A Deal With The Frigid Wizard

Chapter 14

“Now that you’ve touched it, suck it.”

Hisran’s voice, lower than usual, was heard. In front of Jaeha, who was on her knees, his semi-erect g*nitals fidgeted. She was the one who had raised it until a while ago by stroking and smoothing it with her hands.

Fellatio was something she was prepared for while writing the contract. Still, her heart weakened when she saw the thing standing with a ferocious head.

Would it fit all go in her mouth?

After hesitating for a moment, Jaeha bit the tip of the shaft.

Men’s and women’s g*nitals were sensitive and delicate. So, it was a lot harder than she thought it would be to bite it with her lip and suck it up without raising her teeth as much as possible. It was difficult to breathe, and her mouth and chin were numb.

Recalling some of the depictions she had seen in romance novels, she licked the glans and slowly licked the pillar as if she was sucking on a candy or licking ice cream.

“Haa…”

There was a sound like the growl of an excited beast. She suddenly wondered what kind of expression Hisran would make.

The moment she lifted her head a little, she heard a louder voice.

“Wow, how crazy! How did you know about this place?”

…Huh?

It was a word that did not fit the current situation at all?

Thanks to it, Jaeha woke up from her sleep. Realizing that the bizarre situation she had just been in was her dream, she kicked the blanket up in embarrassment.

‘Crazy, crazy, Yoon Jaeha! To have such a dream!’

Go out and die. She could barely calm herself down after she had been fussing around on the bed for about three minutes. She could also pay attention to the circumstances outside.

‘I think someone has visited Hisran?’

She knew they were having a conversation. However, it seemed that the contents would not be heard unless they raised their voice like before.

Is it best to remain still like a dead mouse, or is it best to gather information?

After thinking about it, Jaeha roughly checked her outfit and came out of the bedroom.

The voice grew louder as she headed towards the parlor-like area where Hisran had signed the contract. Thankfully, the door was slightly open, so she could eavesdrop on the conversation just by getting closer.

“Do I have to take care of both of them? Viscount Koufen’s work. Even so, Count Gloria’s work…”

“It doesn’t feel good. It may not come to you seriously if you only think of the Count’s work, but it’s worth noting that it happened around the same time as the case of Viscount Koufen. This may also be the work of the Warlocks. So, with the exception of Sir Albert and Sir Hossein, shouldn’t there be someone who is good at healing magic and can defeat the warlocks who may be hiding?”

“Yes, but…”

“Or, do you have some other reason for the reluctance to travel… Winkio.”

“Zeppy, wait!”

The moment she heard the unfamiliar word ‘Winkio,’ Jaeha felt as if her whole body was tied to an invisible rope. Then, the door was wide open. Aside from Hisran, who was making a bewildered expression, there was a strange man staring at her calmly.

He has light blonde hair and scarlet eyes, and, presuming that Hisran called him ‘Zeppy,’ he was probably Zephiroth, one of the deputy masters of the red tower.

“Well, don’t be surprised. It’s just simple trapping magic. Release.”

Hisran, who approached her, said to Jaeha as if to comfort her, dispelling the magic. And, as if to protect her, he hid her behind his back.

“Why did you unleash trap magic? To the general public!”

“I just felt a presence and prepared for any contingency. If I had known in advance that it was Master’s lover, I would not have been rude. Sorry, Lady. My name is Zephyroth Rigner, who undeservedly is the deputy master of the red tower. I sincerely apologize for my hasty judgment and rudeness.”

Zephyros smiled shyly, bowed his head slightly, and offered an apology.

Jaeha’s shoulders trembled.

Zephyroth’s voice was kind, his tone was polite, and his attitude was kind, but she didn’t like him. It wasn’t just because he had used his trap magic on her. It was because even though he was smiling, there was an unexplained chill in his scarlet eyes.

He was a man who felt somewhat reluctant to approach.

Eventually, Jaeha managed to respond by pretending to be mean without frowning.

“I’m not his lover, I’m just an assistant helping him with his research. I am Yoon Jaeha. I heard a loud noise and came to and unintentionally surprised you. Sorry.”

It was a calm answer.

Upon hearing the words, Zephiroth realized three things.

Traces of interpreting magic were detected in the woman in front of him. She didn’t speak their language. The name she introduced was unfamiliar. The various circumstances indicated that she was not, at least, from the Kainus Empire.

‘Besides, she has uncommon black hair.’

Next, the woman did not call Hisran by a formal name. This meant that she either had a status equal to that of him, or that even if she was a real assistant, she was quite friendly with him.

Finally, she did not forgive Zephiroth for his actions. There was no expression in her words to accept his apology. Conversely, she only made his position more difficult by apologizing for his apology.

Meanwhile, Hisran also noticed what he had realized.

As he saw him smiling as if in trouble, he thought to himself.

‘She’s such a formidable person. You got the wrong person. It won’t be easy to win over her with words.’

She was a smart woman with a determined disposition. Zephiroth recognized that he had pushed the wrong button with her.

“If you are the assistant of the Master, we will often see each other in the future, though I made a bad impression on you. I don’t know how to apologize.”

“How many times are we going to bump into each other in a wide red tower? We’re not working together, so don’t worry too much about it.”

Jaeha, still seemingly rude, cut off Zephiroth’s apology. At that, he smiled as if he had no choice but to turn his gaze to Hisran and uttered.

“You’re so mean, Master. If the Master had informed of the existence of the assistant in advance, I would not have been unnecessarily hated.”

“It’s because as soon as you arrived, you were completely distracted by the incident that was suspected to be the work of a warlock.”

Hisran replied with a shrug of his shoulders.

Warlock… Jaeha felt curious about the ominous sound.

“Anyway, is it because of her that you are reluctant to go on long-term business trips?”

“No, I was wondering if I really need to do the work of Count Gloria.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay if you briefly explained to your assistant that it was a suspected case with a warlock? It’s for this continent. I will take full care of your assistant until the Master returns after taking care of the work.”

Apparently, Zephiroth suspected that she was Hisran’s hidden lover.

Hearing his words, Jaeha’s brow furrowed slightly. She noticed that there was a bit of a mix of asking and taunting, although she had no choice but to let it go. She needed to know what was going on before she could respond.

“Can you give me a brief explanation? I want to know in detail.”

“Personally, I want to tell you more in detail to make up for the mistakes I made earlier, but it’s more important than I thought. Even within the red tower, there are no more than five people who knew. It may be possible with the permission of the Master, however…”

“She can listen.”

That word was enough. As Zephiroth and Hisran’s eyes met, Hisran and Jaeha’s eyes met as well.

Zephirotyh repeated the story he had told Hisran. There was no explanation for the warlocks, though Jaeha, a former Korean language teacher, was fully aware of the fact that they were a threat to the peace of this continent by context.

“…It would take about a month if you roughly calculate the time it takes to go back and forth and look at the situation and solve it.”

‘Do I really hate it?’

Unlike on Earth in the 21st century, travel would not be comfortable. It must be rather painful physically. However, wouldn’t it be better than getting into trouble with Zephiroth?

Moreover, the contract period with Hisran was only ninety-nine days. If she stayed away from him on a business trip, she would lose more than a month of time. So, although she wrote a contract so that she could receive a minimum guarantee even if she failed, it was much more profitable for Jaeha to achieve success.

“A month…”

Hisran’s brows as she muttered like that were also frowning.

“If the cause is not identified, it may take longer. After all, the Master likes to roam around, so it doesn’t matter, doesn’t it?”
