So, in this bedtime story, am I the villain?

Playing along with the "Evil Prince Lion Heart" in the story, Leon couldn't help but touch his own face with that possessive, mischievous smile, and then he tried smiling again in the mirror in the Director's office.

"Hehehe..."

In the stereotypical villain laughter of children's literature, what appeared in the mirror was a face full of evil, cunning, insidious, despicable... and other negative traits, with even a bit of a lecherous look.

Damn... my image is completely ruined...

He tried correcting it twice in the mirror, but no matter how he twisted the muscles of his face, it always appeared as that sinister pervert face. Leon couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly, then turned his head and cast a lecherous glance at the red-haired Director beside him.

"???"

Seeing that evil, insidious, and lewd gaze pass over him, the red-haired Director couldn't help but hiss, then said thoughtfully:

"After being affected by that [Bedtime Story], not only will your physique and strength be suppressed to the level of the character, but even your appearance and behavior will align with the character?"

"Right! Right!"

Upon hearing the red-haired Director's speculation, Leon's eyes immediately lit up with a lustful glow as he replied with a playful laugh:

"You guessed it! No wonder I've been yearning for a long time but never got you, it seems besides your looks and figure, there's also... cough! Ahem, ahem, ahem! %&*#￥"

Lifting a hand to choke his own throat, he barely stopped the dirty words from slipping out. His Highness the evil Prince Lion Heart blushed, with an evil and difficult expression, and said:

"Olivia, you really... understand me?"

"Of course I understand; it's all the effect of that [Bedtime Story]."

Patting Leon's shoulder in comfort, as relief washed over his face, the red-haired Director said somewhat wistfully:

"It seems that the ability of [Narration of Nonexistence] not only drags people into stories but also draws out suppressed desires hidden in people's hearts. I didn't expect you to have been thinking about me for so long."

"???"

"What? Am I not the only one you've been thinking about?"

Seeing Leon's gaze that was three parts floaty and seven parts astonished, the red-haired Director couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, then said with a teasing smile:

"Are you imagining holding both women in your arms, one arm around me and the other around Emma, then kissing the left one and grabbing the right... hey? Don't walk away!"

Why should I stay? To be teased by you?

Realizing she was again finding amusement at his expense, His Highness the evil Prince Lion Heart couldn't help but darken his face and then decisively turned to leave. However, before Leon could reach the office door, someone had already grabbed his arm.

"Don't be mad~"

At some point, having circled around the desk to catch up with Leon, the red-haired Director held his arm, blinking coquettishly:

"You were the one giving me the lecherous look first. I just couldn't resist teasing you a bit because the atmosphere was so good. Why are you mad and walking away~"

I... I have my reasons, okay? If it wasn't for the [Bedtime Story], I definitely wouldn't look at you like that, but you're definitely doing this just for fun!

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore, is that okay~"

Blinking regretfully, the red-haired Director cleared her throat with a serious expression and said:

"Leon, when I grabbed you just now, I also checked your physical condition a bit. Under the influence of the [Bedtime Story], your strength, stamina, and reaction speed have all decreased significantly to the level of an ordinary person."

"Hmph, of course, I, the Prince, know that!"

"..."

Seeing Leon respond arrogantly while his ears turned a bit red with embarrassment, the red-haired Director couldn't help but hiss and barely restrained the urge to tease again, continuing with a serious analysis:

"Additionally, regarding the situation with abnormal objects, you'd better test those abnormal objects in your possession. I have a feeling that those exceeding your character's level may no longer be usable."

What?!

Leon was a bit startled to hear this, and he immediately touched his cuff to summon the young Ha in the Mirror World.

Thankfully, although Young Ha is also considered an abnormal "object" to some extent, its ability to traverse the Mirror World and reality should be considered a racial talent of its own, so it hasn't been restricted; Young Ha still responded to his call.

"Woof!"

With a slightly puzzled bark, the most frequently used [Silver Dagger of Cutting] was delivered into Leon's palm, and he immediately gripped the handle of the Cutting Silver Dagger and tried slicing at the desk in front of him.

"Ssssh"

With the sound of the sharp object cutting through the wood grain, the sharp silver knife in Leon's hand plunged effortlessly into the sturdy desktop, carving a groove two centimeters deep.

But unlike before, this time the desktop was not "alive" to heal, but was actually cut by the Cutting Silver Dagger, and after Leon pulled the blade out, the groove did not heal.

"..."

It really can't be used anymore...

After trying several abnormal objects and finding most unresponsive, Leon's frown deepened, and he then looked up at the red-haired Director, with an expression four parts evil and six parts playful:

"If you have any ideas, just say it. When I, the Prince, return, I'll definitely take time to reward you properly!"

"Oh?"

Faced with Leon's teasing invitation again, the red-haired Director's eyebrows arched slightly, and she wrapped her arm in his, teasing with a seductive look:

"What kind of reward are you talking about? And where are you planning to reward me? Is it in the reception room upstairs? Or right here in this office... *cough cough*... this [Bedtime Story] really is something, even I'm quite affected!"

"???"

What nonsense are you talking about? Affected? Clearly you're just... wait, that's not right!

Seeing the red-haired Director suddenly get serious and let go of his arm, Leon, who thought he was in trouble, was momentarily stunned, then quickly turned to look at the door.

As expected, the ever-punctual Miss Zhuangpo was standing awkwardly at the door, heads down, fingers frantically twisting her skirt hem... and I can't even use abnormal objects, yet you still managed to arrive on time?

"Your Highness, Lady Olivia..."

In Leon's surprised gaze, Miss Zhuangpo pretended not to have seen anything, grit her teeth, walked in, then intertwined her hands in front of her abdomen and curtsied slightly, proposing nervously:

"Should I... prepare the bed for you two?"
