Esper Harem in the Apocalypse-Novel

Chapter 461 Maria and Lilim

Rudy was flirting with Maria and Lilim and discussing things about the future. He also told Maria more things he hadn't shown to her the other night.

"And that's how it went." Rudy finished his story.

"But what about the other abilities you have?" Maria asked curiously.

"I have too many abilities. Be specific."

"The one that makes you blind," Maria responded.

"That's not the function of the ability, but I get what you mean…" Rudy sighed. "I have to work on that ability."

"You can just decrease the radius of that ability and scan a limited area to avoid the load on your eyes, right?" Lilim wondered.

"I can, but then there would be no point in using that ability," Rudy shrugged and continued, "I can sense things in a limited area anyway. My sight has always been better than my hearing, but in a close distance or short radius, the difference is negligible."

"I see…" Lilim nodded. "Daddy have it hard."

Maria shot a glare at Lilim and said, "Don't call him that!"

"Why not? He has no problem with it."

"It's so immoral. Don't you feel… weird calling him that?"

"No. In fact, I feel excited every time I call him that. I am sure daddy feels the same." Lilim turned to Rudy and asked, "Right, daddy? I remember how you played with my body every time I called you 'daddy' on the bed."

"Yeah." Rudy gave a thumbs-up sign to Lilim and said, "Roleplays are always the best."

Lilim glanced at Maria and smirked, "See?"

Maria shook her head in disbelief and muttered, "You two have no shame."

"Aww, Lady/ Maria, you are so innocent," Rudy and Lilim said in unison to tease Maria.

"I see. So this is how the rest of my life is going to be. I will be teased by you two. I see. I see. Well, what can I do? I have chosen to love this man. Mistakes were made, but it's too late now," she said like a robot reading a script.

"Look, now she is sulking," Lilim commented. She hugged Maria and said, "You know, I was genuinely hurt when you said I wasn't your friend. But then you said you think of me as your sister. I am so happy right now that I can die."

"Are you really?" Maria asked with a judging look on her face.

Rudy watched Maria and Lilim interact and thought, 'I am glad they are on good terms again.'

"Now that reminds me…" Lilim nudged Rudy and said, "You never told me who confessed first. Was it Lady Maria or you, daddy?"

"It was… uhh…" Rudy raised his brow and pondered for a few seconds before answering, "I don't think any of us confessed our love to each other, actually."

"What?!" Lilim exclaimed and shot a smirk at Maria. "Well, well. So that would mean Lady Maria kissed you even though you have no relationship. Maybe she is not as innocent as I thought she was."

"Stop teasing me already!" Maria hissed. "I forgot to confess my love to him because of everything that's happening! I also wasn't sure if I should confess to him or not since he said he was in a complicated relationship.

However, I wanted him to be mine, so I made a move. I didn't want to lose him, but it turns out he belongs to multiple girls. I was in a hurry at first, but not anymore. So I can take it easy without worrying about losing him."

"Wait, so are you saying that you are going to postpone the wedding?" Lilim asked nervously.

Maria looked at the toffee wrapper ring on her finger and said, "I don't know. I have yet to understand what love means. I, of course, want to marry him soon. But will my life change after the marriage?"

"It won't," Rudy answered. "Even after the marriage, we will remain the same. You can take your time in our relationship. And as you said, neither of us are going anywhere."

"Thank you," Maria said with a smile.

"And… I will get you a ring soon. I can get you one now, but I want it to be special."

Lilim squinted her eyes after seeing Maria and Rudy flirting in front of her.

"Or you can just be friends with benefits with him," Lilim suggested. "Just like me."

"I am not a shameless girl like you who would lay hands on her friends or sister's lover," Maria remarked.

Lilim raised her brows and said, "Lady Maria, if you make fun of me like that, then I am not going to sit and watch. I will fight back."

"Oh? What will you do? Punch me? Or perhaps change into your demon form and scare me away?"

"I wish I could change into my demon form right now. I mean, I can, but it takes a while to change into the human form again. And I don't want anyone to see me in that form."

Maria bit her lips and muttered, "I wanted to see you in a demon form…"

"I can show you if you want," Rudy quipped.

"That's right! daddy can do the thing he did a while ago and show… wait, no. That would mean she would see my naked figure!"

"Hey, hey. It looks like even Lilim can get embarrassed," Rudy teased.

"Daddy!"

Rudy placed his hand on Lilim's shoulder and calmly said, "Don't worry, Lilim. I won't show Maria you naked demon form."

He reassured Lilim with a gentle smile on his face.

"Daddy… you are so—"

The gentle smile on Rudy's face turned into a smirk as he took out his phone and played the video he had recorded of Lilim cleaning his snake with her mouth in her demon form.

"Daddy!"

"We were teasing each other, right?" Rudy asked. "You teased Maria. I teased Maria. Now, it's your turn."

He shrugged and continued, "You are also free to tease me, that is if you can."

Rudy had no idea that his words would bite him one day on his snake.
