Rise of The Anti God (Web Novel)

Valentina looked at him with her big ruby red eyes and then looked at Moonblade as she said with a smile, "No...you won this...but I can play with her whenever I want, right?"

Seeing how excited she was, Damien happily said, "Of course. I am sure she will enjoy your company."

"Oh, and today I want you to meet someone officially and get acquainted. Can you do that for me?" Damien asked as he maintained his gaze with hers.

Valentina stared at him for a few moments before asking in a veiled tone, "Is it Yuria?"

Damien slowly nodded, knowing that his women would anyway have to sort out things between them sooner or later, and he thought that today would be an apt time. He had already asked Yuria to wait for him in her secret room tonight.

Now that King Krisen knew everything, he was sure that Yuria would have no trouble at all sneaking out of the palace at night.

"You don't want to? It's fine if you don't want to go today. But I thought that you would like Yuria once you get to know her more. I am sure you feel that too since you met her already," Damien said in a gentle tone.

Valentina looked down as she fidgeted with her fingers, remembering her meeting with Yuria before and how she felt complicated when she interacted with her.

It was like she wanted to get rid of her but at the same time wanted to know her more as well.

She was not oblivious and realized that moving on, she might be seeing more women at Damien's side, especially Lily. So she knew she couldn't have Damien all to herself since she learned that Damien was not the kind of person who abandons his women once he falls in love with them, and that was one of the reasons she loved him so much.

She also wanted to make Damien happy and said in a low voice as she drew circles on the bed, "Okay...I can meet with her."

Damien happily smiled and hugged her, making her smile, "I know it's not fair to you, but...I am very lucky and happy that you are my woman. Not a day goes by where I thank fate for bringing us together in that forest."

Valentina suddenly forgot about everything else as his words made her heart flutter and hugged him back, feeling very happy and thinking that maybe she had unnecessary worries and that no matter how many women he had, his love for her would never change.

Soon, it was night, and even if almost all the other participants left, Damien and Valentina got to keep their room since they were here as Tristen's people, and because King Krisen already announced Tristen's extended stay, it was normal for them to stay as well.

Damien and Valentina sneaked off to the back of the palace where they entered the grove, and Damien remembered where the small underground door was that led to Yuria's secret underground room.

"Finally! I was waiting for you two, especially you, Valentina," Yuria said with gleaming eyes as she saw Valentina pull back her hood to reveal her long exotic rosy pink hair.

Valentina had muddled thoughts since she was feeling a bit nervous about this whole meeting and also felt awkward at the same time since the last time she met Yuria was by pressing a sword against her neck.

Yuria, however, acted as if there was no tension between them and pulled her inside and made her sit on a chair as she said, "Damien, I can't believe how you scored such a beautiful girl. Hope you didn't kidnap the daughter of heaven or something," Yuria said in a teasing tone, making Damien amusedly smile as he said, "I didn't have to kidnap her. She found me."

Valentina felt flattered as she smiled with pink cheeks and felt less nervous in Yuria's presence.

"Hmm, I should capture her beauty in a paper. You would like that, wouldn't you, Valentina?" Yuria asked in a spirited tone.

"Capture? How?" Valentina felt confused and didn't understand what she meant by capturing her beauty on paper.

Yuria quickly took a canvas from behind her and showed it to Valentina, "See, on this, I will paint your portrait and let you see for yourself how beautiful you are."

"But I can just look in the mirror, right?" Valentina didn't understand why she would need someone to paint her just to look at her own appearance when she could just use a mirror.

Yuria waved her hand, "Oh, no, no. What we see in the mirror is boring and colorless. A painting can reveal more than just your appearance, like your inner self, which you might not even have realized before. You will understand what I mean when I am done painting yours."

Yuria then sat down on a chair opposite Valentina and set up her canvas before starting to paint. She was very excited to paint a portrait, especially Valentina's, since her beauty was too bewitching and alluring for her to resist painting her.

Valentina felt interested and curious after hearing Yuria describe painting since she herself never really looked at paintings much before and wanted to see how a painting of herself would look like.

Damien sat down on another chair, looking at these two with a smile while thinking to himself that once he saves Lily, then he would be leading a very good life in this world with the people he loved.

Meanwhile, the news of King Krisen welcoming Tristen to stay for one more week spread like wildfire as gossips of a marriage alliance between the imperial family and the Krisen Kingdom were moving around before it finally reached the ears of the imperial family themselves, especially the Gale Emperor who smiled with a glint of surprise in his eyes.
