Chapter 53: Absolutely Not a Pervert!
Lilia did not dare to sleep.
Firstly, she was afraid that Hera’s body temperature might suddenly drop in the middle of the night—that would truly be fatal.
Secondly…
Who the hell would dare sleep in this situation?!
Even though Hera currently looked like a sleeping beauty, she was still a venomous snake that could strike at any moment.
If she happened to have bad sleeping habits and accidentally kicked her…
The end of the entire book.
Lilia shook her head and forced herself to stay alert.
To distract herself, she activated 【Absolute Senses】.
Everything in her vision became data.
The magic particles drifting in the air.
Hera’s steady heartbeat frequency.
And also…
Lilia’s gaze shifted downward, landing on that pale ankle exposed outside the blanket.
One foot rested at the edge of the bed, swaying right in front of her eyes.
It looked really nice.
Not perverted—purely artistic appreciation.
That ankle was so slender it seemed like it would snap with a slight bend, and beneath the skin, faint bluish veins could be seen.
The arch of the foot formed an extremely elegant curve, and the toes were round and delicate, tinged with a healthy pink.
As Lilia kept staring, her eyelids began to droop.
These past few days had been pure life-draining exhaustion.
Sorting documents, outwitting Camilla, and even acting as the Queen’s human pillow.
Even a machine wouldn’t be able to endure it!
So sleepy.
Truly sleepy.
Lilia pinched her thigh hard.
No.
She couldn’t sleep.
What if she fell asleep and failed the mission?
But that foot…
It was really so white.
And it looked very soft to touch…
Lilia’s mind began to grow muddled.
The rational voice in her head was blaring alarms, but her body was honestly sinking downward.
Her head started nodding little by little.
The foot in her vision began to blur.
It became two.
Three.
Countless.
All swaying toward her.
“Just a quick nap…”
Lilia told herself inwardly.
“Just one minute…”
“Anyway, I’m right beside her. If anything happens, I’ll wake up immediately…”
Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
The last trace of clarity was swallowed by darkness.
Lilia’s head suddenly dropped forward.
It did not hit the floor.
Instead, it bumped into something soft and warm.
That was…
Hera’s foot resting at the edge of the bed.
At the same time—
Hera, whose breathing had been steady, had her eyelashes tremble ever so slightly.
The hand beneath the blanket silently clenched.
At that instant, Lilia felt her heart skip a beat.
Not because of excitement.
Purely from fright.
Just now, her drowsy, uncontrollable head had directly crashed into the space between Hera’s ankle and the blanket.
Before she could recover from the terror of “I’m done for, I’m going to be executed,” Hera’s body suddenly trembled.
The movement was large.
Even the mattress beneath her shook along with it.
Lilia’s first reaction was not anything suggestive—it was full alarm mode.
Was it a relapse?
Hadn’t she already suppressed it earlier with 【God-Tier Massage Technique】?
Could it be a dying surge—no, damn it, a recurrence of the illness?
Lilia instantly sobered up, all traces of sleep blown far beyond the clouds.
She didn’t care about her awkward posture, nor that her face was currently buried near the Queen’s feet.
All skills activated.
【Absolute Senses】, maximum output.
Buzz—
All her senses were forcibly amplified a thousandfold.
Lilia endured the stabbing pain in her brain caused by the overload of information and focused all her attention on the woman before her.
She had to confirm the state of Hera’s magic.
If that abyssal curse erupted again, she needed to figure out a way to escape—no, to contain the situation—before Hera blasted the entire bedchamber into ruins.
There was no violent magic vortex like before.
Although Hera’s magic was still terrifyingly vast, like a bottomless black ocean, it was absurdly calm at this moment.
Not even a ripple stirred.
Lilia froze.
No relapse?
Then what was that sudden tremor just now for?
A nightmare? Sleep paralysis?
Maintaining her kneeling position by the bedside, Lilia stiffly raised her neck.
With 【Absolute Senses】 still active, she could even hear the sound of blood flowing through Hera’s veins.
Inhale—exhale—
Her heartbeat was steady and strong.
How did this look like someone unwell?
Lilia felt confused.
Could it be that her perception was wrong?
Maybe it wasn’t magic instability but pain?
Like a cramp?
Lilia swallowed.
For the sake of her own life, she felt it was necessary to confirm again.
After all, if something really happened to the Queen right under her watch, that succubus named Camilla would definitely tear her to pieces.
“M-Master?”
Lilia called out tentatively.
Her voice was very soft.
Afraid of disturbing Hera, yet also afraid she wouldn’t hear.
No response.
Hera’s eyes remained closed, her eyelashes casting a fan-shaped shadow on her pale skin.
She seemed deeply asleep.
Lilia gritted her teeth.
No choice.
Fortune favored the bold.
She decided to take a slight liberty.
Just a little.
Holding her breath, that slightly sweaty hand trembling from nervousness once again reached toward Hera.
This time, it wasn’t for a massage.
She wanted to check Hera’s forehead, or the artery at her neck.
At least to confirm whether her temperature was abnormal.
Her fingertips trembled as they approached.
Ten centimeters.
Five centimeters.
One centimeter.
Just as Lilia’s fingers were about to touch Hera’s cool, jade-like skin—
A sudden change occurred.
Hera, who had been lying quietly, suddenly moved.
Without any warning.
Without any fluctuation of magic.
That hand, previously hidden beneath the blanket, shot out like lightning.
Grabbing Lilia’s wrist in one swift motion.
“Hiss—”
Lilia sucked in a sharp breath.
It hurt!
Before she could beg for mercy, a tremendous pulling force surged forth.
Lilia had no way to resist.
Her current body was as weak as a freshly hatched chick in front of a being like Hera, the Abyss Demon Queen.
The world spun.
The ceiling and bed curtains in her vision whirled wildly.
The next second—
Thud.
Lilia’s entire body was dragged onto the bed.
She crashed straight into an embrace.
An embrace that carried a trace of coolness, yet was unbelievably soft.
Lilia’s brain instantly crashed.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
