"Let's move to the main topic now. I'll tell you things that Goddess should've told you. I'm the Monarch Beast who is assigned to look after the yellow stage beasts since a long time ago by the Goddess.
When I was brought into this world, I was destined to become the partner of someone who will conquer all the Monarch beasts. That person would either go through some hard trials or have to face a battle against the Monarch Beast to defeat them.
When you were born I have been informed that you are the chosen heir. Since I'm an apostle of peace, I needed to prepare a difficult trial for you which required me to keep a close eye on you and the important people around you.
But fortunately, you haven't disappointed me except for a few times." The orange-red-haired beauty said in a pleasant tone.
"So basically you were stalking all the people around me including myself." Rio narrowed his eyes at her, hearing her response.
He continued and asked, "But why me?"
"That you should ask the Goddess since she has restricted me to tell you right now. Just know you're her heir and for some reason Favorite too. Despite being a human, you need to take care of all innocents without discrimination.
From now on, you're my partner and I'll assist you, and listen to your fair wishes and requests since you passed my trial. Also, you need to help me take care of some problems that Yellow stage beasts might face from time to time in the future." Eve said in a nonchalant voice and stood up.
"Okay...Understood..." Rio responded to her in an unperturbed voice as he knew he would have his answers when the time comes.
"Rio, among all the Monarch beasts, you acquired me easily. Some of the Monarch wouldn't be as kind as me. They might want to take your life or defeat you because it's going to give them a bounty prize.
It was the same for me, If you had failed this trial then I would have been rewarded generously but I didn't want to do that. I even wanted that you win" She said in a quiet voice, a bittersweet expression shining on her ravishing face.
"What's your reason to reject the bounty prize and why you wanted me to win?" Rio asked while scrunching his eyebrows, a cold expression was flickering on his face.
The boy was aware of the saying that 'there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.'
"I won't tell you now." She said while looking at the ground in an adorable manner.
Rio said in a composed manner, "I hope you won't ask me something unreasonable in return."
"You can decide about that later. As your partner, I'll grant you my abilities that You will unlock as you ascend stages but before that, you need to provide me an offering of 20 yellow stages and 20 purple stage cores. Even yellow and purple stats orbs will be acceptable by this magnanimous lady." She told him while walking towards him with an enigmatic glint in her eyes.
Rio saw her advancing and was on his guard as the elf beauty neared him and stood in front of him.
"Be ready for the Fusing ritual." She said in a secretive tone and moved towards Rio's face.
Seeing the upcoming advancement approaching his way, the crimson-haired boy dodged by moving backward and going out of her way as he spoke, "Hey what you're doi...ff...mm"
Two dominating hands grabbed his cheeks and guided them toward her face as she sealed his warm lips with hers.

[Vigorous Osculate for the Fusion Ritual has been initiated]

He widened his sea-green eyes at this unforeseen development and tried to release free from the constrainment but the boy didn't have enough strength to resist the orange-red-haired beauty whose eyes were closed as if enamored in the gratifying moment.
An aromatic scent of orchid invaded his senses as featherly lips brushed past his. Her warm lips were roughly sucking his as if it was a delicacy to quench her thirst.
Soon she invaded his mouth with her pulpy tongue and tickled his which caused a flood of foreign energy to rush toward his body.
A roaring wind swirled around the forest as the flowers and trees swayed in the air as if dancing in joy for their new Master.
Scattered green luster rose from all the vegetation and ground of the wondrous forest as they sparkled in harmony. It started gathering at one place to make a hurricane of greenish rays before streaking towards the duo who were standing in front of each other while doing some important business.
Rio tried using his [Devlin's Movement Technique] to free himself from the confinement but it didn't work as the orange-red-haired beauty had strongly kept her grip on his cheeks.
Soon, the green light enveloped their figure as their body dyed in greenish radiance.
The boy's crimson hair grew to his shoulders length as a new power infused in his body which caused him to glow in white light and his [Devlin Transformation] activated on its own.
Rio's white hair, which was previously only the neck length, grew until mid-back size, making him look quite charming.
His right shoulder felt a burning sensation as the boy's clothes burnt, An orange flower tattoo appeared whose petals were closely arranged in an elegant manner.
Now the boy had a beautiful nature symbolic tattoo on both of his shoulders and they both indicated his connection to the Empress of Two dignified races.
A purple light enveloped his body as his core and root evolved to the purple stage which was the sign of his given mission being completed.
A few notifications rang in his mind that announced his advancement in power and forming a connection with his new partner
<<<<
[You have been Osculated by the Monarch Beast of Yellow-Stage. A mutual pact has been created.]
[Your Root has Advanced to the Purple Stage.]
[Your Core has Advanced to the Purple Stage.]
>>>>
Eve let go of his cheeks after enjoying the luscious kiss she had.
Rio finally got released from imprisonment and took heavy breaths as this sensual activity didn't let him take oxygen properly.
"Why did you do that?" He asked with an enraged tone, wiping his lips with the back of his palm with an embarrassed expression.
"Why shouldn't I? That's how the fusion rituals happen." Eve said in a coquettish tone.
"But..." Rio said in a vexed voice and was going to speak but he was interrupted by the Elven Girl.
"Don't worry about her. Even Lia feels burdened knowing she had married you while you already had a loving girlfriend.
Don't tell me you're going to push away Layla and not accept her when she comes to find you. Even Lia shouldn't have that right to reject Layla being your woman since it was a forced marriage at the beginning." Orange-red-haired beauty spoke in a serious tone.
Her words caused Rio's heart to shiver as he thought about the future if this really happened.
She continued, "Moreover, you are destined to have more than one woman so why can't I even kiss you for a simple fusion ritual? It's not like I am dying to have sex with you... Aishh...
It was just a kiss, Dummy. Your body and soul won't shatter into nothingness. Don't worry about it. You're doing this virtuous thing to support your wife, trust me."
She spoke in a flirtatious tone and winked at him in a vampish manner.
'This damn Monarch beast.'
Rio's face was flickering with coldness as he clenched his fist tightly.
Although it was a gratifying expression to receive a kiss but the lady did it without any warning.
"This mark on your shoulder would be a portal to this realm and connection to this Beautiful Monarch. It will help you to use my power, communicate with me and summon me whenever you desire.
Others won't be able to see this magnificent symbol that represents our romantic fusion.
Your face looks as if you wanna pound me on the bed. For that wild desire, you need to take permission from your wife first.
Hey, you don't have to get mad. I was just kidding.
I'll bid my farewell now since you need some alone time to control your immense affection for me. Bye Bye Partner, until the next time and I hope, you don't miss me, Muah ♡...."
Orange-red-haired beauty said in a seductive tone and a bright smile as she sent him a flying kiss with her right-hand gesture.
A white light enveloped Rio's figure and felt a pulling force from behind him that pushed him backward.
The blinding light faded away as he was thrown out of the Monarch Beast's wonderous abode and The place with green vegetation disappeared from his sight.
Rio discovered himself standing a hundred meters away from the Brightforest watchtower shelter.
"That Elven monarch...She is even more shameless than Nyla. That girl at least asked for permission before hugging me. Yet this lady..." He cursed the orange-red-haired beauty inwardly.
Rio was having a headache just thinking about how his new partner was a wily woman.
"I wonder what abilities I'll unlock once I give her enough cores of yellow and purple stages." The crimson-haired boy said while gazing into the distance.
