The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

Horror gripped my heart like the fingers of a drowned and resentful woman.

Jelena opened the door to her hovercraft again.

She pulled me out of the vehicle before dumping me on the floor.

I was still as bare as the day I came to this world.

Jelena got into her vehicle and zoomed off.

She didn't even take a second look at me.

Madam Tayo bent down and looked at me with pity.

However, her pity was brief.

Soon enough, a steely light took its place.

Deep down, I knew that might be the extent of the sympathy I would get from her.

"Qui, bring a blanket!" She yelled at the top of her lungs.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Madam Tayo was beautiful.

Her light brown skin was gleaming. Her face was painted over with makeup. Her yellow pupils were vertical slits.

It added some kind of charm to her.

She aged beautifully.

Her appearance did nothing to appease the despair in me though.

Still, I wasn't willing to give up.

I can't just lay down and take my fate as it was. Impossible.

That would be playing into Jelena's plans. She wanted to see me squashed into the dirtiest mud, I must not give her that chance.

I took a deep breath before exhaling slowly.

I settled my gaze on Madam Tayo, "Let me go. I will triple the amount Jelena gave to you. I can provide everything you want. I will give you wealth, fame. Just name it and it would be yours. Your wishes will not be beyond your grasp." Madam Tayo stared at me strangely.

She didn't say a word to refute me though.

It was like she wanted to see the things I was going to pitch to her.

I continued, "Keeping me here is unprofitable in the long run. Besides, washing your hands off me now and returning me to where I came from is going to win a pardon for you. The rewards you will get would be great bonuses too. Killian would get to the bottom of this, secure yourself before it is too late."

Madam Tayo laughed out loud, "Are you joking? It is better to keep you here with me. There will be nothing to worry about then. You think the King would let me go if he knew that I collected money from Jelena to lock you in this place? I highly doubt it."

"You don't u "I wanted to stop her words.

She held her hand up, "Let me speak. In the King's anger, he would attack anyone or anything he lays his hands on. Everyone is a target. Don't try to deceive me. Only the living spend wealth or get fame, the dead get nothing. Nada. Don't try to deceive me. It's not going to work."

"You don't understand." I said "You are setting yourself up for disaster by doing this. You still have a chance to change this. Even if Killian punishes you because you received money from Jelena to do an evil deed, your punishment wouldn't be too severe. Stop thinking with a one-track mind!"

"You are right." The madam said "I want to train you to be the best courtesan in the history of Flower Embrace. Originally, I just wanted you to be a normal courtesan. Your words convinced me totally. I should think diversely. Although making you the bestselling courtesan would be a hard path to tread, I am not weak. Thank you for the great advice I will put it to use."

I felt like tearing madam Tayo red lips apart. She wasn't listening to me. That path was blocked. I would have to find another way.

Madam Tayo was hard to deal with.

Footstep neared our position. My pupils glanced at the new arrival. It was Qui, the man Madam Tayo called.

He gave his boss a light blue blanket.

Madam Tayo threw the blanket on my body.

It hid my nakedness from public view.

Madam Tayo said to the man beside her, "Carry her and follow me."

Qui nodded.

He scooped me into his arms.

Madam Tayo approached the huge building behind us. The man carrying me followed after like she asked him to.

The whole building was beautiful. It was low-key but at the same time, there was the air of exquisitness and luxuriousness surrounding it.

Right now the customer inflow was low.

Madam Tayo and Qui walked through the front door. They didn't pay any attention to the peering eyes from the bystanders.

I felt like madam Tayo wanted to use me as one of the various ways she will enforce her authority.

Madame Tayo and Qui brought me to a room.

She went to one of the bookshelves leaning on the wall. Madam Tayo took a book out of the bookshelf and walked towards me.

"Qui, go to my room and bring the golden brocade box on my dresser. Be fast about it." Madam Tayo instructed Qui before turning to me, "The medicine Miss Jelena drugged you with should be losing its effectiveness around this time." Qui left quietly.

She was right.

I could feel the lost strength that left my body coming back to me.

Bad plans swirled in my head.

I looked at Madam Tayo warily.

"Your eyes are telling me you want to kill me. I would like to advise you to stop entertaining that thought while you can. You are powerless. You are a puppet and I am your puppeteer. It is better to just roll with your fate, you would enjoy yourself in the long run." Madam Tayo laughed.

My fingers moved flexibly.

"If you think all this is going to make me an easy dough for you to knead, I just want to tell you that you are very mistaken." I sneered.

Qui returned at this time.

He brought a shiny brocade box to her.

The box wasn't too big. It had etchings on it surface. Only minor parts of the brocade box remained bare.

Madam Tayo smiled and received the box from Qui.

She gave the book in her hands to Qui and proceeded to open the box.

From my position, I couldn't see what was in the box.

She brought the item in the box out and snapped the box shut.

Madam Tayo approached me with a tiny smile.

Her smile gave me the creeps.

I was about to get unlucky.

She squatted beside my body and the item she was holding was revealed.

It was an anklet.

It was beautiful and the golden color on the surface gleamed.

"What do you want to do?" I asked her through gritted teeth.

The anklet wasn't going to be anything good.

I will never believe the anklet was a normal jewelry.

If I wasn't paralyzed and weak, I would have made my way out of this place.

"Oh?" Madam Tayo tilted her head and pretended to scan the anklet with her eyes, "It's the thing that would keep you under control. It would keep your superpowers in check. We don't want you biting back at the customers, do we? Having a rabid attitude wouldn't do too good in our journey to make you the top beauty in this brothel."
