Lackey's Seducing Survival Odyssey

Never in Aether's wildest dreams did he think he would become a living bomb.

"To think, what I had been doing was slowly killing myself... ah," Aether mused with a wry expression.

"That's why you need to be careful, and since everyone saw what you did, I'm pretty sure the whole student body already knows by now," the Principal said, her serious face was evident.

"Sigh, Anyhow, we will deal with your situation later..... Now, what happened exactly to Aria and Aqualina?" the Principal asked with a penetrating gaze, and Aether nodded, knowing this question was inevitable.

He explained everything, though he carefully omitted the part where he tried to seduce them.

There was no way he would confess!

"I see..." The Empress's eyes flickered with dark, dangerous intent, "To think that boy is just a puppet...."

"Someone able to infiltrate the academy... They must have used an advanced artifact similar to the one in that incident a week ago..." The Principal's thoughtful expression deepened before she nodded decisively then she looked at Aether and said,

"As of now, you will be staying with me."

"Huh?" Aether frowned, confusion mingling with an unexpected surge of anticipation. The idea of living with the Principal was both thrilling and intimidating.

"I mean Victor," the Principal clarified with a grin, "Victor is under my protection as my disciple, so he will be living with me."

Aether gulped, seeing the spark of enthusiasm in her eyes, 'Did I awaken something inside her?' he wondered, feeling a strange mixture of fear and excitement.

He quickly dressed and followed her out of the chamber.

Delphine and Taylor sighed in relief, their faces lighting up as they saw Aether was unharmed.

As they walked, Alaric and the other professors observed but didn't intervene. It was clear the Principal was acting on her own authority.

The Empress departed to check on her daughter, with Taylor, while Delphine returned to her work.

Soon, Aether was led to the Principal's house. It was grand, with a huge hall, luxurious kitchen, plush sofas, and elegant bedrooms. Nestled within the academy, it provided constant protection.

"What about Aether... I mean the servant situation? I could not possibly live here, right?" Aether asked, his voice tinged with uncertainty.

The Principal had a thoughtful expression as she sat on the sofa, Aether decided to sit beside he--

"Sit over there!"

Aether nodded, a playful smile tugging at his lips, and sat opposite her, admiring her beauty up close for the first time. This is my first time seeing her this close...

'Damn, she is fucking beautiful!' he thought, though he kept his expression stern.

She asked about Aether's daily routines, nodding thoughtfully as he spoke, before outlining his new schedule. "In the morning, you will act as a servant. After lunch, you can be Victor, and as soon as classes finish, you will return to being a servant. At night, I will teach you."

Aether nodded in understanding, though a question lingered in his mind. "When will I sleep?"

"Hmm?" The Principal's expression was almost incredulous, "Sleep? Why would you need to?" Her dismissive tone made him wonder if she ever slept herself.

Aether's lips twitched with amusement.

"Now care to tell me where you did find a cloning scroll spell?" Principal asked with a curious expression. She was well aware it was very rare to get that spell and considering his slave status she wondered how even able to afford it.

"I got it from someone...." Aether didn't explain it further, Principal shrugged it off.

Soon, the Principal left for her duties, saying, "You can rest now!".

Aether wandered around the house, noting hiding spots, peeking spots, and escape routes. Entering his new room, he marvelled at its grandeur. The bed was enormous, large enough for five people.

'Damn...' he thought with an amused smile.

His life was certainly changing!

He examined the room for potential escape routes, just in case he pushed the Principal too far.

"What are you doing?" The Empress appeared out of nowhere, her gaze intense and questioning.

Aether was initially startled but quickly recovered, coughing slightly, "N-nothing, just checking around."

"I see..." The Empress's eyes softened as she looked at Aether. "Thank you for saving my daughter." Her gratitude was unexpected, a softer side to her normally commanding presence.

Aether blinked, surprised by her gratitude. With a cheeky smile, he replied, "Well, of course, I saved OUR—ahem—daughter, Empress! I know MY—ahem—Empress would be sad," his expression shifting to one of sorrow.

The Empress's lips twitched. 'Looks like he has grown in many ways,' she thought, an amused smile playing on her lips. She placed a hand on his shoulder, pushing him down onto the bed as she straddled his hips, her body pressed intimately against his.

Her touch was electric, sending sparks of desire coursing through him.

Aether's heart pounded, feeling the heat of her body through his clothes. Though surprised, he maintained his composure, his hands instinctively finding her thighs.

"Empress always wanted to dominate... ah" he mumbled with an amused face. His fingers tightened, feeling the smooth, firm flesh beneath them, his senses heightened by her closeness.

The Empress flinched at his boldness, not expecting him to touch her so confidently.

'He is more daring than before,' she thought, feeling a strange heat rise within her. She leaned in, her lips brushing his as she spoke. "I want to reward you for saving my daughter, so..." she whispered seductively, her breath hot against his ear, "What do you want?" She pressed her ass against his, grinding slowly, teasingly, making him ache for more.

Aether's ears twitched, his eyes widening with a mix of desire and surprise. Her scent enveloped him, intoxicating and arousing, her closeness driving him wild.

'What's going on?!' he screamed inwardly, trying to maintain his composure. The primal urge to take her, to claim her, surged within him.

The Empress grinned inwardly, delighted by his blushing face.

'How is that, Bastard?!', She finally felt a measure of control, taking her revenge in this tantalizing game!!

Yet, as she looked at his handsome face, she couldn't deny the strange heat that pooled in her belly.

'His charm is dangerously compelling!' The realization both thrilled and unnerved her.

Seeing him staring at her lips, she knew what he was about to ask. She smirked inwardly, ready to tease him further.

"What is it?" she purred seductively, her voice dripping with honey, making Aether gulp harder.

However,

"Give me a hug," Aether asked gently, wrapping his hands around her hips and pulling her into an embrace, their bodies pressing closer. The simple request caught her off guard, a tender contrast to the heated moment.

The Empress was taken aback, her cheeks flushing a delicate pink.

She had expected him to ask for a kiss.

A kiss from the Empress must be special, right? And yet... The unexpected tenderness of his request stirred something deep within her.

A red hue appeared on her cheeks.

[Survival rate: 31.7%↓]

Aether didn't care!

He knew she might be dangerous in the future, but shouldn't you make the dangerous ones your allies? With that thought, he decided to follow his heart rather than worry about his survival rate. The risk was worth the reward, and he was willing to take it.

Now, he wanted to tame this lioness and express his true feelings.

"Empress, why do you feel so good? Whenever I hug you, I feel my body calm down, and I feel so good like I could sleep for eternity while holding you," he said softly, his voice filled with genuine wonder.

Those were his real thoughts because even before when he hugged her, he always felt like he was in a gentle mother's embrace. He wondered why.

The Empress stared at his gentle yet curious expression and said, "It's because of my bloodline ability."

"Bloodline ability?" Aether frowned, this was only the second time he had heard that term.
