.... I am 100/100 sure I put the timeline right for posting... How did chapters 190 and 191 swap?! I really don't know,

.....

'Uh... Actually, I was just practicing techniques with Nova, all for better serving you!'

Renji thought that if he really said this, not only would Suthia in his arms stab him, but Nova, pretending to sleep on the bed, would also join in.

'I had been too careless.'

'Way too careless!'

Renji, frozen in place, truly hadn't expected that, after all his calculations and seeing victory just within reach, he would stumble at the last moment on his originally most confident aspect - his "skills."

His strategic goal for the night was not just to appease Thia, as he had told Nova. With the atmosphere built up to this point, a night shared between the three of them seemed reasonable, right?

Well, now...

Even a solo 'flight' seemed uncertain.

But there was no turning back now, no way to go back.

It's hard to pretend in these matters. The body's instincts remember those techniques and methods. This must be the so-called "curse of knowledge," right? Suthia's hand was already on Renji's chest, precisely over his heart.

Reji's heart, which was "thumping" wildly at this moment, had already proven everything to Suthia.

"So... those video sent by Lena, they were all real, weren't they, My Lord?" The nun gently traced circles over Renji's heart with her finger while continuing to look up at him with a benign smile.

"That, Thia, listen to me, I mean... um, let me explain!"

"Explain what? That Sister Nova is more sexy than Thia? Or that mentioning Thia's name made Nova even more excited?" The nun asked Renji with an innocently curious face.

"Cough... cough, cough, cough! "

Before Renji could say much, Nova, "sound asleep" on the bed, seemed unable to hold back and started coughing violently while keeping her eyes shut.

'Sigh... '

With a resigned sigh, Suthia stopped teasing. She straightened her expression and said very seriously to Renji:

"Lord Ashen, could you please go somewhere else for a while? Thia wants... to have a private chat with Sister Nova."

"Don't be like that, with our relationship, is there anything you need to hide from me?" Renji immediately refused, not daring to leave the nun and the dragoness alone in the room.

Unfortunately, Suthia blinked and nodded, "I think so too. Then why did My Lord hide things from Thia with Nova before?"

"Uh..."

Renji was momentarily left speechless by the nun's retort. Under Suthia's urging gaze, he reluctantly walked to the door, but before stepping out, he couldn't help but say:

"Look, Thia, you've seen that Nova is really weak now, so... if you really want to vent, just take it out on me!"

Suthia: "..."

The nun sighed again, saying, "My Lord, although I know you're worried about Sister Nova, defending another woman in front of a woman might only backfire, you know?"

"Don't worry. The reason I asked you to leave temporarily is just to have some girl talk with Sister Nova."

Hearing this, Renji frowned even more, instinctively saying, "Girl talk? But haven't you both been alive for almost hundreds of years... uh."

"I see, I see! Then I'll just take a stroll outside! You two feel free to chat!"

Renji, seizing the opportunity before the situation got out of hand, quickly closed the door for Suthia.

After he left, the nun looked at Nova still "deeply asleep" on the bed. After sitting down upon removing her holy boots, she said somewhat helplessly, "Alright, Sister Nova, stop pretending."

'Seeing that things had reached this point, it seemed Master's plan had failed'. Nova got up from the bedding, looked at the nun sitting opposite her, and bit her teeth, saying, "Come on, Thia, but... please, just not these horns."

"Sister Nova, why do you too... What am I in your hearts, a demon?" The nun sighed for probably the umpteenth time that night.

Then, seemingly to soothe Nova, who still seemed caught "in the act," the nun sat next to her, shoulder to shoulder, imitating Renji's earlier posture, and took Nova's hand.

"Don't worry Sister Nova, I've thought about it. We can't fight among ourselves, otherwise... we'd really fall into Lena's trap."

"Lena... So it was really her who told you?"

"Not just that, Sister Nova, you should look at this first."

Suthia then took out the crystal ball sent from the sealed city. fre(e)webno(v)el

After showing the images inside to Nova,

"Lena!" Nova Angrily gnashed her teeth, uttering the name of the succubus.

Soon after, when Nova thought about how Suthia had already seen all these things, no wonder she knew and understood so much, Nova felt even more ashamed in front of the nun.

It can be said that as much as Nova had sought thrills in the past, now she felt just as low in front of Suthia.

And this...

Was exactly the effect Suthia wanted!

In the place unseen by Nova, a triumphant smile curled at the corner of the nun's mouth.

After "relieving herself" in the confession room, Suthia had calmed down a lot. She quickly realized that if she really fought with Nova over this, not only would their recently repaired relationship be wasted, but it would also drastically worsen her image in her Lord's eyes, and might even anger him.

And these, perhaps, was Lena's purpose in sending her the crystal ball! It was exactly what the succubus wanted to see! As a result, not only did their unbreakable alliance become a joke, but Lena didn't even need to intervene personally. She could just sit back and watch the fight, reaping the benefits of the fisherman.

The nun, having figured this out, naturally wouldn't follow Lena's expectations anymore.

Instead.

She planned to turn the tables, taking advantage of her psychological upper hand to fully bring Nova into her camp. Oh no, as punishment, she should also train Nova into a red dragon that only listens to her...

The shadow of her bangs covered half of the nun's face, her deep eyes shining with a red glint, a sickly obsessed smile growing wider on Thia's lips.

As a woman beside her Lord, she had to learn to adapt to the environment. Clearly, the sickly obsessed killer was out of her element. The new era belonged to those who played tactically.

She had no choice; the threat from Lena was too great. The pink-haired succubus's intelligent level was obviously a bit higher than hers. To compete with her, she couldn't fight alone; she had to give up something to win.

"It's okay, Sister Nova. Actually, Thia doesn't mind at all. Because when I was with Lord Asehn, we occasionally play some interesting games too, but we always keep things clear afterward, right?"

"Mhm!" Nova nodded vigorously.

"But, Sister Nova, Thia is still very afraid... Because I trust Sister Nova, but what about the others? What if they, like Sister Nova, use Thia for their amusement?"

"Thia is the weakest among us all, I can only be the smallest. Even if I'm bullied, like now, being humiliated by Lena's video, I can only swallow my pride, sob sob."

Seeing the nun's tearful, pitiful, and frail appearance in front of her, Nova's protective instincts were instantly triggered.

Coupled with her guilt towards Thia, Nova seemed to regain her empress-like demeanor from the days in the Dragon Palace. Raising her majestic, imposing dragon horns, she proudly declared to the nun:

"With me here, I won't let Thia be bullied!"

"No, Sister Nova, you don't understand. We humans really care about status. As long as Thia remains the smallest, no one will respect me." The nun blinked at Nova.

Spurred by these words, and indeed being worked up, Nova blurted out, "Then from now on, Thia, you be the big sister, and I'll Follow!!"
