“However, I have one condition.”
“A — a condition?”
“Miss Vivian, you must also promise me that everything that happened here today will remain a secret, including everything you saw and our conversation.”
“Whoa!”
At that moment, Vivian Draco finally seemed to realize what had happened today. Her small face instantly flushed red, likely remembering how she had been bullied by Emil.
“The thing you want me to keep a secret… does it refer to you kissing Miss Lioness?”
“As I thought, you saw everything?”
“I didn’t see everything! When I noticed, you were already kissing. I was so shocked that I closed my eyes after only a moment…!”
It was a stroke of luck within misfortune that she had not seen the even more excessive behavior of the big guy afterward. However, just the fact that she had been caught kissing Emil raised the danger level to the point where it felt as if the Louis Happy Table was looming before her.
Miona asked in a low voice, “Um, are you two in a relationship? Oh! Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s quite normal. I’ve heard there are many cases of same-sex marriage among the nobility…”
‘I want to deny it, but what if she imagines something even worse?’
“You may think of it that way…”
“Love that transcends status… It’s just like Cinderella and the princess. Although I often see it in books, this is the first time I’ve seen it in reality. I’ll support you…!”
“You’re saying… you’ll support us?”
“Mhm!”
If it were Miona, that wicked girl might have seized this leverage to threaten and torture her. Yet Vivian was not only willing to keep the secret but even wanted to support their love? Despite being sisters who shared the same body, their personalities were polar opposites.
Erika decided to respond vaguely. “I’m incredibly grateful you would say that. In truth, meetings that transcend status aren’t easy. Miss Lioness is the daughter of a prestigious family, while I am but a commoner born a slave…”
These words were half acting and half sincere, a golden ratio of performance—half air and half voice. At this moment, Erika had transformed into a devoted little maid pursuing a difficult love. Her path to reaching her beloved sister was filled with numerous obstacles—that was the girl’s setting!
“A prestigious family… I am also a daughter of the Dracos. Perhaps I can be of some help!”
“Help?”
“Exactly! I can tell you how the daughters of great nobles date, what they like, and what kind of gifts they hope to receive from their lovers!”
“Oh, Miss Vivian, you truly are experienced in love, aren’t you? Since you are so beautiful and cute, I should have known…”
Hearing Erika’s question, Vivian Draco flinched like a cat startled by a cucumber. “…O — of course! My romantic experience… spans over ten times! I’ve even set up quite a few couples!”
That was a lie!
Vivian was clearly bad at lying. She was someone who trembled with fear just from sneaking out for a midnight walk; how could she have ever been in a relationship? Moreover, if she wanted to date, she would have to use her sister’s body.
‘Wait, is she talking about her sister?’
‘Is her sister’s romantic experience rich? No, that’s impossible. Lady Miona Draco is a devout member of the Flame Cult and very conservative in emotional matters. In that regard, she is a model of an elegant young lady.’
‘No, no, why does this matter to me? I’m here to tame them, not date them!’
Erika gently stroked the hair on her chest, her long eyelashes casting shadows beneath her eyes. The pitiful enchantress put on a hesitant, longing expression. “Then, could you help me? I’d like to ask for advice from the romantically experienced Vivian. It would be wonderful if I could have your assistance.”
“Of course! Yes! I’ll help you! Uh… how should I help…? Even though I am a Love Expert…” Although she stood with her hands on her hips full of confidence, Vivian clearly looked a bit restless.
Was she worried that her words might expose the fact that she actually lacked romantic experience?
**[Calmly judge the situation! Logic +5]**
She was so easy to read; at this point, it was almost a cute trait.
The girl suppressed the urge to laugh and said with a mock-serious tone, “Could you come to see me every Wednesday night? I have some questions about love I’d like to ask, and I’d also like to report my progress to Miss Vivian every week to hear an expert’s guidance and suggestions on what I should do.”
Specifically, Erika’s plan was to find a way to establish a friendly and continuous connection with the Draco family. She believed the best way to control, conquer, and tame them was to let them get close first.
However, Vivian Draco hummed in thought, rubbing the ground with the sole of her shoe. Her small face showed a look of unease.
“Every week… every day might be difficult, but if it’s once a week, maybe I can sneak out to meet… but if Sister finds out…”
“How would she find out? If I can also be of help to you, Miss Vivian, I will certainly do my best.”
“Mhm… okay, let’s do that!” After hesitating for a moment, little Vivian finally agreed. As expected, helping each other was the best way forward.
“So…”
“Is there something you’d like to say, Miss Vivian?”
“No, it’s nothing big. It’s just that if I’m going to help you with your love life, I need to know the specific situation first. So…”
Erika waited patiently for Vivian to finish. During that time, even though the girl fidgeted with her hands and stammered for quite a while, Erika kept a smile on her face and waited quietly like an older sister.
“So, how far have you two progressed…? I mean, with that Miss Lioness.”
Was she asking about her intimacy with Emil?
‘Should I say, “We had a serious fight where someone bled and sustained irreversible injuries”?’
Erika hesitated between telling the truth or lying. Vivian, sensing her silence and hesitation, quickly waved her hands. “Of course, I’m not asking out of curiosity or selfishness! This is purely to help your romance succeed. I just need to understand the situation…!”
It seemed this little girl was very excited. After all, listening to other people’s love stories was inherently interesting. Perhaps she should try a lie?
“Actually, today was my first kiss.”
“Really!? The first time was today? Wow, then I am the witness to your first kiss.”
“Yes, but… I was so clumsy. Miss Lioness got angry and stormed off just now…”
“You mean your kissing technique was poor? No wonder she got angry. I see… so that’s why Miss Lioness ran off in a hurry just now.”
“Is having poor kissing skills that bad? Actually, I wanted to leave the initiative to Master Emil, but what do the noble young ladies of prestigious families think about that?”
“Well… since it’s the first time, whether one is the dominant or submissive party, they are both girls after all. Regardless, wouldn’t they want a romantic and perfect kiss? Although there is a certain charm to being inexperienced… if it were me, I would do it among the flowers under the moonlight…”
The tail radar reacted. Heat from the base of her spine traveled to her brain once again.
The tail took over for the brain, realizing a crucial point.
‘Erika, this situation can be exploited! Don’t mention it!’
As a result, a sentence slipped out of her mouth.
“Lady Vivian, then could you teach me the correct way to kiss?”
