Chapter 796: Your Arrival is Perfectly Timed
So, in this bedtime story, I'm playing the role of the villain?
As he played along with the "evil Lionheart Prince" in the story, Lyon couldn't help but touch his face, revealing a possessive and charming smile. Then, he looked into the mirror in the director's office and smiled again.
"Kekekeke..."
The mirror reflected a face filled with evil, cunning, sinister, and despicable traits, and even a hint of lecherousness.
Damn... My image is completely ruined...
Lyon tried to correct his expression twice in the mirror, but no matter how he contorted his facial muscles, the sinister and lecherous face remained. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, then turned his head away and shot a lecherous glance at the red-haired director beside him.
"???"
After being swept by Lyon's gaze, which was two parts evil, three parts sinister, and five parts lustful, the red-haired director couldn't help but hiss. Then, with a thoughtful expression, she said, "After being affected by that bedtime story, not only will your physique and strength be suppressed to the level of the character, but even your appearance and behavior will also shift towards the character?"
"Not bad! Not bad at all!"
Upon hearing the red-haired director's guess, Lyon's eyes lit up with a lecherous gleam, and he chuckled as he replied, "You're right! No wonder you're the woman I've been thinking about for so long but haven't been able to get my hands on. It seems that besides your face and figure, you also have... Cough! Cough! Cough! %&¥"
Lyon raised his hand to pinch his neck, barely stopping himself from saying the filthy words that followed. The evil Lionheart Prince's face turned red, and with an evil and strained expression, he said, "Olivia, you really... understand me?"
"Of course I do. It's all because of that bedtime story."
The red-haired director patted Lyon's shoulder, comforting him. After seeing Lyon's relieved expression, she sighed and said, "It seems that the ability of the Non-Existent Narrative not only drags people into the story but can also bring out others' suppressed desires. I didn't expect that you've been thinking about me for so long."
"???"
"What? Is there someone else you've been thinking about besides me?"
As Lyon's eyes widened in surprise, the red-haired director's eyebrows lifted slightly, and she smiled mischievously. "Could it be that you're thinking of having your arms around both of us, hugging me with your left arm and Emma with your right, then kissing one on the left and caressing the other on the right... Hey, don't run away!"
Why shouldn't I run? Do you want me to stay and be teased by you? Realizing that she was once again unable to resist making fun of him, the evil Lionheart Prince's face darkened, and without hesitation, he turned and walked away. However, before Lyon could even reach the office door, his arm was grabbed.
"Don't be angry~"
The red-haired director, who had somehow managed to sneak up behind Lyon without him noticing, held his arm and blinked innocently. "You were the one who was looking at me with a lecherous gaze first. I only teased you a little because the atmosphere was so good, and I couldn't help myself. Why did you run off like that~?"
I... I had my reasons, right? If it weren't for the bedtime story, I definitely wouldn't look at you like that. But you're clearly taking the initiative to make fun of me!
"Alright, alright. Can't I just tease you a little?"
The red-haired director sighed and blinked regretfully. Then, clearing her throat, she said seriously, "Lyon, when I reached out to grab you just now, I also took the opportunity to check your physical condition. In the bedtime story..."
"Under the influence of the Mirror World, your physical strength, agility, and reaction speed have all significantly decreased, almost to the level of an ordinary person."
"Hmph, of course I know that, Your Highness!"
"..."
Lyon watched as the Red-Haired Director responded with a hiss, barely holding back the urge to tease him further. He continued his analysis with utmost seriousness:
"Now, regarding the Anomaly Items, you should try using the ones you have. I suspect that those Anomaly Items beyond your 'role' might no longer be usable."
What?!
Lyon was startled by this revelation and immediately reached out to touch his sleeve cuff, summoning the Young Ha in the Mirror World.
Fortunately, although Young Ha was considered an Anomaly "Item," its ability to travel between the Mirror World and reality was likely its innate racial ability. Thus, it wasn't affected by the limitations, and it still responded to Lyon's call.
"Woof!"
Along with a slightly puzzled bark, the most commonly used Slicing Silver Dagger was delivered into Lyon's palm. Lyon gripped the handle of the dagger and tested it by cutting the desk in front of him.
"Ssss!"
The sound of the sharp blade tearing through the wood grain filled the air as Lyon's silver dagger effortlessly penetrated the thick tabletop, leaving a gash about two centimeters deep.
However, unlike before, the tabletop didn't 'live' and close up after being cut. Instead, the Slicing Silver Dagger had genuinely torn through it. When Lyon withdrew the blade from the desk, the gash remained open.
"..."
It really couldn't be used...
Lyon tried a few other Anomaly Items, most of which showed no response, causing his brows to furrow even more. He looked up at the Red-Haired Director, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of evil and mischief, and said:
"If you have any ideas, speak up. Once I return, I'll definitely make time to reward you handsomely!"
"Oh?"
At Lyon's renewed teasing, the Red-Haired Director's eyebrows rose, and he reached out to hold Lyon's arm, leaning in close. With a flirtatious tone, he teased:
"What kind of reward are you talking about? And where do you plan to reward me? In the guest room upstairs, or perhaps right here in this office... Cough, cough... This Bedtime Story is truly extraordinary, even affecting me to a great extent!"
"???"
What nonsense are you spouting? You're the one affected... No, wait!
Lyon was about to retort when the Red-Haired Director suddenly straightened up and released his arm. Lyon turned to look at the door.
As expected, the ever-punctual Miss Olivia stood outside, her face flushed with embarrassment, fiddling with her skirt's hem... How did you get here on time when I can't even use my Anomaly Items?
"Your Highness, Miss Olivia..."
As Lyon stared in surprise, Miss Olivia pretended not to notice and entered the room, her hands clasped in front of her abdomen, and she performed a standard Maid's Bow, her voice soft and submissive as she suggested:
"I... I can make the bed for you?"
(What the...?!) (What the...?!)
