Disappointing Teleportation Magic ~ Even Though The Movement Distance Is Only 1 Millimeter, I Will Rise Through Ingenuity ~ - Chapter 51.3

“Very well. If you are that determined, it would be unkind to tear you apart. I will arrange for Araseli to be adopted by a noble family, so she may marry you as a suitable bride.”

“Thank you. I am deeply grateful for your generous decision.”

This should have resolved everything… but that wasn’t the case.

Bridget, who had been glancing up at me earlier, suddenly glared at me with a sharp, intense look and expressed her displeasure.

“Why… Why not me? Why can’t it be me?”

“I’m sorry. Lady Bridget, you are a very attractive woman, but Araseli is irreplaceable to me. Without her, I wouldn’t have been able to recover from the shock of almost being killed by my comrades. Without her, I would have been crushed by the Wyvern. It was because Araseli was there that I was able to overcome my fear and face the Wyvern. I can’t imagine a life without her anymore.”

“That’s unfair. If you say it like that, I have no choice but to accept it.”

Bridget puffed out her cheeks like a pufferfish, but the dark aura she had earlier had disappeared.

“Mother, I will cancel the procedure.”

“No, you won’t. What on earth are you talking about…?”

Sharlene’s words carried a chilling coldness that sent shivers down my spine.

If I let my guard down, I felt like I might be killed in an instant.

This is bad—I just said no to someone like her.

That’s a level of recklessness beyond anything else.

“You are a member of the royal family, so you must keep your body flawless. With that beauty, that intelligence, and that body, it is your duty to satisfy men and bring prosperity to the Kingdom of Yurefelt. Have I not taught you that? Or have you forgotten?”

“N-no… I haven’t forgotten.”

“Then prepare yourself to undergo the procedure.”

“Y-yes…”

Obeying Sharlene’s commanding words, Bridget began to remove her clothes.

“Wait, are you going to perform the procedure here?”

“Is there a problem? I’ll be present during Bridget’s procedure, so there’s no need to worry about any strange rumors.”

“Understood… I am at your service.”

Bridget’s bruise extended from her left buttock to the base of her leg and then to her groin.

Under Sharlene’s instructions, Bridget got on all fours on the reception table for the procedure.

“Bridget, push your hips out more, or I won’t be able to see the bruise clearly.”

“Y-yes… Mother.”

In this position, her bare bottom was completely exposed to me, and both the front and back were entirely visible.

Moreover, not only was I seeing her, but so were her mother and Ludienne. Bridget’s pale skin turned crimson with embarrassment.

“Now, I’ll proceed with the treatment. Lady Bridget, please try not to move.”

“Y-yes… I understand, so please don’t talk about it.”

“S-sorry.”

“Please… just get it over with quickly…”

Bridget’s voice was barely audible as she spoke, and Sharlene suppressed a laugh, her shoulders shaking.

Yes, the saying ‘like mother, like daughter’ couldn’t be more fitting.

By the way, even though I was in such a precarious situation, Araseli was in a good mood on the way back after the procedure was completed.
