Chapter 189: Stained with Blood
"Just a moment ago, Sylvia took one last look at you before she left with her father. Can you give her a chance to justify herself? Maybe she, um..." Elena tried to persuade her sweet little sister even though she also felt a bit conflicted. Unfortunately, she was silent for a moment and didn"t know what to say for the rest.
"That"s fine, Sister Elena. Please don"t stand up for Sylvia or anything else. I was disappointed, but that was all. It had no continuation. Apart from the Devil Emperor, the Devil Princess had lied about several things conveniently, and today was the worst. At least, their arrival did not lead to strife or war. I"m relieved of that. Now, we better go back to the dorm." Elysia shook her head lightly, then flew away in her invisible magic.
Her words made Elena put the topic aside. She also didn"t want to stay on that topic all the time. Many things were awaiting them apart from an issue about the Devil Princess.
It did not take long for Elysia to return to her dorm without anyone noticing her existence. The time she had spent since leaving and returning to the dorm wasn"t long, but this night was quite tiring for Elysia.
It wasn"t her body that was tired, but her mind. For now, she just wanted to sleep well until the morning greeted her. She knew it was what she needed.
After sneaking into Evelyn"s room quietly and changing her robe back into her pajamas, Elysia replaced Lila"s role, the fish cuddle doll. But this time, not only did Eve hug the source of warmth near her, but Elysia did the same.
The girl who had just dealt with the dark and cold night attended the two devils, this time looking for warmth. It was the first time she hugged Evelyn to sleep.
"Good night and sleep well, Sister Elena." Elysia sent her good night greeting before closing her eyes.
"Ahh, good night to you too, Ely. May your dreams be beautiful." Elena did not mince words and simply replied back.
She knew her sweet little sister craved a night of beauty sleep. Because of that, she didn"t play her words as usual when she saw Elysia hugging Evelyn to sleep. Elena also wanted it, but it could be realized another day. For the moment, she could sleep comfortably by lying on a soft bed and accompanied by Elysia"s spirit as her cuddle doll.
After making sure Elysia was sound asleep, Elena then closed her eyes. She hoped that good things would come to her and her sweet little sister tomorrow and beyond, always.
The restful sleep had lasted several hours, but it felt like nothing more than the blink of an eye. The morning sun revealed its glory to the world from the eastern horizon. Then, the cube alarm clock rings to wake the girls from their beauty sleep. It indicated the morning wasn"t early anymore.
Elysia became the first girl to wake up and immediately turned off the alarm on a table near her. She already felt refreshed with a bright expression after that comfortable sleep. It was already six in the morning. They needed to be ready and present for the knight cla.s.s at eight.
"Ehh, this smells of blood. It"s not wrong, and it"s from under this blanket? Am I bleeding without knowing it?" Elysia wondered in her mind when she accidentally smelled the faint scent of blood.
Her senses were quite sharp since she came into this world, and her sense of smell was also included. Elysia didn"t wait any longer and immediately opened the blanket that covered her in order to reveal the origin of the scent of blood.
"Wha, what? I"m bleeding! Um, it turns out I wasn"t hurt. Then, where did this blood come from? Evelyn?" Elysia noticed an obvious bloodstain on her pajama pants. However, she wasn"t hurt at all, and she checked that.
With curiosity, she opened the blanket that covered the girl beside her. Elysia"s final guess turned out to be correct. Evelyn"s pajama pants had more p.r.o.nounced blood stains around her private parts.
Evelyn"s monthly visitor came uninvited! The girl received a red code, and she needed immediate treatment. Elysia wasted no more time and quickly shook the still sleeping girl"s body. "Eve, hurry up and wake up. You have a visitor."
"Um, is it five o"clock now? Let me sleep a little longer, Ely..." Evelyn opened her eyes a little, but she closed them again.
For some reason, this morning, she felt lazy and cozy in this bed. Since there was still a bit of time before knight cla.s.s, she chose to find a comfortable position and went back to sleep. Unconsciously she hugged Elysia"s waist tighter.
However, the girl who was about to go back to sleep realized what Elysia had just said. Because of that, she opened her eyes again and looked at her best friend. "I have a visitor? Is someone looking for me?"
"Your monthly visitor, your aunt." Elysia came up with other terms Evelyn might understand.
"Huh? As far as I remember, I don"t have an aunt. Whereas the person who claims to be my aunt only visits the royal palace once a year. So, there"s no way those self-proclaimed aunts of mine will visit me specifically." Evelyn closed her eyes again. She thought Elysia was just throwing a little joke.
Elysia smiled a little helplessly at that. Evelyn got a little lazy, maybe because of the calming magic she cast last night. Unfortunately, the red one couldn"t be delayed just for reasons of drowsiness. "Not that aunt, Eve. But, your red aunt, your period is coming. It"s mens something... Yes, your menstruation!"
With that realization, Evelyn opened her eyes wide. She moved her slightly hesitant hand to check. She only needed one little pressure on her abdomen to know what happened. Menstruation and blood!
The sleepiness and laziness immediately disappeared. Evelyn mightily defied the comfortable bed"s gravity and quickly sat up. She saw clearly that the silent witnesses proved this incident.
"Ah, ahh... My pants got blood-stained, the bedsheet and the blanket are also not free from the case. Auh, Ely, you got blood too. Please forgive me. I"ll wash everything later." Evelyn apologized with a slightly panicked expression.
She believed that last night she hugged her best friend like a koala towards the bolster. The slight bloodstain on Elysia"s thigh was clear evidence.
"It"s okay, Eve. I"ll help you out, so take it easy. For now, go to the bathroom. You need to clean up any remaining blood in your private parts and put on a sanitary napkin." Elysia kindly stroked the troubled girl"s back.
"Ah, um, okay. Thank you. Aww..." Evelyn nodded with a slight smile, then she got out of bed. A little pain suddenly struck down there. However, that didn"t stop her from going to the bathroom as soon as possible.
"Eve, it"s six o"clock, kay?" Elysia reminded the girl who had just come out of the room.
"Ah, it"s not five o"clock anymore? Uhh, alright... We still have two hours." Evelyn answered as she walked away.
Elysia looked back at the stain marks Evelyn had left behind. She breathed a sigh of relief that she had prevented the female monthly visitors from coming to her. After that, she folded the bedsheet and the blanket to be washed.
A washing machine was a practical solution to all washing-up problems, even if it wasn"t as great as the ones on Earth.
Elysia changed into an academy uniform, then soaked everything with the bloodstains in water plus washing powder. Feeling that it could be left behind, she went to the kitchen to make a simple and easy breakfast for them.
When the kitchen"s activity chimed, and the aroma came over, Vanessa just opened her eyes. The white cat yawned and stretched her body after seeing that there was only her in the room.
The morning has come, and it was time for breakfast with yummy food. Vanessa rushed into the kitchen with pa.s.sion and charm. She wanted to help with a few things like a food taster or anything.
"Good morning, master. How was last night? Is everything okay?" The white cat jumped onto the table near her master.
"Yes, all is well, Vann. Those two devils have already returned to the Devil Continent." Elysia smiled and stroked her fluffy cat with care.
"What do you make for breakfast, master?"
"We"ll have breakfast with pancakes. Oh, you want to help me?" Elysia answered as if she knew the cat"s intentions. As she expected, Vanessa nodded readily to help cut some meat, fish, or something else.
"Em, but it looks like it"s done, Vann. I just made it simple and easy. For now, your help is unnecessary, but I have received your good intentions. Thank you, please wait at the dining table, and breakfast will come~" Elysia smiled at her Contracted Beast as she put the pancakes on the plate. Three breakfasts for them was ready.
