He also told Maria more things he hadn't shown to her the other night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that's how it went.\" Rudy finished his story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what about the other abilities you have?\" Maria asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have too many abilities. Be specific.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The one that makes you blind,\" Maria responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not the function of the ability, but I get what you mean…\" Rudy sighed. \"I have to work on that ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can just decrease the radius of that ability and scan a limited area to avoid the load on your eyes, right?\" Lilim wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can, but then there would be no point in using that ability,\" Rudy shrugged and continued, \"I can sense things in a limited area anyway. My sight has always been better than my hearing, but in a close distance or short radius, the difference is negligible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see…\" Lilim nodded. \"Daddy have it hard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria shot a glare at Lilim and said, \"Don't call him that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not? He has no problem with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's so immoral. Don't you feel… weird calling him that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. In fact, I feel excited every time I call him that. I am sure daddy feels the same.\" Lilim turned to Rudy and asked, \"Right, daddy? I remember how you played with my body every time I called you 'daddy' on the bed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\" Rudy gave a thumbs-up sign to Lilim and said, \"Roleplays are always the best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilim glanced at Maria and smirked, \"See?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria shook her head in disbelief and muttered, \"You two have no shame.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aww, Lady\u002F Maria, you are so innocent,\" Rudy and Lilim said in unison to tease Maria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see. So this is how the rest of my life is going to be. I will be teased by you two. I see. I see. Well, what can I do? I have chosen to love this man. Mistakes were made, but it's too late now,\" she said like a robot reading a script.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, now she is sulking,\" Lilim commented. She hugged Maria and said, \"You know, I was genuinely hurt when you said I wasn't your friend. But then you said you think of me as your sister. I am so happy right now that I can die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you really?\" Maria asked with a judging look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy watched Maria and Lilim interact and thought, 'I am glad they are on good terms again.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that reminds me…\" Lilim nudged Rudy and said, \"You never told me who confessed first. Was it Lady Maria or you, daddy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was… uhh…\" Rudy raised his brow and pondered for a few seconds before answering, \"I don't think any of us confessed our love to each other, actually.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\" Lilim exclaimed and shot a smirk at Maria. \"Well, well. So that would mean Lady Maria kissed you even though you have no relationship. Maybe she is not as innocent as I thought she was.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop teasing me already!\" Maria hissed. \"I forgot to confess my love to him because of everything that's happening! I also wasn't sure if I should confess to him or not since he said he was in a complicated relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I wanted him to be mine, so I made a move. I didn't want to lose him, but it turns out he belongs to multiple girls. I was in a hurry at first, but not anymore. So I can take it easy without worrying about losing him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, so are you saying that you are going to postpone the wedding?\" Lilim asked nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria looked at the toffee wrapper ring on her finger and said, \"I don't know. I have yet to understand what love means. I, of course, want to marry him soon. But will my life change after the marriage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It won't,\" Rudy answered. \"Even after the marriage, we will remain the same. You can take your time in our relationship. And as you said, neither of us are going anywhere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you,\" Maria said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And… I will get you a ring soon. I can get you one now, but I want it to be special.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilim squinted her eyes after seeing Maria and Rudy flirting in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or you can just be friends with benefits with him,\" Lilim suggested. \"Just like me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not a shameless girl like you who would lay hands on her friends or sister's lover,\" Maria remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilim raised her brows and said, \"Lady Maria, if you make fun of me like that, then I am not going to sit and watch. I will fight back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? What will you do? Punch me? Or perhaps change into your demon form and scare me away?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wish I could change into my demon form right now. I mean, I can, but it takes a while to change into the human form again. And I don't want anyone to see me in that form.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria bit her lips and muttered, \"I wanted to see you in a demon form…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can show you if you want,\" Rudy quipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right! daddy can do the thing he did a while ago and show… wait, no. That would mean she would see my naked figure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, hey. It looks like even Lilim can get embarrassed,\" Rudy teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daddy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy placed his hand on Lilim's shoulder and calmly said, \"Don't worry, Lilim. I won't show Maria you naked demon form.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reassured Lilim with a gentle smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daddy… you are so—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gentle smile on Rudy's face turned into a smirk as he took out his phone and played the video he had recorded of Lilim cleaning his snake with her mouth in her demon form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daddy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We were teasing each other, right?\" Rudy asked. \"You teased Maria. I teased Maria. Now, it's your turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shrugged and continued, \"You are also free to tease me, that is if you can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy had no idea that his words would bite him one day on his snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>===\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am thinking of conducting small events everyday and those who are interested can participate in the comment section.
