Chapter 34: Gloria’s Affection

“Ah… Sister, you!”

“Roommate, how did you turn into an angel!”

“……”

The moment she saw Vellandelle, Kelosha pounced, tightly hugging Vellandelle’s waist and rubbing against her.

“Don’t mess around.”

Vellandelle patted Kelosha’s head.

Seeing Kelosha’s actions, Rosasys frowned unhappily and slowly approached as well.

“Sister, I want to be patted too.”

“Alright, alright, both of you.”

Vellandelle gently stroked Rosasys’s head as well.

Looking at the two obediently beside her, an inexplicable happiness welled up in her heart.

She raised her head and looked at Gloria, who stood calmly in place.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Helping Miss Vellandelle was just a simple task, nothing hard about it.”

Gloria smiled gracefully.

“Regardless, you helped me. Take this.”

Vellandelle took out a small bottle of her own blood from the bag.

The moment Gloria saw the Blood Bottle, her gaze darkened, and her breathing grew heavy.

“This is?”

“My blood. If I remember correctly, Miss Gloria is the Princess of Crete Kingdom, right? Blood should be quite important to you?”

“Yes… Yes, truly, thank you so much, Miss Vellandelle.”

Gloria took the Blood Bottle with trembling hands, her breathing faint.

She lowered her head silently, so Vellandelle couldn’t see her expression.

“Ah… Miss Vellandelle, I suddenly remembered something important. I’m sorry, but I have to take my leave now.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine, go ahead.”

Vellandelle didn’t think much of it and waved her hand.

She watched as Gloria hurriedly turned and left.

Retracting her gaze from Gloria’s back, Vellandelle turned to look at the two little ones.

“Have you eaten yet?”

It was already late—one in the afternoon—but since Vellandelle had been busy, the others’ mealtime might have been delayed.

“No, we were waiting for our roommate!”

Kelosha’s silver wolf tail wagged desperately.

“I found a job at a bakery, so when I left, I brought some bread for Kelosha to fill her stomach.”

“Sigh, I wanted to save some for Sister, but this dumb wolf ate it all.”

Rosasys glanced at Kelosha with pink eyes.

Kelosha couldn’t help baring her teeth, and spoke guiltily, “I’m not a dumb wolf. And besides, who told you to bring so little bread? I finished it in one bite…”

“Haha, stop it. I brought more food for you, and even steak. Though it might be cold, let’s reheat it back at the Apartment.”

Vellandelle found an empty spot and used the Arcane: Space spell to teleport everyone back.

Rosasys already knew her identity, so there was nothing to worry about.

As for Kelosha, that silly dog wouldn’t notice even if Vellandelle cast the exact same skill as in the Trial right in front of her.

Of course, she couldn’t wear that outfit in front of Kelosha; otherwise, even a fool would realize she was the Banshee Princess.

At the same time, Gloria hurried toward the Apartment, gripping the Blood Bottle tightly, saliva flooding her mouth.

Unable to restrain herself, she even spread her wings and flew back.

Once inside, she locked the door, leaned her back against it, and trembling, pulled out the stopper from the glass bottle.

Gloria pressed her nose to it and inhaled lightly.

A flush spread across her face, lost in intoxication.

“So delicious… My dear little cake, are you a god…”

Breathing heavily, Gloria rushed to the kitchen, grabbed a silver spoon, and scooped out a small taste of the blood.

She stuck out her pink tongue and licked it, her body trembling even more.

Unable to endure, she simply put the spoon in her mouth and licked it clean.

The madness in her eyes threatened to overflow.

The silver spoon fell to the table.

Gloria cradled her face with both hands, obsessed.

“Delicious… Delicious, so delicious… Vellandelle… Vellandelle… Vellandelle, I must eat you, my dear…”

Then her hand reached for the Blood Bottle again.

She slowly slid her tongue inside, savoring it, while her other hand…

Back in 404 Apartment, Vellandelle suddenly sneezed.

“Achoo… Who’s cursing me?”

She scratched her head in confusion.

After returning home, she used the kitchen’s magic tools to reheat the cold dishes.

The rich aroma of meat filled the air, and Kelosha floated over following the smell.

“Meat…”

“Still smells like meat.”

Vellandelle noticed Kelosha drooling beside her and smiled helplessly.

“Hungry?”

“Yeah, roommate, hungry.”

Kelosha tugged at Vellandelle’s clothes.

Vellandelle poked Kelosha’s forehead.

“Go wash your hands with Rosasys first. After that, come help set the table.”

“Okay!”

Kelosha’s eyes sparkled and she ran out excitedly.

“This silly dog…”
