Hearing the white-haired beauty's statement, Rio was taken aback. Lia had already thought things thoroughly and knew he would never want Nyla to be his slave.
Who wouldn't develop a soft spot or affectionate-filled feelings if someone sacrificed themselves to protect you? Would he be able to bind that poor girl to such a blood contract and slave her after what she had done for him?
As far as Lia knew, Rio wouldn't have agreed to bind this girl to a blood contract even if Nyla hadn't saved his life.
"Are you okay sharing your husband with others?" Rio directed the question to the white-haired beauty as he knew how hard it was for someone to share their partner.
"As far as I know, I'm also the girl who should ask your first woman Layla if she accepts me or not but our Fate let me become your first wife.
Heaven wouldn't forgive me if I separate her from you. Our marriage was a forced one and In true definition, Layla is your first wife who took care of you like a dotting mother.
However, I also wouldn't want that you leave me as you are mine, and I'm not going to compromise with that." Lia's voice was flickering with heavy emotions, as sharing her husband with another girl was very difficult for her to do.
The white-haired beauty didn't want to share Rio with others but in childhood, she already agreed to her sister Helia's wish to marry the same husband as her.
At that time she never imagined the boy from a foreign land would become her most precious darling who she wouldn't want to share.
But fate wanted something else as the person she married already had a person in his heart with whom he was closely bonded.
Moreover, their marriage was a forced one so Lia felt wrong for keeping her husband for herself since she wasn't even his first woman.
Unless she became dictator and wanted to have Rio for herself with force it was not possible to not allow other girls to be around him which includes Helia, Layla, and Nyla.
If she became selfish she would hurt Helia as well as Rio and it would also be morally wrong to steal him from Layla. So in the end, she took a step back and let him marry Nyla.
"For me, you will remain my ideal wife who I'll treasure forever. As for Layla, she is my first love. You and Layla are an inseparable part of me. I'm incomplete without both of you." Rio said, ruffling her hair with one hand as the other was placed on her palm.
Helia said, "So you are a playboy? Having so many girls to chase after you and hurting them."
The lioness stared dagger at Rio as she didn't like him marrying another girl but it was a decision made by her own sister. Even Rio questioned his wife why she agreed to it.
Helia had calmed herself after hearing the couple's conversation although she didn't understand who was this Layla.
Nyla didn't notice the new person as she was dazed because her dream was coming true.
Rio glared at Helia and didn't say anything.
"Start the holy oath," Lia said to Nyla who was smiling ear to ear.
The lively girl woke up from her joyous thinking to follow the instruction.
"Yes, big sister... I, Nyla Mailon, pray to god to take Rio as my husband and swear on mana, blood, family, ancestors as well as heaven that I will love my sweetheart dearly and support him in difficult times.
I would be happy in his glory and take care of him if he is sick. I will never betray Lia Devlin as well as my darling husband Rio and come between them to steal him from my beautiful big sister Lia." Nyla spoke in a vibrant voice as she took the holy oath to become Rio's wife.
The white-haired beauty and lioness both were amazed to hear her sweet-coated oath while the boy was used to her jolly side.
"Now kiss our hands to finish the oath," Lia said in a composed manner.
"Does it have to be hands?" The magenta-haired beauty asked in puzzlement.
"No, but..." Before Lia would finish her sentence, Nyla moved to kiss Rio's cheek before giving a peck on Lia's as well.
The duo was dazed as this brazen girl kissed both their cheeks.
A light shone around them and a warm sensation entered the trio's bodies. The leaf on Rio's left shoulder and Lia's right one started changing as a new green petal formed beside it.
Similarly, the tattoo appeared on Nyla's right shoulder as well but there was only one leaf on her.
Nyla took unprepared Lia in a hug and shouted in joy, "I love you, Big sister...you're the best..."
Lia gave a forced smile as she was embraced by the girl.
a few seconds later, Nyla let go of her.
"Haha...sorry I am too happy so felt like hugging you because you're an angel for me," Nyla mumbled in an embarrassed tone.
"It's alright," Lia spoke as she was getting used to her new playful family member.
She moved to inspect their tattoos and looked at Nyla's right shoulder, "It seems you were also blessed by heaven to become Rio's wife."
"Can she also talk with us?" Rio asked in thought.
"I can already feel her presence. Nyla, can you hear us?" Lia spoke via telepathy.
"Whao...we can now talk in our minds?" Nyla's amazed voice sounded in their thoughts.
They could talk to Nyla but only when the duo desired, otherwise they could keep their conversation private.
"Yeah..." Rio responded to her in a casual manner.
