"Aaah~" Nero let out a sigh of pleasure as he dipped under the river.

He opened his eyes underwater and muttered something as he stared at the sky.

Soon after, someone threw a stone at him, and a voice followed it, "I am ready."

Nero immediately sat up and looked back to see Emilia standing naked— covering her private parts with her hands.

Sophia was standing behind Emilia in her angel form, and she was covering her body with a single piece of cloth.

"I will go enjoy the waterfall." Sophia walked to the waterfall and sat under it.

Nero leaned on the edge and patted his lap while looking at Emilia, "Come here."

Emilia slowly walked to him and sat on his lap— face to face, then said, "I feel so refreshed now."

"I am glad to hear that."

Nero started licking water drops from Emilia's chest, then from her neck, then face, and eventually kissed her.

"Are we going to do it here?" Emilia asked in a calm voice.

"Do you want to?" Nero asked with a grin on his face.

Emilia puckered her lips and bumped her forehead with Nero, "You always make me say it."

Sophia was enjoying her bath under the waterfall— wearing a single piece of cloth on her body. The pressure of the waterfall wasn't that high, so Sophia was able to relax and cultivate her spirit cores.

She was feeling soothing and calm, and her senses had gotten sharp, so she could hear the sound of water hitting the stones and the sound of water flowing crisp and clear.

'This reminds me of the waterfall from heaven near the garden,' Sophia recalled her buried memories.

Suddenly, the calm and soothing sound was mixed with Emilia's moans.

Sophia immediately opened her eyes and frowned her face.

"They are the worst," she sighed and shook her head in disbelief.

Sophia listened to the moans for about ten minutes before dashing out from the waterfall.

"Can't you let me enjoy at least a single moment in peace?!" she yelled but stopped when she saw Emilia drinking Nero's essence.

She sighed and sat on the opposite edge of Emilia and Nero.

"What's wrong?" Emilia turned to Sophia and asked, "You look extra angry today."

"Nothing."

Emilia squinted her eyes and stared at Sophia.

"It's truly nothing. I don't know why I am feeling so annoyed today," Sophia replied.

Emilia made some space on Nero's lap and said, "Do you want to sit here?"

Sophia closed her eyes and leaned back to the edge.

"What's wrong with her?" Emilia whispered to Nero.

"Emilia," Nero turned Emilia around and said, "I have something important to tell you."

"What?" Emilia wondered with a curious yet calm look on her face.

"I found out where Darius is, and I will soon hunt him down."

"Okay."

Nero raised his brows and asked, "Is there anything you want to say or do?"

"Like?"

"I don't know. Maybe you can kill him yourself after I immobilize him?"

"Hmm~ Maybe. Since he is the one responsible for Matt's death, but I guess I just want to enjoy seeing him screaming in pain and begging for your mercy. And then you will torture him and slowly kill him." Emilia asserted nonchalantly.

Nero grinned after hearing Emilia's reply and patted her head. "I also have something else to say."

"Hmm?"

"I am trying to make you less human by feeding you my milk."

"What… do you mean?" Emilia asked with a confused look on her face.

"Humans… are weak. And I am trying to take your humanity from you, are you okay with that?" Nero asked and waited for Emilia's answer.

"I don't understand. What will happen to me if I lose my humanity?"

"Nothing. It's not like you will stop being a human. And I can't force you to change your race for my selfishness," Nero sneered.

Emilia hugged Nero and rubbed her wet body against his before saying, "I don't care as long as I am with you."

Nero rubbed his chin on Emilia's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Can I drink your blood? It's been a while since I last drank some."

After a brief silence, Emilia uttered, "Go ahead."

Nero Opened his mouth and pierced his fangs on Emilia's neck.

"Mm~" Emilia moaned in pleasure. 

Sophia woke up as soon as she heard Emilia moaning, and stood up.

"I am going to the carriage and prepare horses," Sophia changed her form and left the scene.

After about two minutes, Nero and Emilia walked to the carriage only to see Sophia wasn't there.

Nero started packing and used his God's eyes to search Sophia— but Nero couldn't find her.

He then remembered how many times Sophia had threatened him that she would leave him if he did something she didn't like. 

"Sophi!" Nero yelled.

"What is it? And stop yelling," Sophia uttered as she walked out of the bushes.

"...." Nero was speechless.

After a brief moment of silence and staring at each other, Nero furrowed his brows then asked, "Where were you?"

"I was just strolling around. What about you? Why do you look so scared and out of breath?" Sophia glanced back and forth at Emilia and Nero.

"I thought you left me," Nero sighed in relief.

"Why would I leave you?"

Nero used his God's eyes again and looked at Sophia. "Why aren't you shining?"

Nero used his God's eyes before to find Sophia easily, but he couldn't detect her. And even now, too, Nero's God's eyes weren't reacting to Sophia.

"I tried to cultivate my spirit cores, but it's been so long, so I thought I should start over, and that's why I reset all my cores to create new ones," Sophia replied without any pause.

Nero hugged Sophia tightly and kept hugging her.

Confused, Sophia glanced at Emilia, but she just gave thumbs up to Sophia in response. Sophia was even more confused, but she enjoyed special attention from Nero.

After driving the carriage for about thirty more minutes, they reached a small settlement near the bank of the river.

"Are we going to spend the night here since it's already evening now?" Emilia asked as she jumped down from the carriage.

"Probably not. I have something to do at the church. Once we are done, we will leave."

Nero and the rest made their way to the church. And unlike the church in the Astrared, this one had believers, and it was maintained well.

"This church also has an orphanage, and that's the reason why we are here." Nero tapped on the wooden door and made his presence known.
