“Ah, Mr Rhode, please wait for athe matter, Lize?”
Rhode ca toward hih Lize’s Cleric team didn’t carry as much responsibility as the others in this tactic, they had also put in a lot of strength Her face blushed and sweat beads filled her forehead She stalled abruptly and rubbed the hems of her robe nervously After a few moments, she sucked in a deep breath and looked at Rhode in his eyes

Lize looked very different She was no longer clad in the usual plain robe and had put on a white, silky muslin dress instead Her fair, delicate skin revealed a faint layer of blush under the candle flames
“Ah, Mr Rhode…”
She stood to her feet and lowered her head shyly She shrunk back a little and gazed at the teapot and teacups as though avoiding his gaze Rhode entered the roo lady before him Lize’s expression blushed even more and appeared exceptionally adorable

“Didn’t you want to treat ht, yes… Yes…”
Lize appeared as though she had just woken up from her dream She nodded and lifted the teapot to pour a cup of tea with shi+vering hands
“Mr Rhode… P-Please enjoy This is a first-rate black tea I’m sure you’ll like it…”
Rhode maintained his poker face He looked into Lize’s eyes and savored the fragrant tea
“Yes, it tastes great, Lize Your tea-ain”
“Thanks for your co to just drink tea I do want to taste some dessert”
“Eh?”
Lize looked dazedly But before she reacted, Rhode’s face leaned in to hers abruptly—he kissed her lips
“Mue slithered in and pried open her ue before she could even speak Lize widened her eyes Her eyes wandered in a blur and she softly fell into his embrace
After a few moments, they separated slowly and the silver thread of saliva between their lips dripped, which went to sho strong their passion was Rhode extended his hand and stroked her soft cheek, leaving her treh she was electrocuted Out of a sudden, an aromatic scent assailed Rhode’s nostrils and he felt two soft presences pushi+ng against his back Shortly after, Marlene’s voice filled the room
“Lize, didn’t I say you couldn’t escape?”
