Luck is a Charm

"Uhh… Krista, I can explain." Zen sweated nervously as he tried to calm her down.

However, Krista Dragoon didn't care as she grabbed his shirt and dashed toward a room in the Kaiso family, and threw Zen into the bed.

BAM!

Zen grabbed a blanket and tugged himself as he asked, "W-What do you want Krista? We can talk about this."

Krista Dragoon smirked as she said, "Yes, we can talk about this for a long time. I already sent a transmission to William Kaiso that no one will disturb us here."

Krista Dragoon threw the coin back into her spatial ring once she finished informing William Kaiso as she glared at Zen, almost like she's a predator in thirst.

Zen quickly covered himself with his hand as he yelled, "You can't harm me, Krista. D-Don't forget that I-I'm a platinum cardholder."

"Platinum cardholder? Right, but that's Madam Evie's platinum card, not yours." Krista Dragoon smiled as she retrieved a whip.

Zen turned pale from that whip and cried inwardly.

'S-She wouldn't be trying to whip me and try some BDSM right?' Zen heard about those types of foreplay back on Earth from his maid and some are even prone to using a whip to excite themselves.

Zen knew he couldn't stay here any longer as he quickly tried to teleport away.

BOOOM!

Right as Zen was about to chant his teleportation skills, Krista Dragoon activated the platinum card and disable his mana.

"This platinum card is truly amazing. It can even stop you from using magic." Krista Dragoon waved the platinum card around whereas Zen was laying on the bed, unable to move from the pressure.

'D-Damn it, what kind of platinum card is that to even be able to nullify my mana.' Zen cursed inwardly as this was the first time he ever felt restricted.

Not even the labyrinth was able to affect him but a mere card could completely suppress him.

Meanwhile, Krista Dragoon slowly clenched on her whip as she smacked the bed.

WUH-PSSSH!

The whip landed dangerously close to Zen, causing him to shudder and tremble in fear as he could feel the pain if it managed to land on him.

"K-Krista, v-violence is not the answer, we can still talk nicely so don't force my hand." Zen tried to reason with her in a calm and soothing tone.

The current situation is getting more dangerous as Zen continues to struggle to utilize his mana that is being blocked by some unknown force which causes him to pale even more.

Failing to utilize his mana, Zen decided to use his true qi instead, only for it to have the same outcome.

'W-Why can't I use my true qi either?' Zen cried inwardly as he resorted to using his shadow to help him out.

However, there was no response in the shadow, almost like they didn't hear his command or anything.

As Krista Dragoon walked closer to Zen slowly with a whip on her hand, Zen started to feel fear for the first time since transporting to this world.

'W-Wait, I still have Cecilia by my side.' Zen brightened up when he forgot about having Cecilia.

"C-Ceilia, quickly teleport me inside the mysterious space." Zen sent a mental transmission to her but somehow, halfway through the transmission, there was a cancelation barrier, nullifying the message.

The platinum card in Krista Dragoon's hand also fluctuates slightly, causing her to look at it and wonder what happened.

After a few moments of pondering, Krista Dragoon figured out that Zen was trying to call for help.

"Zen, I didn't know you had so many trump cards but it's a shame that this platinum card you lent me has such a powerful function to even block your transmission." Krista Dragoon smiled wicked as she revealed the platinum card and some information was shown in a minor projection.

When Zen saw the minor projection, his eyes widened in fear as it showed his previous cries on it.

"It's a lie, Krista, don't fall for that shitty projection," Zen exclaimed in horror, hoping to convince Krista Dragoon.

Alas, it's all a futile effort as Krista Dragoon was right in front of his face where Zen is immobile.

"You know Zen, I felt really hurt when you became suspicious of me when you entered the Palace Moon restaurant." Krista Dragoon said slowly and continued.

"I know that I'm wrong for hiding multiple things from you but I want you to know that I have no intention of harming you at all. In fact, I-I'm really grateful to you because, without you, I don't think I will be able to handle this world anymore."

Zen was dumbfounded by the sudden confession from Krista Dragoon and he became a bit ashamed of himself.

Indeed, he was suspicious of her from the guard's word and tried to investigate her secretly which is considered immoral since they were allied.

Meanwhile, Krista Dragoon smiled bitterly at Zen's expression and knew she wasn't wrong when he mentioned the empress with a different tone of speech.

Although he was careful in his words, Krista Dragoon was too sensitive to know that there was something fishy with his words.

'Seems like I really have a hard time in making others believe me.' Krista Dragoon sighed inwardly as she deactivated the platinum card before glancing at Zen with a bittered smile.

"I understand Zen, I shall leave you alone now until you can trust me again." Krista Dragoon said slowly as she prepared to leave the room.

However, Zen clenched his fist as he decided to hold Krista Dragoon's arm and pulled her closer to him.

Afterward, Zen planted a kiss on her lips, causing Krista Dragoon to moan slightly from his sudden action.

"Mhm~ W-What are you doing Zen-?" Krista Dragoon stuttered as she couldn't talk any further as Zen kissed her passionately.

Zen started to pry open her mouth and when she tried to resist, Zen decided to flip her around, pinning her down with him on top of her.

"Since you've finished punishing me then it's my turn to punish you." Zen chuckled softly as he made an evil grin, causing Krista Dragoon to yelp in surprise.
