Lords go left, Emperors go right

A little to the left of Aisi is the moon elf princess Ella. Ella and Aisi have a close relationship and usually act together. Now, when both of them are in trouble, Aisi subconsciously moves closer to Ella, facing Ella, and looks as if she wants to bury her face in Ella's arms to avoid danger.

Aila's profession is an elf archer, and like Ashe, she is a maiden. Osta estimated that she is about 166CM tall, and has a slender figure. It may be due to her profession that she needs to carry a bow and shoot arrows for a long time. At the altitude in front of Aisi, her breasts are only about size B, one level lower than Ashe's, and slightly stronger than the two loli sisters around her. She looks like an alternative beauty and temptation.

Ella has long golden hair that falls to her waist. She has two long ponytails with purple hairbands wrapped around the two fluffy braids. This hairstyle is only for lolita girls, but it can also be used by otome girls. The beauty she gives is quite different from that of a lolita girl. On Ais's golden ponytails, there is a black bow on each side, with an oval sky blue magic crystal in the middle. There is a black hairpin under the ponytail to prevent it from being too loose.

Ella was kneeling with her back against the wall, her hands folded parallely behind her back, fixed with hemp ropes along with her upper body. Her body was slightly tilted forward, keeping her sideways posture, kneeling with her legs apart, her knees down, her legs closed and clamped around the taxi seat. She had black metal shackles on her ankles.

Ella's current posture is a modified version of the "duck sitting" posture. She looks at Osta from the side, and her lavender eyes reveal a thoughtful look, and her expression is also a complex one, as if she is thinking about countermeasures. Ella's personality is relatively calm and steady, and she didn't panic even at this time.

Of course, her face was still flushed. This terrible situation brought a huge sense of shame, and Ella could not avoid it. After her ability to speak was sealed by the horizontal white cloth, Ella could only think of countermeasures to see if she could persuade the human in front of her to release the people.

Osta decided to talk separately, which would be more effective. At his signal, Sophia summoned and set up a soundproof barrier between the moon elf and the forest elf princess. This allowed them to only see each other, but not hear anything, and not know what the other said.

As the soundproof barrier was set up, several moon elf princesses looked extremely frightened, and the snow-white phantom trembled more violently because of the deepening fear. They clearly saw that a gentleman prince had walked towards them, and his meaningful eyes were locked on them without any concealment.

Chapter 120: The Rapid Fall of the Fourth Princess of Yueling

The Emerald Continent in the southeast is also known as the Elf Continent. The main alien races living here are the elves, followed by the goblins, dwarves and treemen. The two largest and most dominant branches of the elves are the moon elves and the forest elves.

The number of people in these two elf tribes accounted for more than half of the total population of the elves, at least more than 60%. Therefore, they have always been in a dominant position in the elves and have a great say in the development direction of the elves. The most fundamental difference between the moon elves and the forest elves lies in their different beliefs.

The Moon Elves believe in the Moon Goddess and are blessed by her. The Forest Elves believe in the Earth Goddess and are protected and blessed by her. The most obvious difference between the two is their hair color. The Forest Elves have dark brown hair, close to the color of a tree trunk, while the Moon Elves have pure golden hair, close to the color of the moon.

The Moon Goddess and the Earth Goddess only belong to the same clan of gods in a general sense, but they belong to different factions. The Moon Goddess belongs to the Sky God system, and is an ally of the Atmospheric God system of Super Hurricane Queen Anna and Princess Vichy, who were subdued by Osta.

The Earth Goddess belongs to the Earth God system, and her relationship with the Moon Goddess is not harmonious. There have always been serious disagreements between the Earth God system and the Sky God system, and they often fight when fighting for control of neutral areas.

Influenced by their respective beliefs in gods, the Moon Elves and the Forest Elves did not directly tear each other apart and openly confront each other like the goddess they worshipped. However, they were at odds on the surface, and there was a competition in secret.

Affected by the competition between the two major elven tribes, most of the other branches of the elven race, except for a few special branches, were forced to take sides in the confrontation between the moon elves and the forest elves. Only a few could remain neutral. When the Black Beast Mercenaries landed on the Jade Continent, both the moon elves and the forest elves discovered this group of invaders.

In order to grab the credit and brag that they were the elites of their tribe who defeated the evil invaders, they all rushed to attack the warships of the Black Beast Mercenaries. In the end, they all fell into the hands of "Black Rose" Avril, which had to be said to be a kind of irony.

The previous victory was too easy, which led to his carelessness and underestimated the enemy, and at the last critical moment, he was killed by Avril. She easily reversed the situation with a carefully laid trap.

In the luxurious lord's mansion on the seaside of St. Louis, an important port city along the coast of the Bloomfield region, in the lord's exclusive bedroom on the upper floor of the villa, as the soundproof barrier was set up, Lord Osta was "happily" chatting with several moon elf princesses.

The forest elf princesses on the other side had obvious uneasiness in their eyes. Under the influence of the soundproof barrier, they could only see the general situation over there, and did not know the specific content of the conversation between the man and the moon elf princesses. If the other party wanted to betray them, they would be completely defenseless.

The long-term secret confrontation between the moon elves and the forest elves directly led to the mutual distrust and lack of tacit understanding between the two sides, from the royal family to ordinary tribal members. This gave Osta an opportunity to take advantage of. If they united, it would be really difficult to deal with this gentleman prince.

Although the identity of the "Black Rose" Avril as an elf has been confirmed, and the pointed ears that are unique to the elves are generally difficult for other races to imitate. However, the moon elf princesses do not know Avril's origins. Therefore, they did not pay much attention to Avril's role as an intermediate translator, and focused their attention on Osta. After all, that man is now the master of everything about them and the master of their future destiny.

"Aosta... Your Highness Aosta, you are a reasonable person, can you please let us go? We will go back and tell the Queen..."

"Your Highness Aosta, our queen is with you..."

"Okay, Elu, Aisi, you two little girls, be quiet for a while, stay quiet, and don't interrupt the conversation between adults."

"Your Highness Aosta, we are not hungry..."

"Be obedient and open your mouth. I like obedient and sensible little babies. Bad kids need a little punishment, such as spanking..."

"Hit... Your Highness Aosta, don't... don't do this, we will obey you."

On the big bed covered with soft pink sheets, the props that restricted the moon elf princesses' ability to speak were temporarily untied, and they were finally able to speak. It was just that the other restraining props on their bodies were not loosened for the time being. A certain gentleman prince had other purposes and deliberately did not untie them.

Osta was very cunning, holding Elu and Aisi's slender waists respectively, and controlling the two tender and seductive elves to his side. When they wanted to beg for mercy, Osta took the fruit or juice from the maid Chris beside him and force-fed the two little cuties.

The silver plate in Chris's hand was filled with all kinds of delicious fresh fruits and juices, so that Osta could take them at any time. The elves were basically vegetarians, except for a few special branches, most of them did not eat meat.

Therefore, Osta asked the head maid to prepare only fruits and juice, and nothing else. This gentleman prince was quite principled, and he did not force-feed the moon elf princesses to change their usual eating habits.

Elu and Aisi were simply unable to resist the gentleness of a certain gentleman. After being fed several times in a row, they shut up obediently and snuggled up to someone on both sides with a timid and shy expression. Those who didn't know would think that they were completely submissive to someone. Facing Osta's threat of spanking, Elu and Aisi were too scared to resist. It would be too embarrassing to be spanked by a certain gentleman in front of their sister.

Ashe and Ella, who were kneeling in front of Osta, looked at Osta anxiously. Their sister was controlled by the other party, so they did not dare to act rashly. Behind them, the head maid Sophia and Yulia were watching secretly.

It was almost impossible to do anything bad to Lord Aosta in front of the two head maids. Fortunately, Aosta was still wearing a black suit and hadn't untied his belt. Maybe there was still a chance for things to turn around.

"Your Highness Aosta, please respect yourself and don't bully my sister!"

"Ashe, how can this be called bullying? Can't you see they are starving? It's not too much to feed them. As their elder sister, you should understand. If you don't believe me, look at their expressions. Do they feel wronged at all?"

"This...this is..."

Princess Ashe was speechless for a moment in the face of Osta's shamelessness. This elven swordsman was simple-minded and was no match for the cunning gentleman in front of him. Osta was right. At this time, Aisi and Ailu, the two loli elves, really had a shy and somewhat enjoyable expression on their faces. It was indeed hard to tell that they had been wronged or bullied.

"Well, if you're worried, try it yourself and you'll know. It's delicious."

"Wait, I can do it myself...there's no need to trouble Your Highness Aosta to do it yourself..."

"Ashe, if you don't cooperate, I'll have to take these two little girls to another place to pamper them."

"Your Highness Aosta, don't be like this... They are still children, I will just listen to them. If you have any problems, come to me..."

In many cases, hesitation will lead to defeat. The situation now is the same. While Ashe was hesitant, Osta took the opportunity to hand over the delicious fruit to Ashe. At the same time, he used his two sisters as bargaining chips to threaten Ashe. If Ashe did not compromise, a gentleman prince would take Elu and Aisi away and let the two cute loli elves experience the adult world in advance.

When Ashe wanted to retreat, the maid Yuliya behind her showed an evil smile on her face, with a playful look in her eyes. Yuliya stretched out her hand and gently pressed forward to stop Ashe from retreating. Ashe could not retreat, she could only watch the delicious fruit being delivered to her mouth. After a short round of thinking, she compromised, opened her mouth, and bit the delicious fruit.

The "Black Rose" Avril had deliberately starved these elf princesses for a day, without a drop of water. These moon elf princesses were already starving, and if it wasn't for the way they were fed by Osta being so shameful, they would have probably compromised long ago.

Now, facing the domineering and overbearing attitude of a certain gentleman prince, except for Ella who was a little calmer, the other three moon elf princesses all accepted their fate and surrendered one after another. When it comes to feeding, you may feel ashamed the first two times, but not so much the later. The shame will become smaller as time goes by and the number of people increases, and you will be more relaxed the later.

The reluctance in Ashe's eyes quickly dissipated, and her attention was attracted by the delicious fruits and juice. She didn't seem to realize that her current posture was softer and more attractive than the two loli sisters, Elu and Aisi. Elu and Aisi looked at Ashe with incredible expressions and curiosity in their eyes, wondering how the usually strong and heroic sister became more clingy than herself.

Osta chose some banana-like fruit to feed Ashe. Ashe was unaware of the gentleman prince's evil thoughts and tasted it directly. It looked as if what he was nibbling and sucking was not fruit, but some other indescribable evil thing.

When Ashe noticed the strange looks from her two sisters, it was too late to realize that something was wrong. She was very close to Osta now, as if she was about to lie in his arms and act like a spoiled child. Now she couldn't change it even if she wanted to.

Ashe simply stopped struggling and fell into Osta's arms, continuing to be fed by him. Although this posture was inexplicably shameful, there was a feeling of being addicted. It was no wonder that "Black Rose" Avril had deliberately starved them for a day, and now the effect was obvious. Ashe's size was much larger than that of Elu and Ais. Through the clothes, Osta could feel the amazing elasticity coming from in front of him.

"Ella, you must be hungry too. Do you want to taste it?"

"Wait a minute, Your Highness Aosta, please give me a clear answer, can you let us go?"

Princess Ella was almost fooled by the temptation of delicious food. The delicious fruit that Osta handed over was almost at her mouth. Ella bit her lips to resist the hunger, and she knew she couldn't let go now.

If she tasted it, she might end up like Ashe before. The ending was too obvious. This princess was an elf archer by profession. She was relatively calm due to her professional habits. The vigilant look in her lavender eyes never disappeared.

Seeing that the other party was not taking the bait, Osta did not continue, but took back the delicious fruit and fed it to Princess Ashe in front of him. This kind of thing cannot be rushed, and taking it slowly and step by step is the best way. Anyway, the other three sisters have fallen, and no matter how hard Ella holds on, she can't hold on for long. The other party has three hostages in their hands, and she can't just sit back and watch the sisters fall.

"Ella, you seem to have misunderstood something. It's okay to let you go. I've said before that as long as you can pay off the debt of 2 billion browns (200,000 gold coins), I will send you away immediately."

"This...this is too much, we don't have that much money!"

"Then you can work as a maid here to pay off your debt! That time is not that long for you elves."

Osta had a nonchalant expression on his face, which made Princess Ella speechless. If she really wanted to work for this lord, the annual salary of a maid in the lord's mansion would be at most 500,000 browns (50 gold coins), and she would have to pay 2 billion browns (200,000 gold coins) for the redemption fee, which would require working for at least 4,000 years.

For the elves, who have a long lifespan, four thousand years is still a long way to go, but it is not cost-effective. The biggest problem is whether this gentleman lord in front of him, who seems to be treacherous and far more treacherous than most professional profiteers, will change his mind halfway.

If Osta suddenly charged interest, then the debt would be a bottomless pit, the kind that you would never be able to pay off in your lifetime, and you would be doomed to be tied here. Osta had no intention of letting him go easily, and deliberately proposed such conditions for release that were difficult for the other party to meet.

"Your Highness Osta, can you let us contact the Elf Queen? She should be able to..."

"Ella, forget about it. What if your queen brings trouble to my old man and it escalates into a continental dispute? If she puts pressure on me, I won't get a penny back. Are you guys trying to default on your debt?"

"No, no, Your Highness Aosta, we just...just...don't get me wrong, we will pay for the ransom."

"Then just focus on your work and don't think about other things. After all this talk, you must be thirsty! You're welcome. Here's some fresh juice."

"Your Highness Aosta, I...we will work to pay off the debt, wait...wait..."

"Be obedient, Ella. Your three sisters have no objections. Do you want to leave by yourself and leave them here with me?"

Under Osta's deception, Princess Ella was unable to argue with the extreme heresy of the gentleman lord and was diverted from the topic. Osta took the opportunity to pass the juice to Ella, and Sophia, the head maid behind Ella, reached out and gently pushed, and Princess Ella touched the edge of the glass.

The delicious juice moistened her dry lips. Ella finally lost her temper and held on to her last bit of strength. As the juice continued to flow, she could no longer refuse the delicious fruit. Osta took advantage of the victory and hugged Ella into his arms, standing in front of her, close to Ashe.

Ella's size is not big, only about B, one in each hand, the type that can be fully mastered. Among the four moon elf princesses, only Ashe has a relatively rich size, above C, the others are not at this level, and are the type that can be expected in the future. Osta didn't care, he was a jack of all trades, it didn't matter if it was a little small, at most he could help later, and maybe it would get bigger if he rubbed it a few more times.

Osta looked at the moon elf princesses in front of him who were indulging in delicious food, and couldn't help laughing in his heart. On the surface, he tried his best to restrain himself and try not to show the treacherous smile after the conspiracy succeeded, which would be too dramatic.

If you really want to calculate, "Black Rose" Avril has accepted Osta's employment, so the so-called redemption fee has not been paid at all. There is no need to repay it, so there is no debt problem.

These moon elf princesses had no idea about the employment relationship between Osta and Avril beforehand, and when they found out the truth later, it was too late. By then, they had been on the pirate ship for a long time, and it was a habit. They wanted to get out of it, and they couldn't even jump off the ship.

"Ella, if you maids perform well, your debt will be forgiven. Also, if you can persuade your companions on the Paradise, I will spend some money to hire them as maids."

"How is it? This is better than being sold to other human nobles! The maids I hire here will not do anything strange."

"Your Highness Aosta, thank you for your help. We will work hard."

"Your Highness Aosta, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before."

After Osta's trick, the moon elf princesses were fooled by the trickster's sweet words and believed the gentleman's lies. While they were grateful, they probably ignored that they were now completely naked in front of Osta, and all their secrets were exposed. They were seen naked by him without realizing it.

The forest princesses on the other side of the soundproof barrier not far away were the most nervous. They could not hear the conversation, but saw that with just a few words from Osta, the moon elf princesses in front of them instantly became obedient and extremely well-behaved.

If you don't know the details, you might think that a gentleman knows some kind of sorcery like hypnosis and mind control magic. I thought the moon elf princesses could hold out for the whole night, but they all surrendered before midnight. It looks like their turn is not far away.

Chapter 121: The Forest Spirit with No Way to Retreat

Lord Osta felt that he was getting further and further on the road to becoming a fraudster. This gentleman prince easily won over those seemingly noble moon elf princesses with almost no effort, and tricked them into becoming his exclusive maids. The Jade (Elf) Continent has always been simple and honest. Most of the elves are simple-minded and can be easily fooled.

If it weren't for the natural environmental isolation barrier of the ocean, and the nominal alliance between the human race and the elves that had been maintained for many years, the Jade Continent might have long been the first alien continent for the human race to expand its sphere of influence and seize territory.

The night in the port city of St. Louis was particularly quiet. This important town located in the coastal area of ​​Bloomfield Territory was gradually becoming the leading commercial port on the west coast of the Central Continent. The neighboring Mager Port had the opportunity to become the largest commercial port on the west coast of the Central Continent, and its geographical location was equally advantageous.

Unfortunately, the lord of that place, Osla (the fifth prince), was too unkind and unmanly, imposing heavy taxes on merchant ships and cargo ships that wanted to arrive at the port. The extremely high commercial taxes and tariffs directly led to foreign trade merchants turning to the Port of St. Louis, which almost did not require tariffs and commercial taxes, in order to save costs, which directly benefited Aosta.

A large part of the reason why Osta's territory, Bloomfield, was able to develop was due to the indirect assistance of the neighboring territory, all thanks to the support of peers. In some ways, Osta still has to thank the neighboring brothers for their reverse help.

It was late at night, and it was quiet. However, the Port of St. Louis was not really asleep. In addition to the Bloom Vault, which was open all day, the town's port area was also very lively. Many dark merchants' cargo ships and merchant ships, due to their original professional habits, liked to dock late at night. The docks at night were not much less busy than during the day.

Deep inside the lord's mansion, in the lord's exclusive bedroom in this luxurious villa, Osta had reached a consensus with the moon elf princesses. After promising to help them rescue all their people, in fact, after buying them and hiring them as exclusive maids in the lord's mansion, these beautiful moon elf princesses basically no longer resisted Osta's pampering.

These moon elf princesses, who were originally "Black Rose" Avril, had deliberately been hungry for a whole day. They no longer cared about their ladylike image and princess dignity at this moment, and allowed the lord to feed them at will. A certain gentleman prince still had some moral bottom line and did not take the opportunity to secretly add anything strange to the food, fruits and juices he fed them.

"Your Highness Aosta, can you please let us go? We will be obedient and will never do anything that is detrimental to you."

"Your Highness Aosta, we can swear to you! It's not good to be tied up all the time."

"Not for now! Ashe, if I let you go now, the misunderstandings over there might deepen."

"Ella, your job now is to accept care obediently."

Osta directly declined the request of the moon elf princesses. Several princesses of the forest elves were still watching, separated from the big bed by a soundproof barrier. Although they could not hear the conversation here, they could see every move here. If the moon elf princesses were untied now, it would cause all kinds of misunderstandings and suspicions from the forest elf princesses over there.

The two lolita girls, Ai Si and Ai Lu, were leaning on Osta's left and right, looking very cute. Osta put his arms around their slender waists, restricting their mobility. The two girls, Ai Xi and Ai La, were in front of Osta, but they were already in front of him, with their body weight obviously leaning forward. Fortunately, Osta was wearing decent clothes, otherwise, the visual effect of the scene would be quite bad and evil.

"Okay, I'll go talk to them about what to do next. They must be getting impatient, so go relax first!"

"Your Highness Osta, please... don't be partial. What the Forest Elf Princess can do, our Moon Elf Princess can do as well!"

After the embarrassing and ambiguous feeding game, Osta arranged for someone to take the moon elf princesses to wash up. Aisi and the others blushed, and before being taken away, they did not forget to act coquettishly and make demands to Osta. However, this condition made Osta laugh and cry. They were obviously in trouble together, but they still did not forget to compete with the forest elf princesses.

"Goneias, please help me."

"No problem, Your Highness Aosta, leave these newcomers to me! I promise they will become clean and fair."

The maid that Osta summoned to help was the white witch Gonias. Gonias was wearing a blue and white Gothic maid outfit, followed by several well-trained beautiful maids. Several moon elf princesses were taken to the bathroom to relax. This bathroom was a matching combination of the bedroom. The evil design style of the bathroom was very suitable for the needs of gentlemen. The bathroom was separated from the bedroom by only a transparent glass wall. The scenery in the bathroom was unobstructed, which was a dynamic beauty for the owner of the bedroom to enjoy at will.

Ella, Aisi, Ailu and Aixi, the moon elf princesses, soon found themselves being tricked by a gentleman lord. However, they could not resist, and since they had been seen naked before, they were not so repulsive. Osta looked over and could enjoy the beautiful scenery on the other side of the glass wall. Four graceful snow-white phantoms twisted on the other side of the glass wall, as if they were dancing a seductive dance.

The maids who were responsible for bathing the moon elf princesses were very professional. They worked in groups of two or three to help with washing and massaging. If it weren't for the soundproofing effect of the glass wall of the bathroom, Osta would have heard some strange and wonderful sounds. Anyway, he looked through the glass wall and could see the blushing faces of the moon elf princesses and the beautiful expressions on their pretty faces, as if they were at the peak of their powers.

After all the moon elf princesses entered the bathroom, Osta asked the head maid Sophia to remove the soundproof barrier that had been set up in the middle. The remaining four forest elf princesses looked at Osta with eyes full of vigilance and fear. The moon elf princesses next door were so quickly deceived, and they looked like they were ready to take a bath and sleep with him, which made them have to be more wary of Osta.

While the maids were helping to clean, they took out honey and prepared to apply it all over the moon elf princesses' bodies, covering every inch of their skin. This process was indeed for preparing for the night. When Osta entrusted Gonias, he did not explain it clearly, so the other party misunderstood and thought that his lord wanted to favor the moon elf princesses, so he arranged this whole body honey application process, which was a special service tailored for the gentleman prince.

The combination of the Forest Elf Princess is a lolita and three queens, which is very different from the combination of the Moon Elf Princess. The distribution of the girls' attributes is seriously unbalanced. This time, it was also introduced by the middleman translator Avril "Black Rose" to recognize the people.

The forest elf princess sitting on the far left against the wall in front of Osta is Lumina. Lumina is the only loli among these forest elf princesses. She looks quite special. She is about 147CM tall and looks very petite and cute.

Lumina had dark brown hair, a double ponytail hairstyle that was exclusive to lolita girls. Her beautiful violet eyes revealed a look of anxiety and fear. Her cute and tender face was filled with fear, which could not be concealed, and was even blushed with shyness.

Princess Lumina is a priest, and her healing ability is more comprehensive than that of Princess Ais, a priest. As a priest, Princess Lumina's breasts seem to be not high enough, and her breasts are barely A size, which is basically a flat-chested loli. Osta feels that she is a bit derelict in her duty as a nanny, at least in terms of her figure.

Lumina was kneeling sideways, with black metal cuffs on her ankles and her hands behind her back, tied with hemp ropes. Her snow-white legs were just blocking the most private area. After being sealed with a horizontal white cloth to prevent her from speaking, Lumina was similar to the two moon elf princesses Elu and Aisi who were also lolita. The first impression she gave was that she was soft and cute, easy to push over, and looked like she was easy to bully.

To the left of Lumina, the nearest forest elf princess is Lumia, whose occupation is the relatively rare Elf Dragon Knight. Among the elf princesses captured in this wave, Lumia has the highest occupation level.

Lumia could have escaped with the help of the elf dragon, but she hesitated when it came to rescuing her other companions, and her hesitation directly led to her defeat. As a result, she was ambushed by the "Black Rose" Marceline, and she was the last elf princess to be captured.

Rumia is tall, about 178cm tall, the tallest among these elf princesses, with a standard queen figure and a strong queen aura. Rumia has dark brown shoulder-length hair, which is almost as long as her upper body, extending down along her smooth back, and a white headband is worn on the back of her head.

Lumia's expression was one of undisguised arrogance, with beautiful features and a cold face. Her red eyes looked at Osta as if he were an enemy. After all, this forest elf princess was a dragon knight by profession, and under the influence of this special profession, it was impossible for her to not have a bit of arrogance.

Osta felt that Lumya was much more stubborn than Ashe, the elven swordsman. The first impression she gave was that she was difficult to deal with. There was no blush on her face. Even when she was completely naked and exposed to Osta in her original posture, Lumya did not show any shyness. Of course, these problems were not a problem for a certain senior gentleman lord. There was no one he could not handle.

Osta's focus was not on Lumya's face, and he didn't meet her eyes. This made Lumya quite entangled. She was ready to glare at him fiercely, but who knew that the man opposite chose to ignore him. After following Osta's line of sight and seeing the other party's real focus, Lumya became even more depressed. The guy did not hide his gentlemanly gaze at all, and he didn't even act or perform a little.

Osta was focusing on Lumina's upper body, her breasts, which were majestic in height and above D size. They were too big and easily attracted attention. They swayed with her breathing.
