Chapter 17 Part 3: Choices of the Heart
Finally she flung herself into his embrace.
And then under the envious, jealous, and resentful gazes of bystanders
Anna rose on her toes
And pressed her soft red lips to Lu Fei's.
Like a pair of lovers in the heat of love
Anna and Lu Fei kissed passionately in the street.
"Why'd we stop… Lu ah!"
Anya flung open the curtain and yelped.
"A‑Anna! Why are you here and you and him… ah shameless!"
Fuming, Anya stomped back inside the carriage.
Sena started to step out to watch, but Anya grabbed her hand.
"Don't go unless you want to get jealous."
Sena shivered her lips pursed.
But in the next second she stood.
"I'm not scared! If he dares not want me later, I'll geld him!"
With that, she left the carriage.
"Hmph~"
Glancing at the two locked in an embrace, Sena gave a jealous huff.
"Huh this child…"
Anna also noticed the petite Sena.
Lu Fei looked embarrassed but he still had to introduce her.
"Sister Anna this… this is my woman… her name is Sena."
He lowered his head waiting to be scolded.
Instead, Anna's eyes lit up she scooped Sena into her arms and rubbed her cheek against the girl's face!
"What a cute child!"
"Hehe Xiao Fei, nice taste! I've wanted to find a few cute ones for you but it took ages and I found none. Didn't expect you to beat me to it!"
Sena pushed against her. "What are you doing? I'm not a child I… I'm his…"
"I know Xiao Fei's woman so you're my little sister. Sena, right? You're so cute come let big sis touch those cheeks."
Anna looked at her tenderly.
Sena flushed bright red.
At last, she lowered her head shyly and called, "Sister."
"Ah now that's better!"
Anna happily took Sena's hand.
Sena, however, felt rotten inside.
She'd been overshadowed the moment they met.
This woman before her not only stunningly beautiful and explosively curvy but also gentle and generous.
Emmm.
Then she looked down at herself
Petite body, fiery temper.
Boo‑hoo…
Maybe she really was born to be the "little one."
"All right, Sister Anna hop in first. I'll pull the carriage to a proper spot then we can catch up."
"Okay."
Anna smiled sweetly and gave him a limpid look. "By the way a certain girl misses you very much."
Then a bright glow flared on the back of her hand.
A wisp of white smoke flashed and Lu Fei felt weight in his arms soft and warm.
"Brother Lu Fei I missed you so much… sniff this mana… I haven't tasted it in so long!"
A warm pressure on his lips
And Lu Fei felt a pendant on his neck he hurried to support her waist.
Seeing the silver‑haired girl, warmth filled Lu Fei's heart.
After "recharging" was done, Lu Fei ruffled her hair. He took the driver's seat and let her sit on his lap.
"Long time no see, Esther. I'm really sorry at the end, I dragged you down dying together like that."
"It's fine your mana protected me. At the last second before the explosion, I slipped away and then a silver‑haired big sister like me delivered me to Sister Anna."
"Silver hair? Oh you mean the world‑consciousness."
Lu Fei understood at once.
Esther wriggled in his lap in a spoiled way her head rubbing against his chest.
It made Lu Fei blush.
Though she was a holy sword, in human form she was no different from a girl.
And super cute.
"Master brother this time I won't be separated from you again and of course Sister Anna too!"
"We're one family this time we'll stay together!"
"Okay, okay deal."
Lu Fei stroked her silky hair his heart warm.
The carriage's interior wasn't calm either.
Anya stared daggers at Anna.
Anna wore a playful smile.
"What's this, Sister Anya came out to be an adventurer too? Don't tell me my Xiao Fei kidnapped you here."
"Hmph if you can come be an adventurer, why can't I?"
Anya sniffed and rolled her eyes at Anna then, batting her lashes, she said, "What if I told you… he did kidnap me? And, also he's my man now he acknowledges me as his sister."
There was pride in Anya's eyes but her clenched fists showed her nerves.
She had always been overshadowed by Anna where she felt proudest.
So she'd disliked Anna and targeted her as a child.
But another part of her had yearned to be like Anna dazzling and magnetic.
Whether she could win Prince Angus's favor became her metric of success.
But now
She realized she'd worked for nothing.
The metric she chose Prince Angus was someone Anna never even cared about.
Instead, Anna had set her eyes on a more exceptional man and become his wife.
In the face of Anya's words, Anna smiled sweetly.
"How wonderful then please keep being my elder sister. But the main wife is still me that's non‑negotiable!"
"Huh?"
Anya was stunned.
"You… aren't angry?"
"He cheated on you!"
"Not only did he take that little wife Sena he even defiled your own elder sister!"
"I think it's you 'defiling' him. You're still pure, okay."
"That's not the point!" Anya blushed crimson.
"The point is you don't care? You're so generous do you even love him?"
To this, Anna smiled softly her eyes deep with feeling.
"Of course I do. My feelings for him are the same as his for me."
"In our last lives, we gave our lives for each other so we earned this beautiful reunion."
"Of course I, Anna, love him."
"Precisely because I love him I won't be jealous. Sister Anya we promised to be together always to live and die together. If you'll get jealous over this, it's better to withdraw early so you don't hurt yourself later."
Anya was speechless.
"…"
After a long silence, she sighed deeply.
"Anna I really don't understand you."
"You've always been like this since we were little."
"You could easily get everything I wanted."
"Father and Mother praised you were proud of you and even His Highness Prince Angus favored you."
Seeing Anya's dejection, Anna felt it was time to show the magnanimity of a main wife.
She stepped forward and hugged Anya tight.
Anya froze her cheeks reddened at once.
"Anna what are you doing?"
"Giving you a hug of love."
"Ptooey what 'hug of love'?"
"A hug of love, of course. Sister Anya, I envy you too, you know how naturally you fit into the noble ladies' social circle and thrived amid that petty intrigue."
"I just can't. So I stayed home every day and grew vegetables. Father and Mother 'praised' me? Not really they valued me only as the prince's fiancée. But that wasn't what I wanted."
"So there's no need to envy me. The noble‑lady identity is too heavy for me. Having to prattle on endlessly with noble ladies what a pain."
"Mind your manners wherever you go being born into such a family was torture."
"And to shoulder 'responsibility' for the family's power to marry someone I don't love what about that is enviable?"
Anya's face stiffened.
"In Lu Fei's words you're humble‑bragging, aren't you? Flaunting it ugh, you rotten little sister!"
"But fine. At this point I don't want to fuss over that small circle anymore. It's too boring too childish. Thinking of it now makes me laugh."
"Anna let's make peace. I won't target you anymore."
"But in return you have to let me stay in this adventuring party!"
"Pfft of course!"
"But with both Grangers sisters running off to be adventurers won't Father and Mother be worried sick?"
"Uh quite possibly."
Anya looked awkward.
"Why don't we send a letter back from time to time so they don't worry?"
"Great idea!"
Anna immediately agreed.
Then she leaned to Anya's ear and whispered: "Sister are you sure you want to stay? Let me tell you Xiao Fei is very… restless at night."
"He might snatch you into his arms at any moment."
Anya flushed to her ears.
"I'm not afraid… let him try!"
Anna only smiled.
Xiao Fei's charm really was powerful.
Poor Angus he'd liked Sister Anya before. Now even that was gone.
Still Anna's instincts told her that, perhaps, Anya's heart still leaned toward Angus.
