Reborn As Noble

Chapter 1078: Sore Steps and Sea Breezes ( 1078 )

That morning.

After the new warship docked, Javier was talking with several officers on the quay.

Meanwhile, Buddy and the other Pekko were causing ”chaos” around the naval base. They ran around, ”stealing” food from soldiers who were gathered in the outdoor mess hall, eating their morning rations.

”Cuquawked!!” Buddy snatched and ran off with a huge loaf of bread from a soldier who had just lifted it to take a bite.

”O... oi! My bread!!!” the soldier yelled, but Buddy was already halfway across the yard.

The other soldiers just laughed, while Javier exhaled and shook his head. The officers standing in front of him stifled their own chuckles.

”Buddy! Don’t steal the soldiers’ food!” Javier grumbled, glaring at Buddy in the distance.

”Cuquawked!” Buddy puffed out his chest after gulping down the entire loaf, his eyes already scanning for another target.

Javier exhaled and turned his attention back to the officers in front of him.

”Make sure everyone has enough food. Double-check the rations for today. I don’t want anyone going hungry because of a certain overgrown bird.”

”And make sure this ship is taken care of. I’ll provide the operational manual and arrange for training sessions for the crew who will be assigned to it. Treat it as a top-priority asset.”

”Yes, Your Highness.” The officer placed his palm over his left chest and bowed politely.

Javier nodded. ”Mm... since food isn’t a problem, tell the soldiers to just get more from the mess hall.”

”Yes, Your Highness.”

”I’ll be departing with Liana and the others after this. Keep up the good work and ensure the base remains secure. I’ll be back in two days.”

”Understood, Your Highness.”

Meanwhile, Liana and the others were climbing down the stairs from the huge ship toward the dock.

Mimi was already excited and slid down the handrail with a gleeful ”Nyaaaah!!” while Felicia and Delya walked down the stairs gracefully, step by step.

Liana paused at the top of the ship and glanced down at the long staircase, her expression tightening slightly.

Gloria appeared behind Liana and tilted her head.

”Liana? What’s wrong?”

”Ah... umm... nothing.” Liana smiled faintly.

Gloria narrowed her eyes and noticed Liana fidgeting while looking down at the long staircase.

”Ara? Liana? Don’t tell me you can’t walk after last night~”

Liana flinched before forcing a faint smile, masking her nervousness.

”My my~ I don’t know what you’re talking about, second wife~”

”Ara~ Really, Miss First Wife?” Gloria’s eyes drifted to Liana’s butt, and she gave it a quick poke with her finger.

Liana flinched hard and let out a small yelp. She glared and hissed in a low voice toward Gloria. ”Gloria!!”

”Ara? Just one round and you’re already this sore? Don’t tell me just because of one hard round from the young master in the shower, you’ve ended up like this.” Gloria teased, her tone playful but sharp. ”Don’t tell me you’re starting to become this ’weak’~”

Liana just stayed silent and fidgeted.

Gloria narrowed her eyes before they widened, and she hissed while glaring hard at Liana’s face. ”You’re telling me you had more than one round!!!!?”

Liana averted Gloria’s eyes and smiled nervously. ”Err... umm...”

”Iiiihhh!!! Liana!” Gloria hissed hard. ”You got mad when the young master was about to have a second round with me, but you got more!? Tell me! Two rounds!?”

Liana averted her eyes and turned her head away, too shy to meet Gloria’s gaze.

Gloria gasped and glared at Liana again. ”Don’t tell me... the whole... whole night!!!?”

Liana kept averting her eyes.

”Lianaaaa!!! That’s not fair!!!” Gloria hissed sharply and glared at Liana.

”I can’t help it!!” Liana hissed back, finally meeting her eyes. ”I don’t have any control over how the young master was... umm... such... such a beast...”

”Ara~ Really? Can’t help it?” Gloria crossed her arms and looked at Liana, smirking.

”Umm... the young master was different... umm...” Liana was about to continue when Gloria cut her off with a smirk.

”Alright~ Since you got soooo luckyyyy last night, I’m sure you can easily walk down these stairs, right~” Gloria smirked and started pulling Liana’s wrist, walking gracefully toward the staircase.

”G... Gloria!” Liana hissed, flinching as she was pulled along.

”Ara~ First wife. Forgot about ’walking normally’ training? Or do you think you need another lesson from Mrs. Erinnette~?” Gloria’s tone was sweet but carried an edge.

”Eeek!!” Liana tried to wiggle free but winced with every step.

”Just a ’few’ more steps, Miss Lucky Whole Night~” Gloria smiled while pulling her along.

”Alright, alright!!!” Liana hissed and glared at her. ”Fine, you get your turn for tonight!”

”Ara~ Really~ That’s so considerate of you, Miss First Wife~” Gloria teased, her voice sugary sweet. ”But still, you have no choice but to walk down, Miss L.I.A.N.A~”

”N... no!!!”

Meanwhile, downstairs.

Felicia and Delya looked up at how Gloria was enjoying teasing Liana, wondering what was making Liana wince so much.

”Nya? Liana said she tripped on something hard and husband was healing her last night.”

”Really?” Felicia and Delya looked at Mimi.

Mimi placed a finger on her lips, her tail swaying lightly. ”Mm, yeah... Liana said that before.”

After reaching the bottom of the stairs, Gloria smiled and looked at Liana, whispering,

”Tonight will be my turn, right~? No disturbances? Hmm?”

Liana exhaled and smiled. ”Yes~ Don’t worry, tonight you’ll be bringing our young master to your room~”

”Ara~ I’ll take your word for it.” Gloria adjusted her glasses with a graceful smile, then walked elegantly toward where Javier was standing, where Felicia, Mimi, and Delya were already mounting their Pekko.

Liana smiled to herself.

One can play, Gloria~ Don’t worry, I won’t disturb your moment with the young master. And since I noticed the young master went wild after sucking my breast...

She smirked.

Let’s see if you’ll be able to walk normally tomorrow morning~

”Liana!” Javier shouted and called her from a distance. ”Let’s go!”

”Yes, young master. I’m coming.”

Liana said with a faint smile and walked toward her Pekko.

Can’t wait to see Gloria walking worse than me tomorrow~

I’ll get you back for this, Gloria~
