My Wife is the Asura Empress

Tears welled up in her eyes as she continued, "He said it was a conspiracy, a dark plot by the Rainheart clan and others to keep their secrets hidden. They were working together, secretly plotting against the Shamor Empire. When Big Brother discovered some evidence that could expose them, they decided to eliminate him, making it look like he was killed by humans."

As Helia shared the shocking revelations, Rio and Lia exchanged astonished glances, their expressions reflecting the disbelief they felt upon hearing the truth.

Helia paused, trying to contain her emotions, "I couldn't believe it. All these years, I've harbored hatred towards humans, blaming them for big brother Leon's death. But the truth was, it was our own people who had betrayed us."

She took a deep breath before continuing, "Big Brother also told me that they poisoned Mother and Uncle. The great clans, except for the Mistblade clan and Spirit Heart Sect, were all involved in his death. They sent their most skilled experts after him when he went to retrieve medicine for Mother."

Lia's fists clenched tightly, her anger simmering as she struggled to process the cruel betrayal her brother Leon had suffered.

Sensing her distress, Rio gently placed his hand on her shoulder, offering comfort in the face of such heartrending revelations.

Helia continued to recount how Leon was on the brink of death, a blue-haired lady fought the enemies to buy him time to open a glyph teleportation portal to see his little sister one last time.

The blonde-haired beauty's eyes filled with tears as the weight of speaking the truth bore down on her. Even now it was hard for her to believe that the people she had trusted and respected had caused so much pain and suffering, including the loss of her own brother. All the years of animosity towards humans now seemed so pointless.

Helia's voice trembled as she admitted her guilt and regret for mistreating Rio, all based on her misguided beliefs.

Beside her, Lia listened in shock and disbelief, surprised at the extent of betrayal within the empire and the countless people who conspired against the royal family.

Helia had understood that her misplaced hatred had driven her to push away someone who genuinely cared for her, and she couldn't help but feel remorse for her past actions.

As they were engulfed in sadness, Rio offered his silent support to Helia and Lia, knowing that words alone could not comfort them.

He understood that he needed to become stronger to face the numerous enemies that awaited them in the future.

After some time, Nyla joined them and learned the truth as well. She forgave Helia for her past mistakes and lamented that Helia had endured her suffering all alone for so long.

The following morning, they shared a meal together for the first time in six months. Although Helia had not yet fully recovered, she was able to join them at the dining table with the help of her sisters.

Despite the lingering pain from the betrayals and the knowledge of upcoming battles and enemies, they took comfort in one another's company and looked ahead to the challenges they would face together.

As the sun began to set and the sky started to darken, Nyla and Rio prepared for the day ahead on Earth, as it would be morning there. They knew that the quarter-finals of the international tournament were about to start, and if they wanted to make it to the semi-finals, they had to be at their very best.

They made their way to the grand stadium in White-Bridge City, where the atmosphere was filled with thrill and excitement. The audience was buzzing with anticipation, eagerly awaiting the start of the quarter-finals. The battle arena was set up, and it was clear that no expense had been spared to make it a grand spectacle.

As the crowd settled into their seats, the large screen lit up, displaying the top four contestants for the quarter-final matches. Every eye in the stadium was fixed on the screen, and there was a noticeable tension in the air as they waited to see who would be fighting whom.

The names of the contestants appeared on the screen, and three out of the four were children of the Seven Silver Sword family. The audience held their breath, knowing that this was going to be an intense and thrilling match.

As the names rotated on the screen, Nyla's heart began to race, wondering who her opponent would be.

The screen eventually came to a halt, revealing Nyla Mailon versus Rio Havenglow and Lily Havenglow versus George Garcia.

A look of disbelief and shock washed over Nyla's face as she realized that she would be facing off against her beloved sweetie in the upcoming match.

As the crowd buzzed with excitement, Nyla felt a pang of nervousness and sadness, knowing that only one of them could move on to the semifinals. The thought of having to fight Rio, who was too precious for her, made her heart heavy with emotion.

The murmurs and whispers from the audience grew louder as the news of the childhood sweethearts, which were rumors, battling each other spread throughout the stadium. Everyone was wondering how the match would unfold and which of the two would emerge victorious.

Nyla's thoughts were in turmoil, torn between her love for Rio and the upcoming battle. She was anxious about how everyone would react when she faced Rio in the arena, and she wondered what she should do.

As countless thoughts raced through her mind, an air of uncertainty loomed, leaving the outcome of their encounter hanging in the balance...

Meanwhile, Rio faced a similar dilemma, contemplating the possibility of forfeiting the battle instead of fighting Nyla and risking harm to her.

As the clock ticked down, both their fates remained uncertain, and the tension continued to build.

What would happen when the two lovers finally faced each other in the arena?
