Chapter 66 - A Womans Laps isnt THAT Comforting! (1/2)
'What is this feeling?'
A troublesome thought swirled within Yue's mind as a groaned escaped her lips in tandem, feeling the somewhat firm pillow on the back of her head that kept on nourishing her spirit with a gentle warmth, Yue couldn't help but nudge her head and snuggle with some effort.
”Now, I think... he continued along with this twirling pattern as he moved the tendrils across his body in a rotation and struck out.”
A calm voice entered her ears, yet, failed to get registered by her consciousness, she was too busy getting the right feeling of what's beneath her head.
”Yeah, yeah! Will you stop nagging already?!”
A rough, yet mature voice, probably belonging to a woman spread across her surroundings as Yue's eyes shot open instantly.
”Oh? Awake?”
Nik looked down at Yue and smiled gently, her face right beneath his as his laps remained occupied by Yue's head.
'W... wow...'
Troubled to even utter a single word, a thin trail of blood leaked through Yue's right nostril as her wide, pale-blue eyes remained glued to Nik's smiling face. By now, even she knew that she was fortunate enough to experience the laps of a cute guy.
”She is awake? Finally!”
The previous voice emerged with shock barely contained within, causing Yue to finally tear her vision off of Nik's face as she looked at the slightly sweaty figure, her beautiful, voluptuous body covered in hide-robe that was fastened up to provide better mobility.
”What's with the blood?”
Karna asked with a concerned expression as she could see Yue's nostril bleeding further.
”Maybe... she has some sort of condition?”
Nik shrugged and used the edges of his robe to rub her nose before he used his left thumb to clean her slightly bloodied lips.
”W... wow...”
Yue muttered, finally.
”Don't anyone dare pinch me... let me dream further...”
She continued while enjoying Nik's laps, recalling the feeling of his thumb on her lips and simply looked towards the sky with a dazed expression.
Frowning, Karna looked at Nik with a blaming expression.
”Don't look at me!” Nik shrugged once again, how could he have known that the calm princess was this quirky? ”And I won't be the one to pinch her.”
He immediately spoke up while Karna's expression only grew darker. The tendrils of water around her quickly turned into ice, depicting her thunderous rage.

”Here.”
”Thank you.”
Yue nodded politely while taking a piece of cloth from Karna to once again wipe the blood leaking from her nose. A tiny ripple of disappointment did flash in the deepest recesses of her heart for Nik not using his hands to tend to her lips, but spirits forbid if she said something so demeaning.
”So, as I said, we both just thought that it might be fun to hang out with you.”
Nik smiled and explained while Karna kept a calm expression on her face. Looking at the red mark on Yue's left cheek, Karna couldn't help but feel bitter. In the end, she was the one who pinched her and actually felt a mind-numbing pressure on her body, finally making her realise that this quirky princess might be extremely strong.
”But why?”
Due to a cloth over her mouth, Yue's voice remained muffled, but even then, she was able to express her confusion.
”Why?”
Nik muttered with a frown and then looked at the two spirits swimming in the pool.
”I... we thought that you could use some company. And honestly, I don't wish for others to know that I am teaching Karna water bending.”
Yue nodded before Nik continued.
”And, I thought that I might as well teach you bending, too.”
”What?”
Karna and Yue exclaimed simultaneously as Nik smiled.
”I can water bend because of that blackfish, right? So, if I have heard correctly, you also gained the favour of that silverfish.
I am sure that you can bend, too...”
Nik smiled... a strange smile, though, his misleading words remained incomprehensible by the duo women, Yue still frowned before her eyes brightened slightly.
”I don't care about that stuff.” She opened up and whispered while looking at Karna with a smile, a mischievous one.
