As a villain, he could do whatever he wanted.

As she said this, Lia smiled and tugged at Lius's arm, forcibly pulling him over so that he lay down between her and Noelle, leaning close together and gazing intently at Lius's face.

"Brother, please speak..."

"Brother, do you really think that way about me...?"

"This one……"

The two little creatures nestled together against Lius's chest, each displaying a different expression, awaiting what Lius would do next. Lius, in turn, felt the two different sensations on his body, pondering how to respond to them...

Chapter 167 When Feelings Are Revealed (Part Two)

"Onii-sama!"

"Brother!"

The two little ones came closer and pressed against Lius's body, looking at him with bright, sparkling eyes, their eyes filled with questioning and longing. Their four arms held Lius tightly with all their might, as if they didn't want him to have any chance of escaping.

"Brother, please answer our question! Do you truly believe Noel to be your favorite 'daughter'? Is it true?"

"This one……"

Lius's heart pounded faster under Noelle's expectant gaze, his ears turned slightly red, and his throat tightened, causing him to press his hand to his chest in an attempt to calm his inner turmoil.

The two little creatures spoke with a very forceful and urgent tone, as if they would not let go easily unless Lius answered. Moreover, their eyes seemed to be burning with intense flames, which made Lius feel a burning heat in his heart as well.

"How embarrassing, I really want to ignore this problem..."

Such thoughts lingered in Lius's mind at this moment, causing him to blush slightly and purse his lips, while his desire to escape grew stronger.

However, from the moment Lia and Noelle approached him, Lius knew he had no chance of escaping and had to answer his two sisters' questions properly.

Therefore, after his initial surprise, he quickly regained his composure, swallowed somewhat awkwardly, and then, after making up his mind, slowly spoke to the two of them:

"You could say that... I do have different feelings for you two, Lia and Noelle... As for Noelle, I do have... the kind of feelings you just mentioned, which can't be replaced by you, Lia..."

"R-really? So, even if Miss Lia barges in, my place in my brother's heart won't change at all?"

Hearing Lius's words, Noelle blinked, her eyes revealing a look of surprise, sparkling with anticipation and shyness, as if waiting for the boy in front of her to give her the most precious response.

Lius nodded slightly, gazing tenderly at the silver-haired princess before him. He stroked the girl's head and spoke softly to her:

"Yes, no one can shake my feelings for Noelle. Noelle, you are unique in my heart, and that will never change. In my heart, you will always be the most special person, so..."

Lius leaned closer to Noelle, and under the gaze of the blushing, silver-haired princess, gently bent down and kissed her forehead.

"what……"

Feeling the soft, warm touch on her forehead, Noelle blinked, a look of excitement flashing in her eyes.

"Brother... Brother..."

Noelle's eyes widened slightly, her breathing became a little rapid, she put her hands down from Lius's arm and instead put her arms around Lius's shoulders, her fingers unconsciously gripping Lius's collar, pulling him closer to her, and pouting her lips to start a passionate kiss with Lius.

"Hmm... Big brother... Hmm... Noelle... is she a good child?"

With a series of stammering words coming from her tongue, Noelle stared unsteadily into Lius's eyes and asked him in a hesitant and fragmented tone.

As Lius kissed her, he nodded slightly, and amidst the soft sounds of their lips mingling, he spoke slowly to Noelle:

"Yes, in my heart, Noelle will always be a good girl... Although she may be a little 'naughty' sometimes, it is also a very cute behavior that I like very much... Noelle, to me, you are not just a little sister, but someone I want to protect for a lifetime, my most precious... 'little princess'."

"Hmm...Can Noelle...can she continue to act cute towards her brother? Just like when Noelle used to act cute towards her mother when she was little. Now...can she act like a little child in front of her brother..." Noelle continued to ask hesitantly.

"Ha... When you're alone with me, Noelle, aren't you always just a little girl? You've always been like that since you were little. Haven't you noticed these things, Noelle?"

"Ah? Is that so?"

Noelle blinked, recalling her previous interactions with Lius and the little girl she had acted in front of him. Her expression became even more shy. Lius continued to stroke her head and kiss her, then looked at the girl with affection.

"Don't be shy. I actually hope you can stay like this, Noelle. Consider it a way to relieve the pressure in your heart. Don't think that you're the only one who shows this side of yourself. Sometimes when Her Majesty the Queen is with me in private... she also shows a shy expression that is different from usual."

"Huh? Does Mother... also act cute towards you, Brother?"

With a slightly surprised expression, Noelle winked at Lius in astonishment. Feeling the certainty in Lius's gaze, she gradually regained her composure. After processing the matter internally, a eager smile returned to her face, and she spoke to Lius with shining eyes:

"Well... in that case, please take good care of me from now on, just like you would take care of Mother. Treat Noel as your most important family member, okay?"

“Of course, my dear Princess.” Lius nodded gently to Noelle and solemnly promised.

"Don't use that name anymore, really. My brother knows perfectly well that I prefer more intimate names, like calling me by my name Noelle, or... some other 'names' that would make Noelle happier."

As she spoke, with a suggestive look in her eyes, Noelle leaned close to Lius's ear and breathed out sweet and alluring scents in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"So... you understand what Noel meant, right? 'Father'."

"Gu..."

Upon hearing the girl's blush-inducing voice, Lius felt a buzzing in his mind, and his heart skipped a beat.

Although he had anticipated that Noel might use some different terms of address for him, the word "father" still sent a powerful shock through Lius, causing his body to tense up as he barely managed to suppress the surge of blood rushing to his head.

"Hehe, Big Brother's expression is so cute! It seems he's attracted to Noelle. Hehe, Noelle should call Big Brother that more often until he gets used to it!"

With a joyful smile, Noelle placed her hands on Lius's chest, appearing quite at ease, but the flush on her face revealed the shyness hidden within this silver-haired princess.

It was obvious that, despite having mustered the courage to speak earlier, Noelle was still quite shy about using that title. Therefore, she now addressed Lius as "Brother" again, partly out of habit, and partly to gradually get used to her previous shyness so that she could interact with her brother in a way that she truly preferred.

"Well... Noelle has finished telling her story to her brother. Now, could your brother also... show his feelings to Noelle? And address her by her name as well..."

"call……"

"Yes, you know what it is, right, brother? It's that title Noelle has always longed for..."

With a mischievous smile, Noelle blushed and smiled, her eyes sparkling with desire, and her lips exhaling sweet breaths that made hearts race...

Chapter 168 When Feelings Are Revealed (Part 3)

"So... it's time for you, brother, to properly define your relationship with Noelle. As I said before, now that I'm calling you 'father,' what are you going to do now? Please show Noelle what you're going to do."

Noelle moved closer to Lius, raising an eyebrow slightly, her eyes filled with suggestive intent. She also stroked Lius's shoulders repeatedly, seducing the boy in front of her with both words and actions.

"Gu..."

After swallowing hard, Lius understood the meaning behind the girl's words, which made his heart beat faster and gave him a sense of wicked excitement about what he was about to do.

"...What a naughty little wildcat! It seems I'll have to discipline her properly and make this little princess understand just how 'dangerous' her behavior is."

As he pondered this, Lius felt a growing sense of aggression in his gaze towards the boy before him.

Stroking Noelle's little head, he tightened his grip on the girl's arm, moving closer to her ear, gently licking her soft little ear as he softly spoke to the little beauty who was panting:

"My dear, Noelle is the best child...and my favorite...daughter..."

"what……"

Upon hearing this address, Noelle trembled violently, then her body gradually went limp, like a falling leaf, slipping into Lius's arms.

As if struck by lightning, Noelle let out a series of soft bubbles as she muttered the name Lius had just used to address her. Her eyes rolled slightly upwards, and her lips curled into a captivating, ecstatic expression.

"Ah... Brother's voice... Ahhh... Daughter... Daughter, my heart is about to jump out of my chest..."

"Hey, Noelle, are you alright? Wake up!"

Seeing Noelle's drooling and dazed expression, Leus frowned and shook the girl's shoulder, trying to wake her. Meanwhile, Lia, who had been watching, smiled and leaned closer, gently patting Leus's shoulder and saying to him with a smile:

"Hehehe, brother, don't worry. Her Highness the princess is fine. It's just that what you said just now was too provocative, so she couldn't handle it for a while. I believe that if she calms down here a bit, she will recover soon."

"Is...is that so? Did my words just now really hurt Noelle so much? I really didn't expect that..."

Hearing Lia's words, Lius blinked slightly, finally reacting. He nodded to his younger sister, gently put the silver-haired girl in his arms down, and let her lie down on the bedding to rest. He and Lia sat on the chairs next to them, stretched, and chatted while drinking tea.

"Ha... I never expected that my first meeting with Her Highness the Princess would be in such a strange setting. Life is truly full of surprises..."

"Yes, I was planning to introduce Queen Flora and Noelle to you, Lia, later, but I didn't expect Noelle to show such a strong personality. She locked me up here and even invited you, Lia, over. It almost turned into a disaster..."

Leus smiled somewhat helplessly, then looked at Leah again and spoke softly to her in a thoughtful tone:

"Speaking of which... Lia, I really didn't expect you to be so mature earlier. You took the initiative so quickly. Hehe, Lia, you're really 'hidden talents'."

"Hey, this..."

Upon hearing Lius recount her earlier strange behavior, Lia blinked slightly, and a shy expression appeared on her face.

"This... Brother, actually, I didn't expect to suddenly be in this state. It's like I've been possessed. It's really strange. Should I go see a doctor later...?"

"It should be fine, right? This is just you, Lia, expressing your true feelings. Isn't that a good thing? I hope you can stay strong like this, Lia, so you can avoid being bullied by others in the future."

"Being bullied... isn't it because my older brother is here with me? As long as my older brother is by my side, I can muster up my courage and not be afraid of anything, hehe, older brother, hold me tight!"

With a smile on her face, Lia snuggled into Lius's arms, rubbing against him like a kitten. She blinked slightly, then looked up at her brother with a curious gaze.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, brother, about your relationship with Queen Flora and Princess... Lia is still very curious. What exactly happened between you and them? Why did they do that kind of thing with you, brother? And why do they have such a strong affection for you? Did they go through something together before?"

"Well... it's quite complicated to explain. It's something from a long time ago. Even if I were to tell you now, it would take a long time to explain. I also have to meet with the other ministers later. So, Lia, do you want to hear this story now?"

"It's a long story... It seems that my brother and the Queen get along very well..."

Leah blinked slightly in surprise, nodded thoughtfully, and then a smile returned to her face.

"Since you say so, brother, then I won't ask any more questions for now. You can tell me when you have time. As for now... after seeing how long you and the princess have spent together, Lia also wants your love!"

As she said this, Lia gently closed her eyes, pouted her little lips, and leaned closer to Lius with anticipation. Lius smiled helplessly, hugged the girl into his arms, and kissed his white-haired stepsister tightly.

"Really, no matter how mature she is, Leah is still a child..."

With this thought in mind, Leus tightened his grip on Lia, embracing his white-haired stepsister while gazing at the silver-haired princess on the bed, completely absorbed in the intimacy. In this ambiguous atmosphere, he fully savored the extraordinary feeling of being the master of the house…

Chapter 169 When Feelings Are Revealed (Part 4)

Some time later, in the princess's room.

"Hehe, big brother, try this. It's a pastry that was just imported from the neighboring country. It's really delicious! Come on, let Noelle feed you herself. Open your mouth, ah~"

"Ah~"

Under Noelle's beaming smile, Lius gently opened his lips, letting the girl put the pastry into his mouth. After chewing a few times, he savored the flavor and nodded in satisfaction.

"Mmm, it tastes really good. Noelle, you have excellent taste. No wonder you are my favorite 'daughter'."

"Oh dear...hehe...Big brother, you're teasing Noelle again, suddenly using such a provocative term of endearment...I almost couldn't take it anymore..."

Noelle's heart pounded several times faster than usual. Blushing, she exhaled and nuzzled against Lius in a slightly coquettish manner. Meanwhile, Lia, standing nearby, brought a cup of black tea to Lius's lips and teased Noelle with a smile:

"Hehe, Your Highness, you don't need to be so dramatic. It's just a form of address. If you like, you can continue to call your brother 'Father'! You've called him that before, so why aren't you doing it now?"

"Ah... this kind of thing is addictive, but it's still too embarrassing... take it slow, take it slow, there's no need to rush. Anyway, my brother can't escape me... hehehe..."

With a blushing smile, Noelle swallowed hard, looked up at Lia, her eyes filled with a complex mix of jealousy and gratitude.

“Miss Lia, although I lost this 'duel' between us, the next time may be different. After this 'one-month period of brotherly dominance' is used up, it will be our turn to compete again. I will not lose this time! I will make sure that my brother stays in the capital for a month! He stays by my side every day!”

After Noelle recovered, she and Lia had a conversation about their time with Lius. They concluded that Lia had won and that for the next month, Lia could stay by Lius's side and seek his affection every day, while Noelle was not allowed to stop her in any way.

Of course, Noelle could also seek affection from Lius, but she would have to be ranked after Lia to determine their respective positions. It could be said that this "duel" between the two was a contest to determine who was the "official wife" by Lius's side.

This time, Lia won, and as a result, she could have more authority when she was alone with Noelle in private, and she no longer needed to consider Noelle's status as a princess. As long as Lieus supported her, Lia would always have room to fight back.

"Hmph... Next time, I will definitely not lose again. I will try to understand my brother's preferences and personality, and give him an even more comfortable experience next time I serve him!"

"Hehe, I'm also looking forward to seeing how Your Highness performs! As long as you make my brother happy, it doesn't matter if you defeat me. Lia does everything for my brother, and I hope Princess Noel will have the same mindset!"

With a magnanimous tone, Lia smiled gently at Noelle, displaying her ease as the main wife. Noelle blinked slightly, seemingly surprised by the maturity and composure shown by the girl. Her face flushed slightly, and her eyes shifted slightly to the side.

"Hmph... Hypocritical. I am not your friend. I am only forced to obey your orders after losing. Don't think that we have a good relationship, understand?"

"Alright, alright, whatever you like, Your Highness. Hehe, here, Your Highness, please try this black tea. I just brewed it myself, using several different types of tea leaves. It's very delicious!"

"Hmph... It's just a cup of black tea. I don't believe a country bumpkin like you knows anything about tea ceremony. What's there to be so concerned about with just some tea..."

As Noelle spoke, she took a sip of the black tea that Lia had brewed, savored it for a moment, and then a touched expression appeared on her face.

"It's so delicious... How can it taste so good..."

"It tastes good, doesn't it?! Hehe, I'm glad you like it, Your Highness. Come on, brother, you should drink some more too. Lia made a lot more! Let's feed you mouth-to-mouth!"

"Wait a minute, mouth to mouth..."
