“No,” Xyla Quest replied.“In that case, I’ll continue cooking. Call me whenever you need me,” Stanley Batton said.“Okay.”He then made his way back to the kitchen. Xyla’s teammates could hear their conversation as the microphone picked up everything, even the audience on Alex's livestream channel unbeknownst to them.On the livestream channel—“Stanley is so considerate in his private life.”“Ahh, I’m so jealous of their romance.”“He still needs to cook for his wife at home despite being a powerful man, haha!”“Good husbands always belong to other people! Sob!” “I feel like Stanley is Xyla’s slave. How can such a good husband exist?”“They’re the best couple in the world. Xyla is the luckiest woman alive. I want to become her. Nobody stops me!”Meanwhile, Xyla remained oblivious to the comments made.Completely engrossed with the game, Xyla had no idea how many people were envious of her or how many women wished to become Mrs. Stanley Batton right then.Everyone was

On the livestream channel—“Ahh, I can’t believe my eyes!”“Xyla: I can kill all four of you all by myself.”“Xyla: Come on, keep trying to bully me. Watch as I kill all of you.”“Those haters can come out and do a livestream of themselves doing a handstand while they poop.”“Why are all the haters so quiet now?”“Xyla: You guys don’t know the pro moves. Let me teach you.”Meanwhile, all the haters fell silent.Xyla remained oblivious about the comments as her champion returned to the city to buy potions in the game.“Let’s go to the dragon’s pit,” she told her teammates.As much as the audience was impressed by her moves earlier, Xyla felt equally impressed with herself as she felt a sense of satisfaction at how she had significantly improved so far.Her teammates began praising her over their microphones, including Alex, who never offered anyone compliments.After defeating the dragon, they ended the game with a single wave.Xyla felt a little tired, so she set her lapto

Meanwhile, Stanley Batton sat at the main seat, perusing his phone while waiting for the two ladies.He had to prepare more food to account for the extra headcount in the house, cooking six dishes with soup in total.The spread looked and smelled great; he had cooked meatballs, sweet and sour pork ribs, mashed potatoes, stir-fried prawns, spicy clams, abalones, and melon soup.The inspiration to make meatballs struck him out of the blue for some inexplicable reason, even though Xyla wasn't particularly fond of it.It was as if there was a strange force that compelled him to make the dish, leaving him to feel guilty if he didn't.The dining room light shone elegantly on his fair skin, making it appear brighter than usual, but there was also an aloofness about him.He was the kind of man that was out of reach for most commoners.Approximately ten minutes later, Xyla and Sophie walked hand-in-hand happily into the dining room, the latter's eyes lit up at the sight of the meatballs

Sophie Kenwick had an expectant look in her eyes. “What is it, Master? There’s nothing I wouldn’t tell you, so you can ask me anything."Xyla Quest continued to gaze at Sophie with a somber expression. “Was there a female commander who died for you in the past?”Sophie immediately shook her head when she heard this. “No, why do you ask?”Xyla felt deeply confused by her reply.“No? How could that be?” she asked, remembering that vision she had seen from before. Sophie thought it over carefully and tried to recall, then she nodded with certainty.“Yes, I’m very sure there wasn’t.”Xyla instantly frowned. If that was the case, then what was that scene earlier? Did Sophie somehow forget, or did it never happen in the first place?If it never happened, why would she recollect it? Her mind couldn’t possibly have made it up out of nowhere, could it?Sophie seemed confused and curious. “Yeah, what’s the matter?”“A memory resurfaced in my mind. I recall being a female commander who

The word ‘Walrus’ was displayed in bold on the battle flag.Stanley Batton frowned deeply, an incredible idea just occurring to him. He turned to look at Sophie Kenwick with a solemn expression. “Was your brother wearing silver armor when he fought in the war?”Sophie nodded, a look of surprise evident in her eyes. “Yes, how did you know?”“Did he wield a large silver blade as his weapon?” he added.“Yes,” she nodded again.“In that case, I might very likely be your brother,” Stanley wondered out loud as he scrutinized her.The vision in his mind must have belonged to his past. Otherwise, why would he have someone else's memory appearing in his mind?Combined with all his unusual reactions after meeting Sophie, Stanley felt increasingly convinced.Sophie and Xyla Quest were both shocked by what they heard.“What?” they uttered simultaneously.Stanley then told Sophie about his vision earlier.“Did that person have a small snake tattoo on the back of his right hand?” she as

“Also, I can no longer make you my bodyguard since you are my husband’s younger sister." Xyla Quest said. “We ought to be equals.”However, Sophie Kenwick quickly shook her head. “That’s fine, I don’t mind. I’m more than willing to be your bodyguard.”“How could I let my sister-in-law be my bodyguard? Naturally, you should stay at home and live like a princess,” Xyla told her.“Have you forgotten that the god said I must protect you? How could I protect you at all times if I stayed at home?”Xyla had no retort.“It’s been decided. I’m sure my brother will be fine with it, right?” Sophie asked as she glanced innocently at Stanley, who was next to her.He smiled. “Yeah, as long as you’re happy.”Xyla shook her head. “You two are ridiculous.”“How else will this work?” Sophie asked.Xyla didn’t know what to say, not seeing any other alternative.After letting out a long and helpless sigh, Xyla nodded. She then pinched her forehead in exhaustion.Sophie cheered up immensely when

The man gave Sophie some water and medicine, acting very patient and solemn as he carried out every action carefully.After this scene ended, another one instantly appeared to Stanley Batton.It took place during one bright afternoon, the young man brought Sophie Kenwick along with him to poke a beehive in the palace courtyard before running off frantically.However, they couldn’t escape the bees in time, resulting in both their faces being covered with marks of stings and bites.Stanley smiled when he saw that memory.He then slowly looked at Sophie. “Soph, did we jab beehives in the past?”She immediately started laughing. “Yes! Hahaha, I said I wanted a honeycomb, and that was why you brought me along to jab it. You told me there was a honeycomb inside. You were twelve, and I was eleven then,” she told him. "We were silly, coming to think about it."“Indeed, we didn’t seem too smart.” His smile widened as she laughed along.Xyla Quest could not resist laughing too. How could

“Hmm? What’s the matter, Honey?” Stanley Batton asked with a sober expression on his face.“If you have time tomorrow, take Soph to shop for some clothes. She can’t keep wearing my old clothes, can she? I’ll be rather busy during this period, so I won’t have time to go shopping with her,” Xyla Quest explained.Stanley came up with a plan in his mind. “In that case, let’s do it tomorrow afternoon. Are you fine with that, Soph?”“I’m fine wearing Xyla’s old clothes, though,” Sophie answered.“I’ll buy you new ones,” Stanley insisted. Since Sophie was his sister, he would take good care of her.“Okay. Thank you, Brother.”Sophie didn’t feel embarrassed about having her brother buy her clothes as she was used to him pampering her with acts of kindness in the past. So, she accepted his gesture gratefully.“Oh, right. Soph, you don’t have a phone yet. I have a few brand new phones in my room, so you can pick whichever you would like. I’ll teach you how to use it later,” Xyla offered.
