Helia's thoughts raced, "Will there ever come a day when he hugs me like that?," while Eve pondered internally, "I can't help but feel envious, but I just need to be patient and wait for my turn."
Helia's gaze met Eve's, and their eyes locked. Helia thought, "I know we're both thinking the same thing – we wish we could be the one he hugged. But it seems we have to wait for our turn, especially you, who has yet to become his wife. I suggest you shamelessly make your way into his life, or you'll end up waiting forever if you expect him to come to you and confess."
Helia's face turned red as she realized Eve could read her thoughts and desires, even though they had just met. Flustered, Helia pretended not to hear Eve's words, quickly lying down and hiding her face behind the blanket.
Eve's giggle rang out beside her as she, too, lay down on her bed.
Soon, they all drifted off to sleep, oblivious to the world outside.
As morning sunlight filtered through the windows beside Lia's bed, Rio slowly opened his eyes, awakening to a new day.
The golden rays painted the room in a warm hue, casting a soft glow on everything it touched. Through the windows, he could see butterflies and elves dancing gracefully around the rainbow trees, their vibrant colors adding an enchanting charm to the scene.
To Rio's surprise, he found himself alone in the room. The beds were neatly arranged, indicating that he was the last one to wake up.
Faint voices drifted in through the partially open door, confirming that there were others in the grand hall.
Upon entering the grand hall, Rio found Nyla instructing Eve on using the magic pot for cooking. He was immediately struck by how stunning Eve looked in one of Nyla's dresses, as opposed to her usual revealing clothing.
The dress accentuated her curvaceous body, hugging her rounded bosom and highlighting her alluring curves. It was a tantalizing sight for Rio, as the outfit seemed to fit her perfectly, exuding a mix of elegance and sensuality. Nyla's big heart and friendly nature in lending her clothes to Eve had resulted in a captivating transformation.
Internally blaming himself, Rio mumbled, "I forgot to buy a dress for her again..." He sighed, remembering that he had intended to purchase new clothes for Eve but had somehow forgotten amidst their recent adventures.
As they stepped out of the villa, their eyes were met with an unsettling sight. In the middle of the garden stood a woman with silver hair, her back facing the villa. From just the sight of her back, Rio could sense the woman's beauty.
Her silver hair cascaded down in loose waves, almost reaching her waist, shimmering in the sun's gentle rays. Her figure was slender, with curves in all the right places, making her appear both alluring and dangerous simultaneously. He noted that she was similar in height to Lia, but her posture exuded confidence and power.
The sight that truly shocked them, however, was that of Emperor Dylan, bound to a chair directly in front of the mysterious silver-haired woman.
Sensing their presence, the mysterious woman turned around, her face lighting up with a sinister smile. In a sickeningly sweet voice, she greeted them, "Welcome back, Your Highness. How was your trip?"
