«Seriously?! What do they feed you here?»

Juno had long known that her “master” spent almost all his time in the hidden library. She headed off there, hoping that Flitz would follow her. She had no restrictions on visiting Kyon. She was forbidden to bring anyone, but she wasn’t taking anyone on purpose. Flitz was following her himself! Juno had discovered her extraordinary ability of self-deception. No one but Kyon would appreciate it, though. And he wouldn’t pat her on the head for this new talent of hers. Well, he wouldn’t ever pat anyone anymore.

When Juno approached the passage to the library, the "master" was just leaving.

«What are we doing here?» – Kyon inquired, sneering. Then he stood petrified. There was Flitz behind the girl’s back! He looked rather unhealthy, a skeleton wrapped up in the skin.

When Juno had accomplished her plans, she turned around royally, her gray skirt blew up with the centrifugal force as if emphasizing her invisible wings. She went to the door, pleased with herself, and poked the stunned old man with her elbow in the side on her way out.

How convenient... Just in two meters around the turn, she wouldn’t meet anyone. Her chains would weaken. She put her fingers in her ears and hurried to hide. Even if her master came to his senses and shouted an order after her, he wouldn’t have time to stop her. She would not hear him.

Flitz rubbed his eyes, dazed. Was he seeing things? Was it a ghost in front of him?

«You are alive! It’s a few weeks already! But hooooow?!» – A chicken egg could easily fit into his shocked open mouth. He couldn’t believe his eyes.

Kyon could hardly hold back his confusion and surprise. Juno had pulled another stunt! How did she do it?! Should he keep her on a chain so that she stopped playing tricks on him?! Why didn’t his stable formation work on her?! Someone like Dinah would never overcome a formation a hundred times of lower quality, but this trouble-maker had already done it twice! It couldn’t go on like this. He had to do something.

Kyon was still calm... What a stupid girl! He had a sound transmitter. He could call her anytime and give her an order that would destroy all her plans at once. He thought she was smarter. He was a bit disappointed in her.

«Mr. Flitz, it was so nice of you to give me to the lady who didn’t leave a living place on me day by day. Fortunately, she had seen some abilities in me and didn’t let me perish. By the way, are you not ashamed?»

The old man finally closed his mouth and rubbed his tired eyes with black bags under them.

«Ashamed? Me? You wish… I am ashamed only before my unborn children! As for you, I was sure the young lady wouldn’t kill you.»

His words were flattering, but Flitz kept his eyes averted.

Kyon wanted to snort indignantly at his blatant lie, but he convinced himself it was better not to go too far. He was still just a servant.

At the next moment, Flitz’s face darkened. He said in the tone of an exasperated and tired boss:

«You’ve survived, that’s alright. Rejoice while your balls are in the place. Speaking of which, today you are going to become a eunuch. Don’t worry, little will change for you. You must have already understood by now that Evilball is too evil for your libido. So, there’s nothing to lose. Follow me while I am still kind.» – The old man waved to him invitingly and went to the exit from the mansion.

Kyon froze, speechless. {Little beast! How did she do it?} A vein popped out on his forehead. However, he got it together, took out the sound transmitter and dialed the desired frequency.

Flitz noticed that the slave was not following him. He turned questioningly, saw the sound transmitter in Kyon’s hands and recalled Juno’s request. He lazily approached Kyon and snatched the device out of his hands.

«I have to confiscate this.»

Kyon protested indignantly:

«The lady gave it to me! It’s mine! Give it back!»

«Is it a fly buzzing in my ear? Should I swat it?! If I’ve taken it away, it has to be done! Juno has asked me to. I guess she can’t stand your mournful squeak about the lost testicles! And now follow me the easy way, or I will make it the hard way.» – The old man growled, turning again in the right direction.

Flitz made it clear that he was out of sorts, annoyed, exhausted, and he would be happy to strangle someone. He was not to argue with him.

Kyon bit through his lip, exhaled convulsively, and followed the old man. He had a weird feeling... He thought that Juno was an idiot, and the little devil had foreseen everything!

{Bitch... if... If I lose them… You... You'll pay all your life for that} - Kyon was fuming with fury like a waking volcano. How could he have underestimated the patriarch’s granddaughter? The little piece of shit wouldn’t accept the fate as a slave. He thought that after her last humiliation in the fight and being a victim of harassment, she would be afraid to oppose him. He had pulled all her strings, and she decided to cut off the root cause of his possible lust.

She was insane, crazy, unhinged! What the fuck was the point to cutting off his balls if he was still alive?! It's like pushing the hated enemy from the bridge when you are closely tied together! It’s absurd. Her action defied all reason. It was beyond Kyon’s understanding. And yet, he saw in her a piece of his beloved self. Kyon was about to let out a stream of swear words and spine-chilling curses. He would never surrender, just like her. But the current situation wasn’t getting any better. It drove him crazy!

Kyon was shaking from the desire to strangle Juno's neck. Only, he couldn’t escape from Flitz under his own steam, and Juno, the pain-in-the-ass must have hidden well. He could try and talk to the old man and convince him that she was only joking.

«Lady Juno is kidding, sir! She is always making fun of me. She didn’t seriously ask you to castrate me! Haha! Please don’t believe her. You probably have more important things to do, right?!» - Kyon tried to talk some sense into the old man.

«If so, then she must know that I have no time for joking! Now, would you please shut up. All this nonsense is giving me a headache.» - Flitz grunted. He was under orders, and orders are no joke.

They had just come up to the front door.

Kyon was averse to the idea of going somewhere, and even more so, losing his dear... The familiar feeling of helplessness was growing in his heart. It wasn’t for the first time that Juno was the reason for feeling this way. She was the root of evil.

«Sir... Juno…»

«One. More. Word. And I will wring your neck, puppy. I swear by my mother.» - The old man said coldly, without turning around.

Kyon opened his mouth, choking with anger. He was to be executed in a way, and he couldn’t change anything. He believed that she would heed to his threat, but she didn’t.

{I’d kill her right now… How did she do it?!} – Kyon was absolutely confident in his subjugating formation, and yet, the little devil had somehow bypassed it. The sly girl had deceived her subconscious! She wasn’t supposed to...

Kyon, pale as a ghost, and Flitz full of determination left the mansion. They were heading for the hospital. The guards knew their work well. They deleted the couple from the log after they carefully checked the visitors’ formations.

Yegorka couldn’t believe his eyes. He froze in surprise when he saw the slave leave Juno’s mansion. {It’s unthinkable! Where is the burn on the slave's face?!}

Yegorka got intoxicated with an unquenchable thirst for blood. He was one of the most promising practitioners of his generation and he was not allowed into the mansion. The guards had beaten him up and threw him away practically into the dumpster. It all happened because of this scum!

When Kyon saw Juno's approaching admirer, he frowned even more. {Ugh, skunk... Have you been waiting here, or what?}

«Who do I see?! The walking dead?!» - Yegorka grinned maliciously and rushed into the attack, his fist ablaze with fire. He intended to smudge the slave’s boiling brains over the asphalt.

The swing speed was so great that his fist looked like a blurry orange spot.

Kyon concentrated and prepared to dodge. He would hardly manage with his speed, though...

Fortunately, Flitz stopped Yegorka’s fist with his bare hand and whacked him hard. «Get your hands off other people's things!» - The old man snapped and suppressed the attacker with the pressure of his developed soul.

Yegorka flinched, scared. Powerful pressure that squeezed his body reminded him it was the respected Flitz in front of him. He had completely forgotten about him in a fit of rage.

«I'm sorry, sir. I am Juno’s friend... This slave... He must die! It’s personal. I am willing to pay you money for his life, whatever the cost!»

Kyon swallowed and turned his eyes to the elderly formacist.

Flitz snorted. «I don’t care whose friend you are. And your affair with the slave is not my concern. He is getting castrated today, and that’s it. Have fun with him in the next life. Piss off, until I kicked the hell out of you, sucker!»

Yegorka looked at the slave, overwhelmed. «Castrated?!» - His confusion gradually gave way to gloating. - «Ha! Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha-ha!»

The mean laughter grated on Kyon’s ears. He felt the urge to punch the idiot on the nose, but he was worried about something else. «Dear Mr. Flitz, can I make just one call to her highness? I assure you she will be grateful for not selling me…»

«I don’t give a shit about her, you, anyone! Just shut up before I kill you all!» - The old man snarled furiously and walked fast to the hospital.

Kyon hurried after the formacist. He had no desire to stay near crazy Yegorka. {The brainless slug... First, he saves me twice, then almost kills. Now he has attacked me again. Oh, the fickle teenage heart!}
