Baron Burke’s coup couldn’t be counted as a success yet. Before obtaining Earl Winissa’s status seal, anything could happen. Although Clyde stood behind Baron Burke, the Baron was unable to notice him because of his magic’s concealment effect. Without Earl Winissa’s status seal and Norma insisting on not cooperating, those over 10,000 soldiers under her wouldn’t obey Baron Burke’s orders.
“Are you truly unwilling to cooperate? Norma, don’t be stupid. Friendship has no value! As long as you hand over the Earl’s seal, I can guarantee that your power and influence will remain unchanged.”
“Impossible! I will not betray my friends. Even if you… even if you resort to violence, I won’t compromise.”
Norma’s gaze was firm. She was no gentle-natured civil officer; she was stubborn. Clyde speculated that if Baron Burke were more forceful, Norma might commit suicide by biting off her tongue. Baron Burke knew Norma’s limits well. However, he still had a sinister smile as if he had some other wicked means he had not yet used. After seeing Norma was unwilling to confess, Baron Burke took out a few packets of strange white powder from his pocket and poured it into a glass of water.
“You… what did you mix?”
“Norma, don’t worry. It’s not poison. In the past when I was indulging in some delights with Baron Thomas, I got this from that fellow. He said that it was a magical potion that can make any disobedient fellows obedient. You should be thirsty now. Drink this water!”
“That’s not… don’t come here! No…”
Norma turned pale with fright. She knew what kind of trash Baron Thomas was. On the opposite bank of Aldington River, as the former Suzerain of Antaur Town, he had opened a hotel where he had used this kind of mysterious potion to harm unknown numbers of beautiful girls. Recalling this, Norma tightly closed her little mouth, but this was a futile effort. It only increased the other party’s dark feelings.
Baron Burke skillfully pinched her nose, forcing her to open her little mouth after a minute as she gasped for air. Afterward, he tipped that glass of water into her mouth. In addition to Norma, those female officers of the magic attack unit also suffered his vicious blow. They were fed water mixed with magic potion one by one. After completing this task, Baron Burke removed their bindings and lay them on the big bed. As for himself, he picked up a glass filled with red wine, found an excellent observation position, and watched these white lambs on the bed as if he were watching a drama.
Under the effects of the potion, Norma and the others’ complexions quickly become bright red. Although these war trophies used their hands to cover their chests and tightly clamped their legs, attempting to conceal their humiliating states, they violently trembled. IThey couldn’t persist for long; their current states mirrored Sky Knight Yani\s before. Clyde concluded that the magic potion used by Baron Burke had genuinely been obtained from Baron Thomas.
“Norma, if you hand over the Earl’s seal, I will reluctantly satisfy you.”
“Who wants it? You bastard, Winissa would never…!”
“Even at this moment, you are still concerned about your friend. Norma, don’t you understand your current plight?”
Baron Burke’s face was filled with playfulness. He was determined to eat them. Norma and the others’ rationality quickly dissipated. Baron Burke stood and walked forward. But just as he was about to untie his belt, his subordinate’s voice interrupted him from outside the door.
“Lord Burke, the situation is not good. Viscount Carlisle has come to the gate with all his troops and requested to enter the city. They say that they will forcibly break the gate down if it is not opened.”
“That fellow had to come right at this time. Could it be that Sieg Pier didn’t satisfy his appetite? No matter, I just have to deceive that fool again. Norma, after I have dealt with this matter, I will come back and enjoy you. Wait here!”
Baron Burke looked somewhat annoyed. Being forced to stop as the arrow was about to be released was fatal to men. But at this moment, he could not fall out with Viscount Carlisle. After all, his current biggest backer, Marquis Charles, was also Viscount Carlisle’s backer. If he openly fell out with Viscount Carlisle, that would be tantamount to falling out with Marquis Charles, and he didn’t have such guts. Naturally, he couldn’t ignore Viscount Carlisle.
“That fellow Burke, how could you have used all those magic potions? It’s truly a waste. You didn’t need to use such a big trick!”
“You… who are you?”
After Baron Burke left, Clyde appeared, breaking the concealment state. Norma and the others were shocked to see a man appear out of thin air. When Clyde walked over to the bed, they nervously watched him. In this terrible state, it was dangerous to run into any men. If he appeared in front of them, there was a high chance that he would bully them.
“I… I’m a passing devil and a part-time flower thief! Seeing you all in such a difficult position and in need of help, I showed up.”
“De… devil!”
The expressions of Norma and the others froze. This devil was not at all crafty. He honestly laid out his true intentions: he had come to pick flowers. Norma fell in an awkward predicament and didn’t know what to say. Clyde stretched his hands and pulled Norma close to him.
“You… What do you want to do? Stop, otherwise, I’ll… I’ll…”
“Miss Norma, do you want to call over Burke to come and save you?”
When Norma was on the verge of screaming but stopped. Her current state was Baron Burke’s doing. She could only save herself. While Norma hesitated, Clyde’s petty actions hadn’t stopped. He skillfully undid the knot on her back and removed her undergarments. When she returned to her senses, she felt a chill all over her body and realized that the other party had already stripped her naked without her realizing it.
“No… no! Quickly return them!”
“These clothes are wet. Don’t you feel uncomfortable in them? Norma, take a look at this first!”
“This is… Winissa’s note!”
Like a conjuring trick, Clyde took out Earl Winissa’s handwritten letter from his storage ring and passed it to Norma. A step more and this stubborn beauty might have truly committed suicide to protect her final dignity. Seeing Winissa’s handwritten letter, Norma’s wariness towards Clyde significantly reduced. She didn’t care whether Clyde were a devil or a human, the safety of her best friend, Winissa, ranked first in her heart.
“Winissa’s Earl seal is in the study’s secret compartment. Take it to Winissa! I… I can’t hold on! I can only… wu!”
“Norma, I came here to save people. If I don’t bring you all back, how can I explain it to Winissa? Don’t worry about that magic potion. I have a special treatment method. I’ve succeeded before. Just follow my instructions!”
“This…”
Norma was incomparably embarrassed. Under Clyde’s overbearing gaze, she was unable to raise any resistance. As if her body were beyond her control, she followed this man’s wicked instructions and parted her white legs. Then, that devil lowered his head and lightly kissed her most sensitive flower. Clyde directly used the same method he had performed on Yani to help Norma and the others rid themselves of the terrifying magic potion.
A simple kiss was not enough to completely conquer it. Once this kind of thing started, it was hard to restrain himself. After his kisses and **, Norma and the others approached the edge of their peaks. Driven by their bodily instincts and subconscious, they even ignored the other party’s devil identity and actively kissed him back. Under his wicked guidance, they tasted his forbidden food, one by one. With charming expressions, they lowered their proud heads and sucked his source of evil. After Clyde finished, he enjoyed the white marks on Norma and the others’ mouths.
“Lord Clyde, you should leave now. Baron Burke could return at any time.”
“I’m going to wait for that fellow to return. At that time, I will properly resolve him! However, I need your assistance. Are you all willing to help? By the way, if you all don’t mind, call me Master!”
“We’re willing, Mas… Master. Feel free to instruct us!”
Norma and the others blushed and agreed to help Clyde killed Baron Burke. By the time they wanted to correct themselves, they felt too embarrassed to mention what they had addressed him as. According to the Light Church’s teachings, if you followed a devil, that was equivalent to offering your everything including your soul as a sacrifice. Therefore, addressing a devil as “Master” was not improper.
Baron Burke didn’t know that Clyde had successfully stolen Norma and the others. All his previous efforts and schemes had ended up as a dowry for another. In the vicinity of Ord Caste’s wall, he met with the discomposed Viscount Carlisle. Carlisle was covered in dirt as if he had run for his life and had had no time to clean up his appearance.
“Burke, you are too unrighteous: selling fake information to dig a pit for me! Sieg Pier was filled with Steinbeck Fief’s defenders. Didn’t you say that you would take care of their main force? You are truly ready to spread your wings; you even dared to lie to your superior!”
“How can that be? Steinbeck Fief’s main force is already… Lord Viscount Carlisle, I have a big gift for you. Please calm your anger and listen to my explanation!”
“Do I look like a person who likes bribes? You look down on… Eh, are you sure? Quickly take me to have a look! I always felt that that woman was not pleasing to the eye. Usually, relying on her relationship with Earl Winissa, she set herself high above the masses such as us. This time, I want to teach her what women ought to do.”
