---- Pm very pleased youre my ve.


    Tonight, you''ll serve me.


    If you''re obedient, I''ll treat you well.


    My own words made my skin crawl.


    The girl smiled shyly and lowered her head.


    Pll do everything to please mydy, I heard her whisper and then footsteps approaching.


    I couldve sworn Id stopped the air currents, yet something cold was freezing my back.


    I turned, and Ss handed me a ss, his expression hard, intimidating.


    He was pissed, despite being part of my nbut still, he followed through without making mistakes.


    He''d taken advantage of her being distracted to slip the spell I given him into her drink.


    Here, he handed the enchanted ss to the girl, who didnt take it and just stared at me.


    Take it, dear.


    Its to toast your arrival at my mansion, I ordered, pressing my lips to my own ss and taking a long sip.


    She was terrified of SsI suspected hed secretly threatened her.


    With trembling hands, she finally grabbed the ss under the fierce gaze of my silver-haired man.


    ss, return to your post, I ordered because he was impossible.


    ---- He obeyed, and she rxed abit, slowly drinking the wine, which carried a powerful spell to control her mind and scramble her perception, memories, and reality.


    She dropped like a fainted chicken in less than five minutes.


    Can 1 kill her now? Who said we''re going to kill her? I shot him a you''re insufferable look.


    T dont like being controlled, and killing her wont solve this problem.


    I''ll cast a spell on you now.


    Take her to her roomno one will see youand leave her in her bed.


    He looked at me, then at the girl.


    Ss, dont even think about it.


    Ill punish you.


    Youre getting way too rebellious, I raised a finger in front of his face, angry.


    He lowered his lips and gently kissed the fingertip, leaving mepletely stunned.


    Then he turned and walked over to the ves body.


    When you thought hed go right, he surprised you from the left.


    He had me crazy, and I was faking this sweet littlemb act less and less.


    Fine, I focused, stretching out my hands and casting a simple spell that concealed them from any nosy servants eyes.


    Take her and leave her in bed as if she''d woken up there.


    ---- Yes, mydy, he replied, and I thought hed carry herbut nope.


    He roughly grabbed her by the armpits and started dragging her like a rag doll.


    I stood there, the scolding stuck in my throat, stretching out my hand, only to pinch the bridge of my nose.


    Goddess, what am I going to do with this man? But damn, he looks so sexy.


    Can I keep him and take him with me? Is that even allowed? seper SILAS That night, I stood guard outside that ves room after leaving her just as mydy ordered.
