Chapter 116
#Episode 116
The first thing that caught my eye when I sat in the chair were the ten potions placed on the table.
Jormungandr wore a relaxed expression, resting her chin on her hand as she spoke to me.
“Go ahead and drink them as you wish.”
“Understood.”
“Oh my, you don’t refuse even though it’s something this lady is giving you.”
“I’m a Monarch who knows the value of life, after all.”
A deep smile curved across Jormungandr’s lips.
Perhaps she liked my attitude of not offering empty flattery.
I wondered if I might sense something from the potions, but there was nothing like that at all.
I reluctantly downed the potions in the order they were placed.
Despite being someone who doesn’t get drunk on alcohol, my consciousness became hazy as if intoxicated by strong liquor.
I hurriedly grabbed the bottle next to me and downed it.
“Kekeke, how refreshing to see a man drink so boldly!”
Having consumed this much, I could instinctively feel it.
These things – if consumed carelessly, they were deadly poisons that would kill even me, but if taken one by one in the proper order and quantity, they became miraculous elixirs of ages past.
I didn’t know why Jormungandr was showing me such kindness, but for now I urgently drank the next poison.
“Huff… huff… I’ve… I’ve finished them all.”
“Excellent, to think you’re still alive after emptying all those potent substances.”
Jormungandr approached me with a relaxed smile.
Then she supported the back of my swaying head and looked at me with loving eyes.
“Truly, you are overflowing with the qualities of a king. To be so bold and clever.”
Then she carefully pressed her lips against mine.
A sweetness like all the world’s fruits combined and lips softer than microfiber blankets scrambled my thoughts completely.
A moment later, she withdrew her darting tongue and sat before me with a shy smile.
Covering her lips with a relaxed smile, she placed my kneeling form on her lap.
“As expected of a Monarch, quite passionate.”
My body was burning like mad.
Heat was radiating from my entire body, and I felt like my blood was boiling violently.
My heart raced at an insane speed, and my head felt like it would burst as black blood flowed from my eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
Jormungandr embraced my head, becoming covered in blood herself while continuing to stroke my head.
“Endure just a little longer, butterflies that bloom are meant to suffer.”
My body trembled madly.
Black, thin blood poured out profusely as new blood began surging throughout my entire body.
Along with the sensation of my body being readjusted, a complete physical transformation took place.
Eventually, after my body underwent a complete metamorphosis starting from the skin, the fever subsided much later and I could finally regain my senses.
“Gasp… gasp…”
“Are you finally coming to your senses?”
Now I could see a graceful beauty with snow-white hair looking down at me.
As drowsiness hit me like crazy, I used her thigh as a pillow and fell back into unconsciousness like sleep.
“What a spoiled child.”
* * *
When I regained consciousness, there were several mysterious lip marks on my cheeks and forehead.
“…I greet you belatedly. I am Cha Hyeon-su, the Soul Sovereign.”
“Yes, this lady is Jormungandr, the serpent that encircles the world. You may specially call me Yor.”
“…Could you please move aside for now?”
“I firmly refuse. This lady has taken quite a liking to you.”
When I regained consciousness, I was on a large bed with Jormungandr embracing me in my arms.
It was a scene that would make Yeo-ul or Rey extremely angry and rush at us if they saw it.
A subtly sweet scent wafted over.
The allure was so sweet that for just a brief moment, I thought it might be fine to live like this forever.
Of course, it was only a fleeting thought.
I shook off her grasp and got up from my position.
My entire body was soaked with my own blood.
“You embraced this lady so passionately, yet now you want to abandon me after having your fill. Sob, how sad.”
“You know that never happened.”
“Hohoho… do you really think so? The one who took this lady’s first…”
“As if.”
“Kuhuhuhu, you really can’t be fooled.”
With a single gesture from Jormungandr, all the blood on the bed and my body completely disappeared.
She rummaged through her belongings and handed me a transparent potion.
Inside it was a beautifully iridescent liquid that sparkled as if made from ground stars.
“Finally, drink that.”
I could instinctively tell this was something that would stabilize my body.
Though I had many questions, I downed it first to survive.
Countless additional functions were listed as well, and I felt like my body and soul had completely blossomed.
Feeling like I had received a procedure that couldn’t be done even for billions of gold, I moved my body lightly and stood before her.
Jormungandr still smiled brightly as she took my hand and pressed it against her cheek.
“What’s wrong? My companion who has come to me after 25,321 years and 231 days?”
“Who decided I was your companion?”
“If you prepared meals and shared a bed, what else would you be but a companion?”
“…You find it fun to tease me, don’t you?”
“Hehehe, was I found out? How cute.”
Jormungandr rose from her seat, kissed my cheek, and reclined on the crescent-shaped chair.
Showing off her dizzying leg lines, she took out a long pipe from her bosom and smoked star powder like tobacco.
Strange aurora rose like smoke.
A chair appeared as if telling me to sit beside her.
I obediently sat next to her for now.
“Phew… It’s true that you’ve caught Lady’s fancy. You passed all of Lady’s tests, so it’s only natural.”
“Just because of that, you like me enough to do this?”
“As if. Don’t make Lady out to be such a loose woman, you’re the first. Or could it be you’re already jealous? A husband managing his wife already, quite possessive…”
“Sigh.”
When I openly sighed, Jormungandr giggled.
“You’re probably the only one in the entire universe who would treat Lady this way.”
“Then why do you like me? I have too many memories of almost being betrayed.”
Honey traps in particular were tiresome.
Moreover, since I was already surrounded by many beauties, ordinary honey traps didn’t work well on me.
“Your face was my type. Your boldness pleased me. You’re cunning but clever, which was thrilling, and your strength in enduring all that poison and your pure soul stirred my maternal instincts, and the strong character completed through painstaking effort made Lady’s heart ache.”
My face grew hot as I listened to her words.
I cleared my throat unnecessarily and asked.
“Enduring poison… wasn’t it fine if you ate them in order?”
“As if. Without a body capable of enduring it, you’d die from the deadly poison before even touching the next one.”
“….”
“Don’t look at me like that, it was all for your sake.”
Her gaze as she subtly exposed her chest and looked up at me was so lethal that I had to grit my teeth to endure it, so I turned my head away from the start.
Then Jormungandr appeared there.
“Where are you looking? When such a beautiful companion is by your side. Even looking for 365 days wouldn’t be enough.”
“C-companion? I have someone I’m going to marry, so it’s impossible.”
“You mean that child who became a summoned creature? Or the child from the island nation?”
“…Either way.”
Surprisingly sincere in her affection, Jormungandr stared intently into my eyes.
“Even so, Lady sees room to squeeze in.”
“A-ahem! Ahem!”
“Just because there’s a goalkeeper doesn’t mean goals don’t go in, right?”
“Where did you learn to say things like that?”
“From inside your head.”
“…Just because a goal goes in doesn’t mean the goalkeeper changes.”
I endured the instinct to immediately embrace Jormungandr, biting my lips to bear it.
I barely endured it by promising myself I’d embrace Yeo-ul fully when I returned.
Jormungandr found even that amusing and smiled seductively before sticking close to my side.
“Well, it’s fine. Even if it’s just while you’re here, please be my companion.”
Jormungandr took my left hand and wrote her name on my ring finger.
Of course, with my current abilities, I couldn’t read her true name.
“Lady will write her true name here. If you ever think of Lady, hold this place and fall asleep, and I’ll appear in your dreams.”
“Don’t do such excel— I mean, wicked things.”
“Well, what can you do? I’ve already written it.”
Giggling as she leaned her face against my chest, she poked at me playfully.
Since it was really the kind of behavior lovers would do, I had no choice but to stroke her head.
Seeming quite pleased with my touch, Jormungandr hummed happily and hugged me even tighter.
After all, it was an undeniable fact that she had made me stronger.
“So, you’re probably not really fallen for me, so what’s the real reason you’re being so good to me?”
“I swear on my existence that it’s not a lie? Lady has truly fallen for your Monarch-like qualities.”
“Ugh…”
When she spoke so seriously with that expression, even my heart ached.
I cleared my throat unnecessarily and continued stroking her head.
“So what do you want from me that you’re doing all this?”
“What I want…”
After thinking for a moment, Jormungandr grinned and kissed my cheek once more.
“Won’t you live here with Lady forever…”
“Your Excellency, something else.”
“Hmm… Then, though I don’t know if you’ll be able to achieve it.”
The pondering Jormungandr buried her face in my chest.
Taking a deep breath of my scent, she looked up at me and said.
“Someday, take me out of this tiresome space. And when that time comes… make me your companion…”
Before Jormungandr could finish her words, my vision began to fill with darkness.
[Your teasing has gone too far.]
“It wasn’t teasing, I was serious.”
[Of course, that would be the case.]
“I told you I was serious. Don’t make Lady angry.”
With Senior’s voice as the final words, I returned to the real world once again.
