Kent was busily chatting with Amelia and asking her about the condition of her health. The other girls were also excitedly replying to him about the situation at Golden Bamboo city.
Tata Lan listening to everyone with confused looks. She never expected Kent to have so many intimate females.A disappointment played on her face as listened to the excited tone of Sophia and Lucy.
Fatty Ben, clutching his newfound treasures, was beaming with joy. Beside him, Mei Bai, the arbiter lady, clinged to him, her eyes shimmering with pride and affection.
Standing as a silent guardian at the forefront, the Supreme Sword Magus maintained a stoic posture, his presence alone enough to dissuade anyone from approaching the throne.
His aura was like an unbreakable barrier, a force of protection that not even the highest-ranking officials of the Blue Planet wizard association dared challenge.
Among them was the head of the wizard association, the Supreme Wand Magus Allaric, who stood at a respectful distance, unwilling to test the Sword Magus’s resolve.
From the periphery of blessed land, on top of a distant castle, two pairs of eyes watched the throne and Kent with deep looks. Lilly and Thea, the sisters of the Quinn family from the Seventh Realm, stood side by side, their expressions contrasting sharply.
Lilly’s gaze was sharp, her thoughts clear as she analyzed the scene below with a mixture of curiosity and calculation. But Thea has a storm brewing inside her.
“Sister… hey, sister,” Lilly called out, noticing the deep intensity in Thea’s gaze as she stared at Kent. “What are you staring at? Hey!”

Thea didn’t respond immediately, her eyes locked on Kent with an emotion that was difficult to decipher. Envy, longing, perhaps even a touch of sadness—they all swirled together in her chest as she took in the sight of him surrounded by women who clearly adored him.
It was as if the more powerful he became, the more unattainable he seemed, and the closer he got to the throne, the further she felt from him
“Hello, sister?” Lilly called again, a note of impatience creeping into her voice.
Finally, Thea blinked and shook her head, breaking out of her trance. She turned to face Lilly with a carefully composed smile, hiding the turmoil that raged inside her.
“Sorry, I was just… wondering what my sister’s fake husband will look like in the future,” Thea replied with a soft laugh, her tone light but the undercurrent of her feelings still evident.
Lilly raised an eyebrow, not entirely convinced by Thea’s nonchalant response. “You were staring pretty hard for someone just ‘wondering.'” She paused, her eyes narrowing slightly as she tried to read her sister’s emotions. “What is it, Sister? What’s really going on?”
Thea waved her hand dismissively, trying to maintain the facade of indifference. “Oh, it’s nothing. I was just lost in thought. After all, I did make you promise to ask him to act as your fake husband. I was just imagining how that would play out.” She giggled, but the sound was hollow, even to her own ears.
Lilly wasn’t entirely convinced but decided to let it go for now. She turned her gaze back to Kent, who was still sitting on the throne, looking every bit like the ruler he was destined to become.
“When are you going to ask him?” Thea inquired, her voice tinged with a mix of curiosity and reluctance. “Don’t forget your promise.” Thea added in a hurry.
Lily sighed, glancing back at Kent. “Give me some time. He has so many girlfriends now, each one of them so close to him. I don’t think I could be part of that… at least, not for real. I’ll just ask him to act as my fake husband for the time being, nothing more.”
Thea nodded, her lips pressing into a thin line. “Good. Because we have to remember what’s at stake. It’s not just about you… it’s about our family, our realm.”
Lily looked at Thea, seeing the weight of responsibility in her sister’s eyes. “I know, Sister. I won’t forget.” She murmured, her gaze softening.
As they turned their attention back to Kent, the sisters watched as he began to prepare to leave with his companions.
Lilly, still watching Kent closely, spoke again, this time her voice tinged with a strange mix of affection and apprehension. “You know, he really has a great charisma. It’s not just his power… it’s the way he carries himself. There’s something different about him. I really wonder whether he accepted my proposal for Fake Husband!” Lily said in a doubtful tone.
Thea shooker her head, her eyes still locked on Kent. “He’s great… in more ways than one. But so are you. You are as stronger than all his present female companions. Also, which man can resist your beauty? Don’t worry, he will jump like a kid after hearing your proposal.” Thea said in a proud tone.
Lilly glanced at Thea, noticing the wistfulness in her sister’s voice. “You really want me to pair with him, don’t you?”
Thea didn’t answer right away. Instead, she watched as Kent, surrounded by his closest ones, prepared to leave the War God Temple, the Sword Magus still standing guard like an impenetrable wall of protection.
Finally, Thea turned to Lilly with a small, bittersweet smile. “Maybe I do,” she admitted softly. “But I have more reasons to help my sister. You will ask him to be your fake husband, as promised… that’s it.”
Lilly looked at her sister, her heart heavy with the weight of unspoken words. She wanted to say something, but she didn’t find the right words.
“Let’s go,” Lilly finally said, turning away from the scene below. “We have a lot to prepare for.”
Thea took one last look at Kent, her heart tightening as she saw the way he smiled at his girlfriends, the way he interacted with them so naturally, so lovingly. She forced herself to turn away, following Lilly as they left the vantage point.
But as they walked away, Thea slowly slipped away and moved towards the secret Clark residence where Madam Clark is waiting.
