" A new life?" croaked Leilani
" Siren can't do much in the case of curses but," Ginny crouched down and placed her hands on Leilani's cheeks, making it look like she was cupping her face. " But we can do a lot when it comes to restoring mana and healing those who have been hurt." Then before Leilani could say anything, Ginny swooped close and kissed her whole on her mouth.
Leilani who was taken by surprise because of what just happened blinked her eyes and started struggling, she was so engrossed in pulling back that she didn't notice the glow that was lighting up her skin.
When Ginny pulled back she coughed and sputtered as she spat out a mouthful of black tar-like liquid from her mouth but that was not Leilani's concern, her concern was obviously the fact that her first kiss was taken away and that too by a woman! Her face turned red in anger and embarrassment, she should have known....she should have known that this girl was here to humiliate her. To think she took advantage of her like this!
" You pervert! hentai! Female lover!" Leilani shouted everything that came to her head as she tried to scamper away from Ginny as her eyes darted to the door and back. " I am telling you don't …don't even think about it, no matter how worse my situation is I will never ..never sell my body!" Her voice turned shrill as a chicken choking on an ear of corn as she shouted putting emphasis on her words. " Never, you hear me? Never!"
As Leilani cursed at her, Ginny coughed the 'bad things' that she has extracted from Leilani's mouth and snapped. " Shut up, at least check your mana core before spouting nonsense, do you think that you are beautiful enough to seduce me?"
Leilani who was not so subtly put down for her looks blinked her eyes looking affronted but she did as Ginny said and sure enough, she felt her mana core flickering with magical energy. Though there were still cracks and fissures in it, it was better than nothing. Leilani breathed in and out as she tried to calm herself down, but even after doing that she was still pretty mad about it, so she glared at Ginny and in a sort of aggrieved voice blamed her. " I am thankful for what you have done for me but will you let me know why did you have to kiss me though? That was my first kiss and you took it away without telling me."
" Sirens are born seducers," was all Ginny said as she wiped her lips with the back of her hands. " And it was my first kiss too, so I think we are all right, right?"
All right? Of course, she wasn't all right! Her first kiss was supposed to be something that she should have enjoyed instead of being scared about being taken advantage of.
" Can you open your bounds now?" said Ginny as she raised one brow, though she could more or less understand that Leilani was upset about losing her first kiss, she did understand the need to be upset about it. After all, it was nothing but a kiss was there a need to make a fuss about it? Because Ginny was someone whose existence was made out of nothing but seduction, she never bothered herself with such things as a first kiss or the first time. As long as she could get what she wanted, she was willing to throw all her firsts away.
" I can," said Leilani as she snapped her fingers and stood up straight from the ground while rubbing her wrists and ankles. She has been tied for an entire week before she was dumped in this cell, it would be a surprise if her limbs didn't get sore. " Now what?"
" If you have recovered enough magical powers then you should create a dummy of yourself and tie her there just like you were," said Ginny as she opened the door of the room and stepped out, though she was used to dirt now, this tower was so dirty it looked like it was made out of dirt and dust. " You can follow me if you want or try to escape if you want to die a horrible death, I will leave the choice to you."
Then without wasting another second, Ginny walked down the stairs and two seconds later she heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind. Once they reached the exit of the tower, Leilani increased her pace and came to walk next to Ginny with a conspiratorial whisper she asked, " What did you mean by a horrible death? You did some sort of mumbo jumbo on me?"
Listening to Leilani's question, Ginny chuckled. " I won't waste my energy on something like that, though I try not to act as a siren, I do like to keep a leisurely time for myself. Using a mumbo jumbo on you would have taken too much power and I wouldn't have liked that, as for why you will die a horrible death, do you think that the Crown Prince would have sent you to a place where you would have had the chance to make a comeback?"
After she heard what Ginny said Leilani's facial expression turned severe and she didn't say anything until they reached the end of the swamp even then except for using a teleportation spell, Leilani didn't say anything else and she continued to be silent until the two of them reached Ginny's house.
" I didn't think that the Crown Prince would still mean something to you, I should have been tactful, my bad," said Ginny casually as she opened the door and pushed Leilani inside before the latter could say anything, her red hair was so conspicuous already and the people of the Empire believed that a woman born with red hair was a witch. If someone saw Leilani then it wouldn't take long for them to connect the dot and create a hullabaloo. This was why she pushed Leilani in before following in.
When she walked in she noticed Leilani staring at her father with a horrified expression, lips quivering she muttered, " Cur...Curse of the living dead?"
