Category: Second Time Around, the Villainous Daughter Decides to Indulge First

Chapter 44: Wanting to Grow Up Quickly

Wiping away her tears, Ling Ling, awake at some point, tasted the moisture on Lena’s fingers with her tongue, her voice suddenly turning fierce. “Ling Ling will bite anyone who bullies Miss to death!!”

Grrr!

Snap, snap!

The enraged little fox girl bared her sharp fangs, as if ready to tear apart anyone who dared touch Lena.

Only when it concerned Lena did Ling Ling lose her composure. Usually, she was gentle and docile. No one would expect such a cute and delicate fox girl to have such a ferocious side.

Bang—

Ling Ling’s shrunken tail slammed against the surface of the water, creating a large splash.

The force was unexpected.

Countless water droplets formed a shimmering curtain.

Such terrifying power, if directed at a person, wouldn’t just break a few ribs. Fortunately, Ling Ling was young and lacked stamina, otherwise, the iron bathtub might not have been able to withstand it.

“Ling Ling?!”

Lena looked up sharply, finding Ling Ling awake, her clear, amber eyes staring back at her.

Lena’s heart skipped a beat, and a gentle smile quickly spread across her face. “Are you alright? Let me see…”

She cupped Ling Ling’s small face in her hands.

In Ling Ling’s slightly blurry vision, Lena’s parted lips seemed to be about to say something, but hesitated.

“My head is a little dizzy.” Seeing that Lena was unharmed, Ling Ling relaxed, her tail losing its tension.

She shook her head, her lips pale, as if all the blood in her body had been concentrated in her tail during her outburst, and she hadn’t yet recovered.

“Ling Ling wants to lean on you for a bit, to rest…”

Blaming Lena’s intimidating presence, even at this moment, Ling Ling still respectfully asked for Lena’s permission.

She also knew what she had done, so she spoke even more cautiously. “Ling Ling wants Miss to pat her head, just once, is that okay…?”

Before she could finish, Lena opened her arms, embracing the frail little fox girl.

Ling Ling didn’t move, only trembling slightly, then resting quietly in Lena’s arms, closing her eyes to enjoy the moment of peace.

In Lena’s embrace, feeling her warmth, Ling Ling’s heart calmed, her heartbeat gradually returning to normal, even synchronizing with Lena’s, like a mischievous child secretly playing tricks behind an adult’s back.

Through [Heart-to-Heart], Ling Ling understood Lena’s true thoughts.

She finally realized her purpose in life.

From the moment Lena bought her, she had been like a migratory bird off course, finding her home with the Falmouth family.

“Can Ling Ling stay with Miss forever? After finding Mama, Ling Ling wants to live with Miss.”

The little fox girl didn’t think this request was excessive.

They had already acknowledged each other’s existence; it should be a given. But Lena fell silent.

After a long while…

“Yes,” Lena said, her voice firm, holding Ling Ling’s shoulders and looking into her eyes. “I paid a high price for you, where else would you go? I’m telling you, you’ll never escape my grasp. You’ll be trapped by my side for the rest of your life…”

“Mm-hmm, Ling Ling is willing!”

Although their Heart-to-Heart connection was broken, Ling Ling still believed Lena wouldn’t lie to her.

“If you’re feeling better, let’s take a bath. We can’t waste this water.” Lena stood up, her ample bosom jiggling.

Ling Ling hugged her legs obediently. “Is Miss joining me?”

“Of course.” Lena flicked her wet gray hair, instantly returning to her usual languid elegance, her lips curving into a seductive smile. “I’m all wet because of you, little troublemaker. Do you expect me to wait for you to finish?”

“Actually, Ling Ling can let Miss bathe first…”

“What did you say?”

“Ah, Ling Ling said she wants to help Miss wash her back!”

The little fox girl realized Lena was giving her an opportunity to serve her and quickly corrected herself.

“That’s more like it.”

Lena stepped in front of Ling Ling, squirting some shower gel onto her hand, and began massaging Ling Ling’s legs, starting from her thighs.

Her hands cleansed every inch of Ling Ling’s body, creating a thick lather of white foam.

A picturesque scene unfolded before the young fox girl’s eyes.

An angel’s face with a devil’s figure, was there any creature more beautiful than Lena?

Ling Ling shyly covered her face, peeking through her fingers at Lena’s curves.

“Just look if you want, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”

Ling Ling’s eyes widened, and she covered her nose.

Lena didn’t mind flaunting her assets in front of her maid, especially since Ling Ling was more important to her than anything.

“Miss’s figure is so amazing, unlike Ling Ling, who’s short and flat…”

The little fox girl splashed the water with her tail, a mixture of embarrassment and excitement.

She said longingly, “When will Ling Ling become as amazing as Miss…?”

She wanted to grow up quickly, to be close to Miss, to be pampered in Miss’s arms…

Ling Ling had so many things she wanted to do, but she was still too weak, not yet strong enough to stand by Lena’s side, let alone achieve her dreams.

Hearing Ling Ling’s words, Lena rolled her eyes playfully, straightening her back and jumping slightly.

“So amazing,” the little fox girl said enviously, looking down at her own flat chest.

“Exercise more, and they’ll grow bigger. After finishing your chores every day, exercise with your hands for half an hour. If you persevere, you’ll become like me.”

Lena made up a lie, deceiving the naive little fox girl, a gentle smile on her face.

“Oh, right, it only works if you do it in front of the person you like the most. Does Ling Ling have someone she likes? If not, that’s a pity, the effect will be greatly reduced.”

“Ling Ling has someone she likes!” The little fox girl’s eyes lit up. “Someone she likes very, very much!”

“Really? Who could that be?”

Lena finished washing herself, brought over a small stool, and started lathering Ling Ling with foam.

“Close your eyes, I’m going to rinse you now.”

The little fox girl obediently closed her eyes, folding her ears. A bucket of water poured over her head, flowing down her golden hair.

“So comfortable~”

Taking a hot bath was a luxury only nobles could afford. Servants like Ling Ling could only use cold well water for a quick rinse, let alone enjoying fluffy foam.

So, Ling Ling cherished every opportunity to bathe; it was a precious gift from Lena.

No one else had it, only she did.

“Ling Ling likes… Miss…”

The sound of running water almost drowned out her confession.

“I can’t hear you, say it again.”

“I like Miss, hoo~” Ling Ling couldn’t help herself, her voice soft and sweet.

Lena smiled. “Say it all together.”

“Mmm…” After struggling for a moment, the little fox girl resigned herself to her fate, gathering her courage and shouting, “Ling Ling likes Miss the most! Ling Ling wants to marry Miss and be pampered in Miss’s arms! And then… and then… have lots of little foxes, a whole litter!”

Her sweet voice echoed in the bathroom, and Lena smiled with satisfaction.

Her slender fingers, covered in foam, gently scrubbed Ling Ling’s small back, each movement filled with affection.

The little fox girl gasped, as if having used up a decade’s worth of courage…

Chapter 43: Crying For You

“Miss…” Ling Ling’s face drew closer, almost touching Lena’s swan-like neck. Her breath, warm against Lena’s sensitive skin, sent shivers down her spine. “Ling Ling wants to make Miss happy…”

“Don’t be silly!”

Lena broke free of the [Bewitching Shadow] after just a second, but the desire to possess the little fox girl lingered.

Even as a sixth-rank Necromancer, she couldn’t resist the foxkin’s innate ability.

Mental attacks were different from physical or magical attacks. Unless countered by a specialist or a magical artifact, one could only endure.

Although only rank one, Ling Ling could bypass the rank restrictions and influence Lena’s thoughts. Truly terrifying.

“I’m angry, Ling Ling. Don’t make things difficult for me…”

Lena muttered, noticing something amiss with the little fox girl’s fumbling.

This wasn’t right. Ling Ling didn’t have the courage; she hadn’t even dared to touch Lena before, so why the sudden change…?

Something was definitely up!

Lena resisted the urge to pounce on Ling Ling, flipping her over and pinning the young fox girl down, her pupils dilated into pink hearts.

“Just as I suspected, the foxkin’s annual estrus cycle has arrived…”

Lena’s hand slipped under Ling Ling’s skirt, expertly tearing the thin stockings. With a few ripping sounds, a strange, symmetrical pattern appeared below Ling Ling’s navel, shimmering with a purplish-red light.

The pattern resembled a seed, now sprouting, thorny vines growing symmetrically before Lena’s eyes.

Gradually, the vines entwined, surrounding the seed, forming a captivating rose-purple heart, the source of Ling Ling’s alluring aura.

“Dual profession…”

Lena recalled the scene of Ling Ling controlling the plants during her dance, combined with the silver markings on her stomach. Was it possible…?

A sudden, bold, almost crazy idea struck Lena.

This wasn’t a dual profession, but a completely new one… A profession never before recorded in history!

So, a Dancer combined with plant control?

It was like a jungle guardian Druid wearing pointe shoes and performing ballet, a comical image almost forming in Lena’s mind.

This had potential! Great potential!

“Hmm, what should I name it?”

Lena’s stocking-clad thigh pinned Ling Ling down as she pondered the next steps, continuing to tear the stockings from the little fox girl’s delicate feet.

The sweet, milky scent unique to young girls filled Lena’s nostrils. As they grew older, this sweet fragrance would gradually transform into an alluring, captivating aroma.

The so-called “foxy scent” referred to the foxkin’s indescribable charm.

Some possessed graceful figures, using their slender waists for pleasure; others had silver tongues and captivating eyes, making people lose themselves, drawn to them like moths to a flame, tearing at their clothes, experiencing a blissful sensation like being immersed in a hot spring.

Passively attracting people, passively releasing pheromones, passively gaining strength…

The foxkin, skilled at manipulating desires, were like vampire flies, feeding on the strong, draining their lifeblood before moving on to the next target.

However, the Ling Ling before Lena was still too young.

“As long as she gets through this stage, she should be fine.”

Lena looked at the delectable little fox girl, a troubled expression on her face.

She didn’t know this was Ling Ling’s estrus period. Otherwise, she would have prepared the Ice Worm Ointment in advance. After all, she had managed it in her past life. It was careless of her to forget this time.

“But on the bright side, this is Ling Ling’s first time, which means this naive little thing is starting to grow up, becoming an adult.”

Thinking about the changes in Ling Ling, Lena couldn’t help but smile.

What parent wouldn’t be happy to see their child grow?

Ling Ling was simply experiencing a normal physiological stage of foxkin adolescence. Lena had nothing to worry about, but rather, she was happy for her…

“The new profession can wait. Although it’s a physiological phenomenon, it still needs to be taken seriously.”

Lena decided to be a good mother, generously forgiving Ling Ling’s impulsive behavior.

She filled the bathtub with warm water, undressed Ling Ling, and gently wiped the sweat from her skin with a damp towel.

Ling Ling’s flushed skin was incredibly alluring. Lena carried the naked little fox girl to the bathtub, immersing her in the warm water. Only then could Lena avert her gaze, focusing on the smooth tiles beneath her feet.

“Just her first estrus and it’s already this intense. How did Ling Ling endure it before?”

Lena searched through her memories, piecing them together, pondering…

Finally, a scene flashed through her mind, like a surging tide.

In her past life, while fleeing the empire’s pursuit, every night, unknown to Lena, Ling Ling would bite down on a handkerchief, suppressing her desires. And to avoid disturbing Lena’s rest, she even took suppressants, delaying her estrus cycle. The side effect was excruciating abdominal pain, but Ling Ling never complained, burying her suffering deep within her heart, only daring to sob softly at night.

“To go to such lengths for me…”

Lena’s nose stung, and she suddenly felt unable to face Ling Ling. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner? I could have helped you…”

It wasn’t that Ling Ling hadn’t wanted to mention it, but she had placed Lena’s well-being above her own.

To Ling Ling, Lena was everything, the fire in her life. Troubling Lena would mean spending more time dealing with her estrus, reducing their rest time and increasing the risk of exposure.

Ling Ling had carefully considered this before keeping it a secret.

Of course, if Lena had noticed sooner, Ling Ling would have told her without hesitation, and she wouldn’t have had to suffer so much.

Unfortunately, Lena’s realization came too late.

Ling Ling had collapsed in a pool of blood, dying at the hands of the empire, the light in her always lively eyes extinguished, her gaze empty and lifeless, staring blankly at something, as if waiting for someone’s return, yet also hoping that person would never return, escaping as far away as possible, protecting themselves…

“So foolish…”

Lena sighed, gently rubbing Ling Ling’s delicate belly, over and over again, as if trying to ease her pain.

“No, I’m the foolish one. I’m the one who hurt you… Ling Ling.”

She murmured, entering the bathtub and embracing the small girl she loved but didn’t dare to possess.

Her clothes were soaked, tears streaming down her face. Lena had never admitted to crying before; crying was a sign of weakness, something only the frail and helpless did, remaining weak and useless even after venting their grievances.

But this was Ling Ling.

She was willing to cry for Ling Ling, to grieve for her, to lower her pride and be truly “weak” for once.

“Miss… why are you crying?”

Chapter 42: Bewitching Shadow

The Falmouth mansion wasn’t far from Saint Lorenzo Academy, so Lena arrived home quickly. Opening her bedroom door, she saw the little fox girl sleeping soundly on the floor. Lena quietly approached and stroked her large, fluffy tail, which resembled a Simmons mattress.

“Tickles…”

The tail lifted weakly, swayed in the air, and then softly fell back down, covering Lena’s hand.

Ling Ling hadn’t slept all night. After finishing her chores, she had waited for Lena, spending hours cleaning Lena’s room without touching anything inside.

The neatly folded bedding and spotless floor tiles all spoke to the room’s owner’s obsession with cleanliness. But Ling Ling had perfectly grasped Lena’s habits, ensuring nothing dirty or unsightly was present…

“Snore…”

A soft, childish snore.

The little fox girl unconsciously curled up, using her thick tail as a barrier against any “intruders.”

Including Lena’s mischievous hands.

Lena stared blankly as her hand sank into the soft fur, realizing too late when she tried to pull it out. “This little thing’s fur is incredibly soft.”

Like an electric blanket, the warmth spread quickly. Lena had only lingered for three seconds, but her palms were already warm.

“It would make excellent insulation. I should take a sample and study it. It could be a best-selling product.”

Lena joked about the sleeping fox girl.

Her wicked thoughts hadn’t been swayed by Angel at all; in fact, they were even stronger, occasionally surfacing.

Lena’s unruly nature wouldn’t be influenced by anything.

However, she would try to be more lenient with Angel, as per their agreement.

She would give Angel time to change her.

She would also offer a degree of tolerance as a bargaining chip. The more she gave, the more she would eventually take back.

Like a high-interest loan disguised as a secured investment.

Lena reaped the rewards effortlessly, watching as Angel busied herself for her, scheming and even offering herself, changing herself while also becoming more like Lena…

It was truly fascinating.

Just thinking about it made her hungry.

“Calling me an idiot, who’s the real idiot here?”

Lena lifted the little fox girl’s skirt. The white, form-fitting stockings were worn as instructed, her tail poking out from the hole in her skirt, allowing for easy movement.

“Hmm, very healthy. Her bones are growing quickly, and she’s even a little taller than yesterday…”

Lena took the opportunity to examine Ling Ling’s body thoroughly.

With the aid of magic, it wasn’t difficult, but she had to be careful not to wake her. After a busy night, Ling Ling hadn’t had enough rest, and Lena didn’t want her to develop the habit of staying up late at a young age…

Lena wanted to witness Ling Ling’s growth. Until then, she had to stay alive.

This was her second biggest goal, after revenge.

“Miss?”

Her eyelashes fluttered, and the little fox girl slowly woke up.

She immediately sensed Lena’s return. Her previously idle tail sprang back to life with surprising vigor.

Whoosh~

The powerful tail wagged like a fan, her gray hair swaying, intertwining with the golden fur, creating a beautiful picture.

The little fox girl sat up properly. “Miss, you’re back!”

“Mm, you cleaned the room? Good job.”

Lena lifted Ling Ling’s chin, rewarding her with a gentle touch.

After that, Lena left the dazed little fox girl and lay down on the double bed, rumpling the neat sheets.

A few minutes later…

“Is something troubling you, Miss? You don’t seem very happy.” Ling Ling approached, bending down before Lena.

Her golden hair cascaded down like sunshine through leaves, the tips brushing against her cheeks.

Ling Ling’s large, innocent eyes blinked, her intended reprimand melting into tender affection. “How did you know…?”

“Miss doesn’t look well, you have dark circles. Ling Ling thought it must be because of a problem with your date with Sister Angel, that’s why you’re sighing…”

“Nonsense.”

Lena was about to deny the possibility of her failing, then her expression darkened.

“…Who went on a date with Angel?!”

“You didn’t?” Ling Ling touched her flushed cheek, twitching her ears thoughtfully. “Then it must be Professor Agnes. Ling Ling remembers Miss cares about Professor… your heartbeat was also faster than usual. Mm, Ling Ling was right, Miss has something on her mind.”

Gently pushing Ling Ling away, Lena turned on her side, her thoughts in turmoil.

Having a mind-reading fox girl was quite troublesome. Although Lena could keep silent, Ling Ling’s exceptional hearing could pick up any clues. Based on her heartbeat and blood flow, she could tell if Lena was lying or nervous.

Ordinary private investigators relied on micro-expressions and micro-movements, but Ling Ling was much more direct, seeing through disguises and observing heartbeats. Even the most perfect lie couldn’t withstand this human lie detector.

Annoying.

If only Angel were here, she could at least distract herself.

Lena wouldn’t admit to her desires, after all, tempting bodies were everywhere, she wasn’t lacking…

“Miss, is there anything Ling Ling can help you with?”

The little fox girl sat on the bed, her small hands kneading Lena’s back, her tail fanning her like a servant attending to her master.

If her master had any physical needs, she would offer herself without hesitation.

The foxkin’s logic was simple: pleasure and strength. Strength for pleasure, gaining strength through pleasure, relying on the strong to survive, finding ways to bear their offspring, solidifying their relationship through blood ties.

Even heroes couldn’t resist the allure of beauty. The simple lifestyle of the foxkin had brought down many powerful individuals.

Including Lena…

“You really are…”

“Ling Ling can do it, as long as Miss wants.” The little fox girl removed her excess clothing, her dazzlingly white skin smooth and delicate. “Although Ling Ling can’t bear Miss’s children, Ling Ling’s feelings for Miss are real. Ling Ling wants to make Miss happy. When Miss is happy, Ling Ling is happy…”

The little fox girl blew the horn of attack.

Lena frantically signaled retreat, typing “GG” on the public screen, but it couldn’t stop the enthusiastic little fox girl.

Finally, filled with excitement, Ling Ling embraced the person she had longed for, treating her like a treasure, kissing her hand…

“Ling Ling can also make Miss comfortable, just like Sister Angel. Ling Ling is no worse than anyone.”

“Nonsense! What did Angel do to me?!” Lena covered her face with the blanket, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

“Miss, don’t speak, look into Ling Ling’s eyes.”

Her amber eyes turned completely pink, filled with an indescribable allure.

Unconsciously, the little fox girl’s strong emotions triggered her innate ability.

The foxkin’s inherent and powerful one-on-one control skill: [Bewitching Shadow].

Chapter 41: The Darkness Cannot Hide Under the Holy Light

The commotion lasted until dawn.

After checking Little White’s wounds, Lena prepared to leave.

“No need for medicine. Just make sure to eat and sleep on time, that’s better than any medicine… and that goes for you too.”

“Being an idol, I barely have time to eat, let alone a hot meal.”

Angel grumbled, but a sweet smile bloomed on her face, a hint of shyness in her eyes.

“Thank you. When Little White is fully recovered, I’ll have it recognize you as its godfather. When it grows up, it can carry us around.”

Just as Lena was about to ask why not godmother, Angel pushed her out of the dormitory, a reluctant expression on her face. “So much has happened today…”

“Hmm? What happened? Why don’t I remember anything?” Lena feigned ignorance.

“You can’t go back on your word this time.” Angel, rarely showing a coquettish side, stuffed a handful of papers into Lena’s pocket. “I have an important concert next week. You have to come, and bring Ling Ling. She’s my good friend, I promised her.”

Angel turned her head slightly, avoiding Lena’s gaze, as if shy.

“Why so sentimental? Don’t we see each other every day?”

Lena teased, pocketing the concert tickets and memorizing the date of the performance.

She would go if she had nothing else to do, to accompany the girls. Besides, she didn’t want to see Angel’s constantly defeated expression; bullying her wasn’t as satisfying anymore…

Now, Lena wanted to see Angel’s smile, a genuine smile that could touch one’s heart, especially from a popular idol, her every smile and frown radiating youthful energy.

“Don’t forget to eat, even if you’re busy. You’re too skinny, it’s not comfortable to hug.”

“Who wants you to hug me, I should be the one hugging you!”

Angel puffed out her flat chest, her magic-infused belly protruding, looking both alluring and adorable.

Lena walked over and touched it. It was round and warm, and she could even hear a gurgling sound.

“Touch the ‘baby’ in your belly and say that again?”

“It’s all your fault! What if I stay like this forever?!”

Angel swatted at Lena angrily. She wanted to be the world’s number one idol; how could she perform with a big belly?!

Which famous idol performed while pregnant? It was ridiculous!

And idols relied on their youth. If Lena got her pregnant, even if it was clarified as fake, the public pressure alone would be enough to crush her, not to mention the possibility of crazy fans attacking her…

Lena seemed prepared for Angel’s accusations, reassuring her, “The infused magic power can be absorbed. You’ll return to normal in about a day. Besides, you absorbed my purest magic power, which is not only harmless but also greatly beneficial to your body. Increased strength is one benefit, beauty enhancement is another…”

“And the third?” Angel asked casually.

“The third…” Lena whispered into Angel’s ear, “Getting used to my touch, so you won’t suffer so much next time, hmm? Do you still remember my shape?~”

“Pervert!”

“Soften your voice, don’t be so shrill. It’s best to look down at a 45-degree angle, lift your skirt with a look of disgust, like you’re looking at a sewer rat, and then be pushed down by me…tsk, tsk…”

“Disgusting! Pervert! Big pervert!!” Angel recoiled, hugging herself dramatically.

After her teasing, Lena’s expression softened, a relaxed smile replacing her serious facade.

“I’m leaving. No need to see me off.”

“W-who wants to see you off,” Angel blushed. “But if you insist, I can walk you to the school gate…”

“…”

Lena looked at her quietly.

This kind-hearted little nun, willing to help a complete stranger with all her kindness, her courage unwavering. Even the reborn Lena couldn’t help but acknowledge and be drawn to her.

Perhaps Lena saw the shadow of her past life’s Ling Ling in Angel, or maybe she could try to change, to change her values and lessen her desire for revenge.

As Angel had said, she didn’t hate Angel, but rather, she hated her past self, weak and incompetent.

She hated her powerlessness to save her family, hated the empire’s prejudice and corruption, and had redirected her anger towards Angel, attempting to find solace by hurting her enemy from her past life.

But even so, Lena hadn’t felt any sense of revenge while tormenting Angel. Instead, influenced by Angel’s pure and kind nature, she had been the one saved…

Perhaps she was willing to give Angel this chance to get close to her.

To forget the grudges of their past life, to forget that Angel, as a member of the hero’s party, had once pursued her relentlessly.

In their past life, they were enemies, fighting at every encounter. In this life, they had met in such a “mutually destructive” way. Wasn’t this a kind of fate?

“If you don’t say anything, I’m going back to my dormitory. This is your chance, Miss Devil.”

While Lena was lost in thought, Angel issued an ultimatum, glancing back repeatedly, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, practically begging Lena to invite her.

Lena pouted. “A celebrity and a sinner together, wouldn’t that be awkward?”

“Only a fool would think it’s awkward! Only the stupidest and most cunning goblins, two-headed ogre idiots who argue with themselves, would think so! Are you a stupid ogre?!” Angel raised her chin, her voice filled with spirit.

Her slender fingers twirled her pink hair, her simple nightdress accentuated by her beauty, revealing her creamy white shoulders and slender legs. Her ten toes nervously gripped the insoles of her cartoon slippers.

Angel appeared calm, but she was actually incredibly anxious.

Lena’s answer was crucial to her.

Like a couple at sunset, exhausted from playing, confessing their feelings under the setting sun’s blessing, her heart pounding, she awaited Lena’s response…

Lena spoke frankly, “Very beautiful, worthy of your reputation as the empire’s popular idol.”

“Hmph~ you haven’t seen the even more beautiful me~” Angel muttered, her cheeks flushed. “But, you barely passed. I didn’t expect any flowery words from you anyway… um… you have to come, you must, must, must come!”

Angel repeated herself, emphasizing her point.

She didn’t want to hear Lena’s excuses, nor did she want to be lied to again.

Lena extended her arm, and Angel took it. “Mm, I look forward to seeing you shine on stage…”

…singing and dancing, facing your adoring fans… it will be quite interesting.

Lena kept this thought to herself, hiding her darker intentions.

“Honestly, you should have said that earlier.”

Angel looked at the rising sun, punctual as always, illuminating the path ahead.

And under this brilliant light, darkness could not hide.

Even if there was a villain entwined with the fate of death by her side, this radiant, holy light could still penetrate the walls she had built, melting her frozen heart.

Then, beating!

Burning!

Boiling!

Angel had that power, she firmly believed…
