As they finished their tea, Nyla went back to take a happy nap as she was all awake when it was night in the land of Asura.
Helia and Lia had to go outside the Empress Villa to attend to some important matters.
Rio was all alone and was laying down beside the magenta-haired beauty as she was sleeping using his shoulder as her comfy pillow.
The boy was busy reading his profile stats and skill descriptions to understand them better, remembering all the events that happened up until now...
Not only he had gone on an adventure with new friends but they wiped out fighting a lord beast. He even gets to see how someone else sacrificed themself to protect him who ended up becoming his second wife...
Meeting Kyra and Nyla's Grandma was another new experience for him as they were both different kinds of people. If one was a sly witch then another was a soft-hearted woman. He got to see the various colorful shade of the world as it was filled with different types of people who were poles apart.
"Oh...I almost forgot about that lord beast's mystic egg." The boy mumbled inwardly as he remembered that Eve had helped him to keep it when he and Nyla were deep in the forest after killing the Giant shadow viper fox.
"Hey Eve...When can you give me the mystic egg that you retrieved from Lord beast's corpse?" He inquired via thought and could talk to her by just thinking about her as it made a connection between the two to converse through that tattoo.
"I thought you may have already forgotten...Can't you let me have that mystic egg? I'm your most loyal partner with whom you have secret affair..." A serious voice sounded in his mind as she didn't appear to be joking.
"Yeah yeah...My loyal partner was demanding me to give her some cores then she would let me use the skills of a monarch beast. Truly very loyal..." He responded as his voice was flickering with sarcasm and was getting used to shameless people after marrying one of the most mischievous girls ever.
"Oh...that's something set by the goddess..., not me...if it was in my hand then I would have let you access all those powers easily and even informed you about all the hidden secrets that you don't know yet but I'm restricted...She wants you to grow on your own and get things at right time.
You're not mature to handle the responsibility of each secret and treasure you're going to get.
But hey...on the account of our true love and beautiful relationship, I will let you unlock the skills that you were supposed to get when you give me twenty purple cores..." Eve said, her voice was mixed with the grace of an elegant woman and a hint of playfulness...
"You don't have to sugar coat your words, just tell me what you want in return that you agree to unlock them early..." Rio asked as he guessed she might have some hidden motive or unexpected demands...
"I'm not that selfish...partner...but since you're asking I had also stored the black stats orbs that dropped when you slaughtered Ruben Astor and his hired man who came to kill you...
I took them without your permission as they were yours so It would count as you giving me those black stats orbs so technically I have been received enough purple orbs as you had given me high-level stats orbs...
It's kind of hard to understand but you understand right? If you give me red stats orbs then I would also let you unlock next-level skill when you reach the black stage...but I guess you're not capable of killing red stage right now so let's not talk about that." Eve explained, why she was going to give him the skills before he completed the task.
"Do I still need to find Purple stats orbs or cores for you even if you unlock those skills for me?" He asked with an intrigued tone.
"Not really as you have fulfilled the requirement but we are partners for life...Whatever you are going to get in the future, I will technically take them since you won't be requiring them...I would let you have them if you could use them otherwise I'm keeping them..."She responded as if the monarch beast had right over his cores without his permission.
"Why do you need those cores?" He asked, furrowing his brows.
"It helps me nourish the realm I am living in and expand it to a higher stage to make it bigger. You might be thinking I'm taking advantage of you but trust me, what I have is yours since you would be using this space after unlocking the next skills.
Moreover, I'm your beloved partner so at least I can claim things that you're not going to use anymore, can't I?" Eve said the last word in a coquettish tone, acting cute to entice him but even she knew it wasn't going to work again him.
"Okay...So can I get my rewards and mystic egg now?" He asked, after agreeing to her easy demands as those stats orbs or cores weren't of any use to him once he had maxed them.
"How about you give me a kiss before I give them to you..." The girl said as if asking him for something that was casual between them...
"Aishh...Don't make that face even though I'm not in front of you...Okay, I won't be demanding anything today for our partnership...Maybe next time then...Here keep it safe..." Eve sighed seeing the boy's face had become cold and she stopped playing with him.
