Chapter 38: Coronation
Some hours before that chaotic scene unfolded in the F-classroom...
"What do you think? Does this outfit look good on me?" Insecure, Ember kept spreading more and more clothes across her room.
Lara simply smiled and gave a positive yet vague answer, just like the other times. Once again, the redhead stared at herself in the mirror for a long time before deciding she should wear something better.
It was the first time Lara had seen her friend so anxious and insecure. And it made her heart ache even more. After all, the reason for all this insecurity was Davi.
The girl, who still didn’t know he had the [Harem King] class, wasn’t sure what to do with her feelings. She didn’t think she could compete with her friend in any way.
Besides, she would be devastated if this somehow affected their friendship. Seeing the sparkle in Ember’s eyes when she talked about her beloved, Lara decided to bury her feelings once and for all.
She could still be by his side. She could be his guardian beast, serving and protecting him, but without any romantic involvement. Yes, that made sense.
In fact, if he married Ember, she might even serve both of them. That would be a happy future where she could stay close to the people she cared about the most.
What did it matter if she had to leave her feelings behind?
Well, even as she thought these things, the truth was that her heart was racing, and she had also emptied her closet while thinking about the right outfit to wear. The difference was that she didn’t have as vast a collection as her friend, so the choice was easier.
And that’s why Lara was wearing an outfit she normally wouldn’t. She had on a long-sleeved black top with a deep neckline that drew attention to her huge chest and even allowed a glimpse of her lace bra.
