Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough

Where to sleep?

The two looked at each other, feeling awkward.

Rhodes fell into thought.

Rhodes definitely can't touch Felicity's room.

In any case, giving Lilith one or two sets of clothes that Felicity doesn't wear often is already excessive, since she has plenty of clothes and wouldn't mind.

The problem is, no matter what, he can't just let guests rest in her room without permission, can he?

Therefore, there is only one room, but two people need to sleep in it...

At this point in time, they've only known each other for half a day, so they can't possibly sleep together in the same room.

"I'll sleep outside." Suddenly, before Rhodes could make a decision, Lilith spoke up first.

After a long pause, he added:

"Give me a blanket."

Her slender figure sat in the chair, her voice clear and cold, yet surprisingly showing a hint of yielding.

Rhodes twitched his lips, noticing the modest Lilith.

“Who would let a guest sleep in the living room? Anyway, Miss Lilith has already stained that blanket, so I don’t think it’s a big problem for you to continue sleeping there.”

"And Miss Lilith clearly needs a private space, doesn't she? After all, it's clear that you do need to calm down."

"..." Lilith couldn't refute it, and she pursed her lips, feeling an awkward heat.

Almost every word Rod said was subtly jabbing at her, which was quite unpleasant.

But she didn't want to argue, since she couldn't possibly refuse Rhodes' suggestion, especially since the room was filled with his scent.

She felt a tickle in her heart. Although she wouldn't do anything bad with Rod's things... well, she probably wouldn't, but to be honest, the thought of falling asleep with that long-lost boyish feeling made her heart start pounding.

“Okay,” Lilith replied calmly.

"However... actually, it's not impossible for me to sleep on the floor and you to sleep in the bed. I don't really care about such a small problem."

It was a very concise and clean sentence, completely obscuring the evil thoughts lurking in Lilith's mind, at least Rhodes couldn't detect them.

Even so, he would still choose to deny this possibility.

Because who knows if she'll try to use this to morally blackmail me...

Rhodes shook his head:

"That's not necessary, Miss Lilith. In fact, as an Ascended Being, body temperature and sleep status are not that important."

It's simply a matter of space and environment, so you don't need to compromise.

I'll just roll up in my blanket and sleep on the sofa by myself.

"Come on, I'll take you inside."

Lilith watched Rhodes get up, momentarily lost in thought, but in the end she acquiesced to it.

Don't rush... Who sleeps in the same room as someone else right after arriving? She silently gave herself that thought.

Lilith immediately followed Rhodes into the room.

The room lights had been on the whole time, so the room was still bathed in a warm, hazy glow when you came in.

"Rest well, Miss Lilith. I'll get a blanket; it won't take long."

Lilith didn't reply to Rhodes. She simply walked to the bedside, smoothed out the wrinkles in her skirt, and sat down on the soft quilt.

Rod reached into the nanmu cabinet and rummaged through the cotton quilts and pillows, efficiently taking them out, and walked to the door to leave.

"Well, goodnight, Miss Lilith."

Rhodes spoke his last words to Lilith at the door, and then closed the door with his free hand.

squeak-

The wooden door creaked open, and Rod disappeared into the house.

Lilith remained seated demurely on the edge of the bed, silent, until the sounds outside became sparse. Only then did she blink, and wicked thoughts began to arise.

It's strange, probably because I just pursued efficiency, but now not only has my desire not decreased, but I feel even more uncomfortable.

"call……"

Undeniably, even a god who inherits a divine position is, in essence, still a human being.

Not to mention that she has now lost her divine status, therefore,

Human aphrodisiacs and the feelings that arise for the opposite sex quickly fill the heart, and the look in the eyes becomes hazy and strange...

As for what she's going to do?

She was the only one who knew.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Late at night—Rhodes, wrapped in a blanket, lay on the sofa, using a pillow to prop himself up on the armrest, just lying there.

but--

He suddenly woke up.

Because he felt his cheek being poked by hostility from outsiders.

He was a little irritated, after all, he had been working hard all day... but when his eyes glanced at the thing that had attacked his cheek, he was stunned for a moment.

"Felicia... Hitch?"

Chapter 19 [The Girl with No Name, No Inner Sense] Makes Her Debut

Felicity Calder.

She is Rhodes' childhood sweetheart and the second princess of the Linlank Empire.

He is also one of Rhodes' future teammates and the future emperor of the Linlank Empire.

If given a label, Rhodes would definitely give her "three no's" (nothing, no resources, no job).

This is true.

She is someone who doesn't understand gender differences and is unwilling to understand them.

She could freely act coquettishly towards Rhodes, and she could also naturally say those things that were difficult for others to say in front of Rhodes.

It's not that she's open-minded, but rather that she lacks any sense of management in any aspect.

The simplest example is when she casually picked up a book on physiology and anatomy in the palace and asked Rhodes a question:

[Luo, why, the so-called silver... (omitting a hundred words... inserting... (omitting a hundred words... fertilized egg... gene...)]

Even now, when Rhodes thinks back on it, he still feels incredibly hot.

after all--

Felicity's father was standing behind them at the time.

"..."

Forget the past.

He immediately rubbed his eyes and got up.

Yes.

In front of the sofa where Rhodes was lying, there was a girl whose hair reflected a golden sheen in the moonlight. She was squatting there obediently, her hands cupping her cheeks.

Blonde hair wasn't her only distinguishing feature; at least her light blue eyes softened her expression.

However, she was dressed in glamorous attire.

A small lace crystal clip adorned the top of her golden hair, and her expensive aristocratic court attire cinched her slender waist, while her light-colored high heels subtly revealed the shape of her delicate feet.

It was her—that three-nothing, Miss Felicity.

Rhodes never expected that he would meet the person he was supposed to meet at the Duke's mansion tomorrow, but he actually met him today.

How is this going?

Rhodes was still lost in confusion when Felicity spoke up:

"Why are you sleeping in the living room, Dr. Luo?"

The girl still held her face in her hands, tilted her head, and her amber-gold eyes blinked with her delicate eyebrows as she asked in a gentle manner.

"...I still need to ask you, why did you come back?" Rod rubbed his messy hair and asked in return.

"I was worried about you. I heard you were attacked." Felicity finally let go of his hand, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with her fingertips, then let it down, hugging her knees. "So I rushed back."

"Huh?" Rhodes was slightly taken aback. "Ah...is that so?"

He didn't remember Felicity rushing back after his previous accident.

But enough strange things have happened today... Felicity occasionally comes back unexpectedly, so this is all too normal, so normal that Rhodes doesn't even bother to think about it anymore.

Tiredness – After a long day of work, you only get a short nap before being pulled out of bed. Anyone else wouldn't want to think.

"Thank you for your kindness, my dear Hiti." Rhodes nodded. "Time to go back to sleep, Hiti. Goodnight."

"Hey." Felicity immediately pulled Rod back from lying down, her voice tinged with a hint of coquetry, "You only see me after a month, and this is all the reaction you get?"

It's late at night.

"I know, that's why I woke you up so we could go back to the room and sleep together, Luo."

Ok?

Rod felt that Felicity's words were a bit strange... What did she mean by "go back to the house together"? Did she mean for him to go back to his own house?

He immediately explained:

"It's a long story. My room is currently occupied by guests, so I have to sleep outside."

“I can guess,” Felicity replied. “What’s your name? Is it a girl?”

Felicity's voice sounded a little strange, but Rod didn't pay it any mind. After all, he had no suspicions about his childhood friend.
