"I can feel that someone, something, is manipulating my life and making me become less and less like myself."
Trissy calmed down a little, and began to tell his story as he did when they met on the balcony on the day of the dance.
"After coming to Backlund from Tingen, I was quickly found by them and returned to the Demoness Sect. Originally, Sevillea said that I would bring new people, just like Sharon Khoy, to bring a few novice assassins, teach them killing skills, and let them complete the sect's instructions. But they soon changed their minds and arranged for me to meet Edessak...
"Then, that man fell madly in love with me, said it was love at first sight, and even gave up pursuing the daughter of a wealthy Earl for me. He was so obsessed with a suspicious woman he had only met once. She looked like a ridiculous supporting character in a third-rate novel who fell in love with Mr. Mistress. What's even more ridiculous is that at that time I was still secretly happy, secretly happy that I was so popular after becoming a woman, haha, hahaha!"
At this point, she suddenly laughed like crazy, and the sound was transmitted to the side of the mirror, echoing in the small basement, like the roar of an evil spirit, without a trace of smile, only madness.
Inwardly surprised at Trissy's performance, Angel did not respond, but waited quietly for her to continue.
Fortunately, this Beyonder of Sequence 6 did not immerse himself in the pessimistic mood. He quickly stopped smiling and looked towards the mirror with tearful eyes. His black pupils were filled with emotions that Angel could not understand.
"By coincidence, we always met everywhere, and then under his arrangement, I moved into a manor in the suburbs and was 'captive' by him. Of course, he didn't think so. He felt that he was protecting me and providing me with the best living conditions.
"And I became more and more strange, how could a normal man accept everything so quickly after becoming a woman? But whenever I resisted the intimacy, or even wanted to run away and stay away from it all, my memory would become confused, and when I woke up again, hours or even a whole night would often have passed!
"I tried my best to use the invisibility spell to seize the horse and escape. I even endured my nausea and seduced his subordinates... But without exception, all my attempts failed. There were always various coincidences that made me fall short. If I was lucky enough not to meet anyone, the feeling that I couldn't control my body would appear again, making me give up on escaping."
Hearing this, Angel remembered what Sevillea said about "trying to escape many times" and felt a little sad about the fate of Demoness, whose hands were once stained with blood, but now he was trapped in some kind of "arrangement".
"At that time, I naively thought that as long as I improved my strength, I could get rid of this weird control, so I asked someone to help me collect Beyonder Ingredients and promoted it to 'Pleasure'. Haha, I didn't expect that the situation would become more serious."
Trissy must have been holding back for a long time by Prince Edessak's side, and now she has found someone she can talk to, even if it is with Spirit World across the mirror, and even if she is not sure whether the other person will help her, she will tell everything regardless.
But according to what she said, being able to tell everything without any hindrance, it seems that the so-called "control" is not so terrible?
"Do you think now that I can tell you everything, it seems like the situation is not as serious as I say? "As if seeing Angel's doubts, Trissy sneered and said, "That's because I've gradually gotten used to it! I'm used to sleeping with him, used to succumbing to his anger, used to forgiving under his apology, used to being a woman and serving a man!"
She yelled out the last word, but as if she was worried that the sound would be heard outside the room, she calmed down instantly and lowered her voice.
"As long as I abide by certain rules, the power will not take effect, and those created coincidences will not find me... So I finally waited for this opportunity, and waited for the opportunity to let others pass on the potion even if I lose myself in the dance..."
Trissy changed her tone, the one she seemed to have become proficient in using, and said with a sticky tone of temptation:
"I guess, Sevillea will definitely let you get close to me, monitor me, and prevent me from escaping. Of course, I have several people like you around me, including maids, housekeepers, and even Beyonder arranged by Edessak. I will take care of some of them so that they will restrain each other and have no time to take care of my actions, and you can help me escape from all this..."
Seeing that Trissy had been laying the groundwork for a long time and finally got to the point, Angel shook his head slightly and was about to speak.
"Don't be too busy to refuse. I can offer you generous rewards, such as the Potion formula. You should know that the follow-up Potion of 'Witch' is 'Pleasure', right? And I can not only give you 'Pleasure', but I can also give you the Potion formula for the subsequent 'Affliction', as well as the method of promotion."
Unfortunately, I am already Demoness of Pleasure, and your offer is not very attractive to me...
Angel thought silently.
But she was still confused, how could such a person who was almost a "chess piece" of the Demoness Sect possess the formula of Sequence 5?
"Helping you involves too much risk for too little gain. Sevillea has already given me the materials for 'Pleasure'. As long as I complete the task and get the formula, I can prepare Potion for promotion. As for Sequence 5, I am not interested at the moment."
She shook her head with feigned regret and rejected Trissy's request.
"Haha, Sevillea? She will only hang you, give you a glimmer of hope, and make you her pawn. "As if hearing something ridiculous, Trissy laughed dryly twice, and then said, "She gave me the formula, but not Beyonder Ingredients. If she gives you the materials, the formula will be stuck. This is how she manages her subordinates."
"What about you? How did you know the formula of Sequence 5? Based on your identity as a chess piece placed next to Prince?"
"I have been tortured by that mysterious power for a long time, even if I am unable to resist, I will still gain something. And you don't need to risk your life, you just need to report my matter to the official Beyonder, Nighthawks, Mandated Punishers, Machinery Hivemind, anyone, tell them that Prince Edessak is hiding Demoness in the Red Rose Manor, and let them take me away."
"Are you crazy? Even if your memory is confused, you probably haven't forgotten what you did on Tingen City and Alfalfa, right?"
Angel frowned, worried that there was a communication problem due to Spirit World's instability and that he had misheard what the other party meant.
But then she realized that Trissy would rather be arrested by the official Beyonder, locked up under the church by Judgment and never see the light of day, than stay with Prince Edessak any longer.
This is not only a conflict in thinking and behavior caused by gender inversion, but also because she feels that she cannot control everything about herself and feels that everything is controlled by something.
Moreover, Angel seems to have heard what she just said about "reaping gains from the tossing of mysterious power" somewhere...
By the way, when he intercepted the escaping Lanevus in the sewer of Docklands, the fraudster who used strange abilities in the battle once said similar words.
And he once contained the divinity of "True Creator", and even almost caused the arrival of the evil god Docklands!
Angel subconsciously looked at Trissy on the other side of the mirror, and at the inconspicuous Sapphire Ring on the little finger of her left hand.
She finally recalled the source of that frightening feeling after seeing Trissy's strange changes when she attended the dance.
No matter how weak and inconspicuous that power is, its status is far higher than the two Demoness of Pleasure on both sides of the mirror, or even higher than the ordinary High Sequence Beyonder.
That is the power of God!
