Reject me, you damn woman.

Theresa's already fair face became even paler.

The only thing that could be considered a reward for her would be to let herself out, but of course Lynn Norton would never do that.

And isn’t the best reward for cats to play with them using a cat toy?

No way, you’re coming again?

Theresa subconsciously bent her legs and gripped the bed board with her toes.

"Wait, it's okay not to give a reward!"

"That's not possible. I must clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. That's my style."

Lin En moved closer and closer, reaching for his storage ring.

"Etc., etc!"

Theresa tried to back away, but soon bumped into the bed, and finally had nowhere to retreat.

Finally, the girl clenched her eyes, ready to face the torture that was to come. However, apart from the faint smell of milk at the tip of her nose, she didn't feel anything unusual. She glanced down at her white feet and found they were safe, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she looked at what was in Lin En's hand. On the palm-sized white round plate, lush red strawberries were dotted on the tempting white cream - a piece of strawberry cake?

"Just consider this as a reward for Kitty not leaving the room without permission and providing key information. You must like this very much. I saw you eat it often in the lounge area."

"But your hands don't seem to be very convenient right now. How about I feed you?"

Lynn said with a smile.

He thought Theresa would refuse quickly, so he could gain more favorability.

However, the girl's eyes were fixed on the cake and she nodded silently.

Lynn had no choice but to do as he said and put the cake into Theresa's mouth little by little.

The girl lowered her head and savored the sweetness in her mouth, when suddenly a crazy idea that she had never had before came to her mind.

This guy, maybe he's a good person?

.........

Chapter 65: Queen Mother Regrets? (4k)

Although I didn't understand which step went wrong, the beautiful girl's feeding play still felt good, even though Lin En was the one responsible for the feeding.

With Lynn's efforts, the sweet and delicious strawberry cake disappeared from the plate little by little and was sent into Theresa's mouth. However, the cooperation between the two was not very good, and Lynn's mind was not fully focused on the situation that might occur later. The spoon inevitably went a little crooked a few times and poked the girl's cheek.

Therefore, when the strawberry cake was completely eaten, some milky white fresh cream inevitably stuck to the corners of Theresa's mouth.

"Hey!"

After hesitating for a while, Theresa still couldn't do such a thing as licking with the tip of her tongue in front of Lin En, so she had to ask Lin En for help.

"Help me wipe it off."

"Ah."

Lynn hummed absentmindedly, and in the latter's shocked eyes, he reached out and cupped Theresa's cheeks, wiped the cream off the girl's cheeks with his right index finger, and put it to her lips.

I have to say that the texture of the girl’s cheeks is still very good, tender and smooth, but a little hot.

Theresa, who realized it belatedly after her face was rubbed, was shocked.

It’s fine that he rubs someone else’s face for no reason, but what does this mean now? Is he asking me to lick his hand?

Do you really treat yourself as a pet?

"Don't you have a handkerchief?"

Theresa said with a gloomy face.

"Yes, but it seems a bit wasteful. Does Miss Theresa throw away the bottle cap after drinking yogurt?"

The girl opened her mouth but didn't refute.

Well, even though she is an emotionless killer, she still has to lick the bottle cap.

Seeing Lin En eating the cream on her fingertips, she stopped feeling heartbroken. While Lin En didn't drag her into the small room, she asked about another topic that she was very concerned about:

"When are you going to let me out?"

"Let you go?"

Seeing Lin En's subtle expression, Theresa nodded as a matter of course:

"Well, our previous agreement was that you came to destroy the Magic Bell Tower's plan and prove to me that you really have the ability to fight against them. Now that I recognize you, you should also follow the agreement and let me go, right?"

Theresa observed Lynn's expression and forced a smile.

"You should know that leaving a killer outside will pose a much greater threat to the enemy than letting her hide in a small room and eat cream, hahahaha..."

Gradually, Theresa's smile disappeared.

It wasn’t because Lynn didn’t laugh along, on the contrary, it was because Lynn laughed along with her.

However, with some people, as soon as they smile, you know that someone is about to get into trouble.

Lin En certainly wouldn't let himself get into trouble, and it seemed that he was the only person in this room besides him.

"You are not planning to break the contract..."

A finger with a faint scent of cream suddenly sealed Theresa's lips.

"You are wrong, Miss Theresa. I will not go back on my words."

Lin En shook his head and made a regretful expression.

"I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. The cake is your reward for not leaving without permission, but confinement is your punishment for trying to assassinate me. But it's not over yet."

"Besides, think about it carefully, I don't think I ever promised you that I would let you go. This is all just your unilateral self-speculation."

"That is to say..."

Theresa's eyes widened.

"That is to say, for a long time to come,"

Lynn picked up on Theresa's words and said slowly:

"You can only, must, and must stay in this room. The only person you can see is me. What do you say? Is that okay?"

Lin En's fingers suddenly retracted, and he exclaimed in his heart, "That was a close call."

Because in that one second at night, Miss Theresa, who was just hesitating whether to lick the cream off her fingers, was about to ruthlessly bite off her fingers.

However, this obviously could not fully express Theresa's anger.

She stared at Lin En angrily, and the bloodiness and brutality accumulated from her career as an assassin who lived on the edge of a knife could no longer be concealed.

"Fuck you, I'm going to kill you, Lynn Norton. Don't let me get the chance, or I'll kill you with my own hands!!"

And facing her threats, Lin En was really high!

Although I don't know why Theresa was so angry and refused, and my experience value increase was not as good as when I tickled her feet just now, but finally a heroine has reached the point where she can no longer tolerate her disgust.

At this moment, Lin En finally felt that his hard work was not in vain.

This is much better than Elena and Historia, two heroines who repay kindness with enmity.

Of course, there are other reasons for deliberately locking Theresa up here besides gaining experience points.

As Theresa herself said, an assassin ally hiding in the shadows can bring more value.

But that was if she could make sure to stay in the dark.

But in fact, because of the forbidden weapon, End Bullet, Theresa had long been in the sight of many high-level arcanists in the Magic Bell Tower.

One of them was the direct cause of his father's tragedy.

In the original novel, no matter what choice Theresa makes, in all the plot lines, the two sides will inevitably fall out at some point, and she will embark on the path of resisting the Magic Bell Tower and cutting off the forbidden technique.

And now, after the annihilation of Eden College, if she was the only one who got out safely, the Magic Bell Tower would definitely not let the girl go.

In the plot lines where Theresa is not the protagonist, some of her endings are not much better than those of the villain prince himself.

However, Lin En would not tell her that he was doing this for the girl's own good.

This is the only heroine who didn’t backstab him, so he must do everything he can to keep her!

He would just close the door slowly with a blank expression in the girl's desperate and angry eyes, and then utter the classic line:

"Hate me, stupid Miss Theresa."

boom!

As the door closed, Theresa was left alone in the room again.

However, as the two were separated and the sounds of bathing and washing could be heard, after confirming that Lynn's mind was really no longer on her, the anger in Theresa's eyes melted like ice and snow.

That’s right, at the beginning, when Theresa almost bit off Lynn’s finger, she was indeed a little angry and couldn’t hold back.

But calmness has always been the most basic quality of a killer.

Therefore, the girl's mind quickly regained the ability to think.

In her interactions with this cunning prince, she has already gotten to know his character.

Simply put, Lynn is the kind of person who would never do business at a loss.

There are probably more hidden purposes behind each of his actions.

And what benefit could imprisoning himself bring him?

Theresa subconsciously reached out to touch her waist, but found nothing.

This is a habit unique to young girls.

The source of all her tragedies, the curse and nightmare that she could not escape, brought her countless bad looks, but it was also her greatest reliance on her uniqueness, the forbidden weapon Doom Bullet.

While thinking, she would silently count the remaining number of the End Bullet, which made the girl feel like she was fighting alongside her father.

But now, all her remaining end bullets were forcibly taken away by Lin En.

Damn it, that greedy thing, it took away my most precious treasure, so I might as well take away the malice and curse it brought along!

Theresa couldn't help but think viciously.

But the next moment, her expression changed.

Could it be that........

It is possible that Lin En didn't let me leave the academy in order to protect myself, and it makes sense, but why did he imprison me and not allow me to see anyone except him?

It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense at all.

Theresa fell into further thought.

What possibilities have I missed?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Recalling the way Lynn had deliberately offered to feed her strawberry cake, Theresa shook her head vigorously, as if trying to convince herself, and resolutely ruled out a possibility.

........

The next day, after getting up, he interacted with his roommate Miss Theresa as usual, then left the dormitory. When he came to the campus which had become bustling again, looking at the young beautiful girls and ordinary passers-by, Lin En felt more relaxed than ever before.

Through his own efforts, all the spikes of the Magic Clock Tower that were inserted into the school or that might affect the school seemed to have been removed by himself.

If there hadn't been the threat of that arrogant tower, the Queen Mother might not have been so obsessive in demanding that each of her offspring become a useful chess piece, and she might really have been able to enjoy a peaceful campus life.

But at least it can dispel its shadow for the time being, which is not bad.

Unfortunately, just as he entered the classroom, Lin En walked out of his fantasy time.

"Look, it's His Highness Lin En. I heard that he took first place in the test of the Master of Wonders yesterday!"

"As expected of His Highness, not only is he gifted in the arcane arts, he also has a talent for crafting rare items!"

"Is this true? I don't believe it, unless Your Highness can make me a life-size wonder that is exactly the same as his own!"

"The drooling girl above, your calculations are sparking right at my head."
