"Orina, you should return and stay by mother''s side. You always like to pretend you are not her daughter. Yet we share the same blood, why do you always deny it?" Ci looked at her sister with sharp eyes while tapping the arm of her chair.


    "...It''s not like mother''s favourite would understand." Orina smiled slightly. "I''lle visit when I have time."


    Ci snorted, "Hmph, don''t need youing here!"


    "Hahaha!" Orinaughed lightly. "Don''t worry Ci, I''m sure I will be here often."


    "Pfft... you still dare to tease me?"


    "Of course. Why wouldn''t I? Besides, there are too many things that can happen in a lifetime. If I don''t tease you now, then when? But in reality... because of those knights your hot demon lover dealt with...


    I couldn''t speak well of mother, they are trying to remove her, even Runa has been making strange movements recently!"


    "Orina, stop speaking nonsense." Ci red at her sister and raised her voice.


    "But you will have to face the facts. You will discover the truth soon enough. However, because you were not around, no one could help her. Because her father is different, Runa couldn''t be epted because of ourws... Do you think that those sneaky old men will take advantage of that?"


    Ci was silent as she listened; her heart felt uneasy, and she did not know what to think.


    "You are not a child anymore, Ci, but you are still an idiot. If you want to remain an ignorant fool, then don''t think for yourself. But I will not leave her to them. That is all I can do for her. That is the least I can do. Even if mother is to hate me, believe me to be a traitor this was the only way to protect her from their extreme plots and tricks."


    "I understand... please keep mother safe, we will visit within the next six months."


    "You don''t need to say; we are sisters, after all. I know you are worried about her. Besides, that child is cute, she needs more time to grow and I''ll try and have her meet you. Though next time we meet, it will be as enemies once again, you understand right Ci... I won''t lose so easily next time!"


    "I don''t think you stand a chance, sister."


    Ci gave a gentle smile while gazing at her sister with a strange feeling of sadness.


    "Hmph, look at you, all smug. Just wait until the next meeting; I''ll have you kneeling before me. I hope that you will enjoy the food I prepare."


    "Oh? So you have learned to cook, sister? I have yet to taste any of your food; perhaps I will need stomach medicine?"


    "Hmph, you will see how good I am, Ci!"


    After that, the knights that she thought he killed all stood outside the door, with Ryuji facing them. Orina didn''t know what he did, but they told their hidden tasks and made Orina realise the council didn''t trust her and was just trying to use her to provoke Ci into resisting them, all so they could use that as an excuse to invade Grigor.


    Ryuji didn''t care about such things; he just wanted to deal with Ci''s worries, as he knew she would worry about her sisters and her mother if he did nothing.


    ***


    "Well then, Ar''Ci, I''ll be going now." Ar''Orina looked back at her sister onest time before departing with the knights, who changed, almost nothing like before.


    They didn''t act arrogant, except for the one that died. The others seemed to have transformed into pleasant young men as they bowed to Ci and Ryuji before heading back towards the city stables, where they left their mount.


    "My husband, shouldn''t we deal with them?"


    "No need, let them go." Ryuji didn''t care about those knights. They were not worth dealing with. The real enemy was the council itself.


    Also, thanks to his demon lord''s influence, those knights would never betray Orina again. Otherwise, the magic he ced inside their chests would devour their hearts.


    "But my husband..." Ci bit her lip.


    "Ci, we do not have the power to face the council right now, you understand. If you didn''t surprise your sister with that transformation it wouldn''t have been so easy to win... Though I think your new form is amazing and sexy."


    Ryuji ced his hand on Ci''s hips, pulling her into his embrace, enjoying her sweet scent that reminded him of honey and vani. He licked his lips while looking at his wife, thinking about enjoying a night together and the sweet taste of her skin.


    "My husband, shouldn''t we return to the mansion... you did say you would prepare me a room." Ci''s green eyes flickered as she smirked at Ryuji''s obvious acts of perversion.


    "Hahaha, that''s right, we can do thatter."


    "Then my husband, can you carry me, I''m quite tired from today''s events. My feet hurt."


    "Sure."


    Ryuji picked up his wife and began carrying her princess style, causing Ci''s heart to flutter. She only wanted to make a joke after working so hard, but it seemed along with the way he called her, Ryuji no longer held back his attraction and lust, as his hand started to wander over her body, stroking her skin, sending pleasurable shivers through Ci''s body.


    "My husband, don''t you think this is a little inappropriate to touch my ass... like this..." Ci blushed.


    "Haha, can''t help it, you''re too sexy, it''s hard to resist."


    "Pervert, you pervert!"


    "Hahaha!"


    Ryuji carried her like that back to the mansion; not only did the knights in the bazaar but many servants and others seemed shocked to see the sight.


    Some people gossiped and talked about the scene; some even felt envious, thinking that the beautifuldy was lucky to have such a handsome and caring lover, even more so when Ci turned her head and kissed Ryuji, not caring about the public disy of affection.


    Of course, two people were affected more...


    "Ryuji...?"


    "Ryu...?"


    Yumiko and Erika stood outside the mansion.


    They sensed his aura and rushed to the door to wait for him... only to see him carrying a beautiful dark elf in his arms, and her figure equal to them in all areas, maybe even more sensual.


    "Ah..."
