Chapter 7 – You Can Have My Body, But Not My Heart

“uh?…where am I?”

When I woke up, I realized I was in an unfamiliar room, I began to remember the last thing that happened before I passed out and I immediately knew the situation I was in.

‘this is not good’

I don’t know what happened after I passed out so anxiety took over me.

Click!

At that moment I heard the door start to open and my heart skipped a beat.

I can already imagine what will happen with how beautiful my appearance is. I have some memories thanks to my alternate self so my heart started to race faster and I started to imagine the worst.

Thinking about those two guys who were like gorillas and defiling my body….

‘uhmm wait sounds like it would be interesting to see (¬‿¬) ….

‘No!!! Get away from me intrusive thoughts, remember you are the girl in that scene’,

Yes, the problem was that it was about myself and I didn’t want the opportunity to experience it. I began to regret my impulsive actions very much.

‘I swear I’m never going to be impulsive again, so please don’t let what I think happen.’

I didn’t even know who I was asking for help, I just didn’t want to go through that experience.

I already had tears in my eyes and was beginning to accept my fate and turned to face the consequences of my actions.

so when the door opened wide I averted my eyes and hugged my body as I shouted my determination.

“You may have my body, but never my heart!!!”

that was my resolution in the face of the dark destiny that awaited me, but the answer I received was…

“My lady, why would I want your body?”

Was my faithful, beautiful maid who responded to my resolution and final struggle, I was so moved that I jumped up and hugged her while crying.

“Wuaaaaah!, I thought…snif! they had kidnapped me.”

This falling down my face are man tears from a touching reunion. It’s not like I was crying because I was scared. Those boogers on Elena’s suit have nothing to do with me.

“…”

“Stop looking at me coldly and comfort me.”

“My lady, I have to say your actions were very reckless and I do not condone them. what were you thinking?”

“….” ‘On adding a girl to my harem.’

But I knew the moment I said it I would reach Elena’s limits, so I kept that thought inside me and used my right to remain silent.

After that, she told me off, something she wouldn’t even dare to do a few weeks ago because of our status. I want to believe it’s because of how close we’ve become.

Elena then told me what happened , After I hit the gorilla guy, I didn’t get hit back or anything like that, but when he turned around because of my scream he hit me unintentionally causing me to pass out.

After I fainted, she hid in the shadows of the alley while taking a large club that she had put among her belongings for this trip and hit them hard before they even noticed.

When she did, she immediately grabbed me and brought me to an inn to recover while she made me drink recovery potions.

“What about the girl in danger?”

I asked since she didn’t mention anything about her.

“¯¯_(-_-)_/¯ ”

Apparently she didn’t pay attention to the woman. Well, since Elena knocked the guys out, I guess she was able to escape. In the end everything went well, however, I missed a good opportunity.

‘For the sake of building a harem, I need to be stronger.’

A new resolve was born in me, driven by an overriding desire.

“Lucky you had brought that club for self-defense.”

“….”

“Hey!, it’s for self-defense, isn’t it!?”

“…(¬_¬ )”

‘Hey, why aren’t you answering, why are you averting your eyes?’

At that moment I was really thankful I didn’t answer that I ran driven by my desires.

That club gives me a bad feeling. ‘Let’s avoid angering her too much.’

In the end I received no answer as to the purpose of the club, but sometimes it’s better to live in ignorance so I didn’t inquire much either. 

“My lady, it’s almost time for our flying ship to leave, we must hurry.”

‘Oh, I’d forgotten. I don’t know how long I was unconscious, but it looks like it’s about time to leave.’

…

..

.

“Hey, wait!!!, wait put that club down and let’s talk calmly. We are rational beings, so we can talk.”

I begged for my life as I looked at the menacingly huge club Elena was holding.

“Don’t worry, My Lady, it’s just to talk some sense into you.”

“Elena, calm down. remember that I am a noblewoman of high rank, as well as your mistress.”

“That’s why, My Lady, I have to talk some sense into you.”

“Wait! Calm down and let me explain calmly.”

“I am calm.”

“Well, put that club down.”

‘Holy shit, she sure is scary holding that huge club that looks like it has traces of blood on it from who knows where.’

The reason for our discussion is that after a week of traveling on the flying ship , we arrived at our destination, but the problem was that I hadn’t told her exactly what it was we were coming to do.

But when I told her, she pulled out that club that I had no doubt could smash my head in.

There was something I desperately needed in this kingdom that I did not hesitate to come even if it was dangerous.

In this realm there is the legacy of lust, one of the 14 control-free legacies of the gods.Each based on seven sins and seven virtues.

My target was lust, which was located in this realm. My alternate future self, after a few years, learned of this place.

I remember my future self shedding tears of blood knowing that the legacy that would fulfill his goal was within his grasp all that time.

But it was too late as it was someone else’s possession, that almost made him want to commit suicide on the spot.

‘Don’t worry, future me, I’ll fulfill our dreams no matter what,’

Even if I have to face that huge club that emitted an ominous aura.

“Look, I didn’t say we would enter the Forest of Chaos, I just said we have to head there.”

“..눈_눈..”

“We’re just going to the surrounding area, I don’t plan on going into the forest, so put that club down .”

It was just a miscommunication. The Chaos Forest is basically a place where unless you’ve passed four metamorphoses, you shouldn’t enter.

Two ordinary people with barely any strength would be suicide, so I understand that she wanted to talk some sense into me, but I don’t approve of his methods.

“I’m sorry, My Lady, I jumped to conclusions… For a moment, I thought you were committing double suicide or something.

‘Hey!… I can hear you, what kind of a person do you think I am’.

Everything is fine with her apology until she whispered the second part which I heard so clearly that it seemed intentional, but well I’ll forgive her, because she was thinking of me wasn’t she?

Well, now that I have her approval we can get going.

..

.

We are now walking through the outer areas of the Chaos Forest, at a distance where we are not affected by the fog that is always present, once we entered our fate would be sealed.

We walked for hours, until I instinctively felt something.

‘There it is.’

It was the first time I felt it, but I was sure. It’s my skill resonating with something. I immediately followed where my senses were telling me to go, with Elena behind me.

..

.

After walking for hours, something I could only endure thanks to the use of stamina-enhancing potions, I had thoroughly prepared myself and had requested many potions and such from my Father, as well as money.

Honestly, I’m surprised they didn’t suspect I was going to do something, but then I remembered how eccentric Seraphina was before I possessed her body so it wasn’t a rare thing.

As I got to where my sensations were telling me, I could see a small temple or some very old structure that was surrounded by a lot of undergrowth and barely noticeable if it wasn’t for us getting closer.

Without stopping, I walked into the structure.There was nothing to mention, just an old and forgotten structure, but my feelings don’t fail, so I started looking, with Elena helping me.

I had only told her we were coming to find an ancient object to be powerful, so she didn’t know exactly what we were looking for, but I did, so we continued until she found some stairs hidden under a rug that led somewhere.

Without hesitation, I pulled out a potion that when shaken emitted light and we walked into it. We walked for a while in the dark.

The place seemed to expand more and more until it was like a majestic subway temple. We had no trouble, but on the way we saw skeletons that seemed to have suffered from some traps that caused their death.

In fact, if I hadn’t chosen the Heir (A) skill, I wouldn’t have even wanted to come. This place is more dangerous than the Chaos Forest, with traps and more things that were extremely lethal, even to the strongest in the kingdom.

But by me having that skill, I become a VIP guest of any place with legacy. It’s not an attack or creation skill, nor useful in combat, but it’s completely a cheat skill if you have the right information.

So Elena and I didn’t activate anything and walked normally until we reached the deepest area of this place.

After a long time walking We were in a corridor at the end of which we saw a light and it was the first one we saw since we went down letting me know that our target is ahead of us and I didn’t doubt it, since my skill gave me clear signs of it.

When we reached the end of the corridor, we were momentarily blinded by the intensity of the light, and as we got used to it, we could see that on the podium in front of us the source of the light was a large and majestic… dick?.
