I don't want to conquer witches anymore.

With the waitress no longer in the way, the two of them sat on the floor as if no one else was around and continued chatting.

"Why are those two eating together? Were Natasha and Kazuki always this close?"

“Maybe they’ve already gotten into that kind of relationship?” Amber winked at Duke a few times and mocked, “You’ve been completely dumped.”

Duke rolled his eyes, and just as he was about to retort, he suddenly found himself unable to say anything.

He knew Natasha wasn't a lesbian, but to be honest, he didn't know about Kagetsu's sexual orientation.

"Hiss—could it be?!"

"maybe!"

The two, suddenly seized by gossip, completely forgot their current predicament. Amber's eyes, in particular, sparkled with gossip. In the midst of their excited chatter, she subconsciously leaned forward, intending to share her guesses with Duke, but unexpectedly caught sight of his thin lips so close to hers.

Amber paused slightly, suddenly remembering the failed kiss after Cinderella's game ended. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she stopped what she was about to say, staring blankly at Duke's lips.

"what happened?"

Duke looked down in surprise, puzzled as to why the noisy, gossipy girl had suddenly stopped talking. But unexpectedly, his gaze met hers as he looked down, and he felt the girl's breath so close to his.

No matter the time, those amber eyes are like a work of art that has been passed down through the ages, so beautiful that it is impossible to look away.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

At a distance where he could almost kiss her by slightly raising his head, Duke felt the intense heat, could smell the delicate fragrance emanating from her, and finally saw Amber's flushed cheeks and lips.

He also recalled that kiss, the wonderful sensation of cotton candy spreading on the corner of his mouth.

Duke considered whether he should lower his head and kiss the girl in front of him, but in this silent ambiguity, he was no longer able to think rationally. Just then, Amber reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes tightly, as if she had made up her mind again.

In matters of love, Amber is a true warrior, and a killer a hundred times more decisive than Duke.

Listening to her own rapidly beating heart, she suddenly raised her head slightly and prepared to kiss Duke's face—a failed first kiss before revenge. Duke, however, was mentally prepared this time. He gently embraced Amber, waiting for the moment their lips would touch.

"Um, guest?"

But at that moment, the waitress's voice interrupted their actions, making them realize that they were in a public place.

Amber and Duke parted ways in a flash.

"Excuse me," the waitress said somewhat awkwardly to Duke and Amber, seemingly realizing she had interrupted their good time. "Sirs, I'm here to remind you... the table you were hiding from left early. May we start ordering now?"

Duke stood up somewhat blankly. Sure enough, Natasha and Kazuki were nowhere to be seen. He rubbed his face and said helplessly, "Okay, let's order."

"Waaah..."

Amber pouted and sat down angrily.

But to her surprise, Duke didn't sit down directly opposite her. Instead, he mustered all his courage, turned around, turned his back to the waiter who had shifted his attention, leaned down to her ear, and gently kissed her cheek.

"Huh?"

The touch was fleeting, but Amber was certain she wasn't hallucinating.

She looked at Duke, who had sat back down, with surprise, and gave him a genuine, silly grin:

"Hehehe..."

……

"Do they think they haven't been discovered?"

Kazuki peeked through the restaurant window and witnessed the scene unfold. Her usual expressionless face rubbed her hands together, clicking her tongue in amazement. "Tsk tsk, in broad daylight, utterly shameless. Natasha, you must also think those two are shameless… Are you alright?"

The succubus sniffed and said with teary eyes, "I...I'm fine."

Kazuki: "?"

Girl, can you please respect your lesbian persona?

Chapter 123 Panic Ecstasy

Since the Cinderella Game, Geyue has maintained a good friendship with Natasha. In addition, she is theoretically still employed by the management of the floating city and needs to protect this precious "Witch of Truth". Therefore, she has been staying by Natasha's side during this period.

She has a very high level of professionalism; once she receives the money, she is determined to take full responsibility.

After spending more than a week together, Kagetsu naturally realized that this eccentric succubus was not a real lesbian; it was just a persona she was using to deceive people. But Kagetsu never expected that she would simply stop pretending in front of her.

"Don't cry." She sighed, reached out and patted the succubus's shoulder, comforting her, "Natasha, you're a succubus, if all else fails, use your talent to steal her away. As long as you get her before Amber, you'll always have a chance."

"Wouldn't that make me a mistress? How could I do such a thing?"

"Your sense of right and wrong is really unlike that of a succubus," Geyue remarked sincerely, then rolled her eyes and asked a probing question: "Are you content to just be friends with Duke like this?"

Natasha fell silent.

She clutched her two devil horns and shook her little head. Kagetsu's soul-searching question truly touched her heart, and it took her a long time to come to an answer: "I'm not reconciled."

"That's settled then? Since you're not satisfied, then go and use your strengths, succubus girl." Ge Yue immediately clapped her hands and suggested with ill intent, "Even if you can't win Duke's heart, you can still get his body! Let me tell you, men are very superficial creatures. First, find a way to become his casual sex partner, then get a child, and he'll take responsibility. That way, you'll rise to power through your child, won't you? You know, elves' fertility is much worse than succubi's."

Natasha: "?"

Who exactly is the succubus of chaos and evil?

"Just kidding." Seeing that Natasha didn't seem to accept her opinion, Geyue returned to her usual expressionless face, shook her head regretfully, then turned her head to look in several directions, raised her eyebrows in surprise, and muttered a few words: "Besides us, there are actually several other groups of people following them... Tsk, as expected of the living legend of the floating city, they are really popular."

As she spoke, she grabbed Natasha's clothes and led her away from the spot—it was far too easy to be discovered here. Although Duke and Amber probably wouldn't be paying attention to them at this moment, as a top assassin (profession: weapon master), Geyue couldn't accept her surveillance being discovered.

"Speaking of which... if we see them walking into a love hotel later, will this idiot burst into tears on the spot?"

For some reason, Kazuki suddenly wanted to see this distorted scene.

……

Duke and Amber ate their meal quickly, as neither of them was really focused on eating; they were both savoring the brief moment of intimacy they had just shared.

But soon, their attention returned to each other.

After all, in a relationship, what you like is the person, not their body. Being happy together is more important than how many times the other person tries to seduce you. In fact, it is precisely because the time spent together is comfortable that occasional flirting becomes even more alluring.

A sumptuous lunch was quickly enjoyed amidst the two's laughter and conversation.

After a short but enjoyable meal, they resumed their date. Duke's previous preparations were unnecessary, because he realized that sometimes, a date doesn't need a romantic setting; all you need is someone you like by your side, and the whole world becomes beautifully romantic.

Just walking with Amber, even just strolling down the street, is a wonderful experience.

The only problem is...

"Hey? Duke, Amber?"

The Cake Princess, who hadn't appeared for a long time, opened her eyes wide in surprise and happened to see Duke and Amber walking hand in hand. This time, fate didn't give them any room to hide. Gretel was in a small shop by the roadside at the time. When she saw the two passing by, she called out to them directly.

Duke had heard that Grete was working for the witch Eve, running a shop selling potions, but he never knew exactly where the shop was. He never expected to run into her like this. To be honest, it was really strange to run into so many acquaintances in such a big floating city.

Duke felt as if he was being targeted by some unseen fate.

"Huh? Huh! What happened? You two! Could it be that...!"

Little Greta exclaimed in surprise, gesturing wildly in a somewhat chaotic manner. She was holding a bottle of strange potion in her hand, and Duke, worried that she would spill it, quickly said, "Put down the potion in your hand first."

"Oh, okay." Gretel obediently put down the potion in his hand, then continued chattering, "You two...are you really together?"

"I love you!" the Cake Princess exclaimed excitedly, but her tone betrayed little sadness or jealousy, mostly curiosity. This child knew little about love and romance; her vague affection for Duke was less about romance and more about intimacy with her brother—her current attitude suggested, "Holy crap, my brother's in love! And it's my favorite older sister?!"

Amber glanced cautiously at Duke, not daring to announce it for him.

But Duke didn't back down at all, and nodded to Gray.

"Great!"

Gret cheered, then turned around and rummaged around, finding a bottle of potion and handing it to Duke: "As a souvenir, this potion is for you."

Duke instinctively took the potion and asked curiously, "What's this?"

"I didn't understand the specific function of the 'love potion' that Sister Eve made, but in short, it's a potion that can make people happy."

"..."

I remember this love potion was supposed to be some kind of really bad [beep] drug, right?

Duke's lips twitched slightly, but he didn't return it to Gret. Instead, he silently put the love potion into his inventory.

"Let's go."

"Bye-Bye."

Greta waved happily as she saw her Duke and Amber off.

But soon, the Cake Princess saw a pair of beautiful sisters in cheongsams sneaking up on them. Before Gret could even react, she saw another friend—her sister Cecil—following Duke and the others in the same sneaky manner.

Before long, the strange pair of petite girl and succubus followed behind the first two groups of stalkers, passing by Gretel's shop. Then, another figure, dressed in an indeterminate cloak and exuding an aura of the dead, also followed in the direction Duke and the others had gone.

"Hmm?" Grete tilted her head, pondering for a while before suddenly realizing—they were all going to give blessings to their older brother and sister, right? "No, I have to go too!"

Chapter 124 The Avengers Assemble.JPG

"Sis (Today Only), have we been found out?"

Xingyin tilted her head and looked at Xinghua beside her, asking with some curiosity, "Why do you think that?"

"I don't know either." Little Star Flower crossed her arms and said somewhat uncomfortably, "I always feel like someone is watching us. Logically speaking, we should have been very careful, right?"

“It’s probably because we’re so pretty. It’s normal for passersby to keep glancing at us,” Xingyin said casually. As a former empress, she was always so self-assured and rational. It was a fact that the two of them were very pretty, and she didn’t feel ashamed to praise herself at all. “Besides, it’s always a rare occurrence for two pretty sisters to go out together. It’s normal for them to attract attention.”

"Hehehe, even if you praise me like that, I won't keep calling you 'sister' anymore..."

Xinghua was clearly not a completely rational person. She chuckled as soon as she heard Xingyin's rational analysis, but she quickly realized what she meant and shook her head in denial: "It's different. The way passersby looked at me was a little different from the way they looked at me."

"What's different?" Xingyin frowned. "Is it the area covered by the other person's eyelids when they look at you, or a subtle difference in their expression?"

"Emotions? Your eyes can convey feelings, can't they?"

"I don't understand."

The two sisters, separated for many years, were talking at cross purposes. One was overly emotional, and the other overly rational, possessing completely different thought processes. However, Xingyin eventually incorporated Xiaoxinghua's "feeling" into her own thinking, because she knew that this girl had a beast-like keen intuition.

She pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned around and shouted behind her, "Who are you? Why are you chasing after that devoted couple who love each other so deeply?"

"puff--"

A suppressed laugh rang out, allowing Xingyin to quickly pinpoint the other person's location. Just as she raised her hand to do something, a flash suddenly appeared, and a tall witch dressed as a knight appeared before them, covering her mouth and asking somewhat indistinctly, "Loyal lover...you mean Duke? That notorious playboy scumbag, are you serious?"

"you are?"
