"Hmm... What are you doing?" Helena asked, her curiosity piqued as Aether cornered her, slamming his hand on the wall beside her.

The famous Kabedon!

"Does your heart beat faster?" Aether inquired with a sly smile, his face close enough that she could feel the warmth of his breath and smell the faint scent of mint. His eyes glinted with mischief.

"???" Helena tilted her head, touching her chest as if to verify her feelings, "No, it's normal."

"...." Aether frowned slightly, perplexed by her calm demeanour, "What do you feel now?"

"Hmm?... Curious? Caution?" Helena's expression turned doubtful. She was genuinely intrigued by Aether's actions but also wary, wondering if he might attack her when she least expected it.

Aether raised his eyebrows, not expecting such an answer. Her honesty and innocence disarmed him momentarily. He then asked, "Could I touch your face?"

Helena frowned, her instincts kicking in. She had been told by the Archpriestess to never allow anyone, especially the opposite gender, to touch her, "No!"

Aether nodded, understanding her reluctance. He didn't want to push her too far and risk scaring her off. Instead, he stared deeply into her golden eyes, which sparkled with a mixture of curiosity and innocence. His heart pounded, and he found himself captivated by her unwavering gaze.

'Damn!! If Aqualina knew this, she would laugh her ass off, knowing her opponent was even dumber than her servant,' Aether thought before saying, "I think your Archpriestess must be wro...." His words trailed off as he noticed Helena's expression slowly turning blank and fanatical, a look of pure devotion that unnerved him.

'Oh dear!' Aether sighed, realizing Helena must be one of the Archpriestess's fanatic devotees.

Quickly, he rephrased his statement, "The Archpriestess is really right."

"Told you!" Helena's expression softened, a proud smile spreading across her face.

"However... there is another method, you know" Aether continued, hiding his sly smile. His mind raced with thoughts of how to manipulate her curiosity further.

"Another method?" Helena's eyes lit up with curiosity, leaning in closer.

"Yes," Aether said, pretending to be hesitant, "Though it's something done only by two people and should be kept private, away from others."

"Hmm!! What is it?!!" Helena's golden eyes swirled with the eagerness of a child about to hear an exciting story, her lips parting slightly in anticipation.

"Hmm? It's hard to explain," Aether said, feigning defeat, "You might hate me for saying it."

"Hmm?" Helena pondered. She believed in the Archpriestess's words, but Aether had captured the Archpriestess's interest, so he must be special, right? With that thought, she said,

"Don't worry, I won't hate you!"

Aether smiled inwardly while maintaining a contemplative expression, "Really?"

"Yes"

Aether's lips widened into a smile as he leaned closer to her ear, whispering gently and seductively, "R.E.A.L.L.Y?"

"!!!" Helena flinched at the sound of his words, feeling as if a demon was whispering to her. Her heart skipped a beat, and she could feel a heat rising in her cheeks.

'Gulp'

She swallowed hard, looking at Aether, who had a calm, almost predatory look on his face.

A small... very small faint blush crept onto her cheeks, making her look even more vulnerable and innocent.

Helena meekly nodded. It felt like a powerful rabbit had fallen into the clutches of a cunning fox!

Aether's lips trembled with suppressed laughter, but he controlled himself. "It happens only when a boy and girl are in love."

"Hmm?" Helena tilted her head again, her golden hair cascading over her shoulder.

'She is cute when she tilts her head,' Aether thought before continuing, "When a boy and girl fall in love, they want to spend time together..." He began to weave a romantic narrative, his voice was soft and enticing.

Helena's eyes sparkled with a mix of curiosity and happiness. Though she had heard bits and pieces about 'Love,' this was the first time someone had explained it so tenderly.

'S-So that is love...?' She thought, committing Aether's words to memory. Her imagination ran wild with visions of love and romance, painting a rosy picture in her mind.... Maiden's Love image!

Aether then asked, "Do you have someone you love?"

"Hmmm....." She thought for a moment before shaking her head. Though she was close to Finnian, it was more like a brotherly bond, and she didn't have much contact with other males.... So, no!

"Good," Aether nodded with relief. He was grateful that this wasn't another 'NTR' situation, as his targets were often engaged or married. He couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt, but he brushed it aside.

Nevertheless,

"You haven't told me another method," Helena reminded him, her curiosity reignited.

Yes, Aether had only spoken about normal love life, nothing too serious... just a few romantic-comedies he had seen in manga.

Now for the real deal, to corrupt her mind, Aether needed to lower her guard first so that's why he told her rom-com first and then made her listen attentively and now for the corruption time,

'Hehe..' with cunning laugh inwardly.

"You see, when a man and woman fall in love, they touch each other's hands."

'That obvious!' Helena nodded, having seen people do that.

"Then their lips touch each other."

Helena frowned slightly, her lips pursing in confusion, 'Yeah, I did see a few doing that... I felt nauseated!' she thought.

"Then their tongue touch each other"

Helena frowned deeply, a crease forming between her brows.

"Then they show their naked bodies to each other."

Helena's face twisted in disgust at the thought, 'Showing each other's bodies... yuck, that's disgusting!' she thought.

"Then they touch each other's groins."

Helena's face turned horrified, her eyes widening in shock.

"Then they suck each other's groins."

Helena looked as if she was about to vomit. The vivid imagery was too much for her.

"Then the man's groin enters the woman's groin."

Helena's face went pale, her skin almost translucent.

"Then the man releases his love inside the woman's groin."

"VAAAWWWWWWW!!!"

She.... Literally vomited. She just thought Man peeing inside a woman!!

"..." Aether was stunned when she vomited on his clothes, 'Maybe I should have told her more gently...' he thought, but he knew this was a simple, albeit harsh, reality.

He immediately took her to the bathroom, where she continued to vomit as if she had heard something utterly repulsive. He held her hair back gently, his fingers brushing against her soft strands.

'What's with her?' Aether wondered as she kept retching, 'Does she really hate it?'.

"I-I am f-fine! and.. I-I am sorry...." Helena stammered, her face pale. Her mind was dizzy, but Aether shook his head and picked her up like a princess. Helena, not in the right mind, didn't realize Aether was touching her.

He laid her gently on the bed and said, "Rest, don't think about unnecessary things," before cleaning up the mess with a calm efficiency that belied the situation.

Helena watched him clean her vomit, feeling a surge of guilt. She was the one responsible, but Aether simply said, "It's fine, it's my fault to begin with. I shouldn't have told you that." His voice was soothing, almost tender.

He needs to learn a lot of things to understand women first...

Helena wanted to argue that he had warned her, but she hadn't listened, so she was responsible Aether continued cleaning and then washed his shirt before putting it on again.

Though it was wet, Aether didn't mind. He would wash it again in his dorm.

He then looked at Helena one last time, saying, "Please rest for a while" as he unconsciously kissed her forehead before walking out of her room.

Helena, surprised, touched her forehead where she could still feel the faint wetness of his kiss. It was then that something Aether had said popped into her mind.

"People in love show their affection by kissing each other's foreheads."

Suddenly, Helena's face flushed as she pulled the blanket over her head to hide her embarrassment. Her heart pounded in her chest, and she felt a confusing mix of emotions swirling inside her.
