"l... don’t just stand there..."
Lila pouted, her cheek practically burrowing into the wooden door. "That Saintess was hiding sothing by leaving you with for one second. She’s too suspicious!"
From today, Lila could tell how obsessive and controlling Maria was to l.
Leaving her alone with l? Suspicious!
"Lila..." l chuckled tiredly. "I did put a barrier for Maria downstairs so you won’t hear anything."
"Oh, that makes sense now... wait."
Lila snapped her gaze before locking on l’s mischievous look. "Why?"
"Hm..."
l’s lips curled up before she winked. "Secret. So I can seduce Maria a little... more?"
"That’s-"
Lila shut herself, frustration pulping as her cheeks bloated.
Standing up, she squeezed l’s cheeks. "Don’t think I didn’t know you were respecting her privacy and all that."
"Mm... sorry, my Lila..."
"l."
With a scowl, Lila leaned in and embraced l tightly.
Peeking up from l’s chest, she groaned.
"I know what you’re doing. Respecting others’ secrets until they can tell them is great, and I also felt a great sense of comfort because of it."
Then, Lila’s cheeks puffed up again. "But you should reserve that privilege for alone. Be more shaless towards others..."
"Hehe..." l patted Lila. "I am shaless, Lila. But so secrets need ti to spill themselves before we can forcefully dig them out."
Especially when l couldn’t budge Maria, both in tongue or bed.
Uh, literally.
Coughing twice, a faint blush flashed across l’s cheeks before the door creaked open.
"Oh."
Closing the door behind her, Maria’s (still in disguise) brows perked up as she sniffed around the room.
"Ah." She hid a smirk behind her palm. "Refreshing."
Lila’s cheeks flushed at the remark, her arms locking onto l’s waist as she squinted at ’Aria’.
Or as she confird to herself, Maria.
"What were you talking about earlier?"
She burrowed herself into l’s chest, locking a glare at Maria as if flaunting l as a trophy.
"Nothing much."
Maria tilted her head as a jealous chuckle slipped out of her.
Her fingers danced in the air; a divine barrier veiled the room as she began to step near the portal.
l blinked at the orange-tinted magic coating the walls before fading without a trace.
A barrier, similar to l’s.
"I have simply talked with an old colleague, now turned enemy of mankind."
Maria shrugged as she walked past Lila, then turned to face l’s smooth back.
She licked her lips; the sumr violet dress clung loosely to l’s back, an innocence wrapping a sweet figure.
"Ah..."
Maria sighed as she hugged l from behind, her chest sliding up l’s skin as her arms encircled l’s neck.
A muffled moan escaped l’s lips; the sensation of Lila’s head in her chest, and Maria’s body lting into her back, too much to handle.
With a comforted wl, Maria settled her cheek onto l’s shoulder. "I miss this too much... I wonder if I should strap you to the bed all day sotis..."
"Mm... Partner..."
l shuffled amid the hug-sandwich, her eyes threatening to water with pleasure.
Every slight tilt of Maria and Lila’s bodies against her own? So unbearable that she wanted to push them all to bed now!
"So who was the enemy you were speaking of?"
"Oh? It was just the forr Pope, no worries."
Lila gasped as she shot her head up. "Forr Pope?!"
She stared into Maria’s eyes, questioning the authenticity.
"Forr Pope, yes."
Maria closed her eyes in contrast, unbothered as she buried into l’s scent.
"He rarely made a public appearance, so those from the countryside like you wouldn’t know what he looked like."
l, too, shook a little.
The information about the Forr Pope in-ga was skewed, as most perspectives revolved around Calina instead of the Saintess and her Past.
Maria smiled solemnly, guessing l’s little shock.
How much more surprised could l be? If she suddenly knew the Pope was once Maria’s father?
With Lila here, Maria decided to discuss the Pope’s matter privately.
Shifting her head slightly, Maria nipped l’s exposed shoulder, cleaning Lila’s hickey with her own.
"Though I do always assu he possessed a perception-block magic. That sly old fox never revealed his cards to once..."
"Oh?" l raised a brow, idly buckling her waist against Lila and Maria’s. Priority.
"Soone you couldn’t figure out? That’s rare."
"Not necessarily."
Planting a final hickey right below l’s ear, Maria puffed hot air into the reddened spot, admiring how l shivered at the tickleness.
"The truth remains that whatever troubles he conjured, I could easily erase it with my , and your , l."
Maria’s Calculative Mind and readiness, paired with her , could manipulate even death and economy at her will.
The rest was the mass panic or traumas that would have ensued, but all could also be erased from l’s .
"Well well, where’s the moral and fairness at this point?" l teased, though her smirk betrayed her words.
"When your enemy chooses an amoral thod, it’s only dutiful that we respond with the sa."
Maria snuggled into l’s neck. "I learn that well from soone I hold very dearly."
"Ah, I assu that’s then?"
"Hm. I do wonder. Maybe it was the Goddess?"
"Partner..."
"Hehe." Maria licked l’s skin. "Well, I can tell you if
"You two..."
Feeling left out of the conversation, Lila wiggled uncomfortably as her grasp over l’s waist weakened.
Despite , Lila was protected too much beforehand to keep up with the two’s plotting.
"Should I... well," Lila fidgeted. "You know..."
"Lila, stay."
l’s arms finally moved to hug Lila, her palm smoothing her back with a motherly expression.
"I understand you feel afraid of being left behind, but all the more reason you should not leave my side."
l whispered as she leaned into Lila’s neck. "Or? Want to revoke your First Wife Privilege?"
"Absolutely not!"
Reminded she in the first place to stand as l’s equal in the first place, Lila groaned. "Don’t you dare! I still haven’t bragged to Rosana yet before you ensnare her."
"Of course, of course!"
Lila hmphed, before glancing back at the smiling Saintess.
Eh? Lila froze a little upon observing a glint of bloodlust slicing through Maria’s smiley look.
"What is it?"
Yet as Maria mumbled, Lila shook her head.
Maria’s face now softened with apology, as half of her cheek dug into l’s neck to hide her full expression.
