Today was the day for going with Clarissa and the next day would be with Laura and after that the Lantern Festival would start but it seems that things were bound to be changed.
"Rex, it seems that I will have to do sothing tomorrow, I won't be able to go to the black market with you"
"How about you go with Clarissa tomorrow"
At the ti when Clarissa ca for the date, she received the information and thought that sothing was wrong but knowing that she would be able to spend even more ti with him, she didn't think much of it.
Looking at the two of them, Laura who was watching from above had a bright smile on her face.
"It seems that it's true"
"Girls who are in love most of the ti beco dumb"
"Now, I just need to wait her to take the bait tomorrow"
Looking at the face of Clarissa who had a proud expression on her face, she couldn't help but want to do sothing back. She had another idea as her smile brightened even more.

Coming back ho after the date, Rex went to his room and took a shower as usual but when he ca out of the shower, he heard a knock on the door.
"Coming"
He opened the door to see Laura who had pyjamas and a pillow in her arms.
"Laura-nee"
"What are you...."
I am here for a sleepover"
"Laura-nee, I don't think it's appropriate for us"
Rex said with a troubled expression on his face.
"Appropriate or not is is said by people who don't know about our relationship"
"We have slept together when we were young"
"Why can't we do it now"
She raised an eyebrow, questioning him.
"Situations are different, Laura-nee"
"That was when we were young"
Seeing that Rex was still not letting her have her way, Laura continued her attack.
"What! Since you are all grown up now"
"You don't want to sleep with anymore"
She pouted with a cute expression on her face.
"Fine! Since it's like that..."
Laura motioned to leave, her expression as if she was hurt by his rejection. but her soft arm was grabbed her Rex.
"Okay, okay, you don't need to leave, Laura-nee"
"Hehe"
She had a victorious expression on her face as she quickly moved into his room. The bed was quite big so it was enough for the both of them with enough space. She quickly went to hear side on the bed where she always slept and started to use her phone while staying making herself comfortable as she always used to.
Night has reached and it was already 15 minutes later than what he usually slept at.
"It's already late, Rex"
"Why don't you co and sleep already, close your computer"
He knew that there was no escape to this and ca to the bed and went to his side of the bed.
"I am closing the lights now, Laura-nee"
"Umm hmm"
Lying on the bed after closing the lights, he couldn't sleep for a mont. Even though they used to sleep before. He had been sleeping alone for a long ti and he couldn't get used to it yet.
Looking to the opposite side of the bed, he saw Laura sleeping soundly. Not wanting to be left out, he soon fell asleep very soon.
But not known to him, Laura had a smile on her face as soon as he fell asleep. Opening her eyes, she looked at the sleeping face of Rex with a delicate smile on her face.
"This is the advantage of living in the sa house, Clarissa"
Before, when he had to go away from this house, she felt very sad and realized she loved him. It might be considered taboo in so specific countries but for nobles like them, it wasn't quite so.
Since realizing it, she had been expecting for the day, the chance to reunite with him and the chance had ca. She was not going to let it slip. As for Clarissa, Laura knew that she also liked him but didn't stop their relationship. Not only because it was her best friend, her rival but also because she wasn't quite certain in her ability to live beyond her maximum age limited by her body. Polygamy was quite common among nobility and royalty so she wasn't concerned about Clarissa that much but she had to be the main wife. She wanted to realize her dreams before she passed away and give birth to his babies, so that at the least he might be able to rember her through them but she rembered sothing, those who didn't have the constitution which his grandfather told about would suffer if they were to have a relationship with her regardless of realm.
"It seems that even that idea has to be scratched"
She already knew from her grandfather that her constitution was very special. It was not an ordinary Ice Yin constitution but the strongest of its kind, the Ice Empress Yin constitution. With her grandfather's status, even if it was difficult, it wasn't impossible to gain the Phoenix Flafruit. The tree of it was even in the possession of her grandfather. Reason to that was because of at the age of the ancestors of hers, there was also once a girl with an Ice Yin constitution. War was constantly raging at that point and it was very difficult to get information about such and unfortunately she died. Because of that, the father of that unfortunate girl started to plant the Phoenix Fla Tree instead of taking it himself. The Flafruit not only has the function to heal the disadvantages of the yin constitution, it could also increase the strength and Elental talent of Fire for those who consu it. Those who are of the yin constitution would not get the second benefit.
That ancestor buried his daughter along with the fruit and ti passed and now in the possession of their family was a fully mature Phoenix Fla Tree. His purpose was that in case those who were of their lineage suffered from such constitutions again, regardless of what condition it might be outside, they would be able to treat it so that they won't suffer similar to his own.
"I'm sorry Rex, but you will have to suffer from my advances a bit more"
A single tear slid down her cheek, landing softly on Rex's face. She quickly wiped it away with her sleeve, her lips forming a gentle smile.
"This is enough for tonight"
She murmured before lying back beside him. Touching his face with a smile, she slowly fell asleep beside him.
