Chapter 110: The Substance
Eren and Norelia sat side by side on the edge of the bed with their heads down, looking like convicted criminals as Mira stood before them with arms crossed over her absurdly lush chest, like a slender, sexy, and extremely pissed-off police officer enforcing the law.
"How dare you two start fucking when Emma placed a ban on sex?!" Mira demanded, tapping her foot against the floor.
Eren scratched his chin, attempting to find a legal loophole. "Technically speaking... no actual intercourse occurred. Therefore, no bans were officially violated."
Norelia nodded rapidly in agreement. "He’s right! It wasn’t sex! I merely provided a footjob!"
Eren gave an appreciative mumble. "Which was the best experience."
"Shut up, you unhinged pervert!"
Norelia jabbed her elbow into his ribs.
"Me? You’re the one who dragged me to the floor and bound my wrists like some hardcore bondage fantasy!"
"Because it was righteous revenge for your wildly inappropriate stunt during my live lecture!" she huffed.
"Which you accepted with shameless enthusiasm, Professor!"
"Hold up, both of you!" Mira shouted, raising a hand to cut off their growing argument.
Both of them snapped their heads up. From their seated angle on the bed, Mira’s enormous, eye-popping tits completely dominated their field of vision. Norelia stared at the gravity-defying volume for a split second before letting out a soft, defeated pout.
Flat is justice.
Mira held up the toy. "Now... care to explain what this lewd little thing actually is?"
Eren and Norelia immediately darted their eyes in opposite directions, suddenly finding the wall decor far more interesting than answering the question. Neither had any desire to confess the scandalous thing of the wireless vibration device.
A mischievous grin spread across the red-haired maid’s face as she leaned in, her emerald eyes gleaming with absolute blackmail power. "You know... I bet Emma would be thrilled to hear all about this little session."
"It would be beneficial if you refrained from doing that," Eren advised quickly.
"Absolutely not! Do not tell Emma!" Norelia practically squealed.
Mira’s grin stretched even wider. She shoved the device into Eren’s hands, her eyes sparkling with a sudden, thoroughly unwholesome curiosity.
"Well... if you two want me to keep this juicy little secret completely off from the captain," Mira purred, "then Young Master... you have to teach me exactly how to use it."
Eren stared down at the toy in his hands, his blue eyes filled with amusement as he sighed internally. ’At this rate, I’m going to need to create many different toys.’

The next morning in the vice principal’s office, Carolynn took a slow sip of her tea. She let out a long sigh as she set the cup down, looking at the uninvited guest sitting across from her desk.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to wander into my private office, Vaelis?" Carolynn asked, her tone filled with annoyance. "It’s already absurd for you to be undercover here as an exchange student. What do you think would happen if the kingdom discovered there isn’t just one, but two demons residing within the Royal Academy?"
The young man sitting in the leather chair merely offered a smooth smile. He was tall, exceptionally pale, and possessed the qualities of a high noble. He was in the academy’s formal uniform, having dark white hair styled impeccably.
"Which is precisely why it would be far more convenient if you simply returned to the New Demon Realm with me, my Lord," Vaelis replied, taking a sip of his own tea.
"I’ve told you a thousand times—I am no longer the Demon Lord," the voluptuous orange-haired MILF replied flatly, leaning back in her chair. "I abdicated that throne over two centuries ago. Right now, I am simply Vice Principal Carolynn."
"But the realm struggles to maintain without your authority," Vaelis pointed out with a faint, mocking chuckle. "Why are you so stubbornly attached to remaining in this fragile, tedious land of humans?"
"That is entirely none of your concern," Carolynn countered coolly, stacking a set of folders on her desk. "If you’ve concluded your report, you may take your leave."
Vaelis set his teacup down, his tone shifted into something serious.
"Tell me, my Lord..." Vaelis said softly. "Are you truly remaining here out of affection for that human girl you’ve been raising? I wonder... what would happen if she were no longer in the pictu—?"
BOOM.
The temperature in the room instantly fell. Before Vaelis could even finish his sentence, Carolynn’s presence turned suffocating. Her usual warm, motherly demeanor vanished entirely, replaced by the terrifying apex predator. Her pupils turned into glowing, demonic slits.
The suffocating presence made Vaelis’s muscles lock in place, giving him a jolt of terror as his eyes widened.
"Watch your words very carefully, Vaelis," Carolynn whispered.
Vaelis’s smile went stiff, his pale skin growing a shade lighter under the crushing pressure.
He raised his hands in a polite, mock-surrender gesture as he slowly exhaled. "My apologies... I was merely testing the waters. I have zero intention of initiating a conflict with the human realm today."
The suffocating pressure evaporated as quickly as it had appeared. Carolynn let out another weary sigh, gathering her lecture files and stepping out from her desk.
"You will never convince me to return," Carolynn stated plainly, walking toward the exit door. "Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have an advanced arcanist class to teach."
She reached out, her hand wrapping around the door handle.
"I didn’t come here solely to ask for your return, my Queen," Vaelis called out, which made Carolynn pause, her hand freezing on the handle.
Vaelis stood up, smoothing down the front of his uniform as his eyes locked onto her back with seriousness.
"The entity you sacrificed so much to bury... has returned," Vaelis revealed. "We’ve confirmed undeniable traces of The Substance right here within the capital city."
Carolynn’s grip on the door handle visibly shook, the color draining slightly from her gorgeous face as the nightmare of her ancient past came back to greet her once more.
