Didn't you go to Teyvat to earn money to support me?

Do you really think this is okay?

Siegfried kept trying to find reasons for the two of them in his mind. He even switched to previous videos to watch them, but he didn't know what the two of them were thinking or what their relationship was.

Cecilia looked incredibly alluring at this moment. Her shapely, fair body was hidden in the darkness, but shimmered captivatingly under the infrared camera. Her lingerie was a sexy two-piece style, and with her stunning beauty and figure, any boy, or even a girl, would be tempted, let alone Bubu, who was still in puberty. At this moment, her entire body was covered only by a towel, and it was safe to say that if Cecilia made even the slightest movement, even if she accidentally knocked the towel off…

Why do you always sleep wrapped in a bath towel? Aren't you afraid someone will pull it and you'll be sleeping naked? Cecilia, you too, why don't you wear a nightgown? When we go on trips together, you always dress up completely and are wary of me if we book a twin room... Why don't you watch out for Bubu?

Siegfried was in a state of utter confusion.

At this moment, Cecilia seemed finally satisfied. She gently pulled the blanket up to cover herself and Brunhilde. Brunhilde seemed to resist a little, trying to get away, but Cecilia pulled her back in, tucking her completely under the covers.

Cecilia then broke into a smile, pulled down the top edge of the blanket to reveal his little head, and then, out of the camera's view, turned Brunhilde, who had been facing away from her, so that the little guy was facing her.

The movement was quite large; Siegfried swore Cecilia did it on purpose. But Brunhilde was still pretending to be asleep until Cecilia, with a seductive smile, pressed him face-to-face against her chest.

Siegfried briefly considered whether he might suffocate.

But Cecilia then revealed her genius idea: after holding the little Ragdoll cat in her arms, she tucked the boy between her legs and rolled around on the bed, making the blanket roll them both into spring rolls.

Now you can't pretend to be asleep anymore! You did it on purpose!

But Siegfried knew Brunhilde was definitely not going to wake up. He silently watched the two equally white-haired beauties embracing intimately, two small heads sleeping neck to neck on one side, and two pairs of little feet intertwined on the other. Cecilia kissed the boy's forehead and finally closed her eyes to sleep.

Then Brunhilde opened her eyes, looked at the pretty face so close to hers, and at the giant spring roll that had locked her and Cecilia up so tightly that they couldn't escape, and sighed silently.

Then I slept until dawn.

Nothing was said that night; Siegfried watched silently. The spring roll was wrapped so tightly that the rather childlike siblings slept cuddling like that all night. Sometimes Brunhilde, unable to breathe, would roll on top of Cecilia, and sometimes Cecilia would roll on top of Brunhilde, until finally, the two of them rolled around until they ended up under the bed—an angle the camera couldn't see.

But with such thick spring rolls, there was no need to worry about them getting knocked out. The two slept on the floor until dawn, only waking up after Shigure Kira knocked on the door and came in.

The blankets had been rolled around in so much that they were untied, and it took Shigure Kira and the two idiots a long time to finally free them. Siegfried observed for a while, and only after confirming that Cecilia and Brunhilde hadn't done anything beyond sibling affection during the few hours they were hiding from the cameras after falling off the bed did he feel relieved.

Her mood at this moment was completely different from before she turned on the surveillance video.

Siegfried placed his phone next to his pillow, biting his lip as he began to think.

She first calmed herself down. As a Valkyrie, she was not a woman who could be completely controlled by emotions. She was raised as a boy, so rational thinking was also necessary.

From a rational perspective, this video can almost verify many of her previous thoughts, except... except for being irrefutable evidence.

Cecilia and Brunhilde's relationship has indeed been strongly confirmed, but as mentioned before, this doesn't prove that they have any unspeakable connection. Brunhilde's upbringing has made her values ​​somewhat different from ordinary people, and the same is true for Cecilia. The fact that their behavior in this video is almost like that of a couple may simply indicate that they lack a sense of boundaries.

Moreover, there are indeed many doubts.

Cecilia's initiative was indeed a bit too much, but Brunhilde's behavior seemed less ambiguous. He neither refused nor cooperated from beginning to end.

If they were pretending not to cooperate because they knew there were cameras and didn't want me to find out... then Brunhilde and Cecilia shouldn't have shown me these things at all; they could have left the hotel and gotten a room.

Besides, Bubu has always respected and loved me. Before Cecilia came, I was his closest sister. It's impossible for him to be attracted to Cecilia in just six months and give up me, who has been with him for fifteen years... I'm no less than Cecilia.

Putting Cecilia aside, Bubu certainly doesn't have that kind of mentality...

It must be because the two of them got too close and became overly affectionate. They probably don't even realize how their behavior looks to outsiders, and the people around them... like me, have been indulging them without reminding them.

Yes, Shi Yu Qiluo didn't remind them, and Cheng Lixue came, but she didn't remind them either. The people around these two have never helped them develop a sound set of values; that's our irresponsibility.

If Cecilia really didn't care about me, why would she have gone on a whole month-long pre-wedding trip with me?

Siegfried pondered his next move. With his wedding to Cecilia fast approaching, should he confront Cecilia, criticize her, and tell her to distance herself from his brother? Or should he continue to pretend he didn't know, allowing them to maintain their close sibling relationship, only to subtly change them in the future until they realized their behavior was inappropriate?

Time passed by minute by minute.

Siegfried burned the fourth cigarette in the lady's hand; she didn't usually smoke, this was the first time.

He stubbed out his cigarette, took out his phone, and looked at the screen saver.

The screensaver features four white furry figures. Brunhilde, with a gloomy expression, is closest to the camera, only half of her face visible. Behind her, from left to right, are Claire, Cecilia, and herself; the three women each have their hands on the boy's left shoulder, head, and right shoulder, respectively, smiling brightly at the camera.

A rare family reunion.

Siegfried stroked the screen.

"What am I supposed to do with you all?" Siegfried pondered. "What about Bubu... what about my sister?"

----------------

The third day, which was also the last day before the wedding.

Cecilia woke up exceptionally early in the morning. She looked at the photos of her and Siegfried's pre-wedding trip that had been hung in the hotel living room, her mind heavy with thoughts.

She even wanted to avoid that gaze.

The hotel had actually been bought by the Kaslana family, so in a way it was already their own. Therefore, what would hang in the living room from now on might be her and Siegfried's wedding photos... Looking at this photo, Cecilia felt a pang of guilt.

"Good morning, Sister Leah."

Brunhilde followed closely behind, emerging from the bedroom with an air of nonchalance, though the hickeys on her neck still lingered. Meanwhile, in the other bedroom, Shigure Kira burst out, spotted them immediately, and burst into laughter, teasing, "Tone it down, Lady Cecilia. Do you even wear lipstick to bed?"

"Lip balm can prevent chapped lips, and Bubu prefers sweet kisses." Cecilia was a little embarrassed, but still assertive.

"Lady Cecilia, you'd better calm down. There are cameras everywhere here."

"Then why did you ask me!"

"Anyway, the camera doesn't record anything, so what we say... Siegfried can't hear us anyway." Shigure Kira chuckled, then wrapped her arms around the little ragdoll cat's neck and gave it a quick kiss on the cheek. With a little force, she wiped the kiss mark off his neck to avoid being noticed by the camera.

It's not a big deal to notice it.

"Take a shower and then cook. Wait a bit." Brunhilde wiped her face and went into the bathroom. "Get me my clothes."

"Alright, alright, young master, really, you and Lady Cecilia spent the whole night together and I still have to do your laundry." Shigure Kira shrugged, hands on her hips, then suddenly realized something and quickly turned around, "Wait, Bubu! Ritsuki just came back from her morning run and is taking a shower, wait a minute..."

Before she could finish speaking, Brunhilde had already gone inside, and all that came from inside was a calm female voice: "It's alright."

Shigure Kira shrugged. "Fine, I'll let Ritsuki have it easy."

Then she packed her things and went to find Brunhilde's clothes, but found that there were no changes of clothes in his room. She looked at Cecilia and asked, "Your Excellency, is Bubu's black outfit in your room?"

"No, Bubu was wearing a bath towel when she slept here the day before yesterday."

"That must be Li Xue's room." Shi Yu Qi Luo pushed open Cheng Li Xue's door and went in. She saw the neatly arranged dresses and Brunhilde's clothes on the bedside table and sighed, "They're all like this. They don't even help with the laundry after they're done. I, Qi Luo, have to take care of everything... I'm an A-rank Valkyrie, not your nanny."

"Um... I'm sorry." Cecilia said somewhat embarrassedly.

"I wasn't talking about you, Lady Cecilia! I'd be happy to help wash your clothes and Bubu's clothes, especially Ritsuki's! This is a first! What if I have to help with Salome's, Patrick's, and Shubu's clothes in the future? I'm only responsible to you, Lady Cecilia, and Bubu!" Shigure Kira shouted.

Chapter Sixty-One: The Valkyrie Circle is Truly Chaotic

The two of them filled a glass with water, moved some small stools together in the living room, squatted down, and began to wash their hands.

In the bathroom, Cheng Lixue was probably wiping the back of the little Ragdoll cat, with the sound of running water. Just then, Brunhilde's cool voice came from the bathroom: "Sister Lixue, haven't you eaten yet?"

There was a brief pause, followed by Cheng Lixue's cold laugh, and then Brunhilde's miserable wail.

Is this enough?

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant! I was just asking if you've eaten yet, Sister Lixue! Be gentle, be gentle!"

While washing clothes, Shiyu Qiluo smiled and said, "It seems that he and Lixue are both in a good mood."

"After all, there are no security cameras in the restrooms~"

Shigure Kira hesitated for a moment before saying, "Won't Lady Cecilia be jealous? We all got Bubu a little earlier than you."

"As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. I was worried you might mind."

“Bubu is a child of the Kaslana family, how could we possibly mind… Uh, but Lady Cecilia, are you really planning to hand over the Snow Wolf Squad to Brunhilde? He's a human whose strength isn't even up to the standard of an ordinary person, what will happen to us in the future…”

“You’re unwilling? You don’t want to be subordinate to an ordinary person?” Cecilia laughed.

"We..." Shigure Kira gritted her teeth, "Lady Cecilia, we do indeed like Bubu, but it's only based on lust. We can give him our bodies, but we can't entrust our lives to him. The Snow Wolf Squad is your Snow Wolf Squad. Even if you're willing to give everything for Bubu, we follow you, not Bubu. If I had to say, yes, everyone in the Snow Wolf Squad, including myself, doesn't want to be Bubu's subordinate."

Cecilia looked at Shigure Kira for a long time before nodding: "I know."

"Then you..."

“I never said I was going to abandon you. Making you all Bubu’s people was just a temporary measure.” Cecilia smiled calmly. “This was to pave the way for you to accept Bubu. After all, you all know that once I get married, the Snow Wolf Squad will have to disband. With a family, Siegfried and I will be the team, and we will no longer be able to have our own Valkyrie Squad.”

"So you want Bubu to take over us and then use Bubu to maintain the stability of the Snow Wolf Squad?" Shigure Kira asked in confusion. "But as you know, the captain of the Snow Wolf Squad will only be chosen from among us. Bubu doesn't have Honkai energy, so he can only be a logistics staff member."

“But we have the same man now,” Cecilia said softly.

Shi Yu Qi Luo was taken aback.

Then the two heard the groans from the bathroom lessen, probably because the scrubbing was over, while Brunhilde's soft breathing continued, accompanied by another familiar sound.

Shigure Kira and Cecilia both knew what it was, exchanged a glance, and gave each other a helpless smile.

It sounded like Cheng Lixue was at a disadvantage, but this A-level Valkyrie from Shenzhou still defiantly retorted in her hoarse, calm voice, "Haven't you eaten yet, Bubu?"

There was another brief pause, followed by Brunhilde's signature cold laugh.

"Okay."

Then came the sounds of Cheng Lixue splashing water and crying out. The crying was cut off by Brunhilde after only one sound, and no one knew what had happened in the bathroom.

Cecilia and Shigure Kira were already used to this, so they pretended not to hear and continued their conversation.

“What I want is not for someone to become the captain of the Snow Wolf Squad, but for the Snow Wolf Squad to continue to exist,” Cecilia said. “If I leave the Snow Wolf Squad, you will lose your common goal and will inevitably fall apart. But the Snow Wolf Squad should not fall apart because of me. Kira, we should always be together to resist those changes from above. For this, we need to be of one mind.”

"How can we be of one mind now that you're gone?"

“That’s why we need Bubu. Bubu will become the linchpin that connects the Snow Wolf Squad in my place,” Cecilia said. “He’s my man, and he’s yours too. We share the same treasure. Even if I leave the Snow Wolf Squad, you still have a reason to stay together with him. You know, the consequence of falling apart is that you’ll never see Bubu again… He’s a boy from the Kaslana family, you know how precious he is. Sharing him with you is a calculated move to bring you all to my side.”
