Valletta Delight’s life was quite ordinary and uneventful, at least among the noble ladies.
Born as a woman, raised as a possession by her old-fashioned father, and destined to be sold to a man chosen by her family and married one day. That was the fate Valletta envisioned.
Unless you had a strange dream and suddenly, at some point, you awakened to the power of ‘alchemy’.
When Valletta was about ten years old, she fell seriously ill.
At that time, she had a dream. A dream of a woman with the same name as her and the same face as her, who was creating a completely different life.
In the dream, Valletta had strange abilities. She could make potions that could heal people, was usually locked in an attic, and sometimes had conversations with someone with a charming voice through a door.
The Valletta in her dreams was someone who created her own destiny. She was very different from herself, who sat still, did what she was told, and indulged in luxury.
Valletta even saw a scene in her dream where Valletta confessed to someone and kissed him.
When she opened her eyes, she had been suffering from a fever for ten days, almost dying. That day, Valletta gained an amazing ability. She could use the same abilities as her dream self.
And that was the beginning of hell.
Count Delight isolated Valletta from the world, imprisoned her, and began testing and exploiting her abilities.
The dream was a dream. Valletta, like the other Vallettas in the dream, could not escape, had no savior to take revenge on her behalf, and was helpless.
Dreams were dreams and reality was reality.
Life in Valletta was a quagmire, and with each step I took I sank deeper into mud.
As time passed and Valletta became an adult, only one thought filled his mind.
‘I’m bored, I want to die.’
The past of her extravagance was distant. The woman who used to commit atrocities was no more.
The more I rebelled, the more bruises I got on my body, and the more I disobeyed, the more painful it became. I never thought that the crown prince I married would be a psychopath.
Yeah, Valletta just wanted to die.
‘I thought I finally did it… .’
The last opportunity that had been prepared for over a month was lost. It was due to an obstacle that appeared out of thin air.
“……ah.”
I touched my neck a few times as my voice was completely locked. My body, which had always felt a dull pain, was clean. It had been years since I had seen such a healthy body.
Valletta stood up, resting her head on her forehead, and slowly looked around.
It was a large room. The room was surrounded by glass on all sides, so it felt a bit open, but it also felt somehow stuffy.
“Hello, are you awake?”
One side of the bed was sunken.
When Valletta turned her head in surprise, she saw the man who had approached her sitting on the edge of the bed.
“They really look alike.”
Reinhardt grabbed Valletta’s chin and forced her head back. His eyes grew wide.
Reinhardt’s hand slowly grabbed Valletta’s neck.
Valletta, who was trembling slightly, did not avoid Reinhardt’s hand. Even when he grabbed her neck, she only slowly closed her eyes.
“Aren’t you going to rebel?”
Even when I applied force to my hand, Valletta only gasped for breath and showed no real resistance.
Reinhardt, who had been watching her without moving even when her face turned bright red, let go of her hand.
“Cough… …, Knock knock knock!”
Valletta coughed several times as she roughly inhaled the violently rushing oxygen.
“This is not fun.”
The sparkling excitement has slightly subsided.
With eyes that had become even colder, Reinhardt quietly looked at the Valletta Delight brought from another world.
“I have to struggle to live a little longer.”
“… …Why me?”
Reinhardt’s eyes narrowed as he moved his lips in a raspy voice.
“Oh, you want to die.”
Instead of answering, Valletta kept her mouth shut. Her eyes, which had lost their light, were already devoid of any life.
Reinhardt had seen these eyes so many times that he was terribly sorry. They were people who had given up on life and were just waiting for the day to die.
“… … Ah, this is really starting to get boring.”
He clicked his tongue lowly.
“I thought it would be fun, like that Valletta.”
“… … That, Valletta?”
“There was a Valletta who dared to invade my world. Quite different from yours.”
Valletta lowered her eyes. I couldn’t tell what he was saying. But at the same time, I felt like I knew.
‘Is this the Valletta of my dreams?’
A person who lives a completely different life from you in the same environment as you.
“what…….”
He slightly raised the corner of his eye.
“It doesn’t matter since it’ll all be the same on the bed anyway.”
Reinhardt’s large hands caught both of her wrists together and gently pressed them above her head.
“… … .”
“If I’m going to die anyway, why not satisfy my interests and then die?”
Reinhard kissed Valletta on the nape of her neck.
Despite the embarrassing words, Valletta only furrowed her brows slightly and showed no particular reaction.
“Does it look familiar?”
“… … .”
“Then it doesn’t matter.”
“… … .”
Valletta squirmed slightly, feeling a tickle on the back of her neck.
Reinhardt’s flowing hair tickled her cheek.
“Valetta, if you keep doing this, it won’t be fun for me either, so should we make a deal?”
A sweet voice knocked on my ear.
Valletta stared blankly at that beautiful face.
I also thought the crown prince’s face was quite handsome, but he was truly the most beautiful I had ever seen. It was beyond my ability to describe in words.
“Do your best to please me. When I tell you to earn money, you earn it. When I tell you to eat, you eat. When I tell you to play, you play. When I tell you to sleep, you sleep.”
“… … .”
“Instead, if you lose interest in me, I’ll kill you. It won’t hurt.”
No matter what he said, his eyes, which had been indifferent, shook for the first time and looked into Reinhardt’s red eyes.
“In the ultimate paradise, without you even realizing that you are dying.”
Reinhardt said as he stroked Valletta’s nape with his palm. His voice was affectionate, as if he was confessing his hidden feelings, but the content was extremely cruel.
“how is it?”
Valletta was good anyway.
She just wanted to die. Now, just breathing and waking up in the morning was hell to her. Broken and broken, worn and worn, worn down to the point where all that was left was a handful of desire to die.
Reinhard slowly undressed her.
Valletta was instantly naked. Old scars still remained everywhere in Valletta.
Even for Reinhardt, it was impossible to erase the old scars without reconstructing the body. Just as omniscience is not omnipotent, even if Reinhardt was well-versed in many things in the world, the scope he could reach was limited.
“Then do you want to seduce me?”
“… … .”
“Try to make me crazy, Valletta.”
Reinhardt licked his lower lip once, then whispered as he sat Valletta down on his lap.
“until when…….”
“huh?”
“How long does it last?”
Reinhardt opened his mouth and kissed her lightly on the lips.
“Until I get sick of it.”
A crack appeared between Valletta’s beautiful eyebrows.
“Don’t worry, Valletta. I haven’t been interested in toys for more than half a year.”
“……yes.”
Despite Reinhard’s harsh words that he treated her like a ‘toy’, Valletta quietly nodded.
It was common. She had been told almost every day for the past dozen years that she was ‘useless’ or ‘a doll’. Even now, at the age of 25, it was still the same.
“Valetta.”
He called her affectionately.
“It’s your freedom to say you want to live after this prank is over, but don’t cling to me.”
Valletta nodded slowly.
She reached out and wrapped her hand around Reinhard’s neck, then kissed him awkwardly.
Reinhardt rolled his eyes as he watched Valletta clumsily thrust her tongue into him with her eyes tightly shut.
When he deliberately refused to open his mouth, he was busy rolling his tongue over Reinhard’s lips, not knowing what to do.
‘It’s a little different from what I found last time… … .’
I thought this wouldn’t be so bad, to enjoy what I couldn’t do then.
He sat on top of me and smiled faintly as he watched Valletta clumsily flirt with me.
He opened his mouth and pulled her tongue towards him in one breath.
“Huh… … .”
Valletta straightened her back and frowned at the rough movements that made her tongue tingle.
He bit her tongue so hard it hurt.
“As expected, it’s delicious.”
