"I can feel that someone, something, is manipulating my life and making me less and less like myself."

Triss calmed down a little, and began to tell her story as she had done on the balcony on the day of the ball.

"After coming to Beckland from Tingen, I was quickly found by them and returned to the Witch Cult. Originally, Severia said that she would ask me to take new people, like Sharon Hoy, and take a few novice assassins, teach them killing techniques, and let them complete the instructions of the sect. But soon they changed their minds and arranged for me to meet Edsax by chance......

Then the man fell madly in love with me, and said that he had fallen in love with me at first sight, and even gave up the daughter of a wealthy earl for me. He is so obsessed with a suspicious woman he has only met once, and that appearance is like a ridiculous supporting character who falls in love with a heroine in the third rate. And what's even more ridiculous is that at that time, I was still happy in my heart, secretly happy that I was so popular after becoming a woman, hahahaha! ”

At this, 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 a demon, without a hint of laughter, and all that was left was madness.

Surprised by Triss's performance, Angel did not respond, but waited quietly for her to continue.

Fortunately, the extraordinary person of Sequence 6 did not immerse himself in pessimistic emotions, and quickly stopped laughing, and looked in the direction of the mirror with tearful eyes, and his black pupils were mixed with feelings that Angel could not understand.

"By coincidence, we always met everywhere, and then under his arrangement, I lived in a suburban manor and was 'captive' by him. Of course, he didn't think that way, he felt that he was protecting me and providing me with the best living conditions.

"And I'm getting more and more curious, how can a normal man accept everything so quickly after becoming a woman? But every time I resist intimacy, or even want to run away, to get away from it all, the memory becomes confused, and when I wake up again, it's often hours, or even a whole night!

"I tried my best, using invisibility spells, directly snatching the horse and escaping, and even enduring the disgust to seduce his subordinates...... But without exception, all attempts failed, there were always various coincidences that made me fall short, and if I was lucky enough not to meet anyone, the feeling that I could not control my body would return, and I would give up and run away on my own. ”

Hearing this, Angel remembered that Severia had said that she had "tried to escape many times", and felt a little sad about the fate of this witch who once had blood on her hands, but now she was deeply involved in some kind of "arrangement".

"At that time, I naively thought that as long as I improved my strength, I would be able to get rid of this strange manipulation, so I asked someone to help collect extraordinary materials and was promoted to 'Joy', heh, I didn't expect the situation to become more serious."

Triss must have been by Prince Edsak's side for a long time, and now she has found someone to talk to, even if it is through the mirror and the spirit world, even if she is not sure if the other person will help her, she does not care about everything.

But according to her, being able to say everything like this without hindrance, it seems that the so-called "manipulation" is not so terrible?

"Do you think that now I can say everything, as if the situation is not as serious as I say?" As if seeing Angel's doubts, Triss sneered and said, "That's because I'm getting used to it!" Accustomed to sharing a bed with him, accustomed to succumbing to his anger, accustomed to forgiving under his apologies, accustomed to serving a man as a woman! ”

She yelled and spat out the last word, but as if she was worried about the sound coming out of the room, she instantly calmed down and lowered her voice.

"As long as I follow certain rules, that force won't work, and those created coincidences won't find me...... So I finally waited for this opportunity, and waited for the opportunity to let others pass on the potion even if I lost myself at the prom......"

Triss said in a different tone, one that seemed to be used by her with a seductive stickiness:

"I guess Severia will definitely let you approach me, spy on me, and prevent me from escaping. Of course, there are several people like you around me, there are handmaids, butlers, and even extraordinary people arranged by Edsax, and I will take care of some of them, so that they will hinder each other and have no time to care about my movements, and you will help me escape from all this......"

Seeing that Triss had been laying the groundwork for a long time, and finally got to the point, Angel shook her head slightly, just about to speak.

"Don't be too busy refusing, I can offer you a good reward, such as a potion formula, you should know that the 'witch''s follow-up potion is 'pleasure', right? And I can not only give you 'pleasure', but also the recipe for the potion of subsequent 'pain', and the way to get promoted. ”

It's a pity that I'm already a witch of pleasure, and your offer doesn't appeal much to me......

Angel thought silently.

But she was still puzzled, how could such a person, who was almost a "pawn" of the Witch Sect, have the formula for Sequence 5?

"It takes too much risk to help you, but the benefits are pitifully small. Sevilia has already given me the materials for 'Pleasure', as long as I complete the task and get the formula, I can concoct potions to advance, and Sequence 5, I'm not interested in it for the time being. ”

She shook her head in feigned regret and refused Triss's request.

"Haha, Severia? She will only hang you, give you a glimmer of hope, and make you her pawn. As if hearing something ridiculous, Triss laughed dryly twice, and continued, "She gave me the formula, but she didn't give me extraordinary ingredients, and if you give you the ingredients, you will definitely get stuck in the formula, and that's how she manages her subordinates." ”

"What about you? How did you know the recipe for Sequence 5? Do you have the status of a pawn planted next to the prince? ”

"I've been tossed by that mysterious power for a long time, even if I'm powerless to resist, I'll gain a little. And you don't have to risk your life, just report my affairs to the official Extraordinary, the Night Watchman, the Punisher, the Machine Heart, whichever you want, and tell them that Prince Edssack is hiding the witch in the Red Rose Manor, and let them come and take me away. ”

"Are you crazy? Even if you have a confused memory, you probably haven't forgotten what you did in Tingen and on the Alfalfa, right? ”

Angel frowned, worried that there was a communication problem due to the instability of the spirit world, and that he had misheard the other party.

But then she realized that Triss would rather be arrested, tried, and locked up in the church than stay by Prince Edssac's side.

This is not only a conflict of thinking and behavior caused by gender inversion, but also because she feels that she cannot control everything about herself, and feels that she is being controlled by something.

Moreover, what she said just now was "something to be gained under the toss of mysterious powers", where did Angel seem to have heard it......

By the way, the fraudster who used his strange abilities in battle to intercept the fleeing Lanerus in the sewers of the dock area said something similar.

And he once contained the divinity of the "true creator", and even almost triggered the evil gods of the docklands to descend!

Angel subconsciously looked at Triss on the other end of the mirror, and looked at the inconspicuous sapphire ring on the little finger of her left hand.

She finally remembered where the daunting feeling she had felt when she saw Triss's strange change at the ball.

No matter how weak or inconspicuous that power was, its personality was far higher than the two Witches of Pleasure on either side of the mirror, and even higher than the average high-sequence extraordinary.

That's the power of the gods!
