Shut Up, Young Lady, Obediently Hand Over The Money And Don't Confess! Chapter 404 : Why on Earth Did It Come to This

The past contract had undoubtedly been the single ray of light for the ostracized Dorothy in her darkness.

Under Felyn's patient and perfect companionship, Dorothy slowly beca more cheerful and confident.

Because she had soone in her heart she wanted to protect, she burst forth with infinite potential.

She liked Felyn. She loved Felyn.

And Felyn, because of the role-playing in the contract, had said things to her like, "I won't leave you, Dorothy."

Over ti, Dorothy's inner attachnt to Felyn deepened, gradually turning her into what she was now.

And tonight, seeing that the girls around Felyn were all just as beautiful and outstanding as she was, made Dorothy feel very insecure.

She was afraid that the girls appearing by Felyn's side would an Felyn would never co to her bedroom again.

That was why she would act so crazily, why she would try every ans possible to keep Felyn by her side.

"Dorothy..."

Felyn felt the girl's body temperature and sighed softly.

Why on earth did it co to this?

Everything that had happened tonight made Felyn feel a little overwheld.

Things were developing too quickly; he felt like he was being pushed along.

With no extra ti to think about right or wrong, Felyn had to make one decision after another.

He leaned against the wall in the center of the rooftop, gazing at the night sky made of endless fireworks.

Tonight was graduation day, a day to bid farewell to the past and welco the future.

Felyn felt that his own future would also be completely changed tonight.

Viloti's feelings, Adelina's worries, Zervanie's efforts, Daiyi's farewell.

All of these were causing the high wall Felyn had built around his heart to slowly crumble.

The contract... was it really that important?

The bottom line... should it be changed?

Felyn didn't know. His thoughts tonight were extrely complex, and he couldn't co to a definite conclusion.

But there was one thing he was clear about.

Facing this group of girls, he didn't want to lie anymore.

Using the contract as a shield, blocking out everyone's emotions, and preventing himself from developing feelings for clients and forr clients—that was Felyn's past thod.

But now, that model had clearly been shattered by Dorothy's crazed yet pure feelings.

Her love was pure, it was crazy, it was obsessive, it was stubborn.

But it was this love, like an unstoppable giant wheel, that had crashed into the high wall around Felyn's heart.

"Zervanie, Dorothy and I have sothing to talk about."

Felyn gently patted Zervanie's shoulder, signaling her not to worry.

The songstress was still uneasy, but seeing the persistence in Felyn's eyes, she didn't say anything more and silently moved away for the ti being.

Zervanie didn't go far, just stood a short distance away, watching their every move.

As he watched Zervanie's departing figure, Felyn spoke, "Dorothy, after you transferred your demonic power to last ti, how long were you unconscious?"

Felyn was referring to the incident in the school festival organizing committee room, where Dorothy had taken him to an empty classroom, forcibly kissed him, and transferred her demonic power to him.

Dorothy hadn't expected Felyn to suddenly ask about this. She didn't dare to lift her head, continuing to press her forehead against Felyn's arm.

"J-just for a day."

"Really?"

"Mhm!"

Felyn patted Dorothy's head, and her body trembled slightly at the touch.

"Veronica already told . You almost lost your life."

Dorothy pouted, finally lifting her head. Her purple eyes were wide as she mumbled, "Veronica tells you everything..."

Felyn smiled smugly, shifting into a more comfortable position. "Veronica didn't tell . I was just lying to you."

Let tell you one last lie.

The bottom line is flexible, anyway.

"Brother Felyn, you!" Dorothy's fist lightly tapped Felyn's shoulder, then she put her hands on her hips and huffed.

"If you hadn't fainted at the last mont, you probably would have transferred all your demonic power to , right? Why on earth would you do that?" Felyn's smile vanished, and he looked directly into Dorothy's eyes.

"Because... because it was my first ti kissing Brother Felyn, I just wanted to kiss a little longer..." Dorothy's fingertips tapped against each other, and she spoke with so embarrassnt.

"Dorothy, that's not the only reason, is it?"

Having been with Dorothy for so long, Felyn could tell whether she was hiding sothing.

Seeing that she couldn't hide it from Felyn, Dorothy had no choice but to lower her head and admit honestly, "Because Brother Felyn's body really needed my power. I could feel your body actively absorbing my demonic power, so... so I gave it all to you."

Perhaps afraid that Felyn would bla her, Dorothy grabbed his sleeves and shook them gently. "Brother Felyn, Dorothy didn't take good care of her body and made you worry. But as long as it's sothing Brother Felyn wants, whether it's demonic power or money, Dorothy will give it all to you, without reservation, even... even if..."

Dorothy bit her lip, her red lips parting slightly. "Even if Brother Felyn wants my life, I will give it to you without hesitation."

Felyn sighed, looking at Dorothy's slightly trembling fingertips.

"Don't say things like that in the future. It's creepy. If soone else heard, they'd think I was an evil god or a demon king."

Dorothy was different from Adelina, Viloti, and Zervanie. She was his client.

And her feelings had long been made clear to Felyn.

Felyn had previously thought about how to face the sowhat crazy Dorothy. He had thought about running away, ending the contract, and letting Eitani counterbalance her.

But he had always hesitated, and hesitation leads to defeat.

During his period of hesitation, Dorothy had already done so much for him, even overdrawing her own body.

Felyn understood that Dorothy's efforts had far exceeded the remuneration stipulated in the contract.

He couldn't bring himself to say, "Dorothy, our contract ends here. Let's not see each other again."

That would be completely irresponsible.

If he really wanted to stay away from Dorothy, he would have to repay everything she had done for him during this ti.

And if he continued to hesitate, the debt he owed Dorothy would only grow larger.

Therefore, a change had to be made imdiately.

"Dorothy, I want to tell you sothing." Felyn scratched his cheek, finding it a bit difficult to say. "Let's get this straight, I'm serious. Don't you laugh at ."

Dorothy paused, then pressed her body against Felyn's arm. "How could I? I would never laugh at my Brother Felyn."

Felyn took a few deep breaths and said intermittently, "Dorothy... isn't tonight graduation? If I can get into the royal capital district, I'll have a chance to appear in public with you."

If he entered the royal capital district to study, and with the Demon King's daughter Eitani having signed a contract with him, he could even appear directly before the royal family.

After all, the empire really needed Eitani right now.

"That way we can et anyti. I want... I want to help you beco the next monarch. You can co to with any problems you have."

Felyn finally said it, and a weight lifted from his heart.

It felt a little embarrassing...

He was just a commoner right now, yet he was talking about helping a princess compete for the throne. It was truly a bit fanciful.

But this was the best thod Felyn could think of.

If he could really help Dorothy, and she successfully beca the monarch, her inner conflict would be resolved, and perhaps she wouldn't be so obsessive.

And when she beca the monarch and had a bright future, he wouldn't be so important to her anymore.

Up until now, Felyn had always seen Dorothy as a client. He hoped Dorothy wouldn't live for him; the world was vast, and there were many other wonderful things.

If he was completely useless—and he really couldn't be of much help—Dorothy would also see his true, weak self in the process. This would shatter her perfect filter of him.

He wasn't the omnipotent Brother Felyn; he was just Felyn.

If he did this, it would clearly exceed the contents of the contract.

But so what?

This wasn't the first ti he had done sothing like this.

"Re-really?!"

Dorothy looked at Felyn in disbelief, suspecting she had misheard.

After a long mont, joy spread throughout her body. Her hands began to tremble uncontrollably, her heart beat faster and faster, and her long, pinkish-purple hair danced with excitent.

Felyn's thoughts and Dorothy's thoughts had a slight... deviation.

A weak Felyn, a real Felyn, a stupid Felyn who couldn't do anything, would only make Dorothy's protective instincts stronger, would only make Dorothy like Felyn even more.

And once Dorothy beca the monarch, she would beco a completely fatuous ruler, giving Felyn whatever he wanted.

Felyn didn't yet know that once Dorothy beca the monarch, he was destined to beco the man who brought ruin to the nation in the history books.

Click.

The response to Felyn was a crisp sound.

Felyn slowly closed his eyes, hearing that sound of despair.

He couldn't figure out which sentence he had said wrong.

The only response he got was the cold handcuffs on his wrist.

He had been cuffed by Dorothy again
