The Delicate Female Lead Only Wants to be Loved by the Villainous Young Ladies

Adele stared blankly at the clear juice in front of her, then suddenly asked, “Can I have some wine?”

“No!” x3

Hermione, Celeste, and Sharon’s voices rang out almost simultaneously.

“...”

Adele slumped against the table, grumbling, “Do you still think I’m a child? I’m # Nоvеlight # an adult...”

She could understand Hermione and Sharon’s concern, but even Celeste had rejected her request. What a disobedient puppy.

Despite Adele’s protests, the girls remained firm in their decision. They couldn’t risk Adele’s... questionable behavior after a few drinks.

Adele sulked, sipping her pineapple juice. Hermione reached out to stroke her hair, a gesture of comfort, but Adele shook her head, swatting Hermione’s hand away. Hermione, unfazed, simply smiled and withdrew her hand. She would make it up to Adele later, but for now, it was best to keep an eye on her. Adele, surrounded by her concerned “older sisters,” resembled a child on her first trip to a bar, allowed only juice while the adults indulged.

Adele fumed inwardly. Who’s the child here? she thought, remembering how easily she dominated these same girls in... other situations. But despite her annoyance, she obeyed. After all, she loved spoiling her wives.

With Sharon’s arrival and her natural ability to smooth over any tension, Hermione and Celeste began conversing, their discussion mostly centered on the upcoming Blood Trial.

As the younger generation of vampires gathered, the banquet officially began. Lady Chen Xi emerged, her demeanor elegant and composed. A hush fell over the room as everyone turned to face her, their eyes filled with respect. Without her, the current peace between vampires and humans wouldn’t exist. In another timeline, they might be enemies, their loyalties divided, their love for each other a forbidden transgression.

“Please, be at ease,” Lady Chen Xi said, her voice warm and inviting. “There’s no need for formality. This banquet is for you, the younger generation. It would be a shame for us elders to steal the spotlight.”
