Chapter 202
Kyon felt like he’d just taken a breath of fresh air. The cunning but stupid girl had framed herself, and now she was deservedly suffering. So much the better. And now it was time to do some exercises, which his soul required for some reason.
A couple of hours later, the door to the training hall opened. A beautiful girl in a tight dark outfit walked awkwardly inside. Her blond hair, usually silky and well-groomed, was now dull and disheveled. Her usually charming and full of life face had turned pale, emotionless. However, there was a feverish blush to her cheeks and ethereal sadness in her beautiful eyes.
«Our bet has expired. Why are you here?»
Juno mumbled something he couldn’t catch. Her nervously running eyes fixed for a second on Kyon’s lips.
Kyon understood everything at once and grinned. Curiosity had taken its toll on his “sister.” It broke her noble spirit and pushed her over the edge.
Now that the bet had expired, the only way to get answers to her questions was to kiss him. It was too hard for her to get over herself and just do it, so she decided to have a little drink. Alcohol revealed another facet of her beauty. Her unsteady but still graceful gait had a weird attractiveness. She used to be alluring like an inaccessible, innocent angel, whose violent temper drove men crazy. Now her appeal for him was that of the frail girl, indecisive and insecure.
Juno approached Kyon at arm’s length. Her breath grew noticeably quicker, her heart was pounding like a jackhammer. With each step she took, she was getting more and more anxious. The last two hours in her room were like hell. She could not think of anything else but Kyon. The noble young lady understood that she was facing a very important choice in her life: either she believed in the omnipotence of her assistant, or she had to find out what his secret was. The first option was contrary to her worldview and the second… The second choice required a kiss. Juno spent painful two hours chasing away this crazy thought. If everything worked out for her, these obsessive maddening questions would finally disappear! She would get all the answers! But… at what cost?
Juno reduced the distance between them to completely unacceptable. She was so charming now in her doubt, trying to step over herself to do something that she would never have done otherwise.
Kyon detected a subtle, barely noticeable for an ordinary person aroma of her slender body. He continued to look down at her, even if they were about the same height.
Juno’s rosy lips were parted in invitation. She slowly closed her eye, framed by lush lashes, and moved even closer to him a bit. There was almost nothing left until the moment when her past self ceased to exist. She would no longer be so pure and innocent, proud and stubborn…
At the very last moment, her soul and heart protested furiously. The fleeting temptation failed to break her inner self. Her curiosity might be strong, but it was not worth her precious first kiss. She would never kiss this hated person who was born at the very bottom of society, no matter how awesome and unique he was. No slave would ever be worthy of the noble lady.
Kyon felt bitter disappointment when her little hands pushed him in the chest, and she pulled away from him. However, the intolerable girl had impressed him once again with her indomitable spirit. Subconsciously, Lovr repeatedly tried to break her down, make her surrender and bow obediently to him. It was not only out of sadistic motives but rather for his self-defense. He did not want any other feelings to get mixed with his hatred. He did not want to sympathize with his tormentor, who had turned his first uncertain steps in this world into a living hell. But damn it, he grew more and more fascinated with her!
Kyon hugged her thin waist against her will, pulling her surprised, incomprehensible face closer to his, and then pressed his mouth against her soft full lips that had long been drawing his attention. Time froze still. Kyon was in the seventh heaven of indescribable bliss. He felt the keen edge of a thrill the second he touched Juno’s tender, warm lips. She seemed to have been created and sent to him for this very moment that he wanted to last forever.
Juno’s big green eyes grew even wider, her snow-white face blushed like a ripe peach. She tried to push Kyon away, but he held her very tightly, in his own imperious way as if he did not want ever to let her go. His disgusting lips made her whole body tremble. It felt like a huge sordid leech had sucked onto her mouth.
{No! NO! NO! NO!} – Juno’s body sparkled brightly with a powerful electrical flash.
When Kyon’s embrace weakened for a second from shock, she summoned up the last of her strength, wriggled out of his arms and dashed from the training hall, sobbing bitterly and wiping big tears running down her cheeks. He had stolen her first kiss! This abominable waste of life had taken her first kiss! She had a crazy idea to give it to him first, but she gave it up… She decided to save this important kiss for her future husband, a worthy, well-mannered nobleman, a king or even an emperor but definitely not this lustful animal!
Kyon licked his lips and laughed heartily, enjoying Juno’s reaction. She was such a prude! Anyway, it brightened up his mood. Now he could continue with his exercises.
About an hour after that, late in the evening, the door creaked again. Juno entered the training hall cautiously. Her eyes were still sore from all the bitter tears she had cried, which actually looked kind of sweet… She covered her lips with her hand just in case.
«Are you here for some more?» – Kyon winked wickedly at her.
Juno slowly approached him, trying to keep her distance this time. She still hadn’t calmed down, her breathing jerky and uneven.
«Master… Where did you learn to clean the keys?» – Juno sounded so natural as if she was sure that she would get the answer like a student asking a kind teacher a question. Juno had lost something precious ant and irreplaceable, that’s why she was convinced that she was entitled to an equivalent exchange.
«Hmm? Why should I tell you?»
«Huh?» – Juno was genuinely surprised. She did not even realize at once that he had simply waved her off. – «Are you kidding me? You… You have taken my first kiss. I would even say that you brazenly suck on me like an annoying mosquito! You have promised to answers any of my questions when…»
Kyon interrupted her with a tsking sound. – «Let’s start with the fact that it was not the first kiss. The first one I took from you a long time ago, when you fell asleep in the treasury for the first time. I carried you to your room and kissed you. Then you nearly woke up.»
Juno froze in stunned surprise.
«As for my promise, I said something along the lines: “kiss me on the lips until I am pleased,” and then I added that it’s a test from your master to see if you can step over your pride. And what did I get in the end? You just stood still while I was doing all the work. I didn’t feel any tenderness or affection from you. It was like kissing a log. No good.» – Kyon was smiling ear to ear like a child who had committed the best prank in his life. – «By the way, my offer has expired right this second, so you will never get answers to any more questions.»
All colors faded from Juno’s face as if she had suddenly lost her whole family. She trembled. Confusion and disbelief in her eyes gave way to seething anger. Her inner world, which had already been pretty shaky lately, had just been shattered. Again. Juno had lost something most valuable and gained nothing in return. Her heart thrashed violently against the rib cage. She could feel burning, unbearable hatred that flooded her soul like a fiery tornado, merciless and uncontrollable.
«DIRTY BEAST, I WILL KILL YOU!» – Juno attacked Kyon so recklessly as if she wanted to scratch his eyes out at all costs. She didn’t care if he would punish her later. She just wanted to kill him right now, this very minute! This low-life scum simply should not exist in her world!
Kyon effortlessly dodged her attacks. He could not help laughing. His dark sphere was revolving rapidly. It was the first time he had pushed Juno to the brink of sanity. She used to keep calm even at the most tense and difficult moments. Kyon seemed to have crossed the line, but he did not care. The more she hated him, the more emotions she gave to his core. Her hate urged Juno to get stronger. And the stronger she was, the more he would take from her in the end!
«DIE! Die, devil! Die, die! I will never forgive you! I HATE YOU!» – The furious girl screamed with rage. The blood in her veins had turned into magma that was burning her heart. Her face, on the contrary, was ashen white. The mere sight of Kyon made her spit blood.
He enjoyed her fit of anger another moment or two and then sent Synergy into her body. Juno fainted at once. She went limp and collapsed on the floor like a puppet whose strings had been cut. It looked from the outside as if she had instantly died, but she was all right. Juno would wake up in the morning as if nothing had happened. Well, apart from the unstable mental state from the nervous breakdown.
The same frequency of their bodies and souls allowed Kyon to do whatever he wanted with Juno’s body. That’s why he was not afraid of her increasing growth and talent. Synergy didn’t use resources on moving through the body, it needed energy for interactions with matter. For example, it would come into conflict with the law of physics if it needed to cool a stone. If the task was to influence somebody, make them faint, it would come into conflict with their will and consciousness. Juno’s will turned out to be so strong that she had consumed more than half of Kyon’s Synergy supply. She surprised him once again! Juno’s will power surpassed the best geniuses of his world (those who did not have Synergy, of course).
The core sent dark pulsations into Kyon’s body, dragging his mood to the darker side.
Kyon gently kept kissing the sleeping girl on her delicate lips, beaming with undisguised, purring with pleasure and excitement. He didn’t forget to stroke her soft private places. He wondered why fear, embarrassment, anxiety, and other similar feelings suppressed sexual desire while hatred, anger, and rage only fueled it? He was desperate to find the answer.
Kyon carefully carried sleeping Juno to her room and continued with his training. She had given his core twenty percent of darkness. It was a fantastic result! Even Yegorka and Kirsan didn’t come close.
