Chapter 219 - 217: Silveria Is A Threat
Alex and Luna safely returned to the Blue Haven Villa. Gracier could be seen waiting for them, the moment she saw them she dashed toward them and threw herself into her brother's arms.
''Welcome back brother, sister. I thought something bad happened to you. My heart was pounding hard I couldn't stay still as I have the premonition of someone was targeting you. I'm glad you are safe.''
Alex and Luna exchanged looks before Alex petted Gracier's hair.
''As you can see nothing happened we are safe and sound. Your brother isn't easy to bully nor your sister-in-law is.''
Gracier's eyes widened, something indeed happened she thought. Just as she was about to ask, Alex switched the subject.
''Let's go in. We have a piece of good news to announce.''
While saying so, Alex held Gracier with one arm while his free hand was used to drag Luna into the villa.
After ordering Anna, Karen (Another maid) and the others to prepare a feast to celebrate his engagement. Alex left to take a bath.
Naturally, Luna was dragged by both Gracier and Silveria.
Luna almost jumped of fright when she saw Silveria appear, it took her a moment to calm down. She had forgotten Silveria's real identity.
After a few casual chats, the two grew closer and now the three were taking bath while talking.
''Sister Luna, how does it feel to be asked in marriage?"
It was Gracier who raised this question, she was leaning in a gigantic bathtub, opposite of her was Silveria, her hair was tied like Luna, only Gracier had her hair down.
Strangely, this world also has a custom of asking your partner in marriage.
''It was the happiest moment of my life. I was so happy that I almost shouted thinking it was a dream. When the one you love did something like that it's normal for you to be happy. It showed that he acknowledged your feeling and want to spend the rest of his life with you, that he wasn't after your body, after playing with you he would leave. All women must experience this feeling of happiness once.'' Luna said before looking at the two girls.
Even they have not experienced what she experienced, both Silveria and Gracier know it's must be a pretty nice feeling.
''Ah! I hope I will experience something like this in the future.'' Gracier said.
Both Luna and Silveria giggled.
''Of course, you will. Our little princess is a budding Goddess. Men will fall in love, they will do anything for you.'' Silveria said, Luna, nodded while Gracier frowned.
''I don't care. I want someone that will be like my brother. Gentle, strong, and not arrogant.''
Hearing Gracier's words both Luna and Silveria burst into laughter. Gracier's answer couldn't be more obvious. Alex was like the perfect man to her.
Seeing the two laugh, Gracier pouted before she raised a question, ''What about you Sil, don't you want to experience what sister Luna experienced?"
Silence descended upon the whole bathroom. Luna was interested in knowing Silveria's answer. Weapon's spirit or not, Silveria is a girl, it's normal to wish for happiness.
Silveria sighed for a moment before saying, ''I don't think I'm cut for something like that. How can I have time for love when there is a danger lurking in the shadow? And even there isn't it, who will accept his wife to be bound to another man even if there is nothing between them?"
Gracier and Luna couldn't offer any reply. Seeing them reacted like that, Silveria decided to tease them.
''Or are you suggesting that I marry Alex?"
Gracier smiled, not saying anything. It was exactly what she was thinking. To her, Silveria is already Alex's property, so there is no need to find another man. Besides how can a true sister will let go of such a beauty. All beauty shall belong to her brother.
Luna had an unnatural expression when she heard Silveria's question. Judging from Gracier's reaction, the latter wished for something like that. When Luna imagine Silveria being one of Alex's women, somehow it didn't sit well with her.
A feeling of extreme danger assaulted her. Silveria's beauty is unrivaled, she was aware of this. It was because she labeled Silveria as Alex's weapon spirit, not a potential rival that she didn't feel inferior, nor threatened.
However, it would another matter entirely if the latter were to start competing for Alex's love. Luna was afraid to lose even with her status as Alex's childhood sweetheart, his first woman.
A nasty feeling was born inside Luna's heart, she didn't wish to see Alex and Silveria together. It's awful to think like this but it couldn't be helped as the pressure Silveria gave her was too much. She was afraid, really afraid, jealous of Silveria's beauty that can steal any man's heart without doing anything.
Luna knows that her man is different, however, what if Silveria made use of her charms if she wishes to have Alex fall for her? Will Alex resist? The answer is yet to be known. However, there was a small possibility that Alex may fall in love with Silveria if she tried hard. This small possibility frightened Luna to the core.
For a moment Luna's expression went through a myriad of colors, this didn't go unnoticed by Silveria as she had been observing Luna.
Chuckling Silveria, ''Fufufu! You're scared, aren't you?''
Gracier's eyes widened when she heard Silveria's question. For a moment she thought that it was directed at her, however, it wasn't the case, that question was for Luna.
Luna answered honestly, she sees no need to hide it. ''Yes, I am.''
Silveria was surprised, for a moment she didn't say anything. She would have never thought that Luna would answer her question honestly. Most women in her case would have denied, saying there were not afraid.
Finally, Silveria smiled and said, ''Don't worry I will not steal him from you lots as I'm not interested in him.''
Inwardly Silveria was thinking maybe I should. No, no, what I'm thinking?. She immediately shook her head.
The dangerous glint that passed through Silveria's eyes the moment she thought maybe she should give it a try didn't go unnoticed by Luna, she immediately labeled Silveria as a threat, an extreme one at that. She must be treated with extreme caution. With the help of her two sisters maybe they will be able to win.

After the bath and getting dressed, the girls joined Alex and others where they celebrate until late in the night. Gracier was so drunk that she couldn't walk on her own. She wasn't the only one, Anna, the head maids were also drunk. She was the happiest, after all, she is the head of Luna's (1st Wife) Faction.
Gracier was brought to her room by Silveria, tonight she was going to sleep over there to look after Gracier. Before leaving, Silveria winked at her master.
As for Alex and Luna, they went to Alex's room. Tonight was special, their night.
