As she spoke, Aurora slowly walked up to Lius, her alluring eyes scanning him up and down, a meaningful smile curving her lips.
"So don't try to fool me with the same tricks you use on ordinary ladies, Leus." Before she finished speaking, she immediately made a bold move that surprised even Leus.
Instead of standing in front of him, Aurora turned around like the most nimble cat and circled behind him. Then, she lazily and unreservedly leaned her full and soft body, full of mature charm, against Lius's broad and solid back.
"Oh?"
In that instant, an amazing, warm sensation, a mixture of softness and elasticity, came clearly from Lius's back through two layers of clothing.
Aurora pressed her soft breasts against his back without any hesitation. Her captivating figure was completely pressed against Lius's body by her weight, with an undeniable presence, clinging to his spine as if to envelop and devour him entirely. A rich, intoxicating scent, a blend of high-end perfume, roses, and the unique fragrance of a mature woman, wafted towards Lius's nose as she drew closer.
"Hey, Ms. Aurora, what's going on?" Lius felt his breath catch slightly because of the startling touch on his back. "Hehe, don't be nervous."
Aurora's soft laughter, like the finest wine, rang in his ears. She seemed quite pleased with Lius's momentary stiffness. Instead of pulling away, she pressed her body even closer and playfully swayed her body slightly, letting the captivating touch on her back rub against his back in a clearer and more tantalizing way.
"I just... wanted to find a more comfortable position to have a good chat with my future son-in-law, how about it? Young Master Lius, you're comfortable doing this, aren't you?"
As she said this, Aurora gently raised her head, rested her chin on Lius's shoulder, and gazed at his profile with a questioning smile in her charming eyes.
"What do you think of my daughter, Sophia?" Feeling the distractingly soft touch on his back and the tingling sensation from the warm breath on his ear, Leus couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This Ms. Aurora is indeed an unconventional, enchanting woman.
He composed himself, pondered for a moment, and finally gave a fair and thought-provoking answer: "She's very interesting."
"Oh? Just for fun?"
Aurora didn't seem entirely satisfied with this somewhat perfunctory answer, but she didn't press further; instead, the smile on her lips deepened.
“Okay,” “Interesting” is already a pretty good start.
She chuckled contentedly, as if she had already heard the answer she was looking for in those two words. Then, her entire aura underwent a subtle change.
That businessman's shrewdness and noblewoman's poise quietly faded away at this moment, replaced by an unprecedented tenderness and charm that belonged only to women.
With a charming smile, Aurora's cheeks flushed, and her eyes, which always gleamed with calculation, were now watery and filled with undisguised affection.
With that smile, she leaned against Lius's back, as if using her beautiful and alluring body to engage in the most primal and direct provocation.
"Lius's breathing gradually quickened, and Aurora's lips slowly approached the blond boy's ear, so close that Lius could even feel her soft, full lips lightly touching his earlobe."
Then, in a soft, seductive, whispering voice that seemed to melt into the air, she said, "It seems that the matter with Sofia has been resolved satisfactorily..."
Aurora's breath was warm and moist, carrying a hint of intoxicating sweetness, as it brushed against Lius's ear.
"So now... her voice became increasingly hoarse and suggestive," shouldn't she fall in love with me too?
Chapter 429: The Scene of "Catching Adultery" (Part 1)
Meanwhile, at the other end of the backyard of the Floren mansion.
A figure slowly emerged from a quiet forest path. "Hmm~"
It was a quiet forest far away from the hustle and bustle of the main house. The afternoon sun shone through the lush canopy, casting dappled, fragmented light and shadow on the ground covered with pine needles and fallen leaves.
The air was filled with the fragrance of summer soil, the scent of pine, and the faint sweetness of unknown wildflowers. Everything seemed so peaceful and serene, like a secluded paradise.
Emerging from this tranquil scene was a red-haired girl dressed in church attire.
Today, she wore a modified, easy-to-move pure white church robe. The edges of the robe were embroidered with intricate and sacred runes in gold thread, making her look exquisite and pure. A matching belt was tied around her waist, perfectly outlining her slender figure, which was beginning to take shape and still retained a touch of girlish innocence.
Atop her head, a cascade of smooth, fiery red hair reaching her waist was tied back with a simple black ribbon, a few unruly strands falling across her smooth forehead and swaying slightly with her light steps.
"Ha... It's finally here. The church has taken care of things, and we've finally received the official document from Her Majesty the Pope. We can go to Prince Lius's residence and live with him."
With these words, Helen's smile grew even wider.
At this moment, her delicate and dignified face was filled with a solemnity and holiness beyond her years, as if she were about to perform an important sacred ceremony. In particular, her eyes, as clear as the blue sky, reflected the piety and anticipation in her heart.
As Ha thought about meeting Lius later, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, forming a smile that was a mix of anticipation, longing, and a little shyness.
"Hoo... I feel so nervous. Even though I've had so much contact with Prince Lius before, I already miss him after just a few days apart. It's such a strange feeling."
In the days leading up to this, Helen silently recalled the figure that made her heart race countless times in her mind. Each time she recalled it, the blush on her face deepened and the smile on her lips widened.
The thought of living, training, and growing stronger together with Prince Lius still excites Helen.
"I just don't know if with my current strength, I can really satisfy Young Master Lius. He is clearly much stronger than me, but he always takes such good care of me, which prevents him from fully displaying his own strength. I feel a little sorry for him."
Thinking of this, Helen unconsciously clenched her fists, and a sense of strength welled up within her once again.
"In that case, I need to increase the intensity of my training. I absolutely cannot hold Prince Lius back. I must at least improve my strength to a level where I can assist him. Otherwise, I will not be qualified to continue to accompany him in the future."
The first thought that crossed Helen's mind when she and Lius had become intimate was to stay by his side. Leaning against Lius at that moment, this thought almost instinctively came to her, and her heart pounded uncontrollably at the thought.
At the time, she couldn't understand why she had such a strong feeling, as if her heart was being tightly gripped by a hand, making it hard for Helen to breathe. The intense feeling of suffocation was even more intense than when she first faced those twisted and despicable cultists.
Having gone through these trials, Helen now has her own answer in her heart.
"This is probably...love. Just as Prince Leus said, it is because of this feeling that one wants to support others, to fight alongside them, and to share each other's burdens...to focus all one's heart on the other person. This is love. Previously, Helen thought that the name Leus=Fren simply represented a strong, reliable, and trustworthy comrade-in-arms, a companion who could stand with her on the long road of fighting against evil, nothing more."
However... after her previous intimate encounter with him, Helen's feelings were completely awakened in this interaction with a man.
For Leus, every contact and every exchange between them deepened and solidified their friendship.
In Helen's heart, she admired Lius's strength and reliability, trusted his calm mind in any desperate situation, and admired the mature and steady temperament of the young man that made people want to rely on him.
This fatherly feeling was deeply imprinted in the girl's heart, filling the gaps in her growth and giving Helen time to relax from her tense and serious bishop life. Her heart was also deeply affected by this emotional fluctuation, and in their subsequent interactions, this feeling continued to transform, eventually turning into an attachment and dependence on Lius.
If it were the Helen of the past, she probably wouldn't know how to face this feeling, nor how to respond to it. She could only bury it deep and carefully in her heart, which had become somewhat cold due to years of maintaining a solemn demeanor, and guard this secret with utmost care.
However, after spending many close moments with Leus and receiving guidance from Nottica, Rosalind, and others, Helen developed a new idea.
"If... this is my true feeling, then I must fully reveal this emotion to Prince Lius later, even if it might be a bit embarrassing. But... Prince Lius also told me before that I should fully express my inner emotions. If I always keep them inside, it might cause a lot of hidden dangers. So what I'm doing is in line with Prince Lius's reasoning. Yes... that's it. This is Helen's thought at this moment, and it's the true feeling she has come to believe in after thinking about it for the past few days." With the fluctuations in her heart, the girl took a deep breath, encouraged herself, and then clenched her fists again, a blush of shyness and anticipation appearing on her face.
Chapter 430: The Scene of "Catching Adultery" (Part Two)
Helen placed her hand on her chest and slowly exhaled.
"For now... let's keep going. We'll be there soon, and then we'll meet with Prince Lius. I need to be in top condition."
And so, amidst a complex mix of tension, anticipation, excitement, and self-persuasion, Helen continued her journey through the tranquil forest. Finally, a spacious, meticulously maintained, and beautifully landscaped backyard came into view. She saw it at a glance.
Beside the stream in the backyard, on a wooden chair, sat the familiar figure that haunted her dreams. The bright sunlight shone down on the blond boy, elongating his shadow. His golden hair swayed gently in the breeze, shimmering softly in the sunlight, making him look handsome and captivating.
He sat casually in the backyard, exuding a reassuring calmness, as if the world was peaceful and secure with him around. Helen's gaze was drawn to him, and her heart pounded faster under his watchful eyes. "Young Master Lius!"
In that instant, accompanied by an excited and cheerful shout, all of Helen's tension and anxiety were replaced by an irrepressible joy.
Waving her little hands, Helen greeted everyone with a smile, her eyes bright and lively, like sunshine falling from the sky, shining brightly, expressing the excitement and anticipation from the bottom of her heart. Combined with the smile on her face, Helen was like a blooming rose, exquisite, beautiful, and breathtaking.
"Young Master Lius, I have arrived. Her Holiness the Pope has issued her instructions, and the documents are here. Once you sign them, I can immediately be by your side."
As she spoke, Helen maintained her excited demeanor, quickening her pace and skipping towards the retreating figure, completely disregarding her bishop status, simply conveying her inner excitement to Lius's ears.
"Ok?"
Upon hearing Helen's call, Lius paused slightly, seemingly startled, and immediately turned around to look in Helen's direction.
"Helen, you're here? When did you arrive?"
"Ha, because the documents were just delivered this morning, I wanted to let you know as soon as possible, so I rushed over without notifying you in advance. I'm sorry."
Looking at Leus, Helen smiled and explained, quickening her pace as she prepared to press herself against Leus and tell the blond boy everything she had missed over the past few days.
However, just as Helen was about to approach, she glanced at herself and saw a figure pressed against Lius. "A mistake?"
At that moment, accompanied by a dazed sound that uttered instinctively, Helen's eyes, which had been gleaming with joy, froze. She saw it: hanging in front of Leus was a figure, or more precisely, a woman clinging to him intimately and possessively like a vine. A dark-haired woman.
She was a mature and stunningly beautiful woman with dark hair, dressed in a luxurious and sexy dress that perfectly accentuated her voluptuous figure, creating a stark contrast with the petite Helen.
Most importantly, at this very moment, this beautiful woman was pressing her chest tightly against Lius's body without any hesitation, her arms wrapped around Lius's neck like those of a most intimate lover, and a warm, slightly blushing smile on her charming face.
"Ah, in an instant, Helen felt as if her brain had been struck hard by a bolt of lightning from the sky, filled with divine purifying power."
Upon closer inspection, Helen's shock deepened. "You are...Ms. Aurora? It's Ms. Aurora!"
Recognizing that the black-haired young woman in front of Lius was the leader of the kingdom's first caravan, Helen glanced at him and felt a "buzz" as if the whole world had lost its sound and become blank. "Ah ah" accompanied by a few involuntary sounds, she looked into her godlike eyes, as if trying to confirm through this simple action whether what she was seeing was reality or an absurd hallucination caused by excessive tension.
After confirming that the scene unfolding before her was not a hoax, an indescribable, intense heat, like a volcanic eruption, instantly surged from the depths of her body, rushing straight to the top of her head!
Helen's pretty face, which had only had a faint blush, turned bright red in an instant, spreading from her cheeks all the way to her delicate earlobes, then to her slender, fair neck, and finally even her collarbone, which was usually covered by her holy robes, was tinged with a captivating pink. Her mind was completely stunned.
After enduring a petrified state that felt like an eternity for several seconds, Helen's body, driven by the instinct for survival, finally made its most intense and instinctive reaction.
"ah!!!"
With a scream, she turned around with all her might, her back facing the "crime scene" that she wished she could evaporate on the spot. Then she stretched out her hands and waved them wildly and haphazardly in front of her eyes, as if trying to scrape the overly shocking image off her retina.
"I'm so sorry!!!" Helen's voice was high-pitched and thin from extreme panic, with a hint of sobs. "I...I didn't see anything! Really! I don't know anything! You...you please continue! Just pretend I was never here."
"Helen, you."
"I know nothing! I...I was just passing by! Yes! I was just passing by! You...you can continue, please continue! I'm so sorry to have bothered you! I'm truly sorry!!!"
After uttering this string of incoherent and rambling words, Helen didn't dare linger for even a second longer. She quickly grabbed her solemn bishop's robes, turned around, and ran at top speed towards the mansion, fleeing this awkward and ambiguous place she wanted to disappear into. Meanwhile, Leus and Aurora, watching the girl's fleeing figure, tilted their heads slightly, a thoughtful, dazed look appearing in their eyes.
Chapter 431: The Scene of "Catching Adultery" (Part 3)
Looking at Helen's retreating figure, which could almost be described as a hasty and battered retreat, both Lius and Aurora were stunned and stood there, their expressions showing a sense of unexpected surprise.
The ambiguous atmosphere in the courtyard, which had been created by Aurora's bold provocation, was completely and decisively washed away by the girl's panicked scream, and even the air seemed to freeze in that instant.
After a long silence, it was Aurora who broke the eerie silence first. She slowly straightened up from behind Lius, and a rare look of amusement and exasperation appeared on her charming face.
"Oh dear. It seems something unexpected has happened."
"It seems... our behavior just now was a bit too much of a shock for Helen?"
You could say that... I wonder when Bishop Helen got close. Could it be that you were so engrossed in your lovemaking with Lius that you didn't even notice your surroundings? That's really dangerous, haha... With a helpless smile, Aurora gently covered her slightly parted red lips with her delicate hand clad in a chisel-like glove, her charming eyes sparkling with a complex light that was both amused and somewhat tender.
Meanwhile, Leus, facing this situation, turned around helplessly, looking in the direction Helen had disappeared. He couldn't help but rub his forehead and sigh softly. "Given Helen's solemn and serious nature, suddenly witnessing that scene must have turned her mind into mush." Yes, looking at her, she seemed like a pure and helpless little girl who had accidentally stumbled upon her beloved being intimate with another woman—both endearing and pitiful. But thinking about it carefully… it seems that's indeed the case."
As she spoke, Aurora's tone carried a hint of playful teasing, characteristic of an adult woman towards a naive young girl, but there was no malice in her eyes. She looked at Lius with a playful smile and continued to ask him:
"So what should we do now? Should I go and explain to her?" "What do you think, Ms. Aurora?" Lius countered. "In my opinion... there's no need for explanations. Bishop Helen isn't such a fragile person. Even if she's a little flustered for a moment, she'll calm down quickly afterward."
Aurora said this, then looked at Lius with a knowing smile and added, "Besides, Lius, aren't you planning to keep all the girls you cherish by your side and build a unique family?" Since that's the case, she'll have to get used to this kind of scene sooner or later. Isn't it good to see it sooner and get used to it sooner?
"That... makes some sense."
Faced with Aurora's theory, which sounded completely wrong, Lius pondered for a moment, then accepted the idea and nodded slightly.
"That's fine. Anyway, with Leah and the others at the mansion, we should run into her. With Leah's help, Helen shouldn't be hiding in a corner overthinking things, and nothing serious will happen."
"That's more like it." Aurora nuzzled contentedly against his chest, like a lazy, satisfied cat. "Let the little girls sort out their own business. Let's not bother them and continue what we were doing... just now."
Her voice became hoarse and alluring once again, and the ambiguous flame that had never been extinguished rekindled in her eyes.
Afterwards, spring returned to the backyard, seemingly unaffected by the previous minor incident. Instead, after a brief pause, it produced an even richer and more intoxicating fragrance. Meanwhile, on the other side...
As the absolute protagonist of this "accident," Helen's current state was completely opposite to the undulating atmosphere in the backyard. "Huff, huff, huff," accompanied by a series of rapid breaths, the girl's originally dignified and holy face was now covered with a panicked blush. She clenched her small fists and ran like a wolf through the wide, maze-like corridors of the Floren mansion at almost the fastest speed she had ever used.
With each leap, her heart pounded wildly in her chest, the sound so intense that she even wondered if her ribs would break from the frenzied rhythm. Her mind was like a calm lake tossed into a red-hot iron, now boiling and in complete chaos.
The scene she had just witnessed in the backyard was like a vivid imprint, playing uncontrollably in her mind again and again.
Prince Leus's profile, tinged with a mixture of helplessness and doting. Lady Aurora's mature and alluring smile, adorned with a warm blush. The intimate, almost zero-distance, posture between them.
And… Lady Aurora whispered something in Prince Leus's ear—though the exact words weren't clear, the lip movements and atmosphere alone told it was definitely not something serious… “Ahhhhhh—” Just thinking about it made Helen feel like her brain was about to explode. An indescribable burning sensation shot from her feet to the top of her head, making her so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it, never to be seen again!
How could I possibly see something like that?
How could Prince Leus... how could he and Lady Aurora... do such... such shameless things in the backyard?!
A chaotic mix of thoughts, filled with moral condemnation and alarm, raged wildly in Helen's pure mind, which had been filled with traditional doctrines. She felt that her worldview and moral values, which she had built up in the past, had been dealt an unprecedented and devastating blow at this moment.
In her extreme panic and shame, she didn't care about finding her way. She just kept her head down and rushed forward until the view suddenly opened up and a noisy crowd came. Only then did she suddenly stop as if she had just woken up from a dream.
Helen looked up and realized that she had unknowingly rushed into the magnificent central hall of the Floren mansion, which was large enough to host a small ball.
At that moment, standing in the very center of the hall were two unexpected figures: Leah and Sophia.
