Chapter 91: Liz’s Arrival
"Hena, you cheated. I also want to hug Cien."
As if realizing the jealousy that Elize was showing, I decided to take Elize into my arms as well. This was the happiest moment, being able to hold two beautiful women like Athena and Elize in my embrace.
Both Heilde’s and Ariel’s gazes incessantly stared at the side where a man and two beautiful women were embracing each other. Deep inside their hearts, Heilde and Ariel felt a little jealous when they saw how their brother-in-law hugged Athena and Elize.
But as Athena’s two younger sisters, there was nothing they could envy when they saw how their brother-in-law and older sister embraced each other. However, seeing Elize directly hugging their brother-in-law was enough to make the two women think of Elize as a rival they had to compete against.
Both Elize and Athena’s sisters did not have many friendships like Athena did. Moreover, Athena was the eldest of the three sisters. Therefore, the three sisters could not try to push their older sister away from their brother-in-law.
From the start, the relationship between Lucien and Athena had been completely approved by their mother. Because Lilith was the reason why Lucien and Athena were able to be together, Ariel, Heilde, and Shelia thought that Lucien and Athena had officially become husband and wife.
It was just that Elize had now completely received full recognition from Lilith to become Lucien’s second lover. That alone was enough for the three sisters to think of Elize as their rival whom they had to get rid of. But Elize was by no means an ordinary woman. Therefore, there was nothing the three sisters could do to remove Elize from their brother-in-law’s side.
Suddenly, Heilde’s and Ariel’s gazes unconsciously met each other. For the first time, a dangerous glint appeared in both Heilde’s and Ariel’s pupils. It was like female dragons initiating the beginning of their dispute.
But the two sisters had absolutely no idea what was really going on deep inside their hearts. From Heilde’s and Ariel’s point of view, they considered their brother-in-law to be their sister’s man. However, there was not a single chance for the two women to make their brother-in-law their sole possession.
Without realizing it, the sound of sighing could be heard coming from Heilde’s and Ariel’s mouths. The two women couldn’t recognize the hostility they had previously shown. Instead, both Heilde and Ariel only considered themselves side characters who could not stand by their brother-in-law’s side.
Witnessing the closeness between their brother-in-law and Athena and Elize was enough to make the two sisters feel extremely jealous. Luckily, Ariel’s thoughts at this time were not completely consumed by jealousy. As a woman reborn from the modern world, Ariel had far better self-awareness than the average living being throughout the world.
A memory of Ariel dying in the past due to an illness struck her mind. It was a memory that Ariel had long forgotten since she was first born into this world. For some reason, Ariel’s gaze couldn’t help but return to the figure of her brother-in-law.
’This brother-in-law... Is he very interested in every work I make? I only heard from Sister Heilde that our brother-in-law really likes reading comics. Is there a possibility that he and I come from the same world?’ Question after question endlessly flooded Ariel’s mind. Every time Ariel thought about the possibilities that might happen in the future, she couldn’t help but get a headache when she remembered her past life.
"Um... Master, Madams, what exactly is that in the distance?"
The sound of thunder rumbling non-stop could be heard from several miles away. A woman’s voice reached the ears of Elize and the others. For some reason, I was involuntarily reminded of the presence of an eagle that was born with an extremely powerful Lightning Element trait.
"That’s Liz? Since when did your mount wake up from hibernation? Didn’t she just begin hibernating within the last two years?"
No answer could come out of Elize’s mouth as she listened to every question Athena gave her. The gaze Elize showed at this moment reflected her sharp expression. Without paying attention to the situation in the sky, Elize, without hesitation, immediately displayed her extraordinary strength before Liz could fly in front of her.
"This little girl... It seems I have to teach her a little lesson. Ice Element..."
In a matter of seconds, everything in the sky changed and formed into an iceberg thousands of meters tall. It was a mountain that could touch the edge of the outer layer of the sky. Even so, Liz’s figure seemed to be completely submerged within the interior of the huge iceberg.
Freeze!—
"Lize, you are too much..." Those were the only words Athena could say when she witnessed how her best friend gave several punishments to her mount. As a woman, Athena felt sad when she witnessed how Elize’s mount received such terrible punishment from her master.
The expression I was showing right now was completely blank. This was absolutely not something I could interfere with in order to help Liz’s situation. On the contrary, I was endlessly watching the scene where Elize was now melting the iceberg with the power of her Fire Element.
"Master... please forgive... forgive me... Your mount is not a useful animal at all..." Even after Liz received an attack from her master’s Ice Element, she could still open her mouth in response to the attitude Elize had shown toward her. Liz couldn’t be angry about the treatment her master had given her.
As time passed, the giant iceberg that had previously reached high into the sky completely disappeared from its place. The figure of Liz, who had previously been in her true form, began to enter a state where she transformed into a little girl. For the first time, I saw Liz’s human form as a little girl.
Two purple feathers that looked like crowns could be seen on both sides of Liz’s head. Liz’s current appearance was no different from that of a 13-year-old little girl. But as a monster of the 4th-star rank, Liz possessed strength equivalent to that of Dragon King-stage experts.
"Are you okay? Your master was too excessive in punishing you. I hope you don’t mind the actions your master showed earlier."
There were no words that could come out of Liz’s mouth other than a helpless expression. The strength demonstrated by Elize earlier had become much greater than before. As Elize’s mount, Liz had received several attacks from Elize in the past.
Only Liz could be Elize’s partner in one-on-one combat. After all, the job of a mount was to assist their master in doing what she wanted.
There was no reason for Liz to refuse any order Elize had given her in the past. From Liz’s point of view, Elize’s strength was the greatest of her generation, just as Elize herself believed.
