Chapter 13 Part 1: Unveiled Desires
The next day.
The fox-eared girl Liliyana slowly awoke.
When she saw her elder sister Sena sleeping soundly, nestled in a man's arms, she instinctively covered her small mouth.
Memories of yesterday resurfaced, bit by bit.
It seemed she had fallen ill, and Sister Sena, in order to save her, brought this human man.
Sister Sena must have paid a heavy price.
At the thought, Liliyana's eyes grew wet; her big blinking eyes looked on the verge of tears.
But she forced herself to endure.
She couldn't trouble Sister Sena.
If that human got angry, he'd surely bully Sister Sena.
Liliyana felt
Sister Sena must have already sold herself to that human.
"Mmm… Liliyana?"
"You're all right? Thank goodness!"
Sena woke and, seeing Liliyana sitting dazed at the bed's edge, forgot all about someone else she pushed him away and threw her arms around Liliyana, crying with joy.
Roused, Lu Fei was a bit speechless.
"Hey, hey, Sena that's cold. Start it and then ditch me?"
Seeing his face, Sena's cheeks went crimson.
"Wh what? It was just a transaction. Thank you for saving Liliyana, but I already paid your price so you can leave now!"
"…"
Sena clutched Liliyana tight, afraid the man staring at her wouldn't let her go.
Humans were so greedy.
That kind of thing… once would surely lead to a second time.
And perhaps countless times after.
He'd even said he was a man with a strong possessive streak.
Though he had feigned tenderness yesterday, didn't continue, and only held her to sleep, Sena would never trust a human!
"Sister Sena…"
Seeing Lu Fei stay silent, Liliyana tugged her hand and shook her head.
She meant don't talk like that.
They'd get hit.
Sena just bit her lip, said nothing, and deliberately refused to look his way.
Even if he really was a good man
She wouldn't follow him.
Having taken the initiative to offer herself yesterday was shame enough.
If she went with him, her last bit of stubbornness would vanish.
She would forever be his property.
Sena did not want that.
Lu Fei's silence made Sena's body tremble slightly.
She squeezed her eyes shut.
She'd already prepared to be taught a lesson like yesterday.
Even if he hit her, she wouldn't bend.
Humans were so greedy if he had her and still wasn't satisfied, might he reach for Liliyana too?
Perhaps she had known too much cruelty.
Sena's instincts cast humans in the worst light.
Lu Fei looked at her quietly for a moment, then slowly raised his hand.
Thinking he was going to strike, Sena reflexively hugged Liliyana tighter and clenched her eyes shut.
Liliyana covered her small mouth, staring at him pitifully.
But
Lu Fei only rubbed her little head gently, then let his hand fall.
"All right if you insist that was just a transaction, then a transaction it is."
"I'm leaving."
With that, he left the room without a glance back.
Sena stared.
He… really left?
A nameless sense of loss bloomed in her chest.
She bit her lip and couldn't help but mutter a complaint.
Liar!
Big liar!
Humans were such bastards after all.
Didn't he say he was very possessive?
Why not be more forceful?
At last, tears fell unchecked this time in real sorrow.
But nothing to be done.
She had done this herself.
"Sister Sena don't cry."
Liliyana lifted a soft hand and gently wiped away her tears.
"Uwaaahhhhh!"
"Liliyana now it's just the two of us again. But it's fine Sister will take care of you and keep you safe."
"I believe you, Sister Sena."
Liliyana smiled softly and patted her head in comfort.
After crying in her sister's arms a while, Sena's gaze hardened.
Hmph this lady doesn't need that stinking man.
"Sister Sena, look… that big brother seems to have left something."
Liliyana pointed at a small pouch beside her.
Sena blinked.
She opened it
Inside were heavy silver coins and one gold coin.
Likely added just now.
Sena bit her lip, fighting to hold back tears.
My chastity so little value…
And she had been the one to offer it.
But
He still had a conscience.
Still that was why she didn't dare approach a noble
Afraid of being used for free.
She had chosen Lu Fei because he was handsome, seemed easy on the eyes not like a bad man.
"What do we do now, Sister Sena? Where should we go? If those people catch us…"
Liliyana tugged at her clothes, looking scared.
"It's fine. Sister will get us out of here. With money, things are easier."
…
With the money Lu Fei left, Sena first bought outfits for herself and Liliyana.
Gray hooded cloaks
To hide their looks.
After all, she had elven ears and Liliyana was a fox-eared girl.
Greedy humans who saw them would definitely try to snatch them up as slaves.
She bought two sharp daggers for self-defense and felt a little more at ease.
But leaving the city wouldn't be easy.
They weren't adventurers and had no identification; show their faces at a gate and the guards would surely seize them for questioning.
And city guards were nobles' lapdogs.
They had only just escaped a noble's estate Sena had no desire to go back.
When she recalled the fat, naked noble with a leering grin lumbering toward her, Sena's face went white as paper.
Though in panic she'd kicked and injured that disgusting thing, the experience had still left a psychological scar leaving her with no fondness for humans.
While she pondered, Lu Fei's face rose in her mind again Sena's cheeks flushed.
Maybe there were good humans.
But
Hmph this lady doesn't need your charity.
Don't think that just because you helped me, I'll bring Liliyana along to be your woman not a chance!
Hidden in a corner, watching the constant traffic at the gate and the dutiful guards Liliyana tugged Sena's little hand.
"Sister what do we do? We can't get out like this."
"You hurt that naked noble master he'll definitely be itching to catch us and torture us."
Sena sighed.
"Keep watching. There will be a chance."
Just then, a commotion broke out at the gate.
"It's you you shameless little thief!"
A brown-haired girl in a blue frock pointed angrily at Lu Fei and shouted.
Lu Fei was speechless.
What were the odds it was the same Lady Maria as before.
"You've mistaken me for someone else, miss."
Lu Fei glanced her over coolly, looking puzzled.
"Mistaken you? Unlikely."
Maria stroked her chin and looked him over carefully then smiled coldly.
"Guards! Arrest this thief!"
"Yes, milady!"
The gate guards surged forward and pinned Lu Fei at once.
"Uh Lady Maria what is it you want?"
Lu Fei looked at her helplessly.
If he could help it, he didn't want a fuss.
"Hmph teach you a lesson!"
With a flick of her hand, Maria said, "Carry him back to the manor."
Lu Fei didn't struggle.
He wanted to see what this young lady was up to.
In the corner, Liliyana shook Sena's arm.
"Sister Sena what do we do? The big brother who helped us he's been caught by a noble!"
"Wh who cares? It's not us being caught."
"But repaying kindness that's what Sena always taught me. If we know our benefactor is in trouble and don't help what kind of people are we?"
"Mmm…"
Sena's expression grew conflicted.
She bit her lip and sighed.
"Liliyana stay here. I'll think of something. If I don't return in three days, follow the plan I gave you post a commission at the adventurers' guild, disguise yourself as cargo, and have adventurers escort you out of the city."
"Take this money don't lose it."
Then she turned to go.
But Liliyana clung to her arm. "Let's go together. I don't want you to take risks alone. Even if there's danger, I want to face it with you."
"You… silly girl."
"All right we'll go together. We'll pull that stinker out just to repay what we owe."
