Chapter 34: Needle In The Mouth
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Elizabeth?”
The instant Linley Bart said these words, a small knife stabbed into his mouth.
It was a very cold knife.
It pressed tightly against Linley’s mouth.
Furthermore, it came at an unimaginable speed. Linley Bart didn’t even have any time to react.
Before he could act, the knife had already reached Linley Bart’s mouth.
She didn’t hesitate, nor did she use much force. The knife just so happened to be right next to Linley Bart’s mouth, with the blade of the knife touching the insides of the mouth.
Linley Bart’s jaw dropped and he didn’t dare to move.
This was probably an experience even closer to death than when he was in the duel with Alice.
Linley Bart completely believed that as long as he moved, or did anything offensive, Elizabeth would swing her knife down without hesitation.
Linley’s intuition told him not to act rashly.
Terrifying.
Linley Bart thought to himself.
He was not afraid of the knife in his mouth.
What he was afraid of was Elizabeth herself.
As a normal person, one would not easily put a knife into someone else’s mouth.
Besides, Linley Bart had caught her from upstairs.
Although he had also discovered Elizabeth’s secret that she had no weight.
Elizabeth’s gaze was as sharp as a blade.
Linley Bart thought to himself.
He was convinced.
With a knife in his mouth, Linley Bart saw neither hesitation nor pity in Elizabeth’s eyes. He was now convinced.
Elizabeth would kill him.
“I remember you, Linley Bart. You are a creature as disgusting as a cockroach. You should have felt it, and you should have known. You shouldn’t have done that the moment you hugged me.”
“Ah, this…”
“What? Do you feel lonely on the right? How about this?”
Elizabeth raised her left hand again.
That quick movement made Linley Bart feel as though he was about to be slapped.
But it wasn’t like that.
Elizabeth held a needle.
Before he could see it clearly, she had already inserted the entire needle into Linley’s mouth once again.
Then, she slowly pushed it forward, and the tip of the needle pierced into his flesh.
He couldn’t talk any more now.
Seeing Linley Bart’s reaction, Elizabeth let out an exaggerated sigh.
“I was really stupid. I was very careful when I went upstairs, yet something like this had still happened. I didn’t expect there to be water in such a place.”
Water? Did she step on water and slip?
Why was there water on the stairs of the library?
Who dared to casually use magic in the library?
“Did you find out?”
Elizabeth asked him.
Her fierce gaze was like that of a lion cub.
“I have no weight.”
Right. No weight.
“Even so, it’s not completely weightless. Based on my height and build, my average weight should be more than forty kilograms.”
Linley Bart thought that she looked about fifty kilograms as she didn’t look so thin.
Suddenly, the inner left side of his mouth blocked by the knife had more pressure exerted on it, while the needle on the right went into his mouth even deeper.
Pain! Intense pain!
“Don’t let your imagination run wild. Were you thinking about my naked body just now?”
Her guess was wrong.
“About forty kilograms.”
Elizabeth reiterated.
It should have been the case.
“But my actual weight is only five kilograms.”
Five kilograms?
It was almost the weight of a newborn baby.
He thought about the dumbbells that weighed five kilograms. He could not say that they weighed close to zero.
However, if a person only weighed five kilograms, it would be a problem of density.
It was also easier to catch one when one was light.
“Sigh… Actually, it’s just that my weight is only five kilograms. However, I can’t sense it myself. Personally, I still feel like I’m weighing forty kilograms.”
Was it because the effects of gravity had decreased on her?
Disregarding mass and volume and assuming that the weight of water is 1.
Humans could be said to be made up of water and thus their weight should also be about 1.
Elizabeth, on the other hand, only weighed a tenth of her weight.
If the density of the bones was also this number, she would probably experience osteoporosis in the blink of an eye.
Be it her internal organs or her brain, they would not be able to function normally.
Thus, that definitely wasn’t the case.
From the memories of Linley Bart as a child, she didn’t merely weigh just five kilograms.
However, she was like this now.
Then there was only one possibility. She had been cursed.
Magic could make something defy logic and change it from the original form but not for long.
However, a curse would remain forever.
The princess was really an easy target to curse.
“I know what you’re thinking.”
Can you read my mind?
Linley Bart didn’t dare to speak.
“You kept staring at my chest. It’s a really unpleasant feeling. Although I’ve heard that you’re very lecherous, you were clearly not like this when you were young. The older you grew, the less adorable you have become.”
This was definitely not the case!
Elizabeth was a girl with a strong sense of self-importance. It was natural for her to think that she was pretty.
“I hate people without character.”
Under such circumstances, misunderstandings were impossible to be rectified.
No matter what, what Linley Bart needed to consider now was how to escape this predicament.
His life was still in Elizabeth’s hands.
He really hoped that the system would give him a treasure chest.
However, the system did not seem to have heard his prayers. There was no response.
“This happened before I came to the magic academy.”
Elizabeth said.
“I had met with a demon.”
