Sylvia’s little face was full of exhaustion.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Today was really too tiring … “
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
She mumbled softly.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her blood-red eyes were half-closed.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Clearly showing her sleepiness.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Why is it so troublesome just to go out?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira was peeling an apple beside her.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her movements were gentle and skilled, each slice just right.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Sis, open your mouth.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia obediently opened her little mouth.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
She bit down on the apple slice that Avira handed her.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The sweet juice burst in her mouth.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
It made her mood a little better.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Chased away some of the day’s gloom.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Sis, I want to take a bath.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia said after swallowing the apple.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her little hand rubbed her arm.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“It feels like those people’s eyes are still all over me, sticky and gross.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
She scrunched her little nose, her face full of disgust.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira’s eyes lit up instantly.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“I’ll bathe with my little sister!”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
She put down the knife in her hand and excitedly scooped Sylvia up.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Come on, let’s go to the bathroom.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia didn’t refuse.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her sister’s warmth made her feel at ease.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
And she really did need to wash away today’s fatigue.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The bathroom in the separate courtyard was extremely luxurious.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
A huge bath was carved from a single piece of white jade.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Around it, glowing magic crystals were embedded, emitting a soft light.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Warm steam curled in the air.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Carrying a faint scent of roses.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
A tranquil warmth filled the air.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira set Sylvia down and began adjusting the water temperature.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her slender fingers dipped into the water, feeling the change in temperature.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“What kind of water does my little sister like?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Just warm is fine.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia stood to the side, her little hands starting to undo her sash.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira tried the water temperature, then turned to look at Sylvia.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The little one was struggling with the complicated ties on her dress.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her brows were tightly furrowed, looking especially cute.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Let me help you.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira walked over.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her fingers nimbly untied the decorative silk ribbons.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her movements were gentle and careful, afraid to hurt her beloved sister.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia let her sister help.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
This feeling of being cared for made her very relaxed.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Soon, both of them had changed into thin bathrobes.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira stepped into the water first, then reached out to take Sylvia.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Careful, the water’s a bit deep.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira gently lowered her into the warm water.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia sat in the bath.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The warm water surrounded her, her tense muscles relaxing at once.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“So comfortable … “
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
She let out a satisfied sigh.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her blood-red eyes were half closed, her little face flushed.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira sat behind her and picked up a jar of fragrant cream from the side.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“I’ll wash your hair for you.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia nodded and closed her eyes to enjoy her sister’s service.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira scooped out some cream and rubbed it between her palms.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
She gently worked it into Sylvia’s silver hair.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her movements were extremely gentle, her fingertips gliding through the strands.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Sis, your hands are so gentle.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia said in a small voice, obvious enjoyment in her tone.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Of course.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira replied proudly, a doting smile on her face.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“I’m only this gentle to you.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her fingers danced through the silver hair.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Massaging Sylvia’s scalp tenderly.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Fine bubbles fluttered through her hair, giving off a faint floral scent.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia completely relaxed.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Today’s fatigue gradually melted away in the warm water and her sister’s gentle touch.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Sis, why are those people so weird?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia suddenly asked, her voice soft.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Because there’s something wrong with their brains.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira replied bluntly, her tone full of disdain.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“What normal person would treat a sneeze as a miracle?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia couldn’t help but laugh.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Sis, you really say it straight.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“You have to be direct with idiots.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira started rinsing Sylvia’s hair with clean water.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Warm water ran down her silver hair.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“You’re too kind. If it were me, I’d have killed them all already.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Don’t kill people.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia said softly, her little hand waving gently in the water.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“They have wild imaginations, but no ill intent.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira pursed her lips.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“You’re just too soft-hearted.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
She rinsed Sylvia’s hair clean.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Then picked up some soap and began washing her back.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her movements were gentle and careful.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“That tin can’s expression today was so funny.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira recalled the scene of Bartholomew being sent flying with an elbow and couldn’t help but chuckle.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“He flew so high, and screamed so miserably.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia also remembered that scene, her little face flushing.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Sis, you were too rough.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“I was already being gentle.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira didn’t care, her hands gliding softly over Sylvia’s back.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“If I really used force, he would’ve turned into minced meat.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her touch was gentle and meticulous, washing away the day’s dust.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Your skin is so nice.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira praised, her eyes full of adoration.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“So fair and tender, and so smooth to touch.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia was a bit shy from the praise.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The tips of her ears turned slightly red.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Yours is nice too, Sis.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The two of them sat together in the warm water.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
This quiet moment made Sylvia feel an unprecedented sense of security.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Sis, when do you think we can go home?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia leaned against Avira’s arms and asked.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
There was a hint of longing in her voice.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Soon.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira gently stroked her damp silver hair.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Mother’s plan should be finished soon.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“What plan?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia asked curiously.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her blood-red eyes sparkled with the light of inquiry.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Intimidation.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira said simply.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her tone became serious.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Let these humans know our strength.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Then they won’t dare to act rashly anymore.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia nodded thoughtfully.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Mother always acted with careful consideration.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
There must be a deeper purpose to this visit.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“But I think it’s having the opposite effect.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
She muttered softly, a trace of distress in her eyes.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“They seem even more fanatical.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira was taken aback, then burst into laughter.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“You’re right, little sister!”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Those people really are even crazier!”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
She laughed so hard she bent over, sending water splashing everywhere.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“But that’s fine too.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira wiped the tears from her eyes.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her smile now carried a dangerous edge.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Madmen are easier to deal with than clever people.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia was infected by her sister’s laughter.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
She couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile too.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The two of them played in the bath for a while.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira began washing Sylvia’s feet.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Your feet are so small.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
She cupped Sylvia’s fair, tender little feet.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Reluctant to let go.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The tiny feet felt especially delicate in her palm.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia felt a little ticklish.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
She couldn’t help but curl her toes.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Sis, don’t mess around.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“I’m not, I’m not.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira washed them carefully.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her movements were extremely gentle.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“I’m going to make you smell lovely and fresh.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
After the bath.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira wrapped Sylvia up in a soft towel.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The towel was warm and gentle.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Wrapping up her small body.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
She carefully dried Sylvia’s hair.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“You smell so nice, little sister.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira sniffed at her neck.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her eyes filled with intoxication.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Even better than flowers.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia felt ticklish.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
She couldn’t help but shy away.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Sis, you have to dry your hair too, or you’ll catch a cold.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Vampires don’t catch colds.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira said.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
But she still obediently dried her hair.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The two of them changed into light sleepwear.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Sylvia’s was a light blue Silk Nightdress.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira’s was black.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The silky fabric clung to their skin.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Comfortable and cool.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Little sister, sleep with me tonight.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Avira suggested.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation.
