The Extra Saved the Terminally Ill Princess and Ran Away - Chapter 60

Chapter 60: Selina Cali (1)

***

"You know… I've always wondered about this, but… is it really okay for a guy to just barge into a girl's dorm room like this?"

Ian, having been led to Selina's dorm room, felt a nagging sense of impropriety. He directed his question towards the kitchen, where Selina had disappeared.

He had kept his thoughts to himself until now, but today, he felt he had to address this issue.

Selina peeked her head out from the kitchen,

"Huh? You're still hung up on that? What about that maid who lives with you?"

"Well, Cindy has been my personal maid for a long time…"

Ian's voice trailed off, his face flushing.

He scratched his cheek, trying to hide his embarrassment, and Selina's smile twitched, a flicker of annoyance in her eyes. She took a step towards him,

A homemade drink in her hand, her voice laced with a sudden anxiety.

"Ian, did something happen with that maid?"

"W-What? No… nothing…"

"You're stuttering. Something definitely happened. Tell me."

"N-No… really… nothing happened!"

"Is that so~?"

She smiled, her gaze fixed on him.

Ian averted his eyes, and she handed him the drink, as if deciding not to press the issue further.

He accepted the familiar, strangely yellow, drink, a resigned expression on his face. This ritual had become almost routine.

He took a sip, the yellow liquid flowing down his throat, and the light in his clear, bright eyes began to fade.

And then, like a toy with a missing spring, he froze, his expression blank.

" Hee hee."

Unable to contain her amusement, she caressed his cheek, repeating her earlier question.

"Ian… what happened with that maid? You promised not to hide anything from me, remember? So tell me. What happened?"

Ian's empty gaze met hers, and he spoke, his voice monotone, revealing the secret he had been trying to hide.

"…I saw Cindy naked."

"What?"

"She was changing clothes in my room…"

"Ian, do you remember what I told you?"

Her eyes narrowed, a predatory gleam in their depths. Ian's lips moved soundlessly.

"Ian."

She spoke his name, her tone like a parent scolding a child.

His lips moved slowly, repeating the words she always told him whenever he drank her concoction.

"I… shouldn't get close to… other women… except for Selina…"

"And yet, you saw that maid naked and… your heart skipped a beat, didn't it?"

"…Yes."

"Then you need to be punished, don't you, Ian?"

She closed her eyes, her lips puckered in a kiss.

Ian, his arms wrapping around her, began their familiar "punishment," a passionate kiss he had become accustomed to whenever he showed interest in another woman.

Slurp-

His tongue hesitantly entered her mouth, and hers, like a waiting serpent, twined around his, greedily devouring his essence.

Mmm. Slurp, slurp.

He had initiated the kiss, the punishment, but she was far more aggressive, her tongue exploring his mouth, her body pressing against his.

"Ian… Ian… Slurp, slurp…"

"S-Selina… mmm…"

Her skillful tongue, targeting his weaknesses,

Sent waves of pleasure through his body, a sweet, intoxicating sensation.

His hands, which had been holding her head, now fumbled at her waist, and she took his hands, guiding them to her hips, her own arms pulling him closer.

Preventing him from escaping the pleasure, the intoxicating sweetness of their kiss.

Making him crave her touch, her taste.

Slurp. Slurp. Slurp.

The sound of their passionate kiss filled the room,

A primal, almost bestial, entanglement, ending only when their mingled saliva overflowed, their breath coming in ragged gasps.

"Mmm… Hee hee… Feel good, Ian?"

"Y-Yes…"

"We could do something even better… what do you say?"

She looked at him, her eyes glazed with lust, her tongue darting out between her lips.

She was the one who seemed more aroused. She took his hand and placed it on her chest.

Or rather,

She tried to.

He pulled his hand away, resisting her touch.

"I-Ian?"

"…We can't, Selina… We're still students, and we're not even…"

"We're together, aren't we? That's all that matters."

"…No."

Grit-

Selina bit her lip, unable to contain her frustration.

No matter what she tried, what spells she cast, what potions she used, she couldn't cross that line with him.

He always resisted, his will unwavering, as if it were forbidden.

'What is he, some kind of virtuous hero?! How can he resist?!'

She had even used a potion that could turn the most virtuous woman into a wanton harlot, but it had little effect on him.

The only thing that worked was Aphrodisiac, a colorless magic spell.

And even that wasn't enough. If it weren't for the spell, he would have been completely immune to her charms. She had even considered using Enthrallment, but decided against it due to its high magic cost and long cooldown.

She hadn't wanted to use Aphrodisiac either. It consumed a massive amount of magic, and she could only use it once a week.

But she had no choice.

According to the Sword Saint, Ian was living with that promiscuous maid, despite his claims to the contrary.

It was his fault for not listening to her advice, for not sending the maid back to the servants' quarters… she thought.

That's why he had performed so poorly in the tournament, barely managing to win against that sickly Princess.

But it couldn't be helped. That maid was the biggest obstacle in her path.

That maid, who had dared to steal her man's first kiss in her previous life, was now back, her shameless face once again vying for his attention.

She had originally planned to eliminate the Princess, who was supposed to die early in the story, and that commoner swordsman who had appeared out of nowhere, but,

Now that she knew their true identities, she had changed her plans.

'The Sword Saint was that pathetic girl's attendant? How was I supposed to know?!'

And that Sword Saint was undoubtedly the reason for the Princess's miraculous recovery.

"So, she's head over heels for him…"

If Lili had shown even a sliver of affection for Ian, Selina would have killed her without hesitation.

But her affections were directed elsewhere, and with that boy around, there was no way to eliminate her without consequences. So, she decided to postpone their executions.

"In terms of pure strength… the Sword Saint seems to be even stronger than Ian…"

A mere first-year student, wielding two treasured swords, annihilating thirty demons in an instant… it was a feat even the most imaginative storytellers would scoff at.

The Sword Saint, unlike her, didn't have access to the world's memories, so it was best to consider him an anomaly, an outlier.

And Ian, thanks to his constant proximity to her, the one who possessed the memories, was also much stronger than in the original timeline… or rather, he was regaining the power he had lost when the world was reset.

"Well… it doesn't matter. They have the Secret Garden Pass now, so they'll probably be busy with… that…"

She looked at Ian, his gaze still blank and unfocused.

She reached out, her hand slowly caressing his cheek.

"Ah… my Ian… I won't let that harlot have even a piece of you…"

Her hand trailed down his cheek, stopping at his chest, her fingers tracing the firm muscles beneath his clothes.

"For that, I need those two to disappear into the Secret Garden…"

A wide smile spread across her face, revealing her pearly white teeth.

A captivating smile, almost as alluring as the Princess's, depending on one's preferences.

A single image flashed through her mind.

The maid, in her previous life, collapsing after tasting the poisoned food Selina had prepared for Ian.

Her body, contorted in agony, a sight too gruesome to describe.

Her skin covered in red, festering boils, oozing pus, her body emitting a foul stench, a grotesque and inhuman end.

Selina smirked, anticipating the pleasure of teaching that presumptuous maid another lesson.
