"Nee-sama~ please open your mouth... Aaaannnn~" Ciel said.

"Ciel, how long are you going to take my share to pamper her? Liiiily-chan~ open your mouth... Aaaaannn~" Sia said.

In the dining room of the Marquess Rommel family, Ciel and Sia were fighting over the right to feed me. To reduce the tension from their dominant power, I took turns taking their food.

However, it seemed like they were not too satisfied with my decision and were competing to see who could feed me more.

Why did the atmosphere in this dining room feel tense?

To explain the situation, try to imagine a nine-tailed fox and a heavenly dragon eating in one room. For the human race, it was quite a rare sight, especially since the dominance of their physical bodies was enough to give fear.

Ciel took out her nine fox tails and Sia showed her sacred dragon horns. Seeing these two sights spread rumors about my relationship with them.

At least, there were already two rumors circulating in the Marquess Rommel’s residence.

The first rumor was the change in my body aura that was very striking and the rumor about my relationship with two high races.

The second rumor, happened after some Maids saw me coming out of my bedroom with red marks on my cheeks and neck after Ciel and Sia went out.

I don’t know what happened, but they screamed hysterically when they saw it.

I was used to the strange rumors circulating about me and chose to ignore them.

This awkward incident began after my morning preparations were finished, Mio who woke me up walked behind me.

Mio was a little excessive this time, she forced me to wear formal clothes for breakfast.

Why do I have to wear formal clothes for a meal together?

Umm .. there is a reason.

The reason Mio put on formal clothes for me was the presence of the Queen who was eating with our family.

My morning view was filled with seeing garbage that had not been thrown away.

I took a deep breath that was heavy enough to express my feelings.

"My morning is very gloomy," I muttered while glancing at the Queen.

I followed Mio and sat down in my seat. The dining room was a little more crowded with the presence of the Queen and the trash that followed her. I didn’t want to see this foul sight any longer and wanted to return to my room.

But, before doing that...

"Emm..? Nee.. Mio. Have Ciel and Sia already had breakfast?" I asked Mio.

I almost did a bad thing as a host by letting my guests go home empty-handed. During my morning preparations with Mio, I read about some changes that had occurred in the Yurification System. Mio’s reward system had disappeared and changed to a system of purchasing goods from another world.

One of the items that I could buy using Yurification Points was a Chocolate Box. Previously, I had bought a Chocolate Box and shared it with Mio. Because the contents of the Chocolate Box were quite a lot, we had difficulty finishing it. The strange food from another world tasted sweet and soft on the tongue.

When I bought the Chocolate Box, Mio seemed surprised by the object that suddenly appeared in my hand. I lied a little and said it was Alchemist magic that I learned from a magic book.

Forgive me, Mio. Because the power of the Yurification System is very difficult to explain in words.

Before Ciel and Sia joining breakfast... I have small talk with Mio and my family.

"Ah! Ciel-sama is walking in the park and Sia-sama is flying around the forest to see the situation. They will say goodbye after Lily-sama finishes this one business," Mio replied.

"Then, Marquess Rommel. May I invite my two friends to have breakfast together?" I said while looking at my father’s face.

My father’s expression rose slightly and he sweated a little. Beside him, Sebastian was whispering something in my father’s ear.

"Ahem! I-It’s okay.." my father replied briefly.

"Thank you, Marquess Rommel" I replied with a soft smile.

"Kuuh!" My father suddenly held his chest as if enduring pain.

I ignored it and gave a small signal to Mio. Mio who understood my small signal rushed off to pick up Ciel and Sia.

The silence and awkward atmosphere was felt again in this room until my father said something to me.

"Ahem! Lily.. don’t you want to reconsider it?" asked my father.

Ugh.. it seems like my father still hasn’t given up on including me in the royal family. The Queen looked calm but her hands shook slightly after hearing my father’s words. The Queen was scared but held back her fear with her flat face mask.

Being a Queen in a Kingdom seemed quite difficult. Luckily, I had an answer that could cover up my father’s selfish nature.

"I can’t accept it.." I said while shaking my head.

"I.." I took a deep breath.

"Don’t want to marry a man and want to marry a woman.." I said with a sweet smile to my father.

Ctaaaak!!

Plaaank!!

It seems, my words that had just been uttered caused a small commotion. The butler and maid who were standing in the room whispered to each other talking about me. The Queen’s guards also whispered following the whispers of our servants.

"Lily! What did you just say!" snapped my father while slamming his hand on the dining table.

"Do you know the meaning of your words!" my father’s gaze was now staring sharply at me.

"Of course, rather than living with a man like that-" I stared at the trash sitting in front of me with a cold gaze.

"Uweeek~ my life will be very miserable," I continued my words.

"Lily!!" snapped my father for the second time.

"Sorry to interrupt your little fight, Marquess Rommel. Do I need to explain the marriage rules in our Kingdom so that Lily-chan understands?" the Queen tried to break up our fight with the power of her status.

"..." My father just kept quiet and took a deep breath.

"Lily-chan, the marriage rule in our Kingdom is a man and a woman. There is no record of marriage between women," said the Queen.

"Then, with your power. Make a rule about it," I replied briefly.

"Uguu!" My short reply slightly cornered the Queen’s fear.

"Hmm.. you don’t want to do it? As a pet, you are brave enough to defy your Master. I think I need to punish this naughty pet," I stared at the Queen with a sharp gaze.

"Hiiiieeekkk!!" The queen’s mask was destroyed by her scream.

"Haaaah~ how about this. Make a rule that allows girls to marry each other and I will give you this."

"Huh?"

The Queen looked at me with a confused expression. A final weapon that I had prepared for a surprise attack. An Elixir that I bought at a high price from Ciel. An Elixir that can cure all diseases that are paid for by handing over my tail!

Attacking the Queen’s weak point with the First Princess’ health.

Fufufu.. this plan is perfect for getting a pet that will obey its master.

I took out a glass bottle of Elixir from my clothes pocket.

"N-No way!! Isn’t that!" The Queen suddenly stood up from her chair.

"Yes, that’s right. This is the thing you need, isn’t it?" I teased the Queen a little by throwing the glass bottle of Elixir in the air.

The Queen ignored my words and looked at the Elixir in my hand carefully.

"I’ll give it to you on one condition... Hmm.. you know what to do right?" once again, I teased the Queen by shaking the glass bottle of Elixir.

"I-Is it real Elixir?" asked the Queen.

"Hmm.. why don’t we try it?" I opened the cap of the Elixir bottle and poured half of the Elixir into my mouth.

"Eh?" The Queen was very surprised by my actions.

I then rushed towards the Queen and looked at her face.

"Huh? Um... W-What?" said the confused Queen.

I made a small movement to command her bow and the Queen understood.

"L-Like this?" The Queen slowly bowed and I kissed her lips.

"Umm!!!"

"Lily!!"

My father was very surprised by my actions while the Queen was silent receiving the Elixir injection that flowed from my lips.

"Oneee-samaa!!"

"Liiiily-neee!!"

At the same time, Ciel and Sia entered the dining room and my two step-sisters were screaming hysterically.

"Neee-samaa!! I’m coming! Ara~ what going on here?" said Ciel in a happy tone.

"Huaaa!! My cute little sister is such a smooth stealer!!" said Sia.

"Eh? Nee-sama??" said Alice who looked at Ciel.

"Eh? Cute little sister??" said Alyssa who looked at Sia.

After I finished giving the Elixir from my lips, the Queen slowly sat back down on the chair. Now, I looked at Ciel and Sia who had just entered the dining room, and wanted to greet them.

For some reason, I don’t understand. Ciel, Sia, Alice, and Alyssa stared at each other for quite a long time. Ciel and Sia then approached me and pulled my body between them. Alice and Alyssa stood up from their seats and pulled my body away from Ciel and Sia.

A thin flash of lightning came out of their gazes and collided with each other.

Um.. what’s going on?

"Uhuk!! Ugh!! My head!" the Queen held her head. From the tone of her voice, the Queen looked like she was in pain.

A golden glow slowly covered the Queen’s body. After the light covered her entire body and subsided, the Queen’s body changed into a figure I didn’t recognize. Different from her previous appearance which was filled with wrinkles of old age, the Queen’s figure in front of me looked like a beautiful and graceful teenage girl.

"Eh? My body is feels strange.." said the Queen.

A small commotion occurred again, now the Butler and Maid who were in the dining room were discussing the figure of the Queen who had changed into a young woman.

On the other hand, Ciel and Sia were arguing with Alice and Alyssa. I could hear my name being called by them. The small dispute was eventually won by Ciel and Sia who were now standing by my side and feeding me.

It seemed like I had become the subject of a dispute regarding the right to feed myself.

Ciel and Sia looked happy feeding me while Alice and Alyssa held back their envy from a distance.
