258 The fifth woman joins the harem
[Are you going to tell Lilith about us?]
-Yeah.-
âEat the food, and then I will show you the proof. But remember one thing, you will have to become mine if I show you the proof. So I will wait for your decision after you eat.â Vincent placed his hands behind his back and looked at Lilith without saying another word.
âYou arenât playing fair, but... I donât want my life to become worse than it is now because it would...â
Lilith shook her head and stopped for a moment.
âI lost all my hope... you... you are the last person I will trust. If you betray me... I will end my life... I will !!!â
*Kiss* Vincent interrupted Lilith by locking his lips with hers. âSo you have chosen me to be your knight in shining armor, and trust me. Then my Lilith, I shall give you a new life and a new welcoming family.â He said with a seductive smile.
Vincent grabbed his shirt and took it off. â Look down, my Lilith. I hope this will become a secret between us as partners in life.â He added.
Lilith closed her eyes and gulped. She thought Vincent was going to assault her. But as time passed, Lilith felt nothing. She wasnât being touched, nor did she hear the slightest sound. Vincent didnât move.
.....
*Gulp* Lilithâs wish gradually changed. She felt an unexpected expectation of getting assaulted. The more she previously didnât want to be touched, the more she wanted Vincent to touch her.
Lilith slightly opened her eyes and peeked at Vincentâs body. Her cheeks brightly blushed the moment her eyes laid upon his chest and biceps. Her eyes lowered down, and she was about to drool.
Lilithâs gaze was soon stuck on one location. Besides the abs was a line of five runes. The heroâs mark entered her sight.
âY-y-you tricked me! This is the mark only criminals, or worse! The books I read say to away from anyone with a mark like yours. My parents also taught me to run away from such people and consider my safety first.â Lilith felt betrayed and frightened
âI am not what you think I am. Tell me, Lilith. I didnât hurt you, did I? I didnât try to take advantage of you, and I even saved you and fed you. How am I worse than the bastard keeping you locked here?â Vincent tried to make Lilith stop freaking out by showing the difference between him and Viscount Demel Blackheart.
âDidnât you want a hero to save you? Even if I came from another world, I was summoned to this world as a hero much earlier than I should have. This is why I can live without much difficulty. Thus, I am an otherworldly hero and not a criminal.â
Lilith opened her eyes wide from the shocking statement and blurted out, âY-you are w-what the books call an in-invader?â
âThatâs what the corrupt kingdom of old with corrupt nobles basterds like your fake husband that made a scam of marriage would say. After they were done with their agenda, the hero from another world became a nuisance. Thus, if a kingdom canât kill one hero, then make everyone in the world kill the hero together.â
âOhh, before I keep rambling about history, only I know this because I read the book of heroes that summoned me to this world. No one else in the world knows other than I know about this past.â
âWell, as the saying goes, the victor is the one who writes the history as they see fit.â
âNow, let me stop and ask you this. You wanted the see the proof, right?â Vincent slowly approached Lilith and grabbed her hand. Then he placed her hand on his mark. âYou can touch the proof how much you want. Be mine, and I will be yours.â He seductively said.
Lilithâs mind became filled with so many thoughts and feelings that she stopped moving. She wanted to think hard about what Vincent said, yet his hard ABS were in the way of such vital thoughts and decisions.
âLilith Lionheart, those who become my retainers and bear my mark on their bodies will get healed of any ailments like a rebirth to the perfect condition one was born to be. Your eating problem and the pregnancy problem will all go away. Even the scars on your arms.â
âAll the things making you recall bad memories will go away, and new life as my Lilith will be waiting for you.â
âPlease bear in mind that I am not trying to take advantage of your situation. I know quite well how difficult it is not to see your parents for so long. Mine passed away when I was young.â
âHowever, even if you decline, we can write a magical contract about a partnership to keep my secret. You can have your life back and sell this mansion to help your family with their money situation and live with them.â
âMaid Xu told me everything she knows, and I will make sure to kill that bastard with a dose of karma. â
Vincent said a lot of things, yet Lilith kept staring at him as if she was stuck in a daze. He cleared his throat and continued.
âAHEM, so Lilith, how about making this world your new cage instead of this mansion? At least you will have four other sisters who will share the same fate as you and me. But the final choice is yours to make and not mine. I am not in a hurry to become a noble.â
Lilith stared at Vincent for a few minutes until she nodded once. It seemed as if she made her decision and on her face wasnât a hint of fear.
Lilith didnât appear to consider Vincent as a danger. She had a faint smile instead.
Lilithâs mind was all over the place at first, but the more Vincent spoke, the more his words sounded like a melody to her ears. In the end, one thought ruled them all. âIf men of this world canât be trusted, then I will get me a man from another world.â
âThis handsome man is as I dreamed a man would be. Righteous, kind, possessing a dangerous secret only we can share, and women beg to be with him.
âAt least this sexy man from another world is telling me I am going to be his prisoner beforehand. I donât know why, but I feel like I can trust this handsome man.â
Lilith came to the conclusion of accepting Vincent. Well, other things might have helped in this life-changing decision, such as attraction.
Lilith wanted to take a chance and see if she could experience love as written in many romance novels. She got up from the chair and embraced Vincent tightly.
âTell me the honest truth, do I look disgusting with all this fat? Are you willing to treat me well? Even if I look this bad?â She asked as she hid her face against his chest.
Vincent could feel Lilith tremble. âI will treat you well, and as for how you look, I donât care. Plus, you wonât have much to worry about that. Your face is cute, and if you get healed, you will have all the time in the world to decide how you want your body to look. I wonât judge nor push you away.â
âLilith, you see, I only like people that I can trust. I never lied about you being cute. Thus, I look at a womanâs personality instead of her outer appearance, and I wonât lie to you.â
Vincent patted her head and added, âAppearance is only good for bed, and to make those who you donât care about you think a little bit differently.â
However, Vincent didnât know how much his words helped Lilith arrive at the final decision more quickly. Lilith threw the idea of signing a magical contract to keep the secret away. She wanted him now.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDo you really want me?â Lilith said with a coy tone. She sounded nervous instead of afraid or embarrassed.
âI would be happy with a beauty like you. But I am lacking, and you will be hunted with me if you become mine. Lilith, do you want me?â Vincent said his wife stealing offer.
âEven after hearing all his words... a part of me is still afraid of the future. Will he abandon me? Doesnât he find me repulsive? I want to know.â Was in her mind.
âI donât mind sharing you with others. Will you love me even with my body?â Lilith asked with a low voice.
âYes, I will make you happy.â Vincent raised his arms and embraced her as well.
Lilith felt strange, her body felt warm for some reason, as if she felt whole, and her heart fluttered unlike ever before.
Living such a miserable life made Lilith wish and dream about being saved by a knight in shining armor one day.
Lilith wasnât blind to the private guard gazes and how they always looked at Maid Xu instead of her most of the time. They looked at her with a creepy grin, a creepy smile, and sometimes a disgusting smirk.
Unknowingly to Lilith, she was suffering from anxiety attacks after ten years of suffering this way. But because she couldnât go out nor have many private guards looking at her at once, she could never figure out why she always felt uncomfortable whenever someone looked at her.
âT-then give me a preview of our f-future. â Lilith nervously stuttered. She stopped embracing Vincent and took a step back.
