Chapter 238: Happy Reunion!!
Kaisen's curiosity itched at him like a persistent mosquito, urging him to flip through the diary and uncover every dark secret within its bloodstained pages.
But now wasn't the time for a casual read-through of someone's twisted love letter to a "Royal General."
The pages he'd glimpsed were filled with sycophantic praises for this mysterious "Royal General," and he figured it was best to save the creepy bedtime story for a more appropriate setting—like anywhere that didn't reek of death and decay.
He stuffed the diary into his inventory and turned his attention to the three flayed humans hanging like grotesque meat in a butcher's shop.
It was a stomach-churning sight, but Kaisen didn't exactly have a resurrection spell up his sleeve. And even if he did, would he use it here? Probably not.
After all, he wasn't about to play Dr. Frankenstein for a bunch of folks who might've been on the wrong side of feline justice.
Still, the thought gnawed at him—what if these poor bastards had committed some heinous crime against the cat tribe? Maybe they'd earned their gruesome end.
But then again, from what he'd overheard in the village the day before, that seemed about as likely as a cat learning to bark.
No, the more plausible theory was that some twisted beastman—or a whole gang of them—had gone full psycho, torturing humans for kicks.
"Luke's been hunting humans, but would he really sink to this level? Or is there another nutjob in the tribe I need to worry about?"
Kaisen mused, casting one last look at the grisly trio before stepping out of the building and closing the door behind him.
He took a deep breath of the slightly less nauseating air outside, resolving to solve this mystery another day—preferably one that didn't involve quite so much skinless carnage.
Kaisen's mind raced, his thoughts a whirlwind of concern for Ronali and her family.
But he knew he had to keep his priorities straight—first, meet up with his friends, then dash back to the village before things got even more out of hand.
With that, he took off like a bat out of hell, trees and rocks blurring into a smudge as he zoomed down the path.
Within minutes, he found himself on a small, barren trail that marked the border between the two kingdoms.
And there they were—the two people he'd been searching for. Alice hadn't changed a bit, though it had only been a few days.
Still, for Kaisen, it felt like he'd been through a month's worth of chaos. She wasn't decked out in armor today, but instead, she sported a long skirt and a shirt that made her look like she'd just stepped out of a tavern—like the hottest, most dangerous bartender you've ever seen.
Kaisen skidded to a halt just a few feet away, his face lighting up with a genuine smile.
"Alice!"
Alice, caught off guard, stared at him wide-eyed for a split second before her face melted into pure joy.
"Kaisen-kun!!!"
Before he could blink, Alice launched herself at him like a human cannonball. He barely had time to brace himself before she collided with him, wrapping her arms around him in a tight hug.
And then, without missing a beat, they were kissing like a pair of long-lost lovers who hadn't seen each other in decades—like the world around them had ceased to exist and the only thing that mattered was that their lips were finally reunited.
Lloyd was about to greet Kaisen, but all that came out was a comical gape as his jaw practically hit the floor.
Sure, he knew there was some chemistry between Alice and Kaisen, but he didn't realize it was this intense.
Part of him was genuinely happy for Alice—Kaisen had been eyeing her for ages, and after everything Lloyd had put her through (including that unfortunate betrayal for another woman), it was nice to see her in the arms of someone who was clearly head over heels for her.
If only this poor guy knew what the reality of loving Alice really meant.
But still, as happy as he was, there was a little pang in his chest.
After all, Alice had been his for so long, and seeing her now, all wrapped up in someone else—it was like watching someone else eat the last piece of pizza you'd been saving for later. Bittersweet as hell.
'Man, get a grip. She's in good han—'
Lloyd's inner pep talk was cut short when he noticed just how good those "hands" were.
Kaisen had expertly put Alice back on her feet, only to shamelessly cup her ass cheeks like it was the most natural thing in the world, completely ignoring the fact that Lloyd was standing right there.
And to top it off, those two didn't even break their kiss—nope, they just kept going at it like they were auditioning for a steamy romance movie, leaving Lloyd to awkwardly watch the X-rated scene unfold in front of him.
Lloyd's jaw practically unhinged, dropping so fast it should've come with a sound effect—like a cartoon character seeing something so outrageous, it defied logic. But nope, his jaw stayed in place, leaving him to fully absorb the shock of what was unfolding before him.
Kaisen's veiny hands were gripping Alice's cheeks so hard, it looked like her skin might actually ooze out between his fingers, even through her skirt.
"Eek!"
Lloyd whipped his head around so fast he nearly gave himself whiplash, his face turning redder than a fire truck.
The last thing he wanted was to witness his best friend manhandling his ex-girlfriend like some overenthusiastic baker kneading dough.
But his heart wasn't the only thing thumping—let's just say something in his pants was starting to wake up too.
He tried, he really did, to keep his eyes averted, but curiosity got the better of him, and before he knew it, he stole a quick peek over his shoulder.
Big mistake.
Kaisen's hands had somehow snuck their way under Alice's waistband, and even through her panties, Lloyd could see the outlines of those hands working their magic. Kaisen wasn't just groping—oh no, he was massaging like he was auditioning for a very different kind of "Top Chef."
"Hehe! Kaisen-kun, are you that eager for me?"
Alice giggled, finally breaking their kiss, a thin trail of saliva still connecting them like some scandalous souvenir.
"Oh? You don't want me now?"
Kaisen feigned a pout, but his fingers had other plans, drifting towards the center of her, well, let's just say "attention."
His fingertips teased the small, sensitive spot there, and Alice bit her lip, a soft moan escaping that made Lloyd's ears turn even redder.
'Seriously, Kaisen! You wanna fuck right in front of me? Are you out of your goddamn mind? Get a fucking room, bro.
GET. A. FUCKING. ROOM!'
Lloyd screamed internally, but his dick had other plans. It was practically begging him to keep watching, like some kind of perverted movie he couldn't tear his eyes away from.
'It's just like a porn flick, that's all it is.'
Lloyd tried to convince himself.
'It's not about the fact that my ex, the woman I was head over heels for just months ago, is getting groped, fingered, and tongue-tangled by my best friend right in front of me!'
His heart was in a full-blown panic, but the tent in his pants was all for the show, practically cheering for an encore.
Kaisen's fingers were teasing Alice's tight little rim, just dancing around it without even slipping inside. It was like he was playing the world's filthiest game of tag, and Alice was loving every second of it.
"I'm so hot for you, my Honey Peach."
Kaisen murmured, spreading her ass cheeks apart like he was about to dive into his favorite dessert. He pushed a finger in halfway, just enough to send her over the edge.
"Aaaah, Kaisen, Honey Bun!"
Alice moaned, her body jolting like she'd just been struck by lightning. The sudden pressure on her tight spot was too much, and it looked like she came right then and there.
She'd been waiting all day for him, frustrated as hell after he had to cancel their last rendezvous. The pent-up desire had her practically shaking, and now, she was finally getting what she'd been craving.
Seeing Kaisen back in her world was downright suicidal, especially with his idiotic twin brother pulling off criminal stunts that got his face plastered on every goddamn corner.
Kaisen must've dodged a million patrols, and he'd texted her just yesterday about how tough it had become to travel.
The fact that he was here, risking his neck to be with her, made Alice's heart race with a twisted mix of excitement and danger.
So yeah, she was beyond thrilled to see him. If he wanted her right here, right now, who was she to say no?
With a wicked grin, Kaisen delivered a sharp slap to her ass, the sound echoing through the trees, leaving her cheek glowing red and her moan slipping out involuntarily.
That moan? Oh, it hit Lloyd like a punch to the gut because, damn it, he'd never heard that sound from her when they were together. It was like she'd discovered a whole new octave just for Kaisen.
Lloyd whipped around again, trying to resist the temptation to watch, but his heart wasn't having it.
'I'm not a fucking cuck, right?'
He told himself, justifying his voyeuristic peeks as nothing more than watching a live-action porno. That's it, nothing more.
But then Kaisen's voice cut through the air, dripping with smug arrogance.
"Come on, Honey Peach. Someone misses your warm mouth. Won't you welcome him back?"
Lloyd couldn't stop himself; he had to look. And when he did, the sight hit him like a freight train.
His eyes locked on Alice, who was already sinking to her knees with a wicked smile, eager to give Kaisen the kind of welcome Lloyd had only ever dreamed about.
