The Game Rune System

Yara Yun had never been in a worse situation.

She was tied to her own bed by an outsider and her body continued to shiver with lustful desire.

Though some time has already passed, Tetsuya hasn't done anything to her.

At some point, she would calm down and take off these ropes with her own strength.

After this time, Yara Yun's mind calmed down greatly and she could properly think about her circumstances.

There was a handsome prince lost in thoughts in her room… He was a person with great virtues and principles as he didn't even look at her with lust when she was completely drugged with aphrodisiac.

Even after all she displayed with her goddess beauty, Tetsuya didn't display even a hint of lust nor reaction, so Yara Yun felt safe.

She then began to remember his words, 'He said… Mother in-law?' Right now, Yara Yun realized that she should be thinking about Thera Chase instead of Tetsuya.

He was the one who used aphrodisiac and tried to take her using such low means!

However, Tetsuya's looks and his deed took priority so much that she forgot herself.

Since Tetsuya clearly wasn't her enemy, she should also think about the future by recollecting her thoughts from the past.

'I was sure Thera Chase was… respected me. Even if he had feelings for me, he wasn't a person who would lower himself to such means… Someone must've completely swayed his mind…' Yara Yun thought.

Just like Tetsuya, Yara Yun began to think about people whose hearts and eyes weren't clean at all.

The world was full of those and despite how much she hated it, she had to work with those for her family's status.

The leader, no matter what powerhouse he led; big or small, would be faced by various people. Those people were both his enemies and allies.

Yara Yun had to work with many of those and put a blind eye to their deeds as long as those wouldn't go over her bottom line.

"Seems like you have calmed down already. mother in-law," Tetsuya's words soon rang out in her ears.

He stood up and came closer, his eyes looking at the beauty from the above. His hands then extended and he grasped Yara Yun's slim hand.

It felt soft and so weak, but Tetsuya could sense that she was ready to unleash all her power to protect this seemingly weak hand.

He smiled and said, "You were still too rough. Just look at those red lines." He faintly smiled and asked, "I am sure you have one close to yourself, but I will ask it. Do you need medicine?"

"I don't," Yara Yun replied, her eyes focused on Tetsuya's countenance.

He smiled and nodded.

One by one, Tetsuya began to get rid of all the ropes that had been holding Yara Yun in one place.

He did it carefully and his eyes continued to stay pure.

Yara Yun began to feel so safe and nice that a faint memory of her past flashed through her mind.

What kind of memory was it? A memory of her late husband…

"You could've taken advantage of me through many ways. But all you did was to save me… Are you after my daughter?" Yara Yun asked as Tetsuya continued to call her 'mother in-law'.

There were some bold men who did the same in the past believing in their chances. Of course, it wasn't anything bad if one did it considerably.

Too much of it would just make the ladies fed up.

Nonetheless, Tetsuya's next words struck her heart loudly, "I have already managed to touch Yu's heart. Though she doesn't say it out loud, she likes when I call her 'My Cute Yu'."

'He didn't lie…' Yara Yun inwardly uttered while looking at Tetsuya with no emotions on her face.

But her heart was trembling and she seemed to be both curious and scared for her daughter's future.

The world… She knew the world very well. In her case, she met her husband during childhood and he was a genuine guy from the beginning. She knew him well and eventually married after they became adults, but her daughter certainly had no time to properly get to know Tetsuya.

People these days didn't wait much in the relationship, even though it could often make them regret in the future.

'We were friends, then one day I suddenly became his girlfriend, wife and then a year later a mother.' Yara Yun unknowingly smiled while thinking how lucky she had been.

Her smile was seen by Tetsuya and he unknowingly smiled, "It seems like my mother in-law believes me. Though I won't use this accident to remind you how good a man I am, a part of me is glad… It means I don't have to go through more strict questioning."

"Oh, I have many more questions for you," Yara Yun replied. She understood Tetsuya, so she didn't comment on his words, "Aphrodisiac is a disgusting thing… We both share the same view of it."

"Yes," Tetsuya agreed.

A man who would force a woman to the bed with such a thing should just get killed and in the worst way possible.

How could someone even call himself a man after using it? Tetsuya hated it to the core, but he also would hate a man more if he tried to force a relationship after drugging a woman with aphrodisiac.

It was such a lowly move!

Tetsuya's disgust was clear in his eyes.

Yara Yun liked that and said, "I believe someone has swayed Thera Chase's mind and principles and left him with a more potent aphrodisiac."

"I see…" Yara Yun knew about Thera Chase's name, so she must have known that he was from another province and someone from a noble family.

He had his principles and his mother was a great person, so her words were plausible.

Tetsuya also wanted to believe that. If confirmed, this news would soothe Milady Yuhi's heart which would work similarly in Tetsuya's heart.

"I have heard about various cases with this drug, but never in those someone had turned into a beast that relied on lust to keep its form…" Yara Yun said.

She already left the bed and guided Tetsuya to the underground where she would often try new things outside of anyone's perception.

Even though it was underground and a place for various experiments, Yara Yun had made sure that it always stood clean.

'Does she have some technique for it?' Tetsuya faintly smiled as he continued to follow Yara Yun.

"My first guess… was The Venerable Protector…" She then said a term that Tetsuya was aware of already.

This title belonged to the man who had his eyes set on the wasteland in the north. His origins were the same as the Red Rose Woman, so Tetsuya's body tensed and he showed off the common reaction.

It was good that he knew how far some people were; Yara Yun thought, 'That's good… He doesn't say anything absurd and faces the reality…'

She had been content with Tetsuya so far and her impression kept getting better.

As they arrived in the widely open area deep underground, Yara Yun took out a few things she snatched on their way here.

It was the flower that lost its vitality and luster. It just looked like a dead thing that had been neglected by its owner.

Yara Yun said, "It's what Thera Chase had been presenting to me often. I think those flowers were what made the aphrodisiac even more potent… My body also reacted too much to it, so this flower must've been releasing some hidden smell to make me more… horny."

"It doesn't seem like we can get anything out of it… Just describe how it looked before," Tetsuya didn't react much to that brief silence before the last word. He had been treating her like a mother in-law and thought more of how this whole event would make him and Yara Yu closer.

He was ready to have the last battle between her and the vampires, then reveal himself as the game master so that they could progress even more.

Though it was kinda unfair, the vampires and the humans had to fight.

"Yes," Yara Yun replied and described its appearance in the prime.

After, Tetsuya proposed an idea, "We should check everyone, including their basements and so on. I don't think such flowers need sun to grow, but a certain energy…"

"I agree," Yara Yun nodded, "This flower probably feeds off on the lust, but I don't know how and whether this is dangerous for women… There weren't any reports about the servant's disappearance nor deaths…"

"We should check servants anyway. They are usually the first to get sacrificed in any noble households. I can do it silently if you believe in me," Tetsuya knew that it wouldn't be wise to organize the official checking.

It would just give too much time for potential enemies in the household.

"You are a good son in-law."

"Thank you, mother in-law. You are also very beautiful."

"Thanks."
