The Legacy System

The most important was the person that came out of the bathroom though, it was Takeshiba Aika, this was her room after all.

Eric had sensed her presence and anticipated her entrance a long time ago, in fact, it was him who had asked her to come out of her bathroom at this moment.

Even though Takeshiba Aika didn't quite understand the reason why, she would never oppose or say no to her Master, so she immediately came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her head.

She looked like she had been taking a shower until now, and her hair was completely wet under her towel, as she entered with her vision blocked from her hair.

As this happened, Eric pretended to be startled from her entrance as he tried the best way to camouflage his presence at the moment, hiding behind the small chair where Takeshiba Miyu's dress was hanging.

But that wasn't all there was to it, as right now he even had a closer, and clearer view to her thighs, and the sacred grounds between them.

His actions were really swift, and smooth that Takeshiba Miyu had no time to react to that, as she could only react when she heard her little sister's voice from behind her,

"What are you doing sis!? I thought that you would have changed by now!"

Takeshiba Miyu was a bit startled and shocked by her voice, but she still managed to easily recollect herself, get in a position that covered Eric's, and say in an embarrassed voice,

"Well I took off my dress, and then was mesmerized by my look in lingerie! It has been a while since the last time I have been able to have a proper look at myself!"

Hearing that, Takeshiba Aika started laughing, as she said,

"Haha~! What does that suppose to mean!? Furthermore, shouldn't be men the ones who get mesmerized by you!?"

The moment she said that though, she seemed to understand that she had stumbled upon some land-mine, as she tried to rectify her mistake,

"Sorry sis, I didn't mean to make you feel bad, I just couldn't hold back my running mouth!"

After all, her sister was with a man that she didn't love. Not only that, but that guy had just married her for a show, and then left the country to continue his life with another woman.

As if this wasn't enough, there were a lot of rumors going around that her sister had started 'frequenting' another man.

Nobody knew if this was true, but in no time the single thread of hair became as large and numerous as a forest.

So saying those words to her was no different from becoming part of that group that was trying to insult, and throw mud upon her.

Takeshiba Miyu was taken by surprise by her words, but managed to quickly recollect herself as she said,

"Let's forget about that, it's meaningless to discuss it, or feel bad about it! But tell me about yourself, just how did you managed to get your hands on that smocking-shot!

And how the hell did you get father's permission about it!?"

As she said that, she sat on the chair that her dress rested a moment ago, and sat down, while making sure that Eric had the best view, and aroma of her secret garden where he was.

It was clear that she wanted to toy with the poor guy, and see how he would react to her, as at the same time she heard her little sister talk on the details.

In fact, she had asked her question in order to try and verify Eric's behaviour and conduct of earlier, and this was a perfect moment to do this.

There was no way Eric would be able to leave the place, or stand up and show his presence in the room, as Takeshiba Aika was supposed to not have any idea of him being there either.

Takeshiba Aika was really eager to change the topic of their conversation, especially after that land-mine she just stepped upon, but hearing the new topic she was a bit remorseful.

Not that she didn't want to talk about it, but because that was the way she had to play it, these were her Master's instructions.

Every step she had taken until now, and every word she had said were all conducted by her Master Eric, even now she was the same.

Thinking for a moment, then she started saying,

"Well he is a truly great guy, and is one of the brightest and smartest people I have ever known. He is like a younger version of our father.

I have always been attracted to him, but due to our social disparity I have never approached him. He was like the sun for me, crucial to my existence but too far away for me to catch upon.

Even though I knew that there could never be something between us, I couldn't stop myself from gazing him like the sun.

To cut the story short, not long ago I was dragged into some stupid play, and needed help to deal with it.

I was so afraid to tell anyone about my problem, and was trying to do my best to solve the problem myself, even though I was unable to.

It was at that time that fate brought me closer to the sun, and now I was able to gaze upon him much closer than before without getting burned.

I knew that if I approached closer I would get burned by the flames, but it didn't matter much to me, I didn't care, as long as I could feel those flames from up-close.

But things not always go as we wish, and when our approach became public I was forced to push him away for his sake.

I thought my heart broke into dust when I did that, but I didn't care as long as he was well and alive. I cried my heart out, thinking that he thought about me as a snobbish woman, but at least he would be alive.

I tried to stay as far as I could from him, but my problem wasn't over yet, so I was forced to get his help once again, only for both of us to suffer a more terrible fate, and get kidnaped.

By a weird stroke of luck, or weird coincidence we both managed to survive the ordeal, and when I woke up our little brother Yuto, told me that father allowed me to stay by his side.

I still don't know as to why, but later father seemed to have taken a liking to him, as I did, and then suddenly he told me that we were getting engaged that day.

It came as a true shock to me, as I have cried from happiness even more than I cried from my sorrow, even to this day I still can't believe that this is happening!

It all feels like a dream! But even if it is, it's a dream from which I don't want to wake up, no matter what!"

As she said all these, a weird silence conquered the room, and her gaze seemed to be flying and lost to distant places.

She seemed lost in memories, and dreams, going through a carnival of feelings. Even Takeshiba Miyu didn't have the heart to break her little sisters dreaming time, and awaken her.

At this moment, even Eric was a bit lost on his thoughts, as while he had told Takehsiba Aika the general direction of the story, the feelings she had added to it seemed genuine.

It wasn't that he thought that the actions, and feelings that he had shown during the kidnap, and her plans were fake at that time, no those were her original and true acts and feelings.

Most probably it had been only after everything had happened, and she had become officially his slave, that she had been able to look at the past with an objective look, and understand her true feelings.

She had truly fallen for him, and that was a truly good news for him. In fact, it made him want to protect her, and give her more attention.

While she wasn't the first, and wouldn't be the last to fall for him, it was still something special for Eric, something that he longed so much, the pure and true love.

As the three of them were slowly drifting in that weird, and deathly silence, Takeshiba Aika broke the silence once again as she said with a cheerful tone,

"In fact, you wouldn't believe this sis, but he is such a slow-poke weirdo whenever he approaches me!

He gets so ashamed that he gets flustered, as he starts stumbling, and trembling, and he is so cute as he does that!"

Takeshiba Miyu didn't expect such a turn of the situation, and topic, but hearing that she immediately started thinking about what had just happened until now.

The expression that Eric had gave her in this short time was exactly as her little sister said, he was a slow-poke, stumbling, and trembling as he looked at her with a red and worried cute face.

With this confirmed, her desire to play with Eric, and make see more of that just grew stronger, and she couldn't wait to play again with him.

But at that moment she was reminded of something, as she asked with a startling tone,

"Wait, if this is true! Don't tell me you two haven't…"

Takeshiba Aika just looked at her with a question look on her face, and she asked back with confusion,

"We haven't what!?"

Takeshiba Miyu was a bit surprised seeing her little sister ask her with that look on her face, but that actually made her believe even more that what she was thinking right now was probably true, as she continued…
