After Loraviel had thoroughly absorbed Liana’s energy, about an hour had passed since Liana had left the office room. If this continued, she would be disturbing Erinna’s rest by going over.

Loraviel patted Liana’s clothes and checked her thoroughly.

She pulled at her collar. Underneath, there was still a bite mark from Loraviel. If this were to be discovered, the problem would be very serious.

Moreover, Liana was now wearing regular clothes, not her pajamas. This was also one of Loraviel’s conditions. After all, pajamas would be too revealing.

“I know exactly what kind of changes your body goes through,” Loraviel said with a sweet smile.

The implication was that if Duchess Erinna did anything to Her Highness, she would know.

“I really won’t do anything!!!” Liana pinched Loraviel’s cheek. Have a little more trust, will you!

In other matters, Loraviel could trust Liana unconditionally one hundred percent. But once it came to matters between Liana and other girls, she would start to distrust her.

Although, what Loraviel did seemed to be incorrect. Her suspicion was not wrong...

One had to admit, Loraviel really did know her well.

“There’s nothing strange about me now, right?” Liana looked. The places on her body with Loraviel’s marks were all covered by her clothes. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t be discovered, and Liana wouldn’t possibly let Erinna discover them.

Loraviel looked carefully. She came up behind Liana and sniffed. That scent that made one’s heart race had already faded a lot.

“No problem, Your Highness.”

“Then I’ll go first? If Erinna is already asleep, then I’ll come back,” Liana said.

“Okay.”

Liana left her room and came to Erinna’s door, reaching out to knock.

But there was no reply.

“Is she asleep?” Liana murmured in a small voice.

But then again, Erinna had a key to her room. And in turn, Liana also had a key to Erinna’s.

Liana held the key, but would it be very impolite to just go in like this?

What if Erinna was changing clothes or something at this time? Wouldn’t it be very awkward?

No, that’s unlikely.

Liana thought about it carefully.

There were only two possibilities for Erinna not replying. One was that she was secretly handling the affairs of the Lisat Kingdom in her room. The other was that she was asleep.

Then she had to go and take a look. To confirm whether Erinna was sleeping well was also something an older sister should do!

Liana inserted the key. Erinna hadn’t changed the lock, just as she herself hadn’t changed hers.

When Liana pushed open the door, she could hear a clear sound of surprise from Erinna.

This girl really isn’t asleep!

“Didn’t I tell you to get a good rest? Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Liana closed the door and walked into the room.

“Sister Liana?!” Erinna was currently leaning against the bed, the quilt covering her body, her hands also under the quilt. But she looked a little nervous now.

“Eh?” Liana had thought she would be sitting at her desk dealing with files and such. She hadn’t expected her to be in bed. “Are you getting ready to rest now?”

“...Mm-hmm!” Erinna nodded repeatedly, her face a little flushed. But because the lights were out, Liana didn’t notice.

Why did she suddenly come in at a time ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) like this...

Only Sister Liana has a key to my room, so I let my guard down. And at that time, it was the most crucial moment...

“Why did you come, Sister Liana?” Normally, Erinna would be very happy and would get down from the bed to come before her. But now...

She hoped Liana would stand there for a while, to let her deal with her current predicament.

But Liana had no intention of stopping and chose to come directly to the side of her bed. After all, the layout of Erinna’s room was almost identical to her own. And since the lights were already out, there was nothing much to see.

“Wh... what is it, Sister Liana?” Erinna’s expression was a little stiff.

If she finds out at a time like this, then I’m finished! She will definitely distance herself from me, thinking I’m a pervert!

“Hm? What do you mean, what is it? Weren’t you the one who wanted me to come over?” Liana asked in return.

“But didn’t you refuse me?” If I knew you were coming, I would absolutely not have done this!

“I did refuse, yes. But to satisfy my younger sister’s request as much as possible is also something an older sister should do,” Liana said with a laugh. “And I still have to go back and inform Loraviel, otherwise she’ll think I’ve been kidnapped. It can also be considered a surprise for you, right? How about it? Were you scared?”

Erinna was almost scared to death. She fumbled under the quilt and finally found a piece of underclothing.

“?” Liana saw her body suddenly bend. “Erinna, are you uncomfortable somewhere?”

“No, it’s just that you suddenly came, so I was a little surprised,” Erinna said. In that brief moment, she had put her clothes back on. It was just that there might be some strange things in the bed...

“Let me say first, it’s really just sleeping together for one night. And today is a special exception. Just this once. Don’t think you’ll have another chance. Also, I know your feelings, but you also know very well that I still can’t accept them right now. If you do something that is impolite to me, I will leave at any time, and we will never have that kind of relationship again,” Liana said.

“I certainly won’t do that. Don’t worry, Sister Liana. You’ve already given me a chance. I certainly won’t let it go. If I really wanted to do that, I would have done so long ago, wouldn’t I?” Erinna said.

“I can’t refute that...” During that time, I was in a coma. If she had made a move on me then, I wouldn’t have known at all. But she didn’t.

Because she also knew very well that if she had done that, not only would Liana not have developed a good impression of her, but their relationship would have been completely broken because of it.

“But it wasn’t much better at that time either,” Liana said irritably. Who would use a hemp rope to tie someone up like that? She definitely has some strange fetish.

“I’m sorry...” Erinna also knew that she had gone a bit too far that time, almost crossing the line. It was a good thing she had stopped, otherwise they certainly wouldn’t be in a situation where they could still chat properly now.

The fact that Erinna could bravely express her feelings was something Liana was relatively satisfied with.

“Then how long are you planning to make me stand here? Or should we just forget it?” Liana asked.

“No, no, no.” Erinna was about to move, but she had just done some unspeakable things in this spot. “Come up from the other side, Sister Liana. After all, I’ve been lying here for a long time.”

“Oh, that’s fine.” Liana didn’t think too much about it and climbed up from the other side of the bed.

“Aren’t you going to wear pajamas, Sister Liana?” Erinna asked.

Only now did she slowly stick half her body out from under the quilt. Her light blue pajamas looked a little messy. After all, she was sleeping. It was normal for them to be a little messy.

But even loose pajamas could not hide her proud figure.

“Guess why?”

“That’s true.” Erinna naturally knew why. Although she was a little disappointed, the fact that her sister was willing to come and sleep with her was enough to satisfy her.

When Liana lay down beside her, she could clearly smell Erinna’s scent. This was very normal. But strangely, she seemed to smell a strange scent?

And it was that strange and somewhat familiar scent. It must be my imagination.

“How long has it been since it was like this?” Liana said, looking at the ceiling.

Erinna also lay down beside her, not taking any action. “It’s been a long, long, long time since Lady Ambis and Duke Ryan left.”

“I’ve asked you a similar question before. Why don’t you call them ‘Mother’ and ‘Father’? you always call them by their names,” Liana asked.

“Do you wish for me to call them that?” Erinna asked.

“...You’re digging a pit for me again, aren’t you?” Liana said irritably.

Erinna smiled. “I am very grateful to them. In my heart, I have always seen them as my parents.”

“Then why don’t you just say it?”

“One is that I don’t want to rely too much on their status. The other is that I’m afraid that if I call them that, then one day, those feelings of mine will slowly disappear, and I will really see you as just a sister,” Erinna said.

“...Huh? You’ve been coveting my body since then? We had only just met at that time.”

“Of course not. At that time, I was still very scared, living in a strange environment. And you helped me a lot then, Sister Liana, and helped me slowly adapt to life in the Venus Dukedom. It was also from that time that whenever I called out the name ‘Sister Liana,’ I would feel a little sad. Gradually, I understood why,” Erinna said.

Erinna... she’s a little too precocious, isn’t she!
