Chapter 10: Her Mouth is So Stubborn
“I only… to you.”
The girl’s voice was weak, her whole body exuding a sweet fragrance as she nestled in her arms.
Hermione’s heart suddenly trembled.
Some indescribable feelings seemed to surface from the depths.
She even almost suspected that her spiritual suppression on Adele still hadn’t ended.
But obviously, the reality was that Adele was indeed awake.
She even took advantage of the moment when Hermione hadn’t recovered her senses.
Slowly placed her hand on the back of Hermione’s hand that was holding her.
Gently caressing.
Her gaze seemed lost in memories, showing struggle, and finally relief.
“Thank you for saving me, Hermione.”
“…It’s about that matter.”
Hermione’s heart wavered, unable to describe the feeling.
So, it was out of gratitude?
“I just didn’t want my thing to be dirtied by a lowly woman.”
Such a hard mouth.
Adele wantonly stroked the girl’s distinct knuckles.
Feeling the snow-like coolness on them, while thinking.
I wonder if kissing them would…
Hermione felt uncomfortable because of this.
She also didn’t know why, but felt that as Adele’s caress continued, her own face became more and more flushed.
If there was a mirror in front of Hermione at this moment.
Then she would be surprised to find.
On her cheeks, the color of spring cherry blossoms had long been applied.
“Enough, what are you doing without my permission?”
Hermione was urged by that flustered emotion and pulled her hand away from Adele’s fingertips.
At this moment, she actually felt an unspeakable emptiness.
And to fill this void.
She began to impatiently push Adele down on the soft snow-white bed.
The girl was like a pure oleander flower, blooming beautifully.
Hermione’s figure had an invasive beauty.
Almost filling Adele’s entire vision.
“I’m just… afraid you’ll be in pain.”
Adele murmured.
Biting the tip of her tongue to create the illusion of moistness in her eyes.
Damn it, it hurts!
But being able to see the fleeting hesitation flash in Hermione’s ice-blue pupils.
For Adele, it was worth acting deeply in love.
Although that hesitation was quickly replaced by a slightly angry annoyance.
If Adele hadn’t brought this up, perhaps Hermione wouldn’t have recalled that moment.
“Now you’re worried about my pain?”
“When you were protecting Celeste, how come you didn’t think about my pain!”
“No… that’s not it.”
Adele anxiously wanted to explain, her slightly bulging chest rising and falling with her increasingly rapid breathing.
“What’s not it?”
Hermione tightly grasped the girl’s snow-white wrist.
The force she used clearly showed how much she cared.
“Celeste… she, she’s very weak, compared to you.”
“I was afraid Celeste wouldn’t be able to endure…”
In the setting, Adele was indeed a kind girl.
“But have you forgotten what she did to you!”
Hermione’s dissatisfaction overflowed from her tone.
The humidity in the surrounding air also rose noticeably.
Adele opened her lips, her pink gaze seemed to be shrouded in gloom.
She wanted to say something, but tactfully closed her mouth.
“…What did you want to say?”
But Hermione was relentless.
Her hand cupped Adele’s cheek, her silver-blue long hair falling next to her ear.
Adele looked into her eyes, seeming a bit aggrieved, her voice choked.
“But… what she and Hermione, what you all did… is there any difference?”
The girl’s words, like the thorns of a thorn, deeply pierced Hermione’s heart.
Hermione had always been different from the other Sequence One vampires.
The other vampires, like Dorothy, like Sherry.
They never cared about their evil deeds, thinking it was the authority bestowed upon them by the heavens.
The strong riding above the weak, as it should be.
But Hermione was cold on the outside and gentle on the inside.
She was invisibly enticed by Adele, she was also complicit with Dorothy and the others.
But…
In a certain part of her heart, deep inside.
She had always been suffering, constantly blaming herself.
Knowing it was wrong, but still indulging in it, causing great harm to Adele.
Yes, she and Celeste were actually not much different.
“You… you’re our toy, why can’t you have some self-awareness!”
She was still as stubborn as ever.
But even so.
At this moment, Adele used a fragile rhetorical question.
The “pit” of self-blame and guilt deep in her heart that was detonated was still there.
She would continue to be condemned and tortured by her conscience.
She couldn’t help but want to compensate Adele.
This was the invisible asset that Adele sought.
Undoubtedly, she succeeded.
To describe it in one word.
That would be, “win”.
But Adele wouldn’t get complacent.
She would dutifully act until the end, immersing herself in the role.
Only by fooling herself first could she fool others.
Hearing Hermione’s harsh words, Adele’s eyes suddenly turned red.
A piece reflected in Hermione’s eyes, red like a burning flame, making people feel scorched.
She sniffed, her drooping sorrowful eyes seemed to accept her fate.
After a long time, she replied in a low voice.
“…Yes.”
…………
In the dining room, at the seats for the main meal.
Hermione and Adele sat far apart.
The former pretended to be elegant, the latter pretended to be nervous.
On Adele’s neck, there were a few noticeable red marks left by the owner in a bad mood.
At the same time, her clothes were not too disheveled.
The skirt was also intact.
As for why…
Time goes back ten minutes.
After hearing Adele’s words.
Hermione seemed to have lost the mood to tease her “toy”.
She only casually kissed a few times.
Without even unbuttoning Adele’s shirt.
She rolled off the bed.
Before leaving the bedroom.
Hermione left a cold command.
“Keep me company to eat.”
She said “keep me company”.
But the one who was actually hungry and thirsty was clearly Adele.
Sequence Five vampires were almost no different from ordinary humans.
At most, their strength would increase and they would have a bit of magical power after sucking blood.
And Sequence Ones, in a sense, could reach the state of “abstaining from grains” in cultivation novels, with delicacies and red wine only for enjoyment.
Adele looked at Hermione’s lonely figure leaving.
But what she thought in her heart was…
She’s really so gentle, I’m going to cry!
Among the Sequence One villainous female leads, Hermione was simply the existence of “cleansing without seduction, emerging from mud unstained”.
As a Sequence One, she actually had a moral sense and sympathized with the weak, even Adele found it a bit incredible.
No wonder she was one of the few girls Adele was more fond of when reading the novel.
But as for her ending…
Just thinking about it.
Adele felt a stomach ache.
To describe her in one sentence, that would be “stubborn mouth” throughout the book!
Only proud and not cute, the consequences.
No need for Adele to say more.
