“Do you have any questions?”
Before Linda could speak, Rosetta stepped in front of Roman and blocked her, asking coldly.
“Uh..”
Linda scratched her head, making her short black hair even messier.
“If not, then hurry up and get down.”
Rosetta said.
However, instead of obediently returning, Linda’s eyes darted as she raised her voice,
“Report, Captain, my appetite has been a bit poor lately.”
“Pfft.”
As soon as she finished, some of the girls below couldn’t hold back their laughter.
“Hahaha.”
A few seconds later, all the Holy Key Knights snapped back to their senses, finally understanding what Linda had said.
As fellow comrades, they were naturally very familiar with each other.
Hearing Linda say ‘my appetite has been poor lately’, they burst into laughter without caring whether Rosetta would deal with them later.
For the one in the Holy Key Knight Order who could eat the most to say her appetite was poor lately—even someone as cold as Lijie couldn’t help but curl the corners of her lips.
This idiot, if it was only His Highness making a joke, that’d be one thing, but the Captain is right beside him.
Isn’t she just asking for trouble?
Rosetta’s already stern expression turned cold.
“Get down. Don’t make me do it myself.”
She said.
Linda, after all, wasn’t really looking for a beating.
She had just acted before thinking and rushed up without even having an excuse prepared.
Immediately, she shrank back, ready to retreat.
But to everyone’s surprise, Roman actually stepped toward Linda.
“Since you’re here, let me take a look for you.”
Roman said seriously to Linda.
Standing so close, Linda felt her heartbeat suddenly quicken as she looked at Roman.
She had never seen someone so truly flawless as Roman.
The closer she looked, the clearer his perfection, and the more nervous she became.
She swallowed and peeked stealthily at Rosetta behind Roman.
Seeing Rosetta only frown without speaking or stepping in, she mustered up her courage.
“Your Highness, could you come a bit closer?”
“Mm? Okay.”
Roman made a puzzled sound, then took two steps forward, stopping less than a meter in front of Linda.
“Is this close enough?”
Roman asked.
“Y-yes!”
It had to be said, the women of the Holy Key Knight Order were all beautiful in their own unique ways—including this clownish girl in front of Roman.
Not the traditional fair-skinned beauty type, Linda’s skin was a healthy wheat color, her figure curvy under her uniform, and her face delicate beneath her black hair.
This combination gave Linda an aura of wild beauty.
Linda’s clear eyes looked at Roman.
Taking a deep breath as if preparing herself, she continued,
“Could you…take a look here?”
“Here?”
Roman looked at where Linda was pointing.
His gaze traveled down from Linda’s face to her lower abdomen, and suddenly paused.
Noticing Roman’s awkwardness, Linda grinned, then rolled up her shirt at the waist, exposing her stomach.
Though her waist was slender, her abs were sharply defined, the wheat-colored skin gleaming bronze under the sunlight—a sight both striking and beautiful.
Roman stared at Linda’s stomach for a few seconds, his face flushing slightly.
Though his reaction was small, Linda caught it clearly, making her feel a surge of satisfaction inside.
See?
Even His Highness of the Cathedral couldn’t help but stir when faced with her feminine charms.
“You said…your appetite was poor?”
Roman asked.
“Ah? Yes, yes!”
Pulled from her triumphant mood by Roman’s question, Linda hurried to reply, afraid she’d be kicked away by an angry Captain before making a lasting impression on His Highness.
“Is it alright if I touch it?”
Roman continued.
Touch it?
His Highness wanted to touch her abs?
The thought made Linda’s heart race.
She quickly nodded, even tensing her stomach slightly to make her abs stand out more.
Roman looked at Linda’s stomach and carefully reached out his right hand.
Linda, watching intently, didn’t dare blink, staring at Roman’s pale, slender fingers.
Finally, Roman’s small hand rested on her abdomen.
The cool, smooth touch sent a jolt through Linda, making her heart race uncontrollably.
Thinking that the hand caressing her stomach belonged to the unattainable His Highness standing before her in both beauty and status, Linda almost lost control.
She had wanted to charm His Highness with her appeal, but before long, she was the one nearly surrendering.
Forcing herself to endure her body’s reaction, Linda nervously continued,
“Your Highness, a little lower.”
Lower?
After checking carefully, Roman did find a small problem with Linda’s stomach. Hearing her request, he obediently moved his hand down.
As Roman’s hand passed her navel, Linda’s entire body trembled.
Her legs, encased in uniform pants, squeezed together involuntarily.
“Here?”
Roman asked again.
Any lower, and he’d be touching Linda’s waist, which would be quite improper.
Linda was already getting carried away, completely ignoring the increasingly frowning and restless Rosetta behind Roman.
Licking her lips, she spoke,
“Your Highness, a bit lower, please.”
As she spoke, she tugged at her waistband, sliding her pants down slightly to reveal her athletic, alluring waist to Roman.
Not just Rosetta, but the other Holy Key Knights below began to realize what was happening.
They stopped laughing at this brute and even felt a bit of admiration for her boldness.
This idiot…she must be the first in the Order to get this close to His Highness.
Most felt envy or jealousy, but many had already realized what was happening and silently watched Rosetta, waiting for her to punish Linda.
Up to now, the behavior could still be considered a normal examination, but any further would cross the line.
What was Linda doing, acting as if she was going to strip in front of His Highness?
Did she think this was Flower Street, or that His Highness was some prostitute from Flower Street to be seduced with a hint and a kiss?
Lijie was also confused.
Was Linda always this lecherous?
It was as if she was under some kind of Curse.
Rosetta finally couldn’t hold back any longer.
With a grim expression, she stepped forward, ready to kick this disrespectful fool away.
“Wait.”
Grabbing Rosetta’s wrist, Roman stopped her.
