#656

1.
Finally, all the deductions connect into one.

The reason Linne, who had asserted that Tiferet couldn’t have become so strong just from sparring with Siwoo, even gave her a ‘gift’ to examine her potential.
Even the reason Alice was ordered by Linne to sleep with her.

Looking back, it was simple.
Linne and the Silent Witch were the ones who brought Siwoo into the labyrinth.

It’s unclear if Siwoo was the target from the beginning, but if Linne was the one who set up the game and laid the trap, she would have been closely watching Tiferet and Siwoo.

The reasons are as follows:

First.
A duke with the power of the 23rd tier is a dangerous figure who could be the biggest variable in the plan, and as far as she has observed, Linne is burning with a strange sense of competition towards Tiferet.

The second is rather simple; the most scarce loot on that battlefield is none other than Siwoo.

There’s no way she would have taken her eyes off two key figures sticking together, even for a moment.
She must have been monitoring the two of them sharing intimate moments in the jeep in the middle of the desert.

“Master.”

The one thing that’s certain is that there’s no time to leisurely regret past mistakes.
It was an accident that couldn’t have been foreseen, and there’s an urgent matter that needs to be resolved right now.

The biggest crisis since being captured by Hexen Nacht.
Siwoo’s mind starts racing.

“This is a bit much, isn’t it?”

First, he acted as if he had nothing to hide, shamelessly.

“I embraced you, Master, as if you were considerate of me, even though you weren’t really my type.”
“What…!”
“But to have to do it twice in front of you, Master?”

Alice’s face turned red at Siwoo’s sarcastic remark.
However, having roughly grasped the situation, she immediately joined in Siwoo’s act.

Excellent quick wit and adaptability.
As expected, the experience of surviving as an exile is not something to be ignored.

“Hey, isn’t that too much? I tried my best too!”
“But what can I do? You’re not my type.”
“Is that something you say to the woman you just rolled around with?”
“……”

It’s not just a baseless denial.

Siwoo’s magic amplification and imprint replication are unprecedented abilities that any witch would covet.
If there had been confirmation, Linne, who only pursues strength, would have been fixated from the start.

In other words, it has been confirmed that Linne has noticed some kind of hint about Siwoo’s hidden skill, but it was only an ‘suspicion’ rather than ‘proof’.

Why is that?
The reason is simple.

It’s widely known that the Master’s senses are extremely developed.
Even though her intuition is as sharp as a blade, it becomes quite lax during intimacy, so she even missed the presence of Della, who was quite close, but it’s unlikely that Linne knew that.

Considering all these situations, it’s clear that she was watching the act of intercourse, but from a very far distance.

There were two ejaculations that day.
One of them was an internal ejaculation.

If Linne had used magic, Siwoo or Eloa would have noticed, so she probably observed with the naked eye.
All she could have seen was a car shaking roughly, a car door fogged up with steam, and a single wave of magical power.

If he can make up a good enough excuse, it means it’s not a checkmate yet.

“Didn’t you ask me to buy you because you liked me?”

Linne’s eyes narrowed at Siwoo’s excuse.

“When I actually took your clothes off, you weren’t that great.”

After all, this Master isn’t interested in morals.
Therefore, Siwoo’s explanation is also uninhibited.

“Is that really the reason?”

But Linne didn’t back down easily.

It meant she had conceded a lot.

Even the fact that she tried to confirm it by using Alice, who had lied that she liked him, instead of Yebin next to her.
It’s a completely unexpected impression, but I’m thinking that she might have been concerned about Siwoo’s opinion.

“Seeing you come out like this. It seems like you have a rough idea of what’s going on.”
“That’s right. I consider it one of the potentials you possess. Because I saw you sleeping with Tiferet.”

It seems like things have really gone wrong.
If so, it’s a bad move to just keep making up blatant lies.

He needs gray right now.
A subtle gray that mixes truth and lies.

“If I wanted to, I could have confirmed it by force. I could have ordered you. But I didn’t.”
“No, you wouldn’t be able to.”

Linne’s eyes turned cold as he brazenly stepped forward.
It was understandable.
Siwoo’s attitude was more arrogant and uncooperative than ever.

“Don’t be mistaken. There’s only one reason I took you as a disciple.”

She took him as a disciple because he might be useful as an enchanting and strengthening material, not because she liked him.
He already knew that much.

“To be honest, I didn’t think you’d notice that far.”

He acted like a black-hearted villain who had been caught, making a joke.
The second measure to avoid getting caught in a gray lie, don’t show any signs of being nervous or impatient.

“Don’t be cocky.”

The murderous intent that pierced him like an icicle made his spine tingle, but he didn’t show it.
The information gap is valid regardless of force or power.

The side with more information can suck the side with less information dry, as can be seen from Sharon’s recent financial situation.
I told her not to do crypto.

“I definitely had a relationship with Alice. But nothing happened. Even if I repeat it a hundred times, it’ll be the same result.”
“…I can’t even believe that you had a relationship with Alice.”
“She has lewd decorations on her legs and chest. Why don’t you check it out?”

Siwoo raised Alice and pushed her towards Linne.

Linne put her finger in Alice’s cleavage and pulled at her clothes.
And her eyes widened slightly before returning to normal.

“What do you mean by the same result?”

I’m sorry to Alice, whose face has turned red with shame again, but she’s already received his semen, so with this much evidence, it seems she’s decided to believe the fact that they ‘did it’.

This is the turning point.

He has to choose his answer carefully.

He has to make up a plausible gray lie that is difficult to verify, and even if they do verify it directly, it won’t be a big deal.

“As you expected, Master, when I have a very satisfying relationship, I release pure magic along with a wave of magic.”
“……”
“But I wasn’t very satisfied with Alice. So, even if I repeat it, nothing will happen.”
“Satisfied?”
“Of course, I mean sexually satisfied.”
“……”

This is the information gap.
It’s impossible to hide the fact that Siwoo had ‘sex’ with Eloa anyway.
If so, it’s better to throw out distorted information to confuse them.

“Is that so.”

Linne, who was muttering calmly, even though she looked suspicious.
It seems like one layer of suspicion has been peeled off.

However, the situation has only stopped from getting worse, it’s still not good.
All he’s done is avoid being forced to have sex with Alice right now and not get caught for his magic amplification.

“Get out.”

Linne gestured to Alice with her chin.

Alice, who had been standing awkwardly, quietly left the room in the face of the frost-like silence.
Only Siwoo and Linne remained in the room with the lonely burning fireplace and the bedding.

The moment has come.

Either way, Siwoo has hidden something from Linne.

And Linne is sensing that there is a stepping stone to a higher level there.
It would be a mistake to think that Linne, who pursues strength like a monk undergoing asceticism, would easily let it go.

“Just in case, I’m telling you, even if I have a satisfying relationship, nothing will happen. Of course, Duke Tiferet didn’t get stronger because of that either.”
“I can’t believe it. You’re hiding too much.”

As expected, she’s thinking of trying it herself.
Given Linne’s master-disciple relationship and values, it’s obvious that the logic that a master and disciple are no different from parents and children won’t work.

In other words.

“I’ll check it myself.”

It’s not strange that these words are coming out.

It’s a situation he’s seen many times.
It was definitely like this when he first greeted his little mother-in-law.

A difficult proposal that he might have been flustered by in the past.

However, after two years of being caught up in a hurricane of women, Siwoo had built up enough inner strength not to be greatly flustered in any situation.

“Do you know what that means?”
“Take off your clothes.”
“It’s just a waste of time.”
“It’s enough to make you satisfied.”

Linne, nonchalantly untying the waist tie of her martial arts uniform.

He’s laid the groundwork well so far.
It was a basic construction that anticipated that Linne, who had been waiting, might come out like this.

Linne, who has been observed so far, is clearly a thorough pragmatist and ascetic.
It’s hard to imagine that she, of all people, has had sexual experience.
There’s no reason not to take advantage of the information gap that has occurred once again.

“Are you really sure? My tastes are a bit peculiar.”
“I’m not interested in your tastes.”
“But if you don’t match my tastes, it’s meaningless.”
“…Okay, tell me your tastes.”

Siwoo leaned in close to Linne’s ear and whispered.

A hardcore play that even Linne, who is obsessed with strength, would have to hesitate at.
That play that had all the witches he had experienced so far in shock.

“……?”

Even though he had spoken clearly right next to her ear, Linne blinked as if she had received a radio communication between Mars and Earth.
It seems like she didn’t understand it at once.

“So, to put it another way….”

Whisper, whisper, whisper.
He explained the same words in a little more detail.

Oh.
This time, there’s definitely a change.
Her crimson lips twitching.
Her neat eyebrows, like orchids under her bangs, are distorted asymmetrically.

The identity of the lively expression that Siwoo has encountered for the first time since he met her is….

“……”

It’s the look of contempt as if she’s looking at a maggot.
Linne’s hand, which had been silently untying her belt, also stopped abruptly.

“You filthy bastard.”

Her shoulders, which had been puffed up with excitement, stopped as she took a breath of air, making her look like a cat with its fur puffed up.

“You filthy bastard.”

Linne, who had hurled insults twice in a row, as if she was deeply impressed, turned her back.
She left the room as it was, with a stubborn look that she didn’t even want to hear an explanation or clarification.
