me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed at me. \"Who called this dumb person here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I leaned forward and smacked her pointing hand away. \"The only idiot here is you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heather chimed in. \"Amaury as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned to look at Amaury, who just laughed off her teasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fucking

hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you really a virgin?\" Siersha asked, narrowing her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenith's face turned pink in an instant. \"How many times do I have to tell you, I am!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't Pegasi love virgins?\" Heather asked skeptically. \"Then why does it act like that around you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenith grumbled, crossing her arms. \"I don't know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I raised my hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, dumbo?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring her insult, I asked, \"Wasn't Corvina originally your mother's spirit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenith blinked before nodding. \"Yeah, Mama was the one who requested Corvina to contract with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did Yenna ever tell you why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Her eyes narrowed. \"And don't call my mother that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I ignored her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you ever considered that Corvina loved your mother and that you are the reason Yenna can't ride her?\" I asked, tilting my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenith fell silent, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, it wasn't that complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corvina had formed a deep bond with Yenna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then Zenith was born—changing everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what should I do?\" she asked, looking at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shrugged. \"Wait for a while. Corvina is a tsundere type; she will eventually open up to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see,\" she mumbled, gazing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pegasus was flying above her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It circled around but never came down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Himmel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned to look at Siersha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her crimson eyes bore into mine, unblinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head slightly. \"Do you think Corvina will like you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I frowned. \"What kind of question is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm just wondering,\" she said, not hiding her curiosity. \"Will it hate you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shrugged. \"I don't know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, she is coming down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zenith's words made Siersha quiet down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corvina flapped her wings, descending with slow, deliberate grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her wings folded neatly as her hooves touched the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—she walked toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others instinctively took a step back.
