I will not die a Villainess's death
Chapter 77 77: The Collapsing Ground [Pt2]

'It hurts. Something is pressing against my ribcage and it's inconvenient to breathe.'

Elysia opened her eyes, only to feel something red drop into them. It burned her and turned the world into a shade of red.

"Y-You are alright, right?"

Adam's voice sounded right beside Elysia's right ear and his hand also cupped Elysia's face to rub the blood away.

'B-Blood? Oh god, Adam is hurt. What should I do now?'

The more Elysia came to her senses, the more she realized that the weight pressing down on her was not the rocks but Adam.

The Crown prince had protected Elysia by putting his body in harm's way.

"W-We need to get the rocks off. You are bleeding and we need to do something about it. M-Medicine. I might have some medicine in my bag and -"

"Calm down Elysia. This much bleeding will not cause me to faint and my body will recover soon as well. I am just glad I was able to reach you in time. You would have been squished otherwise."

Elysia wanted to say that she was not a bug and it would not be easy to squish her like that. But she had no heart to say any of that to Adam right now.

Not when the Crown Prince had taken a huge injury for Elysia.

The pair somehow managed to shake off the rocks from the Prince's back but it was in a bad shape.

"Hey Elysia, can I get a kiss now? I know that the timing is not right but I did take an injury for you. Surely I deserve something in return."

Elysia could feel that Adam was joking when he said those words. He was likely in pain and trying to distract himself from it.

But still, his words made Elysia's heart skip a beat. Even now he was thinking about her and how to make her feel better.

It made Elysia believe that maybe, just maybe he did love Elysia after all.

"What's with that serious face? Come on, smile or you'll be stuck in this boring pose forever. If it is Elysia, I would rather see you always smiling. Your smile puts my heart to ease and-"

Elysia knew it was an impulsive decision but she decided to do it anyway. Her lips met Adam's cheek before she cupped his face and kissed him full on.

The Crown Prince looked frozen in shock, his eyes glazing over before he was taking charge.

The force he used to kiss Elysia took her breath away and she found herself on her back with that now-familiar weight pressing her down. Something hard rubbed against her as well which made her gasp.

And that just gave Adam an excuse to go even harder and deeper into her mouth. His tongue was mapping its territory, its rough texture stimulating places that Elysia had never even felt before.

And just when Elysia felt like she was about to run out of oxygen, she was let go of it.

"Don't tempt me like that out of the blue. Fuck, it's really difficult to hold back right now but I cannot take you here and now. I don't have the necessary supplies and you are not ready as well. Just go out of this cave and give me a few minutes alone."

Elysia was confused why Adam asked this of her. What could it be that he wanted to do alone?

But just a small shift of Elysia's body made her brush up against that hardness of his and Adam looked away from her red-faced.

'Oh? OH! OF COURSE, IT IS THAT. S-Should I offer to help him out?'

"Elysia, out now. Don't offer me something now because I will not be able to stop once I started."

That was all Elysia needed to hear to make her way out. She had heard things about sex and intimacy that made her decide that now was not a good time to even think about it.

This world was dangerous and there was a real danger of everyone dying here. They could not afford to get sick or in disposable.

"I-I'm leaving now. Please tell me once you are done here."

Adam watched Elysia run out of the cave with a pained face. He had realized that Elysia had meant to offer her service to him.

But how could Adam except to take her up on her offer when she was not even ready yet? Her body beneath his hand had been soft but delicate. It would need to be prepared before she could take him.

Adam looked at his hand in wonder, remembering the soft skin under his hand. His other one moved toward the hardness in his pants and took it out.

All his brain could remember was that soft and warm body that belonged to the one he loved. His hand moved all around his hardness, stimulating it as his brain remembered the face of his mate.

'I r-really wanted to let her touch. Her hand would have felt so nice on my hardness. Would have made me come instantly.'

Adam's body was feeling hot but it felt even hotter as he imagined those small and soft hands stroking his penis.

His body shuddered as his hand stimulated his sensitive cockhead as he imagined another part of Elysia taking him in.

'I wonder how her mouth would feel down here.'

Adam had no idea where the image of Elysia taking him in whole into her tiny mouth came from. But he knew that she would choke.

He could even see her black hair bobbing up and down as Elysia tried to take him deeper into her mouth.

'She would have trouble taking me in. I wonder what kind of face Eve would make once she sees me with Elysia like that. I know she would be jealous or maybe she'll be turned on to see Elysia getting fucked? She did look interested before and -'

Adam came into his hand. He had not even realized where his mind had wandered but he came to a sudden realization.

He did not mind sharing Elysia with Eve if it meant that he could mark Elysia up as his own. He still had no romantic or sexual interest in Eve but had to admit that she was good with Elysia.

If it was for her sake then Adam would give the three of them a chance.

But still, the most difficult person to convenience would be Elysia. But she'll come around eventually.

"Ugh, I'm all sticky now. Now let's see what I can do to take care of myself."

______________________________

There was a kid in the cave. The kid looked to be six years old and not healthy. But the kid was alive and kicking which was all that mattered in the end.

"Eve, stay back. We don't know what kind of powers this kid has at his disposal-"

"Nononono. Please don't mind me. I am not a suspicious person at all. I am a friend or well, I hope to be one with the saintess of light and her familiar. You are Eva Rosemary and Sara, right? Whoa, I never expected to meet you here in this world."

The child was proving himself more and more dangerous by the second. Every time he opened his mouth, he spoke something he should not know about.

Not to mention, he was the only person who was alive in this world. And for that very reason, Eve did not trust him.

"Who are you and what is your goal? How do you know about us? Did you send us here? Speak or you will die."

Sara seemed to have reached a similar conclusion as well because her sword was held at ready to kill the child.

But the child panicked seeing that and quickly hid himself behind the nearby rock. He didn't seem to be particularly powerful in that regard.

"N-No, don't kill me. I am harmless and I don't mean any disrespect to you all either. A-Actually, I am in the same boat as you. I somehow ended up in this deserted reality and I have no way to go back home."

The kid didn't seem to be lying but Eve could not take his words at face value. She might be softhearted but Eve was not an idiot. She would not be tricked this easily.

"Let's just assume that you are telling the truth. But you don't feel like someone from our world either since you don't have any magical reside on your body. Then how do you know who we are?"

"T-That? You see, our world had a v-visual nov...no, I mean a story about your adventures and your world. It's not really famous or anything but you people are rather recognizable by your description. I only heard a part of it but I know who you are already."

The kid tried to explain his reasoning behind trusting Eve and Sara but it sounded rather weak even to their ears.

To trust someone based just on a story was ridiculous. But the kid seemed to have no intentions of hurting either of them.

"Fine, I get it. So, what do you want to do now? Do you want to go back to your home?"

"I can't. The person who dropped me here said that I could only go back home if I replace him. He said that there would be people who will come to this place and go with them to their world if I wished to return home. I was really afraid before but now I am not."

"Because you people came to replace me. But aren't you missing someone at your party? The story in my world said that the Crown Prince always accompanied the Saintess but I don't see him anywhere."

Eve wanted to cry out at the question. Why was the kid asking about Adam as well?

'Does that mean that I am paired up with Adam in that otherworldly story as well? Why is this happening?'

"Hey, then what about me? Am I in that story as well?"

"Of course you are. You are a big supporter of the Saintess along with Lord Dirac. You both were really important, Lady Sara."

Sara looked happy to hear that but Eve was curious about something else.

"Then, what about Elysia? I want to know about Elysia."

The kid looked surprised to hear that question but Eve felt equally surprised to hear his answer.

"Elysia? She's dead. She died on her eighteenth birthday if I remember right but it is not something you should worry about."

Eve's blood ran cold at hearing those words. How could she not worry about what she had just heard?
