Under the sliver of sunlight shining through the window, Aya groggily opened her eyes and stared straight at the ceiling. Her brain was still in the state of just waking up from a dream.

Ah... This is not the familiar ceiling. Come to think of it, she didn't sleep in Tiran's bedroom last night, which was quite rare.

From this perspective, Aya was truly shameful as a Dragon. Despite being quite old, she was still afraid of the dark... Of course, this judgment was based on the scale of human age. In fact, even Aya herself didn't understand why. She knew very well that darkness couldn't harm her in any way, and even with her Dragon's night vision ability, there wasn't much difference between nighttime and daytime vision.

But as long as she was in darkness, she would be afraid. However, as long as there were others around, she would feel better. That was one of the reasons why Aya always insisted on sleeping in Tiran's room and refused to sleep alone.

She had originally planned to give the room to Angel last night and go to Tiran's room herself, but little Fiona clung to her clothes pitifully and wouldn't let her go, which was quite annoying...

—"Big sister used to put me to sleep... I can't sleep alone..."

That's what Fiona said, making Aya feel that her fear of the dark was not a big deal. Hahaha, you need someone to coax you to sleep, are you a child?

Stirred by the protective instinct as a senior, Aya didn't go to Tiran's bedroom but stayed in the room to accompany Fiona.

Unexpectedly, she fell asleep inexplicably as well.

Recalling the situation last night, Aya felt a bit puzzled. It seemed that she slept quite well, even more peacefully than usual—could it be the sacred constitution of Angel that also had a calming and sleep-aiding effect?

Hmm, if that's the case, it's quite nice. This child... Maybe she can be used as a pillow in the future?

No no no, Aya, what are you thinking? That's too naughty! How could a senior think like that? Aya slapped her own cheek hard and woke up completely.

"*sigh* Alright, I'm in good spirits. Hey, Fiona, it's time to get up." Aya nodded in satisfaction, lifted a corner of the blanket with her toe to find her slippers at the side of the bed, and reached out to pull Angel, who was sleeping next to her.

"Mmm... Big sister... please be gentle..."

What kind of dream is this kid having? When Aya's fingertips touched Angel, they trembled. Partly because of the terrible dream, and partly because of the unusual touch.

Huh, this smooth and tender feeling doesn't feel like clothes at all. And when I poke it, it feels... very soft?

Cold sweat started to form on Aya's forehead. She stiffly turned her head, and her neck made a rusty creaking sound like a mechanical movement.

The sleeping posture of the blonde girl was quite indecent. She had taken up most of the originally spacious bed, and one of her long legs restlessly extended out of the blanket, pressing down on Aya's body. Aya had only thrown on a robe and slept all night, and it had almost unraveled. Her flat abdomen and absolute the Realm were exposed under the morning sunlight, covered in a radiant shimmer...

And her own hand happened to insert itself into the opening of her top and poke twice.

"..." Silently retracting her hand, Aya stared at the naughty hand that had just reached out for a moment.

It's fine, nothing happened, only I and the heavens know, as long as I don't say anything, no one will know about this.

"Stare—"

Oh no! Aya suddenly sensed a dangerous aura, turned her head, and saw the room's door slightly ajar. The princess was staring at her with a twisted gaze.

"Aya, Aya, I never expected you to be this kind of dragon. It seems like Elf was right, you go into heat whenever you see a beautiful female... "

Tiran's voice filled with resentment echoed in Aya's mind.

"It's a misunderstanding! I didn't mean to! Who would have thought she wasn't wearing her pajamas?!"

"What? Then how do you explain sleeping in the same bed? And it's spring... It's definitely the mating season, right?"

"Damn it! I told you it's not... Wait, why did you come here so early in the morning?"

Wait a minute, the Princess never wakes up this early unless there's a reason. There must be a reason.

"Um!" Tiran suddenly stuttered, trying to change the subject. "Anyway, call that Angel girl and wake her up. This can't go on like this! It's too decadent!"

He waited for Aya to run over last night but she never came. He thought something had happened to her, so he sat on the bed staring blankly, unable to sleep all night... How could he tell her about that kind of thing!

"What the hell! I told you we didn't do anything! And give me a straight answer!" Aya retaliated.

But Tiran didn't pay any attention to her, he pinched the contract and forcefully closed the door behind him and left.

The heavy sound of the door finally woke up Fiona who was sound asleep. Angel girl supported her upper body with her delicate arms and sat up. Her head swayed back and forth, still not fully awake. Her loose bathrobe revealed her snow-white legs, with more to be exposed if it rose a little higher.

"Aya... Senpai? Good morning..."

"Good morning... Wait, that's not the point! Although I'm thankful for your morning 'service' in a certain way, please change your clothes quickly, at least wear some underwear!"

"Underwear? What's that?"

Angel girl looked cute and confused.

Angel, not wearing underwear. Ah, maybe even the goddess herself wouldn't wear it. Aya wrote down this information in her notebook, realizing it could possibly bring the Church's pursuit.

Going back to the topic, it's because they're from different worlds, right? How ignorant she is.

"Never mind, let's make do for now. I remember there are clothes in the wardrobe that Tiran prepared. Look for a set to wear for now..."

Aya tried hard not to stare at Fiona's body, she pretended to be calm and walked to the wardrobe, scanning through sets of brand new clothes.

Wait a minute, it seems like... there's no underwear here.

Right, even though professional female dressers would prepare underwear, she's not a professional, and Tiran was just messing with her, so he didn't prepare any underwear...

...

"So you plan to take her out shopping? On a date? Aya, you really are shameless, even daring to make a move on an Angel. Aren't you afraid of the Church's religious tribunals hunting you down?"

When Tiran found out about today's plans, the Princess immediately gave her a look of disdain.

"What? I have no other choice! This damn castle is in the middle of nowhere, I have to go to town for shopping! I can't let little Fiona run around naked, can I?"

"Hmm, I think you can. After all, she doesn't have that kind of common sense. As long as you don't mention it, she won't realize there is a problem. By the way, I'll get Mimi to make two short skirts..." Tiran gave a thumbs up.

"You can go to hell! You're the real pervert!"

"Oh come on, just kidding. Speaking of which, don't we have a dedicated seamstress in our castle for this kind of thing?"

"We do have one, but perhaps you've forgotten about what happened with Mimi yesterday? Do you think our dear Princess Mimi would agree to let the seamstress help? Or maybe you can just order her to lend a hand? That way, I wouldn't have to make this trip." Aya spread her hands.

"...Fine, go ahead. I don't think I can convince her." Tiran dejectedly hung his head.

"You're such a failure as a princess... By the way, why don't you take this opportunity to relax as well? It's rare to have some leisure time." Aya asked. These past two months have been incredibly tense, with the coup, the pursuit, and the long journey to rescue their daughter. Aya, who was used to being lazy, felt like she was on the verge of a breakdown.

"No, my father said I should avoid going out until I've fully recovered my strength. Beacon City is the largest port in the country, crowded with people. It would be troublesome if spies from other countries discovered us." Tiran lazily replied from the bed.

"Do you really care about all that?" Aya glanced at her, clearly not believing her. "Tell me the truth."

"I've been away from my treasures for two months. I'll go crazy if I don't finish going through the loot we collected last time. I won't take a step out of this castle until then."

So that's the truth, you bastard!
