The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Not yet, they haven't. But that doesn't mean things will stay that way."

Dixie didn't quite understand what Emilia meant by that, but she believed in the judgment of her princess, and since she believed that the morons from Red Dusk would make a move against her soon, the dark-haired girl knew that making sure her preemptive strike didn't miss was of utmost importance.

Emilia grinned as she grabbed Dixie's button nose and squeezed it playfully. "No need to be so grim and serious about it. I won't be sending you alone. You don't even have to worry about sneaking in and out of Red Dusk, as Cindy Mindy and their team will be taking care of that. And even if something doesn't work out, it's no big deal. Just come back and help me deal with some other stuff sooner if that happens."

Of course, despite how nonchalant she was about it, the crimson-haired girl knew that Dixie would still give it her all. That's just how her ever-serious knight was. In fact, that was exactly the reason why she was trying to downplay how critical it was to take care of this threat before it even revealed itself.

While she was all for letting her girlfriends flex their muscles to the greatest extent, Emilia didn't really want them getting hurt, after all.

"Forget about that… It's been a while since I've been held by my dear knight like this, let's forget about boring things now, and have some fun!"

The dark-haired girl couldn't help but blush when Emilia started dragging her towards the bed, though the excitement in her eyes clearly gave away how she was really feeling at the turn of events.

Obviously, since neither of the two girls cared about what Amos thought of them, they didn't bother 'keeping it down' or being particularly mindful of his presence only a few meters away. And while the external walls of the hideout were quite thick, with only a couple of hidden entrances, the inside partitions weren't even close to being soundproof.

Needless to say, Amos got an earful of all the exciting events taking place on a bed not far from him, and his expression kept alternating between green and white.

Sometimes, he wasn't even sure whether he should be happy that Crystal wasn't here.

Fortunately for him, though, Emilia actually had too many things to do and too little time left in Carmen, so she couldn't just stay and have fun with Dixie all day and night as she wanted, and had to leave within just a few hours.

Since the exit was only accessible through the roof, and Emilia didn't really want to show off too much in front of Amos and the world will, she could only climb up the rope ladder obediently.

It may not be as fast and cool as dropping down like a superhero, but oh well.

Amos sneered as he watched the crimson-haired girl's butt sway from side to side under her flowery skirt as she climbed up. 'Does this desperate bitch still think she can seduce me? I guess she never really gave up on breaking me down and bringing me to her level, and then tempting me with that overly beautiful body of hers. Unfortunately for her… I can clearly see how ugly she really is inside.'

For even his pure and beautiful Crystal to be corrupted and tainted by her… not to mention being tempted, how could Amos ever bring himself to forgive someone like that? He might be kind, but he was not a saint.

His death gaze was fixed upon Emilia's figure until the moment she left, and the rage in his heart only calmed down once the girl climbed out of the secret passage above and closed the lid.

Of course, the momentary relief in his heart quickly turned to smoke as the hero's eyes inadvertently turned to the dark smile on Dixie's face.

"Now that the princess has left, let's have a quick chat about how you cockroaches like you should and shouldn't behave around her, shall we?"

"Your plan failed again."

'Doesn't matter.' Emilia smiled confidently. 'Although he looks quite strong-willed now, I can tell he's not far from the edge. He won't be able to watch me succeed in plans this time as well, and get together with Crystal.'

The raven-haired girl hummed thoughtfully. "To be honest, it's possible that the world will inside him is just so desperate that it's completely blocking his reasoning, but that kind of thing isn't sustainable. It's like building a solid defensive wall from bricks of delusion… once he realizes that even one of them was just an illusion… it would all come crashing down."

Emilia giggled. 'Can't wait to see it happen.'

Suddenly, however, the crimson-haired girl paused. '… Did you hear that?'

Cynthia tilted her head curiously. "Hear what?"

'I think I heard the sound of a pig being butchered… or something like that. But I can't see anything suspicious…' Emilia narrowed her eyes as she looked around once more, but aside from the already sealed entrance to the hideout, all she saw were trees and foliage.

'… There's no way it came from in there, right? It's very well insulated, after all. And Dixie definitely doesn't sound like that.'

Cynthia couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Okay, stop pretending. If you really heard what you claim you did, you know full well it must be Amos. That overprotective monkey of yours is probably crushing his dick beneath her heels for fun."

Emilia snorted. 'No way. Do you think my dear knight would ever do something so disgusting? Even if she really had to turn it to mush, she would use a bat or something. Why ruin a perfectly good pair of heels?'

The raven-haired girl knew there was no point in arguing with her partner about it, and only rolled her eyes in response. "Forget it. Let's just go."

Emilia was slightly disappointed that her partner didn't want to continue chatting despite the two of them now being alone for a while, but she still smiled brightly before sprinting off towards her destination. 'As you wish!'
