The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor Chapter 98: Not Just One, You Know

"But I..."

"No need to say more, don’t rush. Take it step by step. We’ve already hugged and kissed today, what else won’t be yours later?"

Helena didn’t give Natasha a chance to speak, stuffing a piece of cake into her mouth.

Earlier, she had no appetite after witnessing so much bloodshed all day, but after Lynn freely enjoyed her sweetness, her appetite returned.

Mmm, eating until full is the only way to have energy for physical tasks. Don’t be so weak like just now, collapsing after only two moves...

"Mmmm mm mm mm!"

Natasha continued to protest, but Helena remained unmoved.

After a day of turmoil, she now felt exhausted and just wanted to fill her stomach before resting.

"Mmm... gulp, is there more? I’m not full yet."

Finally swallowing the cake, Natasha let out a sigh and opened her hand toward Helena.

"You can eat recklessly, but rember not to speak recklessly..."

When no one else was around and Lynn was away, Natasha stopped causing a fuss, allowing Helena to cautiously remind her.

"As for today’s events, don’t ntion a word to anyone. Even if your grandpa asks, you must say you don’t know, understand?"

As Helena spoke, she handed Natasha another piece of cake. Helena knew that Natasha understood what she ant. Natasha was far from as naive as she looked; calling her a little clever fox wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

"Of course, I understand! Enjoying the benefits in secret is best; keep a low profile while making a fortune!"

Natasha bit into half the cake, nodding with a grin.

Joining the team... What sort of divine skill or miracle could possibly divide the power of a divine gift?

And... the power bestowed by the Celestial Destiny Ancestral God today, is it really for (Helena)? I think not!

Both woman and dragon harbored similar thoughts, quietly eating their snacks, falling into silence.

...

...

anwhile, Lynn, who had left the Imperial Palace, raced all the way back ho, managing to return before night completely enveloped the land.

As expected, apart from the two adorable little ones waiting for their father to co ho, both Vivian and Xiya were present, but Catherine was still nowhere to be seen.

"Lynn, you finally ca back. Dad told today that you and Her Majesty Helena are really amazing."

As soon as he entered, an orange cat charged right at him, wriggling its plump body up onto his shoulder with difficulty, and turned around to beckon its owner.

Seeing Vivian walking towards him with the cat, Lynn extended his arms for a hug. After a few murmurs, albeit a bit shyly, she fulfilled Lynn’s wish and nestled in his arms for a mont.

Then, Lynn almost had an awkward mont...

"There’s the scent of other won, and not just one."

Vivian whispered in Lynn’s arms, apparently worried that Xiya might hear.

"Uh..."

Lynn was at a loss for words. Indeed, he lacked experience, forgetting that won in love have noses sharper than Little Yuna’s. He had just hugged Helena and Natasha, forgetting to wash up and change clothes before returning.

"It’s alright, it’s quite normal for capable n to have many won. You don’t need to feel uneasy about it."

Noticing Lynn’s discomfort, Vivian quickly mumbled softly in his arms again.

Thanks to the aristocratic upbringing, Vivian was indeed open-minded in this regard. Lynn had to thank the decadent daily lives of nobles, which allowed such a gentle girl like Vivian to easily accept that her boyfriend also had other girlfriends.

But Xiya was different. It’s said that the Elf Race advocates monogamy, a rarity on the Divine Protection Continent. They are devoted, usually having only one partner in their lifeti, and even if a partner passes away, it’s rare for them to remarry or seek another. They are known as the continent’s most affectionate.

"If it were soone else, and they kissed then went to flirt with other won, I would have removed their guilty tool from the roots. But since it’s Lord Lynn, there are privileges."

Vivian had deliberately avoided Xiya, but the observant Elf girl still noticed sothing was off. She approached with Little Flower, placing the cat on Lynn’s other shoulder symtrically with the other cat, giving Lynn an assessing glance with her beautiful erald eyes.

"You’re actually very nice."

Lynn responded with a cheeky grin.

"First of all, I’m not human; I’m an elf. Secondly, this is what you deserve. I’m not conflating love with gratitude, but thanks to gratitude, you might receive more tolerant love."

Xiya’s nose wasn’t as sensitive as Little Yuna’s, nor did she lean in close to inhale like Vivian, but she could sense the mixed life auras on Lynn. One was dignified and domineering, likely from a mber of the Divine Blood Nobility, while the other was fiery, not from a Fire Mage but perhaps from a fire elent beast.

There were quite a few in Celestial Destiny City fitting these two life auras, but those who could be close to Lord Lynn might only be that pair of foreign best friends, the cross-country sisters.

"So, are you admitting you’ve already fallen for ?"

Lynn seized on Xiya’s words, reaching out to hug her too.

However, Xiya deftly sidestepped his slow embrace, incidentally rescuing Vivian from Lynn’s arms.

"Elves never lie. I first accepted you as my partner in my heart, then tried to develop feelings for you... So far, there’s been so progress, but it’s not enough."

Releasing Vivian, Xiya curtsied elegantly to Lynn, locking eyes with him with her clear and bright gaze. She spoke honestly to the man she had chosen, following her heart.

She hadn’t refused his kiss before because she had already decided he was her partner, but her feelings for Lynn hadn’t yet matured into love. There was definitely affection, but the kind of eternal love expected in the Elf tribe, ant to last millennia, isn’t easily established or secured.

"I... I’m not like Sister Xiya. I don’t have as much determination. If you say you’re my boyfriend, then I’m your girlfriend. But Vivian isn’t a casual girl; I really do like you a lot to be this way. I don’t know why I fell for you so quickly; we haven’t even known each other long. But when I see the cat snuggling with you, it feels like we’ve t countless tis in dreams..."

Hearing Xiya’s bold and candid expression of her feelings, Vivian also mustered the courage to softly confide in Lynn about her current emotions. Her ek and shy deanor reminded Lynn of when he first t her in the ga.

That was ten, no, eleven years ago, when Vivian was eight. She had the sa foundation she has now but hadn’t matured yet. Unlike Little Youli, who was cutely famous, Vivian wasn’t as widely known as Catherine or Little Youli back then.
