Chapter 76

«Seriously? What do you eat here?»

Juno knew that her "master" spent almost all his time in the hidden library. She had no restrictions on visiting Kyon, so that's where she headed off in the hope that Flitz would follow her. Actually, Juno was forbidden to bring anyone to the library, but she wasn't taking anyone on purpose. Flitz was following her himself! Juno had discovered her exceptional talent of self-deception, but no one except Kyon could appreciate it, and he wouldn't pat her on the head for this new skill of hers. Well, soon he wouldn't pat anyone anymore.

When Juno approached the passage to the library, the "master" was leaving.

«What are we doing here?» – Kyon inquired, sneering and stood petrified: there was Flitz behind Juno's back! He looked rather unhealthy like a skeleton wrapped up in the skin.

Achieving her goal, Juno turned around, her gray skirt blowing up with the centrifugal force as if emphasizing her invisible wings. She went to the door, pleased with herself, poking the stunned old man with her elbow in the side on her way out.

How convenient... There was no one just two meters around the turn, where her chains would weaken. She put her fingers in her ears and hurried to the safe place. Even if her master came to his senses and shouted an order after her, he wouldn't have time to stop her. She would not hear him.

Flitz rubbed his eyes, dazed. Was he seeing things? Was it a ghost in front of him?

«You are alive! It's been a few weeks already! But how?» – A chicken egg could easily fit into his open mouth. Flitz couldn't believe his eyes.

Kyon could hardly contain his confusion and surprise. Juno had pulled another stunt! How did she do it? Should he keep her on a chain so that she stopped playing tricks on him? Why didn't his stable formation work on her? Someone like Dinah could never break a formation even a hundred times of lower quality, but this trouble-maker had already done it twice! It couldn't go on like this. He had to do something with her.

Kyon remained calm... What a stupid girl! He had a sound transmitter, after all. He could call her anytime and give her an order that would destroy all her plans. Kyon thought she was smarter. He was a bit disappointed in her.

«It was so nice of you to give me to the lady who beat me to within an inch of my life day after day. Fortunately, she appreciated my talents and didn't let me die. You should be ashamed of yourself!»

Flitz finally closed his mouth and rubbed his tired eyes with dark circles under them.

«Ashamed? Of myself? You wish… I am ashamed only for my unborn children! As for you, I was sure the young lady wouldn't kill you.»

Flitz's words sounded flattering, but he avoided Kyon's eyes.

Kyon wanted to snort indignantly at this blatant lie, but he knew better than that. He was just a servant after all.

Flitz's face darkened. He said in the tone of an exasperated, tired boss:

«You should be grateful you're still alive and in one piece. Speaking of which, today you are going to lose your balls. Don't worry, it will change nothing for you. You must already know that Evilball is really evil for your libido. So, there's nothing to lose. Follow me while I am still kind.» – Flitz waved to him and went to the front door.

Kyon stood rooted to the spot, speechless. {Little beast! How did she do it?} A vein popped out on his forehead, but he got it together, took out the sound transmitter and dialed the desired frequency.

Flitz noticed that the slave was not following him. He turned questioningly, saw the sound transmitter in Kyon's hands and remembered Juno's request. He lazily approached Kyon and snatched the device out of his hands.

«I have to confiscate this.»

Kyon protested indignantly:

«The lady gave it to me! It's mine! Give it back!»

«Is it a fly buzzing in my ear? Should I swat it? If I've taken something away, it has to be done! Juno has asked me to. I guess she didn't want to hear your mournful squeak about the lost testicles! Now follow me, or you will regret it.» – Flitz growled, turning again towards the door.

Flitz made it clear that he was annoyed, exhausted and would be happy to strangle someone. He was not to be messed with.

Kyon bit his lip and followed Flitz with a deep sigh. He had a weird feeling... He thought that Juno was an idiot, and the little devil had foreseen everything!

{Bitch... If... If I lose them… You... You'll pay with your life for that} - Kyon was fuming like a waking volcano. How could he have underestimated the patriarch's granddaughter? The little piece of shit wouldn't accept being his slave. He thought that she would be afraid to go against him after she was beaten and harassed. Kyon had pulled all her strings, and she decided to cut off the root cause of his possible lust.

She was insane, crazy, unhinged! What was the point of cutting off his balls if he was still alive? It was like pushing the hated enemy from the bridge being closely tied together! Absurd. Her action defied all reason. It was beyond Kyon's understanding. And yet, he had to admit he would have done the same. He would have never surrendered, just like her. Kyon was about to let out a stream of swear words and spine-chilling curses, but it wouldn't change anything. It was really infuriating!

Kyon was shaking from the urge to strangle Juno's neck. Only, he couldn't run away from Flitz under his own steam, and Juno must have hidden well. What if he tried to convince Flitz that Juno was just kidding him?

«Lady Juno didn't mean it, sir! She is always making fun of me. This time she asked you to castrate me as a joke! Haha! Please, don't believe her. You probably have more important things to do, right?» - Kyon tried to talk some sense into Flitz.

«She must know that I have no time for joking! Now, would you please shut up. All this nonsense is giving me a headache.» - Flitz grunted. He was under orders, and orders were no joke for him.

They had approached the front door.

Kyon didn't want to go anywhere, and even more so, to lose his precious balls... The familiar feeling of helplessness was growing in his heart. It wasn't for the first time that Juno had been the reason he felt this way. She was the root of evil.

«Sir... Juno…»

«Another. Word. And I will wring your neck, puppy. I swear by my mother.» - Flitz said coldly, without turning around.

Kyon opened his mouth, choking with anger. He was to be executed, and he couldn't change anything. He believed that Juno would heed to his threat, but she didn't.

{I'd kill her right now… How did she do it?} – Kyon was absolutely confident in his subjugating formation, and yet, the little devil had somehow bypassed it. The sly girl had deceived her subconscious! She wasn't supposed to...

Kyon and Flitz left the mansion and headed for the hospital. One was pale as a ghost, the other was full of determination. The guards knew their job - they carefully checked the visitors' formations and deleted both of them from the log after they left.

Yegorka couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the slave leave Juno's mansion. {It's unthinkable! Where is the burn on his face?}

Yegorka got intoxicated with an unquenchable thirst for blood. The most promising young Stone was not allowed into the mansion. The guards had beaten him up and thrown him nearly into the dumpster. It all happened because of this scum!

Kyon frowned when he saw Juno's admirer. {Ugh, skunk... Have you been waiting here, or what?}

«Who do I see?! The walking dead!» - Yegorka grinned maliciously and attacked Kyon, his fist ablaze with fire. He would smudge the slave's boiling brains all over the ground.

The swing speed was so great that Yegorka's fist looked like a blurry orange spot.

Kyon concentrated and prepared to dodge, but the chances were too slim. He was too slow for that...

Fortunately, Flitz stopped Yegorka's fist with his bare hand and gave him a hard whack. «Keep your hands off my stuff!» - He snapped and suppressed the attacker with his pressure.

Yegorka flinched, scared. Powerful pressure that squeezed his body reminded him that it was the respected Flitz. Yegorka had completely forgotten about him in a fit of rage.

«I'm sorry, sir. I am Juno's friend... This slave... He must die! It's personal. I am willing to pay you money for his life, whatever the cost!»

Kyon swallowed and turned his eyes to the elderly formacist.

Flitz snorted. «I don't care whose friend you are. And your romance with the slave is not my concern. He is getting castrated today, and that's it. Have fun with him in the next life. Piss off before I kick the hell out of you, brat!»

Yegorka looked at Kyon, dumbfounded. «Castrated?!» - His confusion gradually gave way to gloating. - «Ha! Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha-ha!»

The mean laughter grated on Kyon's ears. He felt the urge to punch the idiot on the nose, but he was worried about something else. «Can I make just one call to Lady Juno, please? I assure you she will be grateful for not selling me…»

«I don't give a shit about her or you or anyone! Shut up before I kill you all!» - Flitz snarled and walked fast to the hospital.

Kyon hurried after the formacist. He had no desire to stay near crazy Yegorka. {The brainless slug... First, he saves me twice, then almost kills me. Now he has attacked me again. Oh, the fickle teenage heart!}
