Adam was still kneeling—well, technically forced—his lips pressed reluctantly against Lady Seraphina's flawless, delicate foot. The taste was… not what he expected. For someone obsessed with hygiene in the novel—someone who bathed in rose water, used imported perfumes, and applied skin elixirs every morning—her skin still had the faint bitterness of something undeniably human.
He fought the gag reflex again, eyes twitching.
Ugh… bitter. Still somehow soft. Like licking a polished marshmallow with foot flavor…
Yet, despite the disgust, he kept up the act. Glaring upward with the fiercest defiance he could muster. His face flushed, not with arousal—but with shame. With irritation.
She was enjoying this too much.
He had read this woman's personality countless times—always in text, always distant. Cold. Beautiful. Lethal. But right now… seeing her up close, flushed and breathing heavier with every second he resisted—it was a different beast entirely.
Calm down. Think. Think! This is early in the story, he reminded himself. Sequence Twelve. I'm sure of it.
In the novel, "Eclipsed Devourer" was divided into major Sequences—each arc progression emotional trauma and her being despise by everyone.but atleast Right now She still had some sanity left... right?
He tried to recall details.
She is younger here. Her family hasn't fallen yet. The academy arc is about to start…
But before he could think further, a sudden snap struck his spine.
His body seized up.
As if frozen by invisible chains, he couldn't move. His hands, his legs—even his mouth Stop Responding. Panic flared in his chest.
And then she spoke—like silk wrapped around a knife.
"Got your mind occupied, my little puppy?" Serephina Voice a Bit cold.
She leaned down, her voice sweet and affectionate—too affectionate. The way one would talk to a pet… or a prize they planned to break.
"Don't worry~ I'll make sure all your attention stays right here—on me."
Without warning, she reached out and gripped the Slave Mark at his neck. Her hand glowed faintly as mana pulsed through her fingers. His body lifted off the ground—effortlessly—as if he weighed nothing at all.
He choked, legs dangling helplessly before she threw him backward onto the velvet-padded bed.
THUMP!
The mattress caught him, but the shock still knocked the breath from his lungs. Before he could recover, she straddled him—legs on either side of his waist. Not forcefully… but in that suffocating, dominant way. Her hands trailed along his bare chest, and her eyes—half-lidded with desire—locked on to his.
His mouth was still sealed shut, as if the system itself obeyed her command.
Damn it! She's using the Slave Mark like a controller!
Seraphina's cheeks were flushed, her breathing shallow. Her purple hair draped over her shoulders like a curtain, and her violet eyes shimmered with a kind of twisted Expressions.
"You're so full of resistance," she whispered. "So much pride in those eyes… I love that~"
Her fingers danced along his jawline, her touch gentle—too gentle. It made him more uncomfortable than her slaps.
"I wonder…" she said, biting her lip thoughtfully. "What part of a man is the most sensitive? Where can I really make you squirm, my little Puppy?"
Adam's eyes widened.
Oh no.
Her expression was playful, curious, yet terrifying. Like a child toying with a new doll—except this one had real nerves, real pain, and real dignity.
She tapped her chin.
"Is it… the ears?" she leaned in, brushing her lips near his lobe. Her breath sent shivers down his spine.
"Or perhaps… the inner thighs?" Her fingers traced dangerously close.
"Ah—what about… right here?"
Her hand suddenly pressed over his lower abdomen, and Adam almost exploded from pure secondhand shame.
No no no nonononono—
He flailed internally, but his body was still stuck. The most he could manage was a death glare that practically screamed:
Try it and I'll haunt you.
She giggled.
Giggled.
Like this was her new favorite game.
"Don't look at me like that. This is what happens when you act all rebellious." She leaned in, whispering against his lips. "You make me feel things I've never felt before. It's thrilling."
Adam would have barked out a sarcastic reply if his lips weren't sealed. Instead, he let out a muffled grunt of defiance.
She tilted her head, frowning for the first time.
"Still not Submitting?" Her voice grew softer—too soft. "Still trying to fight the leash?"
Then her tone sharpened.
"Maybe I should really break you…"
She Suddenly Gripped His Groin and Cruelly Playing with his Nipples.
Adam eyes widen in shock and Let out a Helpless Moan While Seriphina was shocked Really shock.
"Oh My~ i didn't think you have a Weapon hidden here~" Her voice teasing but seems extremely satisfied.
As she suddenly stopped Restricting his whole body waiting for Adam Reactions as She cruelly yet gently.
Pressed his Groin harder rubbing it over and over Again her eyes twisted with Cruel Desire Towards him.

Adam couldn't answer—but inwardly, he was screaming in triumph.
Yes! Just a little more... if I can endure this psychotic Girl.
