The moment Fiat knelt down, the system issued a series of notifications, signaling a dramatic increase in his favorability towards Yaeger. “Ding! Fiat's Favorability towards you has increased by 10,000 points. He is now indifferent to you.” The announcements continued, indicating further increases in favorability, moving through various stages until he regarded her as a trusted person. Yaeger was initially surprised by the sudden surge in Fiat's favorability but soon realized it made sense, considering her life-saving intervention for Aurora.
Fiat, overwhelmed with emotion, cried out joyfully, "Sob... It's great, Aurora, it's so great!" Tears streamed down his face as he knelt on the ground. Aurora, still in shock, was taken aback by her brother's reaction. Seeing him crying like a child, she was momentarily dazed and utterly confused. ‘What... is going on?' she wondered, trying to make sense of the situation. Her confusion only grew as she contemplated the recent events. ‘Wasn't I just molested by [Princess]?' she thought, puzzled by her brother's celebratory demeanor. ‘Is he insane?'
Her thoughts were interrupted as she suddenly noticed her fair-skinned arm. Her pupils shrank, and her expression shifted from confusion to surprise. ‘This... Is this my hand?' she questioned herself. With a sense of disbelief, she lifted her hand effortlessly, still struggling to comprehend the changes she was experiencing.
"A lie... This must be a lie..." Aurora murmured, struggling to accept the reality of what she was seeing and feeling. "My hands, my face..." She touched her face with her hands, finding it soft and smooth, reminiscent of a freshly peeled boiled egg.
Yaeger, understanding her disbelief, handed her a round mirror. "See if you're prettier than before." As Aurora gazed into the mirror, she saw her nearly flawless face, first in daze and then in utter amazement.
A wave of blissfulness washed over her, an indescribable sense of happiness filling her heart. Yet, simultaneously, she was engulfed in fear and deep panic. "Is this... A dream... If so, please don't ever let me wake up..." she whispered, still unable to believe the incredible transformation.
Suddenly, Aurora felt a sharp headache, causing her to let out a cute scream. Yaeger calmly retracted her hand and asked, "Do you think it's still a dream?"
Ding! Aurora's Favorability towards you increased by 10,000 points, she is now a stranger to you.
Ding! Aurora's Favorability towards you increased by 10,000 points, she is now friendly to you.
Ding! ...
Eventually, the notifications indicated that Aurora and Yaeger had become close friends. Yaeger was slightly taken aback by this rapid increase in favorability, which was even higher than Kastina's.
Despite feeling very embarrassed, Aurora maintained eye contact with Yaeger. Her gaze, initially shifting, settled into a look of affection. Then, she spoke, "I... I do!" Yaeger blinked in confusion at this response. ‘You do what? If you agree, just say yes. If you say "I do", I might misunderstand!'
Meanwhile, Fiat was utterly stunned, feeling like a crystal lamp lit in the daytime—both meaningless and annoying. His excitement about his sister being cured was now tinged with bittersweet feelings. It was as if the sister he had raised was being snatched away by someone else. In his mind, he wanted to scream, "I oppose this marriage!" But he knew he couldn't challenge [Princess], not only because he was weaker but also because he owed her a massive favor.
On the bed, Aurora gently grabbed Yaeger's hand, saying shyly and excitedly, "From... From now on, I will be yours. Please take care of me!" Yaeger's mind was filled with confusion at this declaration. ‘What's going on here?' she thought.
Fiat felt a surge of sorrow, almost to the point of metaphorical blood vomiting. He realized that regardless of what happened, his sister was destined to leave him, a realization that filled his heart with sadness.
