The Delicate Female Lead Only Wants to be Loved by the Villainous Young Ladies

Adele returned to her waiting “harem,” a triumphant smile on her face. “I touched them!” she announced, striking a playful pose, hands on her hips. The other girls, though slightly exasperated by Adele’s antics, couldn’t help but indulge her. Adele’s unrestrained nature had, in a way, trained them to be more tolerant, her charm a subtle but effective form of manipulation.

“Touched… what?” Sharon asked, pouring Adele a glass of juice. Adele would have preferred wine, but her “wives” had unanimously forbidden it, fearing her… less-than-stellar behavior after a few drinks. Do I really look like the type to get drunk and cause trouble? Adele grumbled inwardly.
“Her ears, of course! Wolf ears! They were so fluffy and interesting!” Adele replied, not bothering to hide her enthusiasm.
Hermione, Celeste, and Sharon exchanged relieved glances. Adele wasn’t the type to lie, her sincerity one of the reasons they were so drawn to her.

“Of course it’s you,” Dorothy said, a hint of amusement in her voice. “Making a new… friend just to touch their ears.” She had almost said “hybrid,” but caught herself, remembering Adele’s own mixed heritage.
“Touching her ears was one reason,” Adele admitted, “but more importantly, I felt sorry for her. Don’t forget, I’m also a mixed-blood vampire.”
“So I can empathize with some of her experiences.”

Adele’s response pleased Dorothy. So it was the “mixed-blood” connection that resonated with Adele. Kaiser’s group had behaved terribly, even if the girl was a hybrid…
Or was it okay?
Dorothy paused, a flicker of doubt crossing her mind. It seemed that even she was starting to think like a normal person. In the past, she wouldn’t have questioned Kaiser’s actions at all.

“I’ll talk to Kaiser,” Hermione said, her voice calm but firm, hoping to resolve the situation peacefully. She knew that she, unlike Dorothy or Sharon, held a certain authority that Kaiser might respect.
“Thank you, Hermione!” Adele replied, grateful for Hermione’s intervention. “But I have a question, why does Wofoo only have ears, but no fluffy tail like other beast-eared girls?” Since she couldn’t get an answer from Wofoo herself, it was best to ask someone she trusted. After all, Adele was quite curious. Having touched the ears but not the tail of a beast-eared girl was like… reading the Four Classic Novels but skipping Dream of the Red Chamber. A fundamental gap in one’s cultural experience! A beast-eared girl’s tail was truly a wonderful thing! Having grown accustomed to First Snow’s slender, agile cat tail, Adele naturally wanted to experience the fluffy, thick tail of a wolf girl.
Dorothy and Hermione exchanged glances, surprised by Adele’s question. More importantly… they didn’t know the answer. As Sequence Ones, they had never paid much attention to the plight of mixed-blood vampires, their world far removed from the struggles of those at the bottom of the hierarchy. It was only after meeting and falling for Adele that they developed empathy and a sense of social responsibility.

Sharon seemed to know the answer but couldn’t quite recall it, her brow furrowed in concentration.
The silence was finally broken by Celeste, whose social connections spanned all levels of vampire society. She had heard whispers of a “tail-docking trend” among werewolf hybrids.
“They can’t remove their ears, it would be fatal,” Celeste explained, her voice low. “But by docking their tails, they become… more like vampires, at least in appearance.”

Adele’s heart sank. “…Tail docking?”
“Yes, like with dogs,” Celeste continued. “It’s done to… appease human preferences.” Like with Corgis, whose docked tails exposed their fluffy butts and met the standards of dog shows. Plus, with their short legs, Corgis often dragged their tails on the ground, making them prone to getting dirty.
But why would werewolf-vampire hybrids dock their tails?

Market demand?
Of course not. If you were buying a werewolf hybrid slave, the tail would be an important factor. Who wouldn’t want the satisfaction of taming a wolf into a dog?
And there were no such things as dog shows for them, nor was it a matter of hygiene.
Celeste continued, “I think it’s because of our, the vampires’, prejudice.”

“But it’s the werewolf hybrids themselves who choose to do it.”
“It’s a sacrifice they make… to fit into vampire society.”
“The humiliation of tail docking is probably no less than… castration.”

“But it’s very effective.”
“At least from my observation, those who have docked their tails, like… what’s her name again?”
“Wofoo.”

“Yes, like Wofoo, they have integrated well into vampire society.”
“Among them, Wofoo is considered relatively capable, beautiful, and docile.”
“So she’s even qualified to attend this high-society gathering of the most outstanding young vampires.”

“…”
Now Adele understood the reason.
But her mood worsened.

Because that kind of thing must be very painful and humiliating.
Wofoo was similar to her, but also different.
She wasn’t as lucky as Adele, so the price she paid was touching.

And not just her, the person who docked her tail, Wofoo’s mother, must have also endured great pain.
But to prevent their descendants from repeating their tragic fate…
To prevent them from being like them, never being able to integrate into vampire society, only able to survive on the fringes, doing the most menial and tiring jobs…

They still hardened their hearts, ignoring their children’s cries of pain and tears…
And personally cut off their daughters’ tails with a rope.
That was also Wofoo’s most unforgettable and profound memory.

So no matter what, she had to fulfill her mother’s expectations.
She wanted to climb higher and higher in this city of vampires.
Tears welled up in Adele’s eyes.

Ugh, I should have been gentler to Wofoo just now!
I shouldn’t have left the bathroom in such a hurry.
Wofoo probably liked being hugged, but she was also wary.

Adele had finally become someone who could make her let down her guard, but she hadn’t realized this, only focusing on the pleasure of touching the girl’s ears.
It was a missed opportunity.
But next time…

Next time she saw Wofoo, Adele would definitely treat her better!
Celeste reached out and gently wrapped her arms around Adele’s back, stroking her gently.
It was purely a gesture of comfort, without any lust.

Her master was still her master.
That kind and gentle girl.
The girl who brought warmth to others.

Under Celeste and the others’ comfort, Adele’s mood gradually recovered.
And suddenly, as if ignited by a fighting spirit, she clenched her small fists and announced to the girls beside her,
“I’ve decided.”

“…Decided what?”
“I’ve decided to eliminate everyone in Kaiser’s group in this Blood Trial! Except for Wofoo!”
The girls’ expressions varied, but one thing remained unchanged, a smile.

Clearly, they were both surprised and pleased by Adele’s ambition.
“Okay, I agree,” Dorothy was the first to raise her hand in agreement.
Actually, she was also annoyed by Kaiser.

As soon as Dorothy returned to Twilight City, she was repeatedly disturbed and challenged to duels by Kaiser.
It wasted a lot of Dorothy’s time.
Otherwise, she could have met with Adele earlier.

So this time, in the Blood Trial, it would be a fair competition, then don’t blame Dorothy for settling old and new scores with Kaiser for Adele.
Hermione and Sharon also nodded in agreement after seeing Dorothy’s approval.
These two, before becoming part of Team Adele, had always been in Dorothy’s small group.

So some habits couldn’t be changed overnight.
For example, they couldn’t help but want to support Dorothy’s decisions.
But if Dorothy’s decision conflicted with Adele’s interests or expectations…

Hermione and Sharon would instantly feel a sense of dissonance and choose to support Adele instead of Dorothy.
Only Celeste remained silent, attracting the other girls’ displeasure and confusion.
Adele absolutely trusted Celeste’s loyalty.

So she understood that Celeste must have other concerns.
Therefore, the girl leaned closer to Celeste’s shoulder, nuzzling her cheek affectionately.
Celeste blushed at Adele’s sudden action.

“Master…”
“You don’t look well.”
Celeste admitted this and nodded.

“Sorry, Master, of course, I will unconditionally obey your orders.”
“But I’m too weak, I’m afraid I won’t be able to meet your expectations.”
“I would feel bad about that.”

“Pfft!”
So it was because of this.
“Silly girl, it’s enough that you have a heart that’s willing to do things for me.”

“Let’s not talk about this anymore, come on, cheers!”
“To the establishment of the ‘Anti-Kaiser Alliance,’ cheers!”
Adele raised her glass of juice.

But before clinking glasses, she quickly added another request,
“Oh right! In the Blood Trial, it’s not just about dealing with Kaiser.”
“Protecting me is also the top priority!”

Adele’s fierce yet cowardly look was incredibly cute.
Her words also made the others laugh.
For a time, the atmosphere at Adele’s table was so good that it made others envious.

Kaiser looked at them from afar.
She probably never thought that her refusal to dance would cause such a big problem for her.
Adele had inexplicably targeted her completely.

But Kaiser was the perfect target.
As the leader, wasn’t it normal for her to clean up the messes of her group?
Wofoo returned to Kaiser’s side, but she just stood quietly in the corner, hugging herself, still wearing her cap, her long ash-gray hair looking dull.

But her eyes, because of Adele’s presence…
Shone with a faint light.
In her eyes, Adele deserved to have such a group of like-minded vampire girls who loved and protected her.

Anyone who interacted with Adele would understand.
Her charisma and attractiveness were unparalleled.
Wofoo didn’t apologize to Wen Xi.

Perhaps she was waiting for Wen Xi to understand her feelings.
Fortunately, Wen Xi didn’t mind this either, otherwise, if they started fighting again, Wofoo’s situation would be difficult.
Kaiser wouldn’t specifically protect her, she might not even understand why they were fighting.

From this perspective, Kaiser was also a rather simple-minded girl.
This might be related to the neglect she had suffered since childhood.
Her family didn’t care about her, especially her grandfather.

All their attention was on Dorothy, the daughter of another family.
As if Kaiser was the unwanted child.
Kaiser, who didn’t receive any care, naturally didn’t understand how to care for others.

She had lost the opportunity to develop normal empathy since then.
So, whether it was out of jealousy, or a desire for attention, or a desire for revenge against Dorothy…
Kaiser had been constantly challenging Dorothy since childhood.

Although she always lost, the talent and strength she displayed in the process also attracted widespread attention.
And Kaiser’s appearance was indeed quite good. Including Wen Xi, there were many vampire girls who had had crushes on Kaiser since childhood.
But she didn’t care about any of this.

It was like – “Women would only affect my speed of defeating Dorothy.”
She was interested in a girl for the first time.
And it was Adele.

Seeing that Kaiser was completely clueless, and even shifted her gaze away from her, constantly following another girl…
Wen Xi’s eyes became increasingly unreadable.
