Brother, feed me too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Primula jumped out of her chair and came running to him with a plate full of pastries in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Out of the way, shorty!\" Sarah stood between the little girl and her brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shorty? You're the shorty! Your whole family is shorty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah placed her hand on her hips and looked down at the pouting little girl with a teasing expression. \"I'm your sister-in-law, correct?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-What about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then we're family. If everyone in my family is shorty, you're also shorty. See, you just admitted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh!\" Primula's jaw dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah turned around and the teasing expression on her face turned into a pitiful one, with moist eyes and pursed lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stretching her arms toward him, the Queen asked with a pitiful expression. \"Var,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm very hungry. My tummy hurts so much. Can you feed me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the plate he filled for her in which most of the food was still left, Evander looked up at the sky and cursed in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Why? Why? Why does that bastard have such a sway on my daughter?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…You can use this.\" Hazel gave him a kerchief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks.\" Evander nodded with a serious expression before covering his face with it. \"C-Can you imagine spending your entire life waiting for someone? And living with the fear that it might never come true?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hazel's expression dimmed a little before it brightened. \"My life is exactly that. But I'm already very satisfied with what I have. I really have no complaints.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evander froze and then looked at Hazel in surprise. Then, his face lit up and he nodded vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm also very satisfied. But my old heart…haaah~ I guess I'll just have to survive until it happens.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evander stood up and threw an apple at Varian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fruit was supposed to hit him in the face. But the cunning Varian opened his mouth and bit the fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grinding his teeth in frustration, Evander left with cool words. \"I'll focus on my training and live as long as I can. Pseudo divine, here I come!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evander leaving abruptly was the least of Varian's concerns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he's being beseiged by three parties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feed me, brother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Var, your Queen is very, very hungry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Primula kept trying to jump into his lap and Sarah placed her hand on the little girl's head, keeping her down while she leaned forward with moist eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that's not it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Husband, it's been a long time since I rested on your lap and got fed. We only did it three million times back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isadora said with a nostalgic smile while throwing out a staggering number just to frustrate Sarah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Isadora had her own frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Feed me! Feed me too! No one ever fed me! I'm a feeding virgin unlike my senior sister whose feed count is in millions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian gasped and Sarah covered her face. Hazel, as reliable as always, covered Primula's ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether she meant it or not, Aurora's choice of words were…offensive, to put it mildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aurora!\" Isadora grabbed the young woman's cheeks and looked down at her with a large smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh? Eeeh?\" Miss Calamity didn't understand why Isadora was pissed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't really mean anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But looking at the vein popped up on Isadora's forehead, Miss Calamity had a thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I screwed up!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kyaaa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving up everything else, Miss Calamity ran for her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, you little virgin bi…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Primula's ears were once again covered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, the unintentional words of Miss Calamity caused Princess Isadora to use profane words for the first time in her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian shook his head and gestured to Sarah and Primula. They looked at each other in confusion but stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of his wrist, Primula was seated on the dining table in front while Sarah was seated in his lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, open your mouth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aaa~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aaa~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking their favorite dishes, Varian fed them with a lot of care. The two didn't clash and obediently had their food. For some reason, it tasted much better than when they ate by themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Varian, I got you the pieeee~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hazel, who was watching Varian feeding the two with a happy face, swallowed her saliva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Oh no!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proving her worries wrong, Sia didn't compete with the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh you're feeding them? Then I'll feed you!\" Sia sat on his other lap and began to feed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some time, Sarah decided she too wanted to feed him. So, she let Sia take her place and took hers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, Primula felt that she shouldn't lose out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother! Me! Me! Me too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Isadora returned with a battered Aurora, they witnessed the harmonious scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, look who's here.\" Sarah smirked as she licked the cream at the corner of her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isadora stepped forward and Sarah got off Varian's lap, preparing for a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't really mean anything though…\" Miss Calamity followed behind with her head lowered, appearing extremely pitiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Husband,\" Instead of fighting as Sarah anticipated, Isadora clevered slid into Varian's lap and hooked her arms around his neck. \"Are you really tired of me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was soul stirring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never.\" Varian said with certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then,\" Isadora looked into his eyes and pointed to her lips. \"Will you feed me too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, she gave Sia a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nodding with an understanding expression, Sia vanished. Unexpectedly, Enigma also followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Eh? Wait! Where am I going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of Isadora's wrist, Primula flew away from the dining table and landed near Aurora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's your chance to make up.\" She said in an authoritative tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, but I still don't know what did I say wrong?\" Muttering so, Miss Calamity took away Primula, promising to entertain her with a lot of games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! Is that a show of authority?\" Sarah crossed her arms and snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, just privacy.\" Isadora had a big smile on her face and glanced at the maids. As if they understood, the two vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you…\" When Varian asked her with a confused expression, the princess bit his finger covered in bits of the special pie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Licking the pie with her tongue in clumsy movements, she said. \"I want another pie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian threw her on the dining table and and the sound of fabrics torn rang in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a tired Aurora returned with an energetic Primula, it was evening already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Why did the table break? And the trees? No, an entire forest! Why are they all broken!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That mountain too! Did brother fight them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Calamity narrowed her eyes and observed the surroundings. To be sure, this scale of destruction didn't seem like a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's perhaps…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Are they playing blindfold chase?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Varian and family gathered together for dinner, Sarah and Isadora sat on either sides of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike earlier when they were clashing, the two women seemed a lot more calm and harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the dinner ended with Varian feeding everyone, Primula was sent to sleep under the care of Helena and Hazel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian gathered with his wives and Miss Calamity beside a quiet lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's been almost 60 days since you arrived. But only three days passed outside.\" Sarah narrowed her eyes. \"And even though we sealed your powers for a while, you were practicing the slivers with even more passion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been found, Varian raised his hands with a helpless smile. They could seal his divine paths, not his slivers. So, he trained in them, trying to gain proficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Told you so.\" Isadora shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much improvement did you see?\" Sarah asked with a serious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First of all, so you knew all along that I'm training with my slivers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We really wanted to give you some time off. With the timeflow difference, a 3 day gap won't be disastrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isadora did expect you'd train the slivers whenever you had the chance. Still, you got time to sort your mind and calm your emotions. So, it's time well spent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that you're fine and Aurora revealed about the situation, we wanted to discuss your battle with Immortal.\" Sarah admitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Wow.\" Varian was genuinely surprised. Isadora showed a 'V' \"There are two strategies we prepared. One, we'll hide however longer it takes for you to reach the strength of alliance heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe a thousand years or maybe a hundred. Honestly, all my estimtes on you have been wrong. So, I don't even try anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But how is that even possible? Isn't Hortus' stealth already falling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…If there is enough sacrifice, we can keep it hidden for more than a couple dozen years.\" Sarah explained in a neutral tone. \"This is really a special world. In my thousand years here, I only managed to glimpse a little into its potential. Thankfully, I found this provision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's eyes widened. \"Sacrifice the... people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1471,"2026-06-06T07:58:57.757Z",1,"novelbin.me","ae8ff8fe912688eb370db73a0cd40cd781d72a6dc65304bbc7636f6a0a0b884b","divine-path-system-chapter-1598","divine-path-system-chapter-1596",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
