Although the older woman desperately wanted to believe that her 'composed' expression was flawless, how could Emilia be fooled by so easily by someone who was already under her 'spell'?
Initially, the crimson-haired girl had only really intended to discuss the matter of Alexander's death and reach a 'mutually beneficial' deal with Bellatrix. But with how adorably amusing her reactions were, Emilia really couldn't resist teasing her to see what she would do next.
Tilting her head with a curious smile, the crimson-haired girl giggled. "Weren't you going to check my tattoo?"
"Oh, o-ohhh… right!" Bellatrix didn't know if she was relieved or disappointed that that'd be all they were going to do, and she didn't have the time to debate over it either.
After all, in her absent-minded state, she really ended up tugging down the little beauty's flimsy nightdress, only realizing that she would end up completely exposing the young girl on her bed when it was already too late.
Suppressing the fire in her heart with sheer will, the normally confident and decisive prime minister of Phoenix couldn't help but gulp. 'I-I fucked up…!'
Looking at the completely unguarded young beauty facing away from her on her bed, with only her slim, sexy waist being covered by the now scrunched-up nightdress, Bellatrix felt like her sanity was only hanging on by a thread.
'C-Calm down, Bella. She probably doesn't even know what she's doing. Don't delude yourself into thinking she's seducing you only for it to be too late for regret later!'
Unfortunately, no matter how many deep breaths she took to calm herself down, the poor prime minister only felt her blood boiling hotter and hotter.
Had she not known any better, she'd have thought that Emilia had her drugged. But whether it was the younger girl's character or status, it simply made no sense for her to do something so ridiculous.
With her hands still frozen near Emilia's slim waist from having pulled down the nightdress, Bellatrix didn't even dare to move, terrified that she would end up losing control if she so much as ended up brushing the gorgeous girl's skin.
Unfortunately, the longer she stayed like that, the 'worse' things got for the older girl.
It was as if all the pent-up desires and lust that she barely ever had the time to entertain over the past decade or so were just now bubbling to the surface with vengeance.
With how smart and charming she was, there was no way Emilia didn't realize what was going on even now, right?
Seemingly aware of her thoughts, the crimson-haired beauty really looked back at her with a mischievous smile. "Are you done checking the tattoo already? If so… there's something really, really important I want you to know."
Suppressing the unease and excitement in her heart, Bella gulped before nodding. "W-What is it…?"
Emilia grinned. "I know you like me."
It was like a bomb had exploded in Bella's heart.
What did Emilia mean?
Was she teasing her, or mocking her?
Knowing that her Emilia wasn't so cruel, what did it mean? Could it be that she…
No no! Don't delude yourself, Bella!
Unfortunately, the bubbling hope in her heart showed no signs of stopping, it was only when Emilia leaned back into her arms, that all her thoughts came to an abrupt halt. 'O-Oh fuck…!'
"You know, regarding the situation with Alexander, I—"
Emilia didn't have the opportunity to continue as she was pushed down to the bed abruptly, with Bella's body pinning her down completely.
"D-Don't move, o-or I might not be able to guarantee what happens next!"
Feeling the mixture of excitement and terror from the older woman, Emilia couldn't help but giggle. "Don't worry, it's okay. I won't get mad. After all, I was the one who teased you even though I knew you liked me."
Emilia's soothing voice brushed against her agitated psyche like iced water over a burnt wound, and Bella slowly relaxed her grip on the younger girl.
Once she had calmed down a bit, the older woman cleared her throat in embarrassment. "S-So what did you want to talk about?"
Emilia grinned as she fluttered her eyelashes as if daring the other party to give in to her temptations. "Promise you won't get mad at me?"
With Bella's position, her face was barely an inch away from the crimson-haired beauty's, and she couldn't help but breathe a little heavier involuntarily. "P-Promise!"
Emilia giggled in delight, and neither of them mentioned the fact that Bella still had her pinned down. "Then, let me start from the beginning. When I came to the Golden Crown and met Alexander, at that time I couldn't help but notice that his girlfriend's expression wasn't quite right—"

Although Emilia believed in Bellatrix and trusted her to an extent, she was still a little cautious when exposing a part of her plans to the older woman. After all, they were still in Phoenix.
Regardless of the multitude of preparations that Noelle had made 'just in case', Emilia knew that she would more than likely end up exposing more than she needed to if she wanted to get everyone out unscathed.
Of course, this would only be the case if their discussion went south. With Bella's current state, however, Emilia had no doubt that the woman would never strike against her violently even in her dreams.
That being said, what she exposed to the older woman was still only a part of her plans, mostly focusing on the feud between Alexander and Amos, and how 'her team' ended up taking advantage of it to plot against both.
Although she was somewhat absentminded and distracted by the beauty beneath her, to her credit, Bellatrix still managed to understand nearly a third of Emilia's words.
If she understood correctly, the little beauty's team was really quite cunning and resourceful.
Not only did they take advantage of both Amos and Alexander, they even steered them continuously against each other till things reached an irreversible point and really tipped over.
Even then, they still kept some cards in their pockets to throw down at the already drowning opponents at the perfect opportunity. And this girl even dared to approach her directly for 'support'!
Although they did it in a way that allowed Phoenix to deflect the blame due to the incident being out of their borders, it couldn't be denied that Phoenix suffered a small decline in reputation and status because of this event.
Had it been anyone else, Bellatrix would definitely have been mad. But for some reason, when the little beauty beneath her confessed all her 'crimes' like that and even asked her for help, she couldn't help but come up with excuses for the younger girl on her own.
'It's not like Emilia needed to seek me out or let me know any of this. Right, she could have done so much worse and made us suffer without me ever being the wiser.' Bellatrix nodded to herself. 'How kind and pure!'
Of course, even knowing how smart Emilia was, the prime minister still didn't believe for a moment that the entirety of this plan was something she came up with on her own.
After all, it was a bit too cruel and cunning for someone as kind and pure as her Emilia. This whole thing definitely involved one of her guardians, though Bella wasn't yet sure if it was the girl's older sister or someone else.
Regardless of who it was, however, Bellatrix couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied with them in her heart.
After all, it was one thing to take care of threats cruelly, but another thing entirely to leave Emilia in the tiger's mouth like this. What if she had been someone with bad intentions?!
Of course, none of this needed to be told to Emilia. It would only serve to embarrass the poor girl, and Bella didn't want to be the one to do that when the little beauty took the initiative to confess and seek her help.
Emilia didn't interrupt her thoughts, and obediently kept still beneath the older woman, occasionally blinking her big blue eyes idly.
For Bellatrix, however, it was as if the crimson-haired beauty was continuously 'recasting' her spell of seduction, and the soft and temping half-naked body beneath her clearly didn't help at all.
Knowing that she might end up losing all sanity if she continued like this, Bellatrix quickly gave up thinking everything through as she should have, and ended up making the most reckless decision in her career as the prime minister of Phoenix so far.
