"What are you talking about?"
Helena walked over, interrupting Marie Rose's inner turmoil. Seeing Helena arrive, Marie Rose felt too embarrassed to continue their previous topic, so she pointed at Ryuji.
"N-nothing! It's just... Mr. Ryuji wanted to see how tall I am!"
The mont she said that Marie Rose knew she'd ssed up. Helena looked at her maid, spouting such a la excuse and felt helpless, so she could only say...
"It seems Miss Mai needs so help…"
"I'll go!"
Before Helena could finish, Marie Rose fled from Ryuji's side as if her life depended on it, leaving the rooftop to Ryuji and Helena.
Helena watched Marie Rose rush into the kitchen where Mai was, then turned to Ryuji.
"Mr. Ryuji, my father told many things…"
Helena slowly walked to Ryuji's side, leaning her graceful body against the railing. But unlike Marie Rose, who had rested her head on the railing, Helena pressed her breasts against the railing and after doing so, visibly let out a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Ryuji quietly stepped closer and placed his hands on Helena's shoulders.
The mont she felt his palms, Helena's body trembled. But thinking of Marie Rose's reaction, which clearly showed that she had started to feel sothing for him, Helena couldn't help but sigh.
Yet when she felt the warmth of Ryuji's body, that sigh quickly turned into a sharp intake of breath.
"This is…"
Just like Marie Rose, Helena felt that sa strange attraction from Ryuji's body. Even though she couldn't see it, feeling his form and presence from behind made her unconsciously reconstruct his body in her mind. She even felt a trace of complaint… wondering why he wasn't holding her in his arms.
She pressed her lips together, closed her eyes, and spoke as if abandoning herself to fate.
"Mr. Ryuji, could you… give so comfort?"
She was inviting him to embrace her.
Ryuji didn't refuse Helena's invitation. He had intended to hug Marie Rose earlier, but since she ran off, Helena would do.
His arms moved, gripping Helena's arms, not asking why she suddenly wanted this. A little thought made it obvious; this was undoubtedly Douglas's idea.
Unlike Helena, her father Douglas was a true businessman. Soone who could instantly understand what Ryuji wanted, what he himself could offer, and what kind of future would benefit Helena the most.
Given Ryuji's strength and what he had provided, Douglas offering his daughter was practically the most natural move. Not doing so would have been the strange choice.
So, Ryuji didn't hesitate, he pulled Helena into his embrace, letting her full hips and soft figure settle against him.
This feeling was really quite wonderful. A young woman who had trained, yet lived in luxury, her body carried a uniquely refined softness.
Unlike Mai, who had to work and train constantly, leaving little ti to carefully maintain her body and shape her physique, Helena's body carried both strength and carefully nurtured softness in all the right places.
Her skin felt even better than Mai's and as he held her, Ryuji could clearly sense a certain fragile quality in Helena.
That fragility was hidden beneath her strong, noble young lady persona and her confident presence as a stage perforr.
That contrast made the sensation especially exquisite, so he naturally wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Ah…"
Helena also felt a wonderful sensation. In that instant, she felt overwhelmingly safe and the pressure from her father, her worries about the future, all her other anxieties vanished.
Ryuji's solid and warm embrace filled her with a sense of security. And when she ca back to her senses, she realized that it was exactly as she had imagined; being in his arms truly was safe.
Because Ryuji could resurrect her father, Douglas, when necessary. Even if she ssed things up, she wouldn't have to worry about her or her mother's safety, nor about Marie Rose being captured and turned into a plaything for disgusting wealthy n.
Right now, Ryuji was the only person who could save her, save her family, her ho, her everything.
So, despite her embarrassnt, after hesitating for a mont, Helena spoke.
"Y-you can do anything you want to … As long as you don't abandon , I'll do anything."
Her words were incredibly humble, far from the dignity expected of a noble lady. But that overwhelming sense of security, along with the shock of Ryuji's ability to bring back the dead, made her say sothing even more submissive than what Mai had said before.
And she realized it herself. After speaking, she couldn't help but cover her face.
"Hmm... for a beauty like you to say such things, if I didn't do anything, I wouldn't be able to call myself a man. But…"
Ryuji reached out and grasped her breasts that she had been pressing against the railing and began to knead them slowly.
Helena felt as if her breasts was being swallowed by an abyss, shifting under his hand, feeling both like her own and not her own at the sa ti.
When his fingers gently teased her sensitive nipples, she felt as if her entire body had beco concentrated there, reacting to every movent of his hand.
She covered her mouth, trying not to make a sound, but at that mont, Ryuji spoke.
"But for today, this is enough. I won't go any further, because we also need to get to know each other."
Ryuji spoke very seriously.
Ryuji spoke very seriously.
Yes, he could take Helena right now, but the price would be a lingering barrier between them.
If he could conquer her perfectly, why settle for anything less?
"These things… your father told you to do them, didn't he? But he's not wrong. Part of the reason I resurrected him was because I wanted you."
As he said this, Ryuji kissed Helena lightly on the cheek. She opened her eyes, revealing a mix of reluctance and shyness.
The reluctance ca from feeling like she was being manipulated like a puppet, while the shyness ca from the fact that Ryuji was willing to offer so much just for her.
