The Noble Lady of Lust

Chapter 219: Is like a Cockroach

Eira didn’t understand. She was beautiful, and while she might have trouble winning over other women, she understood why she would transform into a man to achieve that, but she didn’t understand why she would degrade her own appearance.

”ah!?....come to think of it, you’re right. Then it would be easier to have more sisters in our harem,”

Alice also hesitated, as she hadn’t thought of that before. Even Selene, who hadn’t said anything until now, nodded as if she agreed, if there was one thing Selene paid attention to it was these meetings.

At first, Selene was not very interested in these meetings, but since she proposed to bring her sister in, and it was a topic to talk about, she started to pay attention to them, and be active since she wanted her sister to come in as well, and now she had gotten used to participating in them.

As it seemed, now that it was mentioned, confusion invaded the minds of all three, but there was someone in the room who knew the answer, though she didn’t know whether to say it or not.

But seeing that her ”lady,” in regard to these matters, never held back, and that it did not seem to be a secret, after a few moments, she decided to say it.

”Well, for Sir Chris’s appearance, my lady said she didn’t like his male version, as he looked like his father the Duke and his older brother. And when she decided on Sir Chris’s, she said it was a combination of his current appearance with that of his former life.”

”Oh! There was something like that,”

Alice was happy, for her to find out new things about Seraphina or Chris, it was the best thing for her, since she really didn’t care what form and appearance or identity Seraphina took since Alice didn’t care, she accepted everything about her. Even if Seraphina was really a monster, she wouldn’t care ....

”...”

As for Eira, it was something that for some reason, she was happy to hear. One thing that bothered her since she heard the truth, was that she had fallen in love with someone fictional.

It bothered him that the image of the one he loved was not as fixed as it should be, and that it had no meaning for the other party.

The word ”false identity” was something that bothered Eira ever since she heard it, but now that she knew it wasn’t just any old appearance, but something more significant, she felt better and the discomfort she felt about it lessened.

Chris’s face was something Eira liked too, and she didn’t want him to one day dismiss her as nothing just because he was tired of her, not everyone was like Alice who didn’t care at all about looks.

..

After that, they started talking about how they met and stuff, though Eira was annoyed to find out that they all already knew how she and Chris had met.

Also that he had been so specific, as to describe, the underwear she was wearing that day.

Which by the way, until he checked the swelling of the spanking, he hadn’t realized, that they were Selene’s and he had put it on by mistake, further fueling the anger and embarrassment of his first encounter, with Chris.

..

.

”Huhhaaa... this thing is truly most effective.”

It was Tuesday afternoon, almost three days since Chris had left. Eira was sitting on the couch practicing the mana breath that was inside the bag Chris had left her called ’Eternal Frost Breathing’.

It was perturbingly perfect for her,very powerful and just by practicing it, Eira understood that no, her sister and the rest of the girls were not only getting stronger because of Chris’s skills but also because of the quality of the arts and breaths that apparently only those who belonged to the harem had.

She wondered if the ”art” that was also in the bag would be as good as this breathing. She, who only had magical talent, had never thought about the possibility of being a warrior , although she had the basics thanks to her ability to resonate with her sister.

It had always been something secondary. Now, with Chris, that possibility had opened up, and she wanted to try, but that would be later, when Chris was not on a dangerous mission.

When Eira asked the girls where Chris got so much stuff from, they explained that half came from William’s legacy and the other half was from him own legacy. Eira was surprised.

As far as she remembered, Chris had only taken an egg, a monocle and a rare stone from the last vault, he didn’t even pick an ’art’ or breath. It was then that they told Eira that Chris had raided the legacy and taken everything for himself.

Remembering the things that happened during William’s legacy she now understood many things, first one thing that had left her with questions, and that was because at that moment when she was about to think about the third test.

Eira swore she saw a beautiful woman instead of Chris, when the rest were reflections of those present, the only exception being him.

She also remembered the strange question that William asked her afterwards, and finally the fact that Chris forbade her to use the resonance from the beginning... only to later, when they had left, and for no apparent reason, ask her and her sister to activate it, when they were not fighting, now she understands why at that moment, even though she was by his side, she did not feel it.

..

These last few days she has learned many things and it certainly has been a roller coaster of thoughts and emotions, but she believed that finally, she was able to clear her mind and have a clear idea of what she wants, it also helped that this breathing calmed and cooled her mind when she practiced it.

She was able to think more clearly and deeply about everything that this situation entailed, and the matter of Chris and Seraphina and finally made a decision.

”There’s...”

Suddenly she heard a small sound of pain, bringing Eira out of her thoughts, she averted her gaze to the kitchen, where Elena was. Although Chris had said that going out was fine no one had left the room in the last few days. They were all worried.

Eira noticed that Elena, despite her calm appearance, radiated intense worry, to the point of being so distracted that she inadvertently cut her finger while cooking, and that wasn’t even the first time today.

Eira was also surprised by the situation, although she had been suspicious of Elena ever since that kiss. When she paid closer attention, she realized that Elena was usually just as indifferent and cold to Chris, no matter how he spoke to her or what he tried during his activities at the club.

Despite this, Eira always had the feeling that something else might be going on, because of the intentions she sensed in Elena. Although there was no clear evidence, she never stopped watching her carefully.

On the other hand, the situation with Seraphina was much the same. She openly flirted with Elena, but the deal was not much better.

Elena, on the other hand, seemed to limit herself to playing her role as a servant, putting up with her ”annoying mistress” no matter what she did.

This perception she had held for some time led Eira to think, now that she knew they had a relationship, that it might have been forced, perhaps using her status as a servant mistress.

However, Elena’s attitude in the last few days had changed that impression completely.

Seeing Elena out of her mind, distracted to the point of cutting her fingers while cooking, evidenced that it was not a one-sided interest of Chris and elena although she did not show it normally reciprocated it, more than Eira originally thought.

Elena, normally calm and professional, now seemed unable to hide her concern, though she tried to maintain a facade of calm as she engaged in activities such as cooking, even though they could order room service, a perk granted by the academy to representative candidates.

Compared to Elena, Alice, although very concerned, did not reach Elena’s level, although outwardly she was the most worried and anxious of the four and occasionally asked how Chris was doing.

On the other hand Selene was quite calm, probably thanks to the resonance, which allowed her to perceive to some extent Chris’ emotions continuously.

Eira shared that calmness. From her resonance with him she perceived nothing that indicated a desperate situation, although the first few days seemed hectic and she went so far as to ask for an active resonance, she always made sure to send them emotions and intentions that everything was under control.

This certainty helped Eira, who would be lying if she said she wasn’t also a little anxious, to concentrate on practicing the new mana breathing technique, also avoiding to increase the worries about Chris, with her own emotions.

”Eira, how is Chris?”

And the probing question from Alice that came every time she didn’t see her practicing came

”Well, there doesn’t seem to be any problems. Everything is quiet, although he seems frustrated, like he can’t find something.”

Eira wanted to reassure them a little, according to Chris it could take a week and even, more, if they kept this up she might lose control.

”As long as it’s okay, everything’s fine, you see, Elena? There’s no need to be so nervous,”

”Haah... You’re right, Miss Alice. After all, my lady is like a cockroach.”

Yes, Eira still doesn’t understand Elena no matter how much she looks at her, outwardly she looks like she hated him, and she doesn’t hesitate to talk bad about him, but she is the most worried one here, but what Elena said was right , he is a tough guy.

”Yes even when they opened a hole in his chest he stood up, if that didn’t kill him, nothing can...”

”Hole?”

”Chest?”

”.....”

At that moment Eira realized she said something she apparently shouldn’t have, she didn’t think it was a secret, with how honest everyone was about everything, pitifully for her, she brought to light one of the few things she had decided not to tell Alice and Elena, when her intention, was to give them peace of mind.

”Shit, don’t tell me he didn’t tell you what happened during the academy invasion? Selene, they don’t know?”

”He said it was a secret...”

”Damn it! So, I screwed up,”

”Miss Eira, could you be more specific?”

”haaah...well the thing happened like this...”

Eira does not remember how many times she has sighed these last days, before so many things, happened, and now she had no choice but to explain what happened during the invasion, she rethought that being nice was definitely not her thing.
