“Raphne…? Can you calm down and hear me out for a moment?”

“What is there to talk about? Do we have something to discuss right now?”

With heavy breaths, Raphne laid me down on the bed and climbed on top of me, pinning me down.

My heart raced like a rabbit caught by a beast.@@novelbin@@

Was this the fear of death, or something else entirely?

Raphne’s flushed cheeks and hollow eyes looked down at me.

Immediately after returning to the tower.

After locking the door, Raphne said,

“Stay the night, Ken.”

Why would she lock the door if we were just staying the night?

There are two reasons for locking a door:

To prevent something from coming in or to keep something from going out.

In this case, it must be the latter.

“Raphne! We agreed no more imprisonment!”

Having experienced it once before, I quickly went on high alert and shouted at her.

But Raphne shook her head, smiling.

“No, it’s not imprisonment. I trust you, Ken. …I’m just asking you to spend the night.”

Her expression didn’t convey the meaning of merely staying over.

Just a moment ago, I felt a flutter of excitement from testing my new skill.

Now, my heart raced for a different reason.

And now, as time passed, I lay tied to the bed by Raphne’s hand.

For the record, immediately after locking the door, Raphne had stripped down to just her form-fitting underwear.

Why was she acting so bold today?

The reason was crystal clear.
