“Who are you, and where is this place?” Rose asked, voicing her doubts.
Eluna smiled faintly, set the breakfast aside, and said, “Your questions will be answered by Lord Ethan shortly. First, eat your breakfast. Lord Ethan will come to see you later.”
Despite her confusion, Rose could only nod in response and start nibbling at the breakfast.
After leaving Rose’s room, Eluna found Ethan in the village, handling some affairs.
“My Lord, the woman you captured has woken up. Do you want to see her now?”
“Mm, lead the way.”
Eluna took Ethan to her bedroom.
Just before Ethan pushed the door open, she whispered, “Lord Ethan, I’ve synthesized a new potion using the Fountain of Life that you’ve assimilated and your essence blood… It’s a love potion, though I’m not sure about its exact effect.”
“After you’ve tested it, Lord Ethan, don’t forget to tell me how it works.” Eluna winked playfully and handed Ethan a candle. “You just need to light it up, then you’ll know its effect.”
A candle?
A potion?
Ethan suddenly had a hunch, looking at the innocent face of Eluna, he couldn’t help but sigh.
Even the pure and kind-hearted treants were learning bad things, going so far as to drug people.
…
Opening the bedroom door, Ethan slowly walked in, showing his true face this time.
As soon as Ethan entered the bedroom, Rose jumped up like a startled kitten, huddling in a corner, watching Ethan warily…
For her, this man posed an intense threat, like a mouse encountering a tiger in the forest. To Ethan, she was nothing more than prey.
“You don’t need to be so nervous.” Ethan waved his hand with a smile, offering what he considered a friendly grin.
Rose’s taut body relaxed a little, and after taking a good look at Ethan’s face, she exclaimed in realization, “You… you’re the treant who defeated me yesterday, aren’t you?”
Although his species had changed, the similarity in facial features and the familiar sense of threat allowed Rose to recognize Ethan almost immediately.
“Yes,” Ethan nodded.
Rose quickly asked, “Who are you? Why did you bring me here? What’s your relationship with Dragon Church?”
Listening to Rose’s barrage of questions, Ethan felt a slight headache.
He gave her a brief explanation.
After listening to Ethan’s words, Rose’s eyebrows furrowed and her eyes were filled with anger…
“So, you’re saying, Daniel Green, that jerk, instigated this fight between us?”
“That damned sneak, I won’t let him get away with this!”
Rose gritted her teeth in hatred and angrily said, “Will you testify for me? Let’s go to the Lord of Riverside together and expose everything. This sly manipulator needs to be punished!”
“Unfortunately, I can’t testify for you.” Ethan shrugged, looking helpless.
“Why? Aren’t you a victim too? Don’t you want Daniel Green to face justice?” Rose looked at Ethan, full of confusion.
“Why…” Ethan looked at Rose and thought it was a tough question.
So, he used a straightforward method.
He swelled in size, his eyes turned into golden slits, a pair of dragon wings slowly unfurled behind him, and the light of the Divine Dragon constantly showered down.
“Because I am a Dark Lord.”𝒪𝐯𝔩xt.𝚌𝑶𝓂
Rose felt a chill from the soles of her feet to her crown as if an invisible hand was choking her…
A Dark Lord, he’s actually a Dark Lord?
Indeed, how could an ordinary hero have such power if not a Dark Lord?
As a hero, what fate awaited her after being captured by a Dark Lord?
Thinking of the tragic fate of other female heroes she had seen captured by Dark Lords, Rose’s face turned extremely pale.
“Don’t be scared, I just want to negotiate a deal with you,” Ethan gently lifted Rose’s chin.
Under normal circumstances, if someone dared to act so frivolously towards her, she would have cut him with a sword.
But facing Ethan at this moment, Rose didn’t dare to show the slightest displeasure.
“I also want Daniel Green dead, but I also want to wipe out Riverside in one fell swoop…”
“I’m giving you two choices. First, submit to me, swear loyalty, and I will provide all the help you need. Eliminating Daniel Green and the Bounty Guild is just a piece of cake for me.”
“Second, if we can’t reach a cooperation agreement, to avoid unnecessary trouble, I have to hand you over to the goblins in the dungeon.”
Ethan’s cold slit eyes looked at Rose, sending chills down her spine.
Thinking of those dirty, ugly goblins made Rose feel nauseous.
She could never accept that outcome.
But if she agreed to Ethan, she could keep herself useful.
As long as she could survive and return to Riverside… there would always be an opportunity, Rose’s heart began to waver.
Ethan’s next words added fuel to the fire in her heart.
“Plus, I can assure you, I will help you become the new Lord of Riverside.”
Lord of Riverside?
Ethan’s proposal made Rose’s heart skip a beat.
Her ability to establish Black Rose and develop it to its current scale showed that Rose was not a woman content with mediocrity…
Higher status and power were always the goals she pursued in her heart.
After some thought, Rose slowly bowed her head in front of Ethan, “I understand… I swear allegiance to you, Lord Ethan.”
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully subduing Hero Rose! Loyalty: 30%]
Hearing the system’s prompt, a satisfied smile appeared on Ethan’s face.
He slowly leaned towards Rose, breathing in her enticing scent, and whispered in her ear with a smile:
“So, to celebrate your joining, we should do something enjoyable now.”
Ethan lit the candle that Eluna had given him, instantly filling the room with a light fragrance.
Even as a Divine Dragon, Ethan felt his blood rushing faster, his body temperature gradually rising.
The effects were more pronounced on Rose, who was human.
Her face flushed red and her eyes were glazed.
Her legs unconsciously closed together, and she looked at Ethan in a daze.
When she heard what Ethan was suggesting, she had no resistance to it; instead, she felt a faint sense of anticipation…
A special aura floated in the room, and Rose felt increasingly warm and excited.
She looked at Ethan with blurred eyes, suddenly feeling an extraordinary attraction to the man before her.
She couldn’t help but draw closer to Ethan, her enticing figure moving to embrace Ethan.
The candle’s effect had surprised Ethan – it could turn a proud beauty into an enthusiastic seductress in an instant…
He stroked her silky smooth skin, the soft delicate touch under his fingers made him reluctant to let go!
“You are truly beautiful,” Ethan praised.
“I want you…” Rose said breathlessly.
She was eager to possess the man before her!
Rose initiated a kiss, her tongue intertwining with Ethan’s, her slender arms wrapped tightly around Ethan’s neck, her entire body practically hanging on Ethan!
Triggered by this, Ethan’s body instantly reacted!
“Mmm~”
Rose also felt the massive object pressing against her lower body, her cheeks became even redder, and she moaned softly.
She was now beyond control of her emotions.
She held Ethan tightly, crazily kissing every inch of his skin.
Ethan, stirred up by Rose, found his desires inflamed.
Encouraged by the candle’s scent, he no longer held back his desire.
He swept Rose onto the bed, tore her dress, and pinned her beneath him.
Ethan’s hand roamed freely over Rose’s rounded and full buttocks, while his other hand held her plump and white breasts, kneading them forcefully.
“Mmm~”
Rose’s body was very sensitive.
After being teased by Ethan, she let out a soul-melting moan.
Hearing Rose’s moan, Ethan’s heartbeat quickened, his breathing grew heavy, and he growled lowly, his manhood plunging into her wet garden!
“Ah… so good!”
Rose felt like her body was being pierced by electricity, her whole body tingling unbearably.
Every pore of her body opened, enjoying a wonderful pleasure she had never felt before!
She closed her eyes, matching the man’s thrusts.
“Ah—”
She opened her mouth and let out a wild scream!
Her voice was so sweet and full of temptation, like the most potent catalyst, making Ethan’s desire even more intense!
