Chapter 155: I need to suck you
"What was she thinking, making such demands?" Vlad released a long sigh, pressing his temples between his thumb and fingers. "If I get caught, I might as well be expelled from the academy."
He sat on the roof of a shop in the market, his eyes fixed on the girls’ dormitory a few hundred metres ahead, or more accurately, on the window on the fourth floor of the tallest building among them.
The reason he was here at twelve-thirty in the night was because of the message he had received from Seraphina a few hours earlier.

Sera: Come to my room through the window around 12:30 in the night. Make sure you don’t get caught.
Vlad: ??
Sera: Just do as you’re told.
Vlad: I don’t wanna get expelled.
Sera: If you don’t come, getting expelled will be the least of your worries.
Vlad: -_-

"This won’t do." Vlad shook his head, his eyes narrowing with determination. "I can’t let her order me around like this. If only I hadn’t agreed to become her errand boy."
He carefully surveyed the dormitory. Only one woman was outside, patrolling around the buildings. "She must be the warden."
He waited until she turned the corner of a building. The moment her figure vanished from sight, he jumped from the shop and bolted forward.
He ran barefoot on his toes, taking short, quick steps to make as little noise as possible.
Once he reached the base of the building, he bent his knees and hurled himself upward. His head struck the glass with a bonk since the window was closed.
"Th-that idiot!" Vlad muttered as he began falling backward. He barely managed to catch himself by grabbing the sunshade slab above the window with one hand.
From below, he could hear the warden’s footsteps approaching.
I’m screwed," he gasped. "If I run now, I’ll be caught. If I break through the window, it’ll draw a lot of attention. I’m fucked either way."
Vlad swallowed hard as one foot emerged from around the corner of the building, his heartbeat quickening.
"So this is how my academy life ends..."
The window suddenly opened, and a hand pulled him inside by the collar.
"What was that sound?" The warden’s head snapped toward the open window on the fourth floor.
"Lady Seraphina, why are you awake at this hour?" the warden asked, finding the red-haired girl standing at the window.
"I was feeling a bit warm, so I opened the window," Seraphina explained calmly, her eyes turning toward the warden below.
"Not exactly a warm weather, I would say," the warden sighed. "Nonetheless, good night, Lady Seraphina. Inform me if you need anything."
"Will do. Good night, Miss Warden." Seraphina closed the window and spread the curtains.
"Eh? Didn’t she say she was feeling warm?" The warden raised an eyebrow. "Hah... forget it. No one can understand the moods of the high nobles."

While Seraphina was talking to the warden, Vlad was stuck in a life-or-death dilemma. When she dragged him inside, he fell onto the floor between her legs. The problem was... she was wearing a one-piece nightgown that was open from below, and Vlad could see everything underneath.
"Phew... that was a close one." Seraphina released a sigh of relief as she closed the window. "Couldn’t you look around before comi—"
Her words stopped mid-sentence when she found Vlad lying below her, his face crimson and his eyes shaking.
"You pervert!" she snapped, stomping on his face before jumping aside and closing her legs.
"Ack! My nose!" Vlad cried, holding his mouth, finally snapping out of his daze.
"Commoner," Seraphina muttered, her voice dropping as she stared down at Vlad with her pink eyes.
"I shall gauge out your eyes for this offense," she declared, drawing her wand from her storage ring.
"H-hey, calm down," Vlad blurted, rising into a sitting position. "It was you who suddenly pulled me beneath you. And I didn’t see anything more than I already have. You are wearing the same pair of underwear you did the last time I ca—"
Smack!

"You are growing more and more bold, commoner," Seraphina said with narrowed eyes, sitting cross-legged at the edge of the bed. "Have I been too lenient with you?"
"Nah, it’s you who have become more aggressive," Vlad murmured, rubbing his reddened cheek as he sat on the floor before her.
"What did you just say?" Seraphina demanded, her brows knitting together.
"Nothing." He shook his head, his eyes rolling in annoyance.
Seraphina could tell that he was genuinely annoyed for some reason.
"A-ahem, what happened?" she asked, calming herself.
"First, you ordered me to come to your room at midnight, and then you kept your windows closed as well," Vlad mumbled. "I was this close to getting expelled."
"O-oh, I invited you at twelve-thirty, but it was already twelve-forty," Seraphina explained, her eyes turning sideways. "I thought you wouldn’t come."
Vlad simply gave her a sharp look, causing her to flinch.
"It was my mistake. I apologize for troubling you," she continued, feeling unsettled by his sharp gaze.
Vlad could only sigh. "Well, it’s progress that you’re actually admitting your mistake."
"Y-you’re saying that like I’m some spoiled noble child," she snapped.
"..."
Vlad’s silence was louder than any words.
"Y-you should also apologize for peeking!" she demanded, pointing at Vlad.
"Should I?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "You put me there, and I’ve already been beaten for that. Twice."
Seraphina was left completely speechless. Although he was being annoyingly arrogant, there was no lie in his words.
"Now, could you tell me what was so urgent and secretive that it could only be done in your room at midnight?" he asked, rising to his feet.
"Well..." Seraphina’s cheeks turned crimson, her eyes lowering in shame. "I..."
"You?"
"I need to..."
"You need to..." Vlad moved closer, standing in front of her.
Her fist tightened as she gathered the resolve to say the words. After taking a deep breath, she rose onto her feet on the bed and leaned forward, her lips reaching his ear as she whispered,
"I need to suck you."
