Shia patted Rong’s back soothingly, his gaze turning helpless as he looked at Diana.

“Headmistress, it’s been a while since you’ve graced us with your presence, and the first thing you do is break into my house?”

“What are you talking about? Visiting someone isn’t breaking in,” Diana replied, her tone playful as she casually seated herself next to Shia.

With a mischievous smile, she reached out to tease the "little kitten" in his lap.

Shia glanced at the alluring figure who had appeared so suddenly in his home, inwardly sighing.

Her long black hair was tied up with a crimson hairpin, and she wore a tight-fitting, black slit gown that exuded dark magic.

The slit on the side revealed her plump thighs wrapped in black stockings, while a fiery red rose adorned her chest.

The combination of the rose, her crimson eyes, and the hairpin enhanced her mature and seductive beauty, making her allure almost overpowering.

The moment Diana’s hand touched Rong, the timid succubus immediately bristled, leaping out of Shia’s lap in panic.

Her legs gave out, and she nearly stumbled.

Diana couldn’t hold back her laughter.

Rong’s face flushed an even deeper red as she shrank to the far end of the sofa, doing her best to become invisible.

Diana, however, wasn’t particularly interested in Rong. Her focus remained on the young man before her.

“I’ve been incredibly busy lately,” Diana said with a playful smile, flipping her hair over her shoulder and tidying the loose strands that had fallen across her chest.

The motion drew attention to her deep, heaving cleavage, now unobstructed and even more visually striking.

Rong’s eyes widened in awe, unable to look away. She forgot her shame and stared, as though her heart had taken a critical hit.

'This isn’t even a comparison anymore—this is a level I can only revere!'

Even among the succubi, her queen might not match this level of magnificence.

Her gaze was filled with admiration, longing, and envy.

'Such a gap... there’s no room for self-pity because we’re not even in the same realm!'

Still, the pain of inadequacy lingered.

---

“Yes, I’m deeply touched,” Shia replied flatly, his voice devoid of emotion.

“Good, so do you feel my love for you?” Diana purred, her crimson eyes shimmering with playful allure.

She leaned closer, the subtle vibrations of her movements sending tremors Shia couldn’t ignore.

Sitting so close, Shia was acutely aware of the overwhelming presence of her ample chest.

Keeping his face steady, he responded, “Yes, I feel it.”

The next moment, he felt it much more intimately—Diana pulled him into a suffocating embrace.

The weight of her chest overwhelmed him, her unique scent filling his senses as the world around him faded away.

When Shia finally emerged, gasping for air, his face was red from the ordeal.

He refrained from using his usual escape tactics to avoid startling the socially anxious Rong.

“You’re so ungrateful,” Diana said, playfully pinching his cheeks.

Her hands lingered, enjoying the softness of his face as she leaned even closer.

Her alluring voice dropped to a seductive whisper.

“Just call me 'Mama,' and I’ll prepare anything you need~!”

Her tone was soft and coy, but her voice carried a magnetic power that could make even a saint waver.

Unfortunately for Diana, Shia’s resolve was unshaken.

“I prefer earning my own way,” he said firmly.

Diana wasn’t upset by his rejection.

“Such a driven little succubus,” she mused, her smile teasing. “To fight against your nature takes immense willpower.”

“But willpower alone isn’t enough for this path,” she continued, her tone turning serious. “If you try to figure it out on your own, it might take decades before you even find a starting point.”

“However, if you just call me 'Mama,' I’ll solve all your problems. Every single one of them.”

She turned her attention to Rong, flashing a radiant smile.

Despite having stayed out of sight, Diana clearly knew everything about Shia’s recent activities.

Rong froze under Diana’s gaze, unable to move.

'Why is the Headmistress smiling at me?!'

Rong was so nervous that she hadn’t even registered Diana’s words, her mind solely focused on the movement of her crimson lips.

Her attempt to force a smile failed miserably as her anxiety grew.

'She’s so overwhelmingly strong… it’s terrifying!'

Shia, of course, was steadfast in his refusal. His concerns about Diana’s intentions had been clear from the beginning.

While having the favor of a dark goddess might seem beneficial, the "maternal love" she offered was suffocating in the extreme.

His face was still tinged with redness from her earlier embrace, and he had no intention of accepting more.

“I refuse,” he said firmly, his tone brooking no argument.

Though he sympathized with Diana’s tragic backstory—her unfulfilled desire for familial love—he wasn’t about to put himself in harm’s way.

---

“Are you sure?” Diana said sweetly, wrapping an arm around his shoulders and pulling him close.

Her ample chest pressed against him, deforming under the pressure and squishing his face in the process.

“I already have a lead,” Shia replied, his voice muffled by the oppressive softness.

Even so, he didn’t relent.

Diana gazed at Shia with a look of disdain, sizing him up and down with obvious contempt.

“Pfft!”

Then, right in front of Shia, she pulled out her phone and made a call.

“Freeze Ella's access to the database.”

As someone who obsessively tracked all of Shia’s movements, Diana naturally knew exactly who he had turned to for help.

Ella, Shia’s fiancée Lilith’s mentor, had known Shia even before his enrollment. Now, as teacher and student, they shared a close relationship and had been spending quite a bit of time together recently. The young man before her was a regular guest at Ella’s house. His confidence came from relying on Ella to dig up some specific information, didn’t it?

As the academy headmaster, Diana needed only a word to cut off Ella’s access.

So, right in front of Shia, she brazenly abused her authority and blocked Ella’s permissions.

Hanging up the call, she smugly glanced at Shia, openly flaunting her misuse of power.

I know your ways in, and I can block every single one of them. What now?
