After saying that, Saint Karina lay down on the bed and quickly burrowed under the covers.
He had absolutely no intention of showing Philomena his long, white legs peeking out from under his pajamas. She sighed softly, feeling that life was hard enough, and didn't want to say another word.
"But didn't the Holy Maiden say she would help me change my clothes?"
"...Sorry, I have amnesia. I probably won't say those kinds of things, so let's go to sleep."
"Pfft. So, the Holy Maiden is being shy and throwing a tantrum?"
Knowing that Saint Karina wouldn't help her change, Philomena laughed and gracefully took off her outer garment, changing into pajamas that matched Saint Karina's.
"Hey...can't you forgive me?"
She felt a soft, fragrant body slip into her bed, and then this body hugged her from behind, wrapping around her waist. A soft, doughy mass pressed tightly against her, and Saint Karina's entire body stiffened.
129. Alessia's Private Residence
She slept soundly through the night, and when she woke up the next day, Saint Karina felt very comfortable all over.
The pressure that had been building up in my heart has completely dissipated.
"This must be what it means to be healed..."
Thinking this, Saint Karina walked toward the direction of Alessia's residence in the capital.
The second condition of the deal that Brenda gave her was to resolve the Grand Duke's matter.
The weather was nice today, and there were more pedestrians on the street. After Saint Karina hailed a carriage and told the coachman the location of the mansion, she went directly there.
There were guards on duty at the entrance. After Saint Karina explained her purpose, and it seemed that Alessia had given prior notice, the guards quickly let her through.
"Miss Gin, please come with us."
The place was quiet and heavily guarded, befitting a noble family. The carriage finally stopped beside a tiny, isolated island in the artificial sea. A hundred-meter-long stone bridge spanned the reef, connecting the miniature island to the shore.
At the end of the bridge was an iron gate and a guard post. The coachman greeted the guard, and the carriage drove straight into the empty square in front of the gate, then continued uphill along the right-hand side of the road.
The island, which can be seen from a high vantage point, is not very large. The carriage took only half a minute to reach the main building, a three-story villa.
The master didn't keep her waiting long; the servant escorted her to the entrance hall and then left. Saint Karina changed out of her indoor shoes as instructed, and after only two steps, she was suddenly embraced by a little girl who appeared out of nowhere.
"Miss Gin."
A girl with a silver ponytail and pale gold eyes rushed towards him.
This person is none other than Alessia, the owner of the mansion. Because of the contract she signed, her love for Saint Karina is very strong, like a fledgling bird longing for its mother to return to the nest.
You stood me up yesterday...
"I'm sorry, I encountered some trouble yesterday. After resolving it, I was exhausted, so I'll head back to the sanctuary for now."
"Really? Sniff sniff, I think Miss Gin is full of energy, and she only smells like other stalker cats."
Like a puppy, Alessia sniffed Santa Karina's scent as her nose twitched slightly.
She smelled a pure peach scent; if it wasn't Saint Karina's, then it must be another woman's.
“Philomena is not a philanderer, she is my priestess.”
"Hmph, since Miss Gin says so, then let's just assume that's the case."
Alessia didn't believe it entirely. She was a seasoned womanizer herself, the kind who could flit from flower to flower without ever getting a single petal on her.
Now, under the influence of the contract, she has an instinctive loyalty and subservient love for Saint Karina. However, in terms of thinking, apart from being biased towards Saint Karina and considering Saint Karina's interests, she will betray her previous bonds and even blood relatives. Her basic thinking ability is still online.
For the rest of the time, Alessia took Santa Karina on a tour of the tiny island.
In reality, the place isn't very big. Apart from the parking lot at the main entrance, the residences of the security personnel and servants, and her own small villa, the only other places worth visiting are the small beach behind the house and the private garden with a swimming pool.
There is also a lighthouse not far away, on a slightly higher spot, used to warn passing cruise ships.
This place is said to have been the residence of an old nobleman. It used to be a small castle, but now it has been almost completely demolished. Only half of the tower remains in the north, which was prepared as a mooring point for fishing boats and pleasure boats during high tide.
As lunchtime approached, Alessia had her servants prepare lunch for the two of them: well-done steak, a crepe for each person, and a small dish of fruit salad. Although it wasn't much, it looked very refined, indicating that the chef was a professional.
"Miss Gin, is the taste to your liking?"
Alessia ate her steak very elegantly, cutting it into small pieces.
The drinks weren't juice or anything like that, but wine. Alessia, who went to the tavern every night to enjoy a bottle of wine, naturally wouldn't drink the juice that only children like anymore.
"It's pretty good, better than the chefs at the sanctuary."
Saint Karina wasn't lying; her elegant dining manners, coupled with her undiminished speed, proved her appreciation for the food.
Compared to the clergy, these old nobles knew how to enjoy life better.
Eating and sex are two major aspects of life. After finishing lunch, as the saying goes, when you're full and warm, you start thinking about sex. Alessia had already asked her servant to bring her a seat from her opposite seat and moved to sit next to Saint Karina.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
She forked a piece of beef from Santa Karina's plate, took a bite, and then sucked on the remaining part of the beef, as if it weren't eating anything, but rather sucking on something indescribable.
“It’s bad to waste food, Miss Gin.”
She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and then continued:
"So, I'll feed the fruit salad to Miss Gin. Don't get the wrong idea, I just don't want Miss Gin to waste food."
Alessia smiled slightly, then scooped up a bright red cherry tomato with a small spoon, still coated with white salad dressing, put it in her mouth, and offered it to Saint Karina's lips.
Uh...
An unexpectedly erotic situation...
The girl, dressed only in a dress, slowly straddled Saint Karina's lap and gently pressed the cherry tomato into Saint Karina's mouth with the tip of her tongue.
The faint scent of Alessia and the slight minty taste in her mouth, along with the sweet and sour Saint Karina juice entering her mouth, surged into her heart, causing her to feel a slight reaction in her body.
"How is it? Is Alessia delicious...?"
Alessia pulled her dress down slightly. Without the obstruction of an outer garment, and since she was going out alone, she wasn't wearing the saint's robe, but rather something more suitable for summer.
Santa Karina was wearing a short-sleeved shirt with buttons down the front, and denim shorts. She immediately felt a surprising touch.
Alessia, who looked much younger than her and was indeed younger than Saint Karina, was not wearing a pattern today consisting of three line segments that were not on the same straight line and were connected end to end.
Some moist, indescribable spot pressed directly against her thighs. Saint Karina could clearly feel two slices of bread pressing against her thighs and spreading out the jam inside, smearing the sweet jam all over her legs.
A blush-inducing, heart-pounding sensation... Several different sweet flavors mingled together, and the two intertwined little snakes began a tug-of-war, crushing the red fruit. A little juice from the cherry tomato spilled from Saint Karina's lips, but it was immediately scraped up by Alessia's little snake and sent back into her mouth.
Although I've kissed all sorts of people before, this is the first time I've been kissed like this by a girl much younger than me.
Saint Karina, who had been led around from the beginning, gradually felt a lack of oxygen to her brain, and her body became restless.
Saint Karina didn't consider herself a gentleman who could remain unmoved by a woman's advances, so she immediately took the bait.
130. The finest cuisine of the Oswald family.
Saint Karina, who originally thought the initiative should be in her hands, has already reached the entrance to the canyon.
A canyon is a valley with steep slopes and a depth greater than its width.
It typically develops in areas where tectonic uplift occurs and valley slopes are composed of hard rock. Canyons are most likely to form when the rate of ground uplift is coordinated with downcutting.
Although she looked somewhat developed, Alessia was actually still just a young girl who had just begun to develop... It was impossible for her to have a curvy figure, but her age really gave Saint Karina a lot of stimulation, and the little girl's delicate skin and flesh felt quite nice to the touch.
"Ugh, if you're touching the front, please be gentle..."
It's utterly beastly, yet I can't control myself...
"I'll go slower; after all, the canyon is a place of great natural beauty."
In the Lorian Empire, many large dams have been built over many canyons to comprehensively develop and utilize water resources.
For example, the Yamugou Canyon is 50 kilometers long. The scenic area has selected 8 kilometers of the upstream section for tourism development, of which 3 kilometers are designated as a sightseeing area with boardwalks for tourists to enjoy sightseeing, water activities, and stream tracing.
The remaining 5 kilometers are an outdoor adventure area. Both sides of the ravine are covered by virgin forests with no walking paths. The only way to walk is to wade through the water, which is dangerous and requires special equipment.
The canyon boasts pristine vegetation, rugged cliffs, cascading waterfalls, flowing springs, clear streams, and ancient vines. With a forest coverage rate exceeding 97%, it is home to precious tree species such as Davidia involucrata, Pterocarpus santalinus, Taxus chinensis, and Phoebe zhennan. The negative oxygen ion concentration reaches an exceptionally high level of 12000 per cubic meter, providing a natural oxygen bar for many rare animals to thrive, including golden monkeys, macaques, musk deer, golden pheasants, mountain catfish, bearded frogs, and tiger butterflies.
Yamugou boasts unique and beautiful scenery, characterized by its secluded, elegant, and wondrous features.
According to local legend, Yamugou was originally called "Yinlonggou" (Hidden Dragon Gully). Later, a sacred tree grew at its source, whose flowers were fragrant all year round and could be smelled from ten miles away. It was believed to ward off evil spirits and cure diseases, and that eating its fruit could help couples who had been infertile for many years to have children. This led countless local people from far and wide to worship it and name it "Yamu," which means "tree god" in the ancient Tujia language. Thus, it was named "Yamugou" and has been used ever since.
The canyon is dotted with mortars, potholes, and other strangely shaped rocks, making it a typical glacial relic landform and a natural hundred-mile-long gallery.
Although Alessia developed a little faster than her peers, she was still only a teenager. St. Karina groped along the smooth canyon wall for a while before finally finding the entrance. Then she gently massaged the delicate and soft, indescribable area with her index finger until it started to feel a little moist before slowly pressing her finger in.
"Hey..."
Alessia wrapped her arms around Santa Karina's neck and whispered a soft hum in her ear.
Exploring the canyon for the first time is very difficult. Your fingers can feel the unusually narrow space. The closed canyon requires skillful force to slowly pry it open.
After that, you need patience and to outwit the entrance, wearing down that canyon gate that firmly holds your fingers halfway in, as if it were being held in a tiny mouth.
"Miss Gin, what do you think of the scenery in my canyon?"
In my ear, I could hear a soft female voice whispering.
"It's very beautiful, and the scenery is wonderful."
Saint Karina replied.
As the two talked, the difficult progress made further progress. It was still a bit dry inside, but with the gentle caress of Saint Karina's fingers, it gradually began to secrete a semi-thick liquid similar to glue. Soon, she was able to move around a little with the help of lubrication.
If even a single finger joint is this difficult, then that holy sword that gained such a huge advantage must have caused her considerable pain.
Her half-developed body was almost unable to withstand further development, and Saint Karina's fingers struggled to move freely in the indescribable place for a long time.
“Miss Gin, you can add another one. This canyon is rarely visited, and even beginners sometimes need brute force.”
Alessia grasped Santa Karina's wrist and said.
"No, I have plenty of patience."
But Saint Karina remained unmoved, and her wrist, which was being held, did not budge an inch, because she was stronger than Alessia and the other could not force her to obey.
To be honest, trying to insert a second finger would only make Alessia feel even more swollen and painful. But the holy sword from the original contract was much thicker than just two fingers; it would take immense resolve to do that…
"How was Alessia's experience... How about trying something more exciting?"
Almost instinctively, Saint Karina nodded, much to her dismay.
"But, I was just joking. Today, please have Miss Gin try my cooking again—"
Alessia wrapped her arms around Saint Karina's neck and kissed her cheeks a few times. Then, she twisted her waist and teased Saint Karina's fingers as if rubbing them against an indescribable prop. Finally, she got off Saint Karina and stood up.
The dampness still lingered on her fingers. Thinking of how the soft, delicate valley beneath the dress must have been glistening with the fluids that had flowed out, and recalling the wonderful feeling of her fingers being firmly held when she inserted them into the valley, Saint Karina felt a dryness in her mouth.
"This is the finest dish from the Oswald family. Please enjoy it to your heart's content, Miss Gin."
Alessia reached for the plate on the table, which contained a small portion of a leftover crepe.
As if in casual conversation, she placed the plate under her skirt, reached out and picked up the crispy tortilla, and brought it to her indescribable place.
The crispy tortilla shattered upon impacting Alessia's indescribable area, its semi-liquid cream mixed with golden tortilla fragments, splattering everywhere before flowing down the crevice of the canyon.
"Gudu."
Saint Karina swallowed hard. She had to admit that this was the first time she had ever eaten such an appetizing dish.
As expected of the only daughter of Archduke Osvid, this truly deserves to be called the finest cuisine, and it is absolutely priceless.
"If we're talking about alcohol, let's drink this one."
Alessia pointed to the B-52 bomber cocktail on the table, which could be mixed to create three beautiful colors: light gold, white, and blue, from top to bottom.
The base color can be freely mixed. Besides the color of Saint Karina's eyes given by Alessia, there are also red, green, brown, and black, all depending on the bartender's skill and additions.
This layered color is thanks to the layering method. The B-52 cocktail requires pouring three kinds of liquor in sequence: first coffee liqueur, then sweet liqueur, and finally King Marley or dark rum, etc.
The B-52 is a cocktail with a rather unique way of being drunk. It requires a short straw, a napkin, and a lighter. You light the drink, sip it through the straw, and then experience the sensation of going from cold to hot – a truly unique experience. You have to try it to understand.
Using a straw is suitable for ladies. The most exciting way to drink is to gulp it down. When drinking, be careful to avoid touching the rim of the cup to prevent burns. Let the heat go out in your mouth to get the best taste.
In short, the word "sex" carries a hidden danger, and Saint Karina knew she was determined to accept the meal Alessia was treating her to.
131. The Grand Duchy Hidden in Danger
Within the Grand Duchy, countless soldiers in military uniforms, wearing military caps and badges of their rank patrolled the streets.
