The Devil Withinn - Chapter 239

“I guess I found my new favorite song.”

Raghnall spoke with a soft voice that was filled with awe as he held a warm smile. The playfulness from his demeanor was momentarily gone at the moment which made Inna slightly shocked.

Then with his warm blue eyes, he looked at her as though he was looking at something amazing.

He looked as though he was fully mesmerized by her and her singing even though she must’ve looked like a drunk hobo caroling in the streets.

Then, his words finally registered in her mind…

“Your favorite song? Why? You don’t even know the whole thing…”

Raghnall’s smile widened as he gazed at her with a mysterious gaze in his eyes. They held emotions that seemed to be suppressed so that Inna wouldn’t be able to figure them out.

“I don’t need to. Your singing made that song to be, by far, the best song I’ve heard so I’m claiming it as my favorite too.”

Hearing the hidden compliment in his statement, Inna suddenly turned as red as a tomato as she instinctively hid her face behind her sleeves. Then, trying to hide her embarrassment, she decided to cry out.

“S-shut up! Your praises wouldn’t do you any good!”

Her voice was strong and steady at the end but there was still a slight tremble in it that made Inna curse as she turned impossibly redder.

Raghnall saw the redness on her ears that wasn’t covered well by her sleeves and he couldn’t help but tug on her sleeves to try and get a better look at her hidden face.

He’d never seen her this red before and to say he was curious was an understatement.

He had this feeling that it was a once in a lifetime opportunity and so, he tried to gently pry her hands away from her face.

But Inna knew exactly what he was planning to do, and so, mustering up all her strength despite her drunkenness, she made her arms as sturdy as steel.

Raghnall groaned in frustration at her immense strength despite being drunk. And hearing his frustrated groan, Inna couldn’t help but release a giggle in amusement.

But then, she later regretted it because it soon made Raghnall think up a mischievous idea.

With her whole face covered by her sleeves, Inna could only rely on her ears to know what was happening until she could feel the redness of cheeks disappear.

But aside from Raghnall’s earlier groan, she could no longer hear anything from him. There was not even a sign of breathing near her which made her alarm bells ring.

That little fucker didn’t leave her, did he?!

She was about to explode into a series of swearing when she finally felt arms pressed on her sides.

More specifically, the hands of these arms were located by the curve of her waist.

A known sensitive spot for some people…

But ha! Not her. She’s not going to be affected by such a childish thing.

“You little ragdoll, I know what you’re planning and it’s not gonna wo-ahAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!”

Raghnall’s fingers went wild as he playfully poked her sides. Despite expecting it, it still caught Inna by surprise and she couldn’t help but let out a loud squeal as she suddenly fell into a heap on the floor. But even though she fell, she was still able to hide her face with her sleeves as she tried to protect herself from Raghnall’s relentless tickling attacks.

Forming a fetal position, Inna tried hard to control her instincts to laugh. She really didn’t like the foreign feeling of involuntarily convulsing under his mercy and being forced to laugh out loud despite herself.

Because as far as she could remember, she was never ticklish!

Her little minions tried it on her once but she just ended up smacking them on their heads from how much it hurt.

But the moment Raghnall pressed on her sides, she realized that she was after all, in a different body!

And so, in just a few seconds of Raghnall smilingly tickling her to death, Inna finally could not take it anymore and so, while still giggling and panting, she cried out.

“S-stop! S-stop! Ra-Rag.. I SURRENDER!”

Inna screamed at the top of her lungs as she pounded on his chest for him to know she was serious.

Raghnall stopped immediately when he heard her words and with a satisfied smile, he patted her head as he took a good look at her reddened flustered face with a few strands of her hair sticking everywhere. She looked absolutely messed up. So much so that it was as though she just fought with a hurricane. Taking another look, he couldn’t help but laugh merrily.

“Heh, this night is truly the most memorable one as of yet. Well, let’s all just forget the previous ruckus and chaos of today and just let today be known as the day our little Ninny has finally surrendered to the Great Me. And also, additionally, let us remember on this night, the Great Me has finally gotten ahold of a secret weapon that can make little Ninny tremble in fear.”

Rolling her eyes at his dramatic proclamation, Inna swatted his hand that was resting on her head. But when she was about to retort something, she suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion run through her whole body and she unconsciously let out a huge yawn.

“Wow, and the Great Me even has the power to put her into sleep.”

Raghnall remarked playfully while chuckling but Inna no longer had the energy to play along with his jokes.

It was probably the longest day she ever had in her new life and it absolutely drained her. She was tired physically, mentally, and emotionally from everything that happened.

More so when she was tickled endlessly by that asshole.

But her exhaustion must’ve been masked by the buzz of the alcohol.

And since her body was on the process of washing off that high buzzing effect, the fatigue soon began to catch up to her. And so, with a mumbled ‘good night,’ Inna comfortably fell asleep despite being sprawled out on the cold hard floor.
