“I… I’m never riding a horse again…”
After dismounting, Eve’s calves trembled uncontrollably. She instinctively recoiled, putting considerable distance between herself and the warhorse that had carried her all this way.
Throughout the journey, for reasons unknown, the horse had accelerated relentlessly. Eve, terrified, clung desperately, pressing herself entirely against Alice and wailing, “Woah, slow down, slow down!”
Recalling it now, a flush of embarrassment rose within her.
‘Though as an undead, I can’t actually blush,’ she mused.
Yet, the shame was undeniably potent! How could she, a formidable ‘tough guy,’ be reduced to such a cowardly state by a mere horse ride?
Just then, a soft, warm hand settled gently on Eve’s head, stroking her hair.
“There, there~ Don’t be scared, Eve-chan. We won’t ride horses back anymore.”
Alice’s tender voice drifted from beside her, her gaze fixed on Eve, a smile playing on her lips.
Normally, that smile would be devastatingly charming to any male, but in Eve’s eyes, it held a hint of mischievous cunning.
“Don’t comfort me like a child!”
“And what’s more, that horse ran so fast because of you, didn’t it? It definitely was you!!”
Eve swatted Alice’s hand away, pointing an indignant finger at her.
Her ‘fierce yet adorable’ demeanor, far from being intimidating, only made Alice find her even more endearing. Unable to resist, Alice reached out again, pressing down on Eve’s head and giving it a thorough ruffle.
“Ah~ So healing~ Thank you for the treat~”
“Listen to me properly, you!”
Eve stamped her foot in exasperation, once more batting away the mischievous hand on her head.
Alice finally snapped back to attention. “My apologies, because Eve-chan is just too cute, I couldn’t help myself…”
“Ehehehe…”
In Eve’s perception, the young Saintess before her had once again devolved into a silly grin. She looked every inch the hopelessly depraved lolicon.
Eve shivered involuntarily.
They weren’t even in the room yet, and Alice was already being so handsy. Soon, Eve would be alone with the Saintess, sharing a single bed. What wouldn’t Alice dare to do then?
Eve truly didn’t dare to imagine what might happen next!
Her future felt increasingly bleak.
****
Just then, a man in a crisp suit abruptly entered the two women’s field of vision.
He made his entrance with an exaggerated sliding kneel, smoothly prostrating himself before Alice, his head bowed deeply to the ground. He then announced loudly, “Your Highness the Saintess, I am truly, deeply sorry! Such an incident occurring within my territory is entirely due to my negligence!”
“From this day forward, I vow to rigorously investigate all suspicious individuals entering and leaving the city!”
Eve blinked, then realized the man must be referring to the events that had transpired at the cemetery.
She turned to look at Alice, and was startled once more.
Without her noticing, Alice had shed her ‘pervert’ persona, transforming back into the cool, pristine Saintess. Every gesture she made exuded grace and dignity.
‘Good heavens, Alice, you’re even smoother than he is! You change personas faster than flipping a book page!’
Gone was the smile Alice had worn while chatting with Eve. Now, she looked down from her elevated position at the man kneeling before her, stating calmly, “Lord Xien, there is no need to report internal matters of your territory to me. I am not the ruler here. You may handle it as you see fit.”
The man quickly replied, “Yes! Yes! Your Highness is right. I will return at once to arrange personnel!”
With that, he rose to his feet, preparing to depart.
However, Alice’s voice resonated from behind him.
“Please wait, Lord Xien.”
“Does Your Highness have any instructions?”
Having just knelt, Xien appeared quite disheveled. His hair was a mess, and his forehead and trouser knees bore telltale smudges of dirt and horse manure. Yet, he still managed to offer Alice a fawning smile.
Alice’s tone softened slightly. “It’s just a small matter, no need to be nervous.”
“I require all information regarding the individuals who constructed that cemetery. Can Lord Xien provide it to me before tomorrow evening?”
Xien nodded instantly. “Of course, Your Highness! I will have it investigated by noon!”
“Very well. I shall now retire to rest. Lord Xien, you may also return to your duties.”
“Your Highness, please rest assured, no one will disturb your repose this time!”
“May you have pleasant dreams!”
After making his solemn promise, Xien swiftly vanished from the two women’s sight.
He departed as quickly as he had arrived.
Eve remained silent throughout, listening quietly to their conversation from behind Alice.
It had to be said, Alice, in her Saintess persona, truly possessed the gravitas and imposing aura of a high-ranking individual.
‘What a pity…’
‘Why did she have to be a lolicon lesbian?’
‘Was this what people online called a ‘contrast’?’
“Haaah…”
At that moment, Alice couldn’t suppress another yawn.
Following this yawn, our Saintess seemed to deflate like a balloon. She turned around and softly collapsed onto Eve, whispering into her ear, “Without Eve-chan’s energy boost, I’m going to die of sleepiness… Eve-chan, let’s go back to the room and sleep~”
Her voice, almost a whimper of playful affection, was so soft and close to Eve’s ear that it made her ears tingle.
‘Who could possibly resist that?’
‘If someone like this pressed down on me, we’d surely both tumble to the ground!’
‘Although Alice doesn’t look tall, she’s certainly well-endowed!’
As these thoughts raced through Eve’s mind, she quickly reached out to press against Alice’s relentlessly approaching face. “Alright, alright, I get it! Where’s the room? Alice, you lead the way, and I’ll see you back to bed! Just don’t lean on me anymore!”
“Hehehe~ I know~”
It seemed Alice still cared about her image on this continent. With people potentially appearing at any moment by the roadside, she quickly reined in her affectionate gestures towards Eve, mindful of her ‘Saintess’ idol burden.
Of course, holding hands was still a necessity.
She linked her arm with Eve’s. Despite the sleepiness that had swept over her pretty face, she now seemed to rally her spirits, speaking with a touch of excitement. “Hmm, but before that, it seems we really need to help Eve-chan take a bath. It wouldn’t be comfortable to sleep without feeling clean.”
“A bath?!”
Eve’s eyes widened, and she stared at Alice with extreme caution.
Truth be told, Eve wasn’t against a refreshing wash. Her dress had been thoroughly soiled at the cemetery, and she was desperate to shed the frilly little gown that so utterly clashed with her ‘tough guy’ demeanor. A bath now would provide the perfect excuse to change.
However, it was Alice’s use of the word “help”…
‘Your intentions are so transparent, your abacus beads are practically flying into my face!’
