Apotheosis

"Hey! Hey..." Lennie shouted, trying to stop Yolande. But it was clear that she wouldn't change her mind unless he could win her.

Lennie was confident in his own ability. However, thinking of the magical power of the enchantment, he gave up the idea of fighting her.

Nina was anxious when she saw Zen being taken away by Yolande like a puppy. "Uncle, what do we do now?" she asked. She hadn't expected that even Lennie couldn't save Zen this time.

"Well, there's nothing I can do now. I hope Zen can hold on until some help comes his way." Lennie couldn't come up with any good idea except comforting Nina. Even the Lord of the city couldn't persuade Yolande to change her mind.

Zen was so depressed.

He wondered if Yolande was deliberately torturing him. The transparent box he was locked in was rubbing against the ground all the time and would turn over occasionally, so Zen had to face the ground in some cases and rolled over along the way.

When he was pulled forward by Yolande on the streets of White Emperor City, many soldiers and civilians came to watch.

"Hey, Yolande! Can you let go of me?" Zen pleaded, squatting in the box.

"Bang!" The box turned over again and Zen faced the ground again. It would take him a lot of efforts even if he wanted to see Yolande's feet.

"Since you're the offender here, why should I let go of you?" Yolande asked.

"I'm not an offender! I beat a guy named Yale who tried to kill me. He then asked his brother Josef to help him. However, instead of striking me down, he was killed by me. Then a guy named Hugh came. He wanted to kill me too."

Zen had figured out Yolande's way of doing things, and so was trying to convince her by logi

aving Zen in a corner, she began to untie her nine-color long skirt.

The girl seemed to have no self-protection sense against men at all, or she wouldn't have taken off her clothes in front of a man like this.

After taking off all her clothes, she stared Zen for a while with her grey big eyes. There was a rare expression on her face--she frowned!

Then she covered the transparent box with her nine-color long skirt before walking to a big wooden barrel and jumping into it.

Although Zen had read many books, he had never thought of himself as a gentleman. He knew how rude it would be to look at a girl nude, but it was impossible for a young man of his age to have no physical reaction at such moment.

'If you're afraid I'll see you take a bath, you should at least have covered the box a little bit more tightly. Why did you leave such a big bar area uncovered?' he thought to himself. Zen wondered what Yolande was thinking. From the uncovered area, he could see her clearly.

'Be polite! Keep your eyes away from her!' Zen kept on reminding himself in heart. However, his eyes turned uncontrollably to her.
