Inside the villa, the girls quickly divided into two camps: the “Doers” and the “Loungers.” “Doers” referred to the girls who took the initiative to handle chores and cooking, nothing strange about it! As for the “Loungers,” it was easy to understand. They were the group led by Adele, chatting, relaxing, and snacking on the living room sofa. The “Doers,” mostly Celeste, Tang Linlang, and Sharon, didn’t mind this.

They were willing to contribute to this “family.”

Hermione helped a bit, but then she couldn’t resist returning to Adele’s side.

The rest – Dorothy, Edith, Kaiser, Wofoo, First Snow, and Xiao Ai – were the Loungers.

Among them, Wofoo was clumsy and didn’t want to cause trouble, but she was willing to work diligently if asked.

Xiao Ai was a child, exempt from labor. And First Snow was a cat.

Cats don’t do chores, meow. A cat’s job is to eat, sleep, wander around, and cuddle with the girls they like.

It seemed that the more introverted and quiet girls were more sensible and willing to make sacrifices for the “family,” while the more extroverted ones, although not necessarily selfish, were less selfless and more possessive.

The girls listened attentively as Adele recounted her experiences at the Enforcement Bureau, starting from when Winona took her to the meeting, including the magic power test where she was assessed at level twelve.

The girls gasped. They had expected Adele to become stronger, but not this strong! Just one step away from becoming a legendary mage.

As for True Ancestor...there couldn’t be a new one without the blood of God. But a True Ancestor’s power was on par with a legendary mage, or even stronger.

If the environment allowed, they might even become demigods.

This showed how exceptional the Black Emperor was, defying the limitations of his era to ascend. Such a pity... Dorothy’s eyes darkened. But whether it was her or the other vampire girls, they were sincerely happy for Adele. After all, besides their family bloodlines, their motivation to become stronger was to protect Adele. Now that Adele had the power to protect herself, their wish was fulfilled. So their future goal became to catch up to her, to become women worthy of Adele.

“Hehe~ I’m not that strong,” Adele said modestly, but her complacency was obvious. She didn’t hide anything. It was this honesty that made her so endearing.

“Ah, right, have you heard of the name Lislotte?” Adele suddenly asked.

The girls exchanged glances, their expressions varying. Wofoo, First Snow, and Xiao Ai, not belonging to the upper-class vampire circles, looked completely confused. As for the others, like Dorothy, Edith, and Hermione, they clearly reacted to the name. Dorothy remained silent, her eyes strange. And Hermione, leaning closer to Adele and wrapping her arm around her waist, taking advantage of the situation, asked, “Did you meet her, Adele?”

Adele’s heart skipped a beat, and she blushed, nodding. “Mm-hmm, she’s our boss. I haven’t told you about me becoming a mid-level agent yet, have I? I’ll tell you later~.”

“Elf True Ancestor Lislotte, a taboo name among vampires,” Kaiser said, placing her chin on Adele’s shoulder from behind the sofa, her breath brushing against Adele’s ear, a ticklish sensation.

“Is it because...she completely sided with humans?” Adele asked curiously.

“No...” This time, it was Dorothy who answered.

“It’s because most vampires believe she was involved in the fall of my ancestor...the Black Emperor.”

“And it was a cliché story of unrequited love and revenge.” Dorothy’s words left Adele speechless. “...”

Dorothy continued, “When I was younger and immature, I also believed this nonsense.”

“But now I think there’s a lot of hidden darkness within the Vampire Clan, something I can’t fathom yet.”

“But at least the door to the truth has opened a crack, allowing me to see many things I couldn’t see before.”

“I don’t think Elf True Ancestor Lislotte had the power to kill the Black Emperor alone, and the reason of love is too childish.”

“Ugh...” Adele gulped. “Childish...?” Because if it were her, she would definitely do anything for love. Hearing the girl’s question, Dorothy paused, then added, “Except for Adele.”

Such a special exception. None of the girls present refuted Dorothy’s words, not even Kaiser, who usually didn’t get along with her. Although added a bit late, Adele’s heart still felt sweet.

“Anyway, I no longer hold the same prejudice and hostility towards True Ancestor Lislotte as before.”

“On the contrary, I think her choice to side with humans...was perhaps the best choice under the circumstances.”

“Who knows if she would have become the next victim, like my ancestor.” Dorothy, the Vampire Queen, showed her rebelliousness before Adele without any reservation, a sign of absolute trust. As for whether the other girls would reveal it, the answer was obvious. They were on the same side. Although they might not get along or be close, because they all liked Adele, they became allies and wouldn’t betray each other.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming heavy, not fitting for a party, Adele quickly changed the subject, “Let’s not talk about this today!”

“Waaah, you don’t know how hard the special training was these past three days!”

“But fortunately, the result was good~.” Adele’s chatter and complaints made the girls chuckle.

And not long after, Adele seemed to remember something and suddenly called out towards Celeste in the dining room, “Celeste! Don’t be busy, come here~.”

Hearing the girl’s call from the living room, Celeste stopped washing vegetables. Sharon, beside her, smiled slightly, her silver-gray hair trembling, and said, “Go ahead, Adele is calling you.”

“I’ll take care of this.”

“...I’ll be back soon.”

Sharon shook her head with a smile, indicating that it was fine.

Adele had a deeper meaning in calling Celeste over. Because the power Adele inherited came entirely from True Ancestor Ron, an elemental vampire, the high-ups in the Enforcement Bureau found experts in elemental magic to give Adele unprecedented special training. It could be said that Adele now possessed the combined knowledge of many experts, becoming a master of elemental magic among vampires.

This was a sign of humanity’s sincerity, the Enforcement Bureau’s recognition and investment in Adele.

But at this moment, Adele wanted to break the rules once, disregarding the possible confidentiality agreements and protocols—after all, when signing the “Mid-Level Agent Employment Contract,”

Adele just signed it naively without even looking at it.

So she really didn’t know if there were any confidentiality clauses! If there were... Then I’m sorry, everyone!

She really wanted her two wings, the Ice and Fire Wings, Hermione and Celeste, to gain this precious experience in elemental magic! This was why Adele specifically called Celeste over! She planned to teach the girls, who were incredibly important to her, everything she learned during her special training without reservation. And in Adele’s harem, the only ones suitable for learning this precious experience seemed to be Hermione and Celeste.

But the living room wasn’t a suitable place for this, so Adele thought for a moment and decided to use a bedroom on the second floor and spend some time alone with Hermione and Celeste.

The other girls looked at Adele enviously, but they were understanding and didn’t complain.

Just like that, Adele took Hermione and Celeste’s hands and ran upstairs.

The two followed closely behind, each looking away from the other, their awkwardness evident. Although not to the point of “water and fire incompatibility,” if they were in the same space, neither Hermione nor Celeste would take the initiative to talk to each other. But if you really thought about it, Adele’s long journey, all the stories she experienced, actually began with these two: Ice Queen Hermione and Celeste, the Sequence Two honor student who had a crush on Adele. This was the story they started together.

Recalling the past was filled with emotions, but there was no need to discuss who was right or wrong anymore. At least, Adele thought so. Because whether it was Hermione or Celeste, they were both Adele’s wives! So they were both right! No objections!

..................

The bedroom on the second floor was decorated in a European style, elegant and gorgeous, mainly in white and gold, but not overly ornate, more simple and refreshing. The first thing that caught your eye was a large princess bed, big enough for three people. Adele liked the kitten plushie on the bed, so she immediately jumped onto the soft mattress and hugged it, not wanting to let go. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Hermione and Celeste stood awkwardly at the door. Hermione took the initiative, pretending to be calm as she walked towards the small balcony to tend to a potted rose. But unfortunately, the rose was half-withered from neglect. The breeze blew, and the setting sun shone through the French windows, creating a warm and beautiful atmosphere in this private space.

Celeste sat down by the bed, gazing at Adele obediently. Adele glanced at Celeste, then at Hermione, who was pretending to be indifferent, and shook her head helplessly. But after a moment of thought, her eyes suddenly lit up. She seemed to have thought of a way to resolve this awkward situation.

The next moment, the girl extended her hand and silently chanted a high-level elemental magic spell. The half-withered rose, before Hermione’s eyes, regained its vitality and became even more vibrant. The rose’s vines extended, lifting it up to Hermione. “...” The elegant girl with long silver-blue hair reached out, and a rose naturally fell into her palm. The thorns on the vines were gone, so as not to hurt Hermione’s skin. Similarly, another rose was offered to Celeste by the growing vines. After she took the rose, the vines slowly retracted.

And Adele’s words, filled with tenderness, followed, “The rose is me.”

“Without your love, I would wither.” Such words made both girls speechless for a moment.

Celeste was the first to sniff and soften towards her Master, “I’m sor...” But she was interrupted by Hermione.

“No, I’m the one who should apologize, not just to Adele, but also to you, Celeste.”

“Actually, thinking back, how could I, such a jerk back then, have the audacity to say ‘I protected Adele’?”

“Even now, I’m still making Adele worry about us.”

“I’m really...too immature.”

“Perhaps, falling in love with Adele was the luckiest thing in my life.”

“It made my world no longer just cold and icy.”

“There are also roses, and passionate love.”

“Ugh...you’re making me embarrassed,” Adele said, covering her face shyly.

Hearing this, Celeste’s green eyes flickered, and she sighed with emotion, “Actually...me too.”

“If Adele hadn’t stopped me in time, saving my life and future,”

“I don’t know if I would still be here, talking to you so naturally, enjoying the happiness of being by Adele’s side.” After speaking, Celeste looked up, her gaze meeting Hermione’s. Usually, they only exchanged brief glances before quickly looking away like they were avoiding something dirty. /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ They had never had such a heart-to-heart conversation, such a deep gaze, making the two girls, once like ice and fire, realize that they saw their own reflections in each other’s eyes. The barrier between them crumbled, burned to ashes, frozen and shattered.

Finally, they both looked away and came to Adele’s side, one on the left, one on the right, holding the girl’s arms tightly against their chests. This sudden closeness made Adele’s heart race.

“Speaking of which...aren’t we here to discuss elemental magic?” Hermione asked, smiling slightly, a rare initiative from her.

“That’s right~.”

“So I’m very interested in the elemental magic Adele just used to revive the withered rose.”

“Coincidentally, my innate ice attribute, as a higher-level element of ‘water,’ has great compatibility with the grass element.”

“So...Adele, would you be willing to teach me the secrets of the ‘grass’ element?”

“Your ‘grass’ element...is it...lewd...?” Adele asked weakly.

“We’ll find out after you teach me~,” Hermione said ambiguously, her raised black-silk-clad legs constantly teasing the girl’s easily tempted heart!

“I also want to understand the secrets of ‘grass’...”

“P-Please teach me, Master!” Even Celeste couldn’t resist the temptation and made her intentions clear.

But Celeste...weren’t you specialized in fire magic!? And the fire element was indeed the most compatible element with Celeste. It should be the opposite of “grass elemental magic,” right? As an elemental vampire, Celeste shouldn’t be ignorant of this basic elemental knowledge... So there was only one answer: she was horny!

And Adele wasn’t qualified to judge others. She was the one...most easily tempted! The girl wanted to say something, but Hermione’s lips had already pressed against hers, followed by Celeste’s soft chest pressing against her. Finally, a pair of black-silk-clad legs, their knees wedged between Adele’s legs, preventing her from closing them. Celeste’s hand also slid down Adele’s abdomen ambiguously.

Adele’s mind was hazy and muddled, but she vaguely felt that if this continued...wouldn’t she be the one being taught the “grass” element!? That kind of thing...no way!
