“Well… well, damn!” Adele’s feelings at that moment could only be described with one word: panic!
It was like hearing that “a weasel wants to pay you a New Year’s visit.”
Wait… Adele didn’t mean to call herself a “chicken”!
Anyway, it was just an analogy. When a former enemy suddenly confesses to you, wouldn’t anyone panic?
“Turning an enemy into a wife” sounded great in theory.
But anyone who actually experienced this scenario would be horrified!
Adele couldn’t help but think of all the things Dorothy had done to her in the past.
And she couldn’t help but think of all the things that might happen between them in the future.
If they followed the original timeline, there was clearly an unsolvable knot between Adele and Dorothy.
They were irreconcilable enemies, a fight to the death.
“…Please, let me think about it, okay?”
In any case, she would respond to Dorothy like this first, giving them both time to buffer.
This way, Dorothy could fully consider the possibility of being rejected and adapt to it in advance.
When Adele actually rejected her, Dorothy’s reaction wouldn’t be so hysterical or crazy.
When someone is emotionally charged, and you want to present an opposing viewpoint, remember – to pour cold water on them, let them calm down first!
Creating a buffer time was one of the best ways.
Adele pretended to think for a while, and finally gave her well-thought-out (not really) answer.
“Sorry, Dorothy, I… I still find it hard to accept for the time being.”
“I know you’ve changed a lot, but I’m still the same me, I’m not brave enough to be with you…”
“Can you wait for me for a while, wait for me to become brave too, okay?”
What a great way to let her down gently!
It’s not your problem, Dorothy, it’s all my fault, I, Adele, am not brave enough!
I, Adele, don’t have enough courage to face this love!
It’s not your fault, so… please spare me!
As everyone knew, the opposite of not being brave enough was being brave.
Then what was the synonym?
It was “cowardly.”
As expected, Dorothy was like being doused with a bucket of cold water, her scarlet eyes instantly dimming.
Her breathing quickened, and she seemed to want to say something.
But seeing Adele’s sincere gaze, and recalling her own past actions…
Indeed, you can’t rush love.
She really should give Adele some time to adapt and eventually accept her, instead of impulsively confessing like this and wanting to fly away with Adele.
She had just thought about respecting Adele’s feelings.
How could she forget it so quickly?
Dorothy was a little annoyed with herself.
She took a deep breath to calm her emotions.
After a long while, she raised her eyes again, her gaze much clearer now.
Dorothy looked into Adele’s fragile, gem-like eyes and said through gritted teeth,
“Okay… I’ll wait for you.”
“But during this time, I want to be with you as much as possible… is that okay?”
Dorothy had already started to settle for companionship.
“Eh… that would put a lot of pressure on me.”
But of course, Adele didn’t want that!
If Dorothy followed her around all the time, what about her left wing Hermione, right wing Celeste, little wing Sharon, and so on!
Dorothy’s domineering personality was fine when they were alone, but once she encountered other women, she was sure to explode like a powder keg!
“Pressure? Why?”
Dorothy looked puzzled as she hugged Adele tightly again.
Adele was so obedient in bed, even taking the initiative.
Why would she say she felt pressured by her?
“B-because… of the difference in our status!”
Adele bit her lip and cried out, full of self-deprecation.
“You are a noble princess, and I am a lowly Sequence Five. If I’m just your plaything, it doesn’t matter.”
“But if I’m by your side in any other capacity, many people will envy and slander me, and even more people will stay away from me!”
“Who dares to slander you?”
A fierce light flashed in Dorothy’s eyes.
Adele swallowed hard.
“Th-that’s not important!”
“What’s important is that I want to have a normal academy life, with friends I can talk to.”
“You know, even lovers don’t stick together all the time, they care about each other’s social circles and only appear at the right time!”
“So Dorothy, I… I will take the initiative to contact you and go on dates with you!”
“But under normal circumstances, please… don’t disturb my normal school life, okay?”
Adele spoke eloquently and even offered the sweetener of going on dates with Dorothy from time to time.
Dorothy should agree, she thought.
Rather, she pleaded: Please, please agree, otherwise I… I’ll cry!
Dorothy was extremely puzzled.
“Even if Adele has her own social circle, what does it matter if I’m by your side?”
“If your friends leave you because I’m with you, it means they weren’t real friends in the first place.”
“You don’t need such friends!”
“Adele only needs me, isn’t that right?”
Although what you said made sense, no way!
“Of-of course not!”
“I’ve already said that the difference in status between me and Dorothy is too great, are you even listening to me?”
Adele’s voice became weak and aggrieved.
“I’m not like you, what you can endure, the weak me can’t.”
“Even if you shield me, I can’t!”
“I’m just an ordinary vampire student, my power is weak, for someone like me, being able to maintain a normal and peaceful life in the vampire race, where hierarchy is paramount, is already very difficult.”
“Dorothy, if you really like me, and not just your own feelings…”
“Please, just do as I say!”
This time, Dorothy was speechless for a long time.
Adele continued to cry, her shoulders trembling.
Finally, Dorothy couldn’t bear this atmosphere anymore, or maybe, she really felt heartache for Adele.
So, her voice was a little low.
“I understand…”
“That is to say, I can’t come to you whenever I want like before… that would trouble you, right?”
So you’re not a blockhead after all, you finally get it!
This was something that she could figure out with a little thought, but Adele had to remind her over and over again.
Of course it would be troublesome. Imagine the most popular girl in your class being taken to the rooftop by the school bully every now and then.
Then after a while, an hour or even longer, she returns to the classroom with a flushed face.
Even the slowest person would know what happened between them!
What would the other students think of Adele!
What would her wings think of her!
Hermione definitely wouldn’t tolerate Dorothy, and the two of them would fight again.
Perhaps others would join the battle, even Sharon might become brave and backstab Dorothy in advance.
But this wouldn’t do Adele any good!
So she had to stop it.
At this time, being a time manager, planning her time precisely and taking care of each wing was the only way to achieve a perfect result!
“It’s good that you understand…”
Adele sniffed, her mood brightening.
“Then…” Dorothy gritted her teeth, “How long do I have to wait before I can go on a date with you?”
Adele had carefully considered this question.
If she could, she would prefer once a month, even once a year would be okay.
But if she actually said that, Adele would probably be “bullied” by Dorothy every day.
“About a week? I’m still in school, and the study pressure from Monday to Friday is very high, but on weekends, I’ll make time to go on dates with Dorothy.”
Dorothy’s breathing quickened.
A week?
She had never experienced this before.
Wanting something but having to delay and wait.
But… Adele wasn’t a “thing.”
She wasn’t an object!
Adele: ???
She was a living, captivating girl.
Dorothy only realized this today.
It had to be said that things were different after they had done it.
A part of Dorothy’s heart had been baptized this night.
That’s why she was willing to let go of her usual dominance and arrogance.
Willing to compromise with Adele.
“That’s too long…”
“…Then, what do you think, Dorothy?”
Adele thought that it was okay to be soft sometimes.
Moreover, she had said a week, which was a somewhat long time, because she had considered the possibility of negotiation.
“Five days, that’s about my bloodlust cycle.”
It wasn’t that the stronger the vampire, the stronger their ability to suppress bloodlust.
Sometimes, it might be the opposite.
Precisely because they were strong, they needed to replenish their blood more and faster.
“Eh… only drink my blood?”
If that was the case, Adele would faint.
How could she possibly keep up!
“Adele’s blood… is very delicious, but I’ll be moderate.”
“But today, I want to drink a little more, is that okay?”
Dorothy’s lips were already rubbing against Adele’s neck, right where her blood vessels were.
The hot breath made Adele’s body instantly become incredibly sensitive.
Every little movement from Dorothy made Adele tremble slightly.
Even Dorothy was willing to compromise with her.
To be honest, this was already a great success for Adele.
So it wasn’t so hard to accept enduring and indulging her a little.
“O-okay.”
Adele still agreed to Dorothy with a trembling voice.
The next moment, Dorothy sank her fangs into Adele’s neck, which she had already licked until it was incredibly moist.
First, a needle-like sensation hit her.
But then it immediately became comfortable.
High-level vampires could theoretically make their “prey” willingly offer up all their blood and die in ecstasy.
Dorothy naturally wouldn’t let her Adele suffer.
Soon, that comfortable feeling even spread to her lower abdomen and below.
Making Adele involuntarily clench her legs together.
But she had to endure it. If she was overwhelmed by her Lust Witch instincts at this time and begged Dorothy for more, her body wouldn’t be able to handle it!
So she held back her moans, waiting for the drinking to end.
After a long while, Dorothy licked her lips, which had become incredibly alluring after being moistened by blood.
She left a deep, rose petal-shaped kiss mark on Adele’s shoulder.
While being drained of blood, Adele held back her moans.
But at this moment, she let out a soft, seductive moan.
This greatly satisfied Dorothy.
As expected, Adele’s body still liked her…
Sooner or later, she would make Adele’s body unable to live without her…
Adele buried her face in the pillow in shame.
But she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, Dorothy, you should be satisfied, right?
Then after this night passed, Adele would go to Celeste, Hermione, and the others for comfort.
To make up for the grievance she suffered from Dorothy! Dorothy was just work, they were her life!
However, it was worth mentioning that there was only one day left of vacation, after which Adele would return to her normal routine of studying and attending classes.
If she had to say what major events were coming up, it would probably be the student council and the Black Feather Society’s recruitment, right?
Both sides were gearing up for a showdown this time.
Most likely, the student council would crush the Black Feather Society.
But nothing was absolute, maybe there would be a turning point that Adele didn’t know about.
And speaking of which, according to the plot of the original novel, with the student council and Black Feather Society’s recruitment as the starting point, Adele, the “strongest Sequence Five,” should also start to make a name for herself.
In the original novel, she became stronger after obtaining the power of Li Lige, the Vengeance Witch.
Now, because of the angel’s power, she became stronger after becoming a Lust Witch.
Although the process was different, the result should be the same.
But Adele didn’t think that standing out was a good thing.
And she didn’t want her fate to be controlled by the original novel.
So she decided to forget about showing off as the strongest Sequence Five~
But Dorothy didn’t seem to think so.
She thought that Adele’s concerns were actually very simple.
The reason why Adele was troubled by being with her was because Adele wasn’t strong enough, her status wasn’t high enough.
In terms of strength, Dorothy could help Adele become stronger, but that would be a long process.
But in terms of status… she had an idea that could make Adele’s status soar to the peak of the entire academy’s vampires, matching her own.
So Dorothy, thinking of this, asked Adele excitedly,
— “Adele, do you want to be the president of the Black Feather Society?”
