Chapter 141: Redo of a Sleeping Beauty?
His beloved niece had found a date with a human kid. And the date took place yesterday on the night of the full moon.
Devon didn’t seem like he was bothered by his niece having started dating or the fact that she was going on a date with a human. But his face turned grim soon afterwards when he started to describe what took place after that.
***********************
The night of the Lensa’s defloration.
Lensa had to admit. She had the best first-time experience she could ask for, thanks to Ken’s dominant attitude. He had created a deep impression within her psyche.
“That was great, Ken. It may be my inexperience in this field that’s talking here, but it was a view-changing thing for me.
Now I’m glad I waited for you to come into my life before deciding to just go with it. But now you’ll have to take responsibility for all you’ve done to me, hehe!”
The not-maiden-anymore elf spoke what she truly felt from her heart. She had spoken the last sentence so she could get closer to her partner by putting the pressure of responsibility on his shoulder. She liked Ken and was hoping he would like her the same way.
Unfortunately, Ken wasn’t interested. He spoke after taking a long breath:
“Lensa, this may be an unforgettable experience for you because it was your first time. But for me, it’s a regular thing, if you know what I mean. And you were nothing but a clueless amateur in our entire session who didn’t have a sense in pleasing their partners.
I’m disappointed that an elf can be this dense in sexual exploration. I had heard that some elves can sense their partners’ feelings and act accordingly to please them more. But I guess you are not one of those elves.
And I must confess one thing to you. All this that took place between us is just due to my heavy drinking of elf ale that skewed my tastes and influenced me to come here. The elf ales that come with their signature effects shouldn’t be taken lightly. I’ve come to realize this.
I drank the Unscented Wind Empty Mind ale that Unmi elves are famous for making. My drunk brain thought it was a good idea to meet you here at the time I was drinking that cursed drink. And all this happened here was just a consequence of that.
Let’s forget what happened here. I’m sure the ale’s effects would make me forget about this night too. This clarity I have right now won’t be retained tomorrow when I wake up. Because I’d be forgetting everything I do under the ale’s effect. At least I hope I do. Because you are not my type.
I hope you too forget about this event and never contact me again. I’ll be taking my leave now.
Farewell.”
Ken got up, got ready, and left the place the couple was at. Lensa, on the other hand, started looking aimlessly into the void after she heard her partner’s opinion. The tears had breached the boundaries of her eyelids and were now flowing over. But she still wouldn’t close her eyes.
Lensa was crying with her eyes open. She felt lost and demeaned at the same time. This was the first time she was feeling such a strong concoction of negative emotions.
What was her mistake? Blindly trusting a stranger and going what her heart wanted her to do? Or was her inexperience really to blame?
Lensa would have never thought that she could be hurt this way. Her heartbroken status had paralyzed her and her mana core was affected subconsciously.
The mana core influenced Lensa’s mana circuits to freeze everything around her with an ice element spell of unknown origin. The girl just wanted to freeze everything for a while so that she wouldn’t have to think of her current feelings of abandonment.
Lensa’s feelings were so strong that her mana core responded by casting a spell that respected her wishes. It formed a layer of mana-imbued ice around her that was radiating a faint white light. Soon the formation of ice took on the shape of an ice slab. It had practically sealed the young elf lady entirely without any scope for her to breath.
But that white radiance reflected by the ice slab had started to turn dim, glow bright, before turning dim again in a manner that represented a breathing cycle. The breathing light effect conveyed that Lensa was indeed alive inside that ice slab.
But the young lady had stopped feeling anything. She was put in a vegetative state. And the most bizarre thing was, it was she who had done it.
Lensa had also subconsciously wished that her naked body wouldn’t be seen by anyone else while she was trying to get her thoughts together. The spell had responded to her wishes by making the ice slab non-transparent in some places.
Now people could only see Lensa’s face and some of her features. The rest was covered by the ice slab’s non-transparent property in sensitive places. The magic cast by the young lady had stopped being magic and ended up serving her wishes to a T.
Lensa’s family had started looking for her the next day when she didn’t come home. Devon soon found her traces and followed those to Moonview lake.
He was going to scold the young lass for always making a scene. But it seemed that he was frozen too by seeing Lensa’s condition at the place. He didn’t even know what he was looking at.
All he saw was Lensa’s stoic face frozen inside the ice slab that was producing the breathing light effect. He was going to smash the ice and take her niece out but was stopped by someone over the ID Stone’s audio channel.
Devon didn’t argue with that person’s suggestion that Lensa’s ice slab shouldn’t be broken but instead moved to her family’s estate. He didn’t know why that person had called him. But he had understood that something extreme had happened to his niece.
That and the fact that the ice slab he had just seen was not normal. It was so abnormal that the person he wouldn’t expect to get a call from had called him to preserve that ice slab.
Devon arranged for a few people to transport the block of ice to his family’s estate while he stayed at the same place, waiting for the historian he knew to show up.
Devon wanted to know what had happened to his beloved niece who he and his family had always protected from any harm. He also wanted to make the responsible person pay the price for leaving Lensa in this state with no limits placed on the punishments.
The historian soon showed up. She couldn’t get anything on the spell that had been used to cast that block of ice. But she found out what had happened with Lensa at the place, thanks to her historian-specific spells.
That’s how they got to know about Ken Riverine and what he had done to Lensa.

AN: Unscented Wind Empty Mind ale is a special liquor. The reason for Eren choosing this ale to get Ken drunk on would be explained in the next chapter.
