Cheat Awakening

Chapter 421. Desperate Searching

"who are you?"

the loli dressed in a short maid outfit questioned. her gaze darted between myne and the dark-skinned, middle-aged maid, her eyes sparkling with gossip as if she'd stumbled upon a juicy secret. seeing the excitement in the loli's eyes the corner of myne's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

he could tell just by her expression that she'd already concocted a story of her own, and most likely, he was the secret lover of the dark-skinned maid who'd snuck into the house to meet him.

"sigh, i think you've misunderstood something miss. i'm not her lov..."

"oh, yes, i understand. don't worry, guys, your secret is absolutely safe with me. but i never expected piona to be attracted to younger boys. no wonder she never wants to be with master no matter how hard he tries. how could she even like that fatty if she has such a handsome man like you right here? i didn't expect you to be such a hidden player.

damn it! when will i find a good-looking man for myself?"

just as myne expected, the loli paid no heed to his denials, automatically assuming he was trying to hide their supposed secret relationship. what started as casual conversation quickly morphed into deep envy and jealousy.

clearly, she had fallen in love with myne's good looks, but with a glance at the dark-skinned maid, who was more than a decade older, she couldn't help but curse out loud before storming out of the kitchen, wiping away nonexistent tears without giving myne a chance to explain.

"what the f*ck is wrong with that loli? does she have some screws loose or something?" myne muttered in confusion. even after she disappeared from sight, he couldn't figure out what had happened or how he'd become the catalyst for a fight between two strangers who'd only met for five minutes.

"yes, she does," the dark-skinned maid, piona replied emotionlessly, perhaps mistaking myne's casual remark for a genuine question. "she's always been a troublemaker, easily getting jealous and starting fights with everyone. master has punished her many times for it, but because of her cute looks and some unknown trick, she always manages to escape trouble unscathed."

"ohh, what kind of tricks?" myne, whose curiosity was triggered by the keyword 'tricks" and its hidden meaning, asked, raising his eyebrows with genuine interest. explore stories at empire

"according to rumour, she has the skill to make any part of her body very slippery.

with her skill use, she is very good at taking the master's dick in any of her holes easily, giving him absolute pleasure, which led him to give ela small special privileges from him," because piona was fully hypnotized, there was no shame on her face, gossiping about her colleague or talking dirty, and she explained everything to myne calmly.

"a skill that makes any body part slippery?" hearing the secret of the loli maid, myne's eyes instantly lit up, his creative mind already starting to think of hundreds of possibilities to use this special skill on his girls on special occasions like the one with mana yesterday night.

under the hypnotic influence, piona provided a straightforward answer. "no, this is my first time seeing this as well, he shouldn't be here under normal circumstances."

unsatisfied with piona's answer, myne quickly approached the middle-aged guard who was on the verge of dozing off. the sudden appearance of a young boy seemingly out of thin air scared the guard to death. he dropped his spear and collapsed to the ground, eyes wide with terror.

however, before he could come back to sense and alert others, myne's – or rather, fiora's hypnotise skill took effect, turning him into a living puppet, just like piona.

"why are you guarding this room? is there a specific reason?" myne hurriedly asked, a growing sense of unease gnawing at him for some reason.

"i don't know," the now-controlled random guard replied emotionlessly. "master ordered me today to guard mistress rosewell's room and not allow anyone to enter under any circumstances."

"this didn't bode well. damn it, move aside!" myne shoved the guard out of the way and knocked on the door urgently.

bang! bang! bang!

however, there was no answer after thirty seconds of repeated knocking. ignoring any notions of privacy, myne attempted to open the door, only to find it locked. but a simple lock obviously couldn't stop him. with a snap of his fingers and a touch of psychic power, the door swung open effortlessly.

myne rushed into rosewell's bedroom. it was surprisingly luxurious, boasting a large queen-sized bed, three big windows, a bathroom, a wardrobe, a table with a chair, and a bookshelf filled with books. however, myne's concern lay not with the décor but with its occupant. as he feared most, rosewell was nowhere to be found.

unwilling to give up hope, myne dashed towards the bathroom, only to find it empty with no signs of recent use.

"dammit! where the hell is rosy? both of you, quickly tell me, do you have any idea where she could be?" myne cried out in desperation, directing his question at both the hypnotized piona and the random guard.

but they could only offer a disheartening "no," delivering a critical blow to myne, who wanted to rescue the innocent lady but now he couldn't even find her, and deep down he had hanch that it had something to do with him.

"wait! you said you haven't seen rosewell all day, right?" myne began to talk to himself rather than ask a question. "then how could she have gotten out of the house and sent me the letter without anyone noticing?" he quickly glanced at the windows, all three of which were locked from the inside, further deepening the confusion.

just as myne's brain felt overloaded, a random detail from piona's earlier statement jolted him back to awareness.

"where is the basement?"
