Chapter 201 Loved by nature
Anthony observed the woman in front of him closely, marveling at her beauty. He knew she was the daughter of Seraphine Bennedetto, a being of sacred rank and considered the most beautiful woman in the entire empire. It wasn't surprising that her two daughters inherited their mother's qualities.
Furthermore, considering that Seraphine was a sacred rank healer, her daughters were blessed by the blood of elves, and nature loved them both.
There were rumors that on the day they were born, all the animals of the forest, whether predators or prey, gathered around their house. It was said that Seraphine let them all in, and each one of them visited her daughters in the crib. It was even told that a five-meter lion took her in its mouth as if she were its own cub and carried her on its back.
The birds sang, and the other animals roared in a chorus of celebration. Although all this sounded like a legend, in the case of Seraphine's daughters, it could very well be true; it was perfectly known that on the day of her younger daughter Angela's birth, the same thing happened, and even my father was present.
"I'm back," announced Arabella with a sweet smile, approaching Alexandra and kissing her on the cheek. "Elder sister Alexandra," exclaimed Charlotte excitedly, running to her and embracing her. Alexandra welcomed her with love, gently stroking her head before turning her golden gaze towards Anthony.
"It's a pleasure to have the opportunity to meet you, Alexandra Benedetto," said Anthony, bowing slightly as a sign of respect. His gesture reflected his acknowledgment of her as a distinct figure from the others, devoid of hostile intentions towards him.
"The pleasure is mine, Anthony Von Valeriano, son of the great Duke Noah," responded Alexandra with a warm smile, before rising to her feet and performing the same greeting gesture as Anthony.
Arabella, on the other hand, simply clicked her tongue in annoyance at the interaction.
"I don't know how being in love feels; I still don't fully understand it," Charlotte had said. "But what I do know is that when I'm near Anthony, my heart fills with joy and races. It's a beautiful feeling, the most beautiful one I've had in my 17 years of life," she had confessed sincerely.
Arabella noticed the sincerity in her sister's words, and a small smile formed on her lips. She could perceive the happiness and excitement that emanated from Charlotte when she was with Anthony.
Arabella sighed as she immersed herself in her memories of the conversation with her sister. "She's very beautiful, and she's also very tall. She has black hair and red eyes like him," she recalled Charlotte's words. "She's his first wife, but Anthony doesn't like to put numbers. According to him, we are both his number one," she added with a mix of nostalgia and acceptance.
"Doesn't it bother you?" Arabella asked directly, her serious tone making it clear she wanted an honest answer. Charlotte pondered for a few seconds before responding honestly, "It doesn't bother you being around Alexandra, does it?"

Arabella shook her head. "She's like a sister to me," she explained. Charlotte smiled at her older sister's understanding and then added with a smile, "So, Lysandra will also be like a sister to me."
Arabella, having returned from her thoughts, stood up and looked at Anthony seriously. Anthony, for his part, also rose, noting her change in attitude. Arabella took a deep breath before warning firmly, "If you dare to hurt my sister, you'll have to deal with me."
Anthony observed her for a moment, recognizing the seriousness in her words. However, he responded calmly and confidently, "Don't worry about that. I'll do everything I can to make her very happy," he said as he embraced Charlotte, who nestled against his chest with flushed cheeks.
