The Villainess With A Heroine Harem

After ending the call with Dixie's mother, Emilia and Samantha spent the next half an hour discussing both the finer details as well as some everyday matters.

Of course, as she was still positioned on Samantha's lap, talking wasn't the only thing they ended up doing.

Compared to Dixie and Crystal, who mostly relied on Emilia initiating everything, Samantha was clearly a 'greedy' girl who constantly tried to test her boundaries.

But since Samantha's naughty behavior was limited to just touching her belly and thighs, and kissing her nape, Emilia didn't mind it at all. In fact, it brought her some much-needed relief from the feeling of frustration she'd had ever since she left Crystal.

However, it was already quite late at night, and Samantha was tired from her long day. After a while, even her naughty behavior ceased, and the girl looked ready to drift off to sleep.

Emilia didn't object when Samantha pulled her into the blanket to snuggle, but Samantha could feel that the girl had no intention of falling asleep alongside herself. "I-It's already so late… do you still have to go back?"

Emilia tucked the older girl's hair behind her ear. "I haven't told Crystal or Dixie I would be leaving, after all. It's best to get back before they realize. But don't worry, I'll put you to sleep first."

Samantha sighed, feeling a little disappointed that she couldn't keep the girl for herself tonight. "You haven't forgotten about our promise, right?"

Although her little sister did scold her when she had bitten her ear, she had still been allowed to get away with a lot tonight, and Samantha worried if that would end up affecting the 'compensation' she had been promised before.

Emilia smiled as she briefly brushed her lips against the older girl's. "Of course not, Sam. Don't you believe me?"

The exhilaration and excitement she felt whenever Emilia's lips touched her own never failed to send a buzz through Samantha's mind. The soft, pliable feeling on her lips, along with Emilia's gorgeous face being so close to her own always made her feel like her heart was going to explode.

And in her slightly drowsy state, it felt even more amazing.

Samantha nodded furiously. "I-I do!"

Although now she was even more reluctant to part with her, Samantha knew that some sacrifices had to be made if she wanted to keep her little sister happy.

Emilia smiled as she gave the girl another peck on her lips.

Back when Crystal had dropped down the rankings unexpectedly, Emilia had left the burden of carrying out a lot of things to Samantha alone, including finishing off the matter with Randy and Mr. White.

And just as Emilia would never let any slight go unpunished, she wouldn't let Samantha go without a reward either. Before she had left, she already promised her a sweet date, and Samantha was still looking forward to it.

"Don't worry, Sam, let's just get these few things over with first. Un, once the matter with the Black Tiger is over, we can have our date in peace. Wouldn't that be better?"

Although Samantha felt a little impatient now that Emilia had all but confirmed she would be fulfilling her wish, she could somewhat see the appeal of waiting till they could relax and be worry-free. 

After all, it was unlikely that she would ever get such a golden opportunity too often, how could she let anything else be on her sister's mind that day?

Emilia smiled, as expected, Samantha was still as cute and obedient as ever. She moved over to the headboard and patted her thighs, and her older sister looked both happy and confused as she lay her head on Emilia's soft thighs. 

"I'll sing you a song, okay?"

In her previous life, before she had met Maeve, Emilia had spent a lot of her time either singing or painting, and although the songs she had written couldn't be classified as masterpieces, she considered them a part of herself, and they were very precious to her.

Even Maeve had only ever heard her sing once, when Emilia had first confessed to her. She'd had grand plans to sing a love song on their wedding day, but unfortunately, that song would now forever remain in her heart as nothing more than a humiliating reminder of all her failures.

The one she was going to sing for Samantha was one of the first ones she had written, when she had just started 'feeling' what was in her heart. At that time, she had wished that in her second life, she could have someone who cared for her, and would put her to sleep.

Not surprisingly, it was already quite similar to a lullaby, and Emilia modified it to suit herself on the spot.

"♫ Dreams and nights go on and on ♫ 

♫ Keep listening to my frozen song ♫ 

♫ For some time I'll still go on ♫ 

♫ My dearest, my sister, for you I long ♫ 

♫ Whether the dreams come to you tonight ♫ 

♫ Whether the stars glow dim or bright—"

Samantha had never heard of the song that Emilia was singing. Unexpectedly, her sister was so talented! Not only was her voice soft, soothing, and sweet, even the song itself seemed to be her original composition.

Of course, such thoughts slowly fled her mind as she drifted off to sleep, dreaming of the promised sweet date with her little sister.

Emilia stopped singing when she noticed that the older girl had fallen asleep, and got out of the bed with a sigh.

Cynthia couldn't help but pout. "Why don't you sing for me too? It would be good entertainment for me, if nothing else."

Emilia thought about it for a while before nodding. "If you do something worthy of a reward, I shall bestow you a song."

There was a moment of stunned silence before Cynthia exploded. "H-Huh?! How come I have to work for rewards now?!"
