Chapter 37: Hyde Enduring All Sorts of Temptations! (2)
Milione Archibald hated hypocrites.
She especially loathed those who acted kind on the surface but committed terrible deeds behind closed doors.
'Villains are better. At least they're consistent.'
That was why Milione Archibald intensely disliked Monk Hyde.
Monk Hyde, this man only spoke righteous words and tried to act accordingly.
'There's no way someone that good exists in the world, right?'
For Milione, humans were not to be trusted.
Everyone had a shady side, and she believed without a doubt that those who acted as clean as Hyde must have an even shadier side hidden beneath their thick facade.
'Come on, show me your dirty, ugly face.'
Jiggle-
Milione Archibald exposed her breasts to Hyde. As her naked flesh was revealed in the carriage air, she felt goosebumps and her nipples hardened.
'How is it? You can't take your eyes off, can you?'
Milione Archibald.
This was the second time she had exposed her skin to a man.
The first time was with Hyde possessed by Lust, and the second time was also with Hyde.
Frankly, Milione hated revealing her breasts in front of someone like Hyde.
But her desire to expose Hyde's true face and make him a laughingstock was even stronger.
She wanted to completely shatter Hyde's hypocritical mask.
'My breasts are a lewd F-cup size. According to "The Way of the Beast," F-cups are like traps that attract men's eyes. Hyde, there's no way a guy like you can look away.'
If he reached out to her breasts or couldn't resist her temptation, she would break his hand and laugh at him to her heart's content.
'And I'll win the bet with Lust. I want to know the face behind that mask. Lust, that man is the only man I truly acknowledge.'
Milione.
When she thought of Lust, her heart pounded and her lower abdomen tingled.
It felt like they had had sex.
'Come on, pounce on me. I'll twist you right off.'
Milione mocked Hyde inwardly.
But something strange happened.
Hyde didn't even glance at Milione's breasts.
Moreover, Hyde's lower body was calm, not even twitching.
'Is this bastard impotent? Or am I not attractive? Or does he really only love Psyche and not even look at other women?'
And that wasn't all.
Hyde said, "Miss, you'll catch a cold," and even took off his robe and draped it over Milione Archibald's shoulders.
'Taking off your clothes for a woman who's exposing her breasts and seducing you? What kind of guy is this?'
Milione felt her values being shaken.
Of course, the proud Milione wouldn't admit it.
'There's no way such a saintly man exists in the world! Hyde, you bastard. I'll expose your true face! Let's see if you can resist me until the end!'
The moment he touches her, she'll twist his neck.
Milione made that vow.
"My throat is dry, so the milk tastes good."
Gulp, gulp-
Milione drank the milk from the leather canteen, spilling almost half of it between her neck and cleavage.
How clumsy.
What a fool.
"Hyde, massage my feet."
Slide-
Milione now stretched her feet towards me, sitting in front of her. Her outstretched legs were white and smooth.
Of course, I coldly said, "Put your dirty feet away."
Then Milione flared up.
"Are you saying my feet are dirty? I bathe three times a day, every morning, noon, and night! It's your heart that's dirty, Hyde! Your stinky and disgusting inner thoughts!"
Milione was desperate to devour me.
Why on earth is she doing this?
Does she think a devout man like me would be distracted by Milione's white soles, slender ankles, elegantly curved calves, or her underwear peeking from inside her toned thighs?
Does she think I would even glance at the tiny white spot, smaller than a pinky nail, deep inside her thigh?
Never!
I was a devout man.
I wouldn't carelessly peek at a woman's body.
And if I accidentally touched her, she might make a fuss, saying, "Hyde, you beast! How dare you touch my body before we're even married!" and break my hand.
Milione, or rather, Wrath, would definitely do that.
Do you think I'd fall for such an obvious trap?
However-.
It was very annoying and truly heartbreaking that Milione kept seducing me like this.
"Lady Milione. I've heard that women who have been raped often become despondent, thinking they're already defiled, and start neglecting their bodies."
"What?"
"Please cherish your body. Even though you were raped by Lust, Lady Milione, you are a noble person and were born to be loved."
Actually, even the rape was a lie.
Milione, you're a virgin.
How can a virgin casually show and offer her body to a man?
Especially a woman who's the daughter of an Archbishop.
It seems Archbishop Archibald was a terrible father, even if he was an excellent priest and theologian.
My evaluation of Archbishop Archibald has dropped by about 2 points.
"I've lost my interest. You're such a boring and tedious man."
Humph!
Milione scoffed and finally turned her head completely towards the carriage window.
I was very happy that she wasn't bothering me anymore.
Time passed in that manner, and evening arrived.
Old Man, the bronze plaque knight who had been escorting Milione from Florence, said,
"Miss Mili, the Dark Forest we have to pass through is said to be haunted by the witches of Walpurgis. It would be best to stop here and camp for the night."
"Do that."
Old Man, the knight, was a man with a white beard like Guan Yu. He seemed skilled and had a refined personality befitting his age, making him quite likable to me.
Following his suggestion, we chose to camp before entering the Dark Forest.
Crackle-
The blazing flames.
The servants cooking with the ingredients generously provided by Agarphe.
Looking at the flames, I asked Milione,
"Are you really going to get married?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Didn't you criticize Psyche and me for getting married and acting lovey-dovey less than a month after meeting? But Lady Milione and I haven't even known each other for a week."
Can you marry a man you've only known for a week?
That's what I was asking.
The 200 gold coins in penalty that Archibald demanded from Agarphe.
Now that we found Selim's chest, Agarphe could afford to pay it, and there was no need for me to marry Archibald.
"That's what it means to be the daughter of an Archbishop. I marry if I'm told to, and I don't if I'm told not to. Do you think I can disobey someone as great as my father?"
Indeed.
I think I understood why Milione hated her father, Archibald.
It's quite common for PKs, children of pastors, to hate their fathers.
"So, Lady Milione, your anger towards the world is actually due to your dissatisfaction with your father. Do you hate Archbishop Archibald? Because he's a hypocrite?"
A devout pastor and a respected father.
Not many people could perfectly fulfill both roles.
That's why pastor's children sometimes become disillusioned by the discrepancy between their father's eloquent words on the pulpit and their chaotic home life, thinking, "Why is our dad like this at home when he preaches such righteous words at church?"
I've seen it a lot.
Milione Archibald seemed to be exactly like that.
"What do you know? Shut your mouth."
However, Milione got angry at me.
And this anger seemed to be the only genuine emotion Milione showed me today.
Wrath.
Come to think of it, I didn't know anything about you and didn't even try to.
You poor thing.
Now that I see it, you're a pitiful girl.
You're like a lost lamb that I need to guide to the right path.
"Tsk-."
Of course, Milione clicked her tongue.
Should I be nice to Milione from tomorrow?
Night.
I was sleeping when I felt someone choking me.
I woke up in surprise to find Milione, who had sneaked into my tent, strangling me.
What the fuck-.
"I'll summon Lust with your life. Lust, possess my body again. You possessed me when I tried to kill this man before, right? Hurry! Possess me again!"
You crazy bitch!
If this continues, I'll die!
I disguised my voice and spoke,
"Milione, your blasphemous heart has brought me into this man's body."
"Lust!"
Milione looked genuinely happy.
Had she smiled this brightly all day today?
"What's the reason you summoned me? The time I can descend into this body is only about a minute a day. So get to the point, you cunt."
"Cunt-. That's a truly chilling curse word. But it's not enough. If you were the real Lust, you would have grabbed my breasts the moment you saw me."
Suspicion flashed in Milione's eyes.
What would the real Lust have done?
Lust was a man who did things that the devout Monk Hyde wouldn't do. Indeed, if he saw a lewd F-cup woman like this, the right move would be to grab her breasts first.
"You lewd bitch, how dare you doubt me, Lust!!!!"
I reached out and grabbed Milione's breasts tightly. Her ample flesh, into which my hand sank, made the blood rush to my lower body.
But this wasn't enough.
"You dare summon me in the middle of the night?"
I lifted Lady Milione's skirt.
Then Milione screamed, "Kyaaa!", as if genuinely surprised.
Now that I see it, Milione had a very perky butt.
"N-no, not the butt…!"
Milione tried to pull down her skirt and cover her butt, and I was even more excited to see her 'shame'.
"Milione, you have a lewd duck butt! Every time you walk, this butt will wiggle from side to side, making all the men get hard!"
"Th-that's-."
I slapped her butt hard with my palm.
Slap, slap-
Her butt turned red.
"Ouch! Kyaak!"
My hand hurt more, but I felt relieved after all the trouble Milione had caused me today.
"Do you believe I'm me now, you foolish bitch!"
"I… I believe you…! You're the real Lust! It's amazing that a person can possess another person's body. Only you, the almighty, can do this."
This is crazy.
Soon, Milione said,
"Lust, I summoned you because of that man, Hyde. This hypocrite's mask won't come off. Lust, you're almighty, so you must know that man's weakness, right?"
There's no way the perfect man Hyde has a weakness.
But this was a good opportunity for me.
"Hyde, this man's weakness is that his heart melts at the smile of a pure and innocent woman. Milione, if you want to corrupt this man, act like a pure woman."
"Like that Psyche?"
Milione becoming as kind as Psyche?
Oh my, that would be wonderful.
"Yes, a pure woman like Psyche is this man Hyde's weakness."
"Okay, I'll try acting. I'm good at acting. Hyde, let's see who wins. You fool. You're bound to fall for my temptation."
Milione said that with enthusiasm.
Her face was very bright and full of zeal.
The next day.
I was surprised when I woke up in the morning.
"Lord Hyde, morning has come. Please wake up."
Someone woke me up with a very gentle voice.
When I came to my senses, a very demure Milione was looking at me.
"Lord Hyde, the morning air is lovely. Would you like to take a walk with me? The birds are singing and the flowers are blooming, it's so beautiful."
Who is this?
It was truly amazing.
Milione had undergone a complete makeover, befitting the title of "Archbishop's precious daughter"!
And I felt like I had figured out how to handle Milione!
