BXBX NOVEL Chapter 337- Diana got Cucked?
Today, in one such division—the territory of the Riantain family—the inland area proved to be as bustling and vibrant as that of the other three families.
The skies were alive with the presence of multiple battleships, contributing to the lively atmosphere that pulsed with the energy of the inhabitants.
The air was thick with a dense fog of Ether, vividly illustrating the industrial sophistication and technological prowess that permeated the entire region.
Ether served not only as a vital source of power but also as reinforcement, and the sheer abundance of it signified the impressive arsenal the Riantain family had at their disposal.
At the heart of this industrious expanse stood the main palace, the residence of the head of the Riantain family.
Surrounding it were nine additional grand palaces, each belonging to various family members and some revered elders.
In the midst of this opulent setting, a woman made her way along a path flanked by lush gardens, accompanied by four individuals.
In her hand, she clutched a device displaying a report.
"Isn\'t it incredibly inconsiderate of you, my love~♡? Shouldn\'t you have come to see your dear instead of that dullard?"
A woman\'s voice, tinged with a mixture of annoyance and obsession, echoed through the garden, amplified by her two subordinates struggling to keep pace.
With blue hair dancing in the breeze, she waved her cane expressively, her frustration palpable as she scrutinized the report.
She rocked a short, tight white skirt that hugged her thighs, trimmed with a splash of red. Paired with black stockings and a fluffy white coat draped over her shoulder, plus a red tie accentuating her curvy figure, she really turned heads.
Diana struggled to push aside the resentment she held toward the man who had failed to seek her presence, instead choosing to meet someone else.
"Hmph, I hate—" Diana began, her eyes fixed upon the report, which informed her of Ryuk\'s current whereabouts in the Jade Dominion.
This information had been gathered from Jenny and two Riantain members she had sent alongside the high priest.
While she intended to vent her anger towards him, the intensity of her feelings made it difficult to articulate, so she settled for an exasperated, "Love you~♡!"
"Have I truly lost my mind?" Diana mused, tilting her head and glancing back at one of the Riantain members beside her, whose impassive expression offered no hint of emotion.
The woman, clad in the blue-striped uniform typical of the maids, answered honestly, "Yes," her straightforwardness unwavering even in light of its potential offensiveness towards Lady Diana.
After all, it was ingrained in their training to always speak the truth, regardless of the consequences—especially in front of their masters.
However, as members of the branch families, it was clear that even their lords were deterred from causing them harm due to the repercussions that would ensue from the branch families.
This meant that both the masters and the servants had to adhere to a certain code, careful not to cross lines they should not.
Yet, even this maid wasn\'t entirely certain if Lady Diana would forgo her usual restraint and lash out at her.
"How pitiful..." Diana muttered, narrowing her gaze, her expression growing blank.
She began to move forward, clearly finding it tedious to converse with individuals who, bound by the rules of the Riantain family, consistently suppressed their emotions and adhered strictly to principles.
Their rigidity was increasingly irritating her.
\'Are you seeing this Ryuk?
They say I\'m crazy, but isn\'t love supposed to be maddening?
I\'m not mad, darling.
I\'m simply devoted.
These fools can\'t comprehend the beauty of giving everything… and taking everything in return.\'
She wanted to teach this maid, but she couldn\'t do much after all.
The true problem lay not in their professionalism, but rather in the fact that they followed orders from her sister, who had explicitly forbidden Diana from leaving the confines of this place.
It had been several months since she last caught a glimpse of her beloved, wandering around with that golden-eyed girl, a sight that drove her mind to the brink of insanity as she remained oblivious to what he was currently doing.
Today, however, she felt a flicker of excitement as a week earlier she had conceived a plan to see her beloved once more.
\'Sigh, I know you\'re missing me, my darling~♡
Just as I miss you with every breath...\'
Diana thought, unable to suppress her excitement despite the annoyance that flared up at the thought of that golden-eyed girl growing closer to him.
But she brushed aside her worries, convinced that once her beloved discovered that girl\'s sister was none other than his traitorous maid, he would naturally abandon her.
Setting her thoughts aside, she continued down the corridor.
The servants were preoccupied with their duties, allowing her to move toward Aurora Nest—a unique dimension where a week on the Blue Star equated to an entire year in that realm.
Given the dimension\'s extraordinary nature, she pondered why she hadn\'t considered placing the Astral Oculus—the artifact that enabled her to present herself virtually somewhere else.
After the events of the day, the artifact had entered its cooldown period of ten months, but a week ago, after sending members of the Riantain family to search for Ryuk, she had an epiphany: why not utilize the time-altering capabilities of Aurora Nest to circumvent the limitations imposed by the artifacts?
At first, she doubted whether this plan would work, especially after the anger she had felt dealing with that woman.
However, she recently received news from one of her family guards—the artifact had reset and was ready for use.
\'Finally…\'
---
"Do not enter the room until I indicate otherwise,"
Diana instructed, stepping into her personal sanctuary.
After retrieving the artifacts herself, she gestured for the servant to remain outside.
The room, perfectly round and devoid of corners, featured a king-sized circular bed adorned with a single pillow and a delicate curtain that circled around it.
It was unmistakably Diana\'s sleeping quarters.
Snap
With a simple snap of her fingers, a vibrant red light illuminated the space.
In that instant, the entire room began to morph; the walls, floor, and even the ceiling transformed into a captivating display of portraits.
It was a portrait of a single man.
There was not a hint of expression on the faces of those portraits, all of which appeared to be crafted by hand, as if painted with care.
Indeed, they were all hand-drawn by Diana herself.
Thud
Diana couldn\'t help but wonder, her thoughts spiraling into a mix of excitement and longing.
If only she could transform into him, she would snap countless pictures, but no—she craved the original, not some facsimile.
Each time she imagined merging into him, her heart would shatter at the thought, as if they were losing their individuality.
"This will do," she murmured.
Unlike the previous instance when anger clouded her mind and she failed to capture his essence on camera—resulting in a portrait painstakingly drawn from memory—this time she was equipped with a different artifact.
It had been crafted using advanced photon technology, allowing her to record a moment and embed it directly on the empty wall in her room.
Of course, once embedded, that video would play on loop forever.
But who cared about eternity when she could have him watching over her?
Wouldn\'t it be thrilling to wake each morning to find him there, gazing at her with undeniable affection?
With a mischievous twinkle in her eye, she settled the Oculus snugly on her head. Determined not to repeat past mistakes where her voice had slipped out, she made sure to deactivate the voice leak option.
Lying flat on her bed, her hand resting gently on her abdomen, she infused mana into the device, which began to glow.
As it pinpointed the location of her beloved, her sweet yet obsessive voice echoed through the room.
"Soon, Ryuk, you\'ll see it was always meant to be me. And when you do, I\'ll be there, arms open, waiting to embrace you—whether your heart comes willingly… or screaming, fufu~"
WHOOSH
Diana felt her heart race as the Astral Oculus kicked in, the familiar, eerie hum of the artifact vibrating through her like a low bass note.
Everything around her blurred and twisted, and then—boom—she was suddenly in a whole new place. It was a garden lit up by this weird, surreal glow from the moon.
This was definitely nighttime, unlike the day she\'d experienced back in Ardros, which really showed just how far she\'d traveled.
The night enveloped her in a soft shimmer that felt completely different from the bright day view she had just left behind. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Where am I?" Diana stood there, and due to her enhanced senses, she could clearly hear and even feel the gentle breeze playing with the leaves of some exotic plants. The air was full of the sweet smell of flowers, mixed with a vibe that felt deeper and more meaningful.
But given the detecting energy signature the artifact had brought her here, she didn\'t know the exact location. Though, of course, it had to be Jade Dominion, she still couldn\'t see where her love was.
"HNGHH~! AAHHNNG~! S-slow....Ahn—!"
\'!?\'
But then that all vanished in a heartbeat when she heard a strange sound, which, due to her enhanced senses, was far too audible, prompting her to slowly turn in that direction.
It felt like time stopped.
No...it was her heart that seemed to stop beating.
Her blue eyes, unblinking even in the breeze, reflected the scene before her—a woman, naked and sprawled on the ground, her chest pressed to the grass, her body arched upward as her hips were raised high.
Her back curved like a bow, the muscles of her spine tense and exposed, while her legs were spread wide, knees bent and hands gripping the grass.
The man behind her was towering, his body rippling with muscle, each movement strong and controlled as his hands gripped her hips.
\'N-no....\'
Diana seemed to be in trance as she could see the force of his thrusts, the rhythm that caused the woman\'s body to sway with each powerful motion. Her bare skin glistened in the moonlight, flushed and trembling with every movement.
Diana\'s eyes noticeably quivered, her pupils shrinking as her lips, which had appeared frozen just moments before, began to tremble. Her trembling hands rising as she grabbed her hair, unleashing a deafening yell as she felt her whole mind shut down.
"NO! N-N-NOOO! AAHH, S-STOP! D-Don\'t t-t-tain... him... HE\'S MINE! DON\'T TAINT MY RYUK!!!"
