Hero of Harmony (Continued)

Chapter 249: Caught Lying

"Yo, excuse me, but may we enter? Or have we been refused entry?" Asked Alexander lightly as he repeatedly knocked on the door with Lazuli calmly standing to his right.

After a few moments, Vanimo opened the door, causing me to faintly smile as I no longer felt awkward around him; it would be impossible after the lovemaking Lazuli and I had done. Granted, I'm still quite annoyed.

"I would've preferred if Vanye opened the door, but this will suffice." Said Alexander lightly as he glanced at Vanimo while wrapping his arm around Lazuli's waist before entering the house.

"Hehe, s-sorry about that misunderstanding, Alex; I wasn't trying to trick you or anything; I also like women. I'm not the slightest bit romantically interested in you. I-I mean, you're a very handsome man, with an impressive physique–" Remarked Vanimos apologetically as he glanced at Alexander before slightly bowing, only to awkwardly wave his hands, yet he was promptly interrupted.

"Shh. Just stop talking right there; I don't know what you were going to say, but you were already crossing the line." Stated Alexander sternly as he eyed Vanimo, who sheepishly rubbed his head before nodding.

Sighing in relief, I removed my hand before approaching the nearby couch, only to sit down while placing Lazuli on my lap, causing me to kiss her a few times as she was looking rather sexy.

"Hmm, where is Vanye?" Asked Alexander curiously as he licked his lips while looking around, only for Lazuli to frown.

"Ah, she is bathing right now. She also takes a long time, so it'll be a while before she leaves." Replied Vanimo lightly with slight envy as he glanced between Alexander and Lazuli before looking at himself, only to sigh afterward.

"If you don't mind me asking, can you tell me how you met my sister? She's not the most friendly, so seeing her befriend someone was a little surprising." Asked Vanimo enthusiastically as he leaned forward and stared at Alexander, who nodded with a faint smile.

"Nah, I don't mind, though just be warned; it's a little graphic. Mostly on my part, Vanye was beating my ass." Said Alexander as he dismissively waved his hand, only for him and Vanimo to smirk.

I started from the beginning when Lazuli and I saw Vanye killing those adventurers, which Vanimo didn't seem to like, given his deep frown, though his expression only worsened as I continued to inform him. By the time I finished, he looked entirely fed up with me.

"... After Lazuli talked with Vanye, she promptly left." Said Alexander lightly as he gently squeezed Lazuli's butt while glancing at Vanimo, who threw a pillow at a portrait of Vanye.

"Tch, I knew that little girl wasn't telling me the whole truth! Ohh, I'm going to give her one stern lecture!" Stated Vanimo angrily as he stood on the couch, clenching his fist, causing Alexander and Lazuli to glance at each other.

"Maybe I shouldn't haven't had told him everything?" Muttered Alexander as he glanced at Lazuli, who rapidly shook her head.

"No. You did the correct thing, Alex. I'm proud of you." Said Lazuli with a faint smile as she kissed Alexander, causing him to raise an eyebrow before hesitantly nodding.

"If you say so." Muttered Alexander skeptically as he glanced at Vanimo while Lazuli sported a sadistic grin.

"Um, why don't we just calm down right now, Vaninmo? No need to get so worked up, at least wait until she exits the bathroom." Asked Alexander as he pulled Vanimo by the arm, causing him to plop back onto the couch while he scoffed in annoyance.

"Hmph, you're right; I wouldn't want my anger to run out before I can properly punish her. I'm definitely grounding her!" Declared Vanimo with a wicked smile as he folded his arms and sternly eyed the bathroom door, causing Alexander's face to twitch.
