The students began to cheer for Elara when she punched Veer, guessing she was angry with his proposal.
"Haha! Serves him right! Bro thought he could date two goddesses at the same time!"
"You can't even date one, bro. At least he has guts!"
"Fuck! You're still here?"
"Eh? No?"
"Forget him, and let's wish that Goddess Liliana also kicks him. Goddess, kick his balls, and my life is yours."
"Pretty sure her heels are more precious than your porn-aspect life."
"Shut up! Did you awaken a trash-talking aspect or what?"
Just like that, the students, especially the male ones, who were on the verge of despair, cheered happily. Unfortunately, their happiness was short-lived as they received another shock that day.
Elara looked at Veer, who was holding his face, and smiled. Then, she caught his collar and pulled him towards her, planting her sweet lips on his.
Stunned for a moment, Veer quickly reciprocated. His eyes closed, he enjoyed the passionate kiss without caring about the audience.
He hungrily devoured those juicy lips as if they were the only things left in the world. After a few seconds, though, they separated, knowing it wasn't good to continue in public... for very obvious reasons.
Elara was feeling happy as she licked her lips, savoring the leftover scent and taste of Veer. However, she suddenly felt a chill and turned her head to look at her sister-wife.
Liliana was feeling sour and glared at Elara. She wanted to be Veer's first in everything, and this girl had stolen his first kiss. But remembering how the two had spent their childhood together, she felt a bit better.
After all, this might not have been their first kiss, so there was no point in dwelling on it. Still, it left her heart filled with jealousy.
So, she found her target and repeating Elara's actions, pulled him towards her. Her red lips quickly found their destination as she kissed Veer, pressing her body against his.
Veer, who was catching his breath, was surprised at the sudden pull and attack on his lips. But he didn't refuse and enjoyed the moment.
He didn't know why or how, but Liliana loved him deeply, and that was all that mattered. He had already proposed to her and made her his wife, so he was going to pamper her with all his love and care.
Of course, that included fulfilling her needs, even the physical ones.
[...]
His hand snaked around her slender waist as he enjoyed the kiss. They didn't go far and quickly separated, as it was public...
"Don't you brats have some shame? Go to the principal's office now."
The fierce-looking teacher was the first to snap out of his daze and scold the three for their indecent behavior. He might have punished them more, but they were holders of S-Ranked Aspects. Only an idiot would offend someone like them for such small matters.
Veer bowed to him and, taking both of his girlfriends' hands, left the classroom. In the next moment, the class exploded into chatter and curses, as all the boys cursed Veer's seven generations.
The news about Veer awakening a trash Aspect and still getting the two most popular girls in his harem went viral. Not only the Starlight Beginner School but the whole town soon got the news.
Some people obviously didn't like this and planned to take things into their own hands. They formed groups and began to scheme.
As for the center of everyone's attention, he was currently walking in the wide corridors of the school with his two girlfriends. They both didn't speak, making the silence unnerving.
Veer looked at both of them and asked, "Can we have a talk after meeting with the principal?"
"Sure! I also have lots of things to talk about, and very important ones at that," Liliana nodded.
Elara shrugged, as she needed to question Veer about many things herself. "Sure! But tell me, are you serious about all of this?"
Catching her hand in his, Veer smiled. "I've never been this serious about anything until now."
Looking at his resolute expression, a smile formed on Elara's face. "Good for you. You finally found some motivation, huh."
Veer nodded and said, "Don't worry! I'll work hard to surpass your father and get his approval."
"You'd better, as we would only have one choice left then," Elara sighed and intertwined her fingers with his.
Veer smiled, then felt another set of fingers linking with his other hand's fingers, surprising him, as the fingers were so cold they felt like they belonged to a corpse.
He turned his head and found Liliana walking close to him, her hand linked with his. She smiled and said, "Am I not welcome?"
"You are more than welcome," Veer shook his head and tightened his grip on her hand.
Elara asked, looking at Liliana, "By the way, what's the deal between you two? I've never even seen you two together, so how did this happen?"
As he was going to answer truthfully, with a mix of lies, Veer heard Liliana's voice, "We share a past, of course. That's why I agreed. I have always loved him, so when he proposed, I was too happy and accepted it."
Hearing that, even Veer was surprised as he asked, "We have a past?"
Liliana stopped and looked at him in surprise. "You don't remember me?"
"Uh?" Veer tried to find someone like Liliana in his memories but couldn't pinpoint her. "I... don't remember well..."
Liliana sighed in disappointment and said, "I expected too much, I guess. Things really are different and stubborn. No worries; everything will be okay now that I have you on my side."
Veer was speechless, wondering where the cool, aloof goddess had gone. However, he also knew that people had different masks, so he didn't really blame her.
He scratched his cheek and said, "Sorry about that, but can you tell me about our past?"
Liliana smiled and put a finger on her lips. "Nope! That'll be a secret you have to uncover. For now, let's drop the matter."
Shaking her head, Elara said, "I have a few guesses, actually. You're probably one of the many victims, like me, who fell for him, but this bastard disappeared somewhere."
"Disappeared, huh. You could say that."
