Chapter 138

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Lord Yaakummo and the king inched closer to me, under Lord Naaotto’s command.

While watching the scene unfold with glee, Lord Naaotto cut himself on the wrist to draw some blood for me to drink.

He then began to fill a readied glass with the bright red blood dripping from his wrist. The blood made light slopping sounds as it poured in. You could tell from the volume of blood that he had cut deep into his veins.

After making sure that plenty of blood had been poured, Lord Naaotto took a cloth and tied it tightly around his wrist. It was clear that he was ensuring the bleeding would stop.

If he had let the profuse bleeding continue, he would have surely been risking death by blood loss. Thus, he was taking care to suppress the wound.

“…Ah. All right, drink up. I poured you a generous helping of my blood, after all,” said Lord Naaotto.

“I refuse to drink that,” I said.

I wondered who in their right mind would drink blood willingly – not to mention, this was Lord Naaotto’s blood.

“I hurt my wrist to give you this blood. Why won’t you have some?” he asked.

“I couldn’t possibly drink it. It has the power to control people, right? Not even a fool would knowingly drink it,” I replied.

“Well, I can’t say I’m surprised. I thought I might forgive you if you drank it voluntarily, but… King, restrict Ray’s body from moving about,” he said.

“…”

“…I’m sorry,” the king whispered in my ear as he proceeded to restrain me.

“Lord Yaakummo, hold this glass containing my blood and feed it to Ray,” said Lord Naaotto.

“Yes, as you wish,” said Lord Yaakummo, smiling and taking the glass. He came towards me.

“Open your mouth, please,” said Lord Yaakummo, grinning.

I refused without speaking and shut my mouth tightly. Lord Yaakummo, still grinning before me, held the glass and stopped moving.　 Perhaps this man could not get himself to force my mouth open.

“What are you doing?” Lord Yaakummo demanded, “Hurry up and feed my blood to Ray! Ah!” Lord Naaotto’s voice was spastic with irritation.

His body must have tightened up, for a gush of blood slopped out of his wrist. It appeared his bleeding hadn’t been stopped yet.　 It could only be assumed that he had really cut himself quite badly.

“But she won’t. She won’t open her mouth for me. I cannot feed her the blood if she won’t open her mouth,” said Lord Yaakummo to Lord Naaotto, smiling all the while.

“Agh! You bastard!! Well, fine. Open her mouth by force,” ordered Lord Naaotto, enraged at Lord Yaakummo but immediately revising his command to Lord Yaakummo.

At the same time, his wound gushed more and more blood from his wrist.

“Miss Rachel, please open your mouth,” said Lord Yaakummo.

“She won’t open her mouth,” said Lord Yaakummo after seeing me clench my mouth shut. I wondered if he didn’t understand what opening by force meant.

“You fool! Stop messing about!” yelled Lord Naaotto.

“I am not messing about. She will not open her mouth, and so I am unable to feed her the blood,” stated Lord Yaakummo, smiling.

This conversation was going nowhere. I wondered what Lord Yaakummo was thinking. I thought that perhaps the fact that he was not moving according to Lord Naaotto’s commands meant that Lord Naaotto’s wording of his orders were not precise enough.

“…Ack. You mean to say that my orders aren’t precise enough, do you?!!” demanded Lord Naaotto.

Lord Naaotto, grimaced, perhaps because of the pain in his wrist.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
