"There is still a difference, right? At least we are in the same pool, right?"

"..." Upon hearing this, Litt sighed helplessly, then leaned closer to Orson.

However, after Litt moved for several seconds, the distance between him and Orson did not change.

The reason was that while Litt was moving closer to Orson, Orson was also moving towards the other side.

As a result, the distance between the two people remained in a strange state of "relative stillness".

Litt squinted his eyes and saw Orson across from him through the thick fog.

"Orson, are you moving?"

"Ah, yes. I always feel uncomfortable sitting in those places. I guess you feel the same way, Litt?" Orson made an excuse to try to fool him.

"Really?" Upon hearing that, Li Te lowered his body and stopped moving.

Orson breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Litt stopped moving.

Finally I can take a bath in peace, he thought.

And Litt crouched down like a kitten aiming at its prey, and then pounced directly at Orson.

"Hey!"

Having said that, Litt directly crossed half of the hot spring pool and rushed in front of Orson.

Orson looked at the shadow rushing towards him in the sky, stunned for a moment, and was about to move away, but when he thought that Litt might hit the wall after moving away, he did not move away.

Then, Litt threw himself directly into Orson's arms.

"Hey!" Litt said this, looking at Orson in front of him with a smile that showed his success. "You can't run away now, right?"

"…Leet, stop it."

"What's wrong? Isn't it good for us to be closer and chat?"

"That's good, but..." Orson said this and turned his head away.

"Leet, your bath towel..."

Litt was stunned for a moment when he heard what Orson said.

Then she reacted.

It seemed that when I hugged Orson now, what I felt was not the feeling of the bath towel, but the touch of skin against skin.

When she turned around, she saw the bath towel she was wrapped in floating on the water not far behind her.

So... now I am appearing in front of Orson naked?

"So..." Orson said this, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Why don't you put on the towel quickly?"

Upon hearing this, Litt was about to get up from Orson, but when he thought that he might be seen naked by Orson after he got up, he quickly shrank back and hugged Orson even tighter.

To the extent that Orson could even feel some strange touches beyond his skin.

I have to say that this little girl has changed a lot since she entered the Duke's Mansion. With better nutrition, she has become so healthy in less than a year.

If he had been spoiled since childhood, there’s no telling how big the situation would have been in the end.

"No... we'll be seen." Leeteuk said this as his voice became smaller and smaller.

But Orson still caught it keenly. Then he sighed, stood up and picked up Litt's bath towel, and then threw it directly in front of Litt.

"Here, put it on. Be more careful next time. Don't be so jumpy. It's scary."

When Lit heard what Orson said, she pouted, but she was indeed wrong this time, so she could only nod silently.

Just when she thought Orson was going to leave again, Orson turned back and took the initiative to sit not far from Litt.

“This distance should be fine, right?”

"Yeah!" Seeing this, Litt nodded happily.

The awkwardness between the two of them just now was also wiped out.

"Hey, Orson, do you still treat me as your sister now?"

Lit leaned against the edge of the pool, tilted his head and looked at Orson beside him and asked.

"Yeah." Orson nodded.

"Even if we were not related by blood in the beginning, and are not related in name only now, do you still regard me as your sister?"

"Ah."

"Can't you just treat me as a girl? You and I are the same age."

Leeteuk said this with a frustrated tone.

Orson smiled and shook his head but said nothing.

Seeing this, Lit also moved to the side, then hugged Orson's arm and got close to him.

"Then, just treat me normally as a sister who likes her brother."

Chapter 33: Let’s go on together, okay?

Coming out of the hot spring, Orson stood in front of Litt, picked up a dry towel and wiped his hair, then picked up another one and handed it to Litt who was following behind him.

"Dry your hair. You didn't put your hair up when you were in the hot spring just now, did you? It's all wet."

"Hehe, just think of it as washing your hair." Lit took the towel with a smile, tied the towel around his body, and made sure it would not fall off before starting to wipe his hair.

"Remember to have a good rest today, we will be on our way back tomorrow."

"Let's go back...the semester should be over, right?" Litt suddenly said.

"Well, this semester is over and there will be about two months of vacation. You can rest at home."

"Then... Orson, will you return to Antica?"

When Orson heard Litt ask this, he was stunned for a moment.

"After all, you are the Duke of Naples now, and you are no longer from the same family. If you live in Antica, will others criticize you..."

"If our two families get too close, plus Senior Sister Olivia's family, they will be able to threaten the rule of the royal family, right?"

“Will the royal family just let it go?”

"No." Orson shook his head. "But who says that our good relationship must be detrimental to the royal family? We can also build a good relationship with the royal family."

"So... Orson, what do you mean?"

"Antica is under the rule of my father, and Napoli also has Celinina, so I plan to stay in Saint Laurent City during the summer vacation."

"If you want to stay, Li Te, you can stay here. This way, no one will gossip about you."

"Really?"

"Well, but if you're worried about Antica's affairs, you can always go back."

Hearing Orson say this, Litt was immediately very happy.

Although everyone was blessing Orson after the separation, it also meant that he had to keep his distance from the Stranik family.

When Lit was worrying about this matter, Orson gave a reasonable solution, allowing her to continue to stay with him under a reasonable name.

This couldn't be better.

Given his dependence on Orson, if the two were separated, Litt would probably sneak from Antica to Naples to play with Orson in less than a month.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Orson changed into his pajamas and prepared to walk out of the locker room.

"Oh, yeah." Upon hearing that, Lit nodded and opened his own locker.

Walking out of the hot spring room, Orson did not feel the sudden cold because the whole room was heated. On the contrary, he could not adapt to the high temperature and felt a little depressed.

After returning to the room, he deliberately opened the window for a few seconds, feeling the cold wind from outside rushing in, which made him feel a lot more relaxed.

Perhaps people are just so complicated. On the one hand, they hate the bone-chilling cold, but on the other hand, they need some coolness to fall asleep peacefully in a warm environment.

Orson blew some fresh air, shivered when he woke up, then covered himself with the quilt, blew out the bedside lamp, and closed his eyes.

A few minutes later, Orson's door was quietly opened.

"I knew you were coming, so I left the door open for you." Orson closed his eyes, as if he already knew who was coming.

"Very smart." Olivia came to Orson with a smile.

"I was originally planning to tell you after I got back, but since the conditions are ready here, I'll just tell you right now."

"Go ahead." Orson sat up from the bed and then turned on the lamp next to him again.

The light illuminated the faces of the two people. Olivia in front of them reached out her hand to her chest and then took out a pendant.

"Does this pendant look familiar?"

Orson shook his head.

"It happened to Master Ostia, and now it's happened to me."

"So... this is her 'relic'?"

"Pfft, don't make him sound so hopeless. What if he can finally be reborn with the help of this pendant?"

"Aren't you afraid that Hela will find you through this pendant?" Orson said with a smile.

“If Hela can come out, throwing away the pendant will be useless.” Olivia said, spreading her hands.

"But I'm not here to talk about this matter." Olivia said this, put the pendant back on her chest, and then looked at Orson.

"Orson, after Master Ostia's possession ended, a memory remained in my brain. Master Ostia told me that it was your 'truth'."

Hearing this, Orson's pupils shrank slightly.

"So, what did you know?"

"Your life experience and the inhuman bloodline in you." Olivia said it directly.

Seeing that she already knew all this, Orson sighed helplessly and glanced to the side.

"Now that you know my identity, you should understand that humans and demons are enemies. My bloodline is destined to be condemned by thousands of people once it is made public, no matter how many contributions I have made."

"I know."

"So, Olivia, it's not too late for you to go back and break off your engagement with me. I don't want you to be ruined along with me then."

Unexpectedly, when Olivia heard Orson say this, she put her hands on both sides of Orson's body, leaned forward, and got closer to Orson.

"Orson, tell me, the reason I like you is because of your bloodline? Aren't you being too derogatory to me?"

"No, of course I know what kind of person you are." Orson shook his head, looking painful. "But things have changed. This thing in my body is like a time bomb. I'm afraid that one day I won't be able to control myself."

"I'm afraid... by then, it won't just be me who gets hurt."

"Then the Orson I know will be gone." Olivia said. "Only then will I dislike you."

"And before that, my feelings for you remain the same from beginning to end."

"I want to be your wife, spend the rest of my life with you, travel to many places, and see many sights."

"No matter your identity or bloodline, if you have a problem, I will help you. If we work together, we can definitely solve the problem in your body."

"So, Orson, trust me and let's go along, okay?"

Orson didn't say anything, but proved it with practical actions.

He hugged Olivia tightly, like a drowning man finding a piece of driftwood on the water.

Before this, he had always faced everything and borne all the pressure alone. Even though Therese and Dorothy had wanted to help Orson, he still did not tell them the whole story.

And now, Olivia is willing to help Orson share the pressure, which really makes him feel a lot more relaxed.

"I believe you." Orson said slowly.

"Yeah." Olivia hugged Orson with her backhand and patted his back gently.

Chapter 34: After All, It’s a Covenant with God

Litt dried her hair and returned to her room. While she was thinking about where to go with Orson every day in Saint Laurent City, Orson was already intoxicated by the gentleness upstairs.
