Honkai Impact 3rd: Don't Die For Me/ Book 3 Paradise

Chapter 84 Insinuation

<Clocktower>

'It's better if she's dead,' Vera thought. Observing the Valkyrie that served under the Queen of Austria was unpleasant. If anyone was observant enough they'd see that filth. Unadulterated lust of the worst kind flashed in those eyes. It was worse than Priest Viktor's madness.

Everytime Lieanna received treatment from Sakura those pupils would tighten ever so slightly. Her heart would accelerate, beating a lustful tune. Saliva would pool under her tongue until she was forced to swallow it. Sometimes that gaze would flick to Vera, how unsettling there was a hint of lust for Vera as well.

"Just a little higher." Lieanna practically moaned as Sakura wiped her back. A fresh band of bandages was needed for her shoulder wound.

From Sakura's perspective the taut breaths and heated breathing were from the pains of the wounds. From Vera's perspective she could see Lieanna making moves to touch herself. Though she refrained, her legs were slightly spread and her hand made attempts to the space between the thighs. Yep Vera had a finger on the trigger, bullets she crafted were ready for use.

With a final wrap around the shoulder Sakura was finished, Lieanna purred. She grasped Sakura's receding hand. The interaction was palm on palm. Both hands were smoother than river stones. Sakura looked inquisitively at Lieanna who's blush was hidden by the shadows of the clocktower.

"After we execute those traitors and win the war I'd like to thank you. Would you like to be my right hand? A position by my side, or even by the Queen's side. Perhaps a posh retirement, I have a few estates. I am not home often but if you reside there I'd do my utmost to accommodate your needs."

"Accommodate what needs?"

Kallen strode in like a gust of wind. She gently freed Sakura's hand and pulled her away. Lieanna's eyes narrowed, she remembered the assessment of the Holy Maiden. Vera observed as that glint lessened, in the pool's place there was that expected emotion. Lieanna grasped at the air in Sakura's direction.

"Short hair doesn't suit you Holy Maiden."

Lieanna glanced at Sakura, then Vera, for once she used her head to assess the situation. The Holy Maiden had escaped, there was a decoy in her cell. A few other Valkyries had escaped, Sakura was one of them and Vera the other. Maybe Vera could sneak away but Sakura wasn't captured. Lieanna would remember such a stunning exotic beauty.

Smack!

Kallen held back at the last moment but the clock tower groaned under the might of her punch. The hands shifted in opposite directions. The hour hand moved three minutes counter clockwise and the minute hand jumped thirty minutes ahead of time.

"Hah," Lieanna spat blood. The clock tower, no gravity inverted and she felt like she was strung to the floor by her neck. Black spots danced in her vision and flashes of red warned her of the damage inflicted.

Kallen reared another punch, she had to hold back this time. Lieanna consciousness was fading. Ava hadn't recovered, Olivia was still unconscious, her Valkyries were given the bare minimum of care. Practically no care at all when it came to Kallen's standards.

"Stop,"

Sakura gripped Kallen's fist tightly. Lieanna smiled at the scene before flopping on the ground like a dead fish. Vera sighed and dragged Lieanna's body aside. Sakura's effort had gone to waste because of Kallen.

"I spent the day treating her injuries."

"And I spent the day monitoring Olivia, Ava."

"Just because they're injured doesn't give you the right to waste my efforts!"
