Chapter 488 – #102_Charity Event (6)
#487
1.
The fortune witch, Periwinkle, whom I had only heard about, was the most sophisticated beauty Amelia had ever seen among witches.
Black pearl earrings, exuding a noble beauty, adorned both earlobes, and to top it off, three piercings pierced through her ear cartilage.
Several rings, made of different precious metals, were intertwined on her long fingers.
Her bracelets jingled like a bag of gold coins, and her dress, adorned with jewels, sparkled in the dim candlelight.
Even with all the jewelry and extravagant decorations, she didn’t look frivolous at all because the aura surrounding Periwinkle was incredibly classy and radiant.
While Amelia was on edge due to the unexpected appearance of a formidable opponent, Periwinkle scanned Amelia up and down with a peculiar gaze.
“I’ve heard a lot about you. It’s my first time meeting you in person.”
“Yes.”
“I’ve also made a custom order, so please take good care of me when I visit next time.”
“……”
A formal exchange of greetings.
Unlike Amelia, who was wary of Periwinkle for seeming close to Siwoo, Periwinkle herself didn’t think much of it.
In the first place, her relationship with Siwoo was that of a sex partner with good chemistry, someone she wouldn’t mind throwing a few clovers at.
To add a little more, he was nothing more or less than a perverted sex partner who had opened her backdoor, and she didn’t want a relationship that went any further.
Especially since she hated being tied down to anything.
Isn’t taking only the sweet parts the best kind of relationship between a man and a woman?
Although, she did help him out in many ways because his actions were cute.
“By the way, you’re as beautiful as the rumors say. Is Siwoo good at what he does?”
Periwinkle’s magic is very unique.
The power to draw powerful luck to herself.
Even if she couldn’t defeat a witch stronger than Periwinkle, she was the owner of a strong fortune that would ensure she survived even if the world were to end.
That characteristic contributed to her having a my-pace attitude that didn’t care about counts or dukes.
Therefore, Periwinkle calmly observed Amelia without being intimidated at all.
“Hmm~”
The Malcuth Gallery, covered by a glass dome like a greenhouse, wasn’t very cold even in the middle of winter.
However, Amelia was wrapped tightly in a cloak, as if she were a woman who had just thrown on a long padded coat over her naked body.
For Periwinkle, who knew many things, the picture was easy to draw.
In short, she was in the middle of ‘that’ kind of play.
“Oh my, how bold. You look like a demure princess on the outside. Or is it your hobby?”
“What are you talking about?”
Siwoo was bewildered, and Periwinkle had finished assessing the situation again.
It was a gaze that wouldn’t usually intimidate her, but Amelia, who was slightly excited, belatedly realized what situation she was in.
And she instinctively sensed that Periwinkle had figured out Amelia’s state.
“No? I thought for sure you had ordered him to do it… You’re quite proactive, aren’t you?”
As the swirling gaze swept over her body, Amelia felt her hair stand on end.
Even if it was an event prepared in consideration of Siwoo’s tastes, she was aware that what she was doing was frivolous.
Being caught by a third party, not even Siwoo, was the worst situation Amelia had imagined.
Cold sweat broke out again, and her cheeks stiffened.
Preparing herself mentally and revealing it in front of Siwoo was completely different from being exposed by someone else.
Amelia wanted to leave the place right away.
If she had known this would happen, she shouldn’t have even stepped foot in the cafe.
Belated regret pounded in her chest.
Seeing Amelia’s pale face and Siwoo’s bewildered expression, Periwinkle completed the rest of the picture.
“Oh dear, it seems I’ve become a bigger nuisance than I thought.”
“You’ve been saying strange things since earlier.”
Even if she didn’t think much of it, it was Periwinkle’s nature to respond if the other person showed such a challenging look.
However, she decided to call it quits for today.
Even though she had voluntarily given up her baronetcy, the other person was a 23rd-level being.
Just because she lived as she pleased didn’t mean she needed to make enemies.
“Anyway, let’s settle the debt later, and I’ll be going. A friend is waiting for me.”
“Yes, please go ahead.”
“Then, goodbye, Miss Marigold.”
Periwinkle looked at Amelia one last time, then winked slightly and brought her index finger to her lips.
It was a gesture telling her not to worry, that she would keep quiet.
Amelia let out a sigh of relief, but she was also seized by a strange sense of defeat.
It was a mess.
2.
The two of them left the cafe and went for a walk alone again.
Amelia, who had been hesitating, asked Siwoo.
“Was that person earlier the fortune witch?”
“Yes, she’s someone who has helped me in many ways.”
Perhaps because the cool breeze had cleared her head, Amelia was able to reflect on Periwinkle’s words belatedly.
The words ‘let’s settle the debt later’ or Periwinkle’s appearance as she urged, ‘when are you going to repay the favor?’
Judging from the circumstances, it seemed that Siwoo had received a lot of help from her and had a debt to repay.
“What kind of help?”
“Well, she saved me when I was almost attacked by a homunculus, and I’ve survived a few times thanks to the artifacts she gave me, and she also helped my friend’s business as a favor.”
“She’s a… grateful person.”
“That’s right.”
Most witches are self-centered.
There are no witches who help others without conditions.
Even if it was a contribution that saved lives several times, no one would let it go without getting something in return.
Then, what did Periwinkle ask of Siwoo? she wondered.
In addition, the thought of what else had happened to make them seem so close made her feel uneasy.
“So, what did she ask for?”
Considering Siwoo’s past relationships, she somehow felt like she knew the answer.
“That…”
“You don’t have to be shy.”
“…We had a few encounters. It’s over now.”
The answer that came back was as expected.
She knew that the body and mind were not always together.
Sex and love are not the same.
There is definitely an intersection between the two, but the existence of sex without love can be seen just by looking at the Velvet Brothel in Tarot Town.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you in advance.”
However, a little jealousy was unavoidable.
Just like she felt with Sharon and the twins, a burning competitive spirit was also unavoidable.
“Was it good?”
“…Huh?”
Perhaps that’s why she asked such a question, even though she knew it was frivolous.
However, even if she blurted it out in a fit of anger, it wasn’t as if she could completely shake off the embarrassment, so Amelia’s voice was as small as a mosquito’s.
“When you had encounters with her… was it good?”
It wasn’t just about her relationship with Periwinkle.
It was a broad question that included Sharon, Odile Odette, Tiferet, and even Count Yesod.
Besides Amelia, there were many women by Siwoo’s side.
As a result of clashing with his lovers so far, Amelia also realized that she had only formed a minor relationship with him that wasn’t particularly noteworthy.
“Tell me everything about how you were with them.”
At the same time as her provocative tone, Amelia’s voice, which had been weak, gradually regained its strength.
While Siwoo was flustered, not expecting Amelia to ask such a question so openly, Amelia seemed to have organized her thoughts, and she looked at Siwoo with increasingly clear eyes.
“I want to hear it. I really do.”
“……”
“But don’t lie to me.”
“…I understand.”
Amelia’s question was not really common sense.
It was a question that completely invaded the other person’s privacy.
However, the fact that there were many women he had been with was a sore point for Amelia as well as his other lovers.
The reason why he didn’t specifically mention his relationship with Periwinkle to Amelia, just because it was over, was for the same reason.
It was also true that it was a shitty thing to do, and there were many cowardly actions.
So, just like the twins did with Count Yesod’s matter, he could understand why Amelia was angry.
“First… it was a bit forceful.”
“Forceful…”
“I tied her up with my ribbon.”
The awkwardness of having to reveal the details of his relationships with other women.
In the midst of that, Amelia’s expression, which changed from moment to moment, was very concerning.
Right now, she was making a very agonizing expression, as if she was contemplating Siwoo’s fate.
“And then?”
Siwoo was momentarily speechless.
He had opened Periwinkle’s backdoor.
But he couldn’t bring himself to confess such an act in front of Amelia, who was more ignorant about relationships than he thought.
“I did it… in the back.”
“In the back…?”
As expected, she looked shocked.
However, Amelia regained her composure much faster than expected.
Instead, she spoke softly, her face flushed.
“The hole in the back… you mean? Not the one we did…?”
“…That’s right.”
“And then?”
“I… hit her butt a lot with my hand.”
“Her butt? With your fist? Did she do something wrong?”
“No, not with my fist. With my palm…”
Roughly, these were the kinds of chilling conversations.
He was a bit bothered by revealing his sexual relationship with Periwinkle without her consent, but she would understand.
She would probably laugh, saying that Siwoo’s flustered appearance was funny.
After hearing about their relationship history, Amelia shut her mouth tightly.
Her head was spinning.
3 days of crazy, frantic sex.
Not only did he tie her up and alternate between her two holes until she fainted, but he also woke her up with his dick even when she fainted, like a beast.
Amelia had also tasted a fragment of that.
She had knelt in front of Siwoo, apologizing for dirtying the sheets and crying weakly.
Until then, she thought that was enough.
She was secretly proud of herself.
“Once again, I’m very sorry for telling you so late…”
“……”
However, after learning the whole truth, Amelia realized that her efforts were far from what Siwoo had demanded.
At the same time, a question arose.
Why doesn’t he do that to me?
Why doesn’t he ask that of me?
Is it because he thinks I can’t do it?
Has she ever really satisfied Siwoo?
As she thought that, her lips involuntarily pouted.
“Follow me.”
Amelia looked around.
She quickly grabbed Siwoo’s wrist and strode forward.
Into an alleyway where there were no people.
