"Those kids...!" Emilia clenched her small fist, anger flashing in her eyes. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Closing her eyes for a few seconds, she tried to calm herself. After taking a deep breath, she turned to her niece. "Just to be sure, are you serious...?" she asked, hoping it was all just a joke from her beloved niece.
Elizabeth's eyes widened, and she placed one of her pale hands over her chest, looking hurt. With tearful eyes, she looked at her aunt. "I can't believe my aunt doesn't trust my words!" She lifted her head in deep disappointment, shook it slightly, then gracefully took her teacup. "Yes, Aunt, it's very real. The students...
or rather, your students under your guidance actually had the audacity to sleep all together in one room!" Elizabeth smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling mysteriously. "Three beautiful young ladies! Three great nobles of our empire! Each of them burdened with great responsibility, yet they all share the bed of one man...
Tell me, Aunt, tell me if I'm crazy, or if they are the insane ones?" Elizabeth set her teacup back on the table. "I'm no expert in these matters, but... I doubt you are, either, Aunt..."
Emilia's eyes widened in shock as she looked sternly at her niece. "No disrespect!" she said, pressing her lips together. She sighed. "Although I have to admit..." she murmured. Nearing thirty, she was still as innocent as her niece. She shook her head again; she had never met a man who caught her interest.
Thinking for a moment, she added, "I don't think they'd go that far! Besides, as you mentioned, Leslie and Evelyn are supposed to have arranged marriages, like yours..." She looked sadly at her niece.
"Oh nooo!" Elizabeth whined, pouting as her sweet thoughts were completely dampened by the reminder of her own grim future. Putting those thoughts aside, she said, "You know, Aunt, I envy you in this. You were able to choose your own path! But..." She drifted into thought. "You should know that Leslie and Evelyn's family relationships are anything but pleasant."
"Well, you're right, but even so... you could use them to gain more political power, although..." Her eyes glinted a little, as did Elizabeth's. "Everything changes if it's known that their purity has been taken! Hehe... but... Tsk!
So many complications."
"I don't think the one responsible would come out alive..." Emilia completed her niece's thought, and as she spoke, an image of a young man with black hair and blue eyes appeared in her mind. "It's all very complicated. All the students, especially the first-years, are already aware of the peculiar relationship that the two of them have with... Arthur."
"Add to that Daniela, the saint's daughter, has joined them! But... she's a different case," Elizabeth said with a strange expression, recalling the saint's behavior. "I don't think she'd object... I don't think she'd even care. Very curious cases, I suppose," she shrugged, looking absentmindedly out the window.
The moon was perfectly radiant, shining in solitude in the darkness of the night.
Emilia also fell silent, hesitating for a few moments. She already knew what kind of personalities Leslie and Evelyn had. "What do we do with the four of them?" she asked her niece. Even though she was the guardian in charge, the final decision rested with the academy's president.
Elizabeth tilted her head slightly. "Just let them be," she finally said. "I'm tired." As she finished her words, her body shone faintly with a peculiar light. She closed her eyes. "I'm going to sleep."
Emilia silently watched her niece resting in her chair, trying to breathe calmly. She lingered a bit longer, and after confirming that Elizabeth was indeed deeply asleep, she let out another sigh and quietly left the room.
"Why can't I breathe...?" I spoke in my mind, while keeping my eyes closed. In that strange state of half-sleep, where you're asleep but your mind is awake, you'd think that as long as you keep your eyes closed, you're still asleep. Yet, I could hardly get any air, and I felt a strange pressure on my chest—not only that, but also on my legs, making it nearly impossible to move.
I was completely rigid, unable to move any part of my body. Frustrated, I opened my eyes.
A beautiful face, smiling sweetly with eyes closed, breathing peacefully. Her long, black hair shone under the first rays of dawn... it was Leslie. She was lying on top of me! I tried to move my arms but... my right arm was totally pinned...
Daniela was sleeping there as well, deeply asleep, while Evelyn lay on my left arm, her soft, curvy figure pressed close to me!
Completely dumbfounded, I clearly recalled that the night before, I had fallen asleep on the couch while deeply pondering the death rune after a wonderful meal made by Daniela. I was also sure that the three of them had taken over my bed... and now, *"Suspiciously"* I found myself here, surrounded by all three of them... Trying to calm my mind. "The stimuli are too much!
And I'm in the body of a young man full of vigor." No matter how much mental effort I put into my thoughts, it did absolutely nothing!
It was an instinct beyond control, and I was no exception. Unable to do anything, I could feel my *little brother* starting to wake up... Honestly, this is the worst situation for me, as I mentally struggle to stay composed, feeling the pressure of six great peaks... When I opened my eyes again, two beautiful amethyst-colored pearls stared back at me.
There was still a trace of sleep in them, but they sparkled like two bright suns. Leslie was already awake! She continued to stare silently for a few moments. "Good morning..." she said with a smile. But her gaze turned a little fierce as she looked at Daniela and Evelyn.
She frowned and looked back at me, her eyes widening. "What is this bump I feel between my legs...? Right now?" she asked innocently.
