The blonde woman spoke.
“I know, since the both of you are worried about each other happiness how about I give you a chance to stay together?”.
Alessia saw the cunning smile on the blonde woman’s face so she immediately refused.
“No!!!, I’m willing to become a servant but I won’t allow my sister to be… abused”.
Aster who was in the middle of waking up heard her and he replied.
“Hey!!! You crazy woman, do I look like some kind of sex maniac to you?”.
Aylin covered Alessia’s mouth to stop her from speaking while she lowered her head a bit.
“I’m sorry for what my sister did, I’m willing to serve you but please spare her life”, Aylin knew that if the man in front of her wanted to take revenge that blonde haired woman will probably kill her sister.
Aster saw Aylin and he recognized her as the woman he met before entering the trial.
“Mmm… why should I punish you? the one who attacked me out of nowhere was that woman not you”, after hearing that Aylin’s eyes got teary which Aster noticed and for some reason, he felt his heart clenching a bit.
“Is this girl trying to manipulate me by making me feel bad?”, he was about to speak again but he stopped midway because he suddenly felt dizzy.
The blonde woman saw Aster’s expression and her eyes were filled with care, she stood up and before he could react, she was hugging him from behind, the warmness of her soft voluptuous body pressing against him made Aster feel at ease.
p “Don’t move too much please, my specialty is not healing so you are still recovering, besides don’t worry that girl is not trying to manipulate you, her innate nature makes other living beings empathize with her but it’s not to the point where it can be considered dangerous.
Alesia almost fell from her chair, that monstrous woman was acting like a totally different person “where did all that threatening aura went?” she wondered.
After a moment Aster came out of his daze, as much as he enjoyed being in the woman’s embrace he still wanted to understand what was going on.
“Excuse me lady it’s not that I complain but can I ask who are you?”.
The blonde woman released Aster from her embrace and sat next to him on the golden platform, she told Aster everything that happened after he fainted, seeing that Aster had a suspicious expression she decided to explain her true identity this time.
“I’m… the human form of the golden sword that is in your mind space so… there is no need to doubt about my intentions”, after saying that she looked at Aster’s eyes directly before continuing “you are this empress master after all”.
Aster didn’t know how to react, this woman was making his heart beat faster than normal.
“What the hell is wrong with me” he thought, it’s not like he hasn’t feel like this before, he already experienced this feeling with Lilia, Alice and Aria but it wasn’t to the point where he couldn’t keep his cool like what was happening right now, it was as if he has longed for this to happen for a long time.
“Whatever, I can tell she is not lying and besides… she is freaking hot” he thought, despite her being really tall for a woman, her curves made it so she didn’t look disproportionate, in fact if it weren’t for her height, she would look a bit weird because her ass and tits could only be described as “impressive”.
Aster shook his head to avoid thinking on that before asking.
“What is your name”
The blonde woman seemed relieved after seeing that Aster believed her.
“I don’t have one, although in the past people used to call me Hyperion, since you are my master then… can you give a name?”.
Aster closed his eyes for a moment, he mumbled something before opening them and saying.
“How about, Rya?”.
The woman smiled before answering.
“I like it, from now and onwards I will be Rya”.
Aster was happy that she liked the name he gave her, while he was distracted Rya suddenly moved and… kissed him, Aster froze she even intertwined her tongue with his, after a moment she licked Aster’s lips one last time before separating from him.
Seeing the scene that was developing in front of them the twins were in awe, Aster didn’t know what to think, as he was about to speak, Rya held his face before saying.
“It’s a shame this empress couldn’t be the first one to kiss you ♥, unfortunately if not for the special space of this place I wouldn’t be able to physically appear in this form… yet”.
Aster was still recovring from her surprise attack but he couldn’t help but ask.
“Then… when we leave this place, I won’t be able to see you?”.
Rya smiled.
“Don’t worry, master only needs to reach the earth origin realm and I will be able to take this form in the mind space but for me to materialize in the real world like right now, master would need to surpass the star tribulation realm first”.
Aster felt happy it wouldn’t be that long before he reached the earth origin realm, but then he felt a bit apprehensive, he knew it was not normal to suddenly feel too attached to a woman he just met but he couldn’t help but want Rya to stay with him.
“Well, at least I will be able to speak with her, after we get out of here, I will ask for more information about the stars I guess”.
As if Rya knew what Aster was thinking she explained.
“While it is true that there exists a connection between master and me due to our souls being practically linked which results in a strong attraction to each other, this is not something that happened due to your reincarnation… we have been together for a long time before that”, she then looked at Aster’s eyes directly and said “this empress has never done anything she doesn’t want to, I gave you my first kiss… not because you are my master but because I like you ♥”.
“Besides due to our connection master would be able to tell if I ever were to lie… for now due to some reasons this is all I can explain about our current situation”, Rya knew that it was hard for Aster to believe on her but there was nothing else she could do for now, that is one of the reasons as to why she didn’t communicate with him yet, if it weren’t for Alessia almost killing Aster she wouldn’t have appeared in front of him.
“Humph, making this empress be in such an uncomfortable situation, that little book girl deserves some punishment” she thought, but iternally between letting her master suffer or not being trusted by him she will always choose the latter.
After hearing her Aster had a headache, if what she said was true then there were probably more things behind his reincarnation than what he originally thought, he saw Rya’s complex expression and he knew that she wouldn’t explain anything else for now.
After a moment of contemplation, he sighed, even doubting her made him feel sad, not in the same way that seeing Aylin crying made him feel but it was a deeper sorrow that seemed to came from his own soul, so he simply shrugged, it’s not like he doesn’t have any questions left but at least he was sure that Rya was being honest with her feelings so he decided to accept her, he steeled his resolution before speaking.
“I Aster will never go back on my words, since I once said that no matter who it is as long as a girl makes a way into my heart I will take her for me, then once I go beyond the star tribulation realm… I will make you mine, for now will you call me by my name? it feels a bit weird hearing you calling me “master” every time”.
One might think that having a beauty call you “master” was a man’s dream but that kind of attitude wasn’t fit to Rya, when Aster saw her for the first time, he felt quite impressed by her presence, in fact when she referred at herself as “empress” Aster didn’t find it weird nor arrogant as she had that kind of aura around her.
Rya was happy, a moment ago he was still doubting about her intentions but now her master declared that he will make her his woman, she internally shook her head.
“I have always been yours” she thought before answering.
“Yes… Aster”.
