## Chapter 399 – Unintentional Intent (19)
The atmosphere in the lair was heating up with anticipation for the grand banquet, a rare occurrence that had everyone in high spirits.
But that cheerful mood was shattered in an instant by the shocking news brought by one Henia.
“What happened? Explain quickly.”
“The sisters are searching right now…
But we can’t find her anywhere.
This has never happened before…”
“Yupi? You said she was ambushed?”
A deer-morph Henia stood trembling before Vivian, giving her report. Vivian, who had been sitting on a tree-root chair with her eyes closed, trying to suppress her anger, cut her off mid-sentence.
Startled by the interruption, Henia’s face crumpled as she lowered her head and answered.
“Yupi’s life isn’t in danger…
Although she was found collapsed…
Her breathing is stable…
But… the scent is completely gone, Queen.
It’s as if it’s been wiped clean.
I’m sorry… I should have been more careful…”
“Haa…”
Anyone in the lair would know that the deer-morph Henia standing before Vivian was in charge of managing the prisoners in the jail.
Someone had escaped from the jail she was nominally in charge of.
She glanced sideways at the tentacles, watching them wriggle as if they knew nothing. Swallowing nervously, she felt a lump in her throat.
This was practically deceiving Enic’s eyes, who was also the jail itself.
Vivian glared at Henia, knowing that scolding her would be pointless.
Finally, she sighed deeply, composed herself, and calmly continued discussing the aftermath.
“Save the self-reproach for later, and find her first.
Nothing else matters until that’s done.
Some of the girls are still at Floraz because their shift isn’t over yet.
We have to handle this as much as possible on our own.
Did you check where the little ones are?”
“That… well…
She wasn’t with the children…”
“Well, what? Is there something unusual?”
“Greta… is missing, Queen…”
“What…?
Greta?”
As the second serious topic arose, Vivian seemed to lose all composure, staring at Henia with her mouth agape.
Henia, now on the verge of tears, prostrated herself before Vivian, her voice shrill with apology, as if realizing the gravity of her mistake.
“I asked the other sisters to look for her, just in case…
But circumstantially… it seems she disappeared with the prisoner!
Maybe… if she’s being held hostage…
I’m sorry, Queen!! Greta… Greta!!”
Greta was one of the few, no, now the only cute morph-child in the lair.
Even though her actions were somewhat peculiar, those who knew her true nature—only two people in the lair—felt a playfulness beneath her outward personality.
One was, of course, Enic, and the other was Vivian, who had directly experienced her memories.
“Immediately send the other Henias her description and widen the search area.
Even if she’s taken outside, just bring her back.
Before she makes contact with anyone else, catch her…!”
“Yes… yes! I’ll do it right away!!”
As Vivian rose from her seat, summoning Nemea from the flower tattoo around her collarbone and quickly getting dressed, Henia bowed deeply and hurried out to relay her orders.
Watching her go, Vivian, who had strapped her sheathed sword to her waist, bit her lip as she checked her equipment.
‘Saurua… a dragon.
An existence that ordinary beings can’t even scratch.
So worrying about Greta is pointless…’
With Floraz starting its business for the peak season, many members were away, and to make matters worse, Ranie, her right-hand woman, was also absent.
In a way, the lair’s security was at its weakest, and Vivian couldn’t help but think that the accident she had always feared had finally happened.
‘What’s more troubling is…
The lair’s secrets being leaked.
Of all times…’
Even if she called for Aurora now, her physical abilities were only that of a slightly stronger woman, and she had no combat or search skills, so it was best to keep her at Floraz.
‘Just what is that guy?
Fooling the morphs’ sense of smell?
Is he like those assassins from Chaoxing last time?
Or… could it be Greta…?’
It seemed that as soon as one problem was solved, another arose.
Even problems piling up one after another—that was life, after all.
But lately, it felt like problems were occurring more frequently, and Vivian was lost in thought about how to solve this one.

How much longer than a month ago was it?
Unlike the current scene in the lair, where humans, morphs, and even Elven were all united in a joyful festival atmosphere.
The story of those days when the lair, with its master gone, was swept up in a chaotic mess, and they had to struggle to clean it up.
– Kirelkerk!!
“Haa…!! Haa…!! Hiss…!!”
Had she heard something unbelievable, a terrible sound vibrating in her head?
A woman who had been sleeping soundly on the floor gasped, her eyes wide open as she sat up.
Her eyes still held a fierce fighting spirit, as intense as ever.
“Haa… no…
Where… am I…”
Even so, deep-rooted dark emotions were sparsely mixed within.
It seemed impossible for her to hide them with just that intense emotion, at least for her.
The experiences she had endured were so terrible and horrific that those with ordinary hearts could never have withstood the painful time.
“My body… definitely… shouldn’t be in good condition…”
As soon as she woke up, she checked her physical condition as she had done her whole life, slowly feeling and moving her body, and discovered something surprisingly strange.
Her body, which should have been suffering from violence and emaciated from hunger.
Her wrists and ankles, which had been rotting away, could have driven her to death before she could even cut them off herself.
She had been thrown into a dirty environment without even eating proper food, so her stomach was always suffering from abdominal pain, the cause of which she didn’t even know.
‘I feel a little hungry, but… it’s not severe…
Have they been feeding me something?’
Even the cruel sexual torture, inflicted only for the sake of entertainment, treating women as mere toys to vent their desires, without any consideration.
And the agonizing, unbearable bleeding that followed, the gang rape that plagued her body.
It was as if there was no pain at all, as usual, no.
Realizing that she felt even better than usual, she finally noticed the different scenery around her, her eyes filled with questions. Lucia di Borgia.
“How long… have I been unconscious?”
Unlike the earth fairies’ cave, which was filled with a piercing stench and shuddering filth, the air was fresh and cozy, with a slight smell of soil, as if it were well-ventilated.
Lucia, who had opened her eyes in that place, found crude bars made of what looked like tree roots, and slowly got up and approached them.
That was because she had been hearing an annoying voice making strange noises since earlier.
“Ehehe… Ahit…!!
Eeeung… Master…♡
Not… like this…
Master’s heart, fully…♡♡♡”
Their positions were slightly off, so the angle wasn’t good, but she could see a woman with brown hair swaying her head back and forth beyond the bars, saying strange things she couldn’t understand.
Seeing the woman’s body surrounded by a bizarre mass of flesh, leaving only her neck exposed, Lucia instinctively felt wary and stepped away from the bars.
‘This isn’t the earth fairies’ lair…
What’s going on?
Is there anything I can use as a weapon…?’
“Nella… where’s Nella?”
Only then did she stick to the bars again, her eyes wide as she frantically looked around at the empty cells.
“Nella!! Nellaa!!
Where are you!!
Answer if you can hear me!!”
But seeing that her junior was nowhere to be found, Lucia continued to look around, hoping that she had just collapsed and was out of sight.
In the end, she could only see the unknown brown-haired woman, and she had to grit her teeth and endure the emotions that welled up inside her.
“Hey…!! You, woman!!
I’m looking for someone!!
Have you seen a short, red-haired girl with a round face…!!”
“Ahehet…♡ Master…!!
Hehe!! That place…
Ooong!! No… way!! Oogok♡♡♡”
In her haste, she shouted at the brown-haired woman who was far away, but she only let out meaningless laughter and moans as if she had lost her mind.
Leaving aside the brown-haired woman, who seemed to be of no help in the current situation, perhaps because she was distracted by something, Lucia reached out to the bars she was holding.
As she grabbed the tree-root bars and gave them a few test tugs, her expression brightened as she saw the bars start to make a shaky creaking sound.
‘It’s just tree roots.
I can easily break them in my current condition.
I need to get out of here and find Nella quickly…’
But, at that very moment.
“Oh my, you’re awake?
I was worried because you kept sleeping for so long.”
Lucia was startled by the sudden voice from the side, and she turned to the source of the voice, sending a wary look.
“A morph…?”
A female morph she had never seen or met before.
Lucia’s face was filled with bewilderment as she approached, smiling as if she was glad to see her, without even hearing her footsteps.
“You can even move?
And your eyes are so clear.
You were in such a terrible state, I’m so glad…!!”
“What are you…”
“Oh? You must be getting hungry!
Shall we go have a meal together?”
The morph suddenly opened one side of the bars, revealing a door that Lucia hadn’t even known existed.
Lucia, who had been planning to break the bars until now, tilted her head with a feeling of emptiness and easily followed her out through the door she had opened.
“But, that woman…?”
“That person… ahaha…
It’s nothing, just don’t worry about her!
It’ll be easier for you that way… hehe…”
As she came out of the cell and started walking on the wooden floor, she finally saw the brown-haired woman in the distance.
Despite the fact that she was half-eaten by the mass of flesh, the morph dismissed it as nothing, giving an awkward smile, and Lucia’s eyes were filled with even more doubt.
“More importantly, it’s mealtime!
It’s a little late now, so?
Other people might be there first.
I’m telling you in advance so you won’t be too surprised?”
“Telling me in advance… what’s surprising about it…”
‘She’s strong… her physical strength is no joke…’
The female morph, saying things she didn’t understand, grabbed Lucia’s hand tightly and started leading her somewhere.
Lucia, taken aback by her strength, was half-dragged along as they climbed a subtle wooden staircase that seemed to be a natural slope, and finally reached the next floor.
Even before reaching the next floor.
The strange sound coming through the stairwell was definitely something she couldn’t hide.
“Haaang♡ Heeeing!! Aangeut!! Eeeeuung♡”
“Aaaah!! I’m going, I’m going, I’m going, I’m going♡♡♡”
Lucia stopped instinctively, as if her body had frozen, and took a step back.
The images of her juniors screaming under monsters, or their heads banging on the floor due to their limp necks while their waists were lifted high.
The sight of them despairing at their own voices, which they couldn’t help but utter, and shedding tears of sorrow and self-deprecation, their lips trembling with sadness as they parted their trembling thighs to avoid the worst.
The fate of a female, a toy to satisfy desires and a seed-bearer for reproduction, writhing in pain until her life was exhausted.
Even the opponent was different from the earth fairies, whom she could kill with a sword.
‘Even these people…
Are helplessly held captive by this thing…’
The truth told by the number of women this thing possessed was that it completely controlled over a hundred women, preventing them from disobeying it.
Among them were quite a few morphs, including the one who had just felt that her physical strength was quite high.
Even if her own skills were far superior, Lucia’s intuition could only tell her that she was in a very dangerous situation.
This was on a different scale from the earth fairies, who only plundered and kidnapped a few dozen people, locked them in a warehouse, and played with them.
‘If I recklessly resist something like this…’
But she could only vaguely feel that their attitude was different from their own at that time.
Lucia, who was trampled and crushed by the earth fairies, and who had been screaming and crying, was ultimately led by the female morph who was guiding her, and she found herself in the middle of them, staring at the shocking sight with her mouth agape.
The female morph who had been taking her there struggled to move forward, playfully slapping the buttocks of the other Henias who were being penetrated by tentacles, and pushing people away.
“Sorry for interrupting your fun, but I’m just passing through~
The newbie hasn’t eaten, so please understand!!
Eeit!! Just come out a little!!”
“Eunghiit!! Yupi…
I… I was about to go… just now.
Eeu… eeeungeut…!! Aaa… Master♡
Please let me go again…♡
Please pound my precious baby room…♡”
While she was shocked by the sight, Lucia, who had been guided by the female morph who was guiding her, found herself in the middle of them, staring at the shocking sight with her mouth agape.
