Free Web NovelChapter 19: She didn’t want a mere kiss
Cain noticed that dangerous aura starting to leak from Lucy’s body in an alarming way...
It was utterly overwhelming, and just looking at it was enough to strike pure terror into his heart. He quickly snapped his head back to its previous position, praying that nothing unexpected would happen. He realized she wasn’t the polite type who waits for an opponent to turn around just to stab them in the chest.
This was more than enough... his mind was entirely flooded with images of her laughing and smiling, waiting for him to look at her just to slash his throat mercilessly without an ounce of pity.
Yet, even though her words were wrapped in twists and ambiguity, Cain felt, for the very first time, a pulse of genuine hope creeping into his soul. He thought that he could actually fix everything.
He thought he had a real chance to make up for the past five years he had been absent from her and Amelia, realizing that he had truly, finally found his life with them, after leaving her to break rocks, tire herself out, and pay the heavy price of raising Amelia alone.
He was determined to try; this, after all, was the happy ending he aspired to. He felt deep in his chest that both of them were playing out a ridiculous theater piece, acting like fools in front of each other, while the stark truth said that each of them was fully aware of the secret identity of the person sitting right beside them... freёweɓnovel.com
That he was the father, and she was Lucy...
Cain continued his speech, keeping his eyes on the horizon in a warm tone,
"Good grief... that is incredibly harsh. But a woman like her is the most astonishing thing I have seen in all my lives. It’s not just because of her strength or her endurance; after all, nobody admires someone just for being strong without knowing their true essence... She is a woman unlike any other in the universe; a woman who can wrestle the entire world, conquer it, and escape to be completely free at the exact time the entire universe rejects her!"
The weight of his words fell upon Lucy’s heavy heart like a healing balm, and her pulse regained its violent vitality as if struck by a lightning bolt of electrical resuscitation! She wondered in sheer shock: ’Is he truly saying these things about me?’
But doubts quickly assaulted her again ’I hurt him yesterday... does he think I am "Maxi," and that’s why he’s uttering these beautiful words? But if he sees me now in my true identity, wouldn’t that mean he’d feel a fatal disappointment toward me because I am the one who caused his wound?’ She assumed he refused to turn toward her because he was displeased with "Maxi," but if she forced him to look at her, that displeasure would transfer directly to Lucy.
It was a complex, baffling mess tearing both their minds apart.
Suddenly, a strategic idea flashed in her mind; hadn’t she already planned to confess everything to him after finishing off his enemies? Wasn’t she thinking of stealing a kiss through which she could activate the "Heart’s Touch" technique to rip from the depths of his mind the names of those who opposed him, crushing them one by one without any complications?
Right now, they were completely alone on this deserted beach, and not a single entity was watching their movements... so what was stopping her?
Abruptly and dangerously, while Cain was completely lost in organizing a batch of other questions in his mind, her slender hand reached out to lightly and gently touch his head. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
At that exact moment, all defensive measures dissolved, and Cain’s legendary mental protection techniques collapsed entirely. Even the lineage of the "Invincible Golden King" flowing through his veins couldn’t block this sweeping mental assault from her new Truth Realm level.
⚠️ [WARNING]: The host’s consciousness is undergoing a violent invasion by an unknown energy, aiming to force the host into an undefined mental state in the system logs.
⚠️ [ALERT]: Unfortunately, the host has failed to evade or block this mental attack.
Suddenly, Cain slid into the depths of a state resembling hallucination and total detachment from reality.
His eyes were wide open, but his visual field was dyed in a bright, glaring yellow, and he felt his mind become completely distorted, emptied, and entirely incapable of perceiving any logic or concluding any truth.
He saw the waves crashing before him in impressive dances, but he couldn’t even grasp that these moving things were called waves! Everything falling within his narrow vision became his entire existence and his tiny world.
Lucy stood up on her feet on the soft sand, looking down at Cain, who had surrendered to the effect of her mental coma, his eyes staring blankly toward her without awareness. She felt a prick of guilt, but she quickly convinced herself with flimsy excuses: ’It’s fine... it’s just a fleeting kiss.’
But in a strange, impulsive manner, she found herself sitting directly on top of his hard lap.
She convinced her raging mind that this position was the perfect way for the path of the kiss to be straight and correct; if she leaned her body from her spot, her cascading white hair would intertwine with his features and ruin the whole thing!
She leaned her entire body forward, pressing her chest against his solid torso in a scene that couldn’t be explained by logic, but was rather absolute surrender to her overwhelming desire, savoring the absolute closeness to him.
She seemed to have completely forgotten about the "Heart’s Touch" technique, the enemies, or anything of the sort... She had to end this quickly before anyone blindsided them.
In fact, she could have activated the technique even without this kiss! But she drew closer and closer to his face in a dangerous, wild manner, and her lips touched his in a reckless, violent way.
In that exact split second, the mouth turned into something like a magnet, pulling her entire entity into its depths.
The taste of sweet sweetness flowed into her mouth, forcefully triggering her mind to recall the warm memories of their very first night together, making her increase the pressure of her grip.
She opened his compliant mouth, plunging into her deep kiss, before suddenly remembering her primary goal in the middle of this emotional frenzy: the "Heart’s Touch" technique.
With the flow of the technique, Lucy’s consciousness penetrated into the deepest, darkest depths of Cain’s mind.
For the first time in her life, she saw the world from his personal perspective... She saw his hidden thoughts manifesting before her eyes like a bitter movie reel, and she heard his old inner voice whispering in horrifying despair:
"An Extra... huh? In the end... I am just a marginal, extra character in the lines of that damn novel..."
Lucy’s soul froze in pure shock as she listened to the echo of these strange, cold words within Cain’s memories.
