Why, Can’t You Eat?

Chapter 63

It’s too much to even make a promise. It was a little difficult because I was forced to take it, but well, it’s okay. Feeling the dark red petals enveloping my body, I looked at the commanders sitting or standing with a bewildered face .

“Hel…”

“What happened to Miss Lily?”

“Ah really. Even in this situation, you all would ask, ‘What happened to Miss Lily?’ without even noticing.”

Hearing Endymion’s words, I pouted. I met Damian’s eyes and licked my lips as I saw his shoulders tremble slightly. He was so cute yesterday.

“W-What the heck? Huh? What is going on now? W-Who’s behind this time, huh?”

“Oh, Ares. Why are you pretending you don’t know when you’ve done it before? Yes. Yesterday I was so angry and upset that I was going to bully you guys in my own succubus way, but Lily suddenly changed her mind. She said she’ll try to talk and understand. If she can’t accept it, then she said I can do as I please.”

“Hang on. She said she would understand. But why.”

“Because she doesn’t? Now that the boring story is over, let’s all have fun together…”

“I refuse.”

He’s adamant. I smiled crookedly at Endymion, who was glaring at me with a cold face. Even after saying that, I know he was going to enjoy it anyway.

As the spell spread little by little, the floor gradually turned black. And that was the moment when the tentacles grabbed Endymion’s leg.

“Aaahtt!”

My face contorted in sharp pain, like it was cut by a knife. Before it even touched his body, my tentacles were cut off with magic.

“My word. Have you already forgotten what I said? Lily and I are the same person. If I feel pain, she will feel pain too.”

“I know. But Miss Lily wouldn’t want you to act like this.”

“Yes, she does. She said she would never forgive, and she only screamed that she understood. Today I… I don’t want to be taken lightly like that.”

Following Endymion, even Damian was wrapped in divine power. Why was he doing something that didn’t suit him all of a sudden? But if he was determined to refuse like that, there was no other option. I don’t think enchanting him will work in a situation where he was sane.

But Odil and Ares… While looking at them with that thought in mind, Ares remained still even though the tentacles were tying up his body. After all, that man would have no reason to refuse. As I smiled contentedly, he started to remove the tentacles that wrapped around his body one by one.

“I am of the same opinion. I don’t want to do things that the lady doesn’t like anymore. Odil too, right?”

“No need to state the obvious.”

“Uht!”

A sharp pain pierced my body once more. What, really? Why are you only doing this to me? The tentacles were frightened by the terrifying magic and divine power, returning to me.

“This is too much. I’m Lily, and Lily is me, too. But why are you doing this?”

“Uh, the other part… N-No, if you’re Lily and Lily is you, should you really be doing what your own self doesn’t want to do?

“Why do you talk that way? Lily also does things I don’t want…”

I’ll get the ring back first, but I don’t know yet whether I’ll put it back on or not. I don’t want to force her to sleep.

She looked in the mirror and thought so. Another me.

“…….”

“You see, Milady. I don’t think this is a good way. I fell in love at first sight with the Lady because she was so pretty, and although I couldn’t say no to her easily… But now, I don’t think this is right.”

“That’s right. I’m not doing this because I want to get hurt again.”

“You said you didn’t want to find the ring and you didn’t want to leave the castle, but I don’t think that was for us to meddle in. If it was someone like you, it would have hurt you as much as she did. I’m sorry. But it’s not good for each other to vent your anger in this way.”

“Actually, I don’t care if Miss Lily is by my side or not if it’s to sacrifice her happiness, but like I said earlier, if you do something she doesn’t want again, I won’t be able to face her anymore. Well, Miss Lily said she understood us thanks to your actions.”

I bit my lip as I watched them continue speaking one after another. Why were they suddenly doing that? I just did what the other me wanted. I was starting to get annoyed at the burning, throbbing pain.

“Are you not misunderstanding something? I am a succubus. What do you mean she doesn’t want to? I’m just doing what I have to do.”

“You’re not trying to absorb our energy right now, you’re just trying to relieve your anger though?”

“Then why not? I can forgive you if you just surrender yourself.”

“Wow, you really only covet our bodies…”

“Of course. I couldn’t even leave the castle because I didn’t want to do it with other people in the first place.”

I snapped back bluntly. If I had known it would be like this, I would have come to see them yesterday. It just hurts and I don’t feel good at all. Instead of getting excited, I felt terrible. Endymion had that attitude all the time, and Damian enjoyed it as much as he did yesterday, so it doesn’t matter anyway, but Odil and Ares acted like that.

“My excitement has been broken again. What the hell is with today?”

“You seem to be giving up more easily than I thought.”

“Then what should I do? Even if I force myself to do it, you won’t play along today, right? And you guys, everything you said was oh-so-touching, but Lily won’t even remember any of it.”
