Chapter 260 Good sisters?!

?◇?◇?◇?◇?

—Alfred—

At night, Alfred lay on his back in bed and stared at the ceiling.

Why do you want to do this?

It was simply because the girls he lived with strongly requested him to lie in bed and rest until he fully recovered.

In the battle with the followers of the Annu Cult and in the battle with his grandfather Tongsi in this life, Alfred suffered serious physical damage due to excessive use of the power of the goddess.

When they came back from the night streets, they were almost always carried back by the principal, Alberta.

Because of this incident, Alfred was ridiculed and teased by Alberta, although she herself was also beaten up by Tong Si.

Gazing at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, Alfred pondered what to do next.

The girls from [Netherworld] were already investigating the base of the Annu Cult. All they had to do next was to clear out the Annu Cult members near the imperial capital, which would buy them some time to investigate Antonio's true identity.

And...why did Tongs assist Antonio and the Cult of Annu?

(Ah... Grandma Selina and the others have passed away...)

Thinking of this, Alfred felt a little sad.

Although they didn't spend much time together, Selina and the others took great care of and loved Alfred.

Alfred thought that Tongsi's assistance to the Annu Cult was probably related to the deaths of Selena and others.

Boom, boom, boom,

"Al? You're still awake?"

Along with the knock on the door, Rose's sweet, somewhat nervous voice came into the room.

"Sister Rose, what's the matter?"

Alfred was very confused and didn't understand why Rose came to him at this time.

The academy had temporarily suspended classes in the past few days due to the attack by the Annu Cult. However, Rose and other members of the student union still had to assist the academy in various follow-up work, which was quite tiring.

Alfred didn't want Rose to not get enough rest because she was too worried about him.

"Well, a little bit. Is it convenient for me to go in now?"

"no problem."

After getting Alfred's permission, Rose, wearing a thin silk pajamas, walked into the room holding her pillow.

For some reason, her cheeks were a little red, giving her a nervous feeling.

"Sister Rose, what's the matter with you coming to see me so late?"

Rose didn't answer directly, but tiptoed onto Alfred's bed.

"Hey... Al, those people who attacked the academy this time were actually targeting me, right?"

She stared into Alfred's eyes with her deep blue eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's souls and asked.

Even Rose had already realized from the fact that Gina and Marco, followers of the Annu Cult, were lurking among the students and trying to assassinate her that the target of the entire attack was most likely her.

"This... Sister Rose."

"Hmm~Hmm, if you don't feel comfortable answering it, you don't have to tell me."

Rose gave a somewhat lonely smile and just lay down beside Alfred, hugging the pillow.

"Hey... Al, actually I've always liked you. It's not the kind of love that I feel for you as a younger brother or a family member, but..."

Rose shyly grabbed Alfred's sleeve and asked with a trembling voice.

"Al, what do you think of me?"

The marriage between Alfred and Rose was not decided jointly by Alfred's father Ron and Rose's father Count Lindbergh.

When the two were engaged, Count Lindbergh and his eldest son had already died on the battlefield. The leaderless Count Lindbergh family was on the verge of collapse due to the attacks from the Duke of Opold's family.

This marriage was completely decided unilaterally by Ron.

The reason why Ron initially arranged for Alfred to get engaged to Rose was because he wanted to protect Rose, who stayed behind as a friend.

Unlike the Duke of Elect, whose heads had no talent for puppetry, the Lindberg family was a prominent family of puppeteers. In every generation, there would be a genius who could summon an S+ ancient puppet from the Pseudo-Life Gate.

Even if it is not an ancient kind of puppet, it is easy for people with Lindberg family blood to obtain S-level puppets.

At that time, many nobles in the empire had their eyes on the bloodline of the Lindbergh family.

They wanted to take advantage of the situation to obtain Count Lindbergh's youngest daughter, Rose, and integrate the Lindbergh bloodline into their own family.

Ron used the method of making an engagement between Rose and his eldest son Alfred to declare his "ownership" of Rose to the nobles of the empire, to prevent Rose from falling into the hands of other families and becoming a political tool.

Ron also told Alfred about this when they were seven and Rose were ten.

But this did not change the relationship between Alfred and Rose, either in a negative sense or in a positive sense.

Rose is still the adopted daughter of the Duke of Elect and also Alfred's fiancée. Alfred also treats Rose as a sister as much as possible in an attitude that suits his age.

If you ask whether Alfred likes Rose, the answer is of course yes.

But although they were engaged and had a very close relationship, they had never done anything like a couple. Well... Alfred had never even kissed Rose...

"I, I like Rose-san too... No, it's you, Rose."

Alfred said a little embarrassedly.

"Is that so... That's great. Al, I was really uneasy this time. When I saw Miss Alberta carrying you on the campus, I was really scared."

Rose snuggled up to Alfred and gently pressed her face against his chest.

"You've done so much for me, I'm really happy. But don't force yourself next time, okay?"

"I know... woo?!"

Alfred lowered his head and looked into Rose's face as he apologized.

While Alfred was not paying attention, Rose wrapped her slender arms around Alfred's neck and kissed him forcefully.

"Hehe~ Really, you really did that, huh?"

Rose blushed and looked away shyly at Alfred.

"That Rose..."

"It's not because of the engagement Uncle Ron arranged for us. I also like Al very much and want to be with you forever. But Al, there are more and more cute girls around you recently, which makes me jealous!

But Al, you have always been easy to be liked by girls, and I am your first fiancée, or, you can say, your wife, right? So instead of being jealous, I think I should consider you more.

Although it is a bit sad, I also hope that you can get along well with everyone, Al. Because whether it is Lily or others, everyone is very good and will definitely help you in the future."

Rose pressed her body against Alfred and hugged him, confessing to him what was in her heart.

"But this time... this time Al, you really scared me. When I saw Miss Wendy treating you while you were unconscious, I was really afraid that you would never wake up... Even now, I am still very scared..."

Rose's body trembled slightly.

"So tonight, Al, can you accompany me? Just, just let me be willful for a while, sister."

"I see."

Alfred smiled tenderly at Rose and held her tightly in his arms.

"Well, even if we continue doing this, it's ok."

Rose said shyly.

"Eh? To continue doing this means..."

"That's it. We're going to get married in the future, so it's normal to do that. I wouldn't mind if it were you, Al. So..."

"So, Rose, what exactly are you talking about?"

Rose was completely different from the usual Rose who always acted like a sister and took care of him. Today, Rose was very cute. Seeing her blushing and shy, Alfred couldn't help but want to tease her.

"That's it... Al, you idiot, don't let me just say it!"

Rose angrily hit Alfred's shoulder with her fist.

"Pfft, Rose, you are really cute today."

"Cute... oooh!"

A faint white mist appeared above Rose's head.

"But is there really no problem?"

"Yes, no problem."

After confirming with Rose again, Alfred put one hand around Rose's slender waist. He stretched out his other hand to the shoulder strap of Rose's pajamas, intending to take off Rose's pajamas.

And Rose put her face close to Alfred again, intending to kiss him again.

Just when the passion between the two was about to burn, there was a knock on the door.

Boom, boom, boom,

"Al are you still awake?"

Liliana found that the door of the room was not closed, so she pushed it open and walked in without waiting for Alfred to respond.

She was also wearing a cute opaque silk bra and holding a pillow in her arms.

When Liliana saw Rose pressing on Alfred, with the straps of her pajamas hanging on her arms and exposing her breasts to Alfred, she froze in place.

"That, that Lily..."

Alfred and Rose panicked and tried to explain, but Liliana spoke to herself first.

"That's right... After all, Al, you and Rose have such a good relationship, and you two are engaged, so it's not surprising even if you do something like that%^... Ahahaha... I won't disturb you two, I'll go back to my room and rest today."

Liliana said to the two of them with a forced smile.

Tears glistened in the corners of her eyes, and she felt like she might cry at any moment.

"Wait a minute, Lily! I, I admit that it was wrong of me to sneak away, but, but..."

Rose immediately jumped off the bed and grabbed Liliana who was about to leave.

"How about everyone come together?"

Rose blushed and made a suggestion that shocked both Alfred and Liliana.

"Eh? B-But I..."

Liliana stuttered for a long time, not knowing what to say.

"I, I know that this suggestion is a bit strange."

Rose held Liliana's hand and said very embarrassedly.

"I know how much you like Al, Lily, and I treat you as my own sister. But even if it was you, Lily, if you did that with Al before me, I would be jealous.

I think if Lily knew what I did with Al first, you would definitely feel sad too..."

Rose's mind was in a mess. Maybe she didn't even know what she said?

Liliana blushed more and more as she listened, but in the end she seemed to have made up her mind.

"I know, Sister Rose!"

?◇?◇?◇?◇?

—Alfred—

(Still can’t sleep…)

Alfred looked at Rose and Liliana beside him and sighed in his heart.

The two of them were breathing steadily and had fallen into a deep sleep. Liliana even uttered some unclear sleep talk, which was very cute.

But Alfred has been lying in bed resting these days. Even after having some fun with the two beautiful girls, he still can't sleep.

Alfred gently stroked their beautiful hair with his hands, and stared at Rose and Liliana's peaceful and beautiful sleeping faces. But what emerged in his heart was uneasiness.

With just myself now, even with the help of Emilia and others, can I really protect Rose, Liliana, and the others around me?

Alfred kept asking himself, but he couldn't give himself a definite answer with confidence.

"Wendy? What's the matter with you coming to see me so late?"

Alfred suddenly felt a spiritual breath and said to the empty scene in front of him.

"Aiya~ Brother Al finally found me~"

Wendy slowly appeared and lay on Alfred's bed with a naughty smile on her face.

The race that Wendy was born into is usually called the Sea Fairies. Similar to the elves that live in the Warner Fairy Forest, Wendy can actually turn her body into a spirit, making it invisible to ordinary people.

"So, what's the matter that brings you to see me so late?"

Alfred asked quietly.
