Hearing the priest talk to her, Mirage didn’t even flinch… That guy was facing the wall opposing her. She was not sure if he really knew that she was there. Her hiding cloak was a top-tier artifact after all!
“...”
“So you want to play hard ha… Well, I noticed you since the moment you stepped into the temple… Do you know why I let you see all of that?” He asked with a dirty smile.
“...”
“Because I will enjoy you later… It should be about time…” he said as Mirage began to feel dizzy! Sh*t! She was poisoned.
Slowly she felt her strength disappear, having no more power to activate the cloak that she was wearing, which stopped working seconds later.
She needed to act… But she couldn’t move… It was as if she was frozen in place.
Mirage could just silently curse as the priest turned around to face her…
“Oh… Sorry, you were here…” he chuckled, showing a mouth that had more than one decaying tooth.
“What kind of poison is this?” she asked with difficulty as she felt her mouth grow stiff… She tried to move again but failed.
“Something new…” he said, not explaining any further as he grabbed her cloak, looked at it then put it in his ring…
“You have some nice treasure here… Let me see what else you got!”
He took a dagger from his ring and then professionally began to peel Mirage's clothes layer by layer until she was totally naked. He must have done this hundreds of times before!
The dagger was so slow and steady, that the protection talisman she had on her body failed to register it as an attack before they were cut… She had no energy to activate them forcibly.
“Damn you…” she cursed… She couldn’t believe it as the perverted priest began to check her perfect body. She quickly tried to activate her skills… all of them, but none worked.
“Don’t try… This poison is a newly developed one that disabled someone’s powers! Its only drawback is that it is very slow to activate!” he said. “I will make sure to fully enjoy you, then I will pin it on that pervert Victor… By the time your master realized that it was all a ploy, it would have already been too late!” He added as he took her ring from her finger, took a look at it, and then stacked it in his robes.
She glared at him as his eyes darted around her body.
“Calm down…” she told herself. The Fate lord's protection would save you… She believed in her lord!
“You are pretty!” he said as he began to touch himself indecently… “Your lord should have sent someone more normal instead… I was only able to discover you because I kept checking you out at the ceremony… You are my type!” he said in a depraved tone as he began to unbutton his pants. “Especially that ass!” he said groping her butt with his other hand.
Mirage’s face turned white as she closed her eyes and silently cursed, not wanting to see that man’s things as she felt his dirty hand touch her pure body that was dedicated to her lord.
“He he he…” began to chuckle lewdly then paused. “AHHHHHHHHHHHH” He began to scream, making her open her eyes to see that he was holding his crotch with his hands as blood seeped out.
He quickly took a pill from his ring and ate it desperately… But from the look on his face when he fell to the ground it was clearly not working.
“DAMN IT. IT MUST BE THEODORE! HE POSIONED ME BACK THEN!” He screamed. “I AM GOING TO FIND HIM AND FUCK HIM UP!”
“DAMN HIM”
“DAMN HIS FAMILY”
“ahhhhhhhhhh”
“Damn…”
“Noooo”
“Please….”
“Help”
“AA......”
“...”
The priest’s voice slowly disappeared as a river of black blood exploded from all his orifices above and below. No one came to his rescue as the room was fully soundproof to hide the old man’s perverted hobbies!
It was not a pretty sight at all. No matter how many pills he took, they were not effective.
Mirage was terrified not knowing what poison was this… She could only watch as the old man died and slowly began to decompose after that for the next three hours with a very stinky smell… only his old bones and two storage rings were left of him.
Slowly she began to feel that her body was no longer stiff… The moment the poison affecting her was weak enough and she could move, She quickly took herring from the floor with some difficulty, and then took a general antidote pill from it and ate it.
It was super effective. She could move freely 30 seconds later!
She quickly took a silk scarf and wrapped it around her face covering her nose and then put on some cloth before she began to search around the old man’s room.
Finding nothing interesting, she just took a sample of the priest's black blood and his storage ring before escaping.
…
Victor who was sitting to the side of the room smiled coldly as he watched Mirage leave with the hot potato! Lily’s fate!
It was all him before she closed her eyes… and the real priest after!
Yes, it was all a ploy by him to make the fate sect forget about him and start focusing on some imaginary enemy that he didn’t name on purpose. He was not sure what powers worked for the fate sect after all!
He hoped that they would make a connection between the mirror and the dark chamber, but this was not that important. Just a side detail.
Mirage was poisoned initially at the party. And the poison was activated later with an additional substance that he released when he entered the room!
The ring Mirage took was not the priest’s ring, but a fake one he prepared. No one would be able to open it the normal way, not even the Fate lord as it needs a lot of authority to remove Victor’s imprint.
It would take them a while… And if they did ever manage to open it using some other underhanded means…. He he he…. What happened in Troy’s mansion would be an example of what would happen!
Victor chuckled as carefully he left the temple and began heading home while whistling to himself. This was destined to be a long night!
…
Alice collapsed on her chair after returning to her seat from the ladies' room. She had to go wipe and adjust her skirt after two rounds of dancing with Yulian and one with her father… She couldn’t believe it but she was having fun. Yulian was a good dancer.
At first, she was reluctant but had to do it to please her mother who also danced with her father for an entire hour!
“What’s wrong?” she looked at Yulian who was sitting at her side and asked.
“I may have drunk too much…” he said feeling strange, he never got drunk before... It was a strange fuzzy feeling.
“Oh…” she said as she watched him lean on the table.
“Shall I prepare a room for the young master?” A thoughtful maid suddenly approached and asked. “Many guests had already collapsed…” she noted. Many attendees had never drunk this much in their entire life, but the party was wild and the drinks here were of the best types!
“Yes… Please do!” Alice said with a sigh. As two other maids came and helped Yulian who was clearly drunk stand up.
“Alice… Go with them! He is your boyfriend!” Elena, who was also resting after a wild dance with her husband, scolded.
“Ahh.. yes…” Alice nodded as she also helped support Yulian as they dragged him out of the hall
They quickly found a presidential suite on the top floor and slowly put Yulian on a big bed.
“Do you need anything else my lady?” one maid asked Alice.
“Ah… No... you can leave!” she said with a frown then watched the maids walk out and close the door behind them, leaving her alone with Yulian.
“Damn it…” she cursed. She couldn't just leave. It was not appropriate to leave her ‘boyfriend’ and continue to party!
She sighed as she sat on a side couch and looked at Yulian.
She had to confess, he was handsome… His features were those of a prince somehow. He was destined not to be ordinary… Too bad he grew up in a poor family... No. He was the lucky one, he didn't have to marry against his will like she did...
Looking at him for the next few minutes, she began to feel strange, wanting to touch his face.
Not knowing why, she slowly stood and approached him, touching his face… his hair then his lips…
A strange feeling rushed through her body…
She slowly knelt beside him on the bed and kissed him… she wanted just a taste, but she couldn't let go.
He opened his eyes and looked at her… She looked stunning up close… He couldn’t help himself but touch her.
She yelped and wanted to step back in fright but he caught her…
She could have easily gotten rid of him and kicked his ass but couldn’t…. She didn't want to...
…

“See I told you he is a bastard! Isn’t that a little overboard? I mean Victor fixing his sister with that hobo using the wine and libido effect?” Alpha cursed as she watched from the cameras in the control center.
“He must have some plan! You saw how he scammed everyone earlier!” Camellia said. “And using the relaxing and the Libido effects of the shard was really amazing… Just look at how wild the party is downstairs!”
“Fun my ass…. Many women will get pregnant tonight…” Alpha sighed. “Yin, you don’t have to look…”
“Ah… Sorry… but… They are both pretty like sculptures and… AH….” Yin screamed as she put her hands on her face, covering her eyes. The scene on the monitor displaying Yulian and Alice had just turned into something that someone in her age group should not watch.
“Mission accomplished!” Alpha said as she turned off the monitor, disappointing the few girls who gathered to watch. They even brought some popcorn.
“He never technically forced them!” one girl said.
“Beta… You have been corrupted by him!” Alpha retorted. “Putting two drunk horny teenagers in the same room is the same as forcing them!”
“But…”
“Just look at the other two! Lea and Archie, they have been at it since the morning! We stopped all effects on them hours ago, wanting them to go down and attend the ceremony but it is to no avail!” Alpha yelled angrily.
“You got a point there! But they are very compatible!” Nora, one of the assassin girls said, “Now, can you turn on the monitor again?”
“NO! Don’t you have no shame?” Alpha cursed, “Why don’t you go watch your big sister Lily get f*cked instead?” she asked the assassin girls who finished their mission earlier and were now relaxing.
“Do you want us to die a gruesome death?” another one of the assassin girls exclaimed.
Yin nodded. From the time she spent with Lily, she realized how ruthless she could be.
“Why does the young master like Lily anyway?” Alpha asked, turning to Beta. “He has many better girls! Personally, I like that slut Margret better!”
“I think because she is completely loyal to him!” Beta said. “She would literally die for him!”
“The twins would too!” Alpha interjected.
“I think it is because she is the prettiest!” Camellia proposed.
“Prettier than me?” Alpha asked. She didn’t know why.
“By a bit…” Camellia answered nervously as she looked away.
“I think because she was his first one…” Theta said.
“You heard him… He said that Mira was his first love….”
“Then what?”
“Love is a strange thing…” another said.
“I guess we would never truly know…” Alpha sighed.
thanks for the chapter!
to be honest, i don't mind what happened between Alice and Yulian. Although i do kind of want to see Victor rub it in her face, like *oh, sister, i see you like the boyfriend i found for you?:-)*
would be so satisfying lol
Then employ every defence talisman he has and waits out herself response.
Wait for the morning-after-face and the Very Bad Trip's comments...
Alice will be really protective of Yulian.
Waiting for Théodore's réaction.
Power upgrades for them might be nice, but caspian is about to go down and a person like that is taking a lot of people with them. If someone at the fate sect notices she "the pervert" is still a virgin, she dies.
Also, if she ends up pregnant, then both families may have to push for marriage. Not noble enough to marry, too noble to disrespect if you get a daughter of the house pregnant, she could be accepted as a concubine by yulian's mother.
This is a good result too.
Except she thinks that's not the boyfriend he chosed. Can't reveal that.
@MercenaryChaos
Just have to wait for the reckoning when the van Krone will come out of the closet.
Hi, mom, here's my kid, aged only about 70 years old now. (Or 530 880 chapters from now )
@Xuan-Wu Personally I'm looking forward to James' reaction to Yulian and Alice's sexcepades, especially when he learns Alice, "The Slut", was actually a virgin.
@Darkness_rave
Yep
Me too.
Especially if James is smart enough to associate the two siblings reputations.
Alice = slut= Real Virgin.
Victor = pervert = ????
Get miss Lily out NOW !!!
What ?
Too late ?
@Xuan-Wu He'll find out if there's a lower position than janitor.
@Xuan-Wu That sounds hilarious.
Especially if the next time they see her, they see her real face kissing Victor. Maybe with an appraise with that big fat DRAGON MAIN WIFE status.
I hope Ruby got ordained as a priestess (even if it was a mail order ordaining), still legally required for all weddings within the countries borders.
And we will find out if there is a lower position than Janitor.. Furniture maybe.
I just thought of something. If they find out about Victor and Lily, how likely is the faction that is responsible for Lily being disappeared to be blamed for this? (I believe they aren't eliminated until about two years from now.) I think that might escalate them to a civil war.
If that is the case, James might be less in danger as he was being sabotaged. Or he might be in more danger as he was already in trouble for helping Yulian, which could be construed as sabotaging his trial.
Either way, the Von Krone family is not going to have a good day.
Though as an idea: what if the Von Krone family fractures because of the civil war. Victor might be able to swoop in and collect a significant portion of the family under his wing if he is strong enough when it happens, maybe getting another Von Krone girl as a bonus.
(Personally I would find it hilarious if things work out so the Von Krone, Von Rosen, and Von Zwei houses all fall pretty much simultaneously keeping Victor's tendency to do things en masse: rescuing maidens, marrying girls, destroying houses. Would be logistically difficult and Victor probably wants to be personally there for all three at once, so he may need a hidden fast travel method to pull that off.)
@Definitelyreal
I was thinking that it was a combination effect of the fate sect hitting the real world ruler with bad luck and death fates combined with political forces trying to make her disappear because of her potential. Her bloodline power just existing, would make her father a far more favorable candidate than other people of his generation. Remember, you need to pick family heads whose children are good options for successors.
I think the Von Krone should be free from the option of civil war: 1. they retreated until the reckoning 2. less outside forces applying pressure causing civil war.
I would still like to see James Trove get demoted to the rank of Furniture.
Victor will wipe the Von Rosen out, he promised Alpha.
@Blueneck666
I just realized that there is another reason they cannot happen on the same day. After Alpha's first date with Victor at the Von Rosen's place, it would work better romantically if they have a little time before their second date at the Von Zwei's.
@Definitelyreal Alpha hates the Von zwei and Von Rosen. The Von geldstadt only have Charlotte and her branch (which is working for the dark chamber) as on Victor's list.
@Blueneck666
I meant Zwei this entire time. That was my bad. Changing it to avoid future confusion.
@Definitelyreal
To Victor taking out the Von Zwei:
If there is a Von Zwei girl that Victor is going to rescue then she is going to be an even bigger woobie (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheWoobie) then Lara, Elise, Alpha, and Lin combined. To let a girl with corpse maggot bloodline anywhere near everyone else is risky. Maybe if her bloodline has evolved into something that was no longer a maggot, too. Victor is more likely to find experimental subjects that he can save from the Von Zwei.
I think its going to be a bite at a time, a chunk of facilities while leaving no evidence...
@Blueneck666 I think he has already saved one, just saved her from becoming a Von Zwei at least. Last seen curled up after snacking on a demon.
@Grey_Hat True, forgot about Rita. Still a von Weiss, unless her bloodline mutates due to death energies?
@Blueneck666 Then so far as that family is concerned the best bet for a true bloodline woobie is an illegitimate mistreated daughter of the patriarchs rival.
@Grey_Hat maybe with a fate line that reads "marry _______, the light lord"
@Blueneck666 Followed by cuck ______, the Light Lord.
@Blueneck666
A Dracolich bloodline would be an interesting path for Rita to take, or a bunch of other paths, from Demon Dragon to Death Dragon could all work. Dragons usually are quite good at the whole bringing death thing.
Personally, given the state of the Von Zweis and their demise after the Reckoning, if Victor gets one, I think it will be a surprise to even Victor, and yeah, I have a feeling there will be several woobies available once he raids the Von Zwei, given their tendencies. I think it might be interesting to see a situation where she has genuinely fallen for Victor, but Victor is convinced she is trying to trick and destroy him.
An interesting way this could go is maybe she was friends with one or some of the people experimented on before they were taken for that (if we want to really make us hate the Von Zwei, she could have a slumber party with her friends, one of which is a potentially useful test subject, and they decided to take all of them to leave no witnesses), and for some reason, the person either cannot vouch for her (maybe some sort of mental block or trauma preventing her from remembering) or doesn’t trust her anymore.
The people experimented on are saved by Victor as he destroys the Von Zwei girl’s family, and all she wants it to be with her friends, but she has to prove she is trustworthy somehow.
Alice would go berserk on victor so it's better if he did't do that
