Chapter 10: Talk
While Veer was packing his stuff at home, his two wives were sitting in a luxurious car, heading toward Liliana's house. They were both sitting in the backseat with a Rune Formation concealing their voices and presence.
Elara looked at the smooth fabric and said, "I have to say, this car is really something else. Though I'm more surprised at the fact that you brought it here."
Subtly smiling, Liliana replied, "It was easy. Besides, it's not like you can't get one here."
Elara chuckled and nodded. She then sat comfortably as the car moved through the straight highway. She asked, turning toward Liliana, "So, what did you want to talk about?"
"About our relationship, of course," Liliana shrugged. "Veer is too emotional to actually hear this talk, so I needed to talk alone with you."
Elara nodded in agreement, as Veer really was too emotional.
"So, are you really fine with this?" Liliana asked.
"Of course not," Elara was, as always, honest and straightforward. "Who would want to share their lover? I'm more surprised at the fact that you actually suggested this."
Liliana looked outside the window, at the disappearing road, and said, "It's because I knew what was going through Veer's head. He would never abandon you, so I chose the safest option."
Elara looked at her new friend and said, with a slight surprise in her tone, "You really know him."
A smile formed on Liliana's face as she said, "Yeah. This is also the reason I actually wanted to talk to you alone."
"I'm all ears," Elara said, getting interested.
"You know him very well, so tell me, what are the chances that he won't seduce more women?" Liliana asked in a rather sour tone, as she remembered the heavenly beauties who gave up everything to have a chance with Veer.
She didn't even know if they survived or not.
Elara's mood instantly turned sour as she cursed, "That damn womanizer seduces women left and right. Future? There are already many waiting for him in his homeland. They were one of the reasons he actually ran away."
Chuckling softly, Liliana said, "They aren't that important, as Veer doesn't love them back. But I know there will be many who will eventually join us. It's inevitable, and I've long accepted that fact."
She sighed and grabbed Elara's hand, "So, I just need one thing from you. Support!"
Elara looked at her in confusion and asked, "Support in what?"
'Ah! I forgot she's a little muscle-headed,' Liliana remembered that Elara was still young and had her usual muscle-headed personality. So, she patted her hand and said, "What I meant was, we two are his first wives. We both are. So, I am asking you to support me to keep this spot even if others come."
Honestly, Elara was probably one of the few people she had actually grown close to in her previous life, so she didn't mind sharing the same spot.
Elara raised an eyebrow and lingered for a while, weighing her options. But even after messing up her mind, she couldn't come up with a better solution.
Looking at Liliana's sincere expression, Elara pursed her lips as she began to consider her offer. After some time, she finally decided when her brain began to hurt from all the thinking.
She grinned and punched Liliana's shoulder lightly, "Count me in, Sister. Just remember that we're in this together."
Liliana heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. She then thought of something and said, "But I'll warn you about something. Veer will be facing horrible things, and as his wives, we would be swept in with him. You could lose your life or even experience something worse than death."
This was a genuine warning from Liliana. She clearly remembered what happened to her and didn't want it to repeat. But even she knew it was pointless.
Elara shifted closer to Liliana and asked, "Will you abandon him because of dangers?"
"Never!" came an instant response from the white-headed beauty.
Elara smiled and said, "Then why do you think I would leave just because of some dangers? So, what if I lose my life? I don't see a problem with that if that's the price I have to pay to be with him."
Liliana shook her head, getting the expected answer. She sighed and said, "Should have guessed. I was just giving a warning because he will face terrible things."
Elara shrugged and then said, "Now that you mention the dangers, we need to find some way to make him stronger. If what you said is true, then he needs to become strong. But his Aspect..."
Her voice trailed off, but she knew Liliana understood her. As for Liliana, she smiled and said, "Oh, you don't need to worry about that. See this!"
Saying that, she tapped on top of her head. Suddenly, something began to poke her hair, and soon the reason for that came into view.
To say she was shocked would be an understatement. Elara just looked gobsmacked at the four curly horns protruding on Liliana's head. They were pure white in color and looked mesmerizing, but they also emitted a strange powerful presence as if she were sitting in front of a king.
Still surprised, she pointed at them and asked, "Are they for real?"
Liliana nodded as she put her head forward, "They are real. You can touch them if you want."
Elara gulped and reached to touch the horns but ultimately withdrew. "I trust you. Besides, who would dare impersonate a Noble Dragon? Still, you're a freaking dragoness? Really? A Noble Dragon at that?"
Liliana nodded as she also withdrew her head. There were many types of dragons—lesser, greater, noble, and more. But only the Noble Dragons had the authority to govern over citizens.
Elara never expected to meet one here, as her sister-wife. "Now I believe you have a past with him. Wait! You are a Dragon, and Veer has a Dragon Master Aspect."
Liliana's lip tugged upwards as she said, "I will be his first tamed dragon. He needs to grow stronger? Well, I'm here."
