Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210: Speech Struggles

Her expression was robotic. Eyes blank. Smile twitching.

Alice.

The little brocon pretended not to notice.

Instead of facing any possible allegations, she leaned deeper into Kaiden’s chest like a cat trying to vanish into a pillow. She tugged his coat forward with her dainty fingers, attempting to bury her face in it completely.

But this time, Kaiden wasn’t going to play along for even a second.

He sighed and reached down under her chin.

Alice instantly went stiff.

His finger gently pressed up.

But Alice wasn’t moving.

A full-blown power struggle had begun.

In her head, an entire civil war unfolded.

"Do not lift that chin! If you lift it, you’re gonna get scolded!"

"But it’s Kai! I don’t want to go against his wishes!"

"Doesn’t matter! He’s gonna be disappointed in you!"

"But... but he’ll pet my head after, if I apologize properly, maybe!"

"You taught a young, innocent child how to ritualistically murder dolls, you absolute maniac! What headpats are you expecting?!"

On the outside, her neck trembled with the tension of a medieval drawbridge caught between two armies. Her lips quivered. Her shoulders inched up defensively as if she could physically hide from consequence.

Yes, she was stronger than he. A higher-level awakened, faster, sharper, more potent.

But this was Kaiden.

Her brother.

And if he wanted her to lift her chin...

She would.

With agonizing reluctance, she let him guide her head up until her eyes met his. Slowly, painfully, greatly resembling a guilty kitten who got caught on the kitchen counter.

Before he could even start lecturing her, she blurted out her defense case like a child who’d been cooking it up the whole day.

"I only wanted to get closer to... t-to... to the family member... of... of your l-l-l-" her lips contorted in physical agony, "l-l-lov-"

"Just say it," Luna muttered flatly.

"Lo-ver!" Alice gagged the word out like it was acid on her tongue, then immediately turned her head.

The other girls watched this whole exchange with deadpan stares.

Nyx gave a slow thumbs-up. "I mean... A+ for effort."

Aria didn’t know how to react. Her anger had vanished from the sheer lunacy Alice put up by her mere existence. "I... I guess it’s okay this once...?"

Kaiden exhaled through his nose, eyes still focused on Alice.

"I appreciate you wanting to bond with Lux. But teaching her how to stab dolls at her age isn’t ideal. Especially not without her guardian’s permission."

Alice sniffed like a chastised puppy.

"I understand..." she mumbled, eyes watering.

Kaiden gave her hair a gentle pat in forgiveness.

She instantly leaned into it.

Meanwhile, Lux stood beside them, still holding her poor, decapitated plush, now upside down.
