Dark Fairy Tale: Will their desires be fulfilled?

The door behind him collapsed with a loud bang, and the smoke from the guns of five or six killers had not yet dissipated.

"Hey, stupid Duke, you only think about women with your legs. I won this war!" Dorudoy smiled gloomily and said to Elstin happily, "Although the Duke came all the way to save you, it's a pity, kid, since we are going to deal with the Haines family, we are of course well prepared."

He looked up at his men, seemed quite satisfied, and turned back again, "Next, as long as I take over your body and support you to become the next Duke of the North, the agreement with the church will be reached, and I will also get a seat in the church's Twelve Knights of the Round Table! So... don't blame us for being ruthless!"

The slender legs in white silk were truly marvelous. Dorudoy moved the musket from Elstin's bloodstained face to her legs, and softened his tone, "But I won't hurt you. The so-called possession is just to let 'me' become 'you'. By then, 'I' will take good care of 'my' body... Are you afraid of being possessed? Also, can't you see with your long hair covering your eyes?" The muzzle of the musket slowly lifted the hair covering his right eye.

It was already very difficult for Elstin to resist the constraints of the dream. At this moment, she had no strength to resist. She opened her left eye and looked at Dorudoi quietly, and suddenly spoke.

"How long are you going to play? How can you sleep on such a hard floor?" Elsteen slowly looked at Duke Howard who had been shot and fell, and said with some resentment, "Why don't you get rid of these annoying rats quickly?!"

Such words made Dorudoy's heart hang in the air again. Although he didn't believe it, his voice still trembled, "No... Impossible, there is no way he can wake up!"

Then, the man lying in a pool of blood and riddled with bullet holes uttered two words, "Okay..."

Chapter 15 The True Appearance of the Duke's Daughter

The solid fingertips moved, then the legs, and suddenly, as if by a spring, the whole person stood up straight from the floor, with his jet-black hair covering his eyes.

"I didn't expect that the current firearms have improved so much. Compared with a hundred years ago, they are so powerful. I was hurt..." Duke Howard seemed a little uncomfortable. He shook his head, revealing his dark red eyes. He opened his palms and saw six bullets. The bullets shot into his body.

"This is a return gift to you!" He clenched and unclenched his five fingers, and six bullets shot into the heads of the six killers at the door as fast as lightning, and they fell down together.

Duke Howard was annoyed as his muscular body was shot into a fishing net. He looked at Dorudoi with a fixed gaze, "Oh my God! What on earth are you doing? How can you make so many holes in my body? How can I conquer those ladies?"

Elstin still cursed coldly, "Then you are still playing! Pighead!"

"Princess, I will always guard you faithfully, so don't worry... These boring vegetable worms really don't know their place, but I haven't played seriously for a long time!" Duke Howard resumed his indifferent tone and slowly walked over.

"Damn it, who do you think you are talking to? Don't come over here, or I'll beat her to death!" Dorudoy's eyes turned red with anxiety. "I told you not to come over here again, or I'll really beat her to death!"

Sure enough, he stopped, frowned, and muttered to himself slowly, "Well, what should I do..."

"Pighead, hurry up, my hands hurt so much!" Elstin said impatiently.

"But, Princess, if I go forward he will kill you, right?"

"Have you forgotten our 'contract'? The contract made by our mother herself." Elstin stared at him and asked coldly. It seemed that her patience had reached its limit.

"How could that be? From the day the contract takes effect, I am no longer Miss Tina's servant, but your loyal servant. As long as it is the princess's wish, I will definitely do it. No matter what I do, I will do it."

"What nonsense are you still talking about? A man calls himself the 'servant' of his adopted daughter? You are still role-playing when you are about to die?" Dorudoy couldn't stand the two people's casual conversation anymore. He roared, his fingertips ready to pull the trigger.

"Do you want me to save you?" Duke Howard looked at Elstin and asked softly.

Elstin suddenly opened her right eye. Through her black hair, a pentagram pattern appeared in her amethyst-like eye, as if it was branded on purple glass. "I command you, come and save me!"

Duke Howard laughed. That gorgeous eye was enough to make any mysterious dream in the world fade away suddenly. It was one of the three artifacts of the Haines family:

Look directly into the mysterious eye.

Once the number of uses is exhausted, you will become a complete slave to the artifact.

The real owner of this artifact will be the family's only heir, Allen Hynes.

From the beginning to the end, this adopted daughter was just a tool to achieve the family's revival.

boom!

The gun fired at this moment, the muzzle less than a centimeter away from Elsteen's head, still emitting gunpowder smoke. However, Elsteen did not die.

Why? It's impossible to miss at such a close distance. Where's the bullet?

Dorudoy seemed to be struck by a shock and had no idea what was happening.

"Do you want to know the reason?" Duke Howard walked over gently, bent down, stretched out his palm, and a bullet was lying there. "This, you should keep it..." As he said, he threw it into his pocket, and Dorudoi seemed to have turned into wood.

"Hey, I say, give my princess back to me and don't point your musket at her." Duke Howard whispered in his ear, scaring him so much that he dropped his musket as if he had been electrocuted.

At the same time, the chains binding Elstin also disappeared.

Duke Howard looked directly at his adopted daughter, "It's over."

The magic power of Elstin's right eye is destroying the entire dream. Although the family artifact she possesses is powerful, it not only takes a long time to charge, but also consumes a lot of mental energy after use.

She began to hold her chest and gasp for breath. She looked around but couldn't find her adoptive mother. She said absentmindedly, "This game is not fun at all..."

"It's okay, we're home and your brother is still waiting for you." Duke Howard comforted.

"Wait! Wait a minute!" Dorudoi seemed to wake up, eyes wide open, "You destroyed the dream, my brain will not be able to bear it! I don't want to die here, so please hire me as your bodyguard! Even if I am just a dog in your mansion! I will pay you five times, no, ten times the money, please let me go!"

Duke Howard looked back at him, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Unfortunately, I don't like to negotiate deals with humans, because..." He paused, and pointed his hand with complicated spells inscribed on it in mid-air at Dorudoi, "I am a duke, and also a devil."

"Until the day when the princess's 'contract' becomes invalid, I will be her valued subordinate. Because of this agreement, I must obey her orders!" Duke Howard smiled extremely strangely, and a pentagram pattern was engraved on the back of his hand where the spell emerged.

"What a pity, the game is about to end." Elstin looked back at Dorudoy and said with some regret.

Dorudoi suddenly felt an invisible hand strangling his throat. He twisted in pain on the ground. While he was struggling, Duke Howard had already brought Elstin out of the collapsing dream.

Where on earth am I?

Feeling her body shaking, Elstin slowly opened her eyes and found herself in the arms of her adoptive mother. Her adoptive father, who had just fought a big battle, was nowhere to be seen.

"Are you awake, my lovely daughter?" Tina said softly.

"Where's my father?" Elstin wanted to get up, but found her whole body limp. She thought this must be a side effect of using the artifact.

"You're talking about him." Tina pouted her lips painted with purple lipstick and said disdainfully, "He must have gone back to the mansion to find his mistress first!"

"Miss, you're back!" The old nanny came over and looked at the weak Elstin curiously.

"It's just a fall, no big deal." Elstin covered it up.

However, the old lady still looked at her with her big eyes.

"Why, you don't believe what I say?"

"No..." The old lady shook her head and laughed, "It's just that it's so romantic for the young lady to be held in the arms of the lady, just like playing a game of tossing high, hehe."

Suddenly, Elstin's face turned red, and she used all her remaining strength to jump out of Tina's arms. Just as she was about to walk into the house, she saw her brother-in-law who had been waiting for a long time running towards her.

"Sister, you look so bad. Are you feeling unwell? Then let me take care of you!" Allen said with great concern, holding a rather strange-looking book in his hand.

Elstin was about to refuse, but she heard her adoptive mother's firm voice, "What does it matter? It just so happens that you two siblings need to get along well. I heard from the old lady that you two have been having some unpleasant experiences recently."

Elstin had a blank expression on her face. She turned around and walked straight up the stairs. From a distance, she said, "Well, okay..."

The clouds in the sky gradually fade away, and night is about to fall.

Chapter 16 Preparation for Hypnosis

The next day.

Allen read the newspaper while eating breakfast, and read aloud what he found interesting.

"It's really strange. After the banquet, the family's vassal, Viscount Dorudoy, ​​and his only son both suffered a stroke and are now lying unconscious in bed. The famous social critic Miss Mockingbird believes that they were mysteriously attacked."

"He must have offended someone," the old lady guessed.

"It must be! I heard from the survivors that they were attacked by 'monsters' and 'demons', and they were all sent to the hospital!" Allen agreed. He was now in a period of strong interest in mysterious events.

"Oh my God! How terrible!" The old lady drank half a mouthful of milk, swallowed it and spit it out.

"I heard that Viscount Dorudoy made a lot of dirty money by going against his conscience. It must be that the wronged souls of those people came to seek revenge on him, right?"

......

"What are you talking about? You look so excited?" Elstin came over at some point. The black dress with intricate patterns made her figure look taller and slimmer. Her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail with a red ribbon.

She picked up the newspaper on the table, looked at the most eye-catching news, just curled her lips slightly, and then threw it away.

"Ah, what kind of tea should I drink this morning?"

What a troublesome day...

After breakfast, Elstin kept holding her chin and staring out the window at the gloomy sky in a daze.

"Stinky sister, you look much better today. Hehe, was my care good last night?" Allen pushed the door open and walked in with a smile, holding the book he brought out from the big library in his hand.

Elstin's eyes turned slightly, she was bored, "You mean the old lullaby you sang last night? Excuse me, your singing voice is only slightly better than the crows outside. You have nothing to do all day, studying the book in your hand all day... Why is your life so boring?"

Having said that, since she came back, this brother seemed to have changed his nature. She thought that the "care" he mentioned last night would mean touching her while she was sleeping, so she specially cast a "frost spell" to cover her whole body. As long as this restless guy had the slightest ill intention and dared to touch her body, he would be frozen by the cold.

As a result, when she woke up the next day, there was no sign that the "Frost Spell" had been triggered, and her stockings and bra in the bedroom were intact, without any suspicious liquid on them.

In short, her brother who had always coveted her body was actually singing a lullaby to her obediently last night without making any unnecessary movements.

This was indeed beyond her expectations.

"Little sister, in order to allow you to recover your former spirit as soon as possible and fulfill your duties as the heir to the Duke, I have specially learned hypnosis this time! It can completely relax your body and mind, and it is hundreds of times more effective than a full body massage!" Allen said confidently.

"You should call me onee-sama!" Elstin corrected unhappily, then exhaled softly, "I have heard of hypnosis and related theories. Most of them are applied in psychology to treat patients with severe mental illness, but in fact, it is just a placebo."

Allen disagreed and said confidently, "I tried hypnotizing myself before. When I was in boring classes, I remembered the information conveyed by the teacher in class, just like simple arithmetic problems. Every word they said would be stored in my mind. Then when it was time for the exam, I just needed to put myself back into the hypnotic trance, and then it was time to perform! It felt like a perfect and comprehensive recall, and the effect was even better. This way I don't have to spend all my time studying, it's that simple."

In order to prove that what he said was true, Allen took out the transcript he had prepared long ago, which clearly showed an A grade on it.

"You didn't cheat?" Elstin thought for a while and then spoke.

"I swear on the name of my family, I definitely didn't cheat! This is all thanks to hypnosis!" Allen said confidently, "And there's no harm in giving it a try. If it really works, then you can spend the time you spend on studying on how to handle the affairs of the Duke's Mansion? Then mother will definitely look at you with new eyes, right?"

Seeing that the stinky sister suddenly fell silent, such psychological defense was also expected by Allen. He pretended to be indifferent and used the method of provoking quietly, "Just pretend you didn't hear what I said just now, but... well, hypnotizing others requires trust. What I mean is that when you are hypnotized and lose your self-awareness and enter a trance state, everything about yourself will be completely open to me. Will you worry that I will deliberately ask you to do something bad, such as taking off your clothes in front of me?"

——My foolish brother, I am not questioning the existence and effectiveness of hypnosis, but how can you, who are useless, hypnotize me, who possesses the Sequence Twelve Dancer?

Elstin thought with disdain in her heart that unlike her useless brother who did nothing all day long, her time was very precious. She had to be loyal to the family for every minute and every second and establish her unshakable position as the heir to the family. She would not waste her time on other things.

Just when she was about to reject Allen with sharp words, a dark color suddenly flashed in her purple eyes.

Hypnosis? If used elsewhere...it seems quite interesting.

"Well, it seems that the sister has to save the hopeless brother." Elstin pretended to hesitate for a while, but finally agreed.

--Perfect!

Allen thought to himself, the smile on his face becoming even brighter.

At eight o'clock in the evening, after dealing with a series of trivial matters, Allen met Elstin in the library as agreed. He was originally worried about running into his father and the nun mistress, but fortunately, he did not see them close together, so they might have had sex somewhere else.

He had booked a reading room on the third floor from the security guard in advance, and he was sure that he could perform hypnosis there without being disturbed.

The Great Library is a restricted area in the Duke's mansion. The key is only in the Duke's hands, and it is difficult for others to enter privately.

Allen was the first to arrive here. He arranged the room according to the plan, placed the chairs in the correct positions, adjusted the reading light to the appropriate brightness, and then plugged in the small tape recorder he brought with him.

The stage has been set up and the script has been memorized in advance. The only things missing now are the actors who are going to go on stage.

Elstin arrived late, and it seemed that she was not fully recovered yet and had to deal with the complicated official business of the Duke's Mansion. She seemed overwhelmed and had a trace of fatigue on her face.

She was wearing her usual clothes, but after finishing her government affairs, she took off her conservative black dress and changed into tight jeans, a white tank top and black flat shoes.

The black-haired girl seemed to be in a good mood, although she was more unpredictable than usual, especially the faint smile lines at the corners of her lips, like a trader who was sure to win.

It was obvious that she scoffed at the hypnosis her brother mentioned. She just wanted to see the next joke and then ridicule him, making him feel ashamed and completely submit to her.

Seeing her expression, Allen couldn't help but chuckle. He was so lucky that his little sister only knew this much.

Chapter 17 Getting Better

Ten minutes after the hour, Elstin appeared in the library. After entering the room, she threw her coat on the back of the chair and said:

"Sorry, I met mother on the way here. Normally we would go out to see the opera at this time, but I told her that she had some important study tasks to do. After all, as the saying goes, career comes first and enjoyment comes later. So how do we start?" Elstin said as she twisted a lock of beautiful black hair around her finger and looked around at the tall bookshelves.

"We're going to start with you sitting in this chair, right here, facing me."

Elstin sat down in her designated chair and said to Allen, "This weird atmosphere... is more tense than I thought. I really need to think about preparing myself mentally."

"Okay." Allen dimmed the lights, knelt down, turned on the recorder, and sat opposite Elstin. He prayed with hope that he would succeed, and then began hypnosis.

"Okay, little sister, now I want you to relax. There's no need to be nervous. Just sit still and relax. I'm not going to do anything contrived like some cultist waving a pocket watch or crystal in front of you. That's just to get the subject to focus on the hypnotist. I just want you to sit here and relax calmly... That's it... Just do it and inhale... exhale... inhale... exhale... Great, that's it, see how simple it is? Now you're in a slight trance."

"Me? But... I don't feel like there's anything different about myself now. You must be mistaken, Allen. I feel like everything is normal now." Elstin blinked in confusion.

Allen smiled and replied, "I understand, but I also said it was just a slight trance. Your consciousness hasn't gone deep yet. Being hypnotized doesn't mean you will become like a zombie or something, it just means your attention will be more focused, and your ability to concentrate will also be improved. Now let's go a little deeper. I want you to sit down and relax again. Don't say anything, just listen to my words and relax... Focus on your breathing, focus on every gentle breath and the inhalation of air... and exhalation... Then inhale again... exhale... inhale... exhale... keep inhaling and exhaling... Very good, you did a great job, stinky sister. Now as you get more and more... When you focus on your breathing, you will find that you pay less and less attention to other things... You don’t notice that your palms are beginning to relax... Your fingers are also beginning to relax... Gently spread out... Yes... That’s it... You don’t notice that your whole body is now very, very relaxed... All the muscles in your body are relaxing... Now your whole body has become completely calm... Except for your lungs... You are still inhaling and exhaling air... Yes, very good, very good, stinky sister, you are doing very well... Now you only know to relax... Inhale... Exhale... Inhale... Exhale... Inhale... Exhale... Inhale... Exhale... Inhale... Exhale... "

Elstin sighed softly, and her breathing indeed slowed down in line with the pace of Allen's speech. As for her body... although she could still feel it, it seemed to have become lighter than air, as if her whole body was made of cotton.

She didn't feel like she was being hypnotized, but she did feel something strange. In fact, Elstin felt that she was feeling really good... so warm... and very relaxed.

She had never noticed before that Allen's voice was so nice. It sounded so comfortable...

"...You don't have to close your eyes. Of course, if you want, you can try to relax your eyelids... relax... just like you relax other parts of your body... you can close them together. Let your consciousness wander freely... relax... go deeper... and continue to listen to my words. If you really want to do this, then close your eyes... I know you are very tired now, and it takes a lot of energy to keep your eyes open. You may want to close them very much now... Now you feel that it feels very good to close your eyes, even if it is only for a short while..." As Allen hypnotized her, Elstin's eyelids trembled and closed together.
