Chapter 445 Punishment or Reward?
Chapter 445 Punishment or Reward?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━While the rest of the world was busy debating over her intentions and plans, Emilia found herself being scolded by Noelle for what felt like the tenth time that day.
”Irresponsible, careless, and stupid to the extreme—!”
The crimson-haired beauty looked away in embarrassment as the older girl continued huffing and puffing for almost a full minute before finally taking a deep breath to calm down.
”Listen… I know you’re probably used to taking some ‘risks’ now after going through the whole rebellion thing, but can you please refrain from putting your life at risk when there’s no need to do so?”
Crystal and Dixie looked at each other helplessly, but in the end, neither of them spoke up for Emilia.
After all, while they were very much in favor of Emilia’s pursuit of her goals and ambitions most of the time, they also didn’t like seeing her be in harm’s way, especially when it could be avoided.
Crystal had already used her ability to its fullest to direct the right kind of crowd to the right places at the right time during the parade, and Dixie had been right by her side to protect her.
When the president and his group exited their safe passage, their actions and decisions only served the purpose of tipping over the first block of an elaborate domino setup, and the result was already a foregone conclusion.
Moreover, under Noelle’s overall management, it was unlikely for a minor mishap to pose much of a problem even if something were to go wrong.
Just when they thought everything had gone perfectly and were subduing the ‘criminals’, however, Noelle received news of Emilia’s arrival near the scene of the incident, almost giving her a heart attack.
They were definitely prepared to handle whatever the general could throw at them today, but the same couldn’t be said for everyone in the parade!
After all, Noelle didn’t have many good impressions of tens of thousands of fanatic fans when faced with the ‘idols’ they were obsessed with.
Moreover, the fanaticism that many of these people had for Emilia already made many of the most ‘extreme’ fans of celebrities look like innocent little babies.
True, they would do anything to protect her honor and always support her in every way, but the fact still remained that no one could tell just how they would behave if they ever really got the chance to get ‘closer’ to their ‘goddess’.
Many of them may claim to think of her as their ‘precious daughter’ or a ‘goddess’, but as a girlfriend, Noelle definitely didn’t believe anyone could resist her favorite little beauty’s charm. In her opinion, they were all lying, perhaps even to themselves.
Knowing that the gray-haired girl almost peed herself in fright as she seized the last of the firearms of the general’s cronies and rushed to chase the crimson-haired girl away before anyone could notice her through the white cloak, Crystal naturally didn’t dare aggravate the girl too much. Not to mention, she also wanted her little princess to tread with more caution in the future.
If Emilia really got hurt, it wouldn’t matter how much they regret it later. No matter how perfect she seemed, how could someone truly be invincible?
After listening to Noelle’s grievances, Emilia just nodded her head with a helpless smile. “I couldn’t help but be worried, you know? But since I scared you… won’t you allow me to make up for it?”
Noelle couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “It’s just like you to be so perverted while in the middle of a serious conversation!”
Emilia tilted her head curiously, as if wondering when she did anything ‘perverted’.
Of course, it only made the gray-haired girl burst into a furious blush from both anger and shame. “Don’t make me look like the weird one here!”
The crimson-haired girl swiftly dodged Noelle’s ‘claws’ before her tickle attack could land on her waist, and slipped away like a nimble little deer while laughing merrily.
If she could, Noelle would already be breathing fire. “Who was the one who just asked for a chance to ‘make up’?! Don’t you run away now!”
Emilia giggled in delight while dodging the older girl once again. “Victory is only sweet when you’ve earned it, you know~?”
Although the reason she had moved closer to them before was so she could quickly save them in case anything went wrong, there was no way she would argue over things like that right now. Since everything went well, Emilia didn’t mind taking a little punishment if it gave her girlfriends some peace of mind.
The furious predator naturally managed to catch the nimble prey within minutes, mostly thanks to the confined space in the room, and threw her on the bed to start the ‘punishment’. “If I don’t teach you a lesson, will you really never learn?!”
Dixie had naturally wanted to jump in and ‘protect her princess’, but a few words from Crystal successfully halted the dark-haired girl in her tracks.
Looking carefully… Emilia really did seem to be ‘enjoying it’, and interfering would be more ‘ruining her fun’ than protecting her, wouldn’t it?
Unfortunately, while she was relishing in her ‘long awaited revenge’, Noelle completely forgot that while she was exceptionally good at fighting, Emilia never seemed to have any trouble ‘subduing’ her at all.
Before she even managed to make the crimson-haired beauty cry, Noelle sadly found herself flipped over on the bed, looking up at the ceiling while questioning her life.
The smile on Emilia’s face was full of teasing and mischief. “If you tease me like that, you can’t blame me for fighting back, right?”
As the indignant yet unconsciously delighted squeals inevitably echoed through the room, Crystal couldn’t help but feel a little grateful that the ‘secretary’ had already left earlier to handle the arrangements for the next morning, and there were only the four of them here.
Otherwise, one can only imagine how her mentality would collapse if the poor woman saw this scene.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Since Emilia didn’t really want to ‘punish’ Noelle for real, her ‘tickling’ was more like an erotic massage, with her soft and nimble fingers gliding up and down the older girl’s sides while exerting just the right amount of pressure and strength, often slipping through multiple layers of clothing.
Of course, to Noelle, being teased like this when she had intended to teach the younger girl a lesson on ‘responsibility’ and ‘caution’ was even more infuriating and unacceptable.
Naturally, when Emilia leaned down and pressed a kiss to her lips, Noelle didn’t miss the opportunity to catch the gorgeous girl’s soft and supple lips between her teeth.
But although the little beauty groaned as expected, it wasn’t a sound full of regret at all, but one of desire and indulgence.
Although both furious and helpless, Noelle really couldn’t bring herself to bite the little minx harder, and could only let go of her delectable and succulent lips reluctantly as she gasped. “… Can you not even promise me not to put yourself in danger in the future?”
Emilia smiled as she pressed another kiss to the older girl’s lips. “Since I’m letting you go to a place where there could be danger, am I not even allowed to watch so I can come to help you if needed?”
Of course, the gray-haired girl was too lost staring at the bite marks on Emilia’s otherwise flawless lips to pay any heed to her words, and the younger girl couldn’t help but shake her head helplessly. ‘With this behavior… she still has the guts to call me a pervert?’
But since Noelle was already in the mood, the crimson-haired beauty naturally wouldn’t complain too much, and happily indulged the girl’s passionate kiss.
Just as she was considering inviting Dixie and Crystal, though, she heard the door click shut, and groaned in her heart. ‘How can they be so active yet so prudish at the same time?’
Of course, under Noelle’s passion, her complaints were quickly dissolved into delighted sighs, and soon completely forgotten.
From how impatient the gray-haired girl’s kisses were, Emilia could feel clearly just how pent up Noelle must be after all these days.
It was no surprise, really, since it had already been months since they had last been intimate. Though it was mostly Noelle’s fault.
Emilia didn’t usually interfere too much in their lives most of the time, as she believed that freedom was an essential part of happiness. Naturally, when everyone told her they wanted their own rooms in the Blue Lotus villa, she didn’t think there was anything wrong.
After all, it wasn’t much different from the setup they had back at their home before. Or so she thought.
Emilia never expected that Noelle would use this opportunity to ‘wall herself in’ behind a mountain of work and responsibilities. Fortunately, the weight of her rapidly mounting desires seemed to have already made this ‘mountain’ crumble, and the crimson-haired girl was never one to miss such a wonderful opportunity.
