Chapter 52 Lap Pillow, Drug

In the middle of the night, I woke up suddenly because of the knocking sound that came from the door.

'Who would come to my room at this hour? Lucy? Nah, she would directly speak to me with telepathy if there was any problem. Flora? Is she still furious and wants to attack me at night to devour me? Probably not. So, it must be Alicia.' I thought and looked at Aria.

Aria was curled on top of me like a cat and she was still sleeping even after the knocking sound.

Aria wasn't like this before, she was always on alert but for some reason, she became like a house cat at night. When she is sleeping she rubs her head on me while purring, like a cat.

Fortunately, she does her job normally, or else I would have to find myself a new maid, which is pretty hard to find a maid like Aria. Who has comfortable body to sleep and keep her lust in check.

"Wake up..." I said quietly and nudged her.

Aria's eyes twitched and one of her eyes opened.

"What do you want at this hour master?" Aria murmured and closed her eye.

"Get up and go back to your room i have a guest at this hour." I said and lifted Aria from her armpits.

"I will do that master." Aria said and laid down on me again.

'She get too comfortable with me.' I thought and lifted Aria in a princess carry position and made my way to her room.

While I was carrying her, Aria rubbed her head to my chest and purred.

'She is really like a cat.'

After putting Aria to her bed, I proceeded to open the door and greet my guest.

Well, my guess about the identity of the guest was true.

"Hello Alicia, how are you doing?" I asked and looked at her.

Alicia was in her pyjamas, which was pretty strange, normally she should have worn more normal clothes instead of pyjamas, as she came into a male's room.

I looked at her face. Her face was sunk and there were many dark circles under her eyes. I assumed that she couldn't sleep because of her new trauma and because lack of sleep, her mind probably wasn't working properly, as she came here in pyjamas.

"I am sorry I am bothering you at this hour Kayle." Alicia said quietly.

'Well, at least she knows that she is a bother.'

"What bother are you talking about? Didn't I say to you that I will try my best to help you?" I said with a kind smile and gestured to her.

"Come in and sit on one of the couches."

Alicia slowly walked to a couch and sat down.

I sat beside her and looked at her.

"Are you okay? Do you have any problem with your sleep?" I asked with a slightly worried tone.

Alicia looked at me with a silly smile and nodded.

"Yes, I have. I can't sleep more than 30 minutes, after 30 minutes or less I would wake up with sweat all over me."

'It seems I caused bigger trauma than I intended and I was thinking about causing one more trauma but seeing her state, it is completely unnecessary to cause one more trauma. If she becomes completely dependent on me, it can be problematic, as I need time for my experiments. Though if I corrupt her to accept all of my actions without any problem, it would be better.'

"Did you try to drink warm milk or wash with hot water?"

Alicia shook her head and said.

"I did but they didn't work."

"Then this must be caused by your trauma." I said with a knowing tone and nodded.

"You must be not feeling secure enough to fall into deep sleep." I said as if I understood the root of the problem.

"Come here and put your head on." I said and patted my thigh.

Alicia looked at me with a confused expression, as if she didn't understand my intention. Hence I pulled her head to my thigh, effectively giving her a lap pillow. She didn't resist my pull, as she was very much an idiot right now.

Well, she must consider herself lucky. Not everyone can get a lap pillow from me, as I am a very expensive man.

"What are you doing?" Alicia asked with a confused expression.

"I am helping you to sleep." I said with a serious tone.

"Will this work?" Alicia asked doubtfully.

"It wouldn't hurt to try it." I said and began to caress her hair.

"Mhmm..." Alicia hummed with satisfaction. She was enjoying my gentle caresses.

"It can work but I don't know if I will wake up again." Alicia said quietly and closed her eyes.

After a minute later Alicia fell asleep.

'Will she wake up in 30 minutes as she said? Should I give her a sleeping drug to make her sleep longer? So that she will seek me for comfortable sleep while subconsciously falling for me.' I thought and took out the sleeping drug.

I poured the sleeping drug into a glass of water and opened Alicia's mouth to make her drink it.

Alicia opened her eyes slightly and saw me, who was holding a glass of water.

'It seems she really can't sleep deeply. Should I relax her body more? Maybe she would get addicted to me. I should do that.'

"It is just water Alicia. Drink it slowly." I said with a gentle voice.

"Yeshh..." Alicia said absentmindedly and drank the water. After that, she closed her eyes again to sleep.

10 minutes later I nudged her harshly to control the effect of the drug. Alicia didn't wake up and I looked around to see if there is a butterfly nearby.

Ilelia's butterfly disappeared when I went to sleep after separating from Flora, but I wanted to be sure that Ilelia wasn't watching me right now, as I was about to do something that can be considered a crime that she wouldn't like it.

After confirming that there wasn't any butterfly in this room, I slowly removed Alicia's pyjamas, as I didn't want to get them wet and slowly slid my hand to her crotch.
