Chapter 195: Pleiades
In the cosy yet elegant room of the Pleiades, Yuri Alpha sat in the centre, surrounded by the rest of the Pleiades battle maids. Her usually composed expression was a little more relaxed today, as her "sisters" all crowded around her, eager to hear more about her life outside Nazarick—especially her time spent with Lord Alexander.
"Yuri, come on, tell us! What's it like living alongside Lord Alexander?" Lupusregina Beta, the lively and playful maid, was the first to ask, her bright eyes gleaming with curiosity. "I mean, you've been spending so much time with him lately!"
Yuri, who is always the responsible and disciplined one among the grop, chuckled softly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "I've already told you some of it through message spells," she said, smiling warmly at her sisters. "But I guess hearing it directly is more fun, isn't it?"
Narberal, who always calm and a bit more reserved, crossed her arms. "It's different hearing it directly, Yuri-nee. You've been away for quite some time now, and we haven't had the chance to really catch up. Plus, Lord Alexander's been making big moves lately."
Yuri nodded, her face softening as she thought about her time with her Lord. "He has. You know, it's strange. Despite all his grand plans and the way he moves between worlds, when you're with him... he doesn't feel distant or untouchable. He's very attentive and... well, caring, even when he's busy."
Solution, the predator slime, mysterious maid, leaned forward with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Attentive, you say? Does that mean he's particularly attentive in... intimate matters?"
Yuri blushed, though she knew this conversation was bound to come up. The Pleiades were like sisters, and they shared almost everything, so the subject of Lord Alexander's intimate life was something everyone was curious about.
Lupusregina giggled and elbowed Solution playfully. "Oooh, I think that's the answer right there. Yuri, you're blushing!"
Yuri cleared her throat, trying to maintain her usual composed demeanour, but the faint pink in her cheeks gave her away. "I won't deny it. Lord Alexander is... well, he knows how to make a woman feel special. He's thoughtful, gentle when needed, but also... powerful. It's overwhelming, in a way, but never in a bad sense."
