Her eyes became moist and she put down her guard because of the sight in front of her.
She moved forward and threw herself at him as she coiled her hands around him.
Rio, who had just used his [Disguise] spell, was taken back. He wasn't prepared and never imagined she would be hugging him in this life.
For the lioness to act like a little child was very unbelievable for Rio.
His heartbeat raced due to her hugging him so dearly. The jasmine scent once again welcomed him.
Rio tasted the soft and warm sensation of hugging a domineering lioness as her ample bosoms, which were tightly covered in cloths, pressed on his body from the front.
The feeling was familiar as Lia hugged him usually but getting hugged by another woman was different.
Helia wasn't a divine beauty like Lia but she was at a similar level as Nyla who he thought to be the second most beautiful girl among all girls he met or saw on TV.
Rio felt his shirt getting wet and the body in his hug was shaking as Helia's eyes were weeping uncontrollably.
The atmosphere made him dazed he didn't know how to react so he stood up like a statue.
"Big Brother." She sobbed with happy-sad mixed emotions, forgot for a second where she was standing and her brother had been long dead.
She saw Leon many years ago and his image in her memory was similar to how Rio looked.
There were some differences but not big and people tend to change a little as they grow up and Helia saw her beloved big brother long ago.
So the sudden transformation of Rio becoming Leon caused her past blissful dream that she always wanted to happen to come true.
She didn't even question what happened in front of her if it held any truth and was possible by common sense as she desperately only wanted to believe it even if it was a lie.
However, after she cried for like ten minutes. Her foggy saddened mind became clear and she started questioning reality.
She remembered what had happened. Her brother coming back alive wasn't possible and Rio being Leon was not possible either as he was a human.
Discrimination was at its peak. If Rio hugged her then he would be a playboy but It was fine when she did the same. She was truly unreasonable.
Her moistened red eyes began to tremble as she hurriedly separated herself. She was drowned in confusion as to what had happened. This was the man she wished to slash only moments before! If he had any funny thoughts...
"Why did you Disguise yourself as my brother?" She asked with a glare and demanding tone as a hint of betrayal was flickering on her expression.
"I have never seen your brother so don't blame me. I just randomly got this appearance on my second try." He offered her a half-truth.
His intention was never to be Leon but he designed his new appearance considering Helia as his model in mind. He was innocent as it was heaven plan's to give him some similarities to look like her big brother.
"If it's heaven's will then I should continue to use this asura get up. At Least she wouldn't harm me thinking I'm Leon, would she?" He thought inwardly.
Helia gritted her teeth in anger but her heart was melting, looking at the person with a similar appearance, she grew up admiring and loving.
She wanted to embrace him again but her strong willpower helped her regain her sanity.
What would you do if one day a person who was your little happy world appeared in front of you? Whom did you always search for and wished that he came back? Won't you feel overwhelmed emotionally?
That was exactly how Helia felt. She had mixed emotions. She knew Rio wasn't Leon but she still wanted to believe he was her big brother. Her desperate heart knew no limits.
Rio could see her condition as new colorful expressions danced on her face and eyes that mostly stayed emotionless.
"We already look alike so how about this, you can call me your little brother If you want." He asked her with a gentle smile.
Although he didn't like Helia much, but after hearing her story that day he hoped that she would smile again and gain some emotions like a normal girl of her age.
Our Rio was a gentleman so he offered her that she could call him her brother.
"Even If you look like big brother Leon. I'm never going to think of you as my brother." She said coldly, her face regaining the coldness from before but
a memory from the past was playing into her thoughts.
***
"Lia, I won't let another man take you away from me. You cannot marry to live with him in the future." Little Helia said stubbornly with a sorrowful face.
"But...Grandfather has said that I have to marry that man from foreign land if I wish to live." Little Lia spoke to the little girl whose eyes turned moist as she heard her response.
"Big Brother already left me. You will also leave me. How will I live without you both? Am I that bad, Lia? I don't want to be in this unpleasant world if you also leave me one day." A stream of tears rolled down her baby-like cheek.
Lia wasn't a child who had many people close to her. She gained maturity at an early age due to the nightmares and meeting people who tried bootlicking to gain favor.
She hardly trusted anyone as she considered them fake because they wanted to make a friendly relationship for their personal benefit.
Since her very little age, only three people were able to create an important place in her heart which was her father, her grandfather, and her cousin-sister.
"Ah…Helia…Don't cry. Okay, I won't marry anyone. I will not go anywhere without my sister." Lia wiped her tears with her delicate hands.
"But what about grandfather's words then? Won't you die if you don't marry that man from prophecy? " Helia asked adorably with a saddened face that had a flame of hope after hearing her sister.
"So what should we do then?" Lia asked with a puzzled face.
"Take me with you to your new home when you marry and meet that man." Helia's face brightened as if found a good solution.
Lia hesitated as she knew what it meant to bring her together.
