Chapter 70: Unforgettable Night With Rias!

Badr changed into a clean yukata and came to the courtyard feeling refreshed.

It was 9 PM, and night had fallen. Badr sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, gazing at the full moon hanging in the sky above. It was the night of the full moon, and the moonlight was quite beautiful.

Badr stretched lazily, propping his legs up on the stone bench. His posture was relaxed, exuding an air of carefree languidness. It seemed that one's state of mind could indeed influence their demeanor. After resolving Rias troubles, his stress had lessened considerably. His mood was particularly light and pleasant, so his whole being appeared more relaxed.

This rare moment of peace and tranquility...

A fragrant breeze wafted from behind as Rias emerged, having finished her bath. She wore a purple semi-transparent nightgown, light and gauzy. Her fiery red hair was still damp. She approached, blow-drying her hair.

Badr's gaze swept over Rias alluring figure a few times. Rias smiled confidently and did a little twirl.

"Do I look nice?" she asked.

"You look beautiful," Badr replied with a smile. He sat up a bit straighter and took the hair dryer from Rias. She sat down beside him.

As he dried Rias vibrant red hair, he could smell the refreshing fragrance emanating from it. The strands of hair scattered, revealing Rias snow-white back. Her pristine skin gleamed like jade in the moonlight, with a few water droplets still adorning it.

Long lanterns burned under the pavilion's lamp shades, casting a warm yellow glow that made the castle courtyard seem serene.

Devils have excellent night vision, so these lights were mainly for ambiance...

When her hair was dry and the battery conveniently ran out, Badr placed the hair dryer on the stone table.

Rias leaned closer, nestling into Badr's embrace. He naturally wrapped his arm around her waist. They reclined together on the pavilion's stone chair, perfectly positioned to view the bright moon in the sky.

"This feels so nice. I feel completely relaxed," Rias said, her voice filled with evident joy. "It's like all my burdens have been lifted," she added.

Badr smiled gently and asked, "Did your family and Riser really put that much pressure on you?"

"Yes... To be honest, right now it feels like I'm dreaming," Rias replied, resting in Badr's arms. She continued softly, "That was the Phoenix, you know. The legendary sacred beast of the human realm that governs life. Its tears can heal injuries, and those who drink its blood can achieve immortality. They are truly deathless beings."

"If you keep praising me like this, I might get conceited," Badr said with a light chuckle.

"Hehe, you absolutely deserve to be proud, really. I never imagined you could accomplish something like this. I had resigned myself to fighting Riser to the death..." Rias reclined a bit more, tilting her head to look directly at Badr's face.

Badr laughed, "You really do despise Riser, don't you? He is indeed an unpleasant person - arrogant, disrespectful to women, and a complete playboy. But when it comes to his family and kin...."

"You're defending him... Your heart is too generous. I personally can't see any redeeming qualities in that guy..." Rias replied.

"I'm just stating facts," Badr said with a smile. "Of course, I dislike him too. Just thinking about him being your nominal fiancé irritates me."

Hearing this, Rias couldn't help but laugh. "Did I hear that right? You're jealous?"

"Not at all."

"Really?"
