BXBX NOVEL Chapter 269
*Sigh* “Cover your body, and let’s go.” Vincent grabbed the little girl’s hand and walked to Lilith’s room hand in hand.
A while later *Kno-kno-knock, knock* “The knight in shining armor is here.” Vincent said the code, but Sofy and the little girl looked at him weirdly.
*Click* The door opened, and an overweight woman jumped on Vincent like a tiger. He slammed on the floor and looked up after his face felt wet.
It was Lilith’s tears of happiness raining on his face. Vincent told her the code to announce a successful plan. Thus she was free from this nightmare, and her parents couldn’t get blackmailed with their daughter’s life anymore.
Lilith soon noticed the presence of an elf with a long cloth barely hiding everything and a little girl with a bright smile.
“Big lady is here. By why is big lady crying again?” The little girl asked.
“You have a lot to learn, little one. There are tears of sadness and tears of joy. Which do you think they are?” Sofy taught.
The little girl assertively stared at Lilith, getting up with a smile on her face, and then Vincent got up. The moment they hugged, the little girl answered, “Happy tears!”
.....
“Good girl.” Sofy gave the little girl a head pat.
Vincent quickly explained what happened without many specific details since a child was in their presence. However, Sofy didn’t miss the chance to introduce herself.
“I was named Sofy by Master Vincent. I will happily offer night services to my master. So I ask to become his Mistress.” Sofy respectfully bowed her head.
“No need for now!” Vincent immediately declined since he was in Lilith’s presence.
“My wives would chop my balls off if I keep getting women every corner take.” Vincent was already feeling a phantom blade down below.
The elf chuckled at the comment, but it didn’t seem like it was going to be the end of it.
Lilith wiped her tears and angrily looked at Vincent. “Anything but that! I need your balls!” It was after this heated comment that Lilith realized what she said.
Lilith averted her gaze with a bright-colored face.
[Hahaha. Lilith got angry about a joke on the family jewels. But she might have forgotten that she needs to become mutant like you to have your children.]
-You might be right but wrong. Kevin had a child somehow. That’s why I am careful before we find out the truth. There might be a way in this world.-
[Yeah. We need to find the place he died and hope to find his soul like mine. If he doesn’t become a living soul like me, I hope we can experience another vision of the past. Maybe we will see how he made the impossible.]
Vincent agreed to Kazumi’s wild guess.
“Lilith, could you help them clean their body? I gave them a body wash that makes people fall for them. We can’t leave any traces of our involvement.”
“Also, they need something to wear, as you can see. You don’t need to worry if the clothes are too big. Maid Xu can fix the problem later.”
Vincent then looked at Sofy and the little girl.
“We will then go to get the others out of the darkroom and give them clothes to wear. Ohh, and Lilith, I need the largest outfit you have for the demon too.”
Lilith looked at Vincent curiously and asked, “Are you going to save the demon? She scared me whenever I looked at her... I have never seen such injuries on a person... she endured the pain, but I don’t think I can...”
Vincent went in front of Lilith and caressed her head. “I gave her the offer of rebirth in exchange to stay by our side because of the secret. But she is the one who has to decide in the end.” He soon stopped and took a step back.
Lilith understood his words. She realized how different than the demon and she was. How Vincent asked Lilith to marry him but gave her the option to live with her family and instead of forced love. Similar to the demon, Lilith wouldn’t have heard marry me or become my woman if he didn’t need a noble title.
“Please, follow me. I have clean water saved up.” She asked the two to follow her inside.
Sofy looked around the bedroom and nodded for some reason. The little girl, however, rushed for the bed and rolled on it with a beaming smile. It looked as if she had never seen a bed before.
Sometime later, the door opened after a long wait. The little girl ran and hugged Vincent. She raised her head and gave Vincent a great scare.
“Mister, look! Do I look scary? Hehehehe.” The Little girl giggled with a face covered in bruises and cuts. However, after a further assertive gaze, it was makeup. The extensive collection of makeup Lilith has was used to fake a nightmare of a scenario.
“I did my best job yet, hehe.” Lilith chuckled with a pale white face, dry-colored lips, and a face that received too many slaps to count.
She wore a white long-sleeved nightgown with multiple red lines to make any onlooker think Lilith was attacked with a knife and changed clothes.
Furthermore, Lilith seemed to have come to terms with her past after suffering the past ten years. She made the lines around her forearms and wrists much brighter than the rest.
Beside Lilith was Sofy with a large dark dress and a whip used as a belt. Her face was also painted with impeccable movie-grade makeup.
It made Vincent and Kazumi wonder about how many times and on who Lilith practiced to reach this level of expert makeup mastery. The three before him looked as if they were coming from the set of a violent crime movie.
“So you decided to dress like victims that got rescued?” Vincent rubbed his chin and raised a smirk, “I must say this is surprising. But I hope there will be no one with the ability to look at our stats.”
“Okay, let go and give the others a scare. Did you choose clothes for the others?” Vincent remembered before the makeup made him forget.
Lilith went inside the bedroom and brought with her a couple of clothes. “I can bring some makeup, too, if you want.” She added.
Vincent grabbed the clothes and told her that there was no need. Then he walked to the underground room as if he was the master of the mansion with two women and a little girl following him, feeling reassured on every corner they took because of his presence.
The half-open metal door in the dark and damp underground room creaked open. Vincent appeared, and the oldest little girl next.
The oldest little girl ran in front of the other girls to surprise them, but she immediately realized that her scary makeup was scaring them instead. The youngest had tears welling in her eyes.
However, both soon stopped after the oldest little girl with makeup said with a cute smug smile, “Boo, hahaha. Lady Lilith painted my face. It’s better than playing with mud, haha.”
Sofy approached the three little girls and asked them to follow her. “Let’s get out of here, get cleaned with the water upstairs, and wear something like your friend.” She said while showing two oversized blouses.
Vincent went beside the little girls and bit his finger. “Girls, I don’t know what will happen once the soldiers come here, but do you want me to protect you? I don’t want you to go to another orphanage and contemplate if you are safe or not.”
The oldest little girl looked at Sofy and remembered Vincent calling her name once. “Can I stay with Sofy and have a name. I like her.” She cutely said.
Vincent gave the oldest little girl ahead pat and reassured her, “I will give you girls a name later. So. Do you want to become a part of us? You can stay together and live here in this big mansion.”
The oldest nodded, and the two others soon did the same. Vincent then touched their ownerless slave tattoo collar with his blood and became their owner.
“Go with Soft upstairs to get cleaned. I need to talk with the injured frowning lady over there.” Vincent left Sofy to take care of the rest.
The two youngest little girls nodded and grabbed Sofy’s hand. Sofy smiled and let the two little girls drag her out of the underground room.
They didn’t look too scared to walk in the dim-lit path now that the man who showed more kindness than any adult other than Sofy announced to protect them. Additionally, their eyes sparkled when they looked at the cute oversized frilly blouse in Sofy’s hands.
Moments later, Vincent, Lilith, and the demon woman remained in the room.
“You look better than before. The food should help you produce blood, but you lost too much.” Vincent pressed his finger to draw more blood and approached the demon.
“No. Stay back. No...” The demon couldn’t resist Vincent’s finger touching her slave curse tattoo and becoming her owner.
“You human... you betrayed my speck of a trust...” The demon looked depressed.
Vincent could now order her to accept everything he says or suffer excruciating pain for rejecting her owner’s orders.
Lilith approached, and she didn’t look too scared or anxious like before. Vincent was by her side, and the other person than him was the demon. She didn’t suffer from a panic attack.
