My Wife is the Asura Empress

Having put enough distance between themselves and the onlookers, Rio found a secluded spot to land. After making sure they were alone, he prepared to cast the [Astral Recall] spell. Layla, surprised by the sudden burst of light, chose to trust Rio and refrained from questioning his actions.

Moments later, they found themselves in Lia's luxurious bedroom. Layla glanced around, taking in the king-sized bed, the elegant dressing table, and the room's overall regal ambiance. She turned to Rio, her eyes seeking answers.

As Layla looked at him questioningly, Lia and Nyla burst into the room, their footsteps echoing with urgency as they sensed Rio's and Layla's arrival. f𝑟e𝙚𝒘𝗲𝚋𝚗oѵ𝘦𝙡. c𝒐m

Layla's eyes widened when she saw Lia, and she recognized Nyla.

'White hair, scarlet eyes, otherworldly beauty... This must be ...'

Piecing together their surroundings, Layla concluded that this must be the place where Rio's wife, the Asura Empress, lived. The person alongside Nyla was none other than Lia, whom he had mentioned before. Furthermore, Rio might have used a secret spell to bring them here.

Lia and Nyla's eyes were filled with concern as they took in Rio's tattered clothes.

The white-haired beauty approached him, anxiously checking him for injuries.

"How did this happen?" she asked in a shaken tone, her voice flickering with love and care.

"I'll explain everything later, For now, you should welcome her." " Rio replied with a soft smile and gestured towards Layla, who stood beside him.

Lia had noticed Layla earlier, but her concern for Rio had taken precedence. As she inspected Rio for injuries, she found nothing to worry about. The boy had already been healed by Eve's spell while riding Cloudgrace, and the [Life Sutra] had helped him regain his stamina and recover quickly from the battle.

With Rio's well-being confirmed, Lia turned her attention to Layla, knowing who she was. The two girls locked eyes, their expressions tense, as if sizing each other up for an impending battle.

The atmosphere in the room was charged, yet each of them knew they needed to find a way to coexist for the sake of the man they both loved.

Seeing Layla's intense gaze, Lia's eyes softened, and she decided to break the ice, hoping to make the situation less uncomfortable for the young maiden. She knew that she had come between Layla and Rio, so she wanted to try her best to establish peace between them.

Lia greeted Layla with a warm smile, saying, "Welcome to our family, Layla. I truly hope there are no hard feelings between us because of how things happened with Rio and me."

"Welcome, sister Layla," Nyla added cheerfully, her lively tone lifting the mood.

Layla glanced at Rio, seeking an explanation, even though she knew who they were, but she still needed clarification. Sensing her gaze, Rio hesitantly introduced everyone in the room.

"Layla, this is Lia, the girl who became my wife first... and this is Nyla, who also shares my life as a wife.

Lia, Nyla, this is Layla, the girl who's been with me since the beginning – my childhood best friend, my first love, and the person who was my family when I was all alone."

Although Rio had introduced each of them with great respect and love, the boy's voice wavered, feeling the gravity of the situation.

The atmosphere was tense, but it was clear that everyone was trying their best to navigate this delicate and complicated situation, understanding the importance of finding harmony for Rio's sake.

Lia approached Layla with a warm smile and said, "I know it must be surprising for you to come here and meet me so suddenly, but it seems fate has brought us together. We both hold important places in Rio's heart, and we have to accept that... I can only apologize for taking Rio away from you, but I won't let you have him all to yourself."

"Ah..." Rio and Nyla were momentarily speechless at Lia's daring declaration.

Layla's eyes flashed with a mixture of emotions, but before she could object, Lia continued, "However, I want you to have an equal place in his life and in our small family. I will share this bedroom with you, which until now has been mine and Rio's.

You will be treated as the main wife in the family, and I will even listen to your decisions since you were the first person to take care of Husband and love him."

Lia's gentle voice took them all by surprise. It was clear that she knew how to win everyone's hearts. She realized that if they wanted to continue as one family, they needed to have no bitterness in their beautiful bond, and Lia didn't want to cause a mess.

Layla hadn't expected the Asura Empress to be so kind and understanding, especially considering the long-standing grudge between humans and Asuras. Yet, as she met Lia, she grasped why Rio had married her and even accepted her as part of his life.

She looked at Lia thoughtfully before speaking, "I have to admit, I was taken aback when I learned about the marriage between an Asura Empress and a human. But now that I have met you, I understand why Rio loves and respects you so much.

I deeply admire you, Lia, not just for being an empress, but for being an exceptional ideal wife. Your selflessness and ability to prioritize your husband's happiness are truly remarkable.

You embody the qualities of both an empress and an ideal wife, knowing when to step back for the sake of your husband's happiness. If Rio and I are together today, it's because of you. You've helped him grow stronger and recover his memories. Thank you for taking such good care of my Rio."

The sincerity and understanding in both of their words revealed the depth of their love for Rio.
