Chapter 176
Just then, the maids noticed Ashtel’s marks covering his back and lightly dusted more powder to decorate him.
The continuous stimulation from front and back stoked Payne’s lust.
His mind went blank.
He never thought he’d compare feelings, but it was completely different from when Ashtel touched him.
Her gentle caresses brought overwhelming pleasure that he’d try to escape, but it never felt disgusting.
This was an intense, nauseating rejection deep inside.
Alongside the lust dominating Payne’s mind surged an equally strong sense of misery.
He shut his eyes tightly, blocking out his wavering vision.
The maids, remembering their master’s orders, finally let go of his member but kept teasing him playfully.
Just as Payne was panting and almost giving in to himself, the stable door suddenly creaked open.
“Payne!”
A voice he desperately longed for poured in with the cold night air.
Payne raised his head up and stared in dazed amazement at the shining blonde hair.
“How dare a mere human lay eyes on my Payne?”
Ashtel had arrived.

Rewinding to just after Ashtel met Roman.
She realized deep conversations with Roman were difficult under Van’s watchful gaze and tried to find a moment alone with him.
To her surprise, Roman’s voice suddenly echoed in her mind.
[Ah, ah. Can you hear me?]
“Gasp.”
[Don’t be alarmed. The knights might find this suspicious. You can’t reply to me, just nod your head, understand?]
Ashtel slowly nodded.
[This is a masterpiece Carmen and I created. It allows virtual communication through magic inside the holy barrier.]
“Ah, yes…”
[But usage time is limited. Only about ten minutes. I want to improve it so it works inside that damned temple and connects to Carmen in the demon world…]
“Look, Roman. This is the communicator.”
“Ah, yes.”
Could he just ramble on about only having ten minutes?
Ashtel cut him off immediately and showed him the device, signaling him silently.
[You’re the youngest sister Carmen mentioned, right?]
This time she blinked in response, and Roman’s smile deepened.
[I recognized you right away. I once developed a magical photography device, and Carmen was the first to use it…]
“Are you not paying attention?”
Ashtel scolded Roman irritably.
This damn guy kept talking nonsense.
She gave him a warning look—if he did it again, she’d report him to Carmen.
He closed his mouth and squinted his already narrow eyes.
[Anyway, we have to get out of here, right?]
“Ha… I miss Payne.”
[We need to find your priest too.]
“I wonder if he’s okay.”
[Do you know where he is?]
She nodded immediately.
Because she had placed a necklace on him, it would be easy to find him by stepping outside the barrier and using a little magic.
[Good. We’ll get him out.]
Roman said this as he took the communicator from Ashtel’s hand and stood up.
[Please be sure to tell Carmen I helped.]
“Hm.”
[I’ll also help you get to your priest.]
“Hehe.”
She didn’t know why, but Roman was more cooperative than she expected.
‘Good. Now I just need to lose that knight and reach Payne!’
Payne… she hoped he was alright.
The magic she placed on him had just reacted, meaning he had moved away from the temporary shelter.
He seemed to still be in the village, but since he was wanted, she couldn’t be sure what had happened.
‘What if he’s already been dragged to the temple?’
Anxiously, Ashtel bit her lip, desperate to return to him quickly.
Meanwhile, Roman approached Van and showed him the communicator, explaining.
“There’s a magic entity detection spell on this. Only that succubus can operate it.”
“…So, what do we do?”
“Luckily, I can forcibly draw magic out using a demon as a conduit. First, remove the magic restraint device, then send me and the demon outside the holy barrier.”
Van glanced between Ashtel and Roman, weighing the risks. Removing the magic restraint device from Ashtel was dangerous.
But he recalled her confident declaration that she could contact Duvalkan.
After a moment of silence, he asked Ashtel,
“Are you sure this will find Diar?”
“Yes, it will. If you doubt, feed me holy water.”
Ashtel was the one who kidnapped Duvalkan. He saw this as a good chance to find his location by torture.
Van wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
He planned to keep Ashtel close and squeeze her for all she was worth until Duvalkan was freed.
“Alright, go.”
As he reached out and touched the restraint device, it clattered and fell away.
Ashtel twisted her newly freed neck and smiled.
Thus began the lucky escape of Ashtel and Roman, Carmen’s man.
