"Is that also a form of acknowledgnt that she accepts my promise? That’s fine. It doesn’t matter as long as Athena accepts as I am. I have to try more so as not to disappoint the trust Athena has placed in ." After regaining my thoughts, I started to prepare to clean myself and walked out of the room. I wasn’t too excited to et the master. But for myself and Athena, I will accept the training that woman gave .
As I was walking along the hallway in the castle, a woman walked past . The woman was the third sister of Athena and Shelia. When she walked past , she stopped and looked at .
"Brother-in-law? You... have you awakened your talent?"
The woman’s question made stop in my tracks. A small smile ford on my lips. Without trying to keep my face calm, I decided to confirm every word my sister-in-law said.
"That’s right. Sister-in-law, I have to go now. I hope you don’t mind my impolite attitude too much."
A strange expression appeared on the woman’s face. Standing silently, her eyes beca very sharp.
Her gaze seed capable of penetrating the deepest part of . Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on her face. Trying to avert her gaze from , the woman decided to ignore the vision she had just seen.
"Heilda, please don’t pay too much attention to . It’s rude." After hearing the words that ca out of my mouth, Heilda’s face showed embarrassnt. Even though she appeared calm on the outside, she was a woman who couldn’t control her nervousness when others realized her mistakes.
Pretending to cough, Heilda chose to hurry away from that place. After she left, a sigh involuntarily escaped my mouth.
I had previously wanted to ignore Heilda’s attempt to peek into the secrets within my body, but I decided to stop her actions. Even if Heilda beca aware of the secret power within my body, it wouldn’t make her co looking for trouble with .
After I entered the Dragon King’s family, I received full protection from every guard in the palace. But I don’t really trust the orders given by my father-in-law to protect . On the contrary, I assu that the guards don’t truly want to protect from the dangers that may befall in the future.
"This Lucien... since when did he break through to the Interdiate Dragon stage? That is simply unimaginable... Did I miss sothing the previous day?" While Heilde was deep in thought, her gaze involuntarily caught the figure of a brown-haired woman hiding around the corner of the palace hallway. Her expression turned unpleasant. This wasn’t the first ti Heilde had seen her older sister secretly following their brother-in-law.
mories of Shelia and Lucien being together half a year ago ca flooding back into Heilda’s mind. At that ti, Shelia had serious problems, so she was forced to complete every task their father gave her. But because of the help given by Lucien, Shelia felt comfortable when she was with him.
It wasn’t the first ti Lucien had helped Shelia and made her fall in love with him. That had happened more than a dozen tis due to the help he gave every ti they were together. In her entire life, Shelia had never once received help from her other sisters, let alone the servants in the palace.
All the tasks her father gave her were related to managing a city next to the royal capital. Each daughter of the Dragon King was given at least one territory to manage. But Athena was different. From the start, she was the rightful heir of the Dragon King.
Most of the activities carried out by Lucien involved walking and wandering around the palace. It was not uncommon for him to secretly complete the tasks given to Shelia by the Dragon King. For Shelia, the help provided by Lucien was, secretly, a form of genuine sincerity.
"Hey, Heilde. Don’t get in the way. Do you think I want to see you standing there blocking my view?"
"Sigh... Sister Shelia, aren’t you afraid that Sister Athena will find out about this? I suggest you give up right now. He’s only good because we are all part of Sister Athena’s family."
Shelia’s previously irritated expression turned blank. A chuckle escaped her mouth. Instead of reflecting on her mistake of secretly following their brother-in-law, her expression showed indifference.
"I’m not afraid. Lucien is too good for our sister. I really want him too..."
Patting her face, Heilde now looked half-dead. From her point of view, the conflict between her two sisters was a tense matter within their family.
Before Lucien entered the Dragon King’s residence, Athena and Shelia behaved like two sisters who got along well. But after Athena brought Lucien into their family, Shelia’s attitude toward Athena began to change over ti.
Everyone in the palace already knew about Shelia’s actions of secretly following Lucien. But none of them dared to rebuke her. After all, Shelia was the second strongest after Athena.
