Stop Hypnotizing Me, Antagonist Princess!

Why is the dog I raised so adorable?

So adorable that... I can't help wanting to do something to him.

Looking at the handsome youth with black hair and blue eyes before her, Ivyst suddenly felt a surge of impulse in her heart.

She really wanted to strip him naked right here and bite into every inch of his skin, deeply imprinting her teeth marks on it.

This was an extremely twisted psychology that normal people would have a hard time understanding.

On one hand, she found him very cute, and on the other hand, she wanted to see him wail in pain through acts of hurt, leaving her exclusive mark on him.

Of course, this was just a dark thought that flickered through Ivyst's mind in the blink of an eye.

Ultimately reason prevailed.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her slightly accelerated heartbeat.

As a leader, always clear-cut in rewards and punishments, she wouldn't allow herself to treat a great contributor under her command this way.

Moreover, after a brief touch of emotion, Ivyst's suspicion flared up again.

Having never felt kindness from the outside world from a young age, she was not good at handling such things and always subconsciously believed that there were traps involved.

After all, this was the second time in recent times that Ivyst had received kindness from Lynn.

The first time was during a dinner party.

This time it was in the face of Heavenly Principle Church.

To tell the truth, deep down she was somewhat at a loss.

Everything Lynn had done appeared to be just within the boundaries of a subordinate, yet vaguely exceeded that.

This couldn't help but stir some thoughts in her.

However, Ivyst didn't want to show her inner turmoil on her face, instead she said with an air of calmness, "Lift your head up."

Lynn subconsciously lifted his head.

Looking at his handsome face, the impulse surged again.

Damn it.

Ivyst bit her tongue hard, trying to regain her clarity.

At the same time, she said with a feigned sneer, "Did you do all this for me?"

"What a loyally obedient little dog you are. As your master, I'm very pleased."

Looking at the ring that wasn't emitting a red glow, Lynn breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that this woman was putting on a show for him, even though she had been too moved to speak, she still wanted to show this kind of forced sneer.

Ivyst seemed to realize this too, and she immediately coughed lightly, attempting to conceal her emotional slip.

Then, she spoke again, "But how come I remember that not long ago someone hysterically came to me with a drama that threatened me with their death?"

"Has it only been a few days, and you've had a complete change of temperament?"

Your next read awaits at empire

Crap.

Lynn's just-relaxed mood tensed up once again.

This was indeed a big problem.

In Ivyst's eyes, his recent actions were actually off-character.

It wasn't that he couldn't do them, but that he had overdone it.

Not long ago he had called her a lonely, old, bad woman, but a few days later, he had become loyal guard dog, snapping at anyone he saw.

He had crafted an image of himself that was too loyal, which in turn made people suspicious!

Seeing Lynn at a loss for words, Ivyst suddenly remembered the outrageous comment he had made when she first hypnotized him.

"I want to sleep with you."

For a moment, Ivyst felt playful.

She wanted to see how this guy would react when really faced with this issue.

So she said in a cold tone, "I once read in a book, when a man is willing to step forward for a woman, it's highly probable that he's taken a fancy to her body."

"So, did you do all this because you want to sleep with me?"

Ivyst's red eyes indifferently glanced at the ring in Lynn's hand, waiting for his answer.

"I don't."

Lynn answered with great confidence.

Unfortunately, the very next second, the ring embarrassingly flashed red.

"..."

Lynn took a deep breath.

He personally didn't want to sleep with her, but his lower body seemed to think otherwise.

Damn it, betraying me at the critical moment, huh?!

He roared in his mind.

Sure enough.

A fleeting smile passed through the corner of Ivyst's mouth.

Honestly, a boss who is excited because their subordinate might have a sexual fantasy about them is probably as bizarre as her.

But on the surface, she did not show it, silently staring at Lynn as if she was prepared to observe his next reaction.

At this moment, Lynn could only feel an extremely awkward atmosphere lingering between the two of them.

Of course, in the end, the awkwardness was his alone.

Thus, he tried to come up with a different way to alleviate the awkwardness.

"Your Highness is so beautiful, and I am a man with normal physiological reactions," Lynn tried to appear calm and collected, "To be honest, I think that if I did not entertain those thoughts, that in itself would be an insult to you."

"For me, I may have thought about it, but I didn't dare."

The ring emitted red light again.

Lynn was stunned.

No way, bro, are you challenging me?

His forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Although I do think and dare, in my eyes, you will always be Your Highness, awe-inspiring and majestic, not a woman!"

Twinkling.

"Okay, you are so beautiful, it's impossible for me not to see you as a woman, but believe me, in this lifetime, I will never do anything that disrespects you."

Twinkling.

"...You might as well have me eaten by a shark."

Twinkle, twinkle, shining brightly.

"Alright, shut up."

Finally, Ivyst couldn't bear to watch anymore.

Although she really wanted to laugh at this moment, laughing in such a situation would lead to misunderstandings.

So she said coolly, "I know you are very bold, but I didn't expect your audacity to reach this extent."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"According to my usual temperament, you should be being punished already."

"However, considering your contribution this time, I, the Imperial Princess, will spare you for now. I hope you can distinguish clearly in the future, what you should and should not think about."

Lynn felt like he had been granted amnesty and immediately stopped his clumsy defenses.

It seemed that this topic was skipped over for now.

The personal matters ended, and now it was time to talk business.

After regaining her composure, Ivyst looked at Lynn, "Your contribution this time was truly significant, so I have decided to reward you properly."

"Just like last time, you may make a wish to me. Whatever it is, I will try to fulfill it."

More empty promises?

Lynn snickered inwardly, not falling for that again.

Luckily, this time Ivyst did not stint.

"In addition, since you've become a Transcendent again, it seems you still don't have a Sealed Object of your own," Ivyst continued, "Remember to visit Milani tomorrow afternoon, and have her take out '1-0106' for you."

1-0106?

All of Lynn's dissatisfaction disappeared in an instant.

The digits at the beginning of the code represented the rank order of the Sealed Object.

And if this woman hadn't lied to him, it meant he was about to own an extremely precious level 1 Sealed Object.

That was the highest rank, after level 0, and in every aspect, it was definitely superior to minor trinkets like the Deceit Coin or the Deadly Demon Doll!

If it could strengthen my weaknesses in combat, that would be great.

A hint of joy emerged in Lynn's heart as he thought gleefully.

Truth be told, in terms of value, if he found a suitable buyer, the price of a level 1 Sealed Object might even exceed his crazy earnings of the past few days.

This woman had finally become generous for once.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Seeing that he seemed very pleased, Ivyst also felt a lot lighter in mood.

I've been acting somewhat strangely lately.

She thought silently.

Meanwhile, the familiar system prompt sounded in Lynn's ears.

[The plot deviation of the S-rank storyline character "Ivyst Laurent Alexini" has increased to 2.07%.]

This was an adjustment for the plot changes he had made over the past two days.

It looked like, once he got back, it was time to ask the Witch for some rewards as well.

Just then, Ivyst's voice reached him again.

"Additionally, if there's anything in Orn City that still needs to be wrapped up, take care of that soon."

"In a few days, we will be preparing to return to the Imperial Capital."

So soon?

Lynn was suddenly startled.

But upon reflection, Ivyst's objective for coming to Orn City had been achieved, having successfully gained the support of an elector.

He just hadn't expected that he would be returning to that place so soon.
