《The Villain’s Redemption》The Villain's Redemption
Advertisement
Lucinia expected the Dungeon to be dark and wet, an uncomfortable place for every prisoner. To her surprise, the place was actually very clean. The walls were white, which only made the room brighter. Of course, there was no window in the room, but the lights coming from the bulb was more than enough to illuminate the whole room.
Lucinia fixed her dress before she walked inside the room where they kept Victoria. She immediately saw the woman lying on the wooden bed. A chain was on her wrist, preventing her from approaching Lucinia.
"Why did you bring me here?" Victoria's voice was hoarse, she immediately wondered if it was because of crying or chanting spells. Surely, the woman already tried to escape this place right? "You pushed me and hurt me, and now you actually asked the Duke to imprison me?" Victoria shook her head. "No… the Duke wouldn't do something like this. He is merciful and kind! He wouldn't hurt me."
"He wouldn't," Lucinia uttered. "But I would." She shrugged and look at the woman's contorted expression.
"Are you crazy? I didn't … I didn't even touch you! Was it because you were jealous?" The realization hit Victoria as she widened her eyes. "A woman's jealousy knows no bounds!"
In response, Lucinia only shrugged. She smiled before she said, "I want to know everything about the king."
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me," Lucinia said. "I know he sent you here. Did he send you to harm the Duke? Did you put something in the blood that he had been drinking?" First of all, Mo Li was powerful, but he wasn't invincible. Even she, Lucinia, could cause him some pain. Her ability might not be enough to kill him but…she was certain, it could harm him. This means that other things in this world could harm him too. Just like that flower.

"What are you talking about?"
"I hate it when people act as if I'm wrong. "Alright… she wasn't really sure that she was right. But something inside her — the crazy voices— was telling her that Victoria was sent by the king to harm them.
"I want to know… everything about your task here." Lucinia didn't take a seat. She only stood, her eyes unfathomable as she waited for Victoria to say something. "I will give you three seconds to answer me."
"And if I don't give you an answer?"
"One."
"You think I would really— "
"Two."
"I already told you! I don't know what you — "
"Three." Lucinia sighed before she exerted pressure on the woman.
"AHHHHH! What— STOP!!!!!! STOP IT!!!!!" Victoria clutched her chest, her eyes closed as she gritted her teeth. "Stop it!" she whimpered.
"I am asking you a question."
"Stop… stop it, please… I really don't know what you are talking about."
Lucinia turned silent, but she didn't release the pressure in the woman's blood. She wondered if her analysis were wrong after all. Mo Li clearly told her that he would trust anything that she says. He even told her to trust these voices as this was her brain— the real brain that she had. This wasn't the original Lucinia's voice or ghosts. This was something that she always had with her.
"I told you… please… stop… I told you… I really don't know anything about it."
"And I don't believe you," Lucinia said as she started bluffing. Half of her hoped that she actually got it right. "I know about Zach too." She said. "I know he is working for the King and not the Queen. I also know about the flowers."

As expected, Victoria's eyes became wide. "What— what are you talking about?"
"You tell me." She calmly shrugged, her voice mellow and somehow sweet. Lucinia frowned inwardly. She couldn't deny it. Watching the woman react to her words was making her happy. It was akin to the living proof that her previous assumptions were right!
"You are crazy! Crazy! How am I going to tell you something that— AHHHH Stop! Stop it!" Victoria squealed, tears and sweat can be seen on her face. "Stop it! I really don't know what you are talking about."
"So you really won't say anything, huh." Lucinia sighed. "What about your mother?"
"What?"
"Your mother… what do you think will happen if I hurt her the way I hurt you now?" She didn't miss the fear that flashed in the woman's eyes.
"You wouldn't do that." Victoria shook her head as if her life depended on it. "You wouldn't dare!"
"Why wouldn't I?" Lucinia smiled gently. "You think… I would stop myself from hurting a witch?" she tilted her head and watched as the woman paled. Victoria started trembling as she glared at her.
"You wouldn't dare hurt my mother!"
"And if I will?" Lucinia asked. "Are you going to kill me? No… that was the wrong question." She clicked her tongue. "The right question is; Do you have the capability to kill me? Hmm? Victoria?" She dragged the woman's name on her tongue. "I heard the Queen really hated Witches. What do you think will happen if I cut off your mother's limbs then gift her to the Queen? Do you think she would be worth some… penny?"
"You— How dare you!?" Victoria hissed before she suddenly stood from the bed. But before she could take a step towards her, Lucinia already increased the pressure and watched as the woman fell on the floor. "I — kill you… I will kill you!"
"You think you can?" Lucinia said. "I am a freak of nature, Victoria. You can't touch me even if you want to." Now that Lucinia thought about it, this body is really Overpowered. First was her ability to control blood, and second is… her body's anti-magic properties. Yes, Antimagic. The spells, poisons, and enchantment from witches don't really work on her. "The King should know this… "Wait… Lucinia narrowed her eyes to the woman on the floor. The King sent Victoria here…
No… Victoria's target should not be Mo Li. After all, she can always harm Mo Li back in the mansion. She can always harm him anytime she wanted to as long as he was in the mansion. This could only mean one thing… Victoria's target is not really Mo Li. It was her.
It was her… all along.

Seeking Elysium
Elysium Ling is a returnee. She’s been to an alternate world, coerced into fighting their wars, and somehow returned alive. Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.
