The Noble Lady of Lust

Chapter 83: I’ll kill you and then I’ll kill myself

The day began surprisingly normal despite what had happened yesterday. It seemed that the kingdom did not want to show weakness before the demons, and, in a curious way, everyone, including the high-ranking nobles whose children studied here, agreed.

Well, except for those whose children died, but in the end, from stories we were all considered independent adults, who chose the path of the strong and should be prepared for things like this.

Although I must admit that I didn’t know any of them and I don’t take much notice, which maybe sounds cold, but I have never cared about the death of people who are not related to me.

It’s something that has always been part of my nature, and in this world that hasn’t changed.

Here, indifference to death is commonplace, as this world is extremely dangerous.

If you get careless, you could be the next victim, and no one has time to worry about strangers. I share that mentality completely.

..

.

Nothing unusual happened today. Even the instructors didn’t question us about recent events, unless you wanted to testify about achievements and recognitions, which suited me just fine because I didn’t have to give excuses to anyone.

However, there was one thing that bothered me, and that was the look on Eira’s face. It wasn’t unusual for her to look at me like that, but after yesterday, I’m sure she interrogated Selene.

I wanted to know what she had told her, but I realized I didn’t even know where her rooms were, so I couldn’t sneak in and eavesdrop, not to mention it was a bad time to do suspicious things.

I just had to hope that Selene didn’t reveal any compromising secrets, at this point, and because of her personality q, I usually tell them a lot of things, I mean she’s such a good listener that habeses I say things without meaning to, it’s ok if it’s her but her sister is another matter.

Although one thing I’ve learned about her is that she guards secrets like a tomb, unless she’s being tricked, so I made sure to stress to her that everything about us had to be kept secret.

However, over lunch, I realized I had overlooked something.

”Like I said, break up with my sister and then go die in a corner, like the disgusting pervert you are.”

’Great. I guess I got used to something I should never have gotten used to’

Eira’s insults. They seemed so normal to me now that I just didn’t react anymore, I didn’t feel like giving back.

’hahhh...well anything for Selene’, I thought, while keeping my cool. I had already promised Selene many times that I would try to get along with her sister, so I usually ignore her insults and retreat in case of an impending fight.

Although yesterday, in the battle, I had let hot blood get the better of me a bit, I was calm now.

”I don’t know what you mean,” I replied, trying to maintain a neutral expression. I knew Eira might be using this as a ploy to provoke me.

”Don’t pretend insanity, you bastard. Yesterday she told me you were her boyfriend...ugh...s”

’Did you just spit blood?’ I thought, as I watched a bit of blood come out of his mouth as he tried to say that.

Maybe I was overreacting, though. I’m not that bad, am I? His grudge was just a misunderstanding caused by miscommunication (or maybe it wasn’t).

In any case, I realized that I never explicitly asked Selene to keep our relationship a secret, I just asked her not to say anything about what we were doing or my abilities, since I was helping her get stronger, as well as the rest of my teammates.

Of course, we accidentally exchanged abilities; she got Doppelgänger and I got Resonance, so I had to explain to her a bit how to use them. I had exchanged information on how to use them so I knew how to use it.

now had to figure out how to proceed, and deal with this obnoxious, cliché demon with double pink pigtails and possible tsundere of William’s.

At that moment my ”angel with beautiful pink pigtails”, Selene, appeared, very different from the figure of Eira, who looked like a demon with anger issues and a drunken sailor’s mouth.

”Sister, stop it... I didn’t say you two should get along...”

”Of course. I just want to get to know my brother-in-law better,” Eira replied sarcastically, as she spat more blood in disgust,

’hey that’s not convincing at all, does it really hurt you to say you’re related to me, stop doing that you’re just worrying my little angel.’

I knew I had no choice but to deal with the situation, so I stepped in and went straight to the main point.

”Well, it looks like you already know. Now that you know, it’s time to settle our differences.”

”what do you mean bastard....digo brother-in-law..ugh”

I decided to use this to end the tension. Honestly, I had had enough of Eira. If it wasn’t for Selene, I would have long ago reached the limit of my patience.

I was even thinking of using my spear and getting her abilities, of course with a different appearance, through William, That he is the only one I know who can stand her, so maybe her hatred will transfer to him, and he will stop harassing me.

but now I thought it was a good situation, since it seemed that Eira for some reason is not using force to separate us and even called me brother-in-law, thanks to Selene’s words, although she obviously doesn’t want to, I don’t know what’s going on, but it means that a reconciliation is finally possible.

I couldn’t miss this unique opportunity, I was already tired and afraid of going bald because of her piercing gaze, all day long.

”Haaaa... well, Eira, I’m sorry.” I apologized sincerely, in a way I started this so I had to put an end to it, and if letting myself be defeated wasn’t the solution, this should be the answer. ”What happened in that alley was my fault. I hope you can forgive me.” I held out my hand and already declared my total surrender.

”....”

Eira looked at me silently as Selene watched her with concern, about her sister’s reaction.

”Damn it, do you think I want a fucking apology? Why is this happening... It’s my fault, isn’t it, it’s my fault! That my sister ended up like this, now I have to buaahha, with a fucker like you buaaaaaa...snif”

When he started to speak I thought it hadn’t worked, but little by little his voice started to crack and at the end he started to cry.

I stood frozen, hand outstretched, not knowing what to do as Selene hugged her and comforted her.

..

.

After a while, Eira finally stopped crying and, wiping her tears, looked at me with a mixture of hatred and resignation.

”Haaa... it’s okay. I don’t meddle in your business, it’s time to accept that Selene is a grown woman and she already made her choice, I shouldn’t get between you, I should be a good big sister, urrghh.... you know what! no matter what mama said!!, fuck everything!!!. I don’t accept this shit,!! , you tricked my sister with your trickery, I’ll kill you and then I’ll kill myself, you fucking pervert, Grrrrrr r ”

After that she pounced on me and tried to strangle me, catching me off guard, I thought I had finally come to terms with the situation, but I underestimated this bitch, and now I realize that she has a serious siscon problem, which makes me think that my relationship with Selene will not be so smooth.

..

.

”Well, for now, it’s a probation period. Nothing will happen until I pass it, understood?”.

”Yes, ma’am.”

Finally, after reacting and controlling the situation, I managed to get her off my back easily.

’It wasn’t her best idea to physically attack me without resonating with her sister.’

After some back and forth and a lot of negotiating, she finally calmed down and we came to an agreement: she would allow me to date her sister, under the condition that it would not go beyond our current relationship.

Although I internally disagreed, I realized that Selene would also not allow anything important to happen without her sister’s or her mother’s approval. So, in the end, nothing changed from how we started, which didn’t affect me much.

On the other hand, I briefly explained to her what had happened between Selene and me, so that Eira would understand a little better how we got to this point and stop saying that I cheated on her or something...well yes I did.

But I couldn’t lie to my little angel for long, so I confessed my sins and she accepted me anyway, I even mentioned a little bit about Elena and the rest, to finish my confession, and she still agreed.

Which made my wrinkled family jewels I had out at the time relax when he gave me a positive response.

Back to Eira I mentioned to her that Selene summoned me, we negotiated, and started spending time together, though I left out certain details, of course, this one.

I told her that, in addition to spending time together, I was teaching her runes, as well as my other friends.

To be honest, Selene turned out to be surprisingly good at runes, even better than William and Lys, which surprised me quite a bit. Since she’s usually half asleep or even asleep during my lessons

’Maybe she’s a misunderstood genius, or something like that who knows.’

Eira, however, was still not entirely convinced. Although I knew I couldn’t interfere beyond this point, in the end she insisted that she would also join our rune classes.

I wanted to refuse, but I had no choice. At least the positive point is that I wouldn’t have to deal with her as much anymore.

She accepted my apology for the above events, albeit a bit reluctantly.

Luckily, she was so busy as an assistant that she couldn’t interfere with our sessions, which I obviously skipped when I explained my history with Selene just now. So my time with Selene was still more or less intact.

As for my assistant work, Astrid did most of it. Although I offered to help her, she insisted that it was a way to release energy, which, she said, she seemed to accumulate in our sessions.

I replied that, if she had that much energy, we could do more rounds, but she wittily replied that overtaxing her would only make her pass out. I couldn’t argue with that logic.

In the end, it took some work off my hands and gave me more time with Selene, so I didn’t complain. Although Astrid has gained more stamina lately due to her increased stats, it wasn’t enough to go beyond the third round without fainting...
