Reborn As Noble

Chapter 1427: The Anchor’s Decision ( 1427 )

Just as Celine was about to say something to Liana, Mimi rushed forward, wrapping her arms around Liana from behind and resting her chin on her shoulder. Her tail swayed slowly, content and playful.

”Big Sis~”

”What now, Mimi?”

”Mimi’s bored, nya! Can I go to Husband?”

Liana let out a soft sigh, reaching up to pat Mimi’s head gently. ”Hush, Mimi. Our husband is busy doing something important. Besides, he’s spending time with his brothers, which doesn’t happen often. And we’re also spending time with all their wives.”

Mimi pursed her lips, nuzzling her cheek against Liana’s in a gentle, affectionate plea. ”But~”

”Where’s Gracelle?”

”Nya? Hmm~” Mimi glanced around before pointing toward a corner of the garden where Delya and Gracelle were standing with Athine. Delya was slowly reaching toward Athine’s belly, her expression dreamy and curious, while Gracelle watched with a soft, shy smile.

”Can you call her here?”

”Nya? For what?”

Liana smiled softly. ”I have something to discuss with her. It’s important.”

”Okay nya~” Mimi gave a cheerful nod before bouncing away, her tail swishing happily as she skipped toward the group.

Mimi arrived where Gracelle was standing with Delya and Athine, wrapping her arms around Gracelle from behind in a warm, playful hug.

”Ne ne, junior~”

Gracelle turned her head slightly, her expression gentle. ”Yes, Mimi?”

”Big Sis is calling for you, nya!”

”Eh? Why?” Gracelle tilted her head, her eyes wide with confusion.

”Nya? Don’t know~” Mimi shrugged, her tail swaying lazily. ”Big Sis just told me to call for you, nya.”

”Umm... is she...” Gracelle hesitated, her voice dropping to a whisper. ”Is she in a bad mood or something?”

”Nya?” Mimi pursed her lips, tapping one finger on her chin thoughtfully, her tail swaying slowly before she shook her head. ”I don’t think so.”

”O... okay...” Gracelle turned and gave a slight bow toward Athine. ”I... if you’ll excuse me.”

Athine watched as Gracelle made her way toward Liana, a soft, knowing smile spreading across her lips.

”Mimi?”

”Nya?”

”How is Gracelle’s progress with my little brother?”

”You mean, Husband? Mm... she still can’t talk to him properly, nya. Don’t know why. Big Sis said it’s just because she’s too nervous around him. She freezes up every time he’s near, like a deer caught in a lantern’s light.” Mimi shrugged, her tail flicking idly.

”I see...” Athine’s smile softened, her gaze thoughtful as she watched Gracelle approach Liana.

Gracelle arrived where Liana was seated, with Celine beside her. She fidgeted slightly, her hands clasped nervously in front of her.

”Big Sis... is there something you needed?”

Liana smiled warmly, gesturing toward the seat next to her. ”Oh, Gracelle. Take a seat.”

Gracelle nodded and walked over, sitting down carefully. Her eyes briefly met Celine’s before she quickly looked away, her cheeks warming.

This is the girl Javier-sama brought home.

And Big Sis said she’s the last girl of Javier-sama.

Gracelle stole another glance at Celine, taking in her features. Her soft, naturally pink lips, her beautiful, expressive eyes, her smooth, flawless skin, her delicate face with long, elegant eyelashes that framed her gaze perfectly. Her hair was silky, her features refined and graceful.

Then her gaze drifted downward, landing on Celine’s chest.

Mou! She even has bigger breasts than me...

Gracelle bit her lower lip, glancing down at her own chest with a quiet, envious sigh.

”Gracelle?”

Gracelle startled at the sound of Liana’s voice, letting out a nervous smile. ”Y... yes, Big Sis?”

”Tomorrow, Young Master is going out on a mission. Father mentioned that he is allowed to bring one of his fiancées to accompany him.” Liana paused, her gaze steady. ”I really want to accompany him myself. It is my duty as the first wife to stand by his side in official matters. But... Celine has just arrived, and I also need to oversee Lyzia’s ’training’ here.”

She smiled softly, her eyes meeting Gracelle’s.

”That is why I believe it is time for you to take on an official role like this.”

”E... eh!?” Gracelle’s eyes widened in surprise. She pointed toward herself, her voice trembling. ”M... me? B... but...”

Before Gracelle could continue, Liana smiled and leaned in, her voice dropping into a gentle whisper.

”This is the perfect time for you to overcome your shyness and be with Young Master. You will have time alone with him, away from the estate, away from everyone else. It is the ideal opportunity for you to grow closer to him.”

She paused, her whisper turning into a low, knowing murmur near Gracelle’s ear.

”And it is also the perfect time for you to be claimed by Young Master. I do not want to hear that you have not been completely claimed by the time this mission is done. No excuses.”

Gracelle’s face turned crimson, her breath catching in her throat.

”If not... then let us just say Celine might be the one who gets claimed first by Young Master before you. And she might steal your sixth wife spot, despite you being the second girl who fell for him.”

Liana leaned back, crossing her arms beneath her breast, causing her full, firm chest to bounce slightly. The movement was subtle but deliberate, drawing the eyes of both Celine and Gracelle.

Celine’s eyes widened slightly, while Gracelle bit her lower lip even harder, her gaze fixed on Liana’s perfect, round, firm shape.

”I’m serious, Gracelle. I can always send Gloria if I want to, and knowing her, she would be more than eager. I’m sure if I sent Felicia, she would gladly accept the opportunity. Not to mention Delya. Despite her love for chocolate, her love for Young Master is even greater, and she would not hesitate if given the chance. And do not even get me started on Mimi. If I did not keep an eye on her, she would sneak out and follow him.”

Liana reached for her drink, gracefully lifting it to her lips, making her breasts bounce again. She then crossed her legs, letting the hem of her dress ride up just enough to reveal a glimpse of her pale, smooth thigh. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her movements elegant and deliberate, showcasing her beauty without saying a word.

”This is an opportunity for you, Gracelle. Do not get me wrong,” Liana continued, her voice calm but firm. ”If you fail, it is your own loss. I will not lose anything. I am already his first wife, and I am secure in my place. But you... you lose the chance to finally be with the man you have loved since childhood.”
