"Tell me the truth... The food is really bad, isn't it?" Riya's voice was quiet and sad as she asked if her cooking was really that bad.
Aditya put down his spoon and looked at her. "No, it's not terrible. Like I said before, it just needs less salt. That would make it taste better. And don't worry about the purple color," he reassured her, even though he had no clue why the food was purple. He was sure there was no poison in it; his system would have warned him if there was.
And he trusted Riya. He knew she wouldn't ever hurt him or anyone else, not even her enemies with poison.
Seeing her still looking down, Aditya gently patted her head. "If it was really bad, I wouldn't have eaten it. So you don't have to feel sad," he told her kindly. In his world, he had eaten food that tasted much worse. In his mind, what she made was okay to eat, even if it wasn't the best.
Aditya couldn't help but think about why Riya struggled with cooking, especially since her mother's cooking was the best he had ever tasted. That was saying a lot, considering he was the Emperor and had the best chef in his Empire cooking for him and his family. But even that top chef couldn't match the skill of Riya's mother.
Riya looked really down as she said, "I just can't seem to do anything right."
"No, that's not true," Aditya quickly disagreed, a bit louder than he intended, puzzled by her sudden sadness.
"I'm bad at math. Whenever I see hard numbers, my brain just stops. I'm not a good teacher either. I lose my temper too fast if someone I care about gets hurt. I'm so impatient. And I can't even cook a simple meal for you," Riya said, sounding like she was about to cry.
Her words were filled with disappointment, and Aditya could see how much these thoughts were bothering her. She felt like she wasn't good at anything, which made her feel really upset.
Aditya knelt down so he was at eye level with Riya and looked into her eyes with kindness. "You shouldn't think that you're no good at anything. Everyone has things they're not great at and things they're really good at. Nobody's perfect. There's no such thing as a perfect person. We're all made with our own mix of strengths and weaknesses."
Riya gazed back into Aditya's eyes as he spoke.
"Take me, for example. I'm not good at everything either. Cooking is one of those things I've never been good at. I've never really been interested in it or tried to learn it. What I am good at is leading the Istarin Empire. But even in that, I'm not perfect. I make mistakes too. Like earlier today, my mistake could have put all of you in danger. That's a flaw of mine."
"So, please don't say you're no good at anything. That's just not true," Aditya said as he stood up and gently touched her cheek.
"The woman I love is strong and one of the kindest people I've ever met. You're amazing in so many ways, and that's why I fell in love with you." His words were full of warmth and sincerity, hoping to lift her spirits and make her see her own worth.
"Aditya..." Riya's heart fluttered with joy as she heard his words, feeling the warmth and love in them.
"But I'm not a good cook. I'm not as skilled as my mother," she said, still feeling a bit down about her cooking.
Aditya's voice was full of love and understanding. "I love you just as you are, with all your little quirks and flaws. They're part of who you are."
Riya's heart swelled with affection, feeling like she was falling in love with him all over again.
"If cooking isn't your thing, that's okay, someone else can cook. And if you really want to get better at cooking, I'm here to support you in that. I'll be the first one to try your food, no matter how it tastes. If numbers confuse you, I'll help you with them. If teaching isn't your strong suit, I'll step in and teach. If you're impatient, I'll be patient for both of us. And if you lose your temper, I'll be there to calm you down," he said gently.
Aditya was extremely gentle with her. Just like how the girls had fallen for him, he also loved these girls with all of his heart.
Overwhelmed by emotion, Riya stood up quickly and moved towards Aditya. She wrapped her arms around his neck, drawing him close. Her heart was full of love as she pressed herself against him, feeling the warmth of his chest.
Their eyes met for a brief moment, full of affection and understanding, before Riya gently pressed her lips to his. Aditya responded warmly, wrapping his arms around her waist, and holding her close. Their kiss deepened, a tender and loving moment that spoke volumes about their feelings for each other.
Although this wasn't their first time kissing, Aditya felt that today Riya was more aggressive and more passionate today. Both of them continued kissing while standing there for a long time.
Around 30 minutes later, Riya couldn't hold her breath any longer so they stopped. She was slightly panting. But she still hadn't let go of him.
"Aditya, I want to do it with you." Riya felt she was ready to take the last step.
Aditya responded back with another deep French kiss. Aditya then picked Riya in his arms and then carried her to her bedroom. Since his bedroom was occupied by Julia and Alicia, he didn't go there. Since this was her first time, he wanted her to be alone and special.

Click!!!!
As soon as they entered the bedroom, Riya became much bolder than before. She pushed Aditya against the wall and engaged him in a deep kiss while his arms roamed all over her body which she loved.
At the same time, two small thin green veins rose from the ground. The two green veins slowly removed her clothes bit by bit while she was busy kissing him.
As for removing his clothes, she was going to do it with her own hand. As she locked him in a deep French kiss, her hands slowly slipped his T-shirt. Her arm rubbed over his abs for a few seconds before she began slowly removing his T-shirt.
Riya always had been ready for this moment. She has been jealous when Julia lost her first time to Aditya. She has been jealous when Alicia lost her first time to Aditya. She has long waited for her time to come. There were times when she wanted to jump on Aditya but she didn't want him to think that she was a perverted woman.
After their conversation in the living room, Riya has never felt this sure in her life before. Aditya had made her fall in love all over again with those sweet and sincere words. If there was any man that she wanted to be with, that man had to be Aditya otherwise she would rather stay single for the rest of her life.
Huff!!!! Huff!!!!
Aditya and Riya broke their kiss. As their mouths separated both of the lips were still connected by a string of saliva. Both of them stared at each other's eyes. They did not feel any shame or embarrassment. Tonight was the night for them to lay out their honest feelings and desires to each other.
"I don't like being dominated. I like to dominate instead." Saying these words, Aditya turned around and pushed Riya against the wall. Unlike when doing it with Alicia or Julia or both of them at the same time, Aditya has to worry about his strength. He had to keep his strength in check otherwise, he might end up hurting them. But since Riya was mid 5th-order cultivator Aditya didn't need to be held back against her.
Pushing Riya against the wall, Aditya ripped her clothes with his bare hands. He didn't need any green veins to remove his woman's clothes for him. Even though these green veins must follow Riya's orders, he still felt jealous. This job was only reserved for him and no one in the whole world had the right to do this job.
Understanding that Aditya was going to remove or more like tear her clothes with his own hands, Riya sent the green veins back as she stared at him with a small smile. His gaze made Riya feel like she was a small poor rabbit who was about to be eaten by a big wolf. She felt her whole body was on fire because of his gentle touches and the way he kissed her.
