Reborn as a Transcendent

Chapter 504: Brother, I Object To This Marriage!

⇐ ⇒

The moment Fiat knelt down, the system issued a series of notifications, signaling a dramatic increase in his favorability towards Yaeger. “Ding! Fiat's Favorability towards you has increased by 10,000 points. He is now indifferent to you.” The announcements continued, indicating further increases in favorability, moving through various stages until he regarded her as a trusted person. Yaeger was initially surprised by the sudden surge in Fiat's favorability but soon realized it made sense, considering her life-saving intervention for Aurora.

Fiat, overwhelmed with emotion, cried out joyfully, "Sob… It's great, Aurora, it's so great!" Tears streamed down his face as he knelt on the ground. Aurora, still in shock, was taken aback by her brother's reaction. Seeing him crying like a child, she was momentarily dazed and utterly confused. ‘What… is going on?' she wondered, trying to make sense of the situation. Her confusion only grew as she contemplated the recent events. ‘Wasn't I just molested by [Princess]?' she thought, puzzled by her brother's celebratory demeanor. ‘Is he insane?'

Her thoughts were interrupted as she suddenly noticed her fair-skinned arm. Her pupils shrank, and her expression shifted from confusion to surprise. ‘This… Is this my hand?' she questioned herself. With a sense of disbelief, she lifted her hand effortlessly, still struggling to comprehend the changes she was experiencing.

"A lie… This must be a lie…" Aurora murmured, struggling to accept the reality of what she was seeing and feeling. "My hands, my face…" She touched her face with her hands, finding it soft and smooth, reminiscent of a freshly peeled boiled egg.

Yaeger, understanding her disbelief, handed her a round mirror. "See if you're prettier than before." As Aurora gazed into the mirror, she saw her nearly flawless face, first in daze and then in utter amazement.

A wave of blissfulness washed over her, an indescribable sense of happiness filling her heart. Yet, simultaneously, she was engulfed in fear and deep panic. "Is this… A dream… If so, please don't ever let me wake up…" she whispered, still unable to believe the incredible transformation.

Suddenly, Aurora felt a sharp headache, causing her to let out a cute scream. Yaeger calmly retracted her hand and asked, "Do you think it's still a dream?"

"Sob… It hurts," Aurora replied, her eyes filling with tears. "You hurt me." At her words, Fiat looked up, his face showing shock and tears. He remained silent, though, waiting to see how the situation would unfold.

"Don't use such misleading words," Yaeger responded with a hint of exasperation. Realizing the implication of her words, Aurora's face turned a deep shade of red, embarrassed by her unintentional suggestion. Despite her extensive theoretical knowledge on certain topics from her discussions at the Imperial Magic College, she lacked practical experience.

Gradually calming down, Aurora felt a surge of strength and vitality within her. She had the urge to leap out of bed and dance to expend her boundless energy. "How do you feel?" Yaeger asked softly, adhering to the standard practice of a doctor. "Awesome!" Aurora responded, her face slightly flushed and heart brimming with gratitude.

Aurora wanted to express her immense gratitude to Yaeger, but the words seemed stuck in her throat, unable to be spoken aloud. At that moment, a cracking noise echoed in the room. They turned to see Fiat, who had knelt down and slammed his head against the tile, cracking it. "Princess, from now on, I will serve you!" he declared excitedly, practically worshiping Yaeger as if she were an angel sent by God, ready to lay down his life for her.

His devotion and willingness to serve brought him joy and excitement. However, Yaeger's response was a firm "No," dousing his enthusiasm like a cold bucket of water. Her reasoning was straightforward: Fiat was too weak and also a man, offering no value in her eyes. Aurora, on the other hand, was a different case. Yaeger looked at her with a gentle smile, while Aurora was stunned by the refusal. In her eyes, her brother was an excellent person, willing to die for Yaeger, yet she had refused his offer. To Aurora, this was utterly unbelievable.

Unbeknownst to Aurora, her brother, whom she deemed excellent, had recently been beaten up by [Princess]. As Aurora felt displeased by Yaeger's response, Yaeger suddenly extended her hand and, in a domineering manner, lifted Aurora's chin. "The person I need is you." These words resonated powerfully in Aurora's mind, causing a metaphorical explosion of emotions. Fiat's mind was similarly impacted. Aurora's face flushed a deep red, while Fiat felt as if he'd been metaphorically cooked alive.

At that moment, the system made another announcement:

Ding! Aurora's Favorability towards you increased by 10,000 points, she is now indifferent to you.

Ding! Aurora's Favorability towards you increased by 10,000 points, she is now a stranger to you.

Ding! Aurora's Favorability towards you increased by 10,000 points, she is now friendly to you.

Ding! …

Eventually, the notifications indicated that Aurora and Yaeger had become close friends. Yaeger was slightly taken aback by this rapid increase in favorability, which was even higher than Kastina's.

Despite feeling very embarrassed, Aurora maintained eye contact with Yaeger. Her gaze, initially shifting, settled into a look of affection. Then, she spoke, "I… I do!" Yaeger blinked in confusion at this response. ‘You do what? If you agree, just say yes. If you say "I do", I might misunderstand!'

Meanwhile, Fiat was utterly stunned, feeling like a crystal lamp lit in the daytime—both meaningless and annoying. His excitement about his sister being cured was now tinged with bittersweet feelings. It was as if the sister he had raised was being snatched away by someone else. In his mind, he wanted to scream, "I oppose this marriage!" But he knew he couldn't challenge [Princess], not only because he was weaker but also because he owed her a massive favor.

On the bed, Aurora gently grabbed Yaeger's hand, saying shyly and excitedly, "From… From now on, I will be yours. Please take care of me!" Yaeger's mind was filled with confusion at this declaration. ‘What's going on here?' she thought.

Fiat felt a surge of sorrow, almost to the point of metaphorical blood vomiting. He realized that regardless of what happened, his sister was destined to leave him, a realization that filled his heart with sadness.
