I'm not a sister complex!

After tearing the note in his hand into pieces and flushing it down the sewer, Eros returned to the hall and sat down.

All that's left now is to wait until night falls.

Time passed quietly as the girls in the living room chatted.

At half past six in the evening, Natalia stood at the window and silently watched the last ray of light in the sky being swallowed up by the deep darkness, and then the night enveloped the world.

Will he come?

A hint of worry flashed across Natalia's eyes, something she might not have been so worried about in the past.

But a few days ago, when she went to the party again after half a month, she heard a piece of news at the party.

It was this news that made her a little uneasy, so much so that she hesitated for a long time before sending the message to him through Shadow Crow.

The Lost Island contains fragments of the Goddess of Night's kingdom, and contains the blasphemous secret of how mortals can become gods.

She heard this news at the party, and after hearing it, her head suddenly buzzed and she was filled with panic.

Wasn't this a secret he had kept to himself? Why was it now known to the entire Haidaram secret circle?

He would definitely not tell others such secrets concerning their ancestors.

But why do so many people know about it now? Will he think that he has leaked the secret?

This is what Natalia is most worried about at the moment, and she is also extremely terrified by this.

What if he really thinks that I was the one who leaked the secret and doesn't want to meet me again?

Natalia hesitated and was afraid for a few days, but finally decided to use the opportunity of her promotion to Sequence 6 to invite him to meet her.

Then he explained to him face to face that he was not the one who leaked their family secrets.

But after sending the message, she began to worry again. What if he ignored the message after receiving it?

Natalia waited anxiously for a whole day, and now the night was finally approaching.

Will he...come?

"Mom! It's time to have dinner."

Ayesha stuck her little head out of the kitchen door and shouted to her mother who was standing by the window staring outside.

This mother is not sensible at all. She just waits for food every day and does nothing else.

She is so grown up, and I, as her daughter, still have to take care of her. Ayesha pouted, with a depressed look on her face.

Natalia, who was standing by the window, shook her head after hearing her daughter's words, and said reluctantly:

"You eat first, don't worry about me."

Aisha nodded, then brought the prepared dinner to the table and started eating alone.

Natalia: “…”

No, you really want to eat alone first?

What I meant by saying that was that I just wanted you to persuade me, and then I ate it reluctantly.

Isn't it obvious what I meant? Why did you really eat it first?

Natalia took a deep breath. What a terrible daughter she was. She was so ignorant and only cared about eating all day.

I don’t know how the heir to the elven bloodline could fall in love with her given her appearance.

Natalia was depressed for a while, but finally followed her appetite, walked to the dining table, sat down, put her chest on the table, and dealt with the food in front of her without saying a word.

After dinner, Natalia stood by the window and waited for a while. When she saw that the man still didn't come, a hint of disappointment appeared in Natalia's eyes.

She let out a long sigh, calmed herself down, and then walked towards the entrance to the basement.

Seeing this scene, Ayesha said with some concern:

"Mom, why don't you try to get promoted again in a few days? You're not in the right mood for a promotion right now."

"It won't be too late to get promoted after you've sorted out your mentality in a few days."

Hearing her daughter's words, Natalia shook her head and said:

"I can control my mentality, no problem."

As she spoke, she continued to walk towards the basement. Ayesha wanted to follow her, but was stopped by Natalia:

“When I advance to Sequence 6, I will ignite the spiritual fire to communicate with the spirit world. By then, there will surely be many strange things trying to erode my soul.”

"If you get too close to me, you'll be easily affected by those strange things, so just wait for me outside the basement."

Seeing that her daughter's face was still full of worry, Natalia comforted her softly:

"Don't worry, I'm sure of it."

After saying that, she walked into the basement.

At the entrance to the basement, after her mother entered, Ayesha moved a small stool and sat there waiting quietly.

In the basement, Natalia had just sat down in the auxiliary ritual formation that had been set up in advance.

The next second, a figure shrouded in shadow walked out from her shadow and hugged her in his arms.

"Why don't you wait until I get here before trying to get promoted!"

Hearing the slightly distorted words behind her and feeling the familiar embrace, Natalia confirmed the identity of the person behind her in just a moment.

She ignored the hug from the person behind her, but turned around and hugged him tightly, then said in a somewhat anxious tone:

"Listen to my explanation first!"

Eros paused for a moment. Huh? What happened?

Fortunately, Eros didn't have to wait any longer. After Natalia finished speaking, she continued:

"The news that there are fragments of the Goddess of Night's Kingdom on the Lost Island was not leaked by me."

Eros blinked, and in just a moment he understood what was going on.

So, he coughed lightly and said, "Of course I believe you, otherwise I wouldn't have come here this time."

Hearing that the man in front of her believed in her, Natalia finally felt relieved.

Seeing Natalia's tense expression relax, Eros snorted:

"How dare you doubt my trust in you? You deserve to be punished!"

Hearing the man's pointed words, Natalia blushed and said with a little shyness:

"I have to get promoted later, and... and Ayesha is still outside..."

Eros lowered his head and bit Natalia's fair cheek, and said in a vague tone:

"That's why it's called a punishment! Otherwise it would be a reward."

"I told you to misunderstand me. I trusted you so much, but you still misunderstood me and thought I would suspect that you leaked the information."

A trace of shame flashed across Natalia's face. Seeing Natalia like this, Eros knew that the time was almost right.

Then, Eros reached out his hand, lifted Natalia's pretty chin and chuckled:

"Accept your punishment obediently."

“But I have to be promoted later, and the ritual formation has been carved on the ground. If I mess it up... I..."

Natalia, with a blushing face, made her final struggle.

Eros looked around the basement and saw that the ritual formation had indeed been carved on the ground.

Natalia breathed a sigh of relief when she felt the man in front of her stop moving.

Just when she thought she could escape this time, the man in front of her suddenly lowered his head and whispered in her ear:

“There shouldn’t be any ritual formations carved at the entrance to the basement, right?”

Natalia's eyes widened. The entrance to the basement? Ayesha was still outside, just a door away. This... this...
