[quote]”Oh, I’m he will. In fact, I’d be more than willing to lend my aid with that matter as well, should you so need it…” Giselle said, joining Renee in piercing Lanus with their glares. She would shoot a small spark of light, aimed directly at Lanus’s face. To him, the spark would feel like his nose got punched. ”Don’t think I didn’t notice where your eyes were looking before, lecher!!” She snapped, referring to when he was eyeing her dress. [/quote]


"Ouch! What was that for?!" Lanus staggered backwards, reeling from the pain. "It's not my fault you're wearing such a short— Gaah!" He never got to finish his sentence as Renee pinched his right ear.


"We'll talk about this later, got it?!" Renee's eyes flashed with murderous intent.


"Y-yes, Ma'am…" He squealed.


Secretly, however, Lanus smiled.


She really was back to her usual self.

The group returned to the Tower, where they met with Xashan, Scarlett, and Lupina. Renee was concerned by the explosion but Lanus told her that she got nothing to worry about, that it was just part of their "usual antics". Renee simply shook her head in response.


After some short chat, the group disbanded. The duo decided to return to the dorms to clean up. They had just been to the sewers after all.


However, right as they entered their room, Renee hugged Lanus from behind.


"Thank you…" she whispered. "For covering for me back there…"


Lanus, taken aback by her action, paused for a second, before placing his hands on top of hers.


"It's fine… I am your lover after all… it's my duty to protect you…"


Renee… never really got over the trauma from the attack at her village.


Instead, she blocked the memories, buried it deep within the recesses of her mind. Including the fact that her parents were corrupted by the miasma, just like that fallen fae.


They tried to attack her, and they would've killed her if not for Lanus coming to the rescue. It didn't matter how much she begged them to stop.


Every time her memory resurfaced, she would be paralyzed. Fear would act as poison, loosening her muscles while shaking her entire body. She wouldn't be able to think nor act.


She was ashamed and disgusted by this weakness of hers. But try as she might, even after all these years training under Lanus, she was still incapable of overcoming it.


Renee released her arms from his waist.


Before she pulled on his ear once again.


"You have some nerve! Looking up at another woman's skirt! Why do you think I wear this skirt in the first place, huh?" She yelled, all the while blushing from ear to ear.


Lanus couldn't help but grin through the pain. Indeed, ever since she learned about his affinity for short skirts, she decided to wear one. At first, it was quite the embarrassing ordeal, having to be aware at all times to not flash people her underwear, but now, she was completely comfortable with it.


"And just what's your relationship with her anyway?" Renee pouted.


"My old love interest," Lanus admitted without a pause. "Though it was quite a one-sided affair. I tried to woo her but she would never return my advances, no matter what I did. We were coworkers, you see, when I was still working in the court of the Fae Queen."


"I see…" Renee huffed, placing her hands on her hips. "Hmph, glad to hear it."


Lanus had to restrain himself from chuckling. [i]Oh how cute she becomes whenever she gets jealous like that![/i]


"Well, shall we take a bath? Together?" Her cheeks reddened.


"...Of course, my dear Renee."


An invitation to take the showers together. It can only mean one thing…
