BXBX NOVEL Chapter 386
Pussy tapped on Clair’s shoulder. Suddenly, a blush appeared on her face. “C-can L-Lilith go to c-class with me?” She nervously asked.
Vincent nodded. It was a question he was going to as tomorrow, but Clair appeared to also require someone beside her. Clair needed company while Lilith was in the same situation.
“To be honest, Lilith would love to have someone accompany her. She starts to panic when she is alone.” Vincent said.
Vincent soon remembered how Biro’s lesson starts at eight in the morning and ends at eleven thirty in the morning. Maria’s magic lesson starts at noon and ends at four in the evening.
Half an hour is enough time to go to the next lesson. However, Vincent couldn’t go back to the mansion since each teleport takes one hour time. It would end up taking two hours, and the cold Maira might decline a late student.
“I will also attend the magic class. But because of the teleporting time difference, I will have to wait in the academy.” Vincent stated.
Clair nodded, and a smile appeared on her face. She looked more comfortable after knowing that Vincent and Lilith were going to stay with her in the magic class.
The Cook Class needed mana to improve and awaken new cooking skills. Clair was afraid of spending the next five academic years attending her lessons in a corner while learning how to control mana.
.....
However, that was before Vincent invited her to his team with his wife. He even offered help if the infamous Nikolai ever tried to do something terrible to her.
Later, Vincent left and headed for the last closed door. It was Jun Ye Rim’s bedroom.
*Gulp* Vincent felt nervous after what happened. He was frightened while seeing Kazumi in danger. However, only he could see Kazumi. To Jun Ye Rim, he attacked her Soul Servant without cause.
Vincent knocked on the door. One, two, three, four, five minutes passed slowly, but there was no response.
Vincent thought Jun Ye Rim was asleep, but the curious Kazumi wanted to peek. She exited his body and poked her wisp body in the door, enough to see what was inside.
Kazumi cautiously peeked because she didn’t want the snake-like spirit to attack her again.
[Jun Ye Rim is staring at the door with a frown. Don’t tell me she is has been looking at the door for five minutes? Hehe, she must really hate you for protecting me.]
Kazumi said. She returned to Vincent because the gaze Jun Ye Rim had while looking at the door started to give her the creeps. The pair of pitch-black eyes gave Kazumi the impression of being sucked into an abyss.
Kazumi knew how lonely it was to be in a place devoid of light. Fortunately, before the emerald grass first appeared in Vincent’s Soul Domain and brought life to her surroundings, a portion of her Hero Class helped the lonely Kazumi see what was outside.
“Jun Ye Rim, it’s me, Vincent Lionheart. I apologize again for what happened, but I need to ask you something. Can I come in?” Vincent asked after knocking another time.
*Thud* Vincent heard the sound of something or someone falling on the floor. After learning from Kazumi how Jun Ye Rim was awake, he thought she fell. After what happened in the classroom and how she didn’t have a servant to help her, Vincent started to worry.
“Are you okay?” Vincent asked while opening the door. Shortly, a blush appeared on his cheeks.
Jun Ye Rim was on her knees with her arm overextended to pick up her hairbrush.
She was wearing a black nightgown with an elegant design. The moonlight was illuminating her white hair, and unlike Lupa’s white hair, Jun Ye Rim’s hair glistened as if it was absorbing the light of the moon.
Vincent froze at the unexpected enchanting sight. Soon, her gaze met his. Vincent broke out of his daze.
“I am sorry.” He said before taking a step back and closing the door.
[Well, that was unexpected, hehe. But at least you got to see a pretty sight. I wonder what your wives would say if I tell...]
-I was an accident. I am not a pervert.-
[Well, let me take another peek and see her reaction, hehe. This is exciting.]
Kazumi became interested in Jun Ye Rim’s reaction. She left Vincent’s body once again and entered half of the door to peek. However, Kazumi quickly rushed back and urgently said.
[Quickly! Stop her! She has a pair of scissors near her throat!]
Vincent opened the door, and his heart shrank. Jun Ye Rim was sitting on her bed. Her eyes were closed, and tears slid down her cheeks. A pair of scissors was held with two trembling hands close to her neck.
Similar to how Sakura previously had the mindset of dying pure, Jun Ye Rim chose death over humiliation.
Vincent rushed inside the bedroom and lept, pushing her on the bed. He quickly stole the pair of scissors from her hands and threw them on the floor.
“Death is not an option regardless of what happened. I only saw you in a nightgown! Is that enough to feel the need to die?” Vincent said while he was on top of her.
Jun ye rim didn’t resist. She remained with her eyes closed and looked like a person that was about to be abused. However, Kazumi noticed her mouth moving strangely.
[I... I think she wants to bite her tongue off!]
Vincent frowned. The situation was turning worse by the second. He opened her mouth and shoved his palm to keep her from killing herself.
“I never wished to harm you, Jun Ye Rim. I am not going to do what you think all men do. I have five wives. I don’t need... I don’t have time to cheat on them.” Vincent said.
*Thud, thud, thud*
“My mate! What are you doing?” Lupa appeared. A couple of steps later, Ester, Iris, and Lilith appeared. They saw their husband on the bed with another woman.
“A misunderstanding happened, and now she wants to die pure after being seen in her nightgown. Jun Ye Rim is thinking similar to how Sakura was when I first met her.” Vincent explained. He looked at his wives and asked, “Could I leave this situation to you girls?”
Soon, Ester, Lupa, and Lilith, with Plow between her arms, remained in the bedroom with Jun Ye Rim to clear the misunderstanding because the situation was delicate.
On the other hand, Iris noticed blood on Vincent’s hand. The bite was deep enough for blood to appear. Iris pulled Vincent to their bedroom and tended to his wound.
“What happened?” Iris asked while cleaning his wound. However, after Vincent explained what happened, Iris felt guilty the situation happened all because of her.
After Iris finished treating his injury, they went to check on the situation. The intervention of Ester, Lupa, and Lilith worked because Jun ye rim looked less agitated.
“How is everything going?” Vincent asked.
“We explained how you aren’t a beast and how you came here to ask about the space behind the mansion to grow a small garden of plants. ” Ester responded.
“Yeah, my mate has me. My mate does not need to look for random females. Pointy ears is safe, hehe.” Lupa added while her tail wagged.
“Jun Ye Rim was shaken after what happened previously. But the misunderstanding is behind us.” Lilith said. She placed her hands on her hips and continued with a sly tone, “Someone stated that he doesn’t have time to cheat on us. I think I will need an explanation later.”
*Cough* “Jun ye rim, I am sorry for what happened in the classroom and in your bedroom. If you don’t want to trust me because I am a man, please trust my wives instead.” Vincent apologetically lowered his head.
He walked to the door and said before leaving, “We are a team now. A team only works when we trust each other. If others try to take advantage of you, then look for us instead of taking the easy way out. I roughly know about your situation, so think of this team as your new family. ”
Jun Ye Rim nervously looked at Vincent while he left. She moved her gaze, and four women brightly smiling appeared. It started to feel uncomfortable because it was a sight Jun Ye Rim never thought she would see again in her life.
“As I told you before, Jun Ye Rim, ask for me, Lupa, and Iris to help you with your daily needs since you are alone.” Ester offered. Lupa and Iris nodded.
“Let’s go to class at noon together tomorrow. I will feel less anxious with you around after I get to know Jun Ye Rim a little better. Remember to prepare at eleven in the morning because teleporting takes one hour.” Lilith said with a smile. It appeared she quickly got used to being near Jun Ye Rim.
Jun Ye Rim nodded without uttering a word. She soon saw Ester, Lupa, Iris, and Lilith leave. The bedroom felt empty all of a sudden.
Vincent noticed Nick and Clair poking their heads out of their bedrooms. He went to inform Nick first. Afterward, he met with his wives, and together they went to inform Clair about what had happened.
“I... I understand.” Clair looked at Lilith and continued, “I hope Jun Ye Rim can join us to the lesson.”
“I would like that too. ” Lilith replied. She looked comfortable talking with Clair.
