The lioness was fixing her silky blonde hair when she heard the footsteps and discovered a familiar figure appearing at the door.
"Nyla, you woke up very early...Do you feel any better today?" The blonde-haired beauty asked, her voice was warmer than how she talked to Rio and she was in her night dress.
"Yeaaa...today I'm much better. I don't know how I recovered this fast here but on earth, it would take a couple of weeks." The girl responded with her energetic style.
"We have better healers here so," Helia said, her voice flickered with pride.
"Rio and big sis is still sleeping so I thought to take a look outside as I was getting bored and found you're awake," Nyla spoke, a sweet smile was flashing on her vibrant face.
"If you want we can go to the city center today but only to the private shops owned by the royal family where we wouldn't face any sly foxes or important figures" Helia offered her as she saw the girl was in need of some fresh air.
"I thought we wouldn't be able to go until we get our etiquette lessons," Nyla said in puzzlement.
"As long as we only go to the few shops that are in our full control there shouldn't be a problem," Helia assured her in a relaxed tone.
"Oh...yeah...I don't have any dresses to go outing." Nyla said as she looked at her clothes that were casual clothing given by Lia.
"Don't worry about dresses. I have many that I never touched because I usually wear warrior suits. Moreover, After we go shopping today we can buy you new dresses." The lioness responded.
Helia wasn't reserved talking to Nyla and she was like another girl instead of her usual grumbling self.
"Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...Sister Helia...you're the best" Nyla cheered and yelled to praise her.
The girls continued their conversation about other things as women's talk was believed to be eight wonders of the world if they were together.
The next to wake up was Rio who didn't find Nyla beside her and went to check outside in worry where he heard the girls talking.
He came back to Nyla's bedroom and walked into the bathroom.
When he returned Lia was rubbing her eyes and had just woken up from her sleep.
"Wifey...Do you need anything?" Rio asked as he entered the bedroom.
"Yeah...I need you..." Lia nodded adorably and pointed her index finger toward him, her one eye was closed as she declared her morning demand.
"Okay...To have me you need to pay me with your enticing body..." Rio teased her in a calm tone as he approached her.
"I have another way to get you," Lia said, her eyes flickered with a mischievous glint.
"And what is that?" He questioned, raising his eyebrows
Lia grabbed his shirt and pulled him onto the bed with a firm grip.
"I can use force to keep Husband without paying anything," she said, her face had a coquettish smile.
"If someday I became stronger than you..." Rio spoke, didn't complete his sentence though, and just had a mysterious smile to tease her.
"Would you use force to pull me as I did and fulfill your demands?" Lia asked, her voice was serene.
"If someday I became stronger than you, I will still not force anything on you and moreover, if I really want something from you, I don't think Wifey would refuse me," Rio said, his eyes were gazing at her adorable face.
"I don't like you when you act so smart," Lia said with puffed cheeks.
"Do you have any plans for today?" Rio asked, pulling her left cheek as he was laying beside her.
"Ah...don't do that..." The girl pouted and continued, "my plan for today is to spend it with Husband but I need to freshen up first ."
Lia finished her sentences and tried to get up.
Rio grabbed her by the waist and pulled her in a hug, "Oh all mighty Lia Devlin, the empress of noble Asura race. Since you're so stronger to force me beneath you. Show me your strength and get free from my clutches."
He said to her as the boy declared an open challenge to the white-haired beauty.
Lia smiled and stopped getting away, she whispered, "I might be stronger but I can't defy your love. I would be here forever in your arms if Husband wants me."
"I can't even say I have fallen in love with you...since that happened a long time ago...Anyway you should really get ready before others come in..." Rio said, his eyes were filled with adoration as he released his grip on her waist.
Lia grabbed his cheeks with both hands and stared into his sea-green eyes.
She spoke, "This Lia feels as if I'm falling for Husband every day all over again. Yesterday when you came to comb my hair, I felt like I'm the luckiest person in existence to have a man like you as my partner.
In our Shamor Empire's culture, a husband normally goes on duty and brings wealth to their wife and family. But yesterday you made me realize sometimes the little things a partner does can give you bliss that can not be bought with money and that's irreplaceable.
You're the best husband, Rio...Thank you for mistakenly coming to this castle, marrying this spoiled girl, and not hating me even though I was not so nice to you. I was really a bad wife back then."
The white-haired beauty voice was flickering with heavy emotions as she described the deeper knowledge of relationships and bonding. Her heart was filled with warmth and affection for the person in front of her scarlet eyes.
"Don't think about the past...I'm blessed to have this spoiled girl as my wife." Rio said, kissing her forehead.
