Jean woke up after a while. His head was dizzy, and his body was sluggish. All he could do right now was to look up, staring at the same wooden ceiling. It seemed that he had returned to the same bed after that crazy night with Matthew.

He didn't know what happened because he fainted right after Matthew ejaculated inside him. The last sensation he had was the hot and cold clashing inside his body, his heart was beating in uncontrollable tempo, and then he fainted. 

Jean looked around, he found no trace of Matthew, and he had lost sense of time. He didn't remember how long had he fainted because he could see from his wrist that he had gone considerably thinner since the last time.

[Pupa…]

[Pupa: What?]

[How long have I fainted?]

[Pupa: About three days.]

[Where is Matthew right now?]

[Pupa: He is hunting and gathering food as always.]

Pupa materialized in front of Yunyu, and it scanned Yunyu's body to check on his current condition. 

"Your body has been weakened severely due to exhaustion. But based on my scan, all of your wounds, including inner wounds, have disappeared," Pupa said. 

Yunyu touched his shoulder, and the grievous wound had disappeared. He could also move his body freely, although when he tried to stand up, he got dizzy and fell to the bed once more. 

"Ah, so Matthew really fulfilled his promise to heal my body," Yunyu said. 

"It seems so."

"I wonder if I can use magic as well," Yunyu raised his hand, aiming to the ceiling, then chanted his magic, "Shooting star."





No reaction.

"Dang it! He still blocks my magic!" Yunyu cursed frustratedly. "Pupa, what happened about that heart binding ritual that Matthew talks about before? Didn't he want us to share the same heart?"

"Of course, you already did, apparently," Pupa replied. "But it's not like what I've expected. Matthew's seed stayed inside your body and became sort of tracking divide and self-detonation device for Matthew."

"Now, no matter where you're going, Matthew can find you, and he can also kill you with one grasp of your heart."

"Unfortunately, that white binding inside your body will also block your holy magic. You cannot use your magic unless Matthew allows it."

"So basically, I'm his doll?"

"Yes…"



"AWESOME!" Yunyu yelled out loud. "I can't wait for him to try and bind me back to his embrace because I was trying to run away! Then he would turn me into his sex doll, and we'd have fun all day all night!"

"I was worried about you for a second. Glad I don't need to worry anymore," Pupa rolled its eyes. "What's your next plan?"

"I'm curious about that room."

Yunyu slowly got up from the bed. Yunyu was finally able to stand straight. He looked around and found that Matthew had cleaned everything.

He wanted to check the room where Mathew fucked and painted him simultaneously because he could sense how suffocating it was inside.

He had a feeling that the secret was behind that door. As long as he could see what was inside, then he could get the answers to everything. 

He had been trapped in this place for so long, as much as he loved Matthew, he wanted to see what was really happening outside. 

But when he took just one more step, his feet wobbled, and he fell on the ground face first.

"OUCH!" 

Yunyu grimaced in pain, "Aw, aw…." 

Pupa floated around Yunyu and commented, "Matthew has deliberately set your body so you'll feel dependent on him. You should wait for his return. Maybe you could coax him once more."

"Haish, why do I need to keep being dependent on him? I'm a strong independent hoe!" Yunyu complained, but he knew that he still couldn't do anything and did what he was best at, being dramatic.

Yunyu rolled on the ground just to make him looked dirty. Then he laid there for a while until Matthew returned.

"Jean, I bring chicken today—JEAN!" Matthew dropped the chicken when he saw Yunyu on the ground. He rushed to carry Jean back to the bed."

"Urgh…" 

"Jean, what happened?" 

Jean opened his eyes. The moment his gaze met with Matthew, there was a sense of longing and dependency, "Matthew… I'm sorry. I woke up about an hour ago, and I want to cook something for you because you've been taking care of me for too long."

"But my body is too weak. I can't even get up and walk, even after my wounds has recovered. It seems that your ritual doesn't work as intended, Matthew..."

"I'm a waste, Matthew. I've been nothing but a waste to you…." Jean's eyes started pooling with tears, and he sobbed while looking down, feeling ashamed of himself. 

Matthew wiped the tears with his finger, "No, you shouldn't think like that, Jean. I never saw you as a burden. It's just because of the effect of that ritual."

"It's useless, Matthew. I'm now a useless thing," Jean whimpered. His tears continued streaming down, "What's the point of living if I can't even walk? I thought I could clear my problem by using magic, but I can't use that either."

"What's the point of living if I'm this useless?" 

"W—Well, now you can feel your leg, right? You can also feel your shoulder, I'm sure you will—"

"WILL WHAT? MATTHEW, I'M A WASTE!" Jean snapped. He grabbed Matthew's hand and put it on his neck. "Matthew, can I ask you for one thing?"



"With your magic, I think you can end me, right? I'm too weak to even walk, and I've run out of my magic completely. I don't know if I can continue living like this."

Jean closed his eyes with a bitter smile on his lips. As if he had accepted everything. He looked so desperate and sad. He had lost all his cheeriness of that troublesome Young Master had.

Jean Eau Saumont was nothing but an empty shell right now.

"Please end my misery now. Kill me."
