Vincent sat as he matched her beautiful eyes. Neither of them blinked and just stared for several seconds. Zera grasped his arms and held him with a tight grip.

"Friend?"

Zera said and tilted her head towards him. Her tail now coiled around his entire arm and yanked him. The mixture of slight pain and soft fur was pleasant. Vincent, however, was no longer the pushover from before.

'She doesn't seem as bad as the rumours say… But I don't like how she control's the pace.'

He pulled his arm back as her tail wrapped around him; she flew into his lap. She landed on his thighs with a pap. Shock and confusion filled her gaze. Zera was about to attack him as she believed his movement to be an attack. The moment before, her sharp claws extended and attacked. She felt a soft touch along her cheek as the pretty male under her gave a gentle smile.

"Friend!"

Zera felt shocked. Normally, people would shun or treat her like a monster. She enjoyed the fact this guy didn't mistreat her. But he kept stroking her fur, which made her chest and abdomen feel fuzzy. He also had some large club under her butt that kept shifting and rubbed against her.

'Strange boy… Not human.'

— Odette Von Conzelmann POV

'My half-sister entered my classroom. I was supposed to despise her like mother and father told me. But honestly, I loved my little sister. She was cute and fluffy… No matter how much I begged, why won't mother accept her? There are countless other girls and wives that she is fine with.'

'Zera, why are you going for Vincent? I told you about him every day when we were kids.'

My body shuddered in anger. Yet, at the same moment, an accursed joy filled me from within. I can't go against this curse, and it drives me crazy.

The family traditions, laws and rules sounded in my head like a thick clasp and unbreakable chain.

Why is it I was the eldest? Whenever I see my sisters enjoy life, make the friends as they wish…

'Why should I marry someone like Dirk!? Just because his father knows the dark secrets of our family!'

'Don't kid with me! Plenty of my sisters could do this. Why me?'

I was concerned about the future after several girls turned away.

These girls were not really students, but sent to monitor my actions and words. My father once discovered my diary and love for Vincent and shattered my first love the next day. Odette died from that moment and became the heir to the Von Conzelmann estate.

How I wished to support his tearful face when they mocked him for his lack of power. The merciless actions of my father showed no reprieve.

I once placed a coat over the beaten Vincent, which was seen by one of my monitors. The next day, they embedded a slave gem into my body. Each time I felt a positive feeling towards him. This cursed object would force me to insult him, treat him like scum…

'I wanted to wish him well. Such a freedom denied from me.'

A few days after our dungeon dive, I awoke in the middle of the night and heard my parents and Dirk talking.

I discovered the truth, the reason my father was cold to me.

I Odette Von Conzelmann, have no blood ties with the Conzelmann family.

They stole me from my genuine family and murdered the entire clan. They will never allow me to succeed the family and only wished to tear the phoenix core from my body on the day I am fully matured.

They monitor my every action. The person could be a simple merchant, a tramp, or even my own friends. He forced me to sign a contract, to never contact Vincent Schwartz of my accord, nor have a positive relationship with him. He would have you killed if I broke this rule.

I was only 12 and didn't understand your mother was more powerful than my father's entire army. By the time I learned the truth. It was far, far too late.

'I am aware of my two faced revolting actions. Despite everything, I never in my wildest dreams dare to ask for forgiveness because of my inadequacy. That caused you to be hurt and humiliated.'

'Vincent, you were so cool in the dungeon.'

'How did the lunch I left for you taste? Was it good? That wasn't the teacher's kindness…'

'The time you almost drowned, then a strange blue bird saved you, yet nobody believed you.'

'That was me…'

'Maybe when I die I can at least be honest with myself!'

'Odette, the foolish clown of the Von Conzelmann family,'

— Odette POV end

Zera bit the hand of Vincent that kept stroking her body. She was then stunned as he spanked her ass and yanked her tail. This lead to her fur standing up as she dived into his unguarded chest and clawed at him. Her frustration only increased as her attacks couldn't even mark his skin.

'Ah! So annoying…. Stupid! Touch me in naughty places!' She fumed in her thoughts.

[Demonic choice activated]

[Act like A simp and upset readers and let her beat you.] (More simp! More Reward!)

[Or]

[Show this little cat who the master is and make her submissive] (How submissive affects the reward)

[Or]

[Try to talk this cat down in a civilised manner and beat her with words!] (How deeply you beat her effects reward)

Vincent got a little irrigated from her claws that tore his shirt and tunic. So he lifted both legs up as his knees touched his chest and shot both lets out with a snap like a jackhammer. His feet collided with her stomach and caught her off guard as she catapulted across the room and smashed through the woodener door with a bang.

<Why are you so violent…?>

'Well, she was attacking me? So isn't it fair to counter attack?'

<She caused no damage to you though? Girls are delicate, you know?>

'Then why does she look so damn happy!?'

<Eh?>

"Hahahaha!"

Zera stood from the debris and threw it aside with a clank as she waved her face from side to side and fluttered her long, curled eyelashes. Her slit pupils looked towards Vincent and narrowed as an enormous smile filled her face.

Slide!

The girl shot towards him with a gallant dash. Her right leg rose and used a desk to gain elevation as she flew with a spin. She snapped her left leg out like a scorpion's tail going in for the kill as it broke through the air with a whistle. His eyes widened at how flexible and talented she was in close combat.

'Oh?'

Shhhrt!

Vincent kicked away his chair and leaned backwards as her soft fleshy leg slid past his face with less than a centimetre distance. Her eyes filled with shock and delight as they gleamed with a blue light. Ice formed behind her as she tapped his table with a single toe and vaulted herself back towards him with an elbow attack with a sharp blade of ice attached.

'Ah, this girl is perfect for our team! I really want her!'

<No, no, no, no she's trying to kill you!? How is this perfect!>

'That's why!'

"Avidus!"

Bang!

His right forearm, covered in black flaming scales, stopped her blow and evaporated the ice spike before it touched him. He grabbed her sleek silver hair with his left hand in a tight grip. Her body struggled to get free as she fell from the air. He slammed his knee into her face at full power, his left hand pulled her onto the knee as a loud thud sounded.

The instant his knee hit her face, the entire class was stunned as the berserker became limp and fell to the ground with a bust nose that poured blood. Her eyes were not those of fear, pain, or anger.

She gave a look of submission. The intense pain made small tears form in her eyes that caused him to feel bad for a moment. Yet he believed in his own actions, no matter how cute, should a woman attack him intending to harm or kill.

He will kill her first.

Zera, on her hands and knee's looked up towards him with a bloody nose bent the wrong way. She felt a sense of fear beyond those of monsters in the dark dungeon. This man just stood and looked down at her with no pity or regret.

'!!!'

Her eyes saw a dark shadow of a huge horned demon with golden eyes and sharp teeth. She almost peed herself in fear, but now understood this was the man that smelled like her mother and that shadow was his true form.

'Sister! He is not cute and kind like you said! How can you be so blind and like such an insane man… It was the looks right? Zera likes his looks too. Zera also likes his power and merciless blows… Odette is a loser, Zera will win for once!'

Vincent almost felt bad for the girl, who seemed to cry. The next moment, she crawled close to his thigh and rubbed against him with a loud purr, and ended those thoughts. Many students in the room almost died on the spot. This was the girl that crippled a boy for touching her tail! Vincent just yanked it and smashed her face in with his knee… Yet she did nothing!

<I feel you like picking up lost animals in the rain…>

"Hey, name, tell me you're again!"

Zera asked him in a less aggressive tone, now more feminine and appealing. She bit his thigh when he took too long to reply, but this bite was playful and less aggressive. He still kicked her flank in retaliation as she winced and gave a louder purr.

"Vincent Schwartz, your new owner! Cute little silver tabby cat!"

He ignored the situation and picked her up by the waist and put her over his shoulder like a fireman's carry. Her little legs kicked around as her arms waved, yet he ignored her input and left the classroom. Her nose and face needed to be fixed, and he couldn't use such complex magic.
