Leon’s POV
Listening to their conversation through smartphones confirmed something for me about Sesillian. First, he was keeping Charlotte’s virginity intact for some reason. I knew why—or at least, I’d pieced together enough to have a good idea.
A ritual through sacrifice. That’s what the guy Rose had interrogated had said. He also mentioned that the sacrifice had to be a virgin. That was the main reason, based on everything I’d gathered about Sesillian so far.
It was the easiest and most obvious conclusion, given the information I had.
The other thing I confirmed was that Sesillian was related to a historical figure who had vanished from the history books but somehow managed to make a significant impact in this world. This relative was the creator, or at least the introducer, of firearms. It was supposed to be impossible here, yet somehow, the concept of firearms was brought into this world with the same design and principles as on Earth. It felt like this man, Sesillian’s ancestor, had essentially copied the technology.
How did I find this out? Thanks to the TECH department and the use of smartphones, I traced the history of a house that had fallen into disrepair. It turned out that this house was originally built by the very man who had introduced the concept of guns and firearms into this world.
So if this guy had copied the design and concept of firearms and introduced them to this world, how the did he get an original? The only explanation that made sense was that he somehow managed to get his hands on a gun from Earth, or at least tracked one down somewhere, though I had no idea where.
Guns had been some of the most crucial weapons against demons back in the day. I’d been on a relentless quest to uncover the origins of these weapons and figure out how they ended up here. For years, I came up empty-handed. I found out the name of the inventor, but his name wasn’t listed in any history books, making it a real bitch to find him. Thankfully, with Sesillian and Charlotte bringing their smartphones along, I finally managed to track him down and gather some crucial info.
“Eclipse… and the reason why guns exist here,” I murmured, a dark smirk curling at the corners of my lips. The thought alone made my pulse quicken with anticipation. “If I can unravel that mystery, my odds of finding a way back to Earth will shoot up. And then, I’ll have the chance to finally make those bastards who’ve wronged my sister pay. I know what my next move has to be: bring Eclipse down and drag them through the fucking mud.”
Now that I’d managed to mess up their plans by deflowering Charlotte, Sesillian would have no choice but to rethink how to make his ritual succeed. He’d have to find another sacrifice that fits his fucked-up requirements.
“But before he gets a chance to do that, I’ll make sure to ruin him socially,” I said to myself.
Currently, on the video feed from the TECH department, a man with silver hair was sprawled out on the bed, surrounded by three other men. Each of these men was stunning in their own right—handsome, built like hunks. The silver-haired man, Sesillian, was the focus of their attention as they took turns on him.
This scene played out right after he’d dropped Charlotte back at the academy and rushed to his house, where one of my Shadows had planted spying devices. What I saw now was a sight I had to shield the TECH girls from—it was far from pleasant. In fact, I felt my stomach churn. I’d read BL mangas back on Earth, thanks to Kaori’s recommendations, and enjoyed them. But watching it live like this, involving someone I knew, was a whole different level of disturbing.
“I guess my assumption about him being gay was right after all,” I murmured to myself, my voice tinged with disbelief. I was alone in the dimly lit room where the TECH department was working, deliberately keeping them away from this abhorrent scene. “And three men at once, no less. It’s shocking to think that someone as renowned among women as him is actually gay. It seems those women never saw his true nature. He must have been hiding it so well that they never noticed. This could be why he avoided sleeping with Charlotte, besides his initial motive to keep her pure.”
Unable to stomach the depravity any longer, I hit save on the recording and made my way out of the room.
“But before I expose this to the public, I need to ensure someone sees it first,” I said with a steely resolve.
That’s right. Someone has to see it first, so her delusions will shatter and her will to resist will crumble like dust. Then, dominating her will be as easy as pie. I need to crush her completely, making sure she belongs to me and never lets herself be with another man again.
“I wonder how she’ll fall apart when she sees that the Professor she’s so passionately in love with doesn’t actually give a damn about her and is into the same sex as him?”
The thought thrilled me. I couldn’t help but smirk. But this video I have now—it has to be saved for the grand finale. After our last sex session, I’ll show her this, and she’ll never want to go back to him, even after we’re done.
“For now, I need to slowly dominate her,” I said to myself, my voice cold and calculated.
Everything was falling into place, one piece at a time. Even if the process was painstakingly slow, each element was slotting into place perfectly.
I dialed Charlotte’s number, my fingers moving with a deliberate calm, and pressed the call button.
“Y-Yes? What do you want?” she answered.
Her voice wavered, trembling slightly. She knew full well that I was always watching—everywhere she went, everything she did, I’d find out. She’d told Sesillian earlier that she wanted to sleep with him, and that was a direct breach of our contract. According to the agreement, no one was supposed to touch her before the contract ended. She was still mine for at least four more sessions, and her actions were a blatant violation.
“Would you mind coming to the student council room? I just want to discuss something with you.”
And that was why I was planning a punishment she wouldn’t soon forget.
