After a few minutes, Selena's rosy complexion started to co back.
"Uhm …," she grunted. Upon opening her eyes, her heart skipped a bit as she saw Clavis kissing her! 'What in the world is this man doing?! How dare he take advantage of ?!' she thought to herself. In her anger, she bit Clavis' lips hard - too hard that it bled and pushed him away after.
Clavis sighed. "Is this how you repay soone who just saved you?"
"Save ?!" Selena couldn't believe what she was hearing. "If I must know, you're taking advantage of !" Tears started to gather on the corner of her eyes. "Why do all n here try to do all sorts of nasty stuff to ? First, I was almost raped if not for Rania saving , then grabbed by an ugly and chubby old stinking man at the banquet hall, then got kissed by - well, a handso man, but still!" Her face pouted and cried as she reminisced all the bad things that happened to her. "Why am I so unlucky? Did I do sothing bad in my past life?"
Sniff … Sniff … Selena began crying.
"Ah … ," Clavis was taken aback as soon as he saw her cried. He was never good at dealing with crying people. He rolled his eyes and sighed as he touched his forehead and shook his head. Then, he stood up while wiping his lips from the blood and healing it. He grabbed Selena by her arm and made her stand in just a slight pull.
"Hey! Don't tell you want more!" Selena tried to push him away. She thought he was gonna kiss her again.
"Did you hit your head?" Clavis looked disgusted towards her. But then, raising his hand, he touched her lips and healed it - Selena bit her lips too when she bit Clavis'.
Feeling his soft hands, Selena's face flushed red. Her heart never stopped beating fast as well from the mont she woke up. Poor girl, she had zero experience with n since she grew up with her mother and studied in an all-girls school before she got caught up in all of this ss. And now, a man was just casually touching him everywhere he pleased. She didn't know how to deal with the situation, especially the fact that she just received her first kiss! Thus, the main reason for her tears. She always dread it to be with soone she loved. But all that was crushed in a matter of seconds.
"Sniff … sniff … This is the worst," were the only words she was able to utter.
"Let know when you're done crying. I'm not really good at cheering soone up".
Selena glared at him. Then, she rembered what he said a mont ago. "Wait, you said … you saved ?" Pondering about it, her mory ca back - she rembered the excruciating pain she felt, and the shortness of breath, and Clavis carrying her and teleporting to a different place. "Ah!" her face brightened, "Yes! You did save , huh?" Now puzzled, "But … why?"
Clavis rolled his eyes again. "Don't ask".
"Tsk, stingy".
"Anyway," Clavis breathed heavily, "now that you're no longer pure, you can't serve the king's harem anymore".
Selena was instantly shocked from his words. "No longer pure?" She trembled as she asked him. "W-what else did you do to ?! Tell !"
"Huh? I kissed you".
"What else?"
Clavis thought for a mont. "I carried you".
"What else?"
"That's it".
"Oh, okay. So it was just a kiss, good - wait, no! Still not good!"
"When will you stop talking to yourself? You're like a lunatic".
"If you don't have anything nice to say, shut up!," she exclaid.
"Suit yourself".
And with that, Clavis disappeared, leaving Selena alone in the flowerfield.
"Hey wait! How will I get back?" Before she finished her words, her body started disappearing as well and in the blink of an eye, she was at racus - not the Forbidden Chamber where she initially ca from.
"Phew, at least he had so decency to bring back properly. I thought he was gonna leave there".
As she turned her back and started walking towards her room, she suddenly rembered the most important thing she missed to discuss.
"Now that you're no longer pure, you CAN'T serve the king's harem anymore"
Her face grew pale upon realizing the aning of the words. "Can't serve the king's harem anymore" ant that she's already disqualified in the 'contest', as how she referred to it. And being disqualified ant that she would be given to those stinking nobles she hated. She began crying as she imagined the horrors that she would be facing moving forward.
"Be strong and take heart … sniff … sniff .... Be strong and take heart," she chanted over and over trying to encourage herself.
anwhile, Clavis travelled back to the king's office. The king was still brooding on his chair when he arrived. The king's eyes rolled over to Clavis' direction as soon as he felt his presence.
"Back so soon to taunt ?" the king greeted him.
Clavis sighed in response.
"Oh, seems like you already got what you deserve from provoking ," the king chuckled.
"Just to clear things up, it was never my intention to taunt you. I rely reminded you of your duties".
"Whatever. What do you want now?"
Clavis sighed again. "One of your candidates is now disqualified in entering your harem".
"Who? And why is that? What happened?"
"It's Selena Fidelis, forrly from the house of Pemptos, and currently residing in racus".
"Selena? I don't rember her much but she's the girl Rania saved, right?"
"Yes, that's correct. She's disqualified because she's … no longer pure".
"What?! And who dared touch one of my won?" the king was angered.
Clavis let out another sigh and shook his head. "It was ".
Instead of being angry, the king laughed so hard after hearing his confession.
"Hahahahahahahaha!", his laugh echoed in the whole room. "You? Defiled a woman? What madness is this?"
"Well, it's not really much," Clavis tried to defend himself. "I rely kissed her, not to the point that you are foolishly imagining. But if you're fine with taking in soone I already kissed, then feel free to take her. I don't really mind".
"Hahahahahaha! Co on! Tell , what happened! What ca into you that you decided to kiss a woman? Curiosity? A sudden burst of emotion? Hahahahha!"
"Ugh, please, it's not as outrageous as what you're thinking. She accidentally teleported with to the Grand Temple and she almost died. So I had to give her a fragnt of my life energy to save her. And the thod for that is via locking of the lips. I hope that clarifies your misunderstandings".
"You gave a human a fraction of your life energy?" the king looked skeptical. The idea was too scandalous for him - and for Clavis, the Wisest Judge to do it himself? No way.
"Ugh, don't ask."
"Hmf. Fine. Go do whatever you want with her. I don't want a woman who's been touched by another already. You can give her to another judge, or a general, or whoever wants her. Feel free to decide, Wise Judge," the king teased him.
Clavis thought for a mont.
'Why did she ask to save her? Is there sothing important about her? I must find out! In that case, I can ask a Judge to take her in and monitor her. But who would agree with such a ridiculous offer? Well, she is beautiful, I can try to make arrangents with the generals. If they don't agree, I can always just order a noble family to take her in. Hmmm... She's a crybaby so it should be a family composed of gentle people. That's the best I could do for her at least. I can't anger her now, she might be holding sothing important and if I do, she'll disagree to cooperate with . Hmmm … what to do?'
A mont of silence passed by.
"So, have you decided? You seed lost in thought again".
"Hmmm … ," Clavis thought again.
And finally reaching a conclusion, Clavis nodded his head.
"Yes, I've decided. I'm going to take her".
