Lackey's Seducing Survival Odyssey

Chapter 1750: That function is not included in my current hardware configuration.

Young Aether felt as though he had achieved the third degree of manhood as sweat poured down his face like bullets. His hands, which had been gently comforting Sasha, froze midway through the motion while his trembling eyes locked onto the woman standing at the doorway.

She held a bloody kitchen knife in one hand, fresh crimson droplets slowly sliding down the blade before running over her fingers wrapped tightly around the hilt.

Sasha continued crying as though nothing had happened, remaining in his embrace while dressed in nothing but her underwear, completely unaware of the terrifying atmosphere that had descended upon the room.

Maiuri silently stared at Young Aether before shifting her gaze toward the nearly naked Sasha. Her expression never changed, yet the coldness in her eyes made it painfully obvious that she had already reached her own conclusion.

Grip.

The tightening of her fingers around the knife echoed through the room, the faint creak of the handle somehow louder than the crying sound.

Young Aether immediately raised both hands in surrender.

“T-This… this isn’t what it looks like!” he blurted out, desperately trying to explain himself.

Yet the icy stare Maiuri gave him made every word die in his throat before it could leave his mouth.

‘Come on! I didn’t even fuck anyone! Then why the hell do I feel like I’m the guilty one here?’ he complained inwardly, forcing himself not to panic as Maiuri slowly walked toward him.

Each measured step she took left another drop of fresh blood on the wooden floor, forming a thick crimson trail behind her.

As she stopped before them, her grip around the knife tightened even further while her emotionless eyes bore straight into Young Aether’s soul.

“…”

Young Aether was absolutely convinced that a bloodbath was about to begin.

Instead, Maiuri casually reached out with her free hand, grabbed Sasha by the back of her neck as though she were picking up a troublesome kitten, and effortlessly lifted her away from Young Aether.

Young Aether could not hide his surprise. Sasha wasn’t exactly light, yet Maiuri raised her with only one hand without the slightest strain.

The sudden loss of warmth made Sasha flinch. She blinked in confusion before turning her head toward the person who had interrupted her.

The moment she recognised Maiuri…

Her face instantly turned pale.

“What are you doing here?” Maiuri asked in a calm but frighteningly cold voice. “You’ll catch a cold running around half naked. Get out.”

Without waiting for an answer, she tossed Sasha outside as casually as someone throwing a stray cat out of the house.

Sasha landed on her butt with a soft thud.

She blinked several times, still trying to process what had just happened. Then her expression twisted into annoyance as she realised she had lost the chance to continue enjoying something delicious.

Grumbling under her breath, she slowly walked away.

Meanwhile, inside the room, silence returned.

Young Aether and Maiuri simply stared at one another.

Young Aether didn’t dare say another word. His eyes never left the bloody kitchen knife resting in Maiuri’s hand. The moment she made even the slightest suspicious movement, he was fully prepared to run for his life.

For a brief moment, however, his brows furrowed as though he had sensed something outside the room. A faint, almost playful smile tugged at the corner of his lips before vanishing just as quickly, his attention returning entirely to Maiuri.

Maiuri continued watching him in silence before finally speaking.

“Get some rest first. You’re wounded… and we don’t want to make our beloved worry, do we?”

Young Aether quietly nodded before lying back on the bed. Even then, his eyes never wandered away from the knife she still held.

Maiuri turned toward the door.

Just as she reached it, she suddenly stopped.

Without turning around immediately, she remained silent for a moment before glancing back over her shoulder.

“Did you…” she asked quietly, her voice barely above a whisper, “force her?”

“…”

Young Aether fell silent.

Not because he felt guilty.

Rather…

He had actually considered taking advantage of the misunderstanding instead of hiding it!

Unlike Jonathan, Maiuri might be the right person to tell the truth to.

After all…

A woman could understand another woman.

That’s universal biased law!

Noticing his silence, Maiuri assumed he had done the deed. Her face twisted into an even deeper look of disgust.
