Fiora thought back to how she became like this...
At first, these conflicting thoughts didnât echo out loud in the past since on her mind as Alchemist Scythe was always her sisterâs man. She knew how her elder sister respected him, so she didnât have any thoughts on that matter.
However, when she saw and heard how Alchemist Davis fought with a powerful impostor and a mysterious expert for Natalya while resolving the plot that targeted her grandfather Agis Stirlander as a scapegoat, she became jealous.
At that point, she doubted that if she would ever get a man like that, someone who gave it his all for her. It was like a seed that had been planted. This metaphorical seed made her think almost every day what wouldâve happened, how her life wouldâve been if she had been accepted by Davis, who at that time went by the name Alchemist Scythe.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but Fiora gathered the courage to leave her elder sisterâs shoulders, "Are you not mad?"
She nervously asked.
"Mad?" Natalya simply smiled, "Why would I be mad?"
"I... I am a bad little sister..." Fiora obediently lowered her head.
Natalya became taken aback before she strangely smiled.
"If you are a bad little sister, then I am a bad elder sister as well. You think your elder sister obtained her husband through proper means?"
Fiora became stunned.
Natalya blushed, but she still said it, "I forcefully obtained him by using seduction."
By the time she finished saying these words, her face had become utterly crimson, "Your elder sister is a very bad girl!"
"Pfftt... Hahaha!" Fiora started to laugh, and Natalya followed suit to hide her embarrassment and shame.
However, she felt that a burden had been lifted off her shoulder. Initially, she had considered herself a proper woman who did things by the book, virtuous and having propriety, but in the end, she felt that she seduced and forced herself on him. This caused her to feel immoral.
Now that she had shared this with someone, she felt as if a weight was off her shoulder.
Fiora wiped her tears that came from laughter and said, "I didnât think my elder sister would be this daring! I thought that your husband had accepted your confession of love, flowery, and romantic like we read in those poetic novels."
Natalya smilingly shook her head, a teal of adoration in her eyes, "It wasnât like that, but after that day, it was flowery and romantic every time he interacts with me..."
"Ahh! Youâre so hateful. Youâre making me more jealous..." Fiora pouted.
"Whatâs jealousy going to do? It is better if you act on your thoughts like I desperately did at that time. Although I feel that it is very cowardly, I wouldâve regretted it by now if I hadnât done that. Oh, wait... I wouldâve been dead from the plot that targeted our grandfather." Natalya smugly smiled.
It was as if her desperate actions brought Alchemist Davis into the fray, which in turn helped her family survive from a disaster. In the end, it could be said that her actions had brought the best results to her family to survive.
When women were married off, the brideâs family would rely on the backing of the groomâs family to further survive in the world and make their ends meet if they werenât well off, and even if they well off, the brideâs family could always rely on the groomâs family to enjoy luxury.
It could be said that Natalya got an exceptional man as well as protection for her family. She felt blessed by the heavens and even thought that she got more than she asked.
âIf this happiness can only last for a lifetime...â Natalya inwardly sighed.
"Does that mean that I can lay a hand on your husband?" Fiora teasingly smiled.
She knew better than anyone that her elder sister was possessive and always said that she wouldnât allow her man to have other women, but she actually and willingly became the second wife. That caused her to become shocked at that time.
She felt that even if her elder sister lived a frugal life, she still wouldnât give her man to other women, but the reality ended up being different.
"You can try..." Natalya shrugged, "Iâm pretty sure that my husband would like a pair of sisters serving him. Besides, youâre beautiful than me..."
"So elder sister knows who is the beautiful one..." Fiora flipped her black hair and faked a proud look.
"You silly..." Natalya tapped Fiora with her hand before they laughed together.
Truth be told. They felt that it had been forever since they had a hearty conversation like this, even though it seemed awkward and inappropriate.
"But Iâm more mature..." Natalya possessed a smug expression.
Fiora became stunned. Her pride flared, "Well, Iâll become mature after I sleep with him!"
Suddenly a knock came, startling the two of them.
The door was open, and a person stepped in, "Sleep with who?"
"Brother-in-law!!!"
Fiora stood up and squealed as she closed her mouth with her palm. Her face became a complete shade of red before she escaped, holding the hem of her skirt as she ran away from the room!
The door abruptly closed with a huge bang.
Davis chuckled at Fioraâs actions and looked at Natalya pout.
"Will you please enter after knocking?"
"Heh, why would I need to wait to get into my wifeâs room?" Davis audaciously grinned.
"Detestable!" Natalya enlarged her pout but then smiled.
Davis smiled back before noticing that Natalya possessed a wet stain on her shoulder. Recalling that Fiora possessed a look as if she had just cried not too long ago, he asked, "Did your little sister finally have a boy- uh, man?"
He felt that Fiora mightâve been consoled by Natalya as he heard something along the lines: "more mature after I sleep with him!"
Although it felt like an argument, it also sounded as if they were goofing around, so he wasnât too sure.
Natalya shook her head but then nodded, a teasing smile lit up her face, "You..."
Davis blinked before he misunderstood that he was played. He walked to get and shook her hair, "Youâre also getting cheeky like Evelynn, eh?"
"Itâs up to me to punish you and make you know your place!" Davis grinned evilly, and his naughty hands extended to her back.
"No, not here..." Natalya grasped his hand as a red hue appeared on her cheeks.
This was her parentsâ residence! How could she be this audacious?
Davis ignored her plea as he leaned and gave her a deep lip kiss.
"Donât worry, the rooms here are all soundproof..."
"No..." Natalya struggled, but it came off in a coquettish manner.
She was afraid that someone would walk in as the door wasnât locked by her, "Wait, let me lock the door!"
Davis felt that it was enough that he teased her, "I came for something else."
He sat beside her on the bed.
Natalya didnât believe him and locked the door with her soul force. He was daring enough to sneak into her room, entering her residence in the old estate last time to do obscene and lecherous things to her.
What were the chances he would not do it again?
Natalya completely felt it was entirely possible that he would use this chance to make her âmiserableâ!
