62. For the Sake of Testing
“I do,” Calysia said.
Her expression suddenly became serious—she was being honest.
If Calysia wasn’t honest, Reina’s next plan would immediately be aborted.
Reina suddenly stopped cooking, and while the meal wasn’t ready yet, she pulled Calysia out of the kitchen, through the corridor, to the garden, and then to the bedchamber.
“Reina…?”
Calysia was confused.
Had Reina suffered some kind of blow?
Along the way, Reina didn’t speak, like the calm before a storm.
Calysia felt a little nervous, sensing that Reina was brewing something.
Perhaps a reprimand, or perhaps anger.
In any case, it wasn’t a good mood.
Because she could also sense Reina’s slight resistance in bed, although she would become a cute little kitten after getting into the mood.
Reina must be protesting.
But Calysia, who thought she could see through Reina, never expected Reina to suddenly turn around, press close to her, look at Calysia with affectionate eyes, and say in a gentle voice tinged with shyness:
“Come on… Calysia, don’t you… want to sleep with me?”
“Eh?”
“Let’s do it.”
Calysia’s mind went blank.
She didn’t understand what Reina was doing, so she remained still, waiting and seeing.
Reina, blushing, said impatiently:
“Hurry up, are you waiting for me to undress myself? Dummy…”
“Hmm?”
“Reina, do you want to do it?”
“Isn’t it you who wants to do it, dummy?!”
Reina said loudly, her voice laced with a hint of accusation.
She slightly regretted raising her voice, as it was extremely disrespectful in front of the Dragon King.
But Calysia seemed meek and submissive.
“Oh, okay…”
Saying that, Calysia reached out and unbuttoned Reina’s top, exposing the Dragon Mark on Reina’s chest completely to Calysia’s view.
“Don’t touch it.”
Just as Calysia was about to caress the mark of her vassal, Reina took a step back.
Reina had a reason for doing this.
In psychology, there was a method for treating mental illnesses called desensitization therapy.
For example, throwing a person who was afraid of the color red into a red room, making it impossible for them to escape the color, surrounding them with the very thing they feared. The patient would become completely immune to their fear of red after a few days.
…It was a similar method.
Reina didn’t want to become immune to Calysia; she might never be able to in this lifetime.
But she wanted to know if she had truly fallen for Calysia.
Although they had shared a bed for more than ten years, it had always been unexpected.
Reina had never actively initiated anything.
After growing a tail, her vassalization deepened, and she couldn’t find the reason.
—She was terrified that she had actually fallen for Calysia.
But leaving Calysia was also unacceptable to Reina.
She wouldn’t even be able to achieve the true ending.
If she fell in love with Calysia, the Dragon Mark would grow rapidly, until she irreversibly transformed into a dragon.
So, Reina decided to use this opportunity to directly experience whether she truly liked Calysia or not.
“Mmph!”
While Reina was still thinking, Calysia had already pushed her onto the bed.
One of Calysia’s legs was between Reina’s legs, and her hand began to caress Reina’s arm, collarbone, and waist. Soon, Reina felt her whole body heating up.
“Don’t… touch the Dragon Mark.”
Although Reina wanted to maintain her rationality, she couldn’t control the nervousness she felt.
Compared to the fear of sudden danger, she was more afraid of known threats.
Because she even knew what Calysia would do next.
But as long as Calysia didn’t touch the Dragon Mark, everything would be fine.
“Mmm…”
By the time Reina reacted, her clothes had already been unbuttoned.
She was left with nothing but her stockings and underwear.
“Reina, does this feel good?”
“It feels good~♡”
“Why are you seducing me?”
“Because I like Master Calysia.”
Reina lied.
She didn’t like Calysia.
The purpose of this was to completely eliminate the doubts in her heart.
As long as Calysia didn’t touch the Dragon Mark, it would definitely not grow.
“Hee hee~”
Being on top while completely sober felt quite strange.
Reina could feel the Dragon King’s warmth and scent.
Soon, the sheets became damp.
It couldn’t all be tears.
At first, one of Reina’s hands was held by Calysia, their fingers interlaced.
Her other hand lightly covered her lips, also to hide her blushing face.
But she still couldn’t stop the shameful sounds escaping her lips.
However, Reina couldn’t hear her own soft moans.
Because she kept reminding herself:
“It’s just a test, just a test.”
To help Calysia escape her destined death, she had to stay by her side.
To resolve the vassalization crisis, she also had to stay by her side.
Therefore, this was all just a test!
“How about this, Reina?” Calysia changed her position.
“Mm~.”
“Can I get Reina pregnant now?”
“No, mmph…”
“Why not?” Calysia was a little disappointed. She had thought Reina had finally opened her heart to her completely.
Reina blushed:
“Because I’m not a dragon yet. If I did, I would definitely… die!”
“Then let’s make Reina a dragon right now.”
Saying that, Calysia placed her hand on Reina’s chest again.
—Fortunately, Reina was quick and dodged.
“Dummy, dummy, didn’t we agree that you wouldn’t touch it?!”
“Sorry, I couldn’t resist~”
“Then resist.”
Reina said angrily.
She had originally wanted to test whether it was truly love that caused the Dragon Mark to grow!
Now everything was ruined!
But seeing Calysia’s aggrieved expression, she didn’t want to scold the pitiful Dragon King.
“Reina, what will it take for you to agree to have children with me?”
“Dummy, you can’t put the cart before the horse,” Reina said breathlessly.
Hearing this, Calysia wrapped her arms around Reina’s neck and kissed her.
After the kiss ended, they separated.
Because they had to attend Crimson Scale’s banquet soon, Calysia chose to restrain herself.
Reina also gave her answer:
“Master, I will always protect you.”
“But what if Little Vassal encounters danger?”
“Don’t worry, Master,” Reina said without hesitation.
She would always protect Calysia until the threat of death no longer loomed over her, and then she would make her escape.
Anyway, the Dragon Realm was like her backyard; she could come and go as she pleased.
Whether she stayed or left was up to her, wasn’t it?
Thinking of this, Reina’s mood improved considerably.
Anyway, she didn’t like Calysia.
It wasn’t a big deal.
Just consider it a reward for Calysia.
A truly enjoyable read~
Reina and Calysia will have lived together for decades and have a bunch of kids and Reina will still say “this is just a test!”
