“And last, but not the least, my closest friend,
Allura Leander.”
Aisha introduced and the moment Maline’s and Rislith’s eyes fell on Allura, their expression changed.
“It is a pleasure to meet you.”
Allura smiled politely.
She could sense something was wrong with Maline and Rislith’s expressions. It was similar to how Aisha’s expression changed when she glanced at her, however, since she was already used to Aisha looking at her like that, she decided to ignore this for now.
Of course, now she had to discuss it with Nux. If it was Aisha alone, it wasn’t a problem, however, if Maline and even Rislith, the successor of the Lust State were looking at her like that, then something was definitely wrong.
When she noticed the change in her sisters’ expressions, Aisha smiled.
Just as she expected.
Allura was different from the others. She didn’t know what was different about her, but she didn’t care.
She just turned towards Rislith and spoke,
“Sister, I need your help.”
“Help?”
Rislith frowned, quickly forgetting about Allura, Nux, and the others.
“You see, Allura has helped me a lot. Although I still have not achieved what I wanted to achieve, I have still received her help, and now, I wish to return the favor. I have already given her my word.”
Aisha glanced at Allura then turned towards her sister again and spoke.
Nux and Allura frowned,
Allura was about to talk to Aisha, however, Aisha just turned towards her and placed a finger on her lips, signaling her to stay silent.
“How do you wish to return the favor?”
Rislith questioned with a serious look on her face.
As the Demons with Royal Blood flowing through their veins, their words meant a lot to them. If they said something, they needed to honor it.
Aisha went as far as giving her words, it was a little reckless, however, now that the arrow has already been shot, they couldn’t do anything about it.
Rislith just hoped that Aisha doesn’t propose something stupid.
“I need you to give Allura a Slot for the Ancient Trial.”
Aisha spoke and Rislith and Maline’s expressions changed.
“Do you even know what you are talking about?”
Rislith narrowed her eyes as she glanced at Aisha.
This was Aisha’s first time seeing such an expression on her sister’s face, so she was a little shocked, however,
“I am not asking for a preferential treatment or something like that. I am just asking for a Slot.”
“And that itself is a preferential treatment,” Rislith replied with a cold look on her face.
“I think my words carry enough power to provide her one slot, do they not?” Aisha questioned back.
“…”
Rislith turned silent and observed her little sister for a while.
Seeing that she was still unconvinced, Aisha sighed and then,
“Sister, listen to me.
I only need a Slot, you do not have to postpone or prepone the opening of the Ancient Trials, neither do you need to force other challengers to go easy on her,
Whatever Allura does and receives inside the Trial, it will all depend on her and her ability.”
“Her ability? You think a human can go against Demons?”
“I will personally hire people to Train her and oversee her training.”
Aisha replied.
“Why are you going so far?”
Rislith narrowed her eyes.
She couldn’t understand, she gave her a word to return the favor, giving a slot to the Ancient Trial would have been enough. But she was even hiring people to train this human girl? Was her Sister always this generous?
Aisha glanced at Allura again and then, she smiled,
“I just wish to help her.”
Seeing the genuine expression on her Sister’s face, Rislith started thinking about this a little more seriously.
In the end, she sighed and then, she nodded.
“The Slots for the Ancient Trails are not under my management,
I need to talk to the mother.”
“M-Mother?”
Aisha’s expression changed.
She knew her mother and sister very well.
Her Sister would never hide the fact that it was her request from her mother, no matter how much she loved her, she respected the mother too much and would never lie to her.
And her mother, once she learns that she was the one who requested it, she would wish to meet Allura, not only Allura, she would request to meet Nux and the others as well.
Honestly, Aisha was excited to see her mother again after such a long time, however, she didn’t wish for her mother to meet Nux.
As if she sensed her Sister’s worry, Rislith smiled playfully,
“Oh? You don’t wish to meet mother? She would be heartbroken if she saw your expression, you know?”
“N-No, it is not like that, I want to meet mother as well. I just… the mother would want to meet them if you tell them that it is my request.”
Aisha spoke, hoping that her sister would take her side and hide this fact.
However, even she knew this wasn’t possible,
“Hmm? What’s the problem with that? Mother needs to see who she is giving a Slot to, doesn’t she?”
“S-She just needs to see Allura…”
Aisha spoke as she secretly glanced at Nux.
Rislith and Maline saw that.
“Oh ho? Would you look at that, Big Sister?”
Maline spoke up as she glanced at Nux and then she glanced at Aisha, who was blushing a little.
“Our little sister is trying to hide this human from mother, how cute~”
Maline chuckled.
“Sister, do you really think mother will be interested in an Emperor?”
Rislith questioned.
“…you two just don’t know him yet…”
Aisha replied in a soft voice.
“Oooh?”
Maline’s expression changed, she then turned towards Nux and tilted her head seductively,
“Human Boy, what kind of magic have to done on my Sister, huh? Just look at her, She is a mess.
Now even I am getting a little curious about you.”
Aisha quickly appeared in front of Nux and glared at Maline,
“He is mine.”
“No, I belong to my wives.”
Nux quickly corrected.
He was not having any of it.
“Enough playing around.
We are going to meet Mother, and that is final.”
