My Wife is the Asura Empress

Helia's heart was pounding with nervous excitement as Rio's hand confidently rested on her waist. Her heart raced as she looked up into his sea-green eyes, conflicted by the confusing feelings she had for him.

Once, she had hated him for being a human, But now, after experiencing his selfless caring nature towards her, she found herself inexplicably drawn to him, her heart yearning for something she couldn't quite understand.

As they began to move to the music, Helia tried her best to hide her nervousness, but she couldn't help but feel bashful in Rio's arms. She had never been a confident dancer, but with Rio leading her, she felt like she was drifting in the air.

As they birl around the dance floor, Helia's mind raced with a million thoughts.

'Would he ever like me?'

'What should I do to get his forgiveness?'

'Why my heart is beating so fast?'

'Eh...'

She couldn't shake off the feeling of being self-conscious, but Rio's gentle smile and reassuring touch on her back helped ease her nerves.

From the distance, Emperor Dylan could tell that Fierce Beauty was genuinely happy to dance with Rio.

The other guests in the ballroom were stunned and captivated by the scene unfolding before their eyes. Helia, who was notorious for her tough demeanor and quick fists when it came to boys, was now moving gracefully in Rio's arms, allowing him to lead her with ease. It was a sight that no one had expected to witness, and they couldn't help but stare in awe and disbelief.

Some of them exchanged surprised glances with each other, while others whispered among themselves, wondering how Helia could allow a boy to hold her so closely. It was a sight that none of them had expected to see, and they were all thoroughly impressed by the way Helia and Rio moved together.

As the tempo of the music shifted, the partners changed once again and Rio swept Lia into his arms, the couple began to sway in perfect synchronization.

In the end, the song came to a close, and they finished their dance with a graceful dip, leaving Lia feeling a sense of pure happiness.

The party continued, and as the night wore on but eventually, the time came for Lia to bid her guests farewell, and she took her leave from the grand hall, with Rio, Nyla, and Helia following close behind her.

As they entered the Empress Villa, the atmosphere was serene and peaceful. Helia headed straight to her room, feeling drained and exhausted from the events of the evening.

Meanwhile, Rio followed Nyla and Lia into Nyla's bedroom. They were all so exhausted that they didn't even bother to change their clothes, opting to simply collapse onto the bed.

Nyla had already drifted off into a peaceful slumber, her body exhausted from the night's festivities. However, Lia's mind was still buzzing as her thoughts were consumed by the desire to have a heart-to-heart conversation with Rio.

She hugged him tightly, burying her face in his chest as she whispered softly, "Will you leave me again?"

Despite the fear and longing in her heart, her voice remained calm and steady, reflecting the strength that lay within her.

Rio looked down at the cute squirrel nestled in his arms and playfully pinched her little nose.

"Don't worry, Wifey, I won't be leaving anytime soon. I need to stay close to my beautiful wife, after all. I'm going to be under strict orders to stay put until my lovely wife gives me the green light. Besides, I can't go off on any more adventures without my required dose of Vitamin Lia!" He said with a mischievous smile, teasing her playfully.

"I don't believe you," Lia said with a hint of doubt and fear in her tone.

Rio leaned in close to Lia and whispered in a flirtatious tone, "No, I swear, I don't want to leave. Do you know that I want to feast on these luscious lips and devour this tantalizing body of yours? If it weren't for Nyla sleeping here with us, I'd say tonight we might have had our consummate night."

As Lia's cheeks flushed with a mix of amusement and shyness, she found herself wanting the same thing as Rio.

But her moment of bliss was short-lived as she suddenly remembered something, causing her voice to tremble as she spoke up. "But I have this fear that we won't be able to spend time together again and you'll leave me," she said, her words laced with worry.

Lia hugged Rio tightly, her arms wrapped around him as if he was her lifeline, their bodies entwined as they lay on the bed. Her mind was consumed with the fear of losing him, and she couldn't bear the thought of being separated from him once again.

"Promise me, Husband, promise me that you won't leave me ever." Her eyes looked up at him with desperation, hoping to find the reassurance she so desperately needed.

"I promise you, Wifey, that I won't ever leave you Even if death tries to come between us, my stubborn soul will stay by your side, loving you for all eternity," Rio said with a sincere yet playful tone, looking deep into her eyes.

"Please don't speak of such things," She pleaded, Lia's voice trembled as she quickly placed her hand on Rio's lips, trying to stop him from saying anything else. Tears welled up in her eyes and her eyes glistened with unshed tears as she feared losing him.

"Wifey, don't cry. I didn't mean it like that." He said urgently, his voice filled with both sorrow and concern as he saw tears streaming from Lia's eyes.

He held her cheeks in his hands and wiped away her tears with his thumb, reassuring her that he didn't mean it like that.
