Chapter 74
Chapter 74: Have You Ever Loved Me?
Sivey didn’t know that shortly after he and Lori left Zoe’s room, the nightmare imprint, which should have taken a break, immediately launched its final attack on Zoe.
This time, the attack became even more fierce, already giving it its all.
Failing to break this girl’s will twice in a row, the presence behind the nightmare imprint seemed to have become impatient, even wondering if the nightmare imprint was broken.
It felt like something was helping this girl. What was originally a good situation turned sour, yet this girl could repeatedly defeat the nightmares in her heart time and time again.
But it didn’t know what was helping this girl, so naturally, it couldn’t do anything about it.
Because it couldn’t see everything in the dream, nor could it control the dream.
Everything in the dream originated from the girl’s weakest point in her heart, which could be a thing or a person. The development of the nightmare was also based on the girl’s shaping of events in her mind.
It could only provide energy to generate dreams for the nightmare imprint and guide the girl’s shaping of events in a direction she didn’t want to experience.
In fact, as a tool for creating nightmares, the nightmare imprint had already been very diligent.
In the first round of nightmares, it used the cowardice in this girl’s heart, combined with the memories deep in her heart, to create one terrifying nightmare after another that made her powerless.
But this originally weak girl somehow found the courage, saw through the facade of fear, and alone, with a sword, killed the Imperial Army in the nightmare, causing mountains of corpses and shaking the earth.
In the second round of nightmares, it found the man who left the deepest impression on the girl in her mind.
They kept meeting in a peaceful and tranquil town until they fell in love, and when the two reached the peak of their emotions, he was brutally crushed into a pile of flesh.
The way to break this dream was to kill the man she deeply loved.
But there was no weapon in the whole town that could kill anyone.
This girl was already gradually becoming addicted to the dream, from falling in love at the beginning to losing her partner in pain, her emotions gradually becoming numb.
In theory, she should have fallen into despair, gradually sinking into the dream unable to distinguish reality.
But somehow she realized what was going on, saw through the truth, and endured the pain in her heart to kill her lover.
Now it was the third round of nightmares.
The presence behind the imprint would invest more energy, trying to let the girl construct a more realistic and cruel dream under the influence of the nightmare imprint.
It wanted to destroy this girl’s faith, no matter what was helping her, it had to make her collapse, make her soul completely sink!
Only in this way could it obtain the slightest divinity from this girl without any loss.
…
The setting sun fell into the bright starry sky.
The late winter suddenly darkened, and the mountains and rivers became dim.
In the room, Zoe, with a pale face, slowly opened her eyes.
A warm and comfortable feeling came over her.
She found herself lying on the familiar velvet bed.
What met her eyes was the luxurious crystal chandelier overhead.
Zoe looked around.
The tidy room, exquisite furniture, gorgeous fur carpet, were all the same as what she saw when she first woke up.
“… Is it over?”
Zoe murmured to herself, feeling somewhat hesitant.
Was the endlessly repeating nightmare really over?
Or, was everything before her a new nightmare?
Click—
The door of the room was opened, and Zoe glanced sideways slightly.
A familiar man walked in.
With deep blue eyes, golden scattered hair, and gentle eyes.
Zoe suddenly felt like crying.
“You’re awake? How do you feel? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?”
Sivey came to Zoe’s bedside, looking at her with concern and asked.
Zoe looked softly at the man and shook her head gently.
“You’ve been unconscious for a whole day. I brought you over from Dawn Town.”
“Those outsiders tried many ways to cure you but eventually had to turn to me.”
“I happen to have some rather ancient curiosities here that have some effect on you.”
So that’s how it is, Zoe thought sweetly upon hearing this.
She knew that perhaps this time she had really escaped from those terrible nightmares.
She was able to maintain herself in the nightmare, break free from its constraints, all because she felt a very warm and kind aura.
These auras had also turned into a Longsword and a short sword by her side.
It was because of him.
But for some reason, now that she woke up, she couldn’t feel that warm and kind aura anymore.
That curiosity must be something very precious. For him to save her, he must have spared no effort.
“I’m sorry… to trouble you…”
Zoe hadn’t finished speaking before Sivey stuffed an unknown fruit into her mouth.
She took a light bite, and the sweet juice filled her mouth, so sweet that it dripped honey into her heart.
“Actually, the first time I went to Dawn Town, I saw you. You’re really beautiful, and I was very fond of you then.”
Sivey looked at the girl on the bed with gentle eyes, his voice sincere and pleasant, as if telling a story of a prince meeting a princess.
“But as you know, the outsiders with you killed the mayor of my territory.”
“If I don’t punish them, won’t they disrespect me?”
Zoe felt a bit embarrassed at his words. She turned her head uncomfortably, refusing to look at the man sitting by her bed, and hesitantly asked:
“Then… What about the second time? You… you still… intentionally didn’t explain clearly in the contract…”
“And… and you were still… in my room…”
Zoe couldn’t continue, scenes from back then floated in her mind, and the subsequent changes in her body. She blushed, even the fair skin on her body turned a faint rose color.
Although in the nightmare, she and Sivey knew each other and fell in love, even did everything together, it wasn’t real after all. Now she was facing the real Sivey.
“The second time, haha,” Sivey laughed heartily, looking very happy. He couldn’t help but say:
“The second time, I was teasing you on purpose. Although I said I would collect taxes from you in Dawn Town, I never came to collect.”
“And,” he paused for a moment, then suddenly leaned down, his hands on Zoe’s pillow, and his lips pressed against her ear, he said in a low, aggressive voice:
“I just wanted an excuse to kiss you forcibly, is that not okay?”
“You… you…”
Zoe’s pretty face turned even redder. Under the influence of the familiar aura of the man, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and her skin blushed even more vividly than before.
A wolf-like gleam flashed in Sivey’s eyes. He smiled and kissed her, and this kiss lasted a long time.
They kissed until the girl gradually went from resisting to actively responding.
They kissed until the lights in the room were turned off.
They kissed until the blanket and torn clothes fell to the ground.
…
A month later, the Eagle Territory welcomed its first lady, a lovely demi-human girl.
Her beautiful and soft white hair reached her waist, her golden eyes resembled stars in the sky, and the silky tail behind her was like a cloud fallen from heaven.
The people of the territory spread the news, praising the lady of the lord for her beauty.
Every tavern had minstrels singing songs in her honor.
Zoe put on a pure and elegant white dress. At that moment, she felt like the happiest girl in the world.
But her happiness didn’t last long.
Sivey was a complete madman, scum, and pervert. All the halo around him, his mild and gentlemanly demeanor, was just a facade.
After the initial sweetness, his inherent cruelty and brutality were revealed, and they were unleashed on her.
She was locked up in the dungeon by Sivey.
Torture, whipping, verbal abuse, extreme humiliation.
Zoe, covered in wounds, seemed to have returned to the nightmare, only this time the nightmare didn’t repeat.
This was the reality.
From initial confusion to anger, then to actively trying to please, and now she had grown accustomed to the beatings and abuse.
Every day, Zoe would ask Sivey one question:
“Did you ever love me?”
