Rosana’s sweat glistened in the sunlight, trickling beneath her crimson dress. Her gaze was wild yet carried a piercing glint, dissecting l’s every small gesture.
Unbothered, l smirked with confidence as she strode towards Rosana. "Not gonna attend any lecture?"
"Sa to you." The Heiress grinned, an arrogance that softly clashed against l’s tease. "I’m aware of this academy’s prestige, which is why I’m willing to see how far I could accomplish without their curriculum."
l stopped, staring up at Rosana’s draconic red eyes. A dragon’s wild nature, perfectly tad within two blood-red eyes of a human.
Her lips curled into a gentle smile. "Forget your vow to have first place in every subject?"
Frowning, the Heiress leaned down a little, blonde hair floating down like curtains. "Don’t worry. I never doubt my victory. Rather, I can never stand it if I do doubt myself for a second."
Then, a craze briefly crossed her red eyes. "However, I’m always open to surprises."
l tilted her head, ’unintentionally’ tickling her cheek against Rosana’s hair. "Seems like an exhausting lifestyle."
"It’s the opposite." The Heiress’s voice grew heavy. "It is dull and unimaginative."
And as if on cue, Rosana pulled back and respected l’s calm deanor, despite her unknown intention to approach her.
She settled onto the floor, spreading her dress across her thighs. "That’s why I welco unpredictability, like you."
l chuckled as she sat beside her. "Well, how honoured I am."
Rosana raised a brow, folding her leg as she rested her cheek on her palm with her elbow propped on the knee.
"Honoured because of my prestige as the only Half-Dragoness?" She provoked, smirking. "Or because of my position as the only Heiress-in-line for the Northern Dukedom?"
She half-expected l to ntion her beauty, her accomplishnts. Or perhaps just her
l tapped her cheek, feigning innocence. "Would you believe I didn’t think much?"
Rosana snickered. "The Third Princess gave the sa excuse."
"Poor Selaria." l sighed, yet her lips remained curled up. "Well, for , you’re right. I did co here with my purpose, not that I want to lie if possible.
She then cupped her chin in the sa posture as Rosana had, staring right into her smug eyes.
"It would be a lie, however, if I claid I don’t enjoy your company."
As Rosana’s lips slightly trembled in surprise, l almost exhaled a hum of adoration.
Sothing in Rosana’s wild beauty attracted her. Perhaps the possessive indifference from the Witch of Greed aroused her competitiveness, but she won’t deny she found fondness in small victories over the Heiress.
So being carried away, she muttered. "Are you the sa as well? Because I’m sincere, in how only Miss Rosana can make feel this way."
The seductive tone weighed in Rosana’s mind as she observed l further.
She thought of l as a snake who hid her venom, but even as the Heiress was poisoned, all she could taste was sweetness instead of danger.
[ Greed, for a mont, let down her guard willingly! ]
[ Greed favourability: 31 -> 34 ]
A strange comfort welled up in the Heiress’s chest as she spoke. "Do you think of yourself as different?"
l shook her head. "The opposite. I think of myself the sa as any other."
The Witch of Lust may plan to seduce, but not lie about her feelings to Rosana.
With mories drifting back to her old World, she smiled with nostalgia. "I admired your confidence. I admired your selfishness. I admired how you made an effort to prove yourself."
After all, she spent her salary on ’pulling for Rosana’ for a reason. She may have regretted her impulsive spending, but never pour it on the Heiress herself!
Then, words slipped out of l’s lips. "Though I won’t deny I’m mostly liking your look. If nothing else, I’m not blessed with a sweaty blonde beauty as eye candy every day."
Rosana blinked, her lips slightly ajar for l’s boldness.
An intrusive thought settled inside her as she swept her drippy hairlock behind her ear. "Better?"
l gulped as the exposed neck, beads clinging to the skin as if to beckon for a taste. "Much better."
The Heiress stifled a laugh. "Quite a simple person, you are."
l’s lips puffed into a playful pout. "So what? Are you calling it a sin to be attracted to beauty?"
Rosana mused a little. Beauty, is it?
The simple concept of ’admiration’ dangled on the Heiress’s mind.
And before she knew it, her hand stretched itself to cup l’s chin, ’admiring’ the puffy, milky skin that would surely taste better than any gourt she indulged on.
Her breath hitched as her gaze locked with l’s. The divinely golden eyes sparkled with a particular, hopeful wonder.
"I was wrong." The Heiress muttered. "It would seem I’m also a simple person myself."
Self-acceptance eased the Heiress’s mind. She was always one to admit wrong when prompted quickly.
[ Greed couldn’t help but be delighted by your cuteness as well! ]
[ Greed favourability: 34 -> 38 ]
"Thanks." l let out a bubbly giggle. Like Lila’s praise, the Heiress’s confession of beauty brought her a joyful warmth.
With a hint of regret, she slipped free from her grasp before standing up with a faint blush.
She brushed the dust off her school skirt. "You said you welco surprises?"
The Heiress nodded. "I did."
She stared at her fingers, her skin lingering, and she needed to touch l again.
Unaware of the Heiress’s perverted compulsion, l challenged Rosana. "Then, want a spar to pass the ti? Break up the dull routine like you said?"
The Heiress raised a brow, eying l’s glossy, fragile lips.
A mory from a certain blue bum peeked from the edge of her mind, before she smirked. "I fully accept from soone who once defeated . Yet, it’d be too boring if it’s a re spar."
She then raised a finger. "One request. You will fulfill my one request upon defeat. The sa goes for you."
She licked her lips, wondering how the little blue bunny would feel if she repaid her humiliation in full.
l glossed over the Heiress’s suggestion, yet her observant gaze caught the mischievous gleam in Rosana’s smile.
Thanks for the assist, Lila. l only felt gratefulness in her heart as she exclaid. "Of course!"
She already knew how to take full advantage of Rosana’s generosity.
