As a villain, he could do whatever he wanted.

After a few seconds of silence, Diana exhaled and explained to Lius:

"I... cannot simply agree to your proposal based on the atmosphere around me. This is not my truest feeling. Even if I accept your confession right now, it will not be enough to fully unite our hearts."

After saying this, Diana gritted her teeth, looked at Lius again, her tone serious, then her expression revealed a hint of confusion hidden deep inside, and continued speaking to the boy in front of her:

"Furthermore, before confessing, I would also like to know why you, Young Master Lius,... care so much about me?"

"Oh? Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"Hmm, I've thought about this for a long time. After all, I was just using you, Young Master Lius, and you did such humiliating things to me. So why is there still such an ambiguous relationship between you and me now?"

Clenching her fists, Diana took a deep breath and finally made up her mind to ask Lius the question that had been lingering in her heart.

"When exactly did you fall in love with me...? Was it when you were attracted to my body, or when you and Young Master Lius made a false promise to marry me? Please tell me, I need to know..."

With a sigh of relief, Diana spoke of the matter that had been troubling her for so long, and Leus answered without hesitation:

"No, not at all. I fell in love with you, Ms. Diana, a long time ago. I don't know if you remember, Ms. Diana, it was the first time we met, in my living room."

"Hmm? First time meeting..."

Upon hearing Lius's words, Diana blinked in a daze.

In an instant, it was as if a lightning bolt struck her chaotic mind. With Lius's words, her long-buried memories resurfaced and churned in the young woman's mind.

"When we first met... it seems I was a guest at the Furen family, and while waiting for tea and refreshments... I met a little boy who said he was the eldest son of the Furen family..."

"Yes, yes! I didn't expect you to actually remember, Ms. Diana. That's wonderful."

Leus laughed and cheered, continuing to hold the young woman's shoulders tightly, reminiscing as he spoke:

"At that time, Ms. Diana, you didn't have any cooperation matters to consider, and you didn't bring Lilith with you. You were simply attending our family's tea party as a noble guest. I met you during the tea party. That was our first meeting, and it was also the opportunity that made me fall in love with you, Ms. Diana!"

As Lius spoke, Diana's eyes grew brighter, and a flood of memories rushed into her mind, still so clear despite the passage of ten years.

"At that time... I remember you seemed a bit lonely, Young Master Lius, so I took the initiative to invite you over to have some snacks with me, and then we played together for a long time..."

"Yes, I had a lot of fun with you, Ms. Diana. My mother was busy with work at the time, so she didn't have time to take care of me. It was you, Ms. Diana... who made me feel loved. I also found a sense of trust in you, like that of a mother, so..."

Lius paused for a moment, composed himself, and then continued to smile and express his feelings to Diana:

"So, I fell in love with you, Ms. Diana, from that moment on."

"This... it started so early on, when he was still just a little kid..."

Diana blinked in surprise, then a hint of guilt seemed to appear in her eyes, making her feel the boy's feelings even more deeply.

"I never realized it, I thought you were only after my body... So from then on, every time we met, Master Lius, you always treated me with affection...?"

"Yes, yes, it's a pity that when we met next time, Ms. Diana, all you could think about was the interests of your family. You completely ignored my good intentions and just wanted to keep tempting me. Humph... Don't think I'm being naive. I know exactly what Ms. Diana is thinking. It's very painful to be treated like this by someone you like."

Lius gently pinched Diana's beautiful buttocks a few times, then, in a complaining tone, bluntly revealed Diana's little thoughts, before continuing to hug the young woman in front of him tightly.

"Over the years... I have been secretly watching over you, Ms. Diana, hoping that one day I could reveal my feelings so that you could notice them. I have also been worried about you and Lilith, worried that your arrogant and domineering personalities might cause some trouble. So I want to correct you until you return to the kind and peaceful person you were when you played with me."

“Lius…”

“But… these ideas just wouldn’t go any further. No matter what I did, Ms. Diana, you just treated me like an idiot, thinking you could manipulate me at will, and you didn’t care about my feelings at all. So I couldn’t take it anymore, and that’s how I did that to you…”

"what……"

Faced with Lius's sincere words, Diana was stunned, and her guilt deepened. It was as if even the fact that Lius had violated her earlier had become her fault. She pursed her lips and covered her chest to suppress the waves of emotion in her heart.

"So... this is what you truly thought, Young Master Lius? I... only realized it now..."

After a few seconds of silence, images flashed through Diana's eyes—scenes from her first time with Lius.

At that time, they were like a mother and son, caring for and playing with each other without any ulterior motives, only their feelings and sincerity.

“You actually had these thoughts about me since I was a child… Even though I had already given birth to Lilith and was presented to the outside world as a widowed wife, you still had such feelings for me, Master Lius… Is this really appropriate…” Diana said, pursing her lips.

“Because Ms. Diana holds a very important place in my heart. When you fall in love with someone, you naturally have to love everything about her, whether it’s her strengths or weaknesses. I will accept them all. That’s the responsibility of a husband.” Lius nodded earnestly.

"Even if... even if I wanted to use you before, devalue you to nothing in my heart, and even wanted to take everything away from you, young master Lius, would you still be willing..." With a suppressed flutter of excitement, Diana continued to ask.

"Well..."

After a few seconds of thought, seeing Diana's somewhat nervous expression, Leus looked down at her again and gave her a reassuring smile.

"If you're going to take everything away from me, wouldn't that include me myself? So, Ms. Diana, do you mean you don't want to marry me, but rather want me to become an adopted son-in-law of your family?"

"Eh? This..."

After being teased by Leus, Diana was unsure how to react, and simply blinked her eyes in a slightly dazed manner. Leus, on the other hand, maintained his smile and stroked the blonde beauty's long hair once more.

"I was just joking. Didn't I say before that I can sense your thoughts, Ms. Diana? Even if you really have ulterior motives, I'm willing to accommodate you because I believe that sooner or later you will be able to sense my feelings and understand me, just like... now."

Lius pinched Diana's little nose with his fingers and said with a smile. Diana's blush deepened, and she stared at Lius's actions with a shy and timid look. Her full breasts rose and fell, and she rubbed her tenderness against the young man's body.

“You…” Diana swallowed hard, then looked away slightly. “In some ways, you’re really quite astonishing…”

"Ha, is this a compliment from Ms. Diana? I'll gladly accept it."

Lius smiled, his tone a mix of nostalgia and a touch of teasing.

"I didn't expect things to progress so quickly between us. Ms. Diana, you said things like 'I will never forgive you' before, but now you're being so kind to me without any threats. Is this a reward for my efforts?"

"From what you're saying... are you somewhat dissatisfied with what I said earlier?" After hesitating for a moment, Diana continued to ask.

"Don't be so sensitive, Ms. Diana. I don't care. After all, the phrase 'will never forgive me' also means 'will never forget me.' It's practically a confession from you, Ms. Diana. I'm overjoyed. There's no need to take it back."

"Um... your thought process is really strange. No wonder I've never been able to understand your feelings. You're partly to blame for it..."

With her lips slightly pouting, Diana acted like a sulky little girl, hugging her chest and turning her head away.

"..."

Another silence fell, the wind whistling past their ears, creating a stillness between them.

"I... will never forgive you."

"Ok?"

In the silence, the sudden words from the young woman made Lius blink slightly.

"Ms. Diana, what...did you just say?"

"I said... I would never forgive you. Didn't you just say that this counts as a confession? Well then, I'll confess to you now... I won't forget you, just as I haven't forgotten our first meeting. I will stay by your side forever..."

As Diana spoke hesitantly, she noticed the contented and satisfied smile on Lius's face, which made the blonde woman tremble and complain:

"Hey! What... what's with that expression on your face? It's disgusting... who do you think I'm saying this for! This is my confession, don't you want it? You'd better accept it properly!"

"Ha... I'm sorry for being a bit out of line. I was just suddenly curious, Ms. Diana, didn't you say earlier that you didn't want to be affected by the atmosphere? Why did you suddenly agree now?"

"Because...because I'm not affected by the atmosphere right now. What I said just now was after careful consideration; it's my true thought, and it's very precious. If you don't accept it, I'll ignore you from now on!"

Clenching her two little fists, Diana continued to act like a little girl, opening her mouth with her fangs and leaning closer to Lius, speaking to him in a pouty manner.

Meanwhile, Leus, facing this aggressive blonde beauty, immediately responded in his own way...

"Well!"

The next moment, Diana's lips were bitten by Lius, who held them in his mouth and savored their sweetness.

"Hmm...so sudden...hmm...I'm not ready yet..."

"What else needs to be prepared? I won't let such a perfect atmosphere pass me by. Finally, I've finally heard your confession, Ms. Diana! Hehe... Let's have the first kiss after the confession now. I want this feeling to remain in Ms. Diana's heart forever, and never be forgotten!"

"Ugh...you scoundrel, just as I said before...you enjoy humiliating me like this...ugh?~"

Despite saying that, Diana's actions continued.

Holding onto Lius's shoulders, she went from slight resistance at first to gradually becoming more skilled, and finally her eyes filled with love as she became immersed in Lius's sensual and skillful movements, actively cooperating with the young man in front of her, showing her maturity and sexiness as a mature woman.

"Slurp~ Slurp~"

The delicate sound of water echoed between the two, creating a unique scene in the moonlight and high above.

On the ground, Lia put down her longsword, sat on a wooden stake to catch her breath, looked at the monster girl in front of her who had been knocked unconscious by the hilt of her sword, and then looked at the two people kissing passionately in the sky. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and couldn't help but show a helpless smile.

"Ha... Brother always likes to be lazy like this, really. He doesn't even know how to be reserved. Showing affection to Aunt Diana in public like this, hehe... It's not bad, though. Can Lia do this with Brother next time? I really look forward to it..."

Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Young Woman's First Date

Some time later, in the forest beside the cliff.

"Alright, Ms. Diana, everything has been arranged for Leah. Now it's just the two of us alone, so we can rest for a bit."

In the sky, Lius landed lightly, gently carrying the blonde woman in front of him in a princess carry, with an ambiguous smile, as they rubbed against each other and stepped onto a fallen leaf.

A gentle breeze rustled through the leaves, creating a soft, rustling sound that was especially pleasant to hear in the tranquil night.

"Hmm... I can walk by myself, there's no need for you to carry me like this, Young Master Lius... You're injured too, you should rest properly..."

Lying in the arms of the boy beside her, Diana pursed her lips, a shy blush on her face. She seemed a little embarrassed by the boy's caresses. Her usual dignified demeanor as an elder had completely disappeared, replaced by a bewildered and awkward expression.

Lius, however, showed no sign of letting go. Instead, he continued to smile and caress the young woman's delicate, snow-white skin, whispering in Diana's ear:

"Don't worry, my chest injury has long since healed. It's you, Ms. Diana, who must have used up a lot of energy after being frightened just now. As your future husband, of course you should take good care of your wife. Haven't you already confessed your feelings? And you're a mother now, so don't be so shy."

"Hmph, you still bring this up... You know perfectly well that I have absolutely no experience in love, yet you keep teasing me like this. Even after raising Lilith for so many years, I'm still very inexperienced when it comes to love, unlike you, this philandering young master, who's so adept at it, hmph..."

Diana pouted slightly and complained a few times. At the same time, as if to express her dissatisfaction, she pinched Lius's cheek with her hand. Looking at the blond boy whose face still had a youthful appearance, her shyness intensified.

Even though he was the elder, and much older than the boy...

And now… she was lying so obediently in his arms, and her heart was gradually immersed in it. She had completely lost the dignity of an adult, and was only left with the virtuousness and softness of a loving wife, letting Lius caress her.

"Hmph... let's just consider it a bargain for him. After all, he saved so many people before, so it's okay for this young master to act spoiled a bit now..."

Feeling her heart pounding faster and faster, Diana gave a soft hum to herself, trying to convince herself. Recalling what had happened earlier, she couldn't help but look into the depths of the forest beside the cliff.

At this moment, in a clearing in the middle of the forest, rows of young women and girls could be seen lying down.

They were the victims whose magic had been drained by the slime monster. Their bodies were almost completely withered, and they lay on makeshift hospital beds made of fallen leaves, with almost no strength left to stand up again.

Fortunately, they were rescued in time, and apart from fainting from exhaustion, they are not in any immediate danger to their lives. This is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Looking further into the crowd, you can spot a white-haired girl bustling about.

"Ladies and little sisters, please line up! Little sisters, too. Leah is going to use healing magic. Don't worry, you'll all recover quickly. Just relax."

At the edge of the forest, Lia, holding a wand that glowed white, greeted the group and cast healing spells with a serious expression, like a pure angel descending from heaven, illuminating the entire forest with white light.

Many injured villagers gradually awoke under the girl's light, panting as they sat on the ground to rest. They cast grateful glances at the white-haired girl who had rescued them, and then looked with fear at the black-haired woman on the other side of the forest, who was firmly imprisoned by a magic array. They felt fear and resentment towards the culprit who had caused the disaster.

"..."

After stunning and capturing the monster, Lius set up an array, using his and Lia's magic to temporarily imprison her within it, preventing her from causing trouble again after waking up. He then prepared to treat the injured villagers together with Lia.

However, just as Lius brought up this idea, Lia blinked slightly and shook her head at him repeatedly, refusing to let Lius do any work, citing "Brother is already tired enough today" as her reason. She took all the treatment tasks upon herself and forcibly dragged Diana over as well, so that she could accompany Lius to rest.

"Aunt Diana, I'm leaving my brother in your care now. You two need some time alone, don't you? Leah can handle things here. Good luck, and enjoy the sweetness after your confession with your brother!"

Recalling the meaningful smile on Lia's face when she left, Diana felt a strange sense of care, as if she were being understood by this young girl, which made her blush with embarrassment.

"Thinking about it carefully... that young girl was with Young Master Lius first, and I came later. But now I've taken part of her place. It seems that I have indeed been taken care of by her..."

Seeing Lia's magnanimity, Diana pursed her lips, lost in thought, and then decided to stop thinking about all those messy things. She shook her head vigorously and continued to relax in Lius's arms.

"..."

Feeling the boy's caress on her head, Diana purred contentedly like a kitten, her full, rounded body wriggling playfully as she continued in a slightly lazy tone:

"Hmm... Since you, young master Lius, are so willing to serve me, then... hold me tighter now."

"Oh? Is it really possible?"

Levius gently kneaded the softness of the young woman's body and continued to ask with a wicked smile. Diana responded with a few coquettish words after being touched, and raised her beautiful foot in high heels to nudge Levius's cheek with her toes.

"Hmm... Don't get handsy. Just do what I tell you to do... Be a little more serious. You're my lover now. After we resolve this matter here, I'll naturally satisfy you properly when we get home, Young Master Lius. In other words, you also need to satisfy me properly now and fulfill your responsibilities as my boyfriend, understand..."

"Ha, alright, alright, I'll listen to you, Ms. Diana, and be a little more serious."

Amidst the lingering scent of her sweaty body, Leus smiled as he spoke to the beautiful woman in his arms, gently grasping her high-heeled foot that was kicking his cheek, and carefully admiring the beauty before him.

Bare feet were encased in translucent, shimmering high heels, revealing the soft skin on the instep through the red shoes. The fair skin against the bright red upper created a striking contrast, making the two colors incredibly eye-catching.

The streamlined, pointed high heels tightly encased the young woman's delicate feet, keeping Diana's shapely, youthful feet in an upward-supported position. Coupled with Diana's slightly trembling movements, this further revealed the suppleness and fullness of her beautiful feet, exuding a unique allure belonging to a mature woman.

It can be said that under the crimson high heels, Diana's flawless mature feet were further accentuated, giving people an urge to try them on just by looking at them from a distance.

Even though he had already experienced it many times before, seeing the young woman's high-heeled feet up close and smelling the rose-like fragrance emanating from them still stirred up Lius's desire. He couldn't help but move closer and squeeze the young woman's feet a little harder.
