Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Qualifications, talents, bloodlines, skills...

A strong person who can stand on his own will possess at least one of these special elements.

But for Arteluci, who has been revered as a princess since birth, these talents that ordinary people covet but cannot obtain are just gifts like a grand slam.

Because of this, although she looks young and has a somewhat immature figure.

But no matter what kind of difficulties she encountered, whether she was hunted by the Holy Church or even besieged by other ancestors of the Dead Apostles, Altluchi could always maintain that high-handed and domineering attitude.

But at this moment, on the blushing girl's face, there was not a trace of the noble and cold aura that the Black Princess should have.

However, there is nothing we can do about it.

Although she has accumulated a lot of experience and knowledge in the past years, Artluqi is not like a pure little white flower who knows nothing about the things between men and women.

No matter how much we see, the gap between theory and initial practice is difficult to erase.

Taking off one's skirt under a man's burning gaze, even for a couple in love, the woman would sometimes feel inexplicably ashamed, let alone Artluqi?

"You...you...you, what on earth did you do? Why is my body out of control?!"

Heiji's voice was very clear, which made people unconsciously think of the icy surface of a lake, but anyone could hear that it contained extreme anger and helplessness.

"..."

"Stop panting with your eyes shining! You really did something to my contract! The obscene desires are almost overflowing from your eyes!"

Because Altluqi's movements were so clean and neat, without any shame or shyness, Roland heard the sound of the hem of her skirt hitting the ground within a few seconds after she untied her shoulder straps.

Although he wanted to act like a gentleman and refute the girl's judgment, he couldn't take his eyes off the beautiful scenery at that moment.

——Under the not-so-bright moonlight, the girl's smooth and graceful back was covered with a layer of jade-like luster.

Because it was piled up in a ball, the gorgeous black dress lay at the girl's feet like a dark quagmire.

The sharp contrast between black and white makes Arteluci look as beautiful as a solitary lotus in full bloom, perfectly blending the otherworldly beauty with the human charm.

Especially the long black hair that flows down like a waterfall. Whenever the breeze blows, it sways slightly, adding a bit of liveliness.

Like ripples spreading out from beneath a lotus leaf.

Even if she does nothing, the girl standing quietly in the wind looks like she is in a painting, with amazing charm.

However, even if Roland didn't respond immediately, the conversation went on smoothly.

After seeing the other party's fixed gaze, Heiji had completely abandoned her reserve and began to vent her anger unilaterally.

"Pervert! Scumbag! ... Lolita control!"

Finally, faced with such harsh comments, even someone as shameless as Roland became somewhat dissatisfied.

"Hey, isn't the word lolita a bit too much? My XP can't be fully covered by just one age group!"

"You don't even deny the first two comments... And, is this the part you're dissatisfied with?"

"Of course! My goal is the stars and the sea. If others think I am a narrow-minded man because of such comments, wouldn't it simply lower the reputation of the saint?"

"Before you got this evaluation, the saint's reputation had already been dragged to the bottom by your behavior just now. There is no need to worry about it falling further!"

Altluchi stared at Roland and sneered.

"In short," Roland ignored the topic without changing his expression and said seriously.

"Although this happened right after I finished speaking and your contract was placed in front of me, as defenseless as being naked, it is indeed hard not to make associations, but this was really not my doing."

"Haha, do you still want to quibble?"

Hearing this, Heiji's eyes became even colder.

"Are you trying to say that this is the result of my actions acting on my own will?"

"..."

"That's what you're thinking, right?"

Seeing Roland's subtle look, Artluqi's teeth were chattering. If she could control her body now, even if she knew she couldn't break through the defense, she would definitely run over and punch Roland without hesitation.

After she let out a long breath and calmed down, Artluci raised her head and looked at Roland.

"Let's take a step back and say that even if this was really my own action, judging from the facts, you are definitely not innocent of this."

Although the other party's expression did not seem fake, the girl still could not trust him.

This was not only because Roland had been constantly pushing her limits since their first encounter, but more importantly, her current state itself was irrefutable evidence pointing to the instigator.

after all--

"Who would keep their shoes and stockings after such an action?"

"Uh……"

Can't refute.

Roland scratched his head and was a little speechless.

Indeed, with such a distinct feature, even if his harem were to judge, they would probably think that this was Roland's deliberate bad taste.

He has a long history of criminal record in this regard.

So much so that for a period of time after she came back, the Saint Virgin... no, Miss Joan of Arc would feel her legs go weak whenever Roland looked at her.

But Roland was also a little confused.

Because he really had never issued such an order.

Although after talking with Ryougi Shiki, he has been looking for encounters with a playful attitude, and even experimented with the power of the primate killer and Kurohime with the mentality of watching a good show.

After all, the essence is here. Even if he allows Altluqi to leave a contract on him, he will not be affected in this regard. The only one who needs to comply with the requirements of the contract is Altluqi herself.

Therefore, when he saw that Heiji started to untie the straps on her own initiative without him giving any orders, he watched with interest.

But looking at the girl's strong reaction now, it doesn't seem like she has awakened some strange hobby.

Then, there is only one possibility.

Roland subconsciously glanced at the content of the contract that he had not noticed before.

After reading the terms of the contract, he gave a strange expression.

"Um……"

Roland suddenly realized what went wrong.

"I see. It's just as I thought... The terms of the contract you set are completely setting a trap for yourself..."

"How is it possible that this kind of thing is--"

Even though she knew that Roland's vision and ability far surpassed her own, facing this answer, Altluchi's face still revealed undisguised surprise and confusion.

Although he has always been bothered by the fact that he could not become Zhu Yue's perfect successor because his power was not stable enough.

But Artluki is not like the protagonist in the comics, who has an unconventional but amazing talent, but deliberately suppresses himself because of the outside world's evaluation and chooses to make up for it in other aspects.

As a result, after years of negotiation, he was helpless when faced with a crisis and reluctantly used his own talents to solve the problem. Then, in the face of the influence of his peers and the constant crises, he recognized himself and chose to accept this talent and power.

In her opinion, knowing that you can become stronger but not doing it is a kind of neglect.

She truly admired and respected the power of the Moon King from the bottom of her heart, and she could not get over that evaluation.

But it is for this reason that she wants to use her talent to prove it, to transcend the shackles and evaluations that are locked on her.

Facts have proved that her choice was correct.

Successfully taking away the long hair of his sister who was supposed to be more perfect than himself, and even being able to tame the grown-up primate killer, are all glorious achievements left by this authority. The latter is something that even Zhu Yue could not do if he was resurrected.

Everything else is fine, but if the conditions are limited to a contract made with one's own blood, no one will understand it better than her. No one!
Unless Roland had used the irreparable power gap to do something before the contract was signed, there would be absolutely no problem with a normally established contract.

She possessed unparalleled arrogance only in the authority of blood and contract.

"Your idea is not wrong in general. Unfortunately, being born too strong is a defect in itself."

"Your past advantages have made you too confident in your own authority. You have never thought about the possibility that your contract will become invalid. Therefore, you naturally cannot imagine the power beyond this limit."

As if he could see through Altluchi's thoughts, Roland shook his head.

"You may not believe it, so let me show you."

Under Heiji's cold and suspicious gaze, Roland snapped his fingers.

The next moment, invisible waves spread along the contract into the girl's mind.

There was no chance for her to refuse. The feeling of weightlessness, as if she was suddenly pulled underwater, made Arteluqi's face change immediately.

Because of the experience of Fu Fu and the Pale Knight, she had been avoiding contact with the other party's essence, and even signed the contract by transfusing blood by herself.

But now, Roland actually wanted to force himself to come into contact with his spirit?

The girl's face turned pale and she instinctively clenched her fists.

With Roland's strength, she wouldn't be surprised even if his spirit was a blazing sun.

Artluci was even ready to howl and repair her body under the illusory sun.

It has nothing to do with whether she is a vampire or not. It is a power that even Fu Fu can feel to retreat and act cute. Changshi's life is thus reduced to ashes, and vaporization in destruction is the natural ending.

however--

"Eh?"

What happened was something she had never expected.

There is no pain of burning, no powerlessness in the face of despair.

After the feeling of falling stopped, all the girl felt was emptiness.

Even to the fact that an outsider had appeared in the spiritual realm, there was no reaction or fluctuation in the surroundings, as if there was a dimension between them.

But she knew, even without needing to be told, that this was not a sign of insensitivity.

It's just not necessary.

Just like throwing a stone into the mountains or dropping a drop of water into the sea, a new life is born in the universe.

The contrast between the existence that is too huge and the existence that is too small makes it unnecessary for them to even respond, because even if they do nothing, the other party will be crushed in an instant.

It was like the thread of the contract that was pulling her towards the truth. It was clearly holding her back just now, but now it was nowhere to be seen.

It's not that it disappears, it's that it's overcome.

When the contract touched Roland and he did not reject it, the contract became part of the laws of this area.

Suddenly, Altluchi came back to her senses.

The illusion in front of her eyes disappeared instantly, leaving only the boy standing in front of her, looking at her with a smile.

"Do you understand?"

he asked.

"Impossible...Who are you?"

It was just a simple question, but Heiji's body trembled involuntarily.

"For now, it's probably the human walk of the Holy Church."

Roland chuckled and didn't ask any more questions.

This behavior was proof that the girl fully understood what had just happened, he continued.

"In the face of such a huge force, even if I do nothing, the secondary effects can easily overturn many things."

"It's like taking out an iron object that has been in a fire. Even if there are no burn marks or flames on the surface, the heat left on it is still enough to burn the hand of the person who touches it."

Artluqi pursed her lips and her expression changed.

As an expert in contracts, she certainly understood what this meant.

Dead Apostles will actively exchange blood to create close followers and build families.

And because of this connection, the superior often has great power to command the subordinate servants, and can even use it to seize the other party's life energy.

Therefore, even if subordinates want to resist, they can often only flee and cannot fight their superiors.

However, if by chance the superior is seriously injured or his own power increases dramatically, the relationship between the two parties can also be reversed.

Artelucci's original plan was to use a contract to establish a dependent relationship, give all her blood to Roland, and use a vague existence to avoid the judgment of the Pale Knight.

Then, after regaining her power, she used her authority over the contract to directly distort the power that should be paid to Roland, who was currently the superior.

Just like Heroic Spirits can also misinterpret Command Seals that are not accurate enough.

But now, this has undoubtedly become empty talk.

She could make the flames go out, but she couldn't erase the remaining heat.

Even if Roland didn't give any orders, the passive connection influence when she used her own power was enough to make her suffer.

It's like signing a contract for loaning capacity.

Whenever she wanted to use the power that belonged to Heiji, she had to give Roland corresponding benefits after using it, otherwise, the contract would force her body to pay.

"And after the contract ended and you had regained your power, didn't you continue to suck my blood?"

Roland explained: "Although I allowed it, and you were paying the price at the time, the price of kissing alone could not offset the power from the superior, so you undressed."

"That makes sense, doesn't it?"

"How can that be justified! After all, why should the price I pay you be the way I give you benefits?"

The girl's pupils were filled with anger, and veins were exposed on her fair forehead.

"Well, probably because I don't need you to provide energy at all, the contract determines the price according to our deepest thoughts and desires."

Roland pondered for a while and came to a relatively reliable conclusion.

"Isn't it still your fault?"

"I won't deny this, but this price would be incurred without your active response, because I haven't issued an order yet. It's just that the contract on your side is unilaterally effective."

"Just like people with dirty hearts see dirty things, just because you have yellow eyes towards me, what you see is yellow."

"Gu..."

Under Roland's teasing gaze, Artluqi's face became redder and redder, and it looked like smoke was about to come out of her head.

But she couldn't fight back.

Being a first experience in every sense, it would have been even stranger not to be lost in desire during that enchanting, confusing moment.

"Well, judging from the current situation, we are not even on good terms until you find a way to cancel your contract. In that case, please give me your guidance."

Ignoring Heiji's indignant expression, Roland walked to her side and gently stroked the girl's long hair as if he was comforting a cat.

There was a deep laugh in his voice.

"——My dependent...Altluci." (End of this chapter)
