Chapter 74: Confusion

Holy Spirit Potion?

Hearing Amelia’s request, Verna didn’t think much of it and nodded, saying, “No problem.”

Although Holy Spirit Potions were the property of the Church of Heaven and normally difficult to obtain, she was still the Princess of the Luban Duchy. The clergy in the Bild City diocese would give her some face.

Amelia also breathed a sigh of relief.

Her original plan was to get the potion through Vera, but that wasn’t guaranteed. After all, a Count’s daughter wasn’t that highly esteemed by the Church.

Being able to get it through Verna now was naturally the better option.

Verna wouldn’t pry into what Amelia needed the Holy Spirit Potion for, either. Their contract included a clause about not digging into each other’s business.

“Amelia, it’s getting late, so I’ll be heading back. I’ll contact you once I’ve created the right opportunity.”

“Alright, see you later.”

“Goodbye.”

Verna bid farewell to Amelia and vanished into the deep night.

With Verna gone, Amelia let out a long breath.

So much had happened in just this single day. She couldn’t help but sit down on the living room sofa to sort through the content in her mind.

After sitting for a while, she heard Eileen’s footsteps approaching.

“Miss Lily, you didn’t finish your dinner. I’ve just reheated it for you,” Eileen said, looking at Amelia.

“Dinner… I’d forgotten I was still in the middle of eating.” Amelia smiled and stood up.

As Amelia stood, Eileen subconsciously created distance between them.

With the curse still affecting her, she didn’t dare get too close to Amelia. Strange urges always bubbled up in her heart, making her want to pounce on Amelia and do strange things.

Seeing Eileen’s retreating step, Amelia said, “Eileen, you should have heard my conversation with Verna. I believe it won’t be long before she delivers a sufficiently pure Holy Spirit Potion to resolve your curse.”

“Mhm, I look forward to that moment.” Eileen’s eyes lit up slightly.

Because of this strange curse, she couldn’t properly fulfill her duty as a guard to protect Amelia, so she was naturally eager to get rid of it.

Perhaps it was because she was thinking about how the curse might soon be removed, but Eileen’s heart subconsciously relaxed a little. At that moment, Amelia needed to pass by her to continue her meal in the dining room and got just a little too close.

Amelia’s natural scent wafted right to Eileen’s nose.

So fragrant!

The moment this thought flashed through her mind, Eileen moved uncontrollably. She appeared right beside Amelia and pulled her into a tight embrace.

“Eileen?”

Eileen’s sudden action startled even Amelia.

Before the Demon of Lust Curse on Eileen was removed, Amelia could perfectly imagine the result of any physical contact. Her small face immediately turned pale.

“Don’t, Eileen!”

Amelia cried out in alarm before her world spun.

When she came to her senses, she found herself pinned on the sofa, her hands held down firmly, completely unable to move.

【Oh-ho, was what had to happen bound to happen after all?】

【I thought with the Holy Spirit Potion in sight, nothing strange would happen between Amelia and Eileen anymore. Looks like I was far too naive.】

【The dev team really gets it. First make you think there’s no hope, then suddenly give you hope—is this to create a stronger impact on us viewers?】

【Ehehe, Amelia, bet you never thought you’d end up in this situation, did you? Ehehe.】

【Even though I know a Holy Light is definitely coming up, just hearing the sounds is enough to satisfy me.】

The scene unfolding before their eyes instantly excited the viewers. They cried out wildly, sending a flood of bullet comments.

Amelia’s face flushed bright red as she twisted her body desperately, but she simply couldn’t resist Eileen’s strength.

Why is this happening?

The Holy Spirit Potion was practically within reach, and I was so close to getting Eileen back to normal. Why does something like this have to happen at the final, critical moment?

She absolutely did not want to be taken in front of so many viewers!

This urgent situation sent Amelia’s mind into chaos. She subconsciously blurted out, “If… if something really has to happen, at least make it so the viewers can’t see anything!”

The instant those words fell, Amelia felt the entire world become brilliantly vivid. All the colors seemed so rich—the reds redder, the yellows yellower, the blues bluer, the blacks blacker…

As these dense, saturated colors surged forth, a realization dawned on Amelia.

She had said something she shouldn’t have… She had done this before, and the moment she spoke, she had fainted. That same situation had occurred again through her carelessness.

Without any surprise, Amelia lost consciousness.

Before she blacked out, a single thought bloomed in Amelia’s mind: If she couldn’t resist Eileen while awake, she’d be completely defenseless while unconscious.

I’m done for.

What the viewers and Eileen saw was different. In their eyes, Amelia hadn’t uttered that panicked forbidden sentence.

In their eyes, Amelia struggled and struggled until she simply passed out, even bleeding from her nose.

【What’s happening? Why did Amelia suddenly faint, and why is she bleeding?】

【Could she have been too scared?】

【How did this happen? Even though I was looking forward to what came next, if it means Amelia gets hurt, then forget it.】

【This… Eileen, don’t! If this keeps going, it’s turning into an R-rated plot.】

【Is Amelia okay?】

This sudden turn of events filled the watching viewers with worry.

“Your… Your Majesty…”

At the critical moment, Eileen regained a sliver of clarity.

Or rather, when she saw the blood trickling from Amelia’s nose, the shock of the blood snapped her back to her senses.

I made Her Majesty bleed?

The sight before her eyes finally cleared Eileen’s head, allowing her to forcibly suppress the impulses driven by the Demon of Lust Curse within her.

She scrambled off Amelia and frantically dealt with her nosebleed.

Afterward, Eileen fought back the urges in her heart and checked Amelia’s body for other issues. Once she found that it was only a nosebleed and nothing else was wrong, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It was just that the process of checking her body was truly unbearable for Eileen.

She was about to lose control once more.
