The Tale of the Redeeming Villain

[Catherine's POV:]

"Mmm...." Drowsily I mumbled in my sleep as my consciousness began to clear up—and the memories of yesterday suddenly exhausted all my sleepiness.

"Ah!" I looked around the place and found myself still camping in the kitchen with my hands cuffed. The glass of water Blake gave me was empty since I drank it around midnight. And thankfully it wasn't drugged.

If anything, I slept like a log.

My clothes were messed up but it was surely because of the uncomfortable posture in which I slept.

'....strange...why hasn't he done anything to me? Let's assume he knows about the Goddess's blessing, but harming me in any other way was still possible?' I was not hoping to be tortured by Blake but this unnatural silence from his side was making me anxious.

'Ugh....need to pee...' I somehow got up on my feet before slowly walking towards the main hall.

I had no idea about where the bathroom was located but the way my stomach was hurting, I knew I didn't have the luxury to be cautious for long.

*Dhak* I kicked open one of the doors....only to find Blake standing on the other side.

"Hick!!" I suddenly dropped to my knees and lost control over my pelvic muscles and soon a pool formed around me.

I tried to control it...I did my best but...it was just....impossible.

The shame of being seen in such a humiliating position turned my senses dull as tears began to well up in my eyes.

"*Sniff*" I didn't try to wipe my tears and closed my eyes; waiting for Blake to ridicule me.

However, all I felt was two long arms hooking my legs and one supporting my back before I was lifted from the ground.

"Ah! What are you...." I panicked finding myself in Blake's arms as he advanced toward the living area without being bothered by the foul smell I was emanating.

"I cannot release your restraint but that doesn't mean I cannot help you clean up."

My eyes widened in shock hearing the word 'clean up'.

"Why would I let you see my naked form?! You, who have tricked me into this ugly state...I will never forgive you for this!"

My heart wrenched when I shouted those words. This man was so wicked and awful-minded that I felt disgusted being touched by him more than feeling my underwear being wet by my urine.

"I will pray to God for your loved one to face a similar situation as I am currently in."

Regardless of how much I insulted him or targeted his family in a fit of rage, it didn't affect me. He just walked toward the living room before pushing one of the doors.

Suddenly we were inside the bathroom before Blake placed me on the stool. I tried getting up and leaving, but he pressed his hand on my shoulders before locking the door.

"Why are you doing thi-mfhh!" He pressed his hand against my mouth and shut me up entirely. Why was he so strong for someone with such a weak skill?!

However, my focus suddenly diverted towards his mouth which suddenly adopted a familiar slithering tattoo on either side of his mouth.

My eyes widened as I realized that he was about to use his skill again. However, before I could have moved away or stopped him, he spoke up,

[I, Blake Vailhart, take the oath to bathe the Holy Maiden Catherine with my eyes tightly closed. If even once I gaze at her naked body or touch her anywhere inappropriate on my initiative, then I shall lose my eyesight.]

"---!!" It all happened in front of my eyes. Every single word resonated in my ears clearly....yet I wasn't able to believe what I just heard.

Regardless, Blake didn't seem affected by my shock as he pulled away his hand before taking a small face towel from nearby binding it around his head and covering his eyes.

"Just stand here. I will uncloth you." I didn't get the time to even properly react as he masterfully pulled away my shirt and unfastened my skirt.

Within half a second, I was left in my underwear.

"W-wha...." I wasn't able to comprehend what was just happening as I felt his fingers pull the string of my panty and unclasp my bra in a swift moment.

"You!! You said you wouldn't touch me inappropriately!" I said as I covered my breasts with my cuffed hand. The dilemma was, how should I cover my nether region?!

I crossed my legs and turned away for now.

"I never touched your skin tho....now quit being a child and stand on the stool. As I promised, I won't take a peek and won't touch you anywhere. Just tell me which side you are facing."

....there was something strange with this man.

Why is he doing this? Why did he take that oath mindlessly he said he never touched my skin even once. He just touched the fabric and my underwear dropped to the floor. In the first place, how was he so precise?

I contemplated for a moment about what should I do. Running away was impossible since if I tried to run away and somehow got entangled in him, he would get to feel my naked body without any consequences. He clearly said that he would get punished if he touched or saw me on his initiative.

"Ah!!" Suddenly, my reverie broke as Blake turned the knob and directed the hand shower in my direction.

"Stop...ah...."

"Just sit down or this will get messy."

"Guh...alright fine! I am facing the door!" With a huff, I sat down on the stool and placed my hands on my thighs.

It might be my imagination but I heard him chuckling just now.

*SSS*

The slightly warm water drenched me slowly from head to toe. The bathroom was spacious enough to allow Blake to move around with ease.

He gently poured water all over me before crouching down in front of me all of a sudden.

"Can you open your legs? I need to clean you thoroughly you know..."

My face went extremely red as I asked him, "How do you know I haven't opened my legs?" As he said I have kept my legs tightly shut. But if he isn't looking at me then how come...

"The water is hitting your knees and drenching my face. If you had-"

"Okay fine! Please don't elaborate on it." Somehow I was feeling more embarrassed hearing his words than being naked now.

He didn't leave a single spot on my body and even told me to stand up at some point so he could wash my behind.

"Well, it's done. Do you want me to continue?"

"No that's fine..."I said as I got up from the stool.

Suddenly the Vow he formed appeared in mid-air before it shattered—signifying the duration of the vow has been finished

I widened my eyes in shock. If he suddenly pulls the cloth away from his eyes and looks at me now...

"Don't worry; I won't. Here is a dry towel. I will get some clothes for you and leave them at the door."

Blake turned away without a second thought and handed me a towel with his back facing me.

I was so conflicted in my head that I even forgot to cover my breasts and took the towel from him.

"Thank you...." Mindlessly I stared at his back as he opened the door and walked out before closing it.

....is he the same Blake that I hated the most?
