As a villain, he could do whatever he wanted.

Such thoughts filled Diana's mind, and several strands of her long golden hair covered her eyes, completely blocking the blonde beauty's view.

The feeling of death filled her body. To Diana's surprise, when she actually faced death, she felt no fear. The only thing she had was reluctance to leave this world and longing for Lilith, who was far away.

“Lilith… I’m sorry, your mother can’t go back, and I can’t tell you about my constitution. But perhaps this is for the best… As long as I die, those who want to search will not be able to find any clues, your background will not be exposed, and that young master will take care of you. Don’t worry…”

Suddenly thinking of Lius, Diana's gradually calming mind was stirred again, her heart suddenly beat faster, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

"I remember I was hoping this young master would come to my rescue, ha... It seems that was just wishful thinking on my part. He is too late to rescue me now, and even if he could, he wouldn't risk his life for me."

"After all, that's the kind of person he is. No matter how many sweet words he says, does that mean they'll actually come true? To him, I'm probably just a toy he uses and then throws away. There's nothing to care about..."

"He will abandon me, he will definitely abandon me..."

Such thoughts lingered in Diana's mind. At this moment, facing death, Diana pursed her lips, and suddenly her eyes welled up with tears.

"No... I'm about to die, I don't want to lie to myself anymore... If that young master were here, he would definitely come to save me."

“Although he has so many troublesome aspects, I can sense that he will not abandon anyone around him… That little girl Lia was like that, Lilith was like that, and now even I am like that… That’s why I was willing to entrust Lilith to him in the first place…”

As the turmoil in her mind intensified, the blonde woman gradually realized her true feelings. The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, and a hint of regret appeared in her tearful eyes.

"Is this... my true feelings? Really, I realized it too late..."

"Lius told me before that he would let me stay by his side and feel his love until I truly fell in love with him. Now that I think about it, it's a bit of a pity. I died before I could even start living a normal life with the young master. If I could, I would really like to see the young master's gentle side..."

As her consciousness deepened, Diana felt her descent slow down, as if her body was no longer her own.

She imagined what it would be like when she fell to the bottom of the cliff and landed in an indescribable mess, and what kind of expressions Lius and Lilith would have when they arrived.

"They... will be sad and cry. Thinking about it carefully, they are among the few people in the world who care about me. One is my daughter, and the other is the one who violated me. What a strange combination..."

Diana asked and answered herself in her mind, trying to escape the feeling of death that was gradually approaching.

However, no matter how much she tried to tease herself, a bitter feeling still lingered in the young woman's heart, causing her to put her arms over her eyes, cover them, and let two clear tears flow through her fingers.

"As expected... I still... don't want to die..."

With her arms hanging limply and helplessly, Diana fell in a lying position. Finally, an impact stopped her fall, ending the young woman's predicament.

"Ah... is this what death feels like...? Surprisingly, it's not too painful."

With her eyes closed, Diana relaxed her body and, in a hazy state of consciousness, felt the impact of "death" on her body.

"There was no pain in my body, but rather a warm and soothing feeling, as if I were lying in a very comfortable embrace, and even felt a gentle caressing sensation. Could it be an angel comforting me...? And there's a familiar scent..."

Diana's delicate little nose twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but snuggle closer to the embrace, seemingly enjoying the feeling of being caressed. Then, she paused for a moment, and her snuggling stopped in place.

"This feeling... it's so familiar, and I can still think so clearly. It doesn't feel like I'm dead at all. Thinking about it carefully... when I fell to the ground, I didn't feel anything hard. Someone caught me in the air!"

After realizing what was happening, Diana's eyes widened, and she looked in front of her in surprise.

The next moment, she saw a familiar young man.

"you……"

Upon seeing the figure in front of her, Diana's eyes widened. After realizing what was happening, she covered her lips tremblingly with tears in her eyes.

"You...you really came...to save me..."

"Ha... Are you so surprised to see me, Ms. Diana? Didn't we agree that I would protect you? I won't break my promise!"

At this moment, in front of Diana, Lius was suspended in the air, supporting her legs with one hand and holding Diana firmly in his arms. He released his own magic to envelop and protect her, not letting Diana suffer any harm. With his other hand, he stroked the young woman's forehead, comforting the still-shaken blonde beauty as if she were a noble queen.

“Lius… young master…”

Lying in the arms of a boy a head shorter than herself, Diana felt no discomfort whatsoever. Instead, she relaxed her body, immersing herself in the embrace, overwhelmed by a feeling of longing.

Swallowing hard, Diana's gaze was fixed on Lius's face, her eyes filled with complex emotions, but the most obvious and intense was a sense of gratitude and attraction towards the boy...

Chapter Ninety-Six: The Young Woman's Confession

"you……"

Lying in Lius's arms, Diana instinctively wrapped her arms around his shoulders out of fear, and looked up at Lius's face.

The fact that they had escaped danger allowed Diana to relax completely. Gazing at the boy's handsome face, which was covered in dust, she couldn't help but purse her lips. For a moment, she felt an urge to burst into tears. She reached out and stroked the boy's face, wiping away the dirt from Lius's skin.

"you……"

After a brief pause, Diana's throat bobbed, as if she had a lot to say but didn't know how to begin. Finally, with a hint of hesitation and confusion, she gently opened her lips to Leus:

"When...did you come to my side...?"

"I just arrived. I almost missed it. Luckily, I used magic to protect you, Ms. Diana, in time. Otherwise, I would have been very distressed if you had been injured."

Lius gently stroked Diana's long golden hair and breathed a sigh of relief with a smile, seemingly very pleased with Diana's obedient reaction.

Meanwhile, Diana quietly felt the boy's caring gaze. Overwhelmed with emotion, she unconsciously pressed her body closer to him, a blush appearing on her delicate and fair cheeks.

"Ok?"

Just then, as Diana pressed against Lius's chest, she suddenly felt a warmth, along with a strong smell of blood, causing the blonde woman, who had been relaxing, to blink sharply.

“This is… huh?!”

Looking down, Diana's eyes widened in shock as she saw bright red liquid gushing from Lius's collar.

Following the bright red marks to the side, one can see a sharp blade floating in the air, with a few bloodstains on it.

The blade was also surrounded by Leus's magic, covered in a crimson light. It seemed to be forcibly controlled in place by Leus, but the sharpness inside was still unwilling to give up the struggle. The sharp tip of the blade was aimed at Diana's direction, and it kept trembling under the magic, trying to break free from Leus's control.

"This...this is..."

With a mix of worry and shock, Diana trembled as she reached out and pulled open the boy's collar, revealing the wound beneath his clothes.

A deep cut was made on Lius's chest, and the muscle texture could be clearly seen through his collar. Warm breath and flowing blood surged continuously. Seeing it up close was undoubtedly a very shocking sight.

Just then, Diana suddenly remembered that when Lius caught her in his arms earlier, she heard a metallic clanging sound very close to her ear.

At the time, she didn't realize what was happening, but now, staring at the menacing blade in the distance, Diana finally realized her predicament and covered her lips with a trembling hand.

"Just now... you were slashed while protecting me... and you bled a lot..."

Witnessing this scene, Diana trembled slightly in disbelief, two clear tears streaming down her wide eyes. Unconsciously, she took out a handkerchief from her bosom and, with a feeling of heartache, wiped away the bleeding wound of Leus.

"Oh... such a serious wound, all because of me..."

"Oh, it's nothing, don't worry about Ms. Diana. It's just a minor injury, it will heal quickly. The monster has been brought under control, everything is under control, so don't worry."

"It's under control..."

Diana blinked slightly, noticing that she had been taken high into the sky by Lius. Looking down at the cliff where she had been standing, she could only see the figure of a white-haired girl.

"Hey!"

Wielding a silver-white sword that matched the color of her hair, Lia exuded waves of surging magic, slicing down one woman after another formed from the slime. Between swings, she would occasionally look up at Lius, giving him a confident thumbs-up with a smile.

“Brother, this sword really does enhance the power within Lia’s body! It’s amazing, hehe, I feel like Lia is even stronger than you now.”

"Be careful, don't let the blade slip from your hand, move nimbly, and be careful not to fall off the cliff."

Lius looked down and reminded her, while Leah energetically waved her little fist and continued laughing:

"Don't worry, brother, you can leave this to Lia. You can continue to take care of Aunt Diana. Lia will definitely be able to wipe out all these monsters!"

"Well, just be careful, and tell me right away if you can't handle it!"

"it is good!"

And so, Lia, wielding her unique weapon, smiled and nodded to Lius, completely unaware that the weapon in her hand was one of the few demonic swords in the world. She simply continued to focus her gaze on the black-haired women trapped by magic in front of her, eliminating them one by one.

The mimicry monsters on the ground were now completely powerless to resist, and under the girl's slashes, they all turned into dust and disappeared into the world.

Even if they still wanted to draw magic power from the villagers, they had no "human resources" to consume at this point, so they could only helplessly gather back into their own bodies, making a final, meaningless resistance amidst heavy breathing.

"This……"

Witnessing everything that happened on the ground, Diana's face remained in shock. She looked at Lia, then at the boy holding her, and a wave of doubts rose in her heart once again.

"Why do you... have such great power? You're just two young people, how can you be so strong..."

“Well, well…” Leus rolled his eyes. “Actually, I can’t really explain it. If I had to say, it’s probably the power of love…”

To Diana's question, Leus could only give this answer for the time being, but it was clear that Diana was somewhat annoyed by this joking reply. Before Leus could finish speaking, she bit her lip, leaned closer to him, and said with worry and anxiety:

"What do you mean by 'the power of love'! Do you know how worried I was about you! Stop joking with me! Take me seriously, and look at your wounds too. They're so bad, and you've lost so much blood. Go get them bandaged up! What if there are any long-term effects? Do you want to make me worry even more?!"

"Ms. Diana, you..."

Looking at the beautiful woman in his arms, whose face was filled with anxiety and who was roaring, Lius was somewhat surprised. Then he felt a strange sense of joy. Even the wound on his chest seemed to have stopped hurting. Under Diana's wiping, it was slowly wrapped in magic and began to heal itself.

"Don't worry, Ms. Dinah. With my strength, this little injury can't hurt me. As long as you're alright, Ms. Dinah, I don't care... I just didn't expect you to be so worried about me. Thinking about it, I'm actually a little happy."

"How could I not be worried in this situation... I never expected you to actually come to my rescue, in such a critical moment... risking so much danger to not abandon me. What if something had happened to you? What would I... what would I do..."

Her body trembled slightly, and tears welled up in Diana's voice. Besides her worry and anxiety for Lius, she felt even more gratitude and excitement, making no attempt to hide her concern for the boy in front of her.

Meanwhile, Lius continued to soothe the young woman's forehead, then moved closer to Diana's face and gently kissed it.

"what……"

A brief moment later, a warm and soft sensation penetrated Diana's skin and seeped into the heart of the blonde woman, easing her anxiety. Diana then looked up at Lius again, her face flushed as they met each other's eyes.

"..."

As night deepened, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, revealing a crystal-clear moonlight that shone upon the two figures in the sky.

The moonlight streamed down behind Diana, complementing her simple dress and making her appear as if draped in a layer of silvery-white silk, giving her an aura of pure and flawless innocence.

"Gu..."

Feeling the silvery-white glow on her body, Diana swallowed hard, suddenly feeling as if she were wearing a gorgeous wedding dress, witnessing her wedding with Lius from the sky.

Even the surrounding breeze seemed to transform into petals falling on her shoulders, fluttering Diana's fluffy skirt. An ambiguous atmosphere enveloped her, causing the blonde young woman, who had never experienced love, to have her heart beat even faster.

"We're so close right now..."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Diana blushed and slowly spoke, while Leus took it a step further, pulling the beautiful woman into his arms and whispering sweet nothings in her ear while caressing her.

"Haha, after all, Ms. Diana is also our future wife, so of course we have to protect her well. Besides, we can't let Lilith lose such a caring mother. Otherwise, the little girl will cry her eyes out when we get back. For our daughter's sake, I also need to take good care of you, my dear wife."

"You...do you really want to take me as a concubine?"

When Leus addressed her like that, a blush flashed across Diana's face again, and the fingers that were holding Leus's arm unconsciously rubbed together a few times.

"Clearly...clearly I'm such an old woman, I don't deserve your affection at all. At first I thought you were just toying with me, but it turns out you really mean it..."

"Of course I'm sincere. I've been sincere from the very beginning. It's you, Ms. Diana, who's been avoiding the issue. What? You were so worried about me just now, and now you're pretending not to care?"

"This one……"

Diana wanted to argue further, but Lius went a step further and said:

"I've been eagerly anticipating your formal acceptance of my confession, Ms. Diana, and I long to see you in your wedding dress, leaning against me! Now, with such a rare opportunity and such a perfect atmosphere, wouldn't you like to seize the moment and give me your blessing, Ms. Diana? If you miss this chance, it will be difficult to ask again next time."

"Opportunity... could it be..."

Faced with the expectant look in Lius's eyes, Diana blinked, and her breathing gradually became rapid.

"Could it be... a confession...?"

The mere thought of those two words sent Diana's heart pounding so hard it felt like it would burst from her chest. She could no longer contain her emotions, and in the ambiguous atmosphere around her, she was about to unleash her inner desire—called "love"—on the boy before her...

Chapter Ninety-Seven: When Aunt Becomes Wife...

"Confession..."

As she pondered those two words, Diana's lips trembled slightly, and her heart raced.

Feeling the boy's burning gaze, the ambiguous and surging atmosphere around them, and the holy and pure moonlight in the sky, the blonde woman's emotions became even stronger. Her panting lips parted slightly, letting a sweet scent waft onto Lius's face, and her moist tongue trembled slightly, almost on the verge of opening its mouth.

"This concubine...this concubine wishes..."

However, after uttering just a few words, for some reason, Diana suddenly swallowed back what she was about to say, pursed her lips, and silently looked at Lius, causing the smoothly progressing confession scene to cool down slightly.

"Hmm? Ms. Dinah, you..."

Noticing Diana's sudden pause, Lius looked at her with slight surprise, only to find that the blonde beauty's love in her eyes had not diminished, but rather, under the influence of reason, the confusion had lessened and a touch of sincerity had been added.

"Not yet...not yet."
