"Can't I have the first one, please partner." The elven monarch beast requested via telepathy.
"Nah, you can have the fifth one," Rio said, already deciding the order he would share them.
"Why fifth? There are only three girls here." Eve asked in puzzlement.
"One belongs to Layla." He responded, believing he would find her soon.
"It's good to be positive but... Nevermind. I will just wait." She said in an enigmatic manner, she seemed to know something but didn't reveal it to the boy.
Soon, a fruit, which was a small thumb-sized rounded orb, appeared in his palm. It was in a vibrant shade of deep purple, almost resembling an amethyst gemstone. The fruit's skin was smooth and glossy, shimmering with a faint iridescence.
As Rio held it in his hand, he could feel a soft healing warmth emanating from the fruit.
"Here, this is for you," The boy handed the fruit to Helia, who was sitting opposite side of him on the couch.
"What is this?" She asked, raising her brows and taking the fruit from his hand.
"Baby's Tears Longevity Fruit, for which I swam into the lake. The reason why the lake was acting strange. This fruit helps you look younger and beautify the person who eats but the plant only produces one fruit a month." Rio spoke and told the three girls.
Lia touched the orb like purple fruit in Helia's hand and caressed its surface.
'I can feel massive healing energy within this fruit.'
The girl was happy in her heart as she was thinking about how Rio decided to give this Baby's Tears Longevity fruit to her sister first while he had two wives.
However, this was also the question in everyone's mind, but the one who was most perplexed was the receiver herself.
"Why are you giving it to me and not to Lia or Nyla?" Helia asked, her heart pounding thinking how he was prioritizing her above them.
She remembered how he risked his life in order to retrieve this fruit with a beautifying effect. Even if she was there to save him from the lord beast it was still too perilous for his life, just one attack from that lord alligator beast was enough to crush him.
"Because Snatching this plant under lord's beast nose was only possible because of you. I let the mighty lioness suffer in the laughing gas, knowing she hates it." Rio said, revealing his intentions.
The boy said those words but he intentionally let them get affected by that blue smoke as he wanted her to laugh since she always stayed grumpy and rarely opened up. He knew about her sad past so he let her suffer in the laughing gas and giggle like a normal person.
"Keep it Helia, don't refuse..." Lia supported Rio's statement as she was happy about the turn of events.
Helia stopped her protesting and accepted the Baby's Tears Longevity fruit.
"Rio said it beautifies the appearance of one who eats it. Sister Helia, you should try it now and let us see it." Nyla asked as she wanted to see the effect of the miraculous fruit. She was well aware of the fact Rio would give her next or the one after Lia so the girl was curious.
Helia took a glance at Rio and then at her beloved sister who nodded with her eyes to do it. The girl raised her palm to lead it to her mouth, putting the fruit inside.
It was similar to other magical fruit, the moment it mixed with her saliva the flesh of the orb dissolved and expelled a purple light that traveled into her body.
Helia closed her eyes as she felt a strange sensation rushing through her veins. She could feel the energy of the fruit pulsing through her body as if awakening every cell within her, smiling in joy.
Her skin tingled with a newfound vitality, and she felt a renewed sense of strength and vigor.
Opening her eyes, she looked down at her hands, and to her surprise, she saw that they were glowing with a soft, radiant light.
The light shimmered and danced across her skin, illuminating every line and curve of her body. They died down but the lightning in her skin remain, making her look prettier as if they were baby's skin.
Her hair seemed to glow as if she had come out of a beauty parlor dyeing her hair, as it became a brilliant blonde shade.
Her red eyes sparkled like gems, and her lips glowed with a soft, cherry-red hue, making them look scrumptious and tantalizing.
Nyla gasped in amazement as she looked at the blonde-haired beauty, amazed by the transformation. "Wow, Sister you were already pretty but now you look even more stunning!"
Helia's cheeks turned rosy at the compliment, but she couldn't help feeling a sense of awe at the magic effect of the Baby's Tears Longevity fruit.
She looked at Rio, who was calmly looking at her and felt a warmth rising within her chest.
She was grateful for this magical experience, and that he let her have it. Even if she was warrior-like all the time on the battlefield, deep down it was also her wish to look prettier like any other woman.
"Thank you," She said in a whisper-like voice.
"You don't have to mention it. I should rather thank you." The boy responded.
He asked Eve to give him Mystic Egg as he remembered he was keeping her treasure with him. He didn't think of asking for the lord's beast core as Helia wouldn't need them at this level.
"Here, This is also yours." Rio handed The lioness the shimmering blue egg to her which was a little bigger than his fist.
