At this moment, Lily, sitting on the sofa in the form of Shadow Demon Amontis looking incredibly idle, had unconsciously stopped dangling her high heels from her toes, just as bewildered as her heart.
For her, the current situation was probably even more terrifying and horrifying than simultaneously facing a billion versions of herself that had turned into Azicat!
Originally! Originally she just wanted to tease Shia! How! How did it turn into this!
Admittedly, as Lily who was once a healthy young man in body and mind, the male soul in her heart couldn't possibly not desire the beautiful bodies of young ladies.
But... this kind of scenario was an exception...
"Miss Amontis, you said before that if I satisfy you, you'll help me, right?"
Shia, straddling Lily, actively pressed her face against Lily's. The warm air she exhaled even formed mist on Amontis's glasses.
Faced with such a question, Lily's brain was about to crash. After all, Amontis wasn't like Catania with that cold, aloof temperament. A slight flush had already spread from her neck to her cheeks.
"Do you agree? Lily."
"Huh?!"
Called out by name, Lily took a deep breath. The black-haired girl's previously somewhat rigid expression finally showed a crack—she was starting to panic.
How! How is this possible! Nonsense! I! How could I! How could I, Lily!
Be seen through so easily?! Impossible! I'm the Shadow Demon now! I don't believe this black-haired big sister type girl has any commonalities with me!
Except for the chest tragedy...
But how is it possible! Is Shia a prophet?! I've been exposed?! How exactly did she figure out it was me?!
No! I must hold firm! Isn't this just the temptation of a beautiful girl! I count as one myself now! Why can't I resist!
I'll show you resistance!
"I don't know any Lily. Please stop mentioning her."
Amontis tried hard to make her expression go toward Catania's cold direction, but facts proved that the Dragon King's innate arrogance and disdain embedded in her bones wasn't something she could imitate.
In the end, this instead made that expression somewhat tsundere, appearing to play hard to get. Amontis's face radiated shyness. Although she herself hadn't realized it, her eyes had already started evading, and her neck unconsciously tilted to one side—she was escaping.
"You don't know her? That's really a pity then."
Shia placed her hands on Amontis's shoulders, bringing the distance between them even closer.
"It's a pity. You don't know how indispensable a benefactor that child is to me."
"Benefactor?"
That doesn't make sense. From the very beginning, it was me in Catania form who rescued Shia from the Empire's soldiers. Toward Lily, shouldn't Shia's attitude be toward some random brat who popped out of nowhere?
"You know what? At first, when the Empire had basically conquered the Kingdom, I even thought about dying. I didn't want to be captured and then forced to be given as a plaything to some imperial noble. I encountered truly incredible existences, but it was useless. Even if those ancient, mythical beings cast just a glance at us mortals, it was already my honor.
I didn't dare, and had no way to make her help me more. But fortunately, at that time, that foolish child appeared. Honestly, sometimes she's really quite annoying. She seems to know levitation magic. This kind of magic that can make people fly isn't something ordinary people can learn. At that time, I knew this child wasn't ordinary.
That being said, when she buzzed around me like a fly, I really wanted to swat her."
Swat me? Hey! Wasn't it because you ignored me that I activated fly mode!
"The person you're talking about has nothing... nothing to do with me..."
"Is that so..."
Shia almost pressed her face against Amontis's, as if carefully observing her expression.
"Then I'm very sorry. I must have mistaken you for someone else."
After speaking, Shia hesitated no more. She began unfastening from behind the already very revealing dress.
"Eh?! What are you doing?!"
Shia completely removed the dress. Only then did Amontis see clearly what she wore underneath—it was actually a set of underwear that had absolutely nothing to do with modesty. Through the transparent black gauze, flesh color faintly showed through, and at the center of the flesh color rose pink...
"Don't underestimate my resolve, Miss Amontis. For the Kingdom, for those who sacrificed, I only hope you can truly keep your word, or at least... you must let me leave after it's over, give me a chance to..."
"Huff..."
Finally, Amontis's flushed face spread to her ears as she gasped for breath. In this form, she simply couldn't maintain the composure of Catania or Azicat.
Moreover, she suddenly had second thoughts.
Shia's figure was excellent, even reaching a level that could be called voluptuous without being bloated.
Furthermore, her resolve far exceeded what Lily had originally imagined. Generally speaking, a princess in distress, a princess in distress—what virtue or ability did a small princess have to withstand such great pressure while remaining strong? She was just a young adult child too.
But Shia at this moment, although her face still wore an expression of looking at trash, she was very determined, not planning to turn back at all. For the Kingdom, she was truly prepared to offer everything she could give to herself...
Compared like this... instead it was herself who still held the purpose of playing around, finding Shia in this manner and even making her provide services.
This really was too terrible...
Indeed, even if she'd be scolded, she couldn't continue taking advantage of her like this.
"Shia, it's me."
The jet-black hair faded away. Shia watched wide-eyed as the black-haired girl before her shrank and became that familiar white-haired girl.
"Uh... this... this is actually... an accident, hehe."
Lily's whole person retreated to the back of the sofa. Shia's gaze made her feel like sitting on pins and needles.
"I knew it. You're really surprising, Lily. You've indeed hidden many things from me."
"Uh... everything goes without saying~"
Facing Shia's stare, Lily could only raise her right index finger, deliberately showing a lecturing posture to cover her embarrassment.
"Lily, you like women, don't you?"
"Eh? Why are you suddenly saying this? Ah! Let's quickly leave this place! Then! Watch how I deliver a heavy blow to those Kingdom traitors!"
"I noticed early on that the way you look at me often carries a feeling like a perverted man. That sticky gaze is just too obvious on a little thing like you."
"Ugh! Fine, I admit it! I love looking, so what!"
"Nothing, just... don't stop at just this step."
"Huh?"
Lily's brain completely crashed as a soft pair of lips blocked her mouth that wanted to complain.
