Aria started to tell Aster her story, she was born with a special constitution which made her more talented than her peers, after all at the age of 15 she was already at the star constetion realm, that also was the cause of her unique color hair because the people of the Ghale family tend to have green hair.


    Originally having a special constitution wouldn''t be something negative, the problem was that the one she had was a triple yin physique that could enhance the inborn talent of the man who took her primordial yin, her father tried to prevent other people from finding out but somehow it reached the ears of the big families.


    On top of that when she grew up her beauty became known on whole azure sky, so of course many people from big families and different forces tried to arrange a marriage contract with the Ghale family after all what man wouldn''t want a wife that was beautiful, talented and that would also help them to be stronger.


    Since her family was under the protection of the Wolstein''s the other forces didn''t act too harshly but they still used their influence to pressure her father in other words the patriarch, some of the elders of her family were bribed to try and convince the patriarch to arrange a marriage as soon as possible.


    Her father wanted to help her but there was not much he could do, he could only get her some time, when she turned 18, she would have to choose someone to marry or the family would choose for her, the only opportunity she had to change her destiny was to improve her cultivation to the point where the other families could not threat her father.


    But after all these years she has only reached the low stage of the ster constetion realm and her time was running out, with each break through advancing was bing more and more difficult specially since she didn''t receive any resources from her family, and not only that she even had to hide her cultivation which already surpassed her father''s one and her true appearance so people that she didn''t trust would not know where she stays.


    She used her savings to build an inn and started managing it in order to get an ie and buy resources for herself.


    Listening to her story Aster was surprised, she has gone through too much in such a little amount of time, then he felt angry, her family didn''t want to help her just so they could get some benefits for marrying her off to some bigger family.


    Aster nced at Alice and she reluctantly let go of his arm, he then turned his body towards Aria and hugged her tight, Aria fell on his embrace and she felt warm when she heard him saying.


    "You will never be alone again".


    Feeling Aria trembling a bit on his arms he continuedforting her.


    "Don''t worry about those things anymore just leave it to me, in three years I assure you that they will not dare to try and force you to do anything okay?".


    Aster already had a n, right now if he were to use all his power, he should be able to kill a star formation cultivator so he will focus on reaching the star formation realm in three years and then he will be able to kill a ster axys cultivator…. like Isaac, of course he could have asked Lilia and then no one would be able to cause her any problems but he didn''t want to depend on his mother for everything specially if he wanted her to see him as a man.


    How can I deserve a woman if I can''t protect her? that was one of his principles.


    Aria hesitated but she mustered her courage, looked at him directly and asked.


    "You promise? will you not abandon me nor throw me away when things get dangerous?".


    Aster smiled and gently carresed her hair before answering.


    "You can forget about escaping from me, since fate has put me in your way, i won''t let you leave my side no matter what".


    Aria decided to believe on him, for the first time in her life she was not alone against the world, this time there was someone that was willing to stand in front of her, someone that will protect her from any harm.


    Now that she regained herposure she noticed how he was holding her in his arms.


    "Big words for someone who is taking too many liberties with me, but okay I will believe in you… you better never forget what you said today ?".


    Alice felt jealous so she gave her brother a look like that of an abandoned puppy while pulling his sleeve to get his attention.


    Aster turned his face to see his sister before settling back with an arm around each of them, then he whispered on Alice''s ear.


    "Of course, I will also keep my dear sister by my side forever", he then kissed her cheek quickly because he heard soundsing from the door of the room.


    The old woman opened the door and started amodating different dishes on the table, she wanted to talk about something with Aster but she felt that the atmosphere in the room was somewhat intimate so she decided to do it on another asion.


    "Please enjoy your food", she said before leaving.


    Aria felt a tranquility she has never experienced before, even the food looked specially appetizing so she started eating without saying anything, Alice and Aster followed her after a moment, the food was actually quite good and not only that but it actually improved their cultivation a bit.


    One they finished Aster was happy he gave the restaurant a second chance since he enjoyed the food a lot, Alice called the waiter and ordered some takeaway.


    Aster saw her ans heughed a bit before saying.


    "Seems like I will have to invite my sister to eat here every day huh?".


    Alice blushed but she answered.


    "Humph of course since you are my brother you should treat me well and buy me delicious food every time I want to".


    Aster knew that if they were alone, she would have said "lover" instead of "brother" but he still got the message.


    Aria heard that Aster wanted to eat here every day and she decided to warn him.


    "I don''t want to break your bubble but eating here it''s quite expensive, just what we ate today will cost around 800 gold coins".


    Alice turned to see Aster and asked.


    "Is that a lot brother?".


    Alice was confused, aren''t you the older one she thought.


    "Nothing to worry about I will buy you everything you want, the same for you Aria since now there is no need to hide anything between us this way you can spend more time with me".


    Aria didn''t know what to say, even though she could sometimes afford to eat here doing it every day would be too much, but on the other hand she enjoyed this day a lot so she wanted to repeat it as much as she could.


    Aster saw her hesitating and he knew what she was thinking so he gave her ast push.


    "There is no need to consider things like money between you and me okay?".


    He didn''t have to worry about money and besides they will not be on this for too long so he wanted her to enjoy all the time they spent together here as he was sure she woulde with him once they leave.


    Aria was in a predicament, being aware of the fact that Aster was courting her, epting things from him was the same as epting his advances, still she couldn''t find a reason to reject him so she finally gave up and answered.


    "Fine I will ept this gift from you ?".
