"There's no way I'm doing that!"
Not to mention that Cynthia was too lazy to work hard to earn rewards, she had always considered herself above all of Emilia's little slaves. If she really complied with Emilia's demands on this, wouldn't she be just like them?!
Emilia chuckled as she felt her partner's frustration. "Well, you're right. It's not right for me to make you work hard for rewards."
Her partner scoffed. "Hmph. It's good that you understand!"
Emilia smiled. "In fact, it's the opposite. It's my honor to be serving you, Cynthia."
Cynthia puffed out her chest with pride. "Isn't it? Fufu… well, don't worry, we're partners, I won't treat you poorly!"
Emilia giggled. "So, since I'm so grateful, I will work hard to complete the missions first, only then do I deserve to serve you properly with a song."
The emerald-eyed girl nodded. "Un, un… wait a minute, I've been scammed?!"
Seeing her partner's appalled look, Emilia tried her best to not let her amusement show. "What are you talking about? Doesn't it make perfect sense?"
Cynthia scoffed. "Don't try to fool me, Emilia! Even if you think of serving me with a song as an honor, isn't it alright to do it now if I ask?"
Emilia shook her head, still looking completely serious. "Not at all! Rewards lose meaning if they are given without reason. For example, even if I think Sam is adorable, I always find a reason to reward her first. If I start doing it without reason, she won't feel as motivated, and she won't be as happy with the rewards either. After all, they're the sweetest when she's earned them, right?"
Cynthia thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure out what was wrong with Emilia's words at all. "Hmmm… This is making my head hurt… I'll go sleep. Bye."

After putting Samantha to sleep and 'placating' her partner, Emilia decided it was time to take a shower to clean herself up before anything else. Just like saliva, her body could also secrete sexual fluids, and she had been feeling a little strange ever since Dixie's 'massage'.
Playing around with Crystal and Samantha had only made it worse, and Emilia realized that she needed to cleanse both her body and mind before she truly went crazy and had to look for someone to vent her feelings.
Just because she was frustrated, Emilia didn't wish to inadvertently enter a relationship with someone she didn't like, after all. And if she sought someone out just out of lust, that would put her in a very bad position.
Emilia had a very strong sense of responsibility, to the point where many in her kingdom had blamed her for being too uptight in the past. Even when some of her selected 'talents' had proven themselves to be incapable, she refused to discard them after picking them up.
After all, she was the one who had brought hope into their life when there was none, so how could she be the one to snuff it out? Since she made a decision, it was her responsibility to bear its consequences.
Emilia knew herself best, and she knew that she would never be able to 'give up' on someone she had slept with. If she really ended up with someone like Maeve all over again, she just knew she would be devastated.
After all, even if she managed to get rid of them physically, they would forever continue to haunt her heart, and it wasn't something Emilia was willing to endure again if she could help it.
Of course, cleaning herself only reduced her frustration a little, and she gave the sleeping form of Samantha a wistful look before leaving.
These days, she had been feeling like she had far too many options, and none at all, at the same time.
Samantha, for example, seemed to desire her greatly, but Emilia didn't know the true extent of her desires. After all, the older girl didn't know that Emilia was an alien, and they weren't related to each other at all.
After all, no matter how much she doted on 'her', as long as Samantha thought of herself as a 'blood-related sister', there was a limit to how far she would be willing to go. And if it wasn't far enough, Emilia would never be satisfied anyway.
Plus, even if she had been incredibly turned on by Dixie and Crystal, and Samantha was fully willing, Emilia knew that it was impossible to 'do anything' with the girl for real unless she revealed her real identity due to her own reasons as well.
And revealing her true self to Samantha was still a risk that Emilia felt wasn't worth taking. There was no way to know how much of Samantha's affection was for herself, and how much of it was for Danielle instead.
Emilia would never mess up her priorities due to sexual frustration. Since there was no way to know, she would rather tread with caution.
Of course, Emilia also knew that she couldn't keep enduring forever. "But Cynthia wouldn't let me do anything, Dixie already rejected going further, and Crystal is… well, she already unconsciously bit me just for a deeper kiss, I doubt she'll feel comfortable going further. It's not right to force her, mhm. Samantha… is impossible too. Ahhh! I'll go crazy!"
Cynthia, who had been roused from her 'slumber' when she heard Emilia mention her name, couldn't help but groan. She didn't know what Emilia mentioned before, but she heard the latter part, and understood that her partner was just having those disgusting 'mating issues' again. "Why are you thinking like a horny monkey? There's no need to—"
Emilia suddenly had a revelation. "Monkey… monkey… that's right! Isn't there still Koko?! Mhm, and not to mention there's Noelle as well! Probably not her, unless I can really make that date work… Ah, it's not hopeless, after all!"
