The Smiling Death
Chapter 439: Prank
Amon, for some reason, suddenly felt the urge to cut off the incoming call.
But before he could do it, Selena’s hand moved toward his in a flash.
Of course, she was much stronger and faster than him, so he barely had any time to react.
She effortlessly snatched the communication crystal from his hand.
Then held it calmly in her own. Her red eyes gleamed with interest.
"Hey! What do you think you’re doing?!" Amon panicked the moment he realized Selena had taken away his communication crystal.
Selena didn’t reply.
Instead, she casually sent a small amount of mana into the crystal, properly connecting it to the other side.
"Amon?" Scarlett’s voice came from the crystal.
Amon stared at Selena in horror.
After connecting the call, Selena simply handed the crystal back to him.
Amon accepted it with trembling hands while gulping nervously.
"Amon?" Scarlett’s calm yet sweet voice came again from the other side.
Seraphina quietly watched the situation with interest.
Neither she nor Selena spoke.
Selena simply waved her hand toward Amon, silently telling him to continue talking. Her beautuful face looked quite devilish.
Amon gritted his teeth before forcing a smile onto his face. "H-Hello, Scarlett. How are you, dear? You called this morning. You don’t usually do that."
Scarlett replied softly, "I’m good, Amon... Yesterday night there was a function, so I couldn’t contact you. But now I’m free, so I thought of calling you."
Amon’s tense expression softened immediately.
Seeing that expression on his face, a mischievous thought suddenly appeared in Selena’s mind.
Seraphina noticed the subtle change in Selena’s eyes.
She immediately realized her older cousin was about to do something strange.
Without warning, Selena suddenly leaned closer and let out a deliberately seductive moan.
"Ahhn~ Amon~ Slow down please... ahhn~♡"
The moan sounded unbelievably lewd. Full of ecstasy.
Amon’s face instantly lost all color. He turned completely pale. His eyes widened while his jaw dropped open in disbelief. How could his senior, the princess could do such thing.
At first, Seraphina didn’t understand what Selena had just done.
But a moment later, realization hit her. Cheeks turned into shade of pink.
Silence filled the room.
Nobody spoke.
Even Scarlett on the other side suddenly went completely silent.
Amon stared at the communication crystal with trembling hands. He knew at this moment he was truly fucked.
"Amon."
Finally, Scarlett broke the silence from other side.
Her voice was frighteningly cold and dangerous.
"S-Scarlett, it’s not what you think! Listen to me!" Amon panicked immediately, not knowing what to do. He wanted to tell her everything. But before he could do that he was cut off by her.
Scarlett’s furious voice exploded through the crystal.
"What was that sound?!"
Her voice became louder and sharper.
"Which bitch is with you right now?! What are you doing with her?!!!"
Selena, who had been enjoying the prank until now, immediately stopped smiling after hearing those words.
Her eyes narrowed dangerously. She was princess. Never in her whole life someone called her that.
Amon panicked even more.
"W-Wait, bitch?! No, Scarlett, don’t say something like that! She’s Princess Selena—"
Amon hurriedly tried to explain further.
But Scarlett instantly cut him off once again.
"I knew it!! That princess had ulterior motives toward you! No wonder she was being kind to you! So she could seduce you! Seduce my Amon! How dare she?!!" Scarlett shouted angrily.
Then, without stopping, she continued furiously.
"Hey! Are you still on his bed right now?! Moaning under him?" She was asking Selena.
Amon covered his face with his free hand in despair.
Meanwhile, Selena’s cheeks flushed red with embarrassment and shame.
"H-Hey, wait a minute, Scarlett! It’s not what you think!" Finally Selena decided to speak while Amon desperately tried to calm her down.
But Scarlett wasn’t listening anymore.
"Oh, so you’re with him right now?! Hey! How dare you touch Amon?! I’m not scared of you just because you’re a princess!" she snapped angrily.
Then her tone became even more emotional and angry.
"How did you do it?! Did you seduce him with your big breasts?! Well, he definitely likes big breasts! But mine are bigger, so I can confidently say that!" Scarlett declared proudly and angrily at the same time.
Amon nearly died from embarrassment listening to this conversation.
Scarlett continued speaking without pause.
"Till now I’ve only kissed his lips, and you already took him to bed?! Did you wave your ass around or what?!"
Scarlett kept ranting furiously.
The trio could only sit there and listen.
Amon was completely shocked.
He had never seen Scarlett this angry before.
Or heard her speak in such a crude and jealous manner.
Selena had decided to let her speak whatever she want and calm down.
Finally, after venting everything out, Scarlett calmed down slightly and let out an angry huff from the other side.
Then she suddenly realized something.
"Hey... hey, speak something. Why are you all silent now?"
Selena sighed softly.
At first, she had gotten annoyed too.
But after hearing Scarlett continue ranting like that, she simply let her vent until she calmed down.
Even she hadn’t expected such an explosive reaction.
Finally, Selena took the crystal from Amon’s hand.
With a calm voice, she spoke politely, "Lady Scarlett, I am the Princess of the Valmoria Kingdom, Selena Aurellian. And please accept my apology for acting like that. It was merely a prank."
She continued calmly, "Currently, we are at the Luminere Duchy in Helior City. We came here to visit my cousin Seraphina, who is also Amon’s friend. We were simply talking when you called, and I suddenly decided to play a prank."
Amon immediately nodded frantically. "Yes, Scarlett! That’s exactly what happened! Please don’t misunderstand! I love you so much! I would never do something like that! My first time is only for you!"
Scarlett, as much as she was angry. After hearing Amon’s words, they made her flustered on other side.
"Okay, okay, I get it! Stop talking already, you idiot! Hmph!" Scarlett replied in a flustered tone, acting as if her terrifying anger from a few minutes ago had never happened.
"Really? You believe me now?" Amon asked hopefully. "If not, Seraphina is here too. She can confirm it."
Then he quickly turned toward Seraphina.
"Sera, say hello to her and tell her there was nothing like that."
Seraphina wanted to laugh seeing Amon’s miserable expression, but she also felt a little bad for him.
So she lightly coughed before speaking.
"Hello, Lady Scarlett. I am Seraphina Luminous, daughter of Duke Bertram Luminous. And yes, it was only a prank. Amon is innocent. So please don’t be angry on him."
Scarlett remained silent for a few moments before finally replying softly.
"Okay... I believe you all. I really got angry earlier... I apologize for that. It’s just...after thinking that he mistake be with other woman....I got out of control without thinking calmly. I am truly sorry, Princess Selena, for saying such things to you. I was idiot, there’s no way a princess would do such thing with someone like Amon."
Selena chuckled lightly. "It’s alright. I understand your reaction completely. Honestly, it only showed how much you love Amon."
Scarlett once again fell silent, probably out of embarrassment.
Amon smiled proudly. "I know. She just loves me too much."
"Shut up!" Scarlett immediately snapped at him.
The trio burst into quiet laughter.
After calming down, Scarlett spoke again.
"So, Your Highness..."
Selena interrupted gently. "No, don’t call me that. You can simply call me Selena. There’s no need for formalities."
Scarlett replied after a small pause. "Okay... then you can call me Scarlett too."
Then Seraphina quietly spoke from the side.
"Then I will call you Big Sister Scarlett."
Scarlett sounded pleasantly surprised. "Oh? Sure, Seraphina."
Amon smiled warmly. "Dear, did you miss me?"
But instead of replying to him, Scarlett suddenly asked Selena curiously.
"Selena... can I ask you something?"
Selena nodded calmly. "Yes, of course. You can ask me anything."
Scarlett hesitated briefly before speaking honestly.
"So... how did you become friends with Amon? I mean, he already told me, but I’m still confused. Why did you become close to him? He’s not particularly handsome... nor is he smart. Back then he was also very weak."
She continued mercilessly.
"He’s kind of dumb sometimes and not very clever. He’s not even that tall or muscular like the type most women prefer. He’s... kind of average..."
With every sentence Scarlett spoke, Amon felt as though invisible arrows were stabbing directly into his heart.
He grabbed his chest dramatically in pain.
His own lover was mercilessly insulting him.
Seraphina gently rested her hand on his shoulder and softly stroked it, trying to mentally comfort him.
She even gave him a small encouraging smile.
Selena burst into soft laughter.
"Haha! Well... you’re not entirely wrong. But honestly, that was also one of the reasons I became friends with him."
She smirked teasingly at Amon.
"I never had a problem with him dreaming about me. After all, I was always out of his league."
Amon growled angrily while glaring at Selena.
"Really?" Scarlett asked curiously. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Selena sighed softly before continuing more honestly.
"...Haah I was kidding. Jokes aside, he looked like an innocent junior at the Academy. When I first met him. A slightly idiotic one too. That’s why I decided to befriend him and keep an eye on him so he wouldn’t constantly get himself into trouble."
Then she chuckled lightly.
"But after spending more time with him, I realized he was anything but innocent."
Scarlett immediately agreed. "That’s true."
Then Seraphina curiously asked, "But why did you fall in love with him if you think so many negative things about him? Especially about him not being handsome."
Amon also immediately focused on Scarlett’s answer.
There was a brief silence.
Then Scarlett finally spoke in a quieter voice.
"...For others, he might seem average and ordinary... but to me... h-he is a lot handsome... and c-cute."
Amon instantly felt his heart flutter wildly. He couldn’t believe that Scarlett was saying this.
If Scarlett had been in front of him right now, he would have showered her with kisses.
Selena smiled softly. "Oh~ That’s actually wonderful. I guess love really does change how people see someone."
Scarlett quietly agreed. "It really does."
Amon smiled brightly. "So, anything else you want to say, my love?"
"Hmm... no. Just..." Scarlett paused briefly before continuing seriously.
"Selena and Seraphina... Amon has a habit of flirting with women. Actually, no. I think he definitely flirts with both of you too."
Selena smirked immediately. "Yes, he does."
Seraphina nodded honestly. "Yeah... he really does that often."
Amon looked offended. "Dammit! I’m an innocent man! I never flirt!"
Scarlett snorted softly. "Yeah, yeah. I know you very well after all these months. Stay in your pants and stay away from bad women."
Amon nodded obediently. "Hm, of course I will."
Scarlett sighed softly. "Anyways, I should get going now. You guys should enjoy your time together."
"Yes, Scarlett. Bye."
"Bye, Big Sister Scarlett," Seraphina said politely.
Amon smiled warmly. "Bye, my love. I love you. Contact me tonight."
"Tch! Don’t say such embarrassing things openly! Bye!"
Immediately after saying that, Scarlett cut off the call.
"Now that was some amazing conversation." Selena couldn’t help but comment.
" Yes it was." Amon nodded with slightly flushed cheeks.
Remembering how Scarlett spoke to Selena...being under him, and moaning. Shaking her ass.
Amon shook his head.
"Hey! You thought something bad again." Selena asked with frowned.
Amon clicked his tongue. "Tch! So what? Why did you even perform such...bad prank. Do you know how much afraid I was....what if she had broken up with me."
Selena blushed slightly. Remembering that the joke she performed was kind of shameful.
"Yes Big Sister. You gone little too far. He was really in bad spot." Seraphina also sided with Amon.
"Haah...okay I am sorry. But I don’t think she will ever leave you. She might kidnapped you and lock you somewhere."
Her words sent shivers to Amon.
