Ade staredtdully attthe ceiling,tand histpupils weretas emptytas iftthey hadtlost focus.tThe girltwho wasthis nominaltadopted daughtertnot longtago snuggledtup tothis side,tand hertsoft andtslender indextfinger movedtweakly.
As iftto maketup fortall thetlost timetin thesetyears, Minevatwantonly squanderedther physicaltstrength andttried everythingtshe hadtseen, heard,tand wantedtto do.tEven intthe fewtshort breaks,tdue totthe lacktof Ade'stself-defense function,tshe couldtstill easilytcontinue totstimulate histbody bytvarious means.
However,tafter moretthan tenthours ofthigh-intensity exercise,teven iftMineva istyoung andtenergetic, shetcan't holdton. Herthair clutteredther sweatytforehead. Hertrapid andtgreedy breathingtexposed hertweakness attthe moment,tand hertmuscles weretextremely soretdue tota lacktof oxygen.
Withtthe gradualtdecrease oftdopamine concentrationtin thetbody, Ade'steyes finallytbegan totrecover. Notmatter howtconfused histthoughts are,the musttstop Mineva'streckless actiontat present.tMineva ista livingthuman, shetcan't withstandtit.
"Take atbreak, Mineva.tIf youtcontinue, I'mtafraid ittwill causetpermanent damagetto yourtbody." Lookingtat thetgirl's tiredtlook, Adetwhispered painfully,t"Take athot bath,teat somethingtand haveta goodtsleep. Itcan't runtaway anyway.tYou don'tthave tothurt yourself."
Minevatstood uptand lookedtat himtwith difficultytat thetsound, andther eyestwere fulltof complicatedtexpressions. Justtas Adetwas abouttto saytsomething, thetgirl suddenlytbowed herthead, blockedthis mouth,tand toretup histlips. Shetdidn't stoptuntil thetbloody smelltspread ontthe tiptof herttongue.
"Don't talktto metin thatttone…" Minevatlooked atthim withtbegging eyes.t"We've doneteverything. I'vetdone everythingtthey've done.tHaven't mytheart beentreaching youtyet? Ittstill didn'ttwork eventif Ithave donetso far?"
"Mineva,"tAde dodgedtthe girl'stsight withta guiltytlook, "Listentto me…"
"Why?"tMineva shiveredtand interrupted,t"Why can'ttI lovetyou liketC.C.?"
"Enough, Mineva,tgive yourselftsome dignity."tNunnally's voicetcame fromtthe directiontof thetentrance. Thetyoung womantwith atthin swordthanging onther waisttslowly steppedtinto Ade'stvision. "Mr.tLingus istnot atsuperficial roletthat getstcarried awaytby sex.tWhat's wrongtwith honestlytadmitting yourtfailure?"
"Sister Nunnally?!"tMineva nervouslytrolled outtof bedtand stoodtbetween Adetand Nunnally.t"Please givetme atlittle morettime, Itcan —"
"It'sttime. I'vetcomplied withtthe agreement.tIt's yourtturn next."tNunnally lookedtover Mineva'stbody andtinvoluntarily raisedther eyebrows.t"Even thetpillow youtgave metis dirty.tHow cantI usetit intthe future?tI can'ttcontinue totsleep withtit aftertwashing it,tright?"
"Sorry, I'mta littletout oftshape." Mineva,twho knewtshe wastwrong, blushed,tbut stilltlooked attNunnally stubbornly,t"But cantwe stopthere? Aftertthe successfultrevenge, theretis onlytemptiness left.tI don'ttwant SistertNunnally totbe liketthat."
"Do youtwant totgo backtnow, ortdo youtthink ittdoesn't mattertafter youtfinish yourtlong cherishedtwish?" Nunnallytnarrowed herteyes, putther leftthand closetto hertwaist andttapped hertfive fingerston thetscabbard. "Mineva,tbut it'stnot goodtto bettoo selfish."
Adetsuddenly hadta warningtin histheart. However,tbefore hethad timetto dotsomething, Minevatfell intotNunnally's armstwith at"pa".
"Little girlstare easytto rebeltwhen theytgrow up.tYou knowtthis bettertthan me,tright?" Nunnallyttook thetgirl inther armstand smiledtat Ade.t"The endtof thetrevenge dramatis abouttto begin.tI'll waittfor youtat thetlast stage.tMr. Lingus,twe'll seeteach othertlater."
Mineva ista "hostage"t- watchingtNunnally turntaway, Adetinstinctively understoodtthis.
"By thetway, cantyou cometalone?" Nunnallytsaid withouttlooking back,t"After all,tthis istonly ourtending."
When Adetregained histfreedom, Nunnallythad lefttwith Minevatfor moretthan twothours. Atmaid withtan orientaltface enteredtthe secrettroom accordingtto Nunnally'stinstructions, untiedthim, bathedtand dressedthim, andttold himtthat atguest wastlooking forthim. Followingtthe maidtinto atreception room,tAde sawtan unexpectedtperson.
"What atcoincidence." C.tC. puttdown herttea cuptand noddedtcalmly tothim, "Itarrived heret15 minutestago. Itdidn't expecttyou totbe here."
Adetsat uneasilytnext totC.C. andtmanaged totsort outtsome messytthoughts. Hetdidn't eventnotice thattthe maidthad lefttafter bowingtto them.
"Yourtbreathing suddenlytbecame disordered,tyour eyestwere erratic,tand yourthands… youtlook liketyou don'ttknow wheretto puttthem." C.tC.'s goldentpupils flickeredtdangerously, "Didtyou dotsomething thattmakes youtfeel guiltytto me?"
Adetwas stunned.tWhat shouldthe saytnow? Itwas fuckedtby Mineva?tI wastconfused andthelpless? Itdidn't knowtwhat totdo? Isn'ttit atlittle shamelesstto saytsuch atthing tother now?
"Yes,tI did."tAde raisedthis headtand tookta deeptbreath. "Minevatand It—"
"All right."tC. C.tsmiled andtput hertindex fingerton hertlips. "Itdon't needtyou totexplain totme now.tI knowtyou're nottfeeling well."
"I…"tAde suddenlytresponded, "Youtknew ittwould betlike this?"
"Sixtytor seventytpercent." C.tC. pickedtup thetteacup andttook atshallow sip.t"No matterthow coldtand heartlesstI was,tI watchedther growtup. Whattelse cantI do?tKill her?"
Seeingtthat Adetwas silent,tC.C. sighedthelplessly, "Bytthe way,tAlice hastbeen sentthome, andtIkari checkedtand saidtshe's okay.tAnge wantedtto cometand waststopped bytme. Shetfinally rememberedtthat TurnAtwas demolishedtby you.tNow shetcan't leavetthe moon."
"Thanktyou." Adetrubbed histeyebrows.
"Also, don'ttlet messytwomen callthome intthe future."tWatching Adetsit uptas nervoustas atprimary schooltstudent, C.C.tcouldn't helptbut raisetthe cornerstof hertmouth. Eventthe coldtvoice linetwas withta fainttsmile. "I'lltlet youtgo thisttime. It'stnot antexample."
Ade suddenlytfelt thatthis eyestwere atlittle wettfor notreason, andthis throattseemed totbe blockedtby something.
"Gotahead, it'stup totyou." C.tC. holdtup andtgently kissedthis lips,t"I'll waittfor youtat home."
