Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

"—After I minced the lizard into a thousand pieces with my blade endowed with purple lightning, my little brother then unleashed his most powerful magic spell at that time and reduced the lizard into smittens with his purple fire. And that's how we defeated the most dreadful monster we ever encountered." "That was amazing, Louise. You two bravely outcame your fears and defeated a monster that I never heard of. Your story is like that of an epic or a saga. You are so incredible, Louise." "Nah, it was my brother who finished off the lizard." "Even so, I think he would be able to completely obliterate it without your part."

It had been nights—three nights to be specific—since Louise and Christine started their late night chats in Christine's room. Tonight, they were sitting shoulder-to-shoulder on the bed as usual as Louise was narrating the story of her encounter with the Indestructible Lizard. Initially, Louise was just fulfilling the demands of Christine as well as returning the favor she owed her. But lately, Louise has been paying her a visit, even though Christine did not ask for it. She thought that by doing that, she would slowly earn Christine's trust, which would significantly increase her chances of winning her heart. Christine did not seem to mind Louise's actions, as it was better than leaving her alone and brokenhearted, but she had been speculating about her having some ulterior motives. She also took notice that Louise was trying to get close to her and starting to think that she was into her, especially since she was aware of what she did that night.

But Christine greatly appreciated that Louise was always there to listen to her complaints in life as well as consoling and comforting her when needed. Louise had been giving advice and words of wisdom. There were times that they talked about their personal lives and experiences. Probably thanks to that, Christine calmed down, and her black shadows eventually faded under her eyes. Her heart seemed to heal gradually, and she smiled more often. She notably talked less about Edward and their annulled engagement; they just enjoyed hearing whatever stories they told, engrossed in one another's successes and failures. "So that's all for tonight, Christine. It's getting late, so I better go now." As soon as Louise was about to stand up from the bed, she felt that something was grabbing her wrist. When she looked around, she saw that it was Christine who was holding her wrist and preventing her from getting out of bed.

"Um, Christine? Can you let go of my arm?" Novel Fire - novelfire.net

"Please don't go, Louise... Please stay with me..." "You want me to stay the night with...you?" "Please..." Inwardly, Louise was excited when Christine said those words. Christine had invited her to sleep with her in the bed. However, unlike her little brother, who unnecessarily abused one's vulnerability if he had a chance, Louise regarded her with respect, and she did not want to exploit her. It was true that they had slept together before, but this time was different. She had now developed romantic feelings for her, and she was not sure if she was able to hold herself back. She might have missed the chance, but at least Louise knew she did not violate anything. "You are quite demanding, but I am really sorry, Christine; I really have to go—" "Are you leaving me in the air just like what they did to me?" "...No, I can't just. Nevermind, I'll be going now." Louise said before she turned her back. "No!" "Woah!"

Suddenly, Christine forcefully pulled Louise toward the bed, making both of them tumble to the bed, which caused Christine to lay on her back while Louise was atop her. Even though Louise managed to use one of her arms to push herself up and avoid falling over Christine, her other hand accidentally landed on one of Christine's bosoms. "..." Both of their faces instantly turned red, and their bodies froze. Louise could not think straight, and then she unconsciously groped Christine's breasts. She could feel her prominence and softness due to the thinness of her clothes. She just stared at how she grabbed it for a few seconds before she realized what she was doing. "Um... I'm really sorry, Christine! It did not mean to do this!" As Louise was about to remove her hand, Christine held it with both hands and stopped her from doing so. When Louise took a glance at her, Christine had turned her head sideways and seemingly averted her gaze from her. "Christine..." "Please continue..." she said. "If it's you, I don't mind..."

"...!!" Louise was surprised by what Christine just said. Whether she really meant it or not, Louise then disregards the situation and begins satisfying her desires by kneading Christine's breast. "Mmh... Nnn..."

Christine groaned in pleasure as Louise was massaging her breast. Louise could not believe that Christine was letting her touch her body. After some time, Louise was so absorbed by it that she lowered her body and placed her head beside hers before whispering in her ear.

"Christine... the truth is... I want to stay longer with you. I am just afraid that I would do something indecent on you, and then you might hate me for doing that."

"Even if you do that, I won't hate you, Louise. If so, I would not have kept you entering my room after you kissed my head while you thought I had fallen asleep a few nights ago. From that moment, I started to think about how you are actually seeing me."

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine, Louise." As Louise was groping her breast, Christine wrapped her hands around her back and neck to show that she actually did not mind. On the other hand, Louise was feeling more guilty instead. She eventually took her hand away from Christine's softness and embraced her back instead. "I have been thinking about it for a while, and it keeps bothering my mind." Christine's soft voice reached Louise's ears. "A moment before we teleported here, I heard you saying that you would take me if His Imperial Highness discarded me. Am I right in what I am assuming, right?" "I mean...well, your assumptions are right, Christine. I like women, and you know that. I have fallen in love with you, and I want you to be mine."

While they were embracing one another, Louise finally confessed her feelings for her. She exerted a lot of courage to say it, but it was worth the effort as she felt it relieved a huge burden on her shoulders. "So you are serious about it, huh?" "How about you, Christine? Don't you love Prince Edward?" "Well, it is true that I used to love him. However, he broke my heart and abandoned me. I don't know if I still love him or not." "...But how about me? What do you think of me, Christine?" "I don't know. I am confused and conflicted, as I have never been interested in women before." "Then how about this?" Louise had an idea, and then she sat on top of Christine. "If you want to forget about the prince, then I would help you with that. At the same time, I will make you love me. It's hitting two birds with one stone." "Louise... please make me forget everything about him. I don't want to be hurt anymore. But more importantly, please make me your woman. I don't know why, but there is a part of me that longs for your love..." "I understand, Christine."
