"Hah... again, as I told you before, I was taken forcefully... I didn’t even have the chance to say farewell to you..." Alice said, feeling conflicted about the issue.

"But why did you leave me... and suddenly come out now?" Lyra asked with a solemn voice.

"Well... I am so sorry about that. I only managed to get here because of a sudden event... I will be gone before long, too." Alice felt truly hopeless.

"Stop! Can you guys tell me what’s happening? I am really confused, you know" Quinn said, not sure what kind of cliché was happening.

"Oh... right. As I’ve observed everything, I can say you are really a good man, so I will elaborate some information for you~"

Lyra only nodded, not wanting to speak, allowing Alice to handle the explanation.

"You see... I didn’t lie to you when I said we are sisters, but that was before I was taken. You already know that talent is one of the biggest factors in this world, right?"

Quinn nodded, wanting her to continue.

"Before, both Lyra and I were stationed in this lower tier room, but because of our differences in talent, Lyra was stuck here while I was taken by Nekoball to a deeper floor. And at the time, I didn’t even manage to say farewell to her... making Lyra hate me now..." Alice said, concluding her story.

’Hmm... so is that also the reason why Alice tilted her head before meeting me? So that’s the only reason why she entered the room without Lyra’s permission... But why can’t they move willingly? They are officers, right?’

As if reading his thoughts, Alice spoke.

"Fufu... you are still too green after all... You see, our position is just a concealed and better way of saying that we are slaves. Although we live a much better life than you, we are still slaves regardless. It’s just an excuse to make the world seem less cruel... but you shouldn’t ask too many questions, or else your head will explode" Alice warned him.

Even though he was living a good life, his neck was still cuffed with a ticking metal bomb!

’Ah... so this shit is deeper than I thought... I really want to exit this shithole together with Lyra...’

"Oh... but let’s get back to business~"

"How about making me your second wife?" Alice asked, making sure that Lyra could hear.

Quinn choked on his own saliva! That statement caused a short circuit straight to his brain!

’How bold of you to speak like that in front of Lyra!’

Lyra wasn’t surprised anymore because Alice had already said that to her many times before Quinn arrived!

"Hmph! I am still angry at you, but I will consider it..." Lyra said. However, the relief in her tone was evident, knowing that Alice hadn’t lied a single bit.

Alice was the only person Lyra had back when she was at the bottom. Although affection was scarce in this place, that didn’t mean there was none.

Alice had become her light back then, helping her stand on her own... but because of her absence, Lyra was forced to become cold hearted again... That exterior only melted after Quinn came into her life, filling her lonely world once more... that was also the reason why she had so many personalities to begin with!

"Are you really okay with that?" Quinn asked Lyra.

"Fufu... so you like it too? Well, I don’t know, but maybe Alice will help you... Or us, in fulfilling our goal, right?"

Quinn gulped... she actually allowed it!

"Also, it may not happen soon, but I am sure that you will find another woman... It’s better to choose one I know, right?" Lyra said, nailing the final piece into the already half-closed coffin!

"Oh... what a lovely couple you two are~" Alice teased, but Lyra huffed again.

"Hehe, but don’t think that you can approach Quinn... not until you’ve convinced me. I still won’t forgive you for what you’ve done. Until then, you can’t touch him." Lyra said, embracing Quinn like a leech.

"Fufu... you are stingy, Lyra~" Alice said while winking at Quinn.

’Gulping hard is the only thing I can do in this situation! How bold of them to act like this!’ Quinn’s mind raced, not knowing how things had progressed this fast! 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

’Isn’t it common for there to be quarrels between heroines and some cliché that makes the Chapter longer?! Why are things progressing like this?! But... isn’t this a good thing for me? Hehe, not only did I get Lyra’s permission, but I also got a yandere MILF... is there even such a thing as a yandere and a MILF at the same time? Hehe, who cares! This is heaven!’

His thoughts were reaching far above cloud nine... another way of saying that the heavens were celebrating this kind of event!

Bonk!

"Urggh... What was that for...?" Quinn asked, snapping back to reality after getting chopped on the head by Lyra’s hand!

"Your thoughts are flowing into mine like a tide!" Lyra said, still embracing him.

"Uh... sorry about that.." Quinn apologized, whispering into her ear.

"Now that everything is settled, how about we watch the bout for today’s event?" Alice asked, smiling mischievously... what the System had said really made her actions clear!

Lyra only crossed her arms, understanding what she meant.

"You can do that?" Quinn asked.

"Mhmm... because this tier is lower, I can do whatever I want. Do you still remember how that Nekoball acted?"

Quinn nodded, and Alice continued. "That’s one of the reasons why you need to be strong in this world..."

Quinn understood the underlying meaning behind what she said.

’As they get a higher position or ranking, they can easily manipulate and control the things below them... and because she is not from a lower-tiered floor, she can do whatever she wants.’

"Then let’s go... Maybe we can see something interesting...fufu" Alice said as she stood up.
