Although Madeleine was weak and powerless, she was a warrior picked from thousands after all, and her basic skills were still there. She reached out for the potion and grabbed it in her hand - but at this moment, a white glove caught the bottle faster than her, and Madeleine only grabbed the white glove.

What followed was the sound of cloth being torn - not from Madeleine, but from the person in front of her.

Madeleine only felt that she was holding a soft and boneless hand. Even through the thick white gloves, Madeleine could still feel the outline of Elsa's slender knuckles and the touch of her soft skin.

That's Elsa's hand.

Madeleine was slightly stunned, raised her head, and then met Elsa's clear yet deep eyes at a close distance.

They both maintained a leaning posture, which made their cheeks so close that they were almost touching. Strange... Was Elsa standing this close just now?

It was so close that she could clearly see the teardrop mole at the corner of Elsa's eye. The candlelight was dancing, and her curled eyelashes were hooked in a warm arc of light, reflecting colorful gold in her eyes. A light, soft, and pleasant scent, like a touch of sea breeze, swept towards Madeleine as her golden hair swayed.

But facing Madeleine, Elsa slowly turned her gaze away. She raised her hand, and covered her chest with her slender fingers one by one. Madeleine saw a blush on Elsa's cheeks——

"This dress...it really doesn't fit me well..."

Elsa smiled a little embarrassedly, and at this time, Madeleine's eyes moved away from Elsa's face. She finally noticed that there was a hole in Elsa's chest, from the chest to the collar. Although there was lining inside, such a scene was still embarrassing enough.

"Sorry... I didn't hold it firmly..."

Madeleine quickly let go of her hand and stood up.

It's really embarrassing.

However, when Madeleine's gaze fell, she was met with Elsa's beautiful hair. The slightly curled arc at the end of the hair made it look particularly layered. As Elsa slowly stood up, her breathtaking white skin came into view. Because Madeleine was standing and Elsa was leaning over, this angle just allowed Madeleine to see into Elsa's neck - Elsa's collar was torn, but it just made the skin under her neck appear faintly visible in Madeleine's sight.

At this moment, Madeleine felt as if something had poked her heart hard.

……

------------

454. This is not what I imagined (4K8)

Madeleine suddenly sensed "something" from Elsa. It was something that Madeleine was very familiar with, yet also felt very strange.

"Expectation" - such a feeling.

Madeleine suddenly understood why she felt a long-lost sense of relaxation with Elsa - everyone had expectations of Madeleine with different purposes and starting points, even Madeleine herself was the same, and Madeleine herself had become accustomed to that kind of life. She was so keen on "expectations" that she could easily see that kind of brilliance in a person's eyes.

But Elsa was different. She didn't ask for anything from her or expect anything from her, nor did she care about her setbacks. Because Elsa always looked at her with a calm gaze, she felt a sense of relaxation from Elsa that she had never felt before.

But now it’s different, Elsa also shows “expectation”.

The only difference was that Elsa's expectation was so gentle and soft that Madeleine didn't feel any oppression, it just made her cheeks hot and her heartbeat quicken.

She didn't quite understand the feeling.

Is it because of the baby in my belly?

Yes, this must be the reason, because Elsa could not ignore the child, even though the child came inexplicably, so that kind of gaze projected on herself made her feel a different illusion.

And it must be for this reason that Madeleine has never known what attitude to adopt towards Elsa, so she has some inexplicable feelings towards Elsa, and feels shy because of getting closer to Elsa.

It must be like this.

Madeleine found a seemingly reasonable excuse for herself.

But Madeleine didn't know that Elsa was staring at her the whole time.

Elsa saw her momentary daze and the subsequent confusion, her evasive gaze, her hands that didn't know where to put them, her rapid heartbeat, her heavy breathing, her pitiful appearance with her neck red as if she was drunk. Her usual heroic figure was no longer there. The life in the army, getting along with her comrades, obeying the Duke's arrangements to become a brave man, training herself for revenge, the familiar and serious atmosphere taught Madeleine how to be neither humble nor arrogant, how to endure and explode, and how to execute her plans carefully, but it never taught her how to face a beautiful woman who regarded her as her prey.

Madeleine couldn't help but think that the back of Elsa's hand was so white and smooth, and her delicate fingers were clutching the clothes on her chest. She must have the same skin under the semi-transparent clothes, probably as fresh and fragrant as milk.

【49】

All of this can only be seen clearly at such a close distance. What would happen if it were closer?

There must not be many people who can get along so closely with Elsa.

People say that beauty is hereditary. If Elsa had an older sister, she would probably be as beautiful as her. I wonder if the same would be true if Elsa had children?

Madeleine suddenly remembered what the Star God had said.

Fortunately, all this happened in just a few seconds, leaving no chance for Madeleine to think too much. When Elsa finally stood up and gently covered her chest, everything under her collar was also far away from Madeleine - but although it was just a brief glimpse, for a powerful person like Madeleine, it was enough for her to observe it repeatedly. In the end, she still did not see the skin under Elsa's collar, because Elsa covered it tightly, leaving Madeleine only a little room for imagination.

Daydreaming is limited, but it is also the most unconstrained.

Madeleine swallowed and lowered her head.

"Please, please let me come..."

Madeleine didn't dare to look into Elsa's deep eyes, and she stuffed the things in her hands into her space equipment one by one.

He didn't even glance at Elsa's face the entire time.

Elsa just smiled inwardly at this and glanced at the panel.

If you want to know whether a person has feelings of "admiration" for you, then you only need to give that person a little "opportunity" - whether it is a lip print left "inadvertently" on the pen cap, a handkerchief left "accidentally", or a hair tie lost "unintentionally".

Or the spring light that is revealed "without precaution".

This small mistake, which seems to be made naturally, is often not noticed. In fact, most people pay more attention to themselves rather than others.

However, in front of someone who is always staring at you and likes you, it is an "opportunity" that makes it difficult to look away - some people will pretend not to see it, but in fact she does, while some people will "cleverly" use this rare "flaw" as a chance to attack, or they will be cautious, feel guilty but can't help but quench the thirst for the deeply buried love.

There is no such thing as quenching thirst for love. Before you get it completely, any act of quenching thirst is just a temporary cover for the inflated possessiveness, like covering your eyes with your hands to temporarily ignore the approaching desire.

In fact, all of this was an ambush long ago, and it doesn't matter whether you choose to bypass it or wade through it.

Of course, this way of judging may not be accurate enough, because there will always be people who are not used to showing their thoughts on their faces. In relationships, naive and easy-to-understand people do not always dominate. Careful scrutiny and restraint are also a kind of wisdom in love.

But it is undeniable that this trick works instantly on those with little experience in love, especially those like Aisha—those who are attracted to women, and only to women.

Such people are difficult to guess. If the other party insists on concealing his or her orientation, then any plan may fail.

Because they are indeed experienced in this regard and will not easily reveal their inner feelings to others.

The key is to have experience.

Experience is a very clever and cunning rhetoric, but it is undeniable that it is important, and it is obvious that Madeleine lacks "experience" in this regard.

Madeleine was like prey without its disguise, an antelope abandoned on the plains. As a woman, she blushed and her heart raced at the mere sight of Elsa's deliberate "flaw." How was that any different from confessing something? She hadn't even had the luxury of quibbling.

Of course, "ordinary" women would not be like this.

After all, Madeleine is just a little girl. In Elsa's previous life, kids of Madeleine's age would still be in high school. How could she have experienced all this? Or rather, in Elsa's previous life, many of those young girls were more "avant-garde". In the age of information acquisition and sharing, it is hard to say who the prey will be. In comparison, Madeleine is really easy to understand.

All in all, one of the reasons why Elsa came here has almost been concluded - Madeleine may really have some inexplicable feelings for her, but this feeling is still in its infancy and very immature, and I'm afraid Madeleine herself is not aware of this.

Such feelings still need time to ferment.

Or simply add some catalyst.

Elsa did not continue the topic, but instead asked about the southern border.

"Speaking of which, what's going on in the southern border right now? The House of Representatives should have sent envoys to the Empire, right?"

Madeleine also breathed a sigh of relief.

Rather than talking about the baby in her belly all the time, Madeleine naturally prefers to talk about some more "convenient" topics.

But soon, her heartbeat rose to her throat again - because while Elsa was talking, she covered her chest with one hand and handed the medicine bottle to Madeleine with the other hand. At the same time, she naturally took a step forward, making the distance between them closer and closer, so close that even if Madeleine lowered her eyebrows, she could still see Elsa's figure clearly.

Sure enough, Madeleine's gaze unconsciously turned to Elsa, and this glance made Madeleine feel "shocked" from the bottom of her heart.

It’s really big. No, it’s not just big, but it has a beauty and impact outlined by the lines, which is full, upright and just right.

I had never realized before that Elsa had such a great figure? — In every sense of the word, full of soft femininity.

Indeed, Elsa's figure is usually not noticeable. That's because as a nun, Elsa wears loose nun clothes to make her figure less noticeable. However, at this moment, Elsa maintained the posture from squatting to standing up straight, with one hand blocking her chest, lifting and pressing up to make the curve fuller, and the other hand holding the fallen potion. Under the deliberate manipulation of the experienced Elsa, this posture allowed her arms to squeeze from both sides of the body, while her lower abdomen fell and her chest was straightened, maximizing the display of the proud size of Elsa's breasts, outlining a perfect and attractive curve through the clothes that were almost torn again.

All of this appeared right in the center of Madeleine's vision.

Madeleine suddenly felt that the reason she had never felt so embarrassed around other women was because the sense of presence of a woman brought by Elsa was too strong.

Overwhelmed by the breathtaking size, Madeleine struggled to gather her thoughts.

She quickly put the last bottle of medicine in her hand into the space equipment, which finally made her feel relieved.

"Well, when I left, the Queen had already sent an envoy to the Southern Territory... But the negotiations between the Duke and the Senate weren't going smoothly. They were both refusing to give in... So, until I left, Grey Wind Swordsman Heloise Serra was temporarily detained in Count Abru's prison in the Southern Territory. The Federation Senate was trying every possible means to negotiate, but judging by the Duke's intentions, their release was only a matter of time. As for the Queen, they've reportedly sent an inspector, but I'm not sure what will happen next."

Madeleine's words were euphemistic. After all, if the Duke insisted on going to war with the Federation, he would inevitably lose many followers—those who followed the Duke didn't follow the war, but rather followed the wealth and power. Furthermore, the Royalist faction was already preoccupied with the recent demonic incidents and the Dark Armor incident, and the Queen's faction was also eyeing them covetously. This was not a good time to go to war with the Federation.

Therefore, as long as the federation can offer the right bargaining chips, a handshake and peace will only be a matter of time.

At least on the surface.

The Federation wasn't stupid either; they undoubtedly understood the Duke's predicament. So, it was essentially a tug-of-war between the Duke and the Federation, and both sides would eventually find a balance. As for the Queen, she could simply exploit opportunities and gain some benefits. Alternatively, she could force the Duke to focus more on the Southern Territory, a viable strategy to delay the Duke.

"However, it is said that the envoys sent by the Parliament and the Empire to Levis were attacked. Levis has unilaterally declared its secession from the Southwestern Federation. The local church has also clashed with some of the suddenly appearing esoteric cultists. I'm afraid that side is the most difficult nut to crack."

It must be said that Levis is indeed very courageous for daring to be hostile to the church.

Elsa and Madeleine talked a lot again, which made Madeleine relax a lot.

【50】

Time passed little by little, and before they knew it, Madeleine had been sitting on the bed and chatting with Elsa for quite a while.

"By the way, have you reported this to the Duke? He's an insider, right?"

Aisha got to the point.

"not yet……"

"Oh? I thought you would tell him about it first."

"Not really... I'm just a little hesitant. After all, the development of things was somewhat beyond my expectations. I didn't think that this child was..."

This child is yours.

Madeleine found it difficult to utter this sentence, so she just mumbled it over.

"So I think that instead of asking Duke Ryanfort for his opinion, I should ask for your opinion..."

Perhaps it was because she had just chatted with Elsa for a long time, which made her no longer as nervous as she was at the beginning - although because she was sitting next to Elsa, she could always smell the pleasant scent wafting from Elsa's hair from time to time, which made her feel distracted.

All in all, Madeleine found herself less resistant to talking about these things with Elsa.

"I respect your opinion because you are the child's mother."

Elsa said, causing Madeleine to look at Elsa with a little surprise. She could sense Elsa's seriousness from her eyes.

Madeleine looked away.

"But this is so unfair to you..."

"Have it?"

Elsa couldn't help but smile.

She didn't know what Madeleine thought, but Elsa herself didn't feel like she was being treated "unfairly."

Maybe this is the difference in concepts.

Then Aisha continued:

"It's okay. You don't have to worry about what I think. Or rather, you don't have to worry about anyone else's thoughts, Madeleine. You're a brave warrior. There may be times in the future when you'll need to step up and make sacrifices. So, at least in this matter, you only need to consider yourself. That's not selfish. If possible, I hope you can give your own answer, rather than 'the Duke told you to do this.'"

Elsa's life in her previous life gave her different ideas from ordinary people, so Elsa's idea about this matter is also very simple - everything is based on Madeleine's own ideas.

Madeleine fell into a brief silence.

【51】

Elsa noticed that as Madeleine's favorability grew, the rate of increase seemed to be slowing down.

"It's getting late."

Elsa stood up and suddenly thought of something. She looked around and turned to Madeleine and said:

"Oh, there's one more thing I almost forgot to mention. Tricia and I are planning to let you stay in my room temporarily."

"Live in Aisha's room?"

"That way, if there are any unexpected situations, we can discover them in time."

"T-How can this be... It's causing too much trouble for Aisha..."

Madeleine swallowed and waved her hands quickly.
