At night, Draco, who had been busy all day, was attended to by a group of Rabbit-Eared Girls and Cat-Eared Girls.
He comfortably took a bath.
After returning to his room, he lay down on the bed.
In the middle of the night.
As usual, Albedo quietly opened the door and walked into Draco's room.
She softly climbed onto the bed.
Even though the sound was very faint, Draco still sensed something unusual.
But he didn't pay it any mind.
He knew it must be Albedo sneaking in again.
He had gotten used to this over the past month, treating her like an extra body pillow.
After a rustling sound, sure enough, a body carrying a faint fragrance pressed tightly against his own.
He paused slightly.
This feeling wasn't right.
Albedo wasn't wearing pajamas!?
Draco suddenly opened his eyes.
What met his eyes were Albedo's hazy, intoxicating pupils.
Albedo looked bashful and lightly licked her lips.
Her sweet voice seemed capable of bewitching people.
Shalltear's appearance forced her to speed up the process.
"Al..."
"Mmph!"
Before Draco could finish his sentence, he was blocked by soft lips.
Albedo's eyes were filled with intense affection.
This passionate action caught Draco off guard.
But since they had reached this point, there was no need for him to be reserved.
After all, this was the girl he liked!
Draco could no longer contain the excitement in his heart, and he wrapped his arms around her slender, long, willow-like waist.
The night was hazy, the stars were brilliant, and inside the room, spring scenery unfolded... The next morning.
Albedo emerged from Draco's room looking refreshed.
A smile she couldn't hide was plastered across her face.
This scene was coincidentally witnessed by Shuna, who was rubbing her eyes while leaving her room.
Little Shuna's cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't say anything.
After all, this wasn't the first time she had seen this.
It was just that today's Albedo seemed subtly different.
But she couldn't pinpoint exactly how.
"Good morning!" Shuna greeted politely.
"Morning, Shuna."
Albedo replied with a smile.
Shuna was instantly stunned.
Unbelievable.
This woman actually smiled at me? What is going on?
The two of them usually bickered often. Today the sun must have risen in the west; her attitude had completely changed.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her spacing out, Albedo asked curiously.
"Uh... n-nothing!"
Although Shuna felt a bit awkward, she quickly recovered.
"I'm going to make breakfast for Master."
Shuna, who was about to turn and leave, was stopped by Albedo.
"No need. Just prepare lunch directly."
"Huh?"
Ignoring Shuna's astonished expression, Albedo's smile remained unchanged as she slowly walked away.
Shuna looked at her retreating figure, her heart filled with confusion.
"What does she mean?"
Shuna murmured.
Unable to figure it out, she quickly dismissed the matter... Inside the dining hall.
With several maids standing ready to serve, Albedo was elegantly eating breakfast.
Before long, Shalltear walked in.
Her purpose for coming to the dining hall wasn't to eat, but because she knew her Master would have breakfast here, so she came to wait.
However, to Shalltear's disappointment, she didn't see any sign of Draco.
"Albedo, where is Master?"
"Hmph! He's resting in the room."
Albedo drank her coffee with a calm expression, still wearing a faint smile.
"Resting?"
Shalltear frowned slightly, then suddenly sniffed the air.
As a Vampire True Ancestor, how could she not detect the change in Albedo?
"You, you... how could you...!!"
Shalltear stared at Albedo, utterly astonished, her face filled with disbelief.
"Oh my, you found out."
Albedo smiled faintly and put down her coffee cup.
"Last night, you..."
Shalltear suddenly realized something, and her pupils contracted instantly.
"You guessed correctly!"
Boom.
Shalltear seemed to have suffered a tremendous shock, her entire body swayed twice, and she nearly fell over.
"Shalltear, you lost!"
"The Position of Main Wife is mine."
The smile on Albedo's face gradually became exaggerated.
The joy in her heart could no longer be concealed.
"No, it's too early for that."
"As long as you two aren't married, it doesn't count!"
Shalltear took a deep breath, calmed down, and stared coldly at Albedo, speaking in a low voice.
"Ha? Are you still trying to struggle?"
"Hmph! Did Lord ever say that the position of the main wife belongs to you?"
"This..."
The smile on Albedo's face froze.
Shalltear's words were indeed correct.
"Oh~ ho ho ho, it seems I've hit the mark."
As if victorious, Shalltear smiled triumphantly.
"Hmph! Don't get ahead of yourself; these things are only a matter of time."
"Heh! We'll just wait and see!"
The two women's gazes collided in the air.
The atmosphere was thick with tension.
Then both turned their heads away and parted on bad terms... Somewhere in the Jura Great Forest.
Kabaru, Eren, and Gido had triggered something unknown.
A massive black bear was following behind them.
"Roar—!!"
The three were running for their lives.
"It's all Big Brother's fault. Why did you have to steal honey for no reason? Now we're in trouble; if we get caught, it's game over for us."
"Who knew your invisibility magic would fail!"
"You two stop arguing and think of something!"
"How about we try playing dead?"
The three of them went back and forth with their suggestions.
Just as the giant black bear was about to catch up to them, three fireballs suddenly appeared.
"Boom!!!"
The giant black bear was sent flying.
The group could no longer run at this point.
"Damn, that scared the life out of me."
Kabaru plopped down on the ground, panting heavily.
"Phew~ are we saved?" Eren also breathed a sigh of relief.
A young girl wearing a mask appeared behind the three.
The newcomer was none other than Izawa Shizue.
"I've finally found you."
