"I won't interfere anymore. Good luck, Big Sister. I hope Big Sister can do much better than Sister Athena did." When Heilde intended to continue her steps, the back of her clothes was pulled by Shelia's two fingers. Staring at Shelia's expression, Heilde's face showed fear.
The expression that Shelia was showing right now was the expression of a woman who was interrogating another woman who was trying to get her partner. As a woman who understood the situation, Shelia's views on Heilde's previous actions, which she had discussed with Lucien, were still stuck in her head.
"Sister...? Um... What's wrong?"
"Heilde... answer your Sister's question. What do you think of our brother-in-law? Do you like him too?"
Heilde's eyelids blinked several times after listening to Shelia's question. Unable to hold back her strange expression, a laugh came out of Heilde's mouth.
"Pfft...! Sister, I'm much more normal than you! I would never fall in love with a member of our own family. Do you think everyone is the same as Sister? I won't be trapped by our brother-in-law's charm. Never."
Even though she was doubtful about Heilde's answer, Shelia decided not to think too much about the feelings of worry in her heart. Even if Heilde had feelings for Lucien, it would not make Lucien care about Heilde's feelings.
That was just Shelia's opinion. Moreover, Shelia understood that the attitude shown by Lucien was only centered on Athena. The only woman Lucien loved was their own older sister.
"Hmph... okay! Sister believes you! Then, Sister should go now." When Shelia wanted to continue her steps to chase me, one of her hands was now held by Heilde. Shelia's face showed a dark look. When Shelia wanted to ask what Heilde wanted, Heilde's index finger was now pointed at the sky outside the window above.
"Sister, I saw that brother-in-law had gone away riding a Wyvern with him. I thought it would be better for you to just give up..."
An empty expression began to appear on Shelia's face. Both of her gazes now showed a serious look. Unfortunately, Shelia couldn't continue her steps, as if someone was trying to stop her.
"My dear Shelia, please don't do that. Do you want to ruin the training your Big Sister gave Lucien?" Lilith's voice had a pleasant tone. Even the expressions of Shelia and Heilde showed respect. The two sisters began to bow before Lilith, showing that her status was the most important compared to every other high-ranking person in the capital.
"No... that's not it. I don't want to bother our brother-in-law. I'm just worried about him... Besides, I really love our brother-in-law like Sister Athena."
Silence began to fall over the place. The expression shown by Lilith was no different from a mother who came to joke with her daughters. Grinning slightly, Lilith's hands now began to pat the tops of Shelia and Heilde's heads.
"I know what you want. But don't overdo it. There is only one message from Mother: don't interfere too much in your sister's relationship with her boyfriend. This is also my hope for all of you."
The words that came out of Lilith's mouth didn't make Shelia angry. She only showed a respectful expression in front of her mother. After all, her mother was the real leader guarding this place.
"Don't worry. Your cute daughter understands her limits. I just don't want anything to happen to brother-in-law. That's all."
After seeing that Shelia understood her words, Lilith decided not to pursue her daughter's problems too much. The three of them started talking to each other before finally Shelia and Heilde began saying goodbye to Lilith.
A sigh escaped Lilith's mouth. Before the figures of Heilde and Shelia disappeared, Lilith's face showed a lazy expression.
One of Lilith's hands was now holding a letter given to her by a noble family. But Lilith's expression did not show happiness. Instead of being happy with the contents of the letter, she was very displeased with the request made by the noble family.
"Huh... How much longer will that guy last? That depends on his performance. I won't stop him if he wants to leave Athena. This duel will inevitably be accepted by him. The son of Duke Maxwell doesn't know how to give up at all."
Half an hour passed, and the Wyvern I was riding stopped in the sky. At first, I was confused by the Wyvern's actions. But after less than a few seconds, the Wyvern's body involuntarily turned to the side beneath it and made me lose my balance.
"Damn ride! You must have done it on purpose! This is bad! I have to land properly."
My body started to lose balance due to the rotation made by the Wyvern. Luckily, I could land on the ground without difficulty. There were no visible wounds on my body. Looking to the side above me, I saw the Wyvern's expression showing its disgust.
"Rahh! Gwahh!! (Disgusting human! Who else wants to take you!)."
Although I didn't understand what the Wyvern was saying, I understood that it was trying to insult me. I didn't really care about it. Fluffing up my clothes, I started walking into the forest outside the capital.
The forest was vast, spanning hundreds of thousands of hectares. A wooden house could be seen in the middle of the forest. When I walked to the front of the wooden house, my legs felt a terrible pressure.
