Night, in the sleeping palace.
Kiz, having just finished her bath, came out and found Elia sitting by the window, lost in thought.
She walked over and sat down beside her, asking, “What are you thinking about again?”
Elia snapped out of it and said softly, “Hmm… It’s mainly that, well, we just got back from that broken temple and now we have to face a new crisis. Can’t those guys just settle down for a bit… the ‘Wolf’ and the Holy Grail Order.”
“It’s fine. No matter what crisis there is, we can treat it like a game to pass the time. After all, the two of us are the strongest, you know~” Kiz said with a laugh.
“Hmm…” Elia fell silent again.
After a while, she asked, “Kiz, tell me, if one day I became a different person, would you still like me?”
“What do you mean?” Kiz turned around, staring intently into Elia’s eyes.
“It’s just… if my memories were restored and I discovered I was no longer the Elia sitting in front of you now… what should I do?”
She felt that the memories that had been erased from her would eventually return.
And once those memories came back, would she still be the person she was now? She was very worried.
In response, Kiz was silent for a few seconds, then she pinched both of Elia’s cheeks.
And pulled hard.
“Ouch, ouch, ouch! Ah! Stop, stop! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Kiz released her grip. “No matter what you become, you are still you! You’re the person I like, you’re my person. Got it?”
Elia rubbed her reddened cheeks, pinched by the little princess, and smiled. “Got it.”
“Good that you understand. So let’s sleep for now. There’s a lot to do tomorrow.” Kiz’s previously fierce expression seamlessly switched to that of a gentle young lady.
The first morning after returning from the Northern Territory…
At this moment, Elia was holding an ancient text she had brought back from the temple, frowning as she studied the ancient script on it.
She had been trying to translate those documents these past few days.
But… the difference between ancient vampire script and modern common language was too great. Even with Kiz’s help, she could only barely recognize a few words.
“Hmm… ‘Twinborn’… the meaning of this word should be ‘twinborn’…”
Her finger slowly traced across the page.
Suddenly, a hand reached over from beside her and grabbed her finger.
Elia looked up and found that Kiz had somehow sat down next to her and was now holding her index finger, observing it carefully.
“What are you doing?” Elia asked.
Kiz didn’t answer, just raised her finger to eye level and turned it over and over, examining it.
Her serious expression was as if she were studying some rare treasure.
“Your fingers are much prettier than mine,” Kiz finally spoke.
“Oh? You just noticed now?”
“I noticed a long time ago, I just never looked closely. Besides, didn’t you study my hands and feet before? Now let me study yours.”
She placed Elia’s fingers side by side with her own for comparison, then said softly:
“Mmm… basically the same… skin tone… fingernails…”
“They were pretty similar to begin with!” Elia tried to pull her hand back.
But Kiz held on tighter, saying, “Don’t move.”
Kiz then brought her finger to her mouth and took the tip into her mouth.
This made Elia shudder all over, her eyes widening.
“You—”
Ignoring her exclamation, under Elia’s astonished gaze, Kiz extended her tongue and lightly licked the pad of her finger…
That wet sensation nearly short-circuited Elia’s brain.
“Kiz! What are you doing!” she shouted, her face red.
“Just tasting it,” Kiz said, releasing her mouth and speaking matter-of-factly.
“Girl… what taste could a finger possibly have!”
“Sweet,” Kiz said, licking her lips.
At this moment, Elia also activated a glaring mode that was basically identical to the little princess’s from before.
If looks could deal damage, the little saintess right now would probably be at the level of a basic attack combo with cleave and a critical hit on every strike.
Noticing her utterly adorable reaction, the corner of Kiz’s mouth lifted in a mischievous smile. “What’s wrong? Blushing already? You’re not holding up well either~”
“Who’s blushing!”
“Look, your ears are giving you away~” Kiz pointed at her ears.
Hearing this, Elia instinctively covered her ears.
Kiz chuckled, then grabbed Elia’s hand again.
This time, Kiz gently bit her ring finger, and even… even she was lightly grinding it with her little fangs, just not piercing the skin.
That itchy, tingling sensation was about to make Elia faint.
She hurriedly said, “Kiz… don’t mess around… please…”
“I’m not messing around~”
Then Kiz’s teeth moved from the ring finger to the middle finger, then to the index finger.
In short, she gently bit every single finger.
Finally, stopping at the webbing between thumb and forefinger, she applied a bit more pressure.
This made Elia gasp. An intense wave of pleasure caused her entire body to go limp, collapsing into the little princess’s arms.
“You… what’s wrong with you today?” Her tone carried a hint of tears.
So the little saintess also had such a vulnerable, cute side~
“Nothing’s wrong. I just want to play with you,” Kiz said seriously.
Elia: “…”
What kind of outrageous talk was this?
But Kiz’s expression was serious, so serious it left no room for rebuttal.
“From today on… no, from the very beginning, your hands are mine.”
“What? What did you say?”
“Your hands, your feet, your hair, your ears, your legs, and your… everything is mine~ I can play with them however I want!”
Elia swallowed her saliva and asked quietly, “Then… then what about me?”
“You? Of course you’re mine too, so your body parts belong to me as well.” Kiz grabbed both her shoulders firmly with both hands, smiling.
Elia was completely confused by the little princess’s utterly illogical words.
“And today I want to play with your hands. Do I need a reason to play with my own things? Hmm? Do I need one?” Although Kiz’s face was full of inquiry, Elia could be sure the little princess was absolutely not asking a question.
Elia: “…”
“Hahahahaha! Little Saintess, you’re really adorable~” Kiz wiped away the tears that had just come from laughing, then grabbed Elia’s hand again.
This time, she used her fingernail to lightly trace circles on Elia’s palm.
“Don’t… stop… it’s too ticklish…”
Before… before, she was the one on top, but why, after Kiz bit her fingers, did she completely not want to resist anymore… What was happening…
“Ticklish is right. I want you to feel ticklish.” Kiz’s nail continued to draw circle after circle on Elia’s palm, and the speed was increasing.
The problem was, Kiz even used magic to make the tips of her nails carry the effect similar to a vampire’s bite.
This wasn’t just tickling intensity doubled; it even made her experience sensations similar to those during the wine cellar incident back then.
“Hahahaha… stop… haha… don’t…”
Seeing Elia trying to pull her hand back, Kiz quickly used her other hand to press down on her wrist, saying, “Don’t think about running.”
“No… it’s too ticklish… hahaha… Ki—!”
A glint of satisfaction flashed in Kiz’s eyes.
“This is so fun~”
Then she tickled her for a while longer before finally letting go.
Next, Elia, collapsed on the sofa, gasped for breath in big gulps.
Tear tracks were still on her face.
However, Kiz extended her tongue and licked away that tear. After licking it, she gave this evaluation:
“Salty.”
“Are you a dog?” Elia glared at her and asked.
“I’m a wolf, a wolf that specializes in bullying little lambs~ Heeheehee~”
Elia was so angry she wanted to get up and bite her, but she had no strength left in her body at all… She was experiencing the feeling of a complete role reversal.
“From now on, we’re doing this every day.”
“What the heck? Are you a pervert or something? Huh?” Elia shouted.
“Pot calling the kettle black~ So? Did you get a taste of how I felt the first time you drank my blood?” Kiz asked with a beaming smile.
But looking at Elia’s adorable face glaring fiercely at her, Kiz thought to herself: Sigh, this should help Elia relax a bit… This is all I can do for you right now.
I hope you can walk out of the shadow of that experiment soon… Elia.
