“—”
Silence.
“—”
Silence.
“—”
Silence.
“—”
Still silence.
In the room, the three people sitting opposite each other remained silent, the atmosphere awkward.
Especially their expressions, which added a subtle nuance to the awkwardness.
Lucy’s face was flushed red the entire time, as if she wanted to find a hole to hide in, her expression incredibly embarrassed, almost wanting to turn and run.
Shien, sitting beside Lucy, seemed quite calm, but only he knew if he was actually feeling guilty.
As for Lia, sitting opposite Shien and Lucy, her face was dark as charcoal, her anger at the man and woman before her evident.
Especially when she looked at Shien, Lia’s murderous gaze and expression were undisguised.
Shien, with his [Enemy Detection] skill, knew very well that this princess was definitely thinking about how to stab him.
If it weren’t for Lucy sitting beside him, blushing, with an expression of “we were both willing,” Lia would have already exploded.
Of course, even now, Lia was on the verge of exploding.
“…Don’t you want to explain something to me?”
Lia’s voice was low and laced with gritted teeth, clearly showing how bad her mood was.
“Sister Lia…”
Lucy’s face was filled with embarrassment and shame. She wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say, her usual perfect composure before her sister completely gone.
But Lucy didn’t know that the more she acted like this, the colder Lia’s heart became.
After all, she had never seen her sister with such an expression.
That shy and embarrassed expression, like that of an ordinary woman, made Lia feel very complicated.
Lia had never imagined that her perfect sister would one day show such an expression.
And this undoubtedly told Lia that everything Lucy did was consensual.
Her sister had truly fallen, and had even been completely devoured!
Lia didn’t know whether to be happy or angry.
Happy, naturally, that her sister had found someone she truly loved and entrusted herself to.
Angry, of course, because of her sister’s lack of restraint!
“How… how could you be so impulsive?” Lia could only say in a tone of exasperation, “Even if you really like him, there’s no need to give yourself away so quickly, right?”
Lia truly hadn’t expected that her sister, the Kingdom’s treasure, the modern Hero, the most beautiful woman in the human world, would entrust everything to a man before marriage.
Setting aside whether this would affect the royal family’s reputation or Lucy’s own reputation, Lia just wanted to know, was it necessary?
You’re the goddess in everyone’s hearts!
Such a noble, outstanding, and perfect goddess!
With family background, bloodline, talent, beauty, and powerful backing, there might not even be a man in this world worthy of you.
And you just gave yourself away like that?
Damn it!
Lia wanted to curse.
This was also why Lia was in such a bad mood.
If Shien and Lucy had only confirmed their relationship and planned to date and get married, although Lia would have mixed feelings, those feelings would mostly be relief.
But now, witnessing her sister being taken advantage of, the blow, shock, and stimulation to Lia were simply too great.
As a royal princess, being so unrestrained, not even leaving herself a way out, wasn’t she afraid of encountering a scumbag, or accidentally getting pregnant before marriage?
If that really happened, not only would the royal family lose all face, but countless men across the country would be heartbroken to the point of suicide!
Thinking of such consequences, Lia almost fainted.
Lia, in this state, didn’t notice that Shien, who had been silent, had a contorted expression.
Because a hand was pinching his waist relentlessly, almost leaving a bruise.
“It’s all your fault…!”
Lucy’s angry voice reached Shien’s ears.
Clearly, Lucy was blaming everything on Shien.
