Chapter 36: Chapter 36 - Alicia’s Punishment

However, before taking his revenge, there was something much more important that Lucius would have to take care of, and that was the punishment of Alicia.

After all, because of her, he had received a bad review on the Multiverse Online Forum.

He wasn’t sure just how bad it was to receive such a thing, but he could tell that it was not good at all.

"I trusted you, and that’s what you did..." Lucius shook his head as he stared at Alicia, who stared at the ground, not daring to look up. "You were the one in charge, and because of your emotions, you decided to make decisions that impacted me negatively."

"I-I’m sorry..." Alicia said as she tried to snuggle her way closer to Lucius and wrap her arms around his waist.

However, before she could, Lucius had moved out of the way.

"Don’t try to hug me. I’m punishing you, which means that our physical contact will be severely reduced until I forgive you."

Alicia’s life practically drained from her face as she heard those words. She couldn’t believe it.

"I-I can’t touch you anymore?"

"Exactly."

Lucius knew that Alicia relied on him a lot, and with Pleasure Fingers, she was bound to crave his touch more and more. That’s why this punishment was actually a good one that would test Alicia, since as time passed, she would beg more and more to be touched and massaged by Lucius.

Because Pleasure Fingers also made it so that no other person would be able to satisfy you once you had a taste of it, which meant that she wouldn’t be able to see anyone else. She could only come back to him.

’It’s gonna be fun to see her beg for my touch...’ Lucius thought with a smirk as he could already imagine the scene in the back of his mind.

"C-Can’t I do something?" she asked, tears forming in the corners of her eyes. "Please... please... please."

Lucius stayed serious. "No, you messed up. You have to be taught a lesson!"

Lucius knew that this was necessary for the greater good. He didn’t like to punish Alicia, but her behavior was bound to become even worse over time if he did not make those decisions.

Aphrodite, who had been listening from a few meters away, smiled at the punishment because it meant that she could have Lucius for herself during the duration of the punishment.

With this thought in her mind, she slowly approached Lucius from behind, wrapping her hands around his waist, hugging him from behind.

"What about me? Can I get a reward?" Aphrodite asked with a cute voice that not a lot of men would be able to refuse.

However, Lucius hadn’t planned on refusing her. After all, everything she had done today had been great.

She had completely humiliated Axel and had even forced him to give her his daughter and 100% of the revenue from the items he would sell. Aphrodite really needed a reward for all those actions, and that gave Lucius an idea.

"Mhm... I guess you would need a reward for your good work. You did help me a lot today. What would you want?" Lucius asked with a smirk, as he already had a good idea of what she would ask.

Aphrodite blushed heavily at those words. ’Ahhhh... why do I like it so much to be rewarded by him~? That’s never happened before to me...’

She couldn’t believe that a human could have such an effect on her. She was blushing because of some words... her, the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite, was blushing because of words spoken by a human.

Even when gods proposed to her, she would coldly refuse them.

’Mhmm... why am I so obsessed with him~?’ she thought with a smile as she knew exactly what she wanted as a reward.

"C-Could I get a..." She blushed even harder, hesitating to speak her mind. "A massage, please?"

Lucius smirked as he turned around and gave her a quick kiss on the lips.

He made sure that Alicia watched as he did so. He wanted to see her reaction when he showed love to another person.

He immediately saw her jaw and fists clench; however, her mouth was still closed, and she did not move.

"Sure, I’ll give you one. Let’s go up to my room..." Lucius said with a smirk as he guided Aphrodite upstairs.

It was time to give Aphrodite her very first thorough massage.

As she walked past Alicia, there was a smile etched on her face, as if mocking Alicia, who could only grit her teeth while watching them go upstairs.

’You bitch! He’s mine~!’ she thought in the back of her mind, the frustration only getting higher and higher. ’Just wait until my punishment is over...’

"Alicia?"

Suddenly, the voice of her master entered her mind, and immediately the look in her eyes softened.

’Is he forgiving me already?’ she thought with hope.

"Yes~?"

"Please come upstairs."

"Coming~!"

Alicia was over the moon as she was called upstairs; all kinds of scenarios appeared in her mind in the process. However, as she entered Lucius’s room... she realized that she hadn’t been called to receive a massage.

He had placed a chair a few meters away from the bed.

"This will be part of your punishment. You will have to sit here and watch as I give Aphrodite her reward. Understood?"

Alicia gulped, trying her best not to rip out Aphrodite’s throat, who was still hugging and moving her hands all over Lucius’s body.

"I-I understand..."

"Good. Make sure to keep your eyes open."

Alicia nodded as she sat in the chair, watching Aphrodite have fun with Lucius.

It was already hard to watch; she couldn’t imagine how bad it would be later when they began the massage.

’W-Why did I act like a bitch... this could have been me!’ she thought in the back of her mind, already regretting her actions.

The punishment Lucius had chosen seemed to be having its effects already.
