The Battle Begins!

She actually got shy!

This made Lamaline's eyes widen in disbelief.

Then, those cunning eyes narrowed silently.

After a long time, the two slowly parted ways...

Maria was still on top, but Lamaline could see Maria's slightly flushed neck.

Even when she tried to maintain a poker face, Maria still felt a little shaken and uneasy when she touched upon areas she hadn't yet mastered.

This was the first time in her life that she had made such a promise.

After a while, she gradually calmed herself down, said goodnight to Lamaline, and quietly lay down.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lamaline regained some of her strength, turned around, and once again threw herself into Maria's arms.

She looked up, staring blankly at the beautiful woman who belonged only to her.

Then...

Stretching his neck again...

Nothing more was said that night.

When Lamaline woke up the next day on the still-wet bed, Maria did not leave as usual, but sat quietly beside her, gently stroking her hair.

Both of them acted impulsively yesterday.

But no one crossed the final line.

The most significant act they did was kiss.

However, this action was a significant leap for Maria.

You have to understand, she used to be a conservative living in the old world.

In theory, she shouldn't have done anything rash before marriage.

But now, she's an exception.

It wasn't just because Lamaline was the first person to express her feelings to her; more importantly, it was because Maria was trying to escape the nightmare that was plaguing her.

Because she knew she would be going back soon...

"Are you awake?"

Maria looked at Lamaline, who had just woken up, and spoke softly.

Lamaline immediately reached out and touched her neck.

No wounds, no marks... the smooth, intact skin looked as if nothing had happened.

It's true.

Maria understood the girl's concerns after seeing her actions.

So she reassured him, saying that what happened last night was indeed not a dream, and that she had indeed shared some of her blood with him.

Lamaline became shy because of this.

She sat up, her face flushed, and carefully curled up her legs, hooking her hands on her knees to create a small fortress to hide her face.

"Is this... your first time doing something like this?"

"Um."

Maria did not deny it.

A look of joy and pride appeared on Lamaline's face.

But Maria's words followed immediately.

"If we separate the chapters about tearing into the enemy and being ambushed, then that would indeed be considered my first kiss..."

"Ah..."

Lamaline was taken aback for a moment upon hearing Maria's answer.

She also thought Maria was joking.

But looking into her completely expressionless eyes, she realized that Maria wasn't joking.

That's really what she thinks...

Separated from the desperate struggle and tearing apart by those wild beasts, that could indeed be considered her first kiss.

Such a blunt and unfriendly reply infuriated Lamaline.

The lingering shyness from last night vanished instantly.

Who would give such an answer at this point!

Let's leave some room for ambiguity!

Lamaline looked at Maria with a mixture of disappointment and frustration, her teeth itching with anger.

The more she gritted her teeth, the more she felt something was wrong with her.

The teeth... seem to have something extra.

"Let me see."

Maria noticed that Lamaline was deep in thought.

She reached out her finger and, ignoring the other person's panic, ran her fingers over her teeth one by one.

Finally, she noticed the tiny, sharp teeth protruding from the girl's upper teeth.

Does this effect still exist?

This was the first time Maria had given her blood to someone in the guise of Cainhurst, and many of the changes were things that even Maria herself was unfamiliar with.

But... as it stands, apart from her eyes becoming even redder and her growing small fangs, Lamaline hasn't changed at all.

That's good news.

"Um..."

With Maria's fingers covering her mouth, Lamaline didn't know whether she should be happy or angry.

She just felt that the movement was a bit too strange.

She even had some difficulty speaking because she was worried about biting Maria.

The shameful posture made Lamaline feel somewhat lost.

But after a moment, seeing Maria's serious examination, she didn't say anything more, so she closed her eyes, blushed, and silently waited for Maria to finish the examination.

But... another unexpected event occurred.

"Your Highness!"

Mila, Banshees's handmaiden, rushed over. She didn't even have time to report anything at the door before pushing it open with her bare hand.

But soon, she noticed Lamaline and Maria sitting on the bed, drooling...

The two women looked at them with a puzzled expression...

"This..."

"Waaaaah!"

Seeing her friend standing there in a daze, Lamaline wanted to get up and tell her that it was just a simple check-up.

But it would have been better if she hadn't gotten up. As soon as she did, the bed sheet reappeared in front of Mila, making Mila's pupils shrink!

After comparing the weights again, she gritted her teeth, turned around, and blocked the other curious Banshees maids at the door.

The door slammed shut.

At the same time, strange noises also followed.

"We'll come back in half an hour!"

"Whoa!"

Because Maria's finger was still stuck in her mouth, the more anxious Lamaline was to explain, the less she found herself able to speak.

By the time she realized something was wrong, the other person had already left.

Lamaline could already imagine what these Banshees would say about her!

Her shyness left her speechless for a long time.

Maria, on the other hand, still appeared somewhat innocent.

"What's wrong?"

"... nothing."

Lamaline's voice sounded a little sullen.

But she hadn't been angry for long.

Mila's soft voice came from the doorway.

"That..."

"Half an hour..."

Is that enough?

The girl was really worried about this for both of them...

Chapter 288 The War Begins!

The matter concerning the Banshees is merely a minor incident; the war will not cease because of it.

Just a few days later, a heavy, oppressive cloud appeared in the north of Kazdel.

The rolling clouds were so deep that their depths were impossible to discern; they loomed large and dark, like Catastrophe descending from afar.

The Ursus army was the first to notice something was wrong.

But they said nothing, they simply set sail in silence, and headed towards Kazdel.

The other Allied Forces were still engrossed in their verbal attacks on each other when they suddenly saw the bear-men begin to move, which puzzled them.

But such actions do not prevent them from remaining inactive.

Then...

Then the Gaul soldiers were attacked by Daemon.

At first, the Gaul thought it was some strange monster unique to the Sarkaz region, and they didn't take the scouts' reports seriously.

But they soon realized how ridiculous their initial assumptions were.

The hideous Daemon, like monsters that ignored pain, roared and tore through their defenses with the most violent means!

By the time people actually started to take these monsters seriously, they had already slaughtered two large camps.

This terrified the Gaul.

They urgently mobilized their troops and even deployed a number of frigates to launch attacks against these unfamiliar enemies.

Such attacks, however, had little effect.

Although Daemon do not have the invulnerable bodies of Great Beast, their resistance still far exceeds human common sense.

It took several artillery shells hitting it head-on to barely disable its mobility.

But soon, even more Daemon will swarm in.

A fierce battle ensued.

Meanwhile, Ursus's army hid behind other armies and did not attack Kazdel.

Only then did the other Gaul realize that they had been tricked by the Ursus army.

These guys already knew how terrifying these Daemons were, and their current actions only served to prepare them to fight these monsters to the death!
