[12:32]
It was already afternoon when Evelina finally got off me, stretching and looking satisfied and refreshed, like she had just stepped into the arena.
I, however, was still on the floor, waiting for the blood to return to my limbs after her lying on top of me had cut off the circulation.
"I really needed that~."
She hummed softly, looking over a window for any particular objects of interest.
After spotting her target, she knelt beside me and placed a quick kiss on my cheek.
"I guess it's time to return to our responsibilities..." She sighed, clearly not wanting to.
Talk about a departure from when I first arrived, from prioritizing preparation and pragmatism to wasting time just for pure comfort.
She was finally learning to prioritize her own needs instead of just being the usual perfect heir her father wanted.
I could tell just from the way she smiled that it was genuine, with her body language more relaxed than usual.
I was doing well in changing her original fate.
