"You dare ask for forgiveness!"

Floriana Sabina shouted back at him in anger.

"I'm really sorry!"

Rant Valo curled his body in the corner and hid his face from her. She was not like the Floriana Sabina that he knew. She was more fierce and scarier. It was the Floriana Sabina of Rant Valo's nightmare.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Not there!! Master Floriana, please stop!"

…

It went on for a while. Only when Floriana Sabina's wrist started to hurt did she stop. Rant Valo's body was already black and blue. Even his mother would find it hard to recognize him now.

"Hahh… Hahhhh… Finally, she stopped…"

Rant Valo panted. His throat was already hoarse from all the shouting that he has been doing.

"Disciple…"

Contrary to his expectations, Floriana Sabina kneeled on the floor and hugged him tightly.

"Ow! Ow! Holy sh*t!! Master Floriana!! Stop torturing me!!"

Rant Valo could feel the bruises on his skin hurt more and more when she started embracing him. He thought that this was another form of her torture.

"Ah, I'm sorry!"

Floriana Sabina released Rant Valo. Her eyes were red for some reason. She pulled a pill bottle from her Storage Ring and got a pill from it. She then shoved it inside Rant Valo's mouth before she continued embracing him tightly.

"Ouch! Ouch. Ou… Oh! It feels better."

Rant Valo was still moaning in pain when his bruises started to heal. It was until he felt even better than what he usually feels.

"What was that pill?"

Rant Valo couldn't help but ask Floriana Sabina, who was in his arms. He could feel that this pill that she just gave him was significantly different than before.

"I-It's a life-saving pill that I keep for myself."

Floriana Sabina answered as she continued cuddling him. Rant Valo could feel her warmth being transferred to his body.

"Master Floriana? Are you okay?"

Rant Valo couldn't help but ask her. He could feel that Floriana Sabina was acting very different compared to before.

"Disciple."

Floriana Sabina called him softly.

"Master Floriana?"

Rant Valo raised his eyebrow as he also replied in a soft voice.

"Do you love me as your Master?"

Floriana Sabina pushed her face away from Rant Valo's shoulders and looked at him in the eyes.

"N-Not anymore. After what you just did."

Rant Valo replied to her with a wry smile on his face. Who would even say that they love her after she just violently tortured them till she was satisfied?

"Mm. I understand. Why don't we start our relationship again?"

Floriana Sabina mumbled to him.

"What do you mean?"

Rant Valo asked her in confusion. She would still be his master no matter what, even though she just treated him violently.

"This time, you and I will be a normal boy and a normal girl."

Floriana Sabina suggested with a smile on her face.

"That doesn't make sense."

Rant Valo answered back. He just became more confused by her words.

"I mean so that we can fall in love with each other…"

Floriana Sabina whispered into Rant Valo's ear. When Rant Valo processed her words, his heart skipped a beat. She couldn't possibly mean that she wanted to start a love relationship with him??

"That… I'm not into kids…"

Rant Valo replied to her. Although his words right now were not even entirely true as he could feel something arise from his heart towards her.

"That wouldn't matter, right? I'm much older than you, while I look very young. You can forget about that problem of yours."

Floriana Sabina tapped Rant Valo on the nose. The aura she was exuding right now was entirely different than what Rant Valo always sees. She felt more womanly right now. The previous Floriana Sabina was a haughty little princess, but she was now a tempting mature princess.

Rant Valo gulped. She was like an enchantress right now. Rant Valo never dreamed that he would see this side of his master.

"Okay."

Rant Valo nodded his head.

Floriana Sabina grinned victoriously and let go of Rant Valo. She stood up and stood in front of him.

"Hmph! Don't you dare touch me now, Disciple. I-I'll only let you touch me after o-our relationship progresses more…"

Floriana Sabina was already back to her old self. Her face to her neck was entirely red from embarrassment.

"Y-Yeah."

Rant Valo blinked his eyes repeatedly. She was acting so different in contrast to what she was like earlier.

"I'll leave you alone, Disciple. Don't you dare not resist Veia's advances. Otherwise, hehehe."

Floriana Sabina bid her farewell with a small 'warning' to Rant Valo.

Rant Valo gulped in fear. He didn't know that his master was actually so scary. He couldn't help but worry for his future.

Rant Valo relaxed and rested his body on the room's walls. He could finally relax now that she was gone. What happened to her? Why did she confess to him? Although Rant Valo could not deny that he did have thoughts about his master, it was still not at the level that he was in love with her.

Soon, Veia came and peeked at Rant Valo. She looked at him curiously.

"Master, are you okay?"

Veia asked him with a worried face. She had been waiting outside for so long, and she couldn't hear anything. Veia didn't know this, but Floriana Sabina actually secretly erected a barrier that prevented Rant Valo's screams from traveling outside.

"Eh? You didn't hear?"

Rant Valo was taken aback. He was screaming so much that it would be weird that she didn't hear about it.

"Hear what, Master?"

Veia became confused by Rant Valo's words.

"Nothing. Forget it."

Rant Valo shook his head. If she didn't hear it, then she might as well not know about it. It would just be embarrassing if he told it to her.

Rant Valo stood up, but to his surprise. Something was different about his body. His muscles were more firm, and every movement of his was filled with power.

"W-What is this?"

Rant Valo looked at his hands in shock.
