving money to others.

 

Even Celeste wouldn’t be like this, right?

After all, Celeste was always happy when she spent money on Adele. If she had a tail, it would have wagged to the sky.

Because it was proof that she was useful to Adele, it was the absolute loyalty and devotion of a loyal dog to its master.

Then what was Edith doing?

A little mutt giving money after being pleased?

“How much is in it?”

After a moment of hesitation, Adele asked softly.

 

“I’m not sure, but I can’t use it all, it’s all the assets my family has left. The password is XXXXXX, Adele can use it however you like.”

“！？?”

You really think of me as your mother, huh?

All the assets your biological mother left behind are in this card, and you’re giving it to me?

You’re so filial, it’s killing me.

Adele wouldn’t underestimate the wealth of a True Ancestor descendant, although their family had fallen.

But a dying camel was still bigger than a horse. The balance in this black card must be a number that would shock Adele.

 

She instantly felt the bank card in her hand burn, and she threw it back to Edith.

“I’m not as poor as you think.”

“Take care of yourself first, silly girl!”

With that, Adele left Edith’s office without looking back.

Leaving Edith holding the bank card, staring at Adele’s receding figure and the closed door, her expression slightly dazed.
