"Tia has been like this for a few hours already, never fully waking up. She occasionally makes noises as though she is terrified of something in her dreams, and even if we hold her hand and tell her to do her best, she doesn't respond subconsciously, much less answer us."
Ellia's voice was down. She truly couldn't see this cute, adorable, and soft-spoken diviner whom they all considered their little sister to be suffering in this manner.
Tia had divined so much for them in the past few months, letting them know which missions would allow them to get lucked out and obtain expensive treasures or allow them to encounter special things that would net them more wealth. Such divinations would cost a fortune, but she told them for free every time and simply yet humbly told them it was practice, and it was only making her stronger, leaving them heartened every time.
Even Tina and Dalila were the same, never having taken an immortal crystal for their work. To such precious sisters, she never wanted them to suffer, wanting to protect their smiles at all times, but she couldn't believe she failed to protect them while she was directly watching over them, slightly blaming herself even though she understood that it had probably gotten way out of hand.
Davis also cast a scrutinizing gaze at Tia for a while, making sure that he didn't find any external anomalies with his own karmic gaze. After all, Fallen Heaven was still hiding from him, appearing to be unwilling to talk with him.
Not able to find anything with his current power, he turned to look at Ellia.
"Did you enter her soul sea?"
"We don't dare." Ellia shook her head, "After all, she could be pos-"
Her words suddenly stopped as her eyes slowly widened.
Davis also blinked at Ellia before he turned his head towards the bed, looking at Tia, having sat up like a straight log with her eyes wide. She was looking- no staring at him with an intense gaze.
The room suddenly turned silent.
Everyone's muscles tensed, their energy circulating in their body as they gathered at the tip of their fingers while Davis raised his hand, indicating for them to stop.
No matter if Tia was possessed or not, he had the confidence that he wouldn't be injured.
Tia's lips tried to move, but no sound came out, her eyes rippling with numerous emotions before she suddenly made a move, causing Ellia and Myria's gaze to flicker. They saw her pounce on Davis, her hands reaching out, but with Davis indicating to them not to make a move, they suppressed their impulse to act in self-defense.
142.93.60.102
Davis slightly shook as Tia fell into his embrace and wrapped her arms around him, hiding her face over his chest as he began to tremble.
"Davis…" Myria urged, barely stopping herself from attacking.
He also stood there stunned, not knowing what to do as he didn't even know if this was an attack or if Tia wanted to hug him. He was completely vulnerable to any attacks as he was locked in a state of physical touch. However, he couldn't bring himself to separate Tia from him as he could sense her emotions.
It was chaotic but full of sorrow.
"You're alive…"
Tia shuddered as she finally voiced out, making Davis blink.
"How can that be? We were on different planes…" Davis made a confused expression, "But if that was the case, then-"
Suddenly, his transmission stopped as he saw Tia's eyes open.
Her eyes gradually opened in a flutter before she inclined her head and looked at Davis's face. Her lips parted, her eyes narrowing as she seemed to be thinking something.
"Big brother…"
The eyes of the others lit up as they heard the clarity in Tia's voice.
Tia was conscious right now, so there was a chance she would be able to talk clearly.
They saw her closely look at Davis, a myriad of emotions flashing past her clear purple eyes. Her hands that were already wrapped around his body moved back as she appeared to take them back but then suddenly went forward, holding his cheek on the other side of his face as she moved closer.
"…?"
Davis doubted her intentions when she suddenly closed in and kissed his cheek, and she didn't stop there, placing numerous kisses.
"Wha- Tia? What are you…?"
Davis tried to dodge, but she firmly held his cheek and neck, continuing to kiss his cheeks, even leaning towards his lips, but was dodged each time by him, her kisses falling on his cheeks again.
"…"
Ellia and Myria's lips parted.
The latter went forward, capturing Tia's head as Myria stopped her.
"What kind of sensual possession is this?"
She asked with a cold voice, causing Tia to finally get a hold of herself. She blinked in confusion before her cheeks blushed and ears turned crimson, realizing what she had done for the first time, quickly jumping on the bed as she turned around and kowtowed towards Davis.
"Ah~ Forgive me… I didn't mean to do that!"
'Liar…'
Both Ellia and Myria thought at the same time while Davis rubbed his cheek, wondering what was up with Tia as she was never this bold. Of course, he knew she liked him, but they were nephew and aunt, a line he didn't wish to cross, but it had gone slightly out of bounds just now.
Nonetheless, he was too worried about her well-being to be even bothered about this matter.
He took a breath, looking at Tia with a sincere gaze.
"Tia, I know you're suffering from something right now, but forgive me, as I'm going to need your help in knowing what happened to you and Clara. I need you to stay strong and answer my questions."
Davis demanded in a solemn tone, causing Tia to slowly sit up straight while still kneeling. Her panicked expression left as her gaze fell elsewhere before she turned to look at them again.
"Would you believe me if I said nothing happened?"
