Chapter 136 Admiration
"Situation is very risky, the whole continent will be enveloped in war flames by next month and it won't be nice for us," Lyra had a serious face remembering how serious the situation is.
"Rapidclaw kingdom is already going crazy with their distorted army and food provision, I honestly think this will be a massacre if other kingdoms decided to not help them,"
Velian thought for a few minutes about the odds of the Union of Dukas and Montero kingdom supporting them.
"I don't understand why union won't send help to deal with the empire, won't they be their next target if the empire defeated Rapidclaw kingdom," Lyra was confused just like him.
"Does that mean they have something to hide from them?" Her question caught Velian's attention.
"It looks like we have to be even more cautious about them, Montero will most probably send help because they are already announcing battles,"
"It is highly possible but I don't see them winning this battle after losing the border," Lyra used her unique skill to predict the result but she couldn't help but doubt it as it didn't have perfect results.
"Make sure to increase the strength of our military plans and defence, I will help you with that, you can do it, right sister?" Hearing his question she quickly nodded her head without hesitating even a single bit.
"Anyway, how have you been sister? Did you miss me?" Finishing their official talks, Velian got close to Lyra without even giving her a chance to react.
"Same boring stuff brother, I wanted to come with you to visit my lady but I don't regret not doing it because if I did that Sariya would probably die from overworking," She had an exhausted look on her face talking about work.
"Relax, I will give you a massage for all the hard work," Velian got behind her touching her neck with his fingers trying to press all the sore spots.
"Hah~ that feels so good brother, your fingers are so good," She started to enjoy his precise touches on her body.
"You have a lot of tight muscles, this isn't working I will have to give a full body massage," Lyra hearing his words quickly started to remove her clothes.
She had no hesitation in her eyes as she kept enticing Velian with her strip-teasing show. Lyra had erotic movements but she didn't openly invite him to have sex.
"You never change, aren't you? remember your awakening day?" Both Velian and Lyra's minds went back to their childhood when they were living in a small village trying to hide their real identities.
"I don't have reason to change, ever since I was small I wanted to serve you and my lady, as long as I can stay in your family that's all that matters to me," Her words were sincere and filled with admiration toward Daphnia and Velian but Lyra considered Delvi more like a friend unlike other two.
"That's why all three of us love you, say Lyra," Velian stopped massaging her back for a moment while looking at her beautiful eyes.
"Do you have someone you like?" Hearing his words she flinched a little.
"I have, why do you ask?" She answered with a little blushed face.
"So she can get embarrassed," Velian thought looking at her behaviour and face.
"Hmm~ by any chance is that someone I know?" Velian knew Lyra liked him but still, he wanted to hear it from her mouth before jumping to conclusions.
"Ugh~ yeah," Lyra was conflicted about whether to answer him honestly or not.
"That's news to me, so who's this guy? Or is it a girl? I don't mind either way, who's this person?" Under Velian's constant pressure she had no choice but to reveal her biggest secret which wasn't a secret to anyone.
"I'm talking about you brother, I loved you ever since we were kids, I wouldn't let someone else massage me naked even if it was my blood brother if it wasn't you," She was embarrassed to reveal it.
"I don't actually mind even if you don't like me Veli, my purpose is to help you and my lady, I don't expect anything more than that," She didn't expect Velian to react her positively since she had inferiority complex compared to others since she was a former slave.
"Why do you like me, Lyra?" She was surprised to see him acting normally even after knowing it, her face lit up in joy when she heard his question.
"At first it was because of admiration toward my lady, you looked exactly like her so I felt the need to protect you as my own brother," Her words caught Velian's attention.
"It slowly turned into something more genuine and original, I still don't know what is love but you feel happy when I'm with you and I think that is enough for me," Her sincere and lovestruck look while explaining all these things were a magnificent sight for Velian.
"I love you too sister, let's build our love slowly and steadily, and I want to tell you another thing, I have other women besides you," Lyra wasn't surprised by his words instead she was curious.
She knew so many girls had their eyes on him just because of his looks but with his power, cooking, knowledge and behaviour he was a full package for any girl.
"If you are okay I would like to know who these girls are," Velian just looked at Lyra slightly before releasing the most shocking words for her.
"Mother and sister then Naomi, most probably Juno will join," She couldn't help but open her eyes wide with surprise upon hearing it.
"Mother? You mean our mother?" She wasn't too surprised by other girls but Lyra didn't expect to hear Daphnia's name on his lover's list.
"Yeah, I love her as a mother and as someone from the opposite sex, I always loved her like that, it's just she didn't want to accept me since I'm her son," She was interested to hear about how this happened as she already forgot about her own massage.
"I can see her not being open to that idea, so how did you-" She couldn't finish her words as Velian quickly closed her lips with a quick kiss.
"Enough about others, let's talk about us, it's our time now, I will tell you about her later," Feeling a hot sensation on her lips, she quickly savoured it without letting it go as she quickly got drunk in that feeling.
"Sister, lie down on the bed your massage is not over," Velian said in a sly tone.
