True to her word, the old dragon returned Noa’s body to the sisters' room just ten minutes before the two-hour limit.

“See? I am a dragon of my word.”

“Haha… How do I know this isn’t just you trying to earn my trust?” Noa replied with skepticism. “It’s like borrowing money: first, you borrow a hundred gold coins and pay it back; then you borrow two hundred and pay it back. But the third time, you borrow a thousand, only to take off with it.”

“How dare you! Comparing me to some swindler! I never break my word, nor do I owe anyone anything!” the old dragon huffed, indignant.

Ignoring the rebuttal, Noa continued their banter until they reached the room. They carefully turned the door handle and tiptoed inside, gently closing the door to avoid waking the two sleeping sisters.

Once inside, the ancient dragon said, “Alright, I’ll return control of your body now.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Noa took off her shoes, resuming control of her body. But just as she turned around, her vision went dark, as if a black cloth had been pulled over her head.

Startled, Noa tried to defend herself.

However, a sudden, forceful blow landed on her head, leaving her dazed and unable to resist.

Even the strongest young dragon can’t withstand a sneak attack, and neither could Noa.

Just before losing consciousness, she heard two familiar voices.

“Little Light, if we’re wrong about this, big sister will definitely make us pay for it.”@@novelbin@@

“Don’t worry, trust me, second sister.”

As she drifted off, Noa muttered faintly, “What are these two dummies up to…”

When Noa finally woke up, the room was dimly lit. She glanced at the window, where the darkness and faint moonlight suggested it was still far from dawn.

With a shake of her head, her mind cleared, and she looked down, realizing she was seated on a chair.

Trying to move, she found her wrists bound behind her to the chair’s back, unable to budge.

The ropes were tight, and the texture felt slick against her skin.

Looking up, she saw her two adorable little sisters standing before her.

“Moon… Little Light, what are you doing?”

Moon took a step forward, cupping Noa’s face in her hands with a serious expression.
