The next day, Nyx and Celes confessed their love to their parents and asked for their permission and blessings. Maria and Nia, who were already in a relationship, giggled at the scene as if they had been expecting it for the last ten years.
Meanwhile, Lucifer remained completely silent as he watched Celes with sharp red eyes. Celes trembled under the immense pressure radiating from the Dragon King.
"Hahaha, well, finally, huh?" Maria laughed, patting Celes on the shoulder. "Well! I'm leaving my daughter with you, Celes. You have known her for so long. You were made for each other, right, Nia?"
"Of course! I am so happy you have finally confessed your love for each other!" Nia nodded. "One reason we never raised you to think of each other as step-siblings was because it would have been awkward when this happened…"
"Oh," Nyx realized why her mother had never told her to call Celes her "brother" or anything similar.
