Reborn Regress Return: I Am the Heir of Shadows!

"Then I'll just fuck him behind your back, and you'll never know the truth."

Maria's confidence oozed from her actions—she flicked her red hair back and finished her cereal with a calm and unphased expression.

'Don't look so worried, Julian. Sena isn't the type of girl to break from this. She needs competition to grow.'

And Maria's thoughts were correct.

"W-What?!" Sena gasped, unable to comprehend Maria's sudden change, but the fact she didn't hide things also made it easier.

Instead of the expected submission from the cheating partner.

Maria became defiant and shocked Sena enough to make her stagger, almost falling over the plant pot near the door.

'Why? Why does she want to take him from me so badly?!'

Not deterred by Maria's shamelessness, Sena took several deep breaths, her fists clenching and relaxing as she finally seemed to have recovered and decided how to react.

"I-I won't ever give up on Julian. Even if you do that, I will still be with him."

Sena declared her stance, and Maria found herself amused by her conviction. "Good, that's what I want."

"Eh?"

Maria's response only confused the already shocked Sena.

"Sena, I don't want to steal Julian from you. I can explain things to you in more detail... but I need him too. So why don't you share him with me, so we can avoid these ugly fights and instead work together so no other women try to sink their claws into him. He's quite soft and easy to be pushed into bed..."

Maria's voice trailed off at the end, her face turning away from Julian, who looked shocked at her comments.

'Well he would probably have fucked that pink haired rabbit if I didn't join him.'

"Share? With you?!"

Sena almost choked on air, unable to comprehend the meaning behind Maria's words.

"Yes." Maria narrowed her emerald eyes and stepped closer, offering her hand. "If we are both watching him, then think about it. No slutty rabbit woman or strange female will get close behind our backs!"

"I-I don't know..."

Sena seemed to waver, looking down at Maria's hand before she took one last glance towards Julian, who was watching this all with a confused look.

His expression seemed to say, 'I am innocent.' But both women knew that with his face and body he could probably attract many annoying women. Even worse, if the world started falling apart.

Wouldn't people be willing to do anything for a powerful man? Sena already saw Julian's power up close, and it frightened her.

"How will we decide who is with him?"

Sena's question was a good point, and she didn't want to spend days waiting for him, and Maria was likely the same. However, this was where Julian spoke up and caused both women to glare at him.

"I-I can just make a schedule?"

"Oh no, you won't, Julian. This isn't some game."

"Honey, I know you are trying to be helpful, but please let us decide." Maria backed up Sena and made Julian take several steps back, knowing he wasn't going to have a say in this matter.

'Well, it's not that I blame them...' He thought.

In all honestly, he wouldn't mind having them both at the same time. This was his desire for a threesome and the inborn desire for conquest in any man.

He didn't want Sena or Maria to fight because of him.

'I'm just glad they haven't resorted to slapping each other.'

Since the two women started to speak about him, Julian escaped the area.

He really didn't want to hear their realistic talks about when they could have sex and what would happen if they both wanted to be with him. Not to mention the moment Maria mentioned her capsule was also a lover's version.

'Damn... this might take some time.'

The moment Julian left and sat in the living room, Maria and Sena watched him go and then gazed at each other before sighing.

"So he told you"

"Well, you're the one that sucked him off and sent me a text in the machine... to come check"

Maria stuck out her tongue and then pulled Sena into her room. The door shut and unlike Maria's with a broken lock, it clicked shut and blocked off most of the sound.

"So... did you tell him what you feel, Sena?"

"I-I tried..."

"Tch, I knew it! You don't deserve a man as wonderful as Julian!"

"And you do?!" Sena glared back, only to be met by a smirk.

"Why didn't you tell him..."

Sena dropped onto her bed, bouncing with a slightly moody expression. She looked towards Maria with a sad gaze, and Maria already knew why.

"You know how he would feel if he knew..." She bit her lower lip before giving a vague expression. "Hey~ Julian, I remember dying in your arms."

"Ah... that might have sounded weird, but he told you, right? Do you believe me now, about why I don't look like the same Maria, but I am?"

Sena nodded her head, remembering the words that came from Julian's lips and then looked at Maria again.

"Maria, can I ask something... What do you think these memories are?"

"Hm?" Maria's expression shifted, not sure what Sena meant, and she asked for more information.

"I mean, do we share memories? If you died, did you wake up in this world? Or are they the memories of our souls? I honestly cannot believe something so magical as being reborn, or reincarnated... Rather, I don't think I have been, since it was only recently I noticed you weren't the same as my dreams and memories."

Maria paused while watching Sena struggle with the situation.

In reality, from the day that Julian broke up with Sena, both women started having strange dreams of past lives, and their memories started to return gradually. Even now, when Maria spent time with Julian, she saw scenes and sights that made her confused and terrified.

"I honestly don't know. The goddess didn't even speak to me, and I just found myself in this world." Maria leaned against the door, listening to Julian who turn something on the television and laughed to himself.

"Did it make you upset when you saw us?"

"Very... even though I knew how you felt, and you told me I kept being jealous and wanting him to myself."

Maria's confession caused Sena to look away, feeling slightly guilty about all she had done while with Julian, but also understanding that he loved Maria as well.

"I don't want to be your enemy, Sena, especially when you supported him in that broken state..."

Maria closed her eyes, remembering everything and seeing the image of Julian in the first time he spent in this world... almost devoid of his usual charm and confidence.

The lack of mana made him shorter, although he was decent looking. He seemed completely different from the Prince she fell in love with. Yet Sena didn't judge him, and even in the end, when he was nothing but a burden, she fought for him.

"However... I am happy." Sena's lips curled into a smile.

"He tried to avenge me. I didn't know... and to think that the moment when I died Is something burned into his soul makes my spine tingle."

Her words caused Maria to shiver slightly, an eerie and obsessive emotion that Sena showed from time to time. But what made Maria confused was how she sometimes resembled one of Julian's shades.

Little did she know that if Eclipsa showed her figure more often, it might cause Maria to doubt its relation to herself.

'It can't be right... there's no way they use different weapons.'

Maria shook her head, not sure how to react.

"So, what do we do?" She finally asked, and Sena turned back, still wearing a faint smile before she turned serious.

"Honestly, isn't it fine as we are now? If we want to date him, then we just ask the other... if we both want to go, we just go as a trio."

"But what about sleeping?"

"Well, we can decide on that when we are going out. I mean, you haven't done it yet, so... I'll let him deflower you alone, then after that, isn't it better to do it together?"

"W-What?!" Maria interrupted with a gasp.

Sena just shook her head. "He won't be stressed, and there's less chance of him getting bored." Her eyes flickered with the obsessive red light.

'Deflower? Me?!'

Maria blushed at the thought, but she was still a maiden even with this new body and even in the past... what would it feel like?

She often fantasised about it, but... the size was too different!

Though it didn't matter... because everything they did was to save Julian.
