Chapter 517 Swindled?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Looking at the crimson-haired beauty lying face down on her bed as swung her legs up and down and giggled while staring at the news feed on her phone, Crystal couldn’t help but plop down next to her curiously. “What’s got you giggling so happily?”
Emilia turned to look at her with a teasing smile. “Wouldn’t you like to know~?”
Knowing just how well the crimson-haired girl could divert her ability with numerous distracting thoughts, Crystal could only pout. “Oh come on, can’t you tell me? I’ve been working so hard with the others to get Rhea and Kristie to do exactly what you needed, you know?”
Of course, Kristie’s lack of acting skills meant that Emilia, being ever the perfectionist, had no choice but to turn into the girl herself and redo the whole thing again.
With Noelle’s help, getting a few experts to flawlessly merge the videos together was naturally not that big of a deal, so the end result that was released to the public turned out to be every bit as impactful as Emilia wanted.
Obviously, none of this would have been possible without the help of the prime minister of Phoenix, Bellatrix, but that didn’t discount the efforts and contribution of the team working for Emilia with all their hearts.
The crimson-haired girl nimbly leaned forward to peck Crystal affectionately on her soft cheek. “I never thought we would be able to pull it off so well, honestly. You must be tired from working so hard, right? If so, we could always….”
Looking at the crimson-haired beauty’s mischievous and suggestive grin, Crystal could only roll her eyes in exasperation. “Be serious! We’re still in Phoenix, you know?”
Fortunately, she was able to mask the dryness in her throat quite well. ‘W-Why does she seem to be getting better and better at seducing me every passing day?!’
Emilia just set her phone aside and flipped over to her back with a pout. “Even my adorable Crystal is scolding me now… doesn’t that mean I have been a bad girl?”
Although the blonde girl was a thousand percent sure that her girlfriend was only teasing her, the heroine still couldn’t help but snuggle up to her side with a sigh. “Who would dare to scold our dearest, most precious princess?”
Emilia giggled. “Since you’re so adorable, this princess shall forgive you this time. How is everyone else doing, by the way?”
Crystal thought about it for a moment before shrugging helplessly. “Although you got the prime minister to help you somehow, there are still many things that Noelle and big sister Sam have to take care of, while Justine and her team are still keeping a close eye on the two girls. Speaking of which, just how did you convince her?”
Naturally, Emilia was well aware that the blonde girl wasn’t wondering what made Bellatrix change her mind, but rather what price she had to pay.
After all, regardless of her high favorability and positive attitude towards Emilia, there was no way that the prime minister of Phoenix would take over such an ungrateful task for no reason.
One way or the other, Emilia must have had to give something up. And Crystal was just worried that her girlfriend might get hurt.
Despite having multiple lovers, Emilia was a very prideful and picky girl, after all. If she were to really force herself to do something she didn’t want to do, it would definitely hurt her self-esteem quite a bit.
As if sensing her worry, Emilia gently tugged Crystal and pulled her over till she was completely on top of her before pecking her on the lips. “Why didn’t you ask me sooner if you were worried?”
The blonde girl turned her face away quickly, doing her best to hide her blush. “I-I didn’t want to pry, o-or make you feel bad…”
Fortunately, she had already trained her willpower up considerably by now. Had it been in the first year she met Emilia, Crystal couldn’t even imagine being able to talk or think while feeling all of Emilia’s soft and sexy curves right beneath her.
Unaware of the girl’s already straying thoughts, Emilia couldn’t help but ruffle the heroine’s soft and fluffy hair with an adoring smile. “How can you be such a cute little angel, Crystal?”
Seeing the girl’s blush deepen, the crimson-haired girl smiled. “Anyway, you don’t need to worry. Although I did seek Bella out, she only pinned me down on the bed for like an hour and stayed completely still.”
The blonde girl couldn’t even imagine what kind of monstrous willpower one must have to be able to resist doing anything to a girl as gorgeous as Emilia when she was docilely pinned down beneath them, and even willing!
Emilia sighed in regret. “A shame, really. She’s really charming. But I suppose a part of that charm really is how determined and clear-sighted she can sometimes be.”
Trying her best to think through the fog of confusion caused by her girlfriend’s soft and tempting form beneath her, Crystal gulped nervously. “W-What did she ask from you, then?”
Emilia sighed as she embraced the blonde girl on top of her tighter. “You won’t get mad if I increase your workload, right?”
As Crystal shook her head in confusion, the crimson-haired girl giggled before leaning upward, her hot breath hitting the heroine’s sensitive ears and sending shivers down the girl’s spine.
“Alright, I’ll tell you, then. What she wanted me to do was—”
Despite the numerous willpower tests she was undergoing, Crystal somehow still managed to listen to Emilia’s explanation and nod along.
Of course, her hands weren’t quite as obedient and ended up straying down to the crimson-haired beauty’s slim waist. Fortunately, though, Emilia didn’t really seem to mind.
As Emilia’s words slowly got through her head, however, Crystal soon found her previously lustful thoughts grinding to a halt. “W-Wait, wait a minute, did I hear that right? Did you just casually tell me you promised to make a ‘few’ laws in the Empire of Blue Dawn? Did you forget what you told everyone while establishing the new judicial system?”
Emilia cleared her throat as she turned her face away in embarrassment. “I-I’ve thought it through, and what she said made a lot of sense. So I—”
Seeing her girlfriend’s skeptical yet concerned expression, the crimson-haired beauty couldn’t help but pout. “I really didn’t get bullied or swindled into it! This is what I decided after thinking through what she said clearly, you know? You’ll see it makes sense, just hear me out!”
