As my lips touched Aisha's neck, I felt a sudden jolt of warmth envelop my body. The taste of her blood was unique, unlike anything I had ever experienced. It was rich, warm, and gave an electrifying taste. I sucked gently, my eyes widening in contentment as I savored the taste.

It seems unfortunate for Eleanor, but I found myself liking the taste immensely. My grimace on Aisha tightened slightly as I drank deeper, a low groan escaping my throat.

......

.....

Eleanor watched the scene unfold with a mix of shock and jealousy as she had not expected such an outcome.

'I was sure he would dislike the taste of her holy blood; it shouldn't be possible for him to like it unless' Then she remembered her talk with Iris in the morning.

'But there's no Way....' she bit her lips and tried to deny it, but the look of her Husband finding pleasure in Aisha's blood was too much to ignore.

"Ahem!" Eleanor cleared her throat loudly as if trying to break a spell. "That's enough," she uttered sharply. "Valerian, step away from her!" Her tone was angry and with a hint of betrayal as she looked at the two.

...

...

I reluctantly pulled back from Aisha, my lips still stained from her blood, which I soon licked clean.

Aisha unconsciously gulped at the scene of me licking her blood as her heartbeat increased 'That looked....arousing' she thought to herself in disbelief.

"You...you found it bad, right?" Eleanor's voice trembled slightly as she asked the question, her eyes searching mine for any sign of disgust or revulsion. "The taste was horrible, right?" she hoped desperately.

Even though she knew deep down.

She had seen the look of pleasure on my face and heard my groan of satisfaction.

I sighed inwardly, 'I hope she doesn't break down again,' I thought, and prepared to answer truthfully. With a moment of hesitation, my gaze flickered between Eleanor and Aisha. I could see the hope and desperation in Eleanor's eyes.

/I wonder why she looks so concerned, even though it would just ultimately make no difference/

'You shut up, besides it's your script,' I complained inwardly and breathed out a sigh again.

I slowly shook my head, "No," I mumbled with a look of helplessness as Eleanor's face crumbled. "It wasn't bad at all." Then I paused and gulped, remembering the taste. "In fact, it was really good".

Eleanor's heart shattered at the words. She felt an immense amount of jealousy and anger wash over her, but she pushed it down, trying to maintain a bit of composure.

"I see," she muttered coldly, turning her face away from me. "Well then," she continued with a broken voice, "I suppose that settles it. Aisha has passed the test."

She glanced back at Aisha, her eyes flashing with a mix of resentment and grudging defeat."Congratulations," she said through gritted teeth."You're now officially accepted as a part of the family."

Aisha smiled at Eleanor's words, but a curious look appeared as she smirked wider. "Hmm," she mumbled softly, "Just two tests, huh? Why don't you make me take more?" She paused her gaze, sweeping over the group before settling back on Eleanor. "I will pass every single one of them," she declared confidently.

Eleanor's eyes narrowed at Aisha's bold statement. She could feel her jealousy and resentment boiling to the surface, barely holding up, but she knew she had to maintain control.

"Is that so?" she expressed coldly. "We'll see about that then."

She turned towards me, Iris, and Alicia, her expression thoughtful. "What do you think?" she asked us ."Should we give our new family member more...tests?"

I hesitated, looking between Eleanor and Aisha. "I think it's enough," I said cautiously, as it was already enough.

'Any more and I think it might get Ugly,' I thought nervously.

But to my disappointment, both Iris and Eleanor shook their heads in unison as they agreed with Eleanor.

"Then it's decided...This will be the last and the final deciding Test," Eleanor declared, her voice firm. "And also the hardest," she added and turned back to Aisha, a wicked gleam in her eyes.

"Are you ready for it?" she asked sweetly and added, "Dear Saintess~...Or have you had enough trials for today?".

Aisha's confidant smirk never faltered as she stated, "Bring it on." She calmly uttered, "I'm ready for anything".

At the agreement, Eleanor's lips curled into a cruel smile as she explained the test. "So," she began, slowly relishing in the feeling of triumph already, as she muttered, "The final test is a battle. Aisha will face us three...without her spear, obviously."

My eyes widened at the words spoken by her, "Battle? Are you serious?" I paused and added, "Is it really necessary?"

But Eleanor nodded at my Question. "Yes, it is, and we need our revenge match for the beating we got last time," and added with a smirk towards Aisha, "Obviously, we'll also not use anything lethal for her safety~" she made a mocking face as she finished he words. "Oh, I'm sure," she said coldly."We need to know that she can protect herself and our family without relying on divine intervention."

Iris and Alicia nodded in agreement, their expression stern as they remembered what happened last time.

Aisha, however, was unfazed as she merely scoffed, "Very well," she said calmly, "I accept your challenge. But let me make one thing clear," she said solemnly, "I won't hold back".

Eleanor sneered at Aisha's confidant attitude, "heh!" and moved closer to stand in front of her in a domineering posture. "We will see how you'll fare without your holy spear, you love to swing so much."

Aisha crossed her arms over her chest and said in dissatisfaction "Just because I rely on divine power doesn't mean I am helpless without it" she shook her her head and added "I've trained in comabt since I was a child" she continued her voice barely above a whisper. "i kn ow how to fightr. and I know to win".

Eleanor's smirk faltered slightly at Aisha's words, but she quickly regained her composure."We'll see about that," she said coldly.

........

....

The group moved to the expansive training grounds behind the mansion.

The area was surrounded by high walls and dotted with various obstacles and targets. Eleanor, Iris, and Alicia took up positions in a triangle formation, their eyes locked on Aisha.

Silence crept on the training ground as they stared at each other.

I watched nervously from the sidelines, my brow furrowed with concern.

'I hope it doesn't turn around like before,' I thought, even though Aisha wasn't using her sacred spear, there was still the worry from the past events." Be careful," I said under my breath, hoping for the best.

Eleanor raised her hand, signaling for silence. "Remember," she said coldly.

"No use of divine powers. Just skill and strength."

Aisha nodded solemnly, taking a deep breath as she centered herself.

She closed her eyes for a moment and then snapped them open, focusing on her opponents with laser-like intensity.

"Begin," Eleanor declared, and the battle commenced.

Eleanor charged forward, the wooden sword in her hand swinging in a powerful arc towards Aisha's head.

At the same time, Iris lunged from the side, her fist aimed at Aisha's ribs.

Alicia remained back, her hands glowing with mana, ready to bolster her companions' attacks.

Aisha reacted instantly, her body moving with lightning-fast reflexes.

She ducked beneath Eleanor's swing, feeling the wind of its passage ruffle her hair.

Simultaneously, she pivoted on her heel, narrowly avoiding Iris's punch.

The saintess countered with a swift kick to Iris's stomach, sending the werewolf sprawling away.

Eleanor snarled, charging again. This time, Aisha met her head-on, gripping Eleanor's sword arm and twisting sharply.

The two women grappled fiercely, their movements a blur of strength and skill. Alicia's magic washed over them both, enhancing their physical abilities.

Eleanor grunted with effort as Aisha twisted her arm, the wooden sword clattering to the ground."Impressive," she gasped out."But you're still outnumbered."

Aisha's reply was equally breathless, her eyes flashing with determination."Numbers mean nothing when skill and power prevail," she countered.

Iris recovered quickly, charging back into the fray with a fierce cry. "Haaa! Take this." She clashed against Aisha's defenses, their fists and feet flying in a whirlwind of blows.

Alicia's magic pulsed stronger, weaving around them like an invisible current, as she was supported by continuous attack from ice and fire from the sides.

The battle raged on, each woman pushing her limits and beyond. Sweat mingled with blood as they traded strikes and counters. The air crackled with tension and exertion.

I watched the intense battle unfold, my heart pounding in my chest.

'I wonder if it's alright,' I thought in worry. Then, suddenly, Claire appeared at my side with a tray laden with a first aid kit and refreshments.

"Thought we might need these," she said casually, setting the tray down on a nearby bench.

"Looks like quite the spectacle they're putting on."Valerian stared at her incredulously. "You're treating this as entertainment?" he asked, gesturing to the fierce duel taking place.

Claire shrugged nonchalantly."Oh, it's just another day in this household," she replied, popping a grape into her mouth.

"Besides," she added with a smirk."It's not every day you get to see a saintess take on the three princesses of the supernatural world. I'm curious to see how it ends."
