The Nameless Crown
Chapter 16 - Blood Contract

The castle started to rumble violently. The clock tower to the right of the castle collapsed, the forests below fell, and Oz could hear the panic of the knights who were coming here.

Hearing Vlad's last request, Oz immediately rushed back into the castle to look for the woman.

Vlad had thrown something into his head. He said that the woman was on the second floor, in a room that was quite luxurious. He also said the woman could not die at all like her, meaning she was immortal.

The woman also had a nickname given by the surrounding people, that nickname was the Immortal Witch. Which means she's a witch who can't die.

It's true what Vlad said about the curse.

Finally, Oz reached the room, and he opened the door. Because the door was locked from the inside, Oz finally kicked the door down and slammed.

Although faint he could see a woman in there. He was sitting with both legs spread out into the letter W to the back. He had hair as white and pale as Vlad's.

She wore a bright red One Piece dress around her lower chest and lower body. Because the dress does not cover the skin and other parts of the body. Oz soon calms himself down and approaches him before the castle is completely destroyed.

As soon as he reached the place of the woman, he was quite sad to see her facial expression which showed absolutely no sense of desire to live.

His golden-yellow eyes were hollow and had no light in them. Although her face is fairly beautiful, her condition is now more like a mannequin doll that is intact and complete using a dress.

“Are you okay?”

The woman's face moved little by little, her two empty eyes now looking at Oz who was in front of her.

“S-s-who's k-k-you?... ”

“Oz, that's my name.”

Even his voice was like that, fragile, and powerless.

“Are you okay?” oz repeated the words he had previously asked.

“I? Heh... huh... me?”

Seeing his condition like that, Oz just held both shoulders. That soft and comfortable sensation he could immediately feel. Her skin was clean and both of her cheeks were now turning red.

Before that he screamed and made Oz almost tumble backwards.

“DO NOT TOUCH ME... EKKK!!! DON'T COME NEAR ME AGAIN, IF YOU APPROACH ME AGAIN I WILL KILL MYSELF!!!”

Oz was undaunted and he approached the woman bit by bit.

“I TOLD YOU NOT TO COME NEAR ME AGAIN! THEY'RE... THEY THREW ME HOT STONES, DIRT, TORE ME UP AND SAID I WAS A DAMNED WOMAN WHO BROUGHT DISASTER! I'LL REPAY THEM ALL... SO DON'T COME NEAR ME!!! OR I'LL KILL MYSELF—“

In his left hand a kitchen knife was ready to pierce his own esophagus. However, his hand shook violently and in the end the knife fell down. He began to cover his face with both hands.

Not long after that, he cried. Oz approached him quickly, calming him down a few times, but it was all for nothing.

“Tchh .. There is no other way, if the knights find you they will surely torture and humiliate you. Vlad... forgive me.”.

Oz raised the woman's face and slapped her hard. A small screech rang out, as the woman regained her composure. He also looked at Oz with his dark yellow eyes while holding the right cheek reddened by the slap.

He could not believe .. once again he had to feel a stinging pain in one part of his face.

“A-APA—“

Before he returned to express what he thought with the bitterness of the life he suffered. Oz had already locked his mouth with a warm and exciting kiss.

The two of them then exchanged saliva. Upon returning to his original consciousness, Oz releases the kiss.

“What are you now aware of! Don't just shut up, we have to leave this place immediately.”

The woman was still speechless with a face that was flushed red from the hot kiss earlier. Oz gave a small peck and then immediately carried the woman. However, both of his legs were covered by a wide blanket apparently bound by a sizable chain.

Once again Oz sighed softly and then broke the chain with his right hand. His eyes turned red and he had black wings on his right back.

Oz strengthened his footstroke and finally flew far up. The roofs that blocked his path instantly were also destroyed.

Now together with the woman who was in the arms of a princess. They both look at each other. The woman who had put her arms around her chest began to embrace Oz's neck and look at him with hope.

“You better not do something like that again. If you're like that again, then maybe my late friend will be sad to see it.”

The full moon that had changed color has now returned to how it was. The castle began to disintegrate bit by bit, collapsing along with the cliff that helped it to stand. Connecting bridges break off and collapse into the ravine.

Forest of death or known as the forest of the dead began to fall one by one. The panic of the knights sounded in Oz's ears.

Not long after that she opened her mouth quietly for the first time.

“M-why did you save me? You better hand me over to the royal side to be purified” immediately

“Shut! or not I'll lock my mouth again”

“I don't mind,” he said gently shyly.

Then the woman kissed Oz again for a few seconds, her face red again, but not a bruise or cut. His two hollow eyes began to show light within. His trembling body started to recover and calmed down again.

Oz felt what it was like to be kissed by a woman. His life had always been a mess because of the black wings on his right back.

“Then I will return asking for a second time, why did you save me?”

“After defeating the evil king isn't a hero worth a reward?”

The woman gave a small laugh as she closed her eyes.

“Now it is my turn to ask. Why are you so easy to just give up your life?”

“That's because I can't die and the people who used to be next to me one by one leave me “

“Hmm, so?”

“Do you have no sympathy?”

“So your mouth women don't know themselves. I helped you not because of gifts or the same intentions like that, it was all because of the request of my late friend.”

When Oz says that in a flat, expressionless tone, the woman in his carrier begins to slowly squeeze her body into Oz's body. His breathing panted while looking at Oz's cold face.

“I thought it would be like this .. I don't want to feel that way anymore, but I can't seem to avoid it. You better be responsible for me~”

Then for the third time the woman kissed Oz with heat. The two hands that were embracing Oz's neck began to tighten and bring the kiss closer together so that it did not end quickly.

As soon as it was done Oz looked shocked while the woman was still embracing the neck of Oz was very strong.

“Isn't this weird?”

“Hmmm“

“Ah. Oz... You can call me, Lilith.”

Lilith smiled gently at Oz who was still astonished by the behavior that was so suddenly changed.

“Oh... I understand, then why are you the one who previously screamed when I touched and was about to commit suicide to be like this?”

“Because you gave me warmth”

“That's it, huh!?”

Lilith nodded slowly.

“Before I was always harassed and always hurt by humans, but now I am protected and also carried by humans?”

“It looks like you misunderstood. I'm not entirely human.”

A wry smile put on Oz's face and he looked at Lilith doubtfully.

“Ara! I see, is it?”

“You can see for yourself right, my wings?”

Lilith immediately changed her attention. Now he saw a black wing layered in grey red. His eyes widened and he let go of his embrace.

“Ahhh.

“Huhh. You didn't listen to me at all”

“However, having wings like this, shouldn't you appreciate that?’

From his easy words, Oz was quite impressed because Lilith praised his wings even though he did not want them.

“Alright go back to the original topic, after this I am not sure I will take you with me”

“Huh? T-t-but—“

Oz shook his head slowly.

“Your life will probably be more dangerous than it is now”

“I've experienced it, so please take me with you.”

Once again Oz shook his head at the sign of rejection. Lilith seemed to be unable to do anything about it, as Oz's decision had already been overwhelming. He will not be able to change it again just because of trivial things.

“Please I'll be whatever you want, slave, maid, any toy j-j-so take me with you.”

Lilith is desperate to be with Oz. However, Oz only looked at it coldly. From both of her eyes did not have any desire to bring a woman as beautiful as Lilith with her.

At that instant Lilith muttered something and Oz noticed.

“What are you muttering!?”

When the two of them exchanged glances, suddenly Oz could not control his lust. Two fairly long fangs appeared on his upper jaw.

His eyes lit up red, he tried to rebel but unfortunately he couldn't and that's why he's now starting to get close to Lilith's neck.

Lilith's face started to get excited, her pupils widened, her face reddened and her breathing panted like exhaustion.

“Come, darling~”

In his innermost heart, Oz truly hated this kind of situation. If he who is a mixture of half-human and vampire bites Lilith's neck, then he will make it his own.

His entire body, soul even his nature would be his.

Oz tried to hold back and he tried to keep his face away from Lilith's neck. As soon as her mouth opened and both fangs touched the side of Lilith's neck, her heart beat.

Cold sweat came out from all over Oz's body at that moment. He almost planted both fangs and harvested Lilith's blood, fortunately he was able to survive and he also looked exhausted.

Lilith's eyes widened and she looked at Oz in disbelief.

“Don't ever m-try h-h-al like that lag-again... d-basic fool!”

“T-impossible, how did you escape my binding magic!?”

“I'm not that easy you connect ... Lilith!”

Lilith was gloomy and could do nothing more. The binder magic that got Oz out of control did not make him act aggressively at all.

Finally Oz flew away from the castle and went somewhere with Lilith. Lilith who was silent because of what she wanted not to happen had to feel heavy hearted about staying alone.

After a few minutes had passed, the two of them arrived at a large lake. The clear water that reflects the color of the night sky is so beautiful. The silhouette shadow of the full moon was even clearly visible above its surface.

Oz drops Lilith off, she turns around and when she wants to fly back. Suddenly he was stopped by two soft hands that were embracing his body.

“Lilith!? Let go of me right now, you can still live a normal”

“What do you mean!? Leaving me alone here, I was scared .. I was scared because I was going back to being alone!”

His body trembled slightly as his hands tried to stop Oz.

“You can certainly... Among thousands of—no, among billions of men surely you will find a more suitable than myself. You better let me go before I “play” your body,” Oz said coldly.

Lilith sobbed, her beautiful face now buried in a stretch of solid back belongs to Oz.

“I don't care! Just do as you please!”

Oz instantly turned around, then pushed Lilith until her body hit the ground. Lilith slightly shrieked with a face still covered in tears.

“See you alone are still shaking like that!.”

When Oz is about to play tricks on her body, he stops her immediately and goes back to walk to leave Lilith on her back crying.

“You should immediately look for new clothes or not other men who find you will make you as his toy.”

Seeing the trembling Lilith, Oz immediately took off the shabby black robe to wear to Lilith.

He sighed softly because of the hassles of seeing Lilith's strange behavior. Ever since Oz kissed her, her nature changed drastically. From being initially dissident and disobedient to being submissive and affectionate.

Once again Oz sighed, a woman's heart is complicated, he thought.

After that he left Lilith who still had a face.

“It looks like this is going to be harder.”

In the darkness of that night Oz flew across the dark clouds freely.

“Huhh... earlier it was almost, my first kiss was nothing like what I imagined.”

While muttering to himself Oz increased his flying speed. Only a few minutes now he has arrived in a fairly crowded countryside. However, there was no activity there, because at that time the night was completely dark.

The hanging lanterns lit up dimly. Oz goes around looking for an inn where he rests. He will use the pretext of being an adventurer or use his job identity as a Priest to avoid strange questions.

Just a few walks around a shower and Oz sees a pretty promising house. He immediately ran there with his dirty clothes, torn and tattered.

When Oz got there he was immediately questioned by the innkeeper, fortunately he used a plan that he had previously prepared.

The room where he rests is room 2.1 which means it is on the second floor at the right corner. After he opened the door, Oz jumped onto the white bed with a black blanket and the clothes were still on his body.

Evening was not felt and morning had come to pick up a new day. Oz woke up stretching out his hands. However, he felt a sensation that he had never felt.

“Why is my body heavy!?”

In a hurry he immediately revealed the blanket from above his body. A completely beautiful half-naked female figure fell asleep on top of her body. Around his mouth was blood and his hands were embracing Oz's body from top to bottom.

“LILITH!?—akh!”

Upon realizing that it was Lilith, Oz's lips ached and as he touched it, a thick red blood was seen sticking to his index finger.

“I-this is impossible!”

When Oz is shocked, Lilith wakes up and beats Oz from above. On his smooth white stomach was a circle of seals that was so unique. The circle with two inverted hexagons in the center turned back to each other and moreover the seal emblem was bright red.

Lilith yawns so widely and makes*********** expand for a few moments. It was then that Oz looked at the woman now on top of him in disbelief.

“Ah... Honey, apparently you've woken up~”

That carefree and gentle tone instead of giving peace to Oz. But a deep stab right into his heart.

“A-what are you doing!?”

“I just made a contract with you, is that not allowed?~”

“Ughhh!!”

The face of defeat has been gained by Oz and since then the two of them have continued together. The contract that made Lilith have to obey Oz's orders. A contract between the employer and the servant.

However, for a Lilith who had the nickname Immortal Wicth to be a servant was not a heavy thing. His love for Oz is deep. I don't know what happened but the taste bloomed back in Lilith's heart.

And moreover, Lilith's golden-yellow eyes turned blood-red just like Oz's half-vampire version.
