Chapter 404 Unaware of Everything
Seki stood up and looked at herself in the mirror, running her fingers gently over her face.
She traced the curves of her neck, admiring her reflection.
"You're really beautiful, aren't you? No wonder that pig wanted you so badly," she giggled with a bitter laugh, finding the whole thing amusing.
"At least I managed to protect this body before he could do any lasting damage," she added, sounding very pleased with herself.
The voice speaking now wasn't Seki's. It belonged to Aika, the soul trapped inside the pendant.
After Seki had lost all hope and wished to escape her nightmare, Aika took over her body.
Normally, possessing a body took time, but if the host willingly gave it up, it could be done instantly without harming the original soul.
This was why, when Seki woke up, she still felt like herself. But Aika could take control of her body whenever she wanted, silently influencing thoughts from the shadows.
'If I'm being honest,' her words trailed off, 'Nobu was really a fool. I just tempted him a little, and he went crazy right away.'
'But don't worry....I'll take good care of your body. And as for going back to that place—I won't be a slave anymore. I'll make sure everyone who did this to me pays for their sins.'
Her expression darkened as she remembered what they did to her.
Once a normal girl, she had been sacrificed and was turned into a monster.
After that, she was trapped for years, so long that she could hardly remember how much time had passed.
As fate would have it, the first person she possessed was Seki, a priestess.
Aika quickly realized that her body was unique, holding a hidden power that only she could access.
This gave Aika the ability to wield more power and regained her memories.
'Those pigs must be the ones behind this," she sneered in contempt.
'To think they'd send her here, knowing I could take over her body. She's also a sacrificial pawn.... poor girl,'
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
The sudden noise jolted her, and her eyes narrowed as she glanced at the door.
He crossed his arms and leaned back.
"So, how are you?" his tone was flat, though his eyes hinted at curiosity.
"I'm fine. Just a little tired after everything."
"That's good to know. Alright, I'll go back now," Reign said, standing up.
Seki didn't expect him to turn and leave so suddenly. Instinctively, she reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Wait..." she mumbled, her voice barely above a whisper.
As she looked into his mesmerizing eyes, she felt an intense, almost magnetic pull toward him. Her heart raced as she was drawn closer.
Without fully realizing it, she leaned in, her chest brushing against his arm. The contact sent a jolt through her, and she found herself leaning even closer.
"Sunny... I like you," her voice trembled slightly as she looked up at him, hoping that her feelings would reach him.
"I see," he just nodded, his expression showing just how insignificant her confession was to him.
Even with his limited social skills, it was clear to him that she had a crush on him.
The problem was that he had never been interested in romance at all.
The only exceptions were Celine and Cyril, but even those feelings were more like a questionable obsession to him.
Seki waited, her heart racing with anticipation. The experiences she had been through had changed her, making her feel bolder and more liberated.
Slowly, she adjusted her posture, subtly leaning forward. Her clothing, revealed a bit more of her cleavage.
She noticed the effect it had on him, even if his expression remained impassive.
Little did she knew, Reign wasn't thinking about romance at all.
As he watched her ample pair, a dark thought crossed his mind.
He couldn't help but imagine how it might taste, like two huge dumpling.
Even though he was in a different body, his habit of seeing humans as food was still strong.
So, instead of feeling any affection, he felt hungry.
