Join the Server“Hehehe…” Lucia’s laughter was enigmatic, and the flush on her face deepened, a clear sign of the alcohol taking its toll.
“Your Eminence, are you alright?” Betty Lane asked, concern lacing her voice. Her gaze drifted slightly downwards, falling upon Lucia’s neckline, which was now far too revealing.
The fabric of her collar was stretched to its limit, almost tearing. Lucia’s ample bosom, barely contained, seemed ready to burst forth at any moment.
Unexpectedly, Lucia, whose loli-like figure was once almost regrettable, had developed a physique that made Betty Lane feel utterly inferior.
She truly was an angel!
Betty Lane sighed inwardly, marveling at Lucia’s generous proportions, and her gaze dropped further. She noticed that the long skirt, which once covered Lucia’s calves, was now scandalously short.
After a fleeting moment of inappropriate thought, Betty Lane forcefully composed herself.
“Your Eminence, you’re drunk. Please, get up; I’ll help you to rest.”
Lucia seemed not to hear Betty Lane’s words, continuing to chuckle to herself. Amidst her melodious, charming laughter, Betty Lane attempted to rise.
Lucia cast a sidelong glance at Betty Lane. Suddenly, she moved, her hands seizing Betty Lane’s wrists, pressing her back down onto the floor. Lucia leaned over her, pinning her beneath, and uttered a triumphant yet heart-fluttering laugh.
“I’ve caught you, my knight, heheheheh…”
In that moment, their faces were inches apart, their noses nearly touching.
Betty Lane could distinctly feel Lucia’s feverish body heat and clearly saw the hazy, intoxicated look in her eyes.
“Your Eminence, wake up!” Betty Lane gritted out, her own face flushed and ears burning. She was on the verge of losing control, almost wanting to reciprocate Lucia’s forwardness.
She had never imagined that the soft, adorable little angel would have such a fierce side.
Surprisingly, she wasn’t repulsed; in fact, she felt a strange inclination to simply yield.
‘No, I am Your Eminence’s knight.’
‘When Your Eminence is about to do something she might regret, it is my duty as a knight to stop her.’
Betty Lane suddenly exerted her strength and sat up from the floor. She was a battle-hardened knight; even with Lucia’s newfound maturity, she was no match for her.
She lifted Lucia into her arms and glanced around. The surrounding tables, chairs, and floor were littered with bottles, jars of equipment, and various materials. Only the large bed was empty.
She had no choice but to carry Lucia to the bed and gently lay her down.
“Your Eminence, you need to rest.” Betty Lane suppressed her own impulses, daring not to look at Lucia again. Instead, she turned her gaze to the rat cage beside them.
Inside the cage, the large rat that Lucia had administered the medicine to earlier had, after emitting a puff of smoke, transformed back into a young mouse. It shook its head and wagged its tail in the cage, showing no ill effects.
This brought a sigh of relief to Betty Lane. She surmised that once the effects of the medicine wore off, Lucia would also return to normal, with no threat to her life.
As she was distracted, Lucia, like an octopus, climbed up Betty Lane’s arms and clung tightly to her. Her mouth emitted a somewhat slurred, drunken laugh.
“Heheheheh, I’m strong now! You can’t catch me, heheheh. I caught you. Heheheh…”
Betty Lane’s face was crimson. She didn’t dislike Lucia’s affectionate closeness; she even felt a desire to follow her lead. Yet, her knightly code urged her not to commit such a despicable act of taking advantage of someone.
Especially not Lucia. She absolutely could not do anything so sordid.
Betty Lane painstakingly tried to pry Lucia’s hands from her, moving slowly and gently, unwilling to harm her.
This resulted in Betty Lane struggling for a long time, unable to keep up with Lucia’s clinging efficiency. There was simply no way to remove Lucia from her.
‘Then, just for a little while, we can lie together…’
A simple wish blossomed in Betty Lane’s heart.
‘If it’s just sleeping in the same bed, without anything else, it doesn’t violate a knight’s code, does it?’
Betty Lane looked at Lucia’s slightly unfamiliar yet still beautiful grown-up face, and, following her heart’s desire, she lay down beside Lucia on the bed.
They slept together in the same bed. Enveloped by intoxication, Lucia fell into a deep slumber at some point.
Betty Lane could have left, but…
‘What if I disturb Lucia when I leave?’
‘I cannot leave, no, I must not. Lucia’s peaceful sleep must be my priority. Protecting my mistress Lucia’s sweet dreams is, naturally, a knight’s proper duty.’
Betty Lane convinced herself once more. A faint smile gracing her lips, she continued to lie beside Lucia.
She gently brushed Lucia’s messy bangs aside with her fingers, carefully studying her face.
She had once imagined what Lucia would look like when she grew up. At the time, despite her best efforts to envision it, it still fell short of the reality she now witnessed with her own eyes.
‘Indeed, Your Eminence is adorable no matter what, isn’t she?’
A soft smile played on Betty Lane’s lips, and she, too, gradually drifted into slumber.
Physically, Betty Lane slept very uncomfortably that night, but mentally, she felt a satisfaction she had never known. Even her dreams seemed to turn blissful, tinged with the scent of candy.
