NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 16: Oops…
(Tesslia’s POV)
Clearly, me being sick had affected how well I thought through things. All this woman had to do was… to just ask me a question. I was forced to only speak the truth.
Though I didn’t have to speak unless I wanted to. So just as long as I keep my damn mouth shut… I should be fine. Which is a task that I have always found impossible…
This woman surely wasn’t a maid, as she just referred to Mistress by her name, and not as her lady. If so, is she a friend to Karlena, or an enemy?
Maid: “Pet… no, girl. Show me around, why don’t you?” She requested.
Tesslia: “…”
Maid: “Do not play dumb. That is a slave tag, not a pet tag. I never heard of Karlena having a rare intelligent human… so I am very interested.” She said with a laugh.
Tesslia: “This is my first time exploring, Miss. I don’t know much about this estate.” I reluctantly answer.
Maid: “I see, I see… Well, run along then.” She said, waving her hand.
This woman scared me… so I did ask she suggested for me to do. Just that… once I turned my back, the woman had gotten behind me, and she placed a blade at my neck.
Tesslia: “…”
Maid: “Silly girl… Not like it would have mattered if you didn’t listen to me, but at least we did this the easy way.” She said with a smug tone.
Tesslia: “What do you even want, sneaking into Mistresses estate like this…” I ask, unbothered by her threat.
Hey, if I die, then I die. I’ve died once, and I haven’t really gotten attached to this life or world. My only small attachment… is the very pleasurable sex that Karlena bestows on my willing mind and body.
Charta: “So fearless… My name is Charta, what’s yours?” She asked.
Tesslia: “Tesslia.” I answer.
Charta: “Hm… a pretty name for a pretty girl. If I was horny enough… I would forget my reason for being here, and take you right now.” She said with a seductive tone.
Why are these vampire women so damn horny most of the time? With their unending lives, you’d think that they would get bored with sex after a while…
Charta: “Your mistress is in the process of securing a project that I am very keen on securing for myself. To ensure the deal falls through… I want to steal her plans for it, and present them as my own.” She needlessly explained.
Tesslia: “Business problems? That isn’t a thing that concerns me, Charta. Not to mention, but I’ve only known Karlena for a few days now. She would never entrust something like that to me, and I have no idea where you could find it.” I explain in reply.
Charta: “You’re pretty smart… but why would I ask you, a human, even with your intelligence, about where to find it?” She replied.
Tesslia: “…”
Charta: “Rather than you helping me find it… you’ll make a fine hostage to get what I desire in this estate.” She said with an evil laugh.
The woman, Charta… was just like Karlena and the rest of the vampires. Ridiculously beautiful to an extreme. Her hair was red, which was unique. As all the maids had black hair, not even Seehia was an outlier.
Charta’s breasts felt nice on my back, but I didn’t really have the mindset to enjoy them. I did have a knife to my neck. Pushing me forward, Charta was surely going to look for another maid to complete the hostage situation. I hope Mistress won’t be upset with me…
