Helena Wants to Grow Bigger

Emily stared at Helena in shock. "Sister Helena... you're joking, right?"

Seeing Helena's unchanged expression, Emily's eyes widened into perfect circles. "So, you really imprisoned your own brother?"

"Yes," Helena replied, unsure why Emily was reacting so strongly. "And I almost succeeded too."

Emily was utterly stunned.

She quickly followed up with another question, full of confusion. "But why would you do that? Did Luo Wei do something wrong?"

Helena smiled sheepishly. "I don’t even know what I was thinking back then..."

"But..."

She looked down at Emily, who was much shorter than her. "Since we’re both aberrations, you must understand that feeling, right?"

"What feeling?" Emily asked curiously. "The backlash?"

Helena quietly reminisced. "That sudden shift... when you’re not yourself anymore. Your mind gets consumed by rage, and everything becomes so extreme. When I saw my brother talking to other women, I wanted to kill them all!"

Emily shuddered, suddenly feeling a pang of fear.

She had glanced at Helena’s brother a few times earlier...

"And..." Helena’s recollection wasn’t over. "Sometimes, seeing him get along so well with others made me unbearably sad. It felt like he was slipping away, like he didn’t belong to me anymore. So, I just wanted to hide him away where no one else could see him..."

"Are these... really the kinds of thoughts you had?" Emily grew even more intrigued. "What about Luo Wei? He couldn’t have been okay with that, right? What if he resisted?"

Helena’s serene expression twisted into something terrifying.

"Then I’d chop off his arms and legs! That way, he’d never leave me!"

Emily jumped in fright.

Meanwhile, Luo Wei, who was chatting with the duchess on the other side of the room, suddenly felt his hair stand on end.

What’s going on? Why did Helena’s corruption level spike just now?

The two girls were getting along fine earlier—did Emily say something to upset her?

He quickly glanced back and saw the pair huddled together, whispering animatedly. They didn’t seem to be arguing at all.

Luo Wei frowned and turned back around.

Helena peeked at her brother cautiously, relieved he hadn’t noticed anything.

"Sorry about that..." She gave Emily an apologetic smile, seeing how scared she looked. "I don’t know what came over me. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt like that..."

"You were so scary just now..." Emily said, still shaken.

Helena’s face fell, returning to its usual gentle demeanor.

"Those were just my old thoughts. I wouldn’t do that now..." She sighed bitterly. "Lately, I’ve been wondering if I went too far back then. Maybe that’s why my brother keeps his distance from me..."

Emily noticed the regret in her expression and tried to cheer her up. "But I think Luo Wei is really kind to you! It doesn’t seem like he dislikes you at all. Don’t overthink it!"

"You don’t get it! You don’t!" Helena’s face scrunched up in frustration. "The way he treats me is different from how he treats them! I can tell! I’d rather he didn’t act so gentle if it means he’d really see me!"

Hearing this, Emily’s eyes flickered with understanding. She sighed in shared frustration.

"Yeah... They all treat us like little sisters. Even Sister Monica is the same..."

"It’s so annoying!"

Perhaps out of solidarity, Emily clenched her tiny fists, eager to encourage Helena.

"So! Sister Helena! You can’t stay like this! You have to take action—no more hesitation!"

"Then what should I do?" Helena’s eyes lit up as if she’d found her guiding light. "Emily, teach me!"

Emily smirked triumphantly, instantly transforming into a self-proclaimed "love expert." "Like I said before—you need to take the initiative! Make sure your brother understands your feelings!"

"But I have tried taking the initiative..." Helena groaned. "It worked before, but now I can’t even beat him in a fight!"

Emily gave her a deadpan look. "Does your idea of 'taking the initiative' always involve dismembering Luo Wei? What kind of twisted love is that? Why not just show him your charm?"

"My... charm?" Helena blinked blankly.

"Exactly!" As Helena’s self-appointed strategist, Emily decided it was time to enlighten her. She discreetly glanced at Evelyn.

"Since your brother likes Sister Evelyn... there must be something special about her that draws him in. That’s what you need to learn!"

Emily scrutinized Evelyn carefully.

Finally, her gaze landed on Evelyn’s chest.

"Mm-hmm! That’s it!"

She turned back to Helena’s modest chest and shot her a disdainful look.

"So tiny."

"Men love big breasts! Your brother must be into Sister Evelyn because of that!"

"If you were as well-endowed as her, I guarantee he wouldn’t ignore you!"

"Oh..." Helena blinked. "Is that really it?"

Emily nodded vigorously.

"But..." Helena groaned again. She’d been trying so hard—drinking milk, eating papayas—but nothing worked. Some things just couldn’t be helped...

Yet, watching her brother flirt with that vampire across the room, Helena couldn’t take it anymore. She refused to stay invisible! She had to do something!

She made up her mind—

"Emily..."

"Look at me again. Do I look different now?"

Emily’s eyes locked onto Helena’s chest, and her jaw dropped.

In less than a second, it had grown so much bigger!!

"Sister Helena, you—"

"Still not big enough?" Helena’s cheeks flushed as she adjusted another size up.

Now it was even larger.

Emily quickly waved her hands. "Stop, stop! You’re about to burst out of your dress!"

Helena hastily shrunk back down.

Amazed by what she’d just witnessed, Emily asked, "Sister Helena, what are you? Some kind of shapeshifter?"

Helena giggled. "What? No! I’m a high-tier aberration!"

Emily gazed at her enviously. "I wish I could do that too... I want to grow up faster..."

"I can’t keep it like this forever, though," Helena admitted helplessly.

Maintaining her form with supernatural energy for too long would trigger backlash. Even though she no longer had to worry about turning into a grotesque monster—thanks to her brother—he’d definitely notice if she kept this up...

The mere thought of her brother discovering her secret attempts to enhance her bust made Helena want to crawl into a hole out of sheer embarrassment...

Still, no matter what, Helena felt deeply grateful to Emily. Though it was just a few words of advice, it was as if Emily had opened the door to a whole new world for her.

She could already see the dawn breaking—the day when her brother’s eyes would be filled with nothing but her!

How thrilling!
