Chapter 32: Let’s See Your True Form
Opening her eyes, it was another brand new and beautiful day.
Iris always managed to wake up before Naya. As Naya turned her head, she saw Iris smiling softly at her.
“Iris… good morning…”
“Morning.”
Iris raised her hand to stroke Naya’s silver hair.
This had become her habit.
Every day, she would wake up a little earlier because she loved watching Naya’s peaceful and beautiful sleeping face.
Every time she felt the person in her arms sleeping so soundly, Iris would feel immense happiness and satisfaction.
Last night, she had said she let Naya take the lead, but it didn’t quite feel that way.
To put it bluntly, it was no different from entertaining herself with an object.
The difference was that this object was Naya’s hands, more precious and softer than all treasures in the world.
“Iris, hehehe…”
Naya recalled the scene from last night, the only time she had taken the initiative in five years, and couldn’t help but smile foolishly.
But soon, she realized that her task was not truly complete.
Her smile froze in an instant.
“Iris, I have a request. Can you promise me something?”
“Hmm. I’ll get you the stars if that’s what you want.”
“How corny.”
Naya bit her lip and lightly punched Iris’s shoulder.
“It’s not that exaggerated. I just want to see your true form, is that okay?”
“Why do you suddenly want to see my true form?”
“I just want to, is that not allowed? I want to understand you better.”
Could it be that she wanted to see her true form to find a way to break through it?
No.
Naya wouldn’t do that.
After a moment’s hesitation, Iris nodded in agreement.
However, the real reason behind Naya’s desire from last night still needed to be questioned, it couldn’t be as simple as a whim.
She didn’t believe that Naya truly wanted to take the initiative.
How could someone be the attacker while relying entirely on someone else’s assistance?
Naya pursed her lips, her index finger curling around Iris’s hair.
“Iris, you’re really great. How come I never realized how wonderful you were before?”
“That’s because you never dared to ask me for anything before, and I had many things I hadn’t figured out. I can only say that your recovering your memory and my decision to love you happened almost at the same time.”
“Yeah, before, I wasn’t brave enough. Even though you promised to marry me as your queen, I always viewed you as a king in my heart.”
“And now?”
“Now, you’re my wife.”
Naya leaned against Iris’s shoulder.
After a few days of merging old memories, Naya gradually adapted to their life as an old married couple.
They were no longer so shy about facing each other’s bodies.
Of course, they still needed to change clothes separately.
Back then, Iris had been quite the Tsundere, claiming she would be with her and marry her, but she would always order her to do this and that.
“Put on your clothes.”
“Put on your socks.”
“Put on your shoes.”
“Brush your hair.”
Like she was commanding a maid.
Of course, at that time, Naya didn’t dare to resist.
Iris got out of bed first and started putting on her clothes, while Naya lingered in bed.
She placed her hand in front of her eyes, reminiscing about the details from last night.
Even though she was the King of Dragons, Iris could show such a cute expression while ascending, which was simply too amusing.
Naya pressed her palm against her nose.
Yes.
There was a faint, pleasant scent, much lighter than last night.
Then she tried to taste it.
“Naya.”
“Ah!!!”
Hearing Iris’s voice, Naya hurriedly stuffed her hand under the covers, turning to see that Iris hadn’t come closer. After hearing her scream, Iris asked with concern.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, nothing. Why did you call me?”
“I’ve never really asked about your preferences. What kind of clothes do you like me to wear?”
“Just a red and black Gothic dress will do.”
“Can I wear that dress we met in for the first time?”
“Um…”
Iris smiled slightly.
Of course, her clothes couldn’t have been kept for five years, but she had plenty of the same style.
She opened her four-dimensional wardrobe and found that very dress that had almost killed Naya, putting it on.
Iris wanted to touch Naya’s past bit by bit, to truly understand what kind of person Naya was.
This included understanding how Naya felt when that dress nearly killed her, there had been so many changes since then, and she still hadn’t figured it all out.
Naya sat up, gazing at Iris in front of her.
Five years ago.
Or rather, almost six years ago.
Iris’s dressing style had seemed slightly more youthful and aloof.
The red and black Gothic dress, with its alternating folds, gave off a sense of despairing beauty, and the black stockings wrapped around Iris’s long legs, accentuating her perfect leg curves.
Naya remembered that at the time, Iris had been wearing black gloves and her lips were a dark, deathly red.
Her blood-red eyes held an air of arrogance, as if looking down on all living beings.
Although it seemed very “edgy”, when Naya had first met Iris, her outfit had added to the overwhelming pressure she exuded.
But now, even in the same clothes, Iris’s complexion had softened considerably, and her lip color was much more normal.
“Looks good.”
Noticing that Naya’s expression didn’t show any sorrow or disgust, but rather genuine admiration for her beauty, Iris let out a quiet sigh of relief.
“Then, Naya, may I ask you a question?”
“Hmm?”
“I’ve always been curious about how you became a dragon. I mean, what power transformed you into a dragon? The energy you had at that time shouldn’t have come from you, right?”
“Um… that…”
Naya looked down.
It was the system.
It was a common system setting found in web novels, something that came from a higher dimension.
She felt a warm touch on her head as Iris bent down in front of Naya and gently kissed her hair.
“It’s fine if you don’t want to say. When you’re ready to tell me, I’ll be all ears. Don’t force yourself; I just want to understand you better. If touching your privacy makes you uncomfortable, I apologize.”
“No, no, it’s not that, Iris… I…”
[Host, have you forgotten what you promised me?]
[System…]
[She’s not pushing you to say it, so just keep that secret to yourself.]
[But it’s precisely because she’s being so open with me that I can’t bear to hide it from her.]
[You can’t think only of your interests. The sacrifice of the last system wasn’t to make you expose all the secrets of this world, was it?]
The mention of the last system left Naya feeling a lump in her throat.
“Naya, didn’t you want to see my true form? How about we go out now and take a look?”
Seeing that Naya hadn’t responded for a while, Iris reached out to her.
“Come on, let’s hurry and change our clothes. Before Illya gets up, you can see my true form again.”
Naya lifted her head and met Iris’s smiling eyes.
“Okay.”
Then she took Iris’s hand.
Iris didn’t seem like a queen, she felt more like Naya’s knight.
Oh right, she hadn’t put on any clothes yet!
Naya quickly pulled her hand back, grabbing the covers to cover her upper body again.
In truth, she was still a little shy.
Because today, she liked Iris even more than yesterday.
