Chapter 222. The Sight of the Sisters Loving Each Other Pleases Noah
Valentina had her own understanding of the current situation.
First and foremost, the mastermind behind this situation was definitely Noah.
Because only a god like Noah could make the prideful Delia react like she was trying to hide something.
She probably didn’t want to tell her little sister about the existence of the evil god, thinking of quietly making a fortune, right?
As for why she’d do that, wasn’t it obvious? It had to be for her sake!
It was definitely Noah creating an opportunity for her to bully Delia, who used to bully her!
…Well, Princess Valentina guessed right that Noah was behind it, but she guessed wrong about Noah’s motives.
She actually thought this situation was brought about by Noah to pamper her.
So, she wasn’t really angry, she just pretended that Noah didn’t exist, wrapping herself tightly in a bath towel and entering the bath.
“Hah, this is so refreshing. But I am a little curious, is it really that comfortable to take a bath in tights?”
When Valentina entered the pool, she deliberately sat between Delia and Veronica, making it easier to talk to both of them.
She first looked towards Veronica on her right, who was sitting in the pool hugging her knees, and spoke to her sister in a very natural and casual tone.
“Hmm… it feels a bit strange, but I think it’s not bad this way.”
The little princess was very happy to be able to bathe with Valentina again, so she responded to Valentina with a slightly shy smile.
She hadn’t even thought that her wish would come true, that the three sisters could actually bathe together. Even if she was bathing in pajamas, let alone tights, Veronica would still be happy.
—My god, thank you for fulfilling my wish.
Hugging her knees, with only her head above the water, Veronica silently thanked the ‘god who likes tights’ in her heart.
“Hmph, if you’re so curious, just go put some on and try it yourself.”
The little princess might be happy, but that doesn’t mean the elder princess was happy, on the contrary, she felt terrible.
But even though she felt terrible, Delia didn’t lose her mind. Instead, she cleverly suggested that Valentina try it too.
This wasn’t because she was generous enough to want to share the goddess’s blessing with Valentina, but because she was thinking that while Valentina went to put on tights, she would immediately ask the goddess to undo the grace placed in the water.
—I see, the conditions for the grace are the bathtub and the tights, two conditions that are indispensable, so just temporarily get rid of Valentina, huh? As expected of the first princess, not just a mindless villain, she has a little bit of cleverness.
Seeing this, Noah, who was standing behind the little princess, immediately understood Delia’s intentions, and a look of appreciation appeared on his face.
—But you’re still too inexperienced, Delia! The Valentina of now is not that simple princess that can be easily dismissed!
However, the smile on Noah’s face quickly turned into a sneer, because he knew that something that would startle Delia would happen next.
As if to respond to Noah’s expectations.
Valentina, as expected, didn’t obediently leave. Instead, she slowly stood up from the water and walked towards Delia.
As she walked, she put on a smile and said:
“Is that so? But, dear sister, don’t you think it’s a bit too much trouble? You could just lend me your tights for a bit, it shouldn’t be a problem, right~?”
“!?!”
“Huh!?”
Delia and Veronica were both startled by those words.
The maids, on the other hand, all showed an expression of ‘Ah, so that’s how it is’.
They knew Delia’s earlier statement wasn’t a smart move.
Saying Valentina should go find tights to wear was practically admitting she herself had some.
The two sisters weren’t that far apart in size, it was possible to take them off and swap.
But…
“W-what nonsense are you saying! Valentina, how can you say such a thing!”
Of course, Delia, the person involved, wouldn’t accept it. She also stood up from the pool, full of resentment as if she had suffered some great humiliation.
“Oh my, is there a problem, dear sister? You have so many clothes, and you change them so often, right? So there wouldn’t be any hygiene issues, wouldn’t that be great~?”
Valentina didn’t try to pressure her by getting closer, she just smiled happily.
Hehe~ This woman is so easy to break~
“That’s not the problem!”
To this, Delia, of course, waved her arm excitedly. Because the motion was too large,
the globes also shook hard, making Noah see something interesting again.
“Oh? Then what is the problem?”
Valentina acted as if she really didn’t know, using her melodious voice to make Delia feel even more embarrassed.
“No means no, I can let you wear my other tights, but not these ones!”
How could Delia tell her that she received a Goddess’ blessing through her tights? What if the Goddess wouldn’t help her if she took them off?
But she couldn’t say it, so in the end, she took a step back.
Delia thought that since she had already conceded and allowed Valentina, that wild child, to wear clothes belonging to her, a legitimate princess, Valentina should know to back down as well.
The answer was no.
“Absolutely not? Well, that’s just too bad, looks like I’ll have to tell the people what you’ve done to me in the past.”
Valentina’s face didn’t show any disappointment. Just a composed, ‘I don’t care anyway’ expression surfaced.
After she finished speaking, she even revealed a sadistic smile, treating her sister Delia with an attitude she learned from Noah.
It was clear, Valentina was completely turning the tables, just bullying her sister.
“Valentina, you little…”
Now Delia was backed into a corner, forced to choose between her reputation and her tights.
Her expression turned quite ugly, even slightly twisted with fury.
“It’s just taking off tights, sister dear, what are you so reluctant about? Could those tights actually be hiding some secret~?”
Now, probably only Valentina in the whole kingdom would dare not back down when faced with Delia in this state.
Valentina herself found it unbelievable; just months ago, she was utterly unable to resist her sister, and now she had driven her to such an ugly spectacle.
She could feel more and more how Noah was spoiling her!
“Ugh…”
As the saying goes, people’s joys and sorrows aren’t shared. While Noah was absorbed in anticipating how the blonde, curly-haired princess in white stockings would react next,
he suddenly heard the little princess’s somewhat forlorn voice right before him.
Noah looked down and saw Veronica sighing as she gazed at her own tights.
Apparently, she wanted to lend her tights to Valentina, but was worried they wouldn’t fit because of the size difference.
She was feeling down because she couldn’t help Valentina.
But as far as Noah was concerned, the little princess was underestimating this world’s tights.
Even if they were a size too small, it wasn’t impossible for Valentina to wear them, okay? Don’t underestimate the elasticity of stockings!
