Ariel leered at her fiancee, however, she was only greeted by his peaceful sleeping countenance, still mad, she couldn't bring herself to get angry with him. It was true that his sleeping face was so cute that Ariel wished to eat him whole again.
She's embarrassed by what they did last night but the villain continued sleeping like nobody's business, she was at a loss for words.
''Sister-in-law! Big brother! Good morning!"
Leon's little sister's cheerful voice came from beyond the door. The troublemaker has arrived.
"It's time to go to school, Big brother you sleepy head!"
Immediately, Ariel was in full-on panic mode now. She picked up her clothes at record speed and zoomed off to her room, another voice came much to her distraught.
Why so early in the morning, they should still sleeping the poor fiancee thought with a reddened face, her dignity would vanish if they were to see her current state.
Judging from their presence, Ariel could detect 3 people, her sister-in-law with her playmate Tyrion, the son of the prime minister, and Pandora.
While Ariel was panicking, a voice was heard, it was Tyrion's voice.
''The door isn't locked..."
Kachak
The door slowly opened as Ariel froze up.
"Huh, you're right..."
Leon's sister chimed in.
"Why didn't they lock the door?"
"Who knows?..."
Tyrion nonchalantly replied.
The main door slowly opened as he stepped inside the house.
"I am coming in..."
"Wait..."
"You idiot, don't just barge into people's houses like that..."
''She is right, little boy.''
Leon's sister and Pandora tried to stop Tyrion but it was too late, he was already fast approaching the living room, and if he turned slightly, he would be able to see the two lovers who had a wild night last night.
He would also be able to see Ariel and her exposed shoulder.
In the spur of the moment, Ariel's eyesight sharpened as she quickly grabbed two small pieces of cotton wool lying around and strengthened them with mana but didn't make them too hard. She threw those two cotton balls of wool out with deadly accuracy, aimed at Tyrion's eyes.
"Argh!!!"
The poor young man started yelling in pain. The last thing he saw were two hard yet soft objects coming for the windows of his soul, his vision immediately darkened as he struggled with his injuries. He rolled around on the floor.
"What happ-happened?! Tyrion!"
''!"
Leon's sister and Pandora ran into the living room in a series of hurried steps. Ariel couldn't yell for them to stop before they arrived in the living room. She stood there red as an apple.
"Tyrion!"
Leon's sister and Pandora were shocked to see Tyrion rolling around in pain, they were even more surprised to see the clothes were strewn all over the ground and the scene near the sofa. Their jaws dropped.
"..."
Ariel...
"..."
The three girls stared at each other in deathly silence.
"I say you girls..."
Ariel felt her throat drying up. She managed to force out a smile, she drew the blanket closer to her body while she tried to explain in a hoarse voice.
"This... this isn't what you think it is... there are many reasons for this..."
"..."
Leon's sister and Pandora were stunned, they looked at a stuttering Ariel who was barely clothed and they saw the lewd beast known as Leon sleeping soundly next to her. Then, they looked at the clothes littered around the room, it only took them one second to take all of this in. Leon's sister might still be young but she is still royalty that received a lot of training since young and matter like this she has heard of it meanwhile Pandora lived than them and naturally understood what happened.
Suddenly, the youngest lady as to say Leon's sister's cute face immediately went red in bashfulness as her expression shifted from embarrassment, more embarrassment, and finally...
"Kyaaaa!!!"
She dashed for the door.
"Er-erm..."
Pandora was also embarrassed out of her wits. She fidgeted before bowing apologetically. She was almost blank when it comes to matters related to sex and relationship
"Sorry for the intrusion!"
Then, she grabbed Tyrion by his foot and made her escape too, the guy was still writhing in pain when they exited the place. Due to Pandora's hasty escape, Tyrion's head got hit near the corner of the walls and the door.
Soon, a certain individual's tragic shout could be heard echoing for miles...
"Please wait let me explain, it's not like that!!!"
Unfortunately, none of the girls stopped for Ariel to explain herself, she felt like dying, her dignified image and cold interior just vanished just because of one mistake, she wished to find a hole and jump in, becoming a mole.
The culprit of the current situation was still sleeping without a care in the world, snorting as he pleased, he was even rubbing his stomach in satisfaction. For a moment Ariel wanted to bash his head onto the floor but managed to control this impulse.
''Fuck!'' She swore, something she rarely does. She headed to the bathroom to freshen up, leaving Leon still sleeping.
°°°
A few hours later.
Yawn~
Leon yawned in the main hall, it sounded like he didn't get enough sleep last night. As he looked at the sky which is still a bit too dim, he sighed.
"This city is a bit odd, the daytime here is different from the one I am used to, I reckon we are only going to feel the heat and sunlight around noon, right?"
He nonchalantly said that but his conversation partner didn't reply.
He knitted his brows and shifted his gaze over to Pandora and his sister who was blushing for some reason, their heads were lowered as they awkwardly avoided conversation.
Upon seeing this Leon felt puzzled. Pandora can be put aside for now, she's not the type to strike up a conversation anyway unless there's Alex or the other girls around. He just didn't think his little one would behave like this too, she's a chatterbox after all. She like to pester him all day not giving him enough time, especially now that he was about to leave, she should have been more clingy yet here she was blushing for whatever reason which left Leon puzzled, wondering what the hell happened.
''What's the matter with you two? You girls are acting weird."
Their bodies tensed up when they heard Leon's words. They also blushed in a deeper shade of red. The Lionheart Crown prince felt even more confused.
"Are you two not feeling well? Did you two catch a cold? Fever, maybe?"
Leon drew his head closer to the girls when they immediately scuttled away.
They distanced themselves from him as if he had some kind of contagious disease they were afraid of.
"..."
Upon seeing their reactions, Leon's lips started twitching. He tried to remain calm.
"Okay, what's wrong? Did I do something wrong?"
Leon was 100% sure something happened to him and Pandora. No, they must have seen something for them to behave like this.
Otherwise, excluding Pandora, his sister wouldn't have reacted so intensely to him. He's pretty sure he watched his antics around her to prevent scaring her off by doing something unnecessary. That distance should have been within her tolerable range.
"Seriously, what's the matter with you two?"
Upon hearing Leon's voice unknowingly increased, the girls lowered their heads again, however, it didn't look like they are going to return to his side any time soon. Then, they said something Leon couldn't accept.
"You are also a beast.''
"Pervert, Big brother is a big pervert.''
"Huh?..."
Leon gasped and he couldn't believe his ears.
"What?..."
"Hmph..."
He snorted, she didn't explain herself. Instead, she found another seat and she went there with Pandora in tow.
Leon felt like someone had just penetrated his chest with a knife and violently yanked it, after seeing his sister's reaction, he was deeply hurt by her behavior as he deeply loved her troublesome little sister, she's his diamond he will always cherish no matter what.
However, after some deliberation, his little who had previously decided to stay silent and not talk to her brother after what happened decided not to and asked him.
''Big brother, I am going to ask you one question and you better answer it honestly!"
He said with a stern face, she still looked cute because she was still blushing a bit.
Leon felt odd nevertheless he nodded anyway.
"Alright, go ahead, if I know the answer I will answer it."
"Nn..."
His sister nodded vigorously like she was afraid her Big brother might go back on his words.
''I thought y-you promised you'll wait before marriage before doing that, I -I mean touching your fiancee, so why didn't you respect your promise?'' His sister asked with a furious blush on her face.
It was then finally Leon who understand why they were behaving this way and couldn't help but curse his carelessness, he made a blunder and it was now the time to clean up his mess. He better finds the right word and uses his eloquence.
And after a short moment of silence, Leon opened his mouth and said.
''You see it is because of love.''
''...I beg your pardon?''
