Reborn As Noble

Chapter 1571: The Bonds of Family ( 1571 )

Afternoon.

Armand Private Island.

Javier sat on his lazy chair under the shade of a large tree, feeling the cool breeze drift in from the ocean. His eyes were hazy, half-lidded, his body loose and relaxed from the morning’s chaos. He glanced up when he noticed Liana approaching.

"Lianaaaa~"

Liana stopped in front of him. She was wearing her special maid bikini, the shimmering blue fabric with silver accents catching the afternoon light. The halter-neck top lifted her breasts, the sheer cups with black lace overlay teasing just enough to drive him mad. The high-cut side-tie bottom hugged her hips, the white frills mimicking a maid skirt hem, with a small apron-like piece at the waist. Her silver hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her emerald eyes sparkled with quiet affection.

She smiled, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and leaned down. She pressed her lips to his in a deep, lingering kiss before pulling back, her voice soft.

"Young Master. We’re all going to take a nap after this."

Javier gave her a lazy, content smile, still leaning back in his chair.

"Just take a nap on the cushions I set up earlier."

Liana puffed her cheek, glancing up at the sun. She ran her fingers slowly along her arm, caressing her own smooth skin.

"The sun is hotter than usual today. Our skin will get dry. Or worse, we might burn. You wouldn’t want your future wives to have damaged skin, would you, Young Master?"

Javier chuckled, the sound low and lazy. He reached out and pulled Liana into his lap. The moment she settled, her bikini bottom pressed against him, the thin fabric of his trunks rubbing against the soft curve of her pussy. His cock twitched beneath her.

"Naughty~"

Liana slapped his chest lightly, leaning in with a teasing smile.

"Haven’t you had enough from last night? Gloria, Felicia, Delya, Mimi, and Gracelle all fainted from your... attention. Left me to handle you alone."

Javier wiggled his eyebrows, his grin widening.

"That’s how wonderful this handsome, charming prince is~"

Liana slapped his chest again, then leaned down and whispered against his lips.

"If Young Master doesn’t mind... everyone wants to rest inside your portable building."

Javier tilted his head, his grin turning playful.

"If you all rest inside, it won’t feel like a real vacation~"

Liana raised an eyebrow.

"Sure. If you want all your future wives to become ’ugly’ with dry skin and burns, be my guest~"

Javier chuckled again. He snapped his fingers.

A massive portable building materialized in the distance, not far from where they were. It was beautiful, elegant, modern, with wide windows and a shaded veranda, fully furnished inside.

Mimi’s eyes lit up. She pointed toward the building and shouted.

"Nyaaa! Mimi is taking the first-floor room with the balcony!"

Delya puffed her cheek.

"No fair! Danna-sama, I want that room!"

She chased after Mimi, her dreamy smile replaced by playful determination. Gloria followed gracefully, her voice calm and teasing.

"We’re going to share the room anyway. There’s no point in fighting over it."

Gracelle, Felicia, Lyzia, and Celine followed behind, their footsteps light on the sand.

Liana planted a soft kiss on Javier’s lips before pulling back.

"Thank you, Young Master." She paused, her smile turning teasing. "Do you want to join us? Perhaps for an afternoon... snack?"

Javier’s eyes turned hazy, his grin lazy and mischievous.

"Oho~ If I join, it won’t be a snack. It’ll be a full course. And none of you will be able to take a nap until midnight."

Liana slapped his chest playfully, then slid off his lap and stood up.

"I’ll join the others. At least lay down on the long couch over there." She pointed toward a long couch under the tree near the building.

"Okay... I’ll be there after this."

"Mm~"

Liana turned and was about to walk toward the building when she heard graceful footsteps behind her. She turned to see Fransesca approaching, her body wrapped in a long, wide beach towel, her golden-brown hair flowing over her shoulders.

Liana smiled, turned, clasped both hands in front of her, and bowed slightly.

"Lady Mother."

Fransesca smiled and raised her palm.

"Ara~ No need to be so formal, Liana. We’re on vacation, remember?"

Javier sat up and glanced around. He tilted his head in confusion.

"Mother?"

"Hmm? Yes, Honey Bun?"

"Is Father with you?"

Fransesca pursed her lips, her expression turning playfully dramatic.

"Your father is busy with his Queens. Locked up inside the villa. They’ve been in there all afternoon. I doubt he’ll come out until dinner."

Javier stood up, glancing around again.

"Eh? So? Where are your escorts? The maids? The guards?"

Fransesca let out a soft laugh.

"They were escorting me earlier. But I told them I’d be with my son, so they didn’t need to worry. I sent them off to enjoy their own break."

Javier let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Good.

At least Mother isn’t wandering around alone. The maids and guards were escorting her here before she sent them off. So she wasn’t completely by herself the whole time.

Fransesca glanced around, noticing that Javier’s girls were no longer nearby. Her gaze drifted toward Liana.

"Liana?"

"Yes, Lady Mother?"

"Where is everyone? I don’t see Gloria, Felicia, or the others anywhere."

Liana smiled, bowing her head gracefully. "They were all about to take a nap inside the building Young Master summoned for us. Everyone just finished eating, and the sun is too hot for them to enjoy the beach right now. So they decided to rest indoors until the afternoon cools down."

"Ah..."

Fransesca raised her palm toward her lips, her expression shifting into something soft and thoughtful.

Javier tilted his head, confused by her reaction.

"What’s wrong, Mother?"

"Nothing~" Fransesca lowered her hand, her smile turning playful. "I came here hoping to spend the afternoon with all my beautiful daughters-in-law. But since everyone is going to rest..." She let out a dramatic sigh, her shoulders drooping slightly. "I suppose I’ll just go back to the villa and spend the rest of my day... alone. All by myself. With no one to talk to. No one to laugh with. Just me and the empty rooms~"

Liana bowed gracefully, her voice calm and respectful.

"If Lady Mother wishes, I can accompany you instead. I don’t mind skipping my nap."

"No, no~" Fransesca chuckled softly, waving her hand. "You should take your nap and rest, Liana. It’s important. You’re always caring for my Honey Bun, always looking after him, always making sure he eats well and sleeps well. You deserve a break. A real one. Go rest with the others. I’ll be fine on my own~"
