After another two days, Lu, who was lying on a bed, finally opened his eyes. He had finally recovered a certain degree of magic power, but he still felt a strong sense of fatigue. At this moment, he

As soon as he turned his head, he felt a sharp pain, and then saw Althea beside him.

"Althea?"

"You finally woke up."

"How long have I been asleep?"

"It's been almost two days."

Althea was sitting on a chair next to his bed, and Lu guessed that she had been by his side all the time. Althea also told Lu about what happened during this period.

After Lu fell into a comatose state, the uprising of the Machine Empire finally won the final victory with the faction supporting Prince Clyde, and Prince Clyde will officially become the subordinate of the Machine Empire because of the assistance of the Northfield team.

An emperor, and also provided them with a lot of help during this period.

"I see, where is everyone?"

"Alice and Selena are busy treating the injured guards, while Caesar and Roland are helping with the aftermath. I think everyone will come to visit you soon."

After listening to Althea's explanation, Lu generally understood what happened during his sleep. Now there was only one thing he didn't understand.

"What's wrong? You look weird?"

Lu was also very hesitant about whether she should ask this question.

"Alsia, your clothes..."

"What do you mean?"

Althea pinched the apron dress she was wearing and lifted it up. Yes, Althea was wearing a maid outfit now.

"My clothes became torn and dirty after going through this war. My clothes were also placed in the space bracelet, but then the wind accidentally blew the embers of fire onto my clothes. As a result,

All the clothes were burned, so I had to borrow clothes from the maids of the Machinery Empire."

Althea twisted her waist to let Lu look at her side and back.

"How's it going? Is it suitable?"

"Do you think it's appropriate to tell the daughter of the Harwins family that she's very suitable for wearing a maid outfit?"

"Can I interpret that as 'It looks good on you'?"

"I think it fits perfectly, but the size seems a little too small."

"I can't help it. The maid costume of the Machinery Empire seems to be the largest size. I can make do with it, but Alice is miserable. She keeps saying that the size is not suitable."

After saying this, Alsia showed a slightly resentful look. Lu also roughly understood what Alsia was angry about. It was probably because she lost some part of her body to Alice again.

Already.

"Forget it, my mother said that breast shape is more important than size."

Althea's cheeks turned slightly red and she gave Lu a wink.

"There are only two of us in this room now. In that case...do you want to confirm my breast shape? I don't care if the person shows you. In fact, I am very confident about my breast shape."

Althea hooked her fingers on the collar of the maid uniform and approached Lu with an angry expression. The reason for her anger was probably because she realized that she was also forcefully changing the subject.

"Forget it, Althea, I can't bear it. I'm still in pain all over my body."

Hearing what Lu said, Alshia sat down knowingly, and then asked about Lu's physical condition with concern.

"This should be the sequelae of using the eighth forbidden curse. The load on the body may not have been completely eliminated... but to be honest, I didn't expect it to be so serious. By the way, Althea, can you help me?

busy?"

"Don't say just one, ten things will do."

"Can you please help me sit up?"

"Doesn't it matter if you get up?"

"It will hurt if I exert force on my own, but if someone helps me, I should be able to do it...and it's hard to talk while lying down. Besides, I just woke up now, and I don't want to go back to sleep."

"Is that so? No, wait a minute, doesn't that mean...?"

Althea seemed to have thought of something and showed a malicious expression, and Lu also had a bad premonition at this moment.

Althea stood up again, then leaned out, as if lying on Lu's body, and the two sides were facing each other.

"Alsia...what do you want to do?"

"Haha, think about it carefully, now that you are in this state...that means I can do whatever I want, right? While you can't move, I can do it to you..."

"Wait, what do you want to do?"

"It's just a little trick on a certain slow Demon King."

Althea then stood up from Lu's body, showed a charming smile, and held Lu's hand with her own hands. Perhaps because she was afraid of hurting Lu, her movements were very gentle.

"Lu, you can tell me anything as long as it's something I can do, because... you did too much for me this time. You were so seriously injured for me."

"Because I really don't want Alshia to be with a pig like that. To be honest, when I think of you being with that pig, I really feel very angry and feel inexplicably unhappy inside."

"Even so, what you have done for me has already exceeded that. However, I am really happy to hear you say that."

Althea gently put down Lu's hand and put her own hand behind her back.

"Lu is very trustworthy... Just as Alice said before, she said you are handsome, powerful, and also very gentle. Once everyone is in crisis, you use that cunning way to save everyone."

Everyone is like the hope of all of us. Faced with such a person, I like you very much."

Hearing this, Lu's heart seemed to be tugged, and her cheeks began to feel hot. In order to cover up her shyness, Lu had to force out a wry smile.

"Actually, I have never understood why someone as great as Althea would treat me, the reincarnation of Demon King Solomon..."

"Compared with those people who like to beat around the bush and brag about themselves and always like to show off, you are really much better. You are very powerful. Although I have become an S-level magician now, I still can't compare with you.

Not only that, it may even get in the way during the battle."

"There's nothing like that. For example, this time against the mechanical dragon, if it weren't for your battle, I wouldn't have been able to destroy it. Alsia, feel free to be proud of your record, because I know very well

, Althea Havens, is not such a weak person. Of course, if you lose your self-confidence again, I will always be by your side to encourage you."

Althea's eyes widened, and then she lowered her head, her eyes filled with tears.

"Can you please stop doing this?"

"What...um..."

At this time, Althea hugged Lu tenderly. It was a very gentle hug that was careful to avoid hurting Lu.

Althea put her mouth close to Lu's ear and whispered. Lu could even feel her breath from her words.

"Lu... please... don't make me like you more... otherwise... I might not marry you..."

"Alsia...uh..."

Althea closed her eyes tightly and let her lips overlap with Lu's without hesitation.

"...!"

The moist and hot touch on the lips and the sweet fragrance like honey were unbelievable. The provocative actions made Lu feel like she was suffering from cerebral palsy.

But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of the door being opened, and the members of the Northfield team all appeared outside the door together.

"Wait... wait, Althea! Just now, what did you do just now!?"

Althea turned back to look at Alice who said this, and showed a smile that seemed to declare war.

"I'm sorry, Alice. I don't want to give Lu back to you."

"Wha...what...Alsia, what does this mean?"

"Literally, I plan to make Lu my future husband. That's it. So from now on, Lu will live in my mansion when she returns to the royal capital."

"What are you talking about! Alsia, how could this happen? Besides, Lu belongs to me, okay!"

In the moment of impulsiveness, Alice slipped her mouth. Her face turned red and she just missed the sound of spitting fire.

"I understand that you two like each other, but... now I find that Lu seems to have a clear affection for me. Don't I have a chance before he officially decides what his heart is?"

"But! I've already kissed Lu!"

"Alice, why don't you just blame yourself!"

Lu hurriedly tried to stop her from continuing, but it was too late, and both of them were in trouble.

"So what? I kissed Lu just now! Did you see it, Alice?"

This time, Althea was aroused with a strange sense of competition, and it was also the first time for Lu to see Alice and Althea arguing. But they are also good friends after all, right? Probably not

Will it get too serious?

The unprecedented noise made Lu feel dizzy. This scene would naturally attract attention... Selena, Caesar and Roland who were standing by the door also stopped and watched Alice and Althea making noises.

appearance.

"It's such a fierce battlefield..." (Roland)

"The two daughters of the Northfield family and the Havens family are fighting for Lu... It's interesting..." (Caesar)

"This is a battle where women put their self-esteem on the line! I've seen this kind of scene in novels!" (Selena)

In the end, I don't know whether it was because they were tired from the quarrel or something else. Alice and Alshia stopped arguing. Finally, they looked at each other and laughed out loud. There was a hint of understanding in the smile.

the meaning of.

Although Lu didn't know what they understood each other, it was a good thing that they could stop arguing.
