As the girls were busy talking to themselves at the bedside, Yami came with the cart and stowed everything before cleaning the dining table.
Rio was sitting on the couch all alone as he was talking to Eve about the golden berries.
He didn't tell them earlier about the innate fruits as he was narrating about the saintess story and kept it a mystery.
"Eve, Can you get me some innate fruit from the golden berries plant that you kept in the wonderous forest realm?" He politely asked in his thoughts, thinking she might refuse and say she isn't his maid.
"Okay, partner." The girl responded positively.
Soon, more than a dozen of golden berries appeared in both of his hands, he counted the fruits and they were a perfect fifteen.
Lia, Nyla, and Helia were sitting on the bed a few meters away from him as they were telling the white-haired beauty about the desert, Rio didn't explain everything to her and they were saying every detail to their beloved empress sister.
Rio stood up from the couch and walked to the girls who were lost in their conversation. He stopped in front of the bed and showered the golden berries that fell in front of their eyes, catching their attention, and making girls frown in confusion.
However, It didn't take long for Lia to realize what it could be as she already doubted his statement earlier.
"Golden berries? You kept them in your spatial storage?" Lia almost guessed where they had come from.
Rio didn't explain much and just nodded, he said, "We can only eat five of them, so each of you should have five. There are a total of fifteen here so it should be enough for three of you."
Nyla's eyes lit up but the lioness was hesitant as she didn't want to take these golden berries from Rio.
The magenta-haired beauty turned towards him and pecked his cheeks, she said, "I knew, you wouldn't forget us."
The boy could feel her soft plumpy lips smooching his cheeks.
Rio rubbed the place she kissed and said, "Enjoy, I'm going to sleep now."
The boy didn't think to stay any longer as he wanted to rest and walked out of Nyla's bedroom to go to his main bedroom where he usually slept.
As they were done with the dinner, telling about the desert to Lia and even the ring ceremony, the boy preferred to sleep now as it was a tiresome day for him.
After Rio left, Nyla moved to consume her five shares of golden berries as notification rang in her mind, confirming her innate stats points increased.

"This really increased my innate stats points." The magenta-haired beauty said as she was joyous seeing the result in front of her eyes.
But soon she realized the other two girls were not touching the innate fruits, she asked, "What's the problem, Big sis?"
The white-haired beauty pointed towards the Lioness and Lia questioned her sister in puzzlement, "What happened Helia?"
The lioness looked at them and said, "I can not take these innate fruits, he should give this to someone who is important to him such as his Family, not me."
"Sister Helia, if he doesn't cherish you then why would he cradle you in his embrace in the desert when we all were barely able to even walk?
I wanted to withdraw from that place but then I saw how Rio wasn't giving up on you even when he was carrying you and giving you a piggyback ride."
Nyla tried to convince her as she could see that the boy really cared for Helia otherwise why wasn't he cold to her like how he treated Kyra and the other girls?
"No, he only carried me because I was part of the team and he didn't want to leave me behind. I won't take these precious innate fruits, They should belong to his loved ones." Helia said, her voice filled with unwillingness.
"Don't be stubborn Helia, rejecting his good intention would be rude." Lia tried to approach her.
Helia continued to show her reluctance but the constant convincing and pampering solved the problem as she also eat the golden berries.
After Helia was done, there were only five left so Lia went to consume it next.
The girls all had their innate strength increased to 15 points although Helia and Lia didn't hear any notification but they could feel the enhancement in their overall power.
The three girls continued to talk for a while after which they also went to sleep in their respective bedrooms.
In the morning, Rio got a 'thanks' from Lioness when they were having tea but the boy didn't tease her this time as he could see she needed time to stable herself after their intimate interaction in the desert.
Days continued to pass, and Rio enjoyed his peaceful days in the Empress Villa.
Helia brought Nyla to the Corrupted land and helped her to reach the black stage. The two girls went on an adventure together, going from one shelter to another.
The people at the asura's shelters get to meet their new princess who was recently adopted by the emperor Dylan.
A month passed...
It was the day Rio returned to the earth and went to take his theory class on Monday which was usually crucial for the first year to join.
The class was filled with most of the students but Lucas and Sophia still had not returned back. The boy noticed a mystifying glint in Talia's eyes as she was peeking at him from time to time which he only could notice with the help of his [Heaven's Eyes].
