Rose carefully cleaned Keane’s wounds before applying a healing salve over them.

Healing Potions, Rejuvenation Potions, and Elixirs were unable to heal the injuries received in the Domain of the Ancestral Lands of the Rowan Tribe as there were still the lingering traces of a God’s Divinity in it.

Any injury received by the people who didn’t have the bloodline of the Rowan Tribe running in their veins could only wait for them to heal at a very slow rate.

Only the medicines created by the High Priestesses of the Rowan Tribe could heal these injuries faster.

But even then, it would still take a few days for any injury to heal completely.

Dahlia looked at her husband, who was sitting by her side, with a displeased look on her face.

She had heard everything that happened from Lux, and although she had expected her husband would beat the two boys, she didn’t expect that he intended to encase both of them in a coffin to be buried underground.

This was simply going too far, so Dahlia wasn’t too happy with it.

Of course, she knew that her father, Maximilian, wouldn’t stand idle either if that really happened.

The Patriarch of the Rowan Tribe would, of course, not allow Liam to bury Lux and Keane.

He had been observing the match from the beginning and was only waiting for it to end before he took action.

But Maximilian had to admit that he didn’t expect that Lux would overcome all odds and reverse the situation in his favor.

Also, he had gained a better understanding of the Black Coffin that Lux could summon at any given time.

Despite how the battle ended, Maximilian was very happy that he had managed to matchmake Cai with the Half-Elf.

He was sure that his decision back then was good, but he didn’t anticipate that Lux would grow powerful so quickly, to the point that he even surpassed him and Alexander, who were considered the two strongest beings in the Six Kingdoms. Google seaʀᴄh NovlFire(.)nt

“Does it hurt?” Rose asked as she looked at the swordsman, who hadn’t said a word since she started treating his injuries.

She had just finished bandaging his wounds, and she was feeling very sad that her lover had to suffer so much because of her.

“It doesn’t hurt,” Keane replied.

“Liar.” Rose pouted.

Keane smiled as he pulled the young lady into his embrace, hugging her tightly.

He had completely forgotten that the two of them weren’t alone in the room as he closed his eyes and lightly patted his lover’s head.

Lux, who was looking at this scene, gave his friend a thumbs up in his heart.

Dahlia couldn’t help but smile after seeing how sweet the young man was, despite being someone who didn’t like to talk much.

The Half-Elf looked at his friend, who was hugging the love of his life, before shifting his gaze to Cai, who was also bandaging the injuries he received from the battle.

When she finished bandaging all of Lux’s injuries, she looked at him with concern.

“Does it hurt?” Cai asked.

The Half-Elf gave Keane a sidelong glance and gave him the “watch how it is done” gaze before shifting his attention to the beautiful High Priestess, who was now his fiance.

“It does,” Lux replied. “But if you kiss it, it will no longer hurt.”

Aurora and Adeline looked at the Half-Elf in amusement.

Although they didn’t know what he was thinking, they had a feeling that Lux was doing this on purpose to get back at Liam for what he did to them.

Now that his wife and daughters were angry at him, he didn’t dare to voice his opinions for fear that a certain black coffin would appear and slap him to oblivion.

Cai, who was feeling sorry about what her father had done to Lux, nodded her head.

She then picked up the Half-Elf’s hand and gave it a kiss.

“Does it still hurt?” Cai asked.

“No,” Lux replied. “But this place hurts.”

Lux pointed at his cheek, which had been grazed by one of Liam’s spear strikes.

Cai also kissed that part and then asked what other places Lux still felt hurt.

Seeing that he had already made his point known, he no longer provoked his father-in-law and just whispered in Cai’s ears.

“You can kiss the other places when we are alone inside your room later,” Lux whispered.

The High Priestess blushed, but she still nodded her head.

Keane and Rose, who saw everything from start to finish, stared at each other for half a minute.

After that, the young lady held Keane’s hand and led him upstairs to her room.

She wasn’t as bold as her sister, letting their parents see such intimate scenes without feeling embarrassed.

Rose decided to imitate what Cai had done inside her room, to make the shy swordsman feel a little better despite suffering serious injuries from his fight against her father.

“It’s good to be young,” Cai’s and Rose’s grandmother, Quiana, commented with a smile. “Seeing my granddaughters finding the love of their lives makes me happy. Right, Dahlia?”

“Yes, Mother,” Dahlia replied. “I’m glad that Cai and Rose managed to get good partners.”

Quiana had a very good impression of Lux, for she knew that he was one of the people who helped Cai get the White Lotus, which Maximilian needed in order to find the cure for the Purple Plague that had made countless people suffer.

After curing his tribe, the Patriarch of the Rowan Tribe didn’t hesitate to distribute the cure to the Six Kingdoms, which also had people who suffered from the plague.

This made everyone very grateful to the Rowan Tribe, not knowing that the real heroes were the young men and women who managed to bring the main ingredient back from the Gates of the Apocalypse.

“Lux, Maximilian has told me that you also have other fiances aside from my granddaughter,” Quiana stated. “I believe that Aurora is also one of them, correct?”

“Yes, Grandma,” Lux replied. “She is one of them.”

Aurora smiled as she gently held Lux’s injured hand. She was very happy that Lux was introducing her in this manner, making her feel loved.

“How many lovers do you have exactly?” Quiana asked.

“Right now, I have eight lovers,” Lux answered honestly.

Quiana looked at Lux with surprise. “Oh dear. I didn’t expect that you would have that many women in your life. Are you confident that you can make them all happy?”

“I am not.” Lux shook his head. “But I will definitely do everything in my power to keep them happy.”

The Half-Elf wasn’t conceited enough to declare that he could make all of his lovers happy.

Even so, he had already promised himself that he would do his best, and the rest would be up to his fiances, who loved him very much.

“Lux, can we talk in private?” Quiana asked. “There is something that I would like to ask you personally.”

Lux nodded and readily accepted Quiana’s invitation.

Even though he didn’t know what she wanted to ask him, he had a feeling that this was something that shouldn’t be heard by others.

Even her husband, Maximilian, didn’t insist on coming with them, which proved that whatever Quiana wanted to ask Lux was something that even the Patriarch of the Rowan Tribe was not allowed to know.
