‘What if, in fact, the original story is what happens when I’m possessed as Veronica, not Roina?’

That assumption flashed through her mind. Certainly, the crown prince treated Veronica gently and kindly, and Lutan respected Roina’s will. If she had been possessed as a noble lady, she wouldn’t have started with such a rough experience.

But this is just an assumption. There is still no basis for it. Roina put that thought aside for now. Right now, escaping to the outside is more urgent than the truth.

And then, the barrier of Quies, which even Lutan couldn’t invade, suddenly came to her mind. The stoppage of time, Quies’ unique power that is difficult to invade. That fluctuating rhythm was delicately and strongly imprinted in Roina’s mind. This, perhaps, she felt she could do as well.

The conversation outside the door was almost finished. She didn’t have much time. Find the cause of her mana being swallowed up, and eliminate it, and stop time. If she could only do that, she could escape with her own power. Roina bit her lip and examined her surroundings once more, slowly.

Among the mana surrounding her, the dull darkness that loomed was intricately intertwined, like a riddle. This was a different concept from the magic mainly used here.

This sorcery could not be measured by those standards. If the magic of the Kailum Empire is like using a defined operational formula by accurately measuring a fixed amount, like an array of numbers, this is like a haze where it is difficult to ascertain the exact amount,

It felt like it was spreading out from the air, covering every part of the place. Once entangled in it, existing magic ceased to function. It seemed to be more free-flowing, and the method of handling it was different as well.

Roina slowly composed her mana and sensed the haze-like energy slowly winding around and enveloping the room. Yes, this sorcery maintained its power by circulating. Just like a giant snake that continuously draws a circle, feeding on its own tail and growing.

‘I know how to break it.’

This sorcery was emitting a haze-like energy through a medium in reality. If that medium in reality were scattered, the circulation could be easily cut off. Unlike existing magic, which moves all at once with a single will, several sorceries were combined for a single purpose.

The oriental objects in this room, which seemed to be there only as meaningless decorations, were that medium.

Upon realizing this, Roina urgently turned around and took a step. At that moment,

“Hehe, as expected, I can’t let my guard down.”

A shiver ran down her spine. The owner of this room had returned silently and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close. She felt a sweet fragrance spreading dizzyingly from him. Her mind became hazy without her even realizing it.

He lowered his head and caressed her nape, and his cold hand slid under her thigh, lifting her clothes and reaching in.

“Hngh- Wait.”

A breathless sigh escaped her involuntarily. She resented her body, which became steeply aroused against her will. Unlike ordinary d***s, which become less effective over time as one gets used to them, his energy was not like that. It was so dangerous, sweet, and alluring.

“You cannot escape. You will be in my embrace forever.”

Because that’s what I’ll make happen. This snake-like man’s unique laughter scattered in the air. His hand finally lifted her clothes completely and grasped her b****t. It felt like being a prey caught in an inescapable snare, struggling helplessly.
