I don't want to be a dragon maid!

Anne placed the bundle on the table and slowly untied it. A wooden box appeared in front of Noah. Although the box was tightly closed, Noah could still smell the rich aroma of meat.

"This is stewed beef!"

Noah stroked her chin and said with certainty.

"That's right, this is the dinner my sister made for me. That girl has a strange temper, but her cooking skills are pretty good."

Anne smiled slightly, her tone tinged with pride.

As she spoke, Anne opened the wooden box, inside which were large chunks of beef coated in a dark sauce, emitting a fragrant aroma of spices and wine.

The aroma and appearance alone are enough to make one's mouth water.

"Miss Noah, why don't you invite Miss Shelley over to eat with us? We can eat and have a good chat about the exam the day after tomorrow."

Anne invited.

"No need for that..."

Noah waved his hand, about to refuse, when he heard Loran's noisy voice coming from the kitchen, which sounded like a rice bowl being smashed on the ground.

Before Noah could react, he heard Shelley making a weak cry from the kitchen.

"Noah, Noah... come help me!"

"Lord Shelley, what has happened!"

Noah panicked. She flung open the door and rushed in. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she found that most of the lights were off.

The only source of light in the entire room was a candle in the corner.

With the help of this faint light, Noah could see Shelley sitting on the ground, with broken bowls and kitchen utensils beside her.

However, none of that mattered. Noah clearly saw that Shelley seemed to have several new wounds on her thigh.

"Lord Shelley, are you alright?"

Noah was shocked and rushed to Shelley, saying something quickly.

"Noah...help me up..."

Shelley instinctively covered her wound and said somewhat flusteredly.

"What are you doing, Lord Shelley? You're already injured, don't move around!"

Noah immediately found the first-aid kit in the kitchen, took out bandages and ointment, and then walked toward Shelley with a serious expression.

"Why are you taking it so seriously? It's like it's a big deal... This kind of minor injury is nothing to me... It hurts!"

Shelley was about to stand up while kneeling, but as soon as she moved slightly, a look of pain appeared on her delicate face. The wound on her thigh had slightly reopened, and blood was flowing out.

"What a trivial matter! Lord Shelley, you're injured like this... and you even turned off all the lights in the kitchen, I couldn't see anything at all!"

Noah used simple magic to clean the dust around the wound, applied ointment, and then put on a bandage. However, it was too dark around him, so he reached out to try and restore the light to the kitchen.

"do not want!"

But before Noah could say that, Shelley reached out to stop her.

"Eh? Lord Shelley? What's going on...?"

"If I miss this opportunity, I don't know if I'll have the courage to continue..."

Shelley looked at Noah and said softly.

"So don't turn on the lights, just keep going. Maybe I can be more honest in the dark..."

"Lord Shelley?"

Noah's heart stirred slightly. She looked at Shelley, and a bold idea popped into her mind.

No way! No way, Lord Shelley wouldn't actually want to...

Chapter 88 Two People So Close Together

Noah was shocked as soon as the bold idea popped into her head. She covered her nose and swallowed hard.

Shelley immediately noticed Noah's strangeness and said in a suspicious tone.

"Wait, Noah, are you thinking about something strange?"

"No, I wasn't thinking about anything... Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Noah instinctively wanted to deny it, but Shelley's merciless iron claws had already reached out and firmly gripped Noah's face.

"You dare deny it! Don't I know what you're thinking? You pervert! You lecherous scoundrel!"

Shelley, filled with shame and anger, shouted.

"Lady Shelley, alright, alright, I don't want to anymore, please stop..."

Before Noah could finish pleading, Shelley suddenly and silently withdrew her hand, and sat down in front of Noah, looking at him quietly.

Noah rubbed her cheek, a sense of unease rising within her as she faced Lord Shelley.

Based on past experience, even if he begged for mercy, Lord Shelley would at least torture him a bit before stopping. Why did he not lift a finger this time and simply withdraw his attack?

Perhaps Lord Shelley is unwell. Or perhaps that fall caused him some kind of problem?

Just as Noah was lost in thought, Shelley spoke softly and awkwardly.

“In the past, I might have refused you, but today, it's not impossible…”

"Is that okay? So, Lord Shelley, are you talking about that kind of thing? Like sleeping together?"

Noah's heart was in her throat, and she quickly asked.

Shelley remained silent in the darkness for a while before replying softly.

"Um……"

That simple "hmm" was like a cannonball that struck Noah's heart.

It wasn't easy! It really wasn't easy! Noah felt an urge to cry. After serving as a maid for Shelley for so long, she had finally reached this point—the point of sleeping in bed with the beautiful girl!

After all, there are many things you can do in bed. You can talk all night and open your heart to each other, or you can develop it into paid content to exchange feelings.

"Lord Shelley, could it be that the reason you turned off the main lights was to..."

Noah began to stammer as she looked at Shelley, her heart pounding wildly.

"How could it be here? Besides, I was just saying it's not impossible. I need to see your expression before making a decision!"

Shelley put her hands on her hips and said angrily.

"Just look around and you'll know what I'm going to do, right?"

"All around?"

Noah looked around and noticed something very interesting.

Under the candlelight, the food was covered with a silver lid, and around the plate were delicate roses. Noah could smell a faint fragrance, whether from perfume or the flowers themselves.

On either side of the table were two sets of gleaming cutlery and plates, still damp with water, as if they had just been washed.

Pulling back, roses, food, two sets of tableware...

Noah suddenly had a flash of inspiration; she realized what Lord Shelley wanted to do.

"Lord Shelley, would you like to have a candlelight dinner with me?"

Noah asked cautiously.

"Um……

Shelley nodded slightly, looked at her toes, and said shyly.

"It doesn't necessarily have to be a candlelight dinner, I just suddenly wanted to eat it, Noah, don't get the wrong idea."

"Damn it? Lord Shelley, I would never have thought of anything inappropriate!"

Noah said with a serious expression.

"Lady Shelley, let's go to sleep together... no, let's go eat! I can't wait any longer."

"Idiot, don't be in such a hurry. Didn't I say I'd see how you perform?"

Shelley shook her head, a faint smile on her face.

"What are you standing there for? Come and help carry the dishes out..."

"Yes, Lord Shelley!"

Noya gave a quick bow, then picked up her plate and headed towards the living room, her heart filled with anticipation for the candlelight dinner and what would follow...

Just as Noah stepped out of the living room, she realized that the living room lights were also off, and it was now pitch black.

She blew out the light herself? She seems to have forgotten something... what was it?

Noah stood there for a moment, a look of confusion on her face, before she suddenly remembered.

There seems to be... another person in the living room...

Anne Wendy...

How could I have forgotten about this big light bulb? It's most likely this guy turned off the light! He probably overheard my conversation with Shelley and wanted to create some atmosphere for Shelley.

Noah expressed his gratitude, but no matter how understanding a light bulb is, it's still just a light bulb!

Noah held up her plate, her eyes wide as she tried to find Anne.

"Noah, what are you doing blocking the doorway?"

Shelley watched Noah standing at the door, dawdling and unwilling to come out, and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Lord Shelley, um, I just remembered something..."

Noah quickly turned around and said anxiously.

Perhaps she turned around too quickly, causing a gust of wind to blow out the candle in Shelley's hand, plunging the entire room into darkness.

"The candle went out? Noah, where are you?"

In the darkness, Shelley tentatively reached out her hand and spoke aloud, her voice trembling slightly.

"Lady Shelley, I'm right in front of you, don't rush, take your time..."
