Aren’t You Curious About What’s Next?

Elise used to touch Benji’s hair when she wasn’t feeling well. She felt better when she buried her fingers in his soft brown hair and stroked here and there. So, asking her to touch his head was clearly Benji trying to comfort her.

‘What have I done to such a nice person? What on earth—?’

As Elise’s guilt, which she had been ignoring for so long, flooded in, she was able to muster up the courage and aloofness to serve their bounds.

‘Right. This is really the end.’

When she made up her mind and stood up, Benji raised his face to look at her. Although his body was as big as a bear his anxious face resembled a harmless herbivore.

“What’s wrong, Master?”

‘Why are you so sweet and kind? That’s why I took advantage of you.’

“Leave.”

Elise stared into Benji’s pure eyes and spoke shortly. She had planned what to say dozens of times in her head intending to explain it in a way that even the most obtuse Benji could understand but the only thing she said out loud was the conclusion. It was because her throat began to hurt and she couldn’t bring herself to talk much when she tried to explain the situation.

Benji’s face twitched strangely. Elise reversed everything she planned to say.

“It’ll be enough to make a living.”

Elise handed over the jewelry box as if she were tossing it over to him and turned her head away. She no longer had the confidence to look at Benji’s face.

“What do you mean, Master?”

“Leave, meet your loved ones, build a family, and live happily.”

The more Benji’s voice shook, the colder Elise responded. Otherwise, her resolve to uphold her difficult pledge threatened to be ruined at any moment.

“Did I do something wrong?”

Benji followed her gaze, kneeling down in front of her and looking up at her. His innocent shaking eyes were trembling wildly. Elise let out a shallow breath she didn’t know she was holding. There was no way she could avoid an explanation.

“You didn’t do anything wrong.”

“But why….”

“There’s no poison. I lied. So please leave.”

Should she have said more while confessing her sin? The desire to fall into a hole and die, regret, and her low self-esteem collided causing Elise to shout.

“So, you lied to me because you were curious what it would feel like to have someone go down on you after you read your book?”

“Huh? Uh …”

Benji’s voice changed instantly. The dull, soft, slow slurred, but pleasant voice promptly took on a bleak and cool gleam. At the same time, there was a simmering heat boiling up from the depths.

‘By the way, did I mention the book? I don’t think I did.….’

Even after answering unexpectedly, Elise’s eyes fluttered in embarrassment. After tilting his head and quenching his dry lips, Benji rummaged through Elise’s drawer and bed angrily.

‘What are you doing? Could it be that you feel this is not enough? That can’t be.’

It was only small jewels, but it was worth enough for a commoner to buy a small house, play and eat for the rest of their life.

Elise licked her lips wondering how to tell him that this was quite expensive, as Benji snatched a thin book that he found deep under the bed.

It was the same book that had Emma running out to look for her boyfriend in the middle of the night, and Elise called Benji to do something bad.

There was a bookmark in it because Elise hadn’t managed to read it all yet. Whenever she had tried to read it, her lower abdomen ached and Benji was called, so she couldn’t finish it. The bookmark had always remained on the same page since that day. Thanks to this, Benji, who easily found the wrinkled pages as if time was burning, began to read the type in a languid voice:

“He buried his lips in her p*ssy. When he stretched out her delicate flesh and licked her lab*a which no one had touched before, and when rubbed his white tooth against her clitoris her back bent like a crescent moon. She shed tears of joy. Even if she died right at this moment she had no regrets. A heaven, which she would never feel again in her life, unfolded under her. Two breaths elicited at their cl*max intertwined under the darkness…….”

‘Oh my. He must be crazy. How could you read that out loud?’

Elise closed her eyes and covered her ears in embarrassment. Then I opened my eyes and looked at Benji.

“You… You! Did you know how to read?!”

It was a stupid question.

‘You just saw it. No—I guess I heard?’

Regardless, Elise’s eyes and ears had confirmed that Benji knew how to read.

‘No,—what the hell— when? No, how? Who taught Benji how to read?’

This was also a foolish question. People believed Benji was an idiot. She could not imagine any of the mansion’s people dedicating time and energy to teach Benji letters.

‘No, he can’t even speak well.’

Until a few weeks ago, he was a child who only knew how to say: “Yes, master.” He had quickly improved his speaking skills and soon began to understand well, but he couldn’t have studied reading alone in the meantime, which would take a year.

‘Then maybe…….’

With one remaining assumption, Elise fell deep into contemplation. It was an unbelievable conclusion. No, she never wanted to believe it.

Looking at Elise, Benji raised the corners of his mouth sullenly.

“Aren’t you curious about what’s next?”

He lifted her chin with his long fingers. As he leaned towards her, his approaching sharp eyes shined intensely–completely incompatible with his normal demeanor. Even his usually innocent and slightly ajar mouth was now drawing up a powerful smirking arc.
