Today, Adeline had unusually skipped the afternoon meeting. Because in her heart, there was something more important than the school celebration meeting.
That was preparing for tonight's service session—to firmly grasp Felyn in her hands.
What was the school celebration for? It was to be able to appear in public together with Felyn.
If Felyn was stolen away by some bad woman before the celebration, what would be the point of all the planning she had done?
Although Adeline deeply believed in Felyn's feelings for her, she was still a bit worried in her heart.
Zervanie wasn't just any ordinary beautiful girl—she was the empire's super popular songstress, and she was particularly good at acting.
If Felyn was even slightly careless, she would take advantage of his vulnerability.
"I really don't know why there are so many girls around Felyn."
Adeline muttered to herself as she walked toward the private car at the school gate.
She had to admit that her experience in romance was almost as zero as that fool Linda's.
Given this situation, past experience naturally led Adeline to think of finding a place where she could learn about romance.
[Serafina's Secrets]
This was Adeline's destination.
As the young lady of the Claude family, Adeline naturally attended many banquets and social events.
She had good relationships with many noble young ladies and knew quite a few people.
This group of noble young ladies loved to have fun, so they also knew about many strange and unusual things.
Once, a young lady who had a decent relationship with Adeline had whispered in her ear: "If you have a man you can't handle, go to this place."
This shop was called "Man's Prison" by the young ladies.
When Adeline had first received the business card for this shop from that young lady, she hadn't paid attention to it—she had only accepted it because she didn't want to spoil her mood.
Back then, she had never thought she would one day have too much contact with men.
But now things were completely different.
"Miss, we've arrived. Do you need me to accompany you shopping?"
The Claude family driver asked from the front seat.
"Thank you, but that won't be necessary."
Adeline didn't tell the driver that she was going to a romance tutoring class—that would be too embarrassing.
Later, Adeline would be extremely grateful that her current decision was correct.
Because right now, she had no idea that [Serafina's Secrets] was an adult toy store, not some romance tutoring class.
She had the driver stop far away from the shop and walked there herself, so no one would discover her.
Adeline took out a concealment seal mask. This high-level seal tool could not only hide her face but even change the wearer's voice.
After walking for about ten minutes, Adeline followed the address on the business card to reach the street corner.
For privacy, the entrance was in a corner that wasn't easy to find, and there were guards at the door.
"I apologize, but we operate by appointment only. Please provide your business card."
Adeline handed over the business card in her hand. She didn't know what level the gold-rimmed card represented.
"Understood. Please wait a moment, I'll contact someone to accompany you inside immediately."
The guard's voice quickly became respectful. He pressed a communication seal, and soon the door was pushed open.
"My lord, please enter. I will serve you from here."
A veiled maid with a good figure came out to greet Adeline.
Adeline followed the veiled maid through a long corridor. With each step deeper, the surrounding environment quietly changed.
At the end of the corridor, a mahogany door inlaid with magic crystals slowly opened.
The entire shop used wine-red as its main color scheme, with silk velvet curtains embroidered with gold thread hanging on the walls, dividing the space into multiple semi-open small halls.
"This way, my lord."
The maid guided Adeline toward one of the small halls.
There weren't many customers in the shop. Each customer had a dedicated attendant beside them, speaking in hushed tones.
All customers wore masks or veils like she did.
"My lord, is this your first time visiting our establishment?"
"Yes."
"In that case, we need to register some information first. This ensures that you can find what you're looking for."
Adeline sat on the sofa in the small hall, watching the maid in front of her activate a sound-dampening seal.
"My lord, the conversation here will be completely confidential, so please tell us your real needs. This will be more accurate."
"Alright."
Adeline began to feel a bit nervous. As the young lady of the Claude family, she naturally had no experience with such things.
"May I ask if the gender of the target for your tools is male?"
Tools? What are tools for?
Although Adeline was a bit confused, she still nodded.
"Have you already established a relationship with him?"
She hesitated for a moment, then gently shook her head.
The relationship between her and Felyn was too complex to be simply summarized with the word "lovers."
"Understood. Does he currently have feelings for you?"
Adeline nodded without hesitation.
After a few more questions, the maid asked Adeline about some of Felyn's characteristics, then briefly left to get the tools Adeline might need.
"These might be the seal tools you want."
The maid gently opened a briefcase, slowly lifting the lid.
Adeline discovered that the case was lined with deep red velvet, with various exquisite small bottles and instruments neatly arranged on top.
"This is a powerful special potion. Just one drop, and he'll be especially wanting tonight." The maid smiled gently: "Unlike the crude drugs on the market, this carefully prepared liquid won't make someone lose their reason, but will intensify their worship and attachment to you. He absolutely won't do anything excessive to you without your permission."
"In other words, he'll be willing to fulfill any of your wishes because of his desire. This kind of conquest is where the real pleasure lies."
What?
Wait? This isn't right, is it?
Could this be a shop that directly conquers men physically?!
Adeline's face behind the mask was already red enough to drip water, but she still maintained her composure.
Well... it's not that it wouldn't work.
After all, Felyn likes me too, and now he might be stolen away by other bad women.
If I use some of these special methods, Felyn should become even more inseparable from me.
But these things are a bit too embarrassing...
"There's also this [Domination Series], with everything from whips to handcuffs, each inlaid with magic crystals. Whether it's luster or hardness, they're absolutely top quality."
Am I supposed to use these things on Felyn? Would he like it?
The maid took out a thin whip, gently caressing it: "Of course, the magic crystals' function isn't limited to this. You would only feel pain, but your body won't bear marks from the whipping."
Wait, I would feel pain?
Could it be that Felyn would use these on me?
This is actually a way to play? Would it really feel good?
Adeline silently turned her gaze away, no longer looking at the briefcase.
"Oh right, there's also this one that's been very popular among young ladies recently—the empathic binding handcuffs."
The maid took out a pair of silver bracelets from the depths of the case, with complex patterns carved on them.
"The wearer can sense the other person's emotional fluctuations, especially that special kind of desire. Many young ladies use it to ensure their beloved only harbors special feelings for them. Of course, this also has special functions. You just need to press here..."
The maid pointed to a small button beside the handcuffs: "If you sense that he's developing inappropriate feelings for someone else, you can press here to shock him, and he'll feel a sharp pain."
Adeline's breathing hitched slightly.
Such an item seemed tailor-made for her current situation.
To be able to sense Felyn's emotions at any time, to know whether he was reacting to Zervanie or other girls...
Adeline looked at the briefcase in front of her, her fingers gently caressing each tool inside.
Should I buy them?
Would these things be too excessive?
But Felyn, he...
Adeline closed the lid of the briefcase.
She had already made her decision in her heart.
