20: Restraining desires does not mean having no desires

Chapter 20: Restraining Desire Doesn't Mean Having No Desire

Late at night, at Baisen Manor.

Alice had just finished bathing. She changed into a light purple nightgown, sprayed a little perfume, and applied delicate light makeup.

Looking at her stunning reflection in the mirror, Alice smiled with satisfaction. She was going to find Dick later.

This wasn't the first time the two had communicated late at night. The scene of being punished last time was still vivid, and thinking about it, Alice's buttocks felt a faint ache.

Although her dignity had been completely shattered, her purity was still preserved. This was something Alice couldn't understand at all.

This once made Alice think that Dick might be... Gay?

However, on the same night, Dick made a move on Mina.

Through listening magic, Alice heard all their conversations. She hadn't expected Dick to have such a sweet and tender side.

In the following week, due to the Terminus Magic teaching, Alice also had quite a bit of close contact with Dick.

But it was always she who felt shy and whose heart pounded faster.

As for Dick, he was practically a saint with no desires, completely unmoved, just focusing on teaching, and even always sternly scolding her!

Thinking about this, Alice felt a bit annoyed. Her beauty, which she was so proud of, held no attraction for Dick.

But strangely, Dick expressed his affection for Mina, even though she was just a rustic girl from the outer district.

A woman's competitive spirit made Alice unhappy, so she immediately instructed her maid, "Bring me that low-cut, high-slit nightgown, and that thong underwear..."

The night was a bit cold, so Alice draped a fur coat over herself and twirled in front of the mirror.

After making sure there were no flaws, Alice finally left the dressing room and confidently walked towards Dick's room.

"Hmph, I want to see if you're really a saint!"

...

Before long, Alice arrived at Dick's room.

After dismissing her accompanying maid, Alice took off her coat and sat on the sofa opposite Dick, observing his expression with deliberate charming (seductiveness).

But unfortunately, no matter how Alice adjusted her posture, or even lowered her head and bent over, Dick showed no reaction.

Suddenly, Alice realized a problem.

Mina wasn't here. Now, only she and Dick were in the room!

A single man and woman, alone in a room, and she was dressed like this. How was this different from coming here to give herself away for free?

Alice began to regret it. For the sake of a woman's competitive spirit, she had put her chastity in the wolf's mouth.

If Dick wasn't a saint, coupled with the soul contract, she would most likely...

However, after thinking carefully, with the soul contract in place, she wouldn't be able to escape this fate sooner or later anyway.

Moreover, Dick was no ordinary person. He was exceptionally talented, a rare outstanding individual. Giving herself to him didn't seem... too much of a loss?

No! No! No!

Alice, Alice, how could you have such thoughts? Purity should only be reserved for a future husband, not the brutal Dick!

"Today, during the escort mission, you looked at me with hostility. This happened a total of 12 times. Explain it."

The sudden question caught Alice off guard. She was instantly flustered and subconsciously waved her hand to deny it.

Dick narrowed his eyes, looked at Alice, and commanded, "Tell the truth!"

Although she resisted, a force from deep within her soul controlled Alice. She trembled as she opened her mouth and spoke the truth haltingly.

Several minutes later, Dick said with a strange expression, "So, it's because I was intimate with Mina that you... are jealous?"

"I, I'm not at all! You're just talking nonsense! This young lady is the Young Master of Byson, the future Duke. Why would I like you, this..."

Alice was flustered, very flustered.

Her face flushed red, and she stood up immediately to vehemently argue, but this shy behavior was no different from admitting it.

Seeing this, Dick was a bit confused. Was this Alice so easy to tease?

He didn't seem to have specifically pursued her, so how had it happened in just half a month?

In the previous ninety-nine lives, Dick had not had contact with Alice during her youth. He had always taken the Doomsday inheritance and left.

And Alice, having lost the Doomsday inheritance, would eventually die from severe injuries in that cave, exiting the stage early.

"Is it because of the soul contract?" Dick murmured.

"It must be because of the soul contract!"

Alice seemed to grasp at a straw, shouting, "Otherwise, this young lady would never have such strange feelings for you."

"Then why did you come dressed like this today?"

"It, it was too hot. I just wore whatever..."

Looking at the goose feather snow outside the window, Dick knew Alice was lying without even needing to command her.

"Come here," Dick said lightly.

Alice was obedient and took small steps to stand before Dick, whispering, "Wha-what are you doing?"

Dick didn't answer. After taking a light breath, he directly picked Alice up and walked slowly towards the large bed.

"Alice, although I restrain my desires, it doesn't mean I have no desires."

"..."

Alice was silent, tightly clutching Dick's clothes. After a few seconds, she finally spoke, "Hmph... Anyway, with the soul contract, you'll eat me up sooner or later."

"It's good you know. You were originally a delicious meal for me to enjoy at will, but today you delivered yourself to my doorstep."

Seemingly knowing she couldn't escape, Alice looked into Dick's eyes with a submissive expression.

...

...

The next morning, with the chirping of snowbirds, Alice woke up in Dick's arms.

"Good... morning, Dick."

Dick nodded lightly, not responding, but staring blankly at the falling snow outside the window.

Alice was a bit displeased. She rolled over and straddled Dick, saying in a deep voice, "Dick, you took away my most important thing!"

"So?" Dick said casually.

"So, so, you... marry into my Bison Family. Become my husband. I will personally talk to my father and get his consent!"

Dick chuckled and shook his head.

"I will not become anyone's husband."

Speaking of which, in the previous ninety-nine lives, he had been backstabbed by his wives and concubines the most times, giving him psychological trauma.

"But, but I must be pregnant with your child by now. When my belly gets bigger later, let's see how you hide it!"

Hearing this, Dick gently rubbed Alice's flat lower abdomen and cast contraception magic.

"I will not become anyone's father either."

Besides dying from being backstabbed by wives and concubines, his second most common cause of death was being killed by his children, which was also close to forming psychological trauma.

"Dick!"

Alice puffed out her cheeks and glared at Dick, "Don't you want to take responsibility? Will you abandon me when you get tired of playing? Just like those scumbags in the picture books..."

"How could that be?" Dick pinched Alice's pretty face and said gently, "Unless absolutely necessary, I would never abandon you."

What a joke. Alice was a slave who had signed a soul contract with him, the most trustworthy person.

Furthermore, she was the future Doomsday Witch and could permanently increase his Demon King profession by two levels. How could he possibly abandon her?

It's worth mentioning that in the previous ninety-nine lives, Dick had never been backstabbed by a slave.

"Hmm, do you think I'm as easy to fool as Mina? You... mumble mumble..."

Dick was too lazy to say more and planned to do some morning exercise, work up a sweat, and dispel his sleepiness, as it was still a bit difficult to get up in winter.
