Chapter 41: Then Let Me Model Once for You
Originally, I thought Isana would become even more frightened.
Who would have thought, she wasn’t as desperate as imagined—instead, she seemed to calm down.
I saw Isana wave her small hand in the air.
“Burn it, as long as it makes you happy.
Anyway, those are all things for self-appreciation. Burning them doesn’t matter.
It’s just, Erika.
If you dare to burn them, no matter what, I’ll strip you naked today to compensate for my loss!”
Upon hearing this, Erika instinctively shuddered.
This Isana... isn’t easy to handle...
Taking a deep breath, Erika didn’t immediately set fire to the oil paintings but slowly approached Isana’s small face and began to threaten her.
“Isana, you speak well, but in others’ eyes, you’re the perfect little princess. I think you wouldn’t want others to know about your hobbies, right?
If people find out, your image will be ruined. They’ll gossip in private, saying you’re a perverted princess.”
At the words “perverted princess,” a rare blush crept onto Isana’s cheeks, and she got a little anxious.
“Don’t talk nonsense! Who’s a perverted little princess? I’m an artist!”
“That’s not up to you.”
Blinking, Erika seemed to have seized the upper hand and continued, “Tomorrow, I’ll tell others about the things you’ve done—tell everyone in Wode Academy.
Let the new students and teachers all know that you, Isana, are a big pervert!”
“I am not—!”
With a sudden shout, Isana retorted, “This is art, Erika! Everything I do is for art!
Of course, I can pay you—consider it the fee for being my model. I’ll give you however much you want!”
“Tch, who cares.”
Although Erika was short on money, she still put on an act and waved her hand dismissively, “If you want me to keep quiet, fine.
Then let’s do this—if you keep my dragon secret, I’ll keep your perverted princess secret.”
“Then... What about being my model?”
“Of course, that’s cleared too!”
Erika immediately turned hostile, “Who would strip naked to model for you? Dream on!”
“That won’t do!”
Isana panicked, “You were just about to agree!”
“I changed my mind, so what?”
Raising an eyebrow, Erika started to act shamelessly.
“You liar!”
“Why should I listen to you?
To tell the truth, I just got here recently—if you report me, I can leave this country anytime.
But you’ll be in trouble. I’ll tell everyone in the Imperial Capital about your hobby. Then your perfect princess image will be gone.”
Erika spoke with complete confidence, as if she had Isana completely under control.
And Isana’s face turned even redder from her words. It wasn’t clear if it was from embarrassment or anger—her small body trembled.
In the end, she raised her head, glared fiercely at Erika, and then harshly declared,
“Then we’ll go down together!”
“???”
“If you don’t model for me, my fantasy will be ruined. I’ve said it before—art is more important than my life. Reputation? Whatever!”
Was she really going this far...
Erika was a little startled by Isana’s resolve.
She began to admire this girl—just how obsessed with nude oil painting was she?!
The atmosphere became awkward for a moment...
…
Moments later, Erika gave in, because she realized this woman was truly willing to sacrifice everything for art.
But because of that, Erika also felt assured—she probably wouldn’t expose her secret about being a dragon for now.
“Then... I’ll model for you once, but just once, got it.”
“Okay!”
Quickly agreeing, Isana changed her expression instantly and showed a sweet smile.
Feeling a bit speechless, Erika still found it hard to bring herself to model.
But now there was no other choice—it was just one painting anyway, and she promised not to show it to anyone else...
“But it’ll have to be later! I’m tired today.”
“Whatever you want!”
Isana nodded. She cheerfully got up and clung to Erika’s arm like a close girlfriend, “As long as you agree, I can wait however long.”
“Hey hey, let go, don’t touch me.”
Not used to Isana’s pervy hands, Erika shook her off and turned to the cabinet, taking out the meat buns she bought earlier.
Opening the brown paper, the buns that had once been steaming were now a bit cold, but that didn’t affect Erika’s appetite.
She grabbed one with her small hand and stuffed it into her mouth.
Mmm, even though it was cold, it was still delicious.
“Erika, do you really like meat buns?”
At that moment, Isana happily ran over again. She now seemed eager to stick close to Erika. Though she was just pushed away, she still clung back.
This made the latter feel quite uncomfortable.
“I do like them. Can you not cling to me though?”
Isana didn’t mind. She smiled and said, “I tasted this meat bun just now—it’s lamb, right? The flavor’s quite good, not gamey, but a bit greasy.
If you like it, I can buy it for you every day. And our family has many things even better than lamb buns. If you ever want to visit, I’ll treat you to all kinds of delicious food.”
At the mention of food, Erika stopped pushing her away and blinked curiously, asking, “What kind of food do you have at home?”
“Everything!”
Isana patted her chest, “My dad spoils me. Whatever I want to eat, he gets it for me. Our warehouse has loads of specialties from the Aarlan Empire.”
“Really.”
Hearing her describe it like that, Erika couldn’t help but feel a bit envious. So this is the treatment of a little princess.
“Then... Can you bring some over now?”
“Sure! I’ll give the order right away!”
Saying that, Isana was about to go call someone.
But Erika suddenly regained her senses and reached out to stop her, “Forget it, forget it. Maybe next time. I have to go home now—just give me back my clothes.”
“Huh?”
Before she could react, Erika directly moved in.
Very forcefully, she stripped the gown from Isana’s body.
“Ah! Why are you taking off my clothes!”
“You cut up my clothes! Now I need to go home—what, you expect me to walk back naked?”
There was no resistance. Isana wasn’t much shorter than Erika, and apart from the chest, their figures were nearly the same.
So after obtaining Isana’s elegant dress, Erika quickly put it on herself.
Now, the one left in just her underwear was Isana.
Her snow-white skin was exposed, and her full chest was only covered by a thin vest—making her look very alluring.
Being suddenly stripped, Isana felt shy, her face filled with discomfort.
Glancing at the embarrassed girl, Erika mocked her, “Hmph, you know how to be shy? When you stripped my clothes earlier, you didn’t look like that!”
“T-That was different.”
“Pervert.”
Muttering under her breath, Erika sat on the bed and finished all the meat buns in the brown paper.
She originally wanted to bring some back for Gladys, but since they were cold now, she just finished them herself.
This was definitely not gluttony!
Casually tossing the empty brown paper, Erika glanced out the curtains and realized it was already nighttime.
She had to hurry home.
Bending down, she took the academy badge from her previously ruined clothes and prepared to leave.
“Wait, Erika.”
At that moment, Isana called out. She spoke softly, “If you go out wearing my clothes, the guards outside will stop you. Let me escort you.”
Saying that, she found a dress in her wardrobe and put it on, then happily clung to Erika’s arm again.
“Alright, now it’s fine. I’ll walk you home.”
“N-No thanks. Just take me to the door.”
Toward this somewhat perverted little princess, Erika still felt a bit fearful—she had almost been stripped by her today...
