Chương 42: Chapter 41: The Deal

-Gulp

Swallowing for the umpteenth time, I tried to stay still, but with me being tied on the table like some kind of lab rat, I just couldn't resist the impulse to do something, to get away, to break free.

-Flick

"Owww!!"

And I got the fruit of my efforts in the form of a flick, that made my forehead swell up red like a tomato. Clearly this wasn't the first time I was 'punished'.

Teary eyed, I looked at my assaulter, only to be rebuked.

"Stop acting!!, I'm not your mother dearest to fall for that face, just stay still and let me examine you."

'That must be enough, right?'

Looking at the Empress who pressing me down using a single finger with an annoyed expression on her face...

'No, a bit more...'

I thought, as nervously, a bit unsurely, I stopped stopping a certain part of my body from standing up.

And the effect was instantaneous.
