(Alpha Star System- Planet Gaia)

(Peterlor Estate- Outside Flower Garden)

Sophie leaned against the top of the wooden bench and gently played with Cleo's wavy hair as she enjoyed the view.

She was currently surrounded by an entire garden of brightly coloured flowers that swayed from side to side.

The sweet scent of honey and nectar filled the air, and one could see tiny insects hopping from flower to flower.

"So, when is Rachel coming to visit?" Cleo asked quietly as she pressed a light kiss against Sophie's lower arm.

"Hopefully in two week's time. I think she plans to stay for a month before heading back to the church," Sophie replied casually as she hummed a soft tune.

"I'm still impressed that you managed to befriend a saintess from the Nephilim Church. They tend to be rather stand- offish" Cleo hesitantly whispered.

"Still I have to thank her in person for getting the church to help rescue you"

The princess was someone who repaid favours and she owed Rachel a great deal for helping her girlfriend to return home safely.

Of course, she had already thanked Rachel numerous times over the virtual Net but meeting her in person was a different story.

Maybe she should get her a gift

Cleo furrowed her brows as she powered on her wrist communicator and checked her funds.

She had a decent amount saved up and would regularly receive some money from the Imperial fund but honestly it wasn't that much.

There were far too many princes and princesses sired by the late emperor.

There simply wasn't enough money to go around!

"Yeah I remember sneaking in past the Imperial Army's blockade that was honestly quite the experience," Sophie muttered as a few memories resurfaced in her mind.

Her months spent in the Unovan Syndicate and her subsequent journey back home seemed almost like a lifetime ago.

She had worked through most of her traumas with Doctor Reynolds, but psychology problems weren't something that one could just 'solve' and be done with.

Even now Sophie felt a bit reluctant to discuss the dangerous life and death situations that she had found herself in.

It was honestly a miracle that she had managed to survive, and justice would never be delivered since the late emperor was dead.

And none of the noble houses who lost their heirs wanted to pursue the matter with the royal family.

"But I'm here now" Sophie whispered solemnly as she tilted her head down and pressed a kiss against the top of Cleo's head.

"I know," Cleo warmly replied as she gently grabbed Sophie's shirt and pulled her girlfriend in closer for a kiss on the lips.

The princess closed her eyes as she felt the sweet taste of her lover's lips. Her tongue darted forward and cheekily pried open Sophie's mouth.

Sophie's hands roamed downwards and cupped Cleo's plump behind before gently giving her cheeks two light squeezes.

Eventually the hybrid girl had to break away from the kiss first because a faint pink mist was beginning to spread from the corners of her golden eyes.

"Tonight babe I'm going to make you unable to walk" Sophie growled seductively as she took in a few deep breaths.

Cleo felt her cheeks heat up as her girlfriend stared at her with a look of both hunger and desire that made chills run down her spine.

That unspoken promise would most likely come true.

Sophie continued to take in deep breaths and gently exhale until her excited mood gradually calmed down.

Maybe one day she would be able to kiss her girlfriend without fearing that she would trigger her lust state.

Hopefully that day would come sooner rather than later

There was a comfortable moment of silence between the two girls as they relaxed in the beautiful garden.

Sophie stretched out her arm and plucked a gorgeous red flower from a nearby bush before placing it in Cleo's hair.

The princess now looked like a forest spirit and her mischievous green eyes captivated Sophie in a way that words could not describe.

She was a dangerous woman who had stolen her heart.

Despite being together for over a year, Sophie never got tired of looking at her girlfriend and every day with her still felt special.

"Since our vacation got interrupted do you want to go somewhere else next month?" Sophie asked curiously.

"It's up to you I'm pretty happy just to spend time training and relaxing on planet Gaia," Cleo replied after giving the matter some thought.

"Actually, speaking of training I heard that you were chosen as the first-year representative for the upcoming inter university competition."

"Yeah Principal Malik mentioned something like that after the battle ranking exam ended," Sophie replied with a proud smile.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

The hybrid girl straightened out her shoulders and yawned as she recalled the meeting between herself and the principal.

Every couple of years the four great universities would hold a competition between themselves to adjust the rankings.

There would be students from other universities in attendance as well, but they were mainly there as spectators for the four great universities to display their prodigies and geniuses.

The next competition was going to be held at the end of August right before the new batch of freshmen entered the university.

The top students from each year would have to go to the location of the competition and compete for the glory of their university.

Principal Malik had high expectations for Sophie and wanted her to lead the Zrudread students to victory.

It all sounded quite fun actually.

Maybe it was the hunter's instincts flaring up in her chest, but Sophie actually looked forward to facing strong peers from other universities.

She was not arrogant enough to assume that she was the strongest but coming in first place in the battle ranking exam did give her confidence quite the boost.

"Well, if they allow the mech students to use mechs then it might be game over," Sophie joked as she stroked Cleo's hair.

"I think they are allowing weakened mechs or at least putting some restrictions on the weapon systems that can be installed," Cleo responded with a sweet smile.

"You better watch out"

The princess grinned and her piercing green eyes sparkled with mischief. Sophie's laughter echoed through the flower garden as she grabbed her girlfriend's hand.

These moments of peace she wished that they could last for a lifetime.
