Chapter 479 479-What are The Girls Up To(2)
Nora's POV:
Thud!
A sound resounded as the sword slipped from Nora's hand.
"Your mind seems to be somewhere else," her opponent and good friend remarked, lowering her weapon. Hearing those words, a wry smile appeared on Nora's face as she replied, "Seems like it."
"Why don't we continue our spar later?" her friend, Trina, suggested, her characteristic light smile adorning her face. With her blackish-blonde hair falling across her face, and her red eyes fixed on Nora, she awaited her response.
"Maybe that's a better idea," Nora agreed as the two of them began to make their way out of the sparring room. The room was filled with other members engaged in training, and many of the men's eyes were fixed on Nora. Her beauty seemed to radiate even more with the slight perspiration that covered her body.
·?θm Wearing a flexible dress and her characteristic black stockings, Nora was accustomed to the attention she received. As she walked away with her friend, Trina whispered with a giggle, "Hehehe... looks like you've charmed another group of guys."
"Well, that's all they can do anyway," Nora replied nonchalantly, continuing to walk with her friend. They made their way to the changing room, where they started to change their attire. The two of them were in the private training center for members of Olivia's faction, where Nora commanded considerable respect as the faction's number 2.
"Why don't you give one of the boys a chance? I'm sure among them, a few are exceptional, and even I wouldn't mind dating any one of them," Trina suggested as they entered individual showers, with separate partitions for each of them. The sound of water spraying could be heard as they washed up.
"I'm not interested," Nora replied directly, focusing on washing herself.
"Not interested, or did you find someone else?" Trina inquired, subtly observing Nora. The slight surprise in Nora's eyes was enough for Trina to deduce the truth.
"Nothing like that," Nora quickly replied, but Trina wasn't one to let it go.
"Don't lie to me. These past few days, you've been in a daze, and I can see longing in your expression at times. I'm not an idiot; I've noticed it. So, tell me, my friend, who is it? Who is the prince charming that finally melted your heart?" Trina asked, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. She was eager to uncover the man who had captured the heart of Olivia's faction's ice commander, a feat that several excellent men had failed to achieve.
"Tell me, who is it?" Trina pressed, her face filled with excitement, leaving Nora momentarily speechless. Her eyes became dreamy once again as she thought of Austin. After their date, their first time together, and finally expressing their feelings openly, Nora was over the moon. She had never felt happier than she did now.
Waking up every day and seeing Austin, his kisses, and his warm embraces were the best medicine she could ever have. Right now, she needed nothing more in her life than Austin. His presence illuminated her life in ways she never knew before. The only confusing aspect was sharing her love with her little sister, which, although awkward and a bit confusing, Nora accepted. Her current situation was miles better than in the past.
Rather than feeling constant tension, doubting her feelings, and living in self-hate, she preferred her current situation. Sharing Austin with her sister would be enough to fill both of their lives with love. As long as he was by her side, whispering his love to her, nothing else would matter. This was her life, and she couldn't ask for anything more.
'Ah~ come back, love. I miss you already,' Nora thought to herself, while her mouth responded in a cold tone, "It's just your imagination."
Upon hearing Nora's reply, Trina didn't back down, as she pointed her hand towards Nora's breast over the covering. "And you expect me to believe those just popped up" Looking towards where Trina was pointing Nora saw her breasts filled with hickeys, ones that Austin gave her to mark her as his, something which was just once again riling in the feelings within Nora.
'Um~ looks like I need to visit my collection before the meeting,' Nora thought silently, before replying with the same cold tone, "It's nothing you should be concerned about."
With that, Nora finished her shower and prepared to leave, ready to rinse herself off.
"Humph! Don't tell me! I'll find out who it is myself!" Trina exclaimed as Nora walked away.
"Best of luck," Nora replied, leaving those words behind as she continued on her way. She dressed herself and headed toward her special room filled with cherished items that had filled her lonely heart during times when she missed Austin.
'I wonder what's going on with Olivia? She seems a bit restless,' Nora pondered, hoping to ask Olivia about it later as she walked away.
....
Elda's POV:
"You've been extra chipper these days. What happened?" Lanora, her good friend, asked, her goat-like horns shining, probably because she had polished them the night before.
"Nothing, just the usual days," Elda replied with her characteristic light smile, one which quickly shook the hearts of the men sitting in the canteen, right now Elda, Lanora, and Nyla were there enjoying a light lunch, well both Elda and Lanora were having lunch while Nyla was licking on some blood popsicle.
"Are you sure? Because your captivating smile seems to affect every man we come across," Lanora replied, narrowing her hazel-nut-colored eyes at Elda. Elda nonchalantly brushed it off, saying, "It's nothing. I'm just happy to spend more time with my brother."
"You're a real bro-con," Nyla replied as she lightly and quite expertly licked around her popsicle, her action quite erotic with her looks that gained some gulps from the men around., "I'm more afraid of you, who seems to be raising the temperature in here."
Lanora responded in a scolding tone to which Nyla replied, "It's not my fault if these weaklings pussisies can't handle me licking some ice."
Hearing her words Lanora frowned but she didn't say anything as she had come to adjust to the behavior of her friend. "Speaking of your brother, when do you think that I can gain a match with him?"
Nyla asked Elda in an excited voice, making Elda shake her head with a wry smile. "He is busy currently, I don't think he might have any time for spars"
"Tsk looks like I will have to use the favor he owes me" Nyla lightly muttered back, which was heard by Elda, her brows tightened up, an action which was beautiful enough to once again get the hearts of the men running. "What does that mean?" Elda asked.
"Oh...that's a secret between me and your brother" Nyla teased as she went back to licking her popsicle, her words just made Elda chuckle but the thought in her mind was anything but funny. 'Is this bitch aiming for big brother?'
The normal Elda is kind and loving but when it comes to Austin, that just flies out the window, plus it didn't help with the fact that Austin's control and help the main suppression of the fairy bloodline, one that made its user extremely kind-hearted, good-natured and loving was slipping away, giving rise to new feelings that Elda isn't very used to, her mindset taking subtle shifts.
'She seems to take a lot of interest in my big brother,' Elda thought, her thoughts swirling with ideas as she engaged in light conversation with her friends. Though she was willing to share Austin with her sister, she didn't like the idea of others showing interest in her beloved brother. She loved her sister and cared for her, and with Nora by her side, they could form a tight bond around Austin to keep other flies at bay.
'Humph... my big brother, my love, will only pamper me!' Elda's eyes glimmered with some deep dark intention as she thought of Austin showering affection on any girl other than herself. She was ready to take action if her friends dared to form a connection with her beloved brother.
For a moment, Elda's eyes turned dangerous as she thought of Austin pampering any other girl than her. With her sister, she could control herself, but that is where she draws the line. The two friends in front of her are important to Elda, and she cares about them. However, if they were to form any sort of connection with her beloved Austin that she doesn't approve of, then...
Even Elda herself doesn't know how she might react.
Her thoughts once again drifted towards her big brother, envisioning his strong arms wrapped around her, his loving gaze upon her, and her longing eyes devouring him. Everything about him was driving her crazy!
Just the mere thought of him filled her heart with endless love. Being with him made her feel complete.
'Um~ I need to ask for more dates and pampering!'
Affirming her determination, Elda focused on the conversation, while also plotting to prevent any further interactions between her friends and her beloved big brother.
