"Even if I die this will only benefit you so why are you worrying about this problem?" Rio asked as a mysterious glint flickered in his eyes.


    The boy wanted to see her reaction after discovering her true emotion previously when she mentioned she thinks he hates him.


    "Because you''re Lia''s Husband and I can''t see her sad," Helia said but her voice was shaking, revealing she wasn''t being totally honest.


    Rio sighed as he saw how the girl didn''t want to show she was concerned about him. It was better for him if she didn''t want to face these emotions. The boy believed there was still a barrier between them which made it hard for them to ever have romantic chemistry.


    He didn''t stick to the same topic any longer and spoke, "I knew you could handle the lord beast so I took the risk, trusting in your strength. If it was really dangerous and that perilous to put N''s and Your life in any threat I wouldn''t have tried it. Also, I wanted this longevity nt for my wives."


    ''Your Life...''


    Helia became silent at his sweet response which was showing he cared about her and the girl didn''t continue to argue with him.


    An hourter, N''s eyes fluttered open as she found herselfying on the bedding, in an open sky. She felt as if someone had hit her in the head as herziness flew away.


    "Argh..." Holding her head, she groaned in pain.


    "Your heads aching too?" Rio questioned, sitting near the tree trunk on her left side.


    "Yes, How do you know?" N spoke, scrunching her face, and asked in puzzlement.


    The boy indicated to her other side and the girl''s head turned to the right side as she saw Helia lying beside her and resting peacefully.


    "What happened to us? I don''t remember much." The Magenta-haired beauty said as she didn''t have her memories from intoxicated stats either.


    Rio narrated the same half-truth he told to Helia and told her how she ended up here.


    "When do you wanna return?" He asked, gazing at the blue sky.


    "I don''t wanna travel with this headache," N said with puffed-up cheeks as the intoxication from earlier left a tormenting aftereffect.


    "Let''s rest for a day here then we will return back." The duo heard the blonde-haired beauty''s voice chiming in between their conversation.


    Helia was pretending to sleep, avoiding Rio and resting at the same time but when she noticed N was awake she decided to wake up.


    "Alright." Rio nodded.


    After resting for a day, they prepared to return back to their home to the castle. On the way, they didn''t rest much and rode the demon-tail wolf to go back to their shelter at Requiem Isle.


    On the Ninth day after they left for the Laughing alligator beast, they finally entered the Empress Vi.


    It was Noon and Lia wasn''t present, Trio went to their respective rooms to clean up. N wanted to bring Rio along with her but he went into his old bedroom to take a shower in order to avoid her berserk shameless mode.


    Thirty minutester, he wasying on N''s bed as he went to sleep, hugging the magenta-haired beauty in a warm embrace.


    They barely slept on their journey back to the castle as they were hurried to return to their home.<novelnext></novelnext>


    In the evening, His eyelids shook and opened, turning to notice that N wasn''t present on the bed.


    He washed his face before going towards Helia''s room from where he sensed Lia''s presence, The Asura Empress had returned.


    As the girls heard the footsteps, They turned around in the direction of Rio, and all of their hearts brightened seeing him enter the room.


    Helia and Lia were sitting on one sofa and N was alone on the opposite, giving him a lively smile.


    Rio walked and took his seat beside N, he gazed at Lia before saying, "We have three days left before the tournament starts."


    "What are you going to do in these three days?" Lia asked, her scarlet eyes expectantly looking at him.


    "I have some ns, I would rather keep secret." He mumbled, trying to tease her beloved wife.


    "Okay, I also have some ns for the night too when youe to sleep," Lia said in a threatening tone. She wasn''t going to let him bully her but rather take the reign and teach him a lesson.


    "Hey, I was thinking I would rather sleep in N''s room today," Rio spoke casually, Knowing what ns Lia had. She was definitely going to give him painful bites for making ns without her and keeping it secret from her.


    "Then N shall also witness this today. I am also inviting Helia so she could learn some skills for a brighter future," Lia said, an evil and mischievous glint shing in her scarlet eyes.


    ''Now when she mentioned the Lioness, it makes more sense. No wonder she sold me out to her sister in her childhood.''


    Rio sighed inwardly, thinking his wife wanted to train Helia too for her future endeavor to bully him as a wife which might never happen, given their current half-sour rtionship.


    "You''re no good, teaching these kids bad things." Rio shook his head, acting as how bad an influence she was on these girls.


    "Hey, Whom are you calling kids?" Helia asked in a grumbling tone, her old fierceness had returned.


    "If you''re going to join her in her teaching to Bully this virtuous gentleman then I''m calling you a kid too," Rio said as he didn''t falter from his statement.


    Looking at Lioness, The boy remembered something and asked in his thought, "Eve, Can you give me the fruit that''s grown on Baby''s Tears Longevity nt."
