Davis had just wanted Fiora to go home, making her realize her weakness, but he realized that he had entirely underestimated her determination to save her elder sister which led to this situation.
He didn’t exactly calculate or feel that she would choose to lose her innocence in this place, in exchange for her elder sister’s safety.
Only silence remained in the room; extremely awkward.
Seeing that there was no reply, Fiora felt that these two felt also disgusted with her words behind those masks they were wearing.
Even so, she swallowed her shame and shouted once more, "If you can save my elder sister and bring her back in one piece, I am willing!"
Natalya held back her tears and bit her lips. She hadn’t thought that her little sister would go this far for her.
She felt disgusted at herself for getting jealous over her sister’s talent for cultivation, even hating her to the point where she had stopped talking with her for a period of time in the past.
Davis didn’t know what to say anymore. The situation had gotten really awkward for him, especially when he considered that her elder sister was just beside them right now.
Fiora had already thrown away her face in front of them, and on top of that if he were to reveal that the person beside her was Natalya all along, wouldn’t the former kill herself out of shame?
Coming out of his reverie, Davis didn’t want to miscalculate her next move, and he didn’t doubt anymore that she would go to any lengths just like she did now.
Even so, Davis wanted to know what made her go to such lengths. Was it familial love? He could only take a guess but not ask.
He sighed and looked at Natalya gazing at him.
He could feel her desperate gaze right now, telling him to not accept her proposition.
"You do realize what you’re saying, right?" Davis asked as he returned his gaze to Fiora.
Fiora clenched her fists, even though those small arms were trembling, "I do..."
"You do understand that the number of people who might wed you in the future with your talent will take a huge drop once you do the deed, right?"
Fiora took a deep breath at his question, "I know what I am doing!"
"You do realize that there is a chance that your future husband will despise you for not being a pure maiden, right?"
"Then I will simply not marry!" Fiora’s eyes had turned bloodshot from shame.
As an individual, she had her own fantasies about her life companion as well. Now his words reminded her that her daydreams about her companion had all gone to waste.
Davis silently coughed, thinking that he had teased her enough.
Whatever, he had actually already decided to reveal Natalya’s identity when he sighed, since this could end in tragedy if he took one step wrong. He didn’t want to cause another tragedy at this point and knew if he accepted her deal, Natalya would undoubtedly reveal her identity to save her little sister from him.
He waved his hands and said, "Whatever, it is only a matter of time before knowing that your sister is still alive and well. Knowing sooner isn’t gonna change much..."
There was a slight pause before Fiora turned confused.
"Reveal yourself, Miss Elder Sister..."
Fiora’s eyes slowly widened! Not understanding what this person was talking about but she subconsciously turned to look at the black-robed person on the side, vaguely hoping something in her heart.
Natalya removed her mask as she bit her lips, tears kept flowing down her face.
"Elder Sister..." Fiora absentmindedly uttered when she looked at the familiar yet despondent face.
"Fiora..." Natalya cried out, her figure moved forward to embrace her.
Fiora stood there frozen stiff, not able to believe the sight in front of her. Natalya embraced her, feeling the warmth of her little sister once more.
Fiora who was frozen stiff felt the familiar warmth that emanated from her elder sister.
A tear involuntarily flowed down her face once she felt the familiar warmth. She absolutely knew that this couldn’t be faked, even if the one in front of her was an illusion.
She wanted to believe so, and couldn’t help but ask, "Elder Sister, is it really you?"
After hugging her real tight, Natalya looked at her and said, "Yes..."
Fiora bit her lips, "What is my favorite food?"
"Roasted meat of Azure Swan, but you actually like it grilled, covered with spirit wine."
Fiora’s eyes glazed, "Tell me a secret that only you and I know then..."
"You have unrealistic feelings for Crown Prince Xuan!"
Fiora’s heart skipped a beat and she no longer possessed hesitation, diving deep into her elder sister’s embrace, "Natalya!"
The sisters embraced and hugged each other, their faces etched with smiles and tears.
’Hmm? Didn’t Natalya say that the Royal Xuan Family executed the young master of the Astoria Family? Sigh, love is complicated...’
Davis thought and blinked as he felt like an outsider but he wasn’t going to let Natalya go out right now, because it might possibly alert the unscrupulous people in Roxley Family, which in turn could ultimately cause them to be in danger.
At this point, Natalya could understand this too, so he believed that she wouldn’t go out no matter what.
After the sisters felt their reunion coming to an end, Fiora separated and asked as she wiped her tears away, "Elder Sister, what exactly happened?"
Saying so, she cast a suspicious glance at Davis thinking that he might be that person who deceived them.
Natalya gently sighed and explained. The two conversed back and forth clearing the doubts and the view that they experienced.
A while passed before Fiora was covered in tears but had dried already. She looked at Davis and bowed her head deeply, thanking him for saving her elder sister.
She then looked back again at Natalya and sadly asked, "You can’t come back, uh?"
"Yes, if those people find out, our whole family might be in danger. We need to avoid it all costs!" Natalya seriously replied.
Fiora nodded her head and said, "Then I’ll keep this a secret from mother and father. You would be able to find us in Pavlos City, outside the North Border of the Xuan Empire."
"Hmm, I will..." Natalya nodded and turned her gaze towards him, "Mister Scythe, can I send her out...?"
Davis nodded, not sure about what she was thinking. The two of them came out of the residence and entered the outer courtyard.
