The elven girl didn't respond to him as he waited patiently, knowing she had never behaved this way before...
"I hope you're okay..." Rio said to her as She kept her silence and continued to ignore him...
The crimson-haired boy had learned one thing in this world, sometimes those who looked the happiest and made others happy with their vibrant sense of humor were actually the saddest from the inside...
The best example was Nyla who he married. She had a very sorrowful past and had a father who didn't love his daughter...
Her stepmother and step-sister caused her life to become hell with their toxic behavior yet the girl never failed to keep a joyous environment wherever she went and a lively smile was always present on her adorable face.
Today's conversation gave him foreboding that Eve was hiding something big in her complex heart for which she required his help...
Her silence was confirmation that she tried her best to hide it from him for now as she didn't want to slow down his progress and make it a rough journey...
Rio didn't get any response from her as he used his [Loot] skill to keep the mystic egg and lord beast's core inside the space of the wonderland forest...
He looked at Nyla who was sleeping on his spread shoulder, keeping her head on him as she was drowned in a beautiful dream.
'I should also take a nap...Lia is not here either and I don't have anything better to do right now...'
He decided to take a good rest as everyone was busy with their own business. He was free and hadn't slept for long...Hatching the mystic egg wasn't an option either since Eve said to open it near the girls...
Rio used his hands to guide Nyla closer to her as he hugged her to sleep...
It was a good feeling to sleep while beauty was near him whose body was aromatic like the orchids, gratifying his senses, and her smooth warm skin just enhanced the good resting experience to a higher realm…
Several hours passed…
His eyelid shook as he opened them, the window's curtains were drawn to make the room in dim light.
'Nyla isn't here...'
He noticed the magenta-haired beauty had already woken up and left the room.
The boy stretched his hands and got up from his bed to go towards the bathroom to wash up his face first.
After a few minutes passed, He came out and went outside the bedroom, fixing his clothes...
He couldn't find the girls in any of the rooms so he decided to go downstairs...
Rio saw maids were busy making noon meals for the empress and company.
Yami didn't notice him either as she was busy with her duty and instructing maids.
The boy walked out of the empress villa to travel toward the direction where he could feel Lia's location...
She was in the direction of the teleporter tower so he had to go through the castle first.
Sun was surrounded by dark clouds as it seemed to be raining soon. Asuras warriors dutifully guarded the places as usual.
'I probably slept for a few hours...It's afternoon here...'
Rio paced up his speed as he could see the oval-shaped building from where Lia's location was coming.
As he entered the battle arena he could see the white-haired beauty waving at him as she had already noticed him coming in her direction...
Inside the arena, Lia was sitting in the audience seat while two figures were fighting using their hands and legs...
Nyla and Helia were engaged in physical combat as it seemed Helia was giving her training to fight without using weapons or beast souls.
The magenta-haired beauty was attacking with different strikes and the lioness was dodging as they danced all around the places within the grass field. They were incredibly fast as they battled each other.
'Compared to how she trained me like a mad woman, she is very delicate with Nyla as if training a little kitty...'
Rio walked towards Lia with light steps so as not to disturb the two girls who were lost and fighting one another...
Their speed was enhanced using the mana but It wasn't hard for Rio to see their movement as his [Heaven's Eyes] slowed down their speed.
He went towards his lovely wife who was looking in his direction and sat beside her.
Rio conversed using his thoughts so as not to get others' attention, "For how long you guys are here?"
"An hour...When we returned I saw Nyla was already awake but you were asleep...So Helia brought her to train as she decided to make Nyla her partner in future adventures..." Lia explained using telepathy.
"I have a mystic egg that I want to hatch so I thought I should do it in front of you guys..." He told her his plans.
"Mystic egg? Let me see it..." Lia spoke, her voice had a hint of surprise.
Lioness and Nyla were still fighting and hadn't noticed Rio as they were focused on their opponent and a one-second distraction could make them lose easily. Moreover, the couple talked via telepathy so Nyla and Lionness couldn't hear their conversation.
The boy hovered his hand and an obsidian beast egg appeared that was covering his palm...
The girl frowned and asked with intrigued eyes, "How can you use spatial magic?"
"It's the skill of Eve...She has given me two of skills and may give more as I reach a higher stage..." he explained with a faint smile.
Lia took the mystic egg from his hand and caressed the surface gently as she inspected it...Her forehead had some wrinkles and her eyes looked amazed.
"What happened??? Is something wrong???" He asked, seeing
