My Wife is the Asura Empress-Novel

Rio rubbed his forehead as he disliked being social and meeting with others.

"Sorry...I don't like interacting with people. I hope you don't feel bad by my refusal and I think she wouldn't be happy to meet me either as you may know Rose already hates me." He said in a composed manner.

"Yeah...I know she hasn't accepted you yet but it will work out in the future.

But Lily is the complete opposite of Rose. Although she is very cold towards outsiders, Lily wouldn't treat you badly.

She is a nice girl, Rio." Second mother praised her older daughter in front of him, Rio couldn't see a mysterious light flickering in her eyes when she talked about the older daughter as he was using an audio call for conversation.

"Sorry, but I would meet her when I feel comfortable. I am not ready yet. I hope you understand." He turned her down as Rio needed some time to accept his new memories.

"Okay, take your time Rio...I'll wait for you to accept it slowly. Rushing things wouldn't be healthy either." She said in a tender voice.

"Yeah." He mumbled.

"What's your relationship with Nyla?" Second Mother asked with a curious voice but it sounded as if she was worried about something.

"She is just my friend. You can say my very first friend...but why do you ask?" He felt alarmed and scrunched his eyebrows.

"There are rumors about you two. I hope there is nothing between you and her..." She sounded concerned but didn't drag it long.

"Why would you say that?" Rio asked.

He thought that even if there was something between them It shouldn't be an issue. They had nearly engaged after all.

"It would be problematic if I tell you now. You will find out when the time comes." Second mother spoke with some hesitations and didn't reveal it.

"Understood...I'll wait." He replied without taking it seriously.

"Okay then, I won't disturb you more today. Take care, my child..." She said in a doting voice that was filled with warmth.

"You too, and Have a good day." Rio bid her farewell in a polite manner.

Saying that he disconnected the call and walked towards the portal capsule to return back.

***

After the duel between two children of the Seven silver sword families, Rio had become popular around the human country.

Everyone praised how he thrashed Talia with one strike and took revenge for his girlfriend.

Someone even uploaded the video on the school internet forum that they had recorded while inspecting the match.

At the beginning of the video, it was told how Talia bullied her older sister and Rio jumped in to defend her. It escalated to a challenge which Romeo accepted in the end.

In the clip, it was even mentioned that the Mailon family is trying to separate the childhood sweethearts.

The video had gone viral, as it received 40 million views in a few hours after the clip got uploaded.

The sweet couple had become a celebrity for the younger generations and a favorite of many even older one.

However, they didn't have any pictures of Rio's face as he was using the white mask during the battle.

Unaware of any of this event, Rio appeared on the couch of his bedroom at Empress Villa.

Lia was laying on her bed in an adorable manner and her bewitching eyes were closed while she was hugging a pillow. She looked like a sleeping princess who was waiting to be kissed by the prince to wake up from her slumber.

Rio walked towards the bed carefully to not make any noises and watched her fairy-like face that made his frozen heart feel ecstatic.

Even though the boy had become cold to everyone, the main reason behind it was Lia, the person he treasured the most.

Rio saw her dying a million times which caused him to be cold to others and his unsealed memories with Layla that he became cautious of everyone.

Additionally, he was blessed by Goddess during this trial which granted him [Heart Sutra. It protected his heart and mind from the overwhelming emotions of strangers while helping him to keep a calm mind.

After an hour, Lia's eyelashes shook lightly and she opened them.

What welcomed her sight was a crimson-haired boy gazing at her with Affection filled eyes.

A bright smile blossomed on her face and she sat up on her bed.

"When did you come?" She asked In a sleepy voice while rubbing her half-closed eyes.

​ "I don't know. Maybe an hour?" He replied while taking a seat beside her on the bed.

"Why didn't you wake me up then?" She asked in a complaining voice.

He shrugged with a gentle smile.

Lia didn't investigate much and moved to the next topic.

"How was your match with Talia?" She asked while sitting in a meditation position as if waiting for an entertaining story to start.

"Well...When I went back..."

As expected, Rio narrated the whole story from start to end, telling her about the Dhovrix race as well as the Two heroes he heard about from teacher Milena.

He told her how the boy inspected Talia with [Heaven's Eyes] and defeated her using [Devlin's Movement Technique] and the Silver-Bloom king sword his lovely wife had given him.

Rio also told her how Nyla and he celebrated his victory, how she sang an abnormal song for him, how she danced, how she confessed her feelings, how she hugged to test if he loved her or not, how she cried and collapsed at the end.

If Rio wanted he could've hidden it from Lia but the boy decided to tell her as always.

She just listened to the very end with a serene face.

"Would you have accepted her if you weren't bound by the oath?" Lia asked with a curious gaze and monitored his face for every detail that may tell her answer.
