Priestess Of The Land

Waking up a few hours later, Tria found herself in the warm embrace of Crei as he slept soundly. She smiled as she admired his handsome features.

"Wifey, I hope you are enjoying the view?"

he suddenly said with his eyes closed and caught her off guard.

"You're awake?" she asked as she cleared her throat.

"Hmm, come, keep husband company a while longer," he said then grabbed onto Tria's waist bringing her closer to him.

"You smell so good, " he whispered into her ears and buried his face into her back.

Tria's heart beat wildly at the magnetic voice vibrating into her ears, and goosebumps raised onto her skin at his touch.

Crei could be very charismatic and enchanting when he was domineering with her and she enjoyed it. It made her feel like a girl back on earth again who enjoyed watching romantic movies.

She did not resist his hug and even made herself comfortable.

'He is my husband, ' she thought.

She had already accepted him since early on, and he had fully proven himself worthy of her feelings.

As such, they fell back into sleep again, for another four hours.

They did not wake up until late, and when they did, Lord Aten was waiting on Crei so he could take him away to drink.

Tria was happy to know that this girl's body's mother had such a great brother who cared for her. Unlike the rest of the Ashir family, who only knew how to bully her.

She washed up and then went outside to see the others. However, when she went outside, she was startled by the unified gasps that echoed her way. Except for Mexi and Chukah, everyone else was shocked at how beautiful Tria's real face was.

"Senior Sister?" asked Ka'an filled with doubts.

"Hmm...what's the matter? Did something happened?" asked Tria in returned, confused.

"You are so pretty!!!" answered Ka'an as she got close to Tria, trying to hug her but she was stopped by Mexi.

"What are you doing?" asked Mexi.

"Hm sister Mexi, you knew senior sister was such a beauty, why didn't you tell us?

" Didn't you all eventually find out? tch, keep your hands to yourself" said Mexi, not only did she have to keep lecherous men away, now Ka'an was added to the list. Mexi felt a headache coming, this girl was too much trouble.

Tria just sat on the side and watched them argue, their bickering was her entertainment. These guys have unexpectedly become her family, and she cared about every one of them.

As Tria was enjoying her reality show on one side, Crei was currently sitting down with Lord Aten, enjoying some wine that he claimed has been fermenting for centuries.

"Nephew-in-law, how is it that I am getting inebriated and you're not?" asked Lord Aten while he glared at Crei.

"Uncle-in-law, it's because I have a very high tolerance for alcohol, besides I am also a winemaker, I have a collection of real wine at my manor if you ever get to visit, we shall go for another round."

"You can make wine!? Hahaha, great, my trip to the Sun Land will be sooner than expected, nephew-in-law just enjoy this one for now, and save the best for later, " said Lord Aten

as he did not bother to pour the win in a cup anymore, and simply gulped it down from the bottle.

At this moment, a servant had come and informed him of visitors.

"My Lord, Noble Sabir and Her Lady Nadine have come."

Lord Aten was stunned.

"What for?" he asked with a frown.

"They did not say, my Lord, " answered the servant.

"Have them come here, " Lord Aten ordered as he shooed away the servant with a wave.

Not long after, a tall gentleman, along with a woman both wearing blue gowns showed up in the room.

"My Lord, " they said in unison to greet Lord Aten.

"Hm, why are you here?" asked Lord Aten with a serious tone, it's as if he was not drinking just a moment ago, he had completely sobered up at the sight of the two new people.

Crei was still sitting across from Lord Aten, he was not asked to leave, therefore there was no reason for him to. He simply kept his eyes away from the three.

The woman who had come, saw Crei on her arrival and her eyes had lit up to see such a handsome man, and a sovereign as well. Her eyes flickered but she did not dare to be disrespectful in front of Lord Aten.

"My Lord, pardon our intrusion, we have come to request a journey to the other lands to investigate the new priestess who was awoken. We were able to witness the light of her ceremony from here, therefore she is not far, " said the man. He had taken a few looks at Crei, although he did not want to speak in front of a stranger about such information, however, he was Lord Aten's guest, he had no right to exclude him.

"You want to investigate the new priestess? For what?" asked Lord Aten with an eyebrow raised.

Noble Sabir had come with this request thinking getting an approval from Lord Aten would have been an easy feat. The Lord had never shown interest in such affairs, therefore he had never shared the discoveries he had made about the ancient priestesses. Now that he was asked about why he wanted to find her, he could not lie about what he had uncovered.
