Chapter 165 - Get What You Deserve
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
At first, Crystal had been quite worried that Michelle wouldn't be satisfied with just the punishment of George and his family. But thankfully, the girl hadn't expressed any anger over the issue, and it seemed like the grudge in her heart had more or less been settled.
Of course, even if she had held a grudge, it was impossible to punish the other students too severely under the current laws. Even if Crystal also believed that they got off too lightly, there was no other way but to accept it.
Crystal knew that Emilia would handle the matter well, as she had so far, and those who truly deserved to be punished would be brought to court, and definitely wouldn't get off scot-free.
She knew that Emilia's style of justice was a bit more 'unruly', and the fact that she had been so 'lawful' this time, ignoring whatever methods she used to scare the bullies, had to be because of her.
Crystal couldn't help but be happy. After all, who wouldn't like having their crush deviate from her own way of doing things just to make them comfortable? It was like putting on clothes that she didn't like because it suited her lover's preferences.
The blonde girl smiled. 'She's so sweet!'
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
What Crystal didn't know, was that Emilia was a big, fat liar.
The policemen she had seen were all 'ex-policemen', because Emilia was thorough like that, and had put up the show just to convince Crystal that she had nothing more to worry about, and should put the case out of her mind.
After all, the Porter family would be disappearing very soon, except for Mr. Porter himself, who was all too 'happy' to enter a permanent cooperation with the White Deer, and would never be appearing in front of a camera ever again.
Emilia still remembered her promise to Michelle, and as the girl had sworn to become her servant, giving away everything she had, how could Emilia fail to fulfill her side of the deal?
The lawful punishment was too light to make Emilia feel that she had fulfilled her promise.
After dropping Crystal off at her home, she took Michelle to an 'abandoned' warehouse twenty miles away from the city border.
As they got out of the car and walked towards the warehouse, Emilia squeezed Michelle's palm. "I had to spread the news of your death for all of this drama, but it was never made 'official', would you like to go back to that identity, or should I get you a new one?"
Michelle shook her head. "I don't care, really."
After all, she could now be considered a royal vampire's servant, so having a mortal identity really didn't matter much to her.
As the shutters closed, Michelle spotted the police van parked inside, along with the three 'culprits' bound and gagged on metal poles.
The brown-haired girl felt a little regretful when the soft, tender palm of her princess left her own to pat her back.
"You can do whatever you want. Call in the people outside to take care of it once you're done, alright? They'll take you back to my place later."
Emilia smiled when she saw the girl nod. "I still have a few things to do, so I'll leave first."
Michelle's eyes stuck to Emilia's back until her sight was blocked by the closing of the door.
With her princess gone, Michelle set her sights on the youngest of the trio with a sigh. The boy who had been the main culprit behind making her life a living hell… now seemed like such an insignificant little thing.
Although the trio had all seen Michelle's photos before at one point or another, they couldn't recognize who she was at a glance, except for George, who struggled against his bonds fiercely since the moment he saw her.
Compared to when she had been in the hospital, Michelle had already recovered a lot. No longer were her cheeks as sunken, and her hair didn't look as bad either, despite its short length.
Emilia had of course given her new servant a proper fitness trainer, and instructed them to keep her on a strict diet to restore her chubby cheeks. It was expected that she would recover fully within a few weeks.
But even if 'her' limbs were no longer elongated, nor her face so pale, George still thought she looked like a ghost.
After all, with such a dark, horrifying look in her eyes, how could she possibly be human?
He tried to scream to his family - 'I told you! I told you it was real! It came for me now! It's coming to kill me, look!', but of course, no one could understand his muffled screeching through the gag.
Michelle didn't pay him any more attention either, and moved to the 'toolbox' set on a table in the corner. Inside, she found all kinds of brand new 'goodies', such as pliers, scissors, syringes, a variety of blades, a small saw… there was even a handgun.
'Hehe… princess is still so na?ve… did she never suspect that I could just kill myself after getting my revenge? Wouldn't that mean all her efforts go to waste? Ah, but such a cute, innocent princess… how can I bear to leave her alone?'
Of course, before going back to her princess, she had to take care of some vermin first.
Michelle bowed towards the trio, her voice full of 'regret'. "Please forgive me for not knowing any good techniques, but rest assured, I'll do my best to learn quickly!"

After leaving the fate of the Porters to Michelle, Emilia's next stop was of course to 'thank' Justine, who had made the flawless execution of such a plan possible in the first place.
Her naughtiness at the end aside, her contribution really wasn't any less than that of the commissioner.
The only thing Emilia didn't understand about the whole situation was why her mother had asked her if she had 'something to tell her' after giving her the commissioner's number, but she decided to not dwell on it too much.
After all, family matters were mostly Samantha's responsibility now, as far as she was concerned. Only when her sister felt it was unmanageable for her would she inform Emilia. Until then, Emilia felt that she had enough on her plate already.
It didn't take her too long to reach Justine's new place, which was also not far from the city border. Since Emilia had already dropped off both Crystal and Michelle, Justine should already be back at her 'base' by now.
Just like before, she planned to sneak up on the girl again to pinch her butt, which she planned to make her formal greeting to Justine, but the girl had learned from last time, and was already too alert to be caught off guard.
"Hah! I caught you!"
Emilia couldn't help but pout as she glared at the hand clutching her wrist. "You're no fun at all. Anyway, I'm here to thank you for doing a good job, so I'll let it be for now."
Of course, ruining Emilia's fun had its consequences, though they may not come immediately. Emilia added a +1 to Justine's punishments, even as she was 'thanking' her.
By the way, Cynthia already had a +5. It was at a point where Emilia wasn't even sure if she could complete the punishment in one session, but… that would also depend on Cynthia's endurance.
