The Eternal Family

Chapter 12: Unbelievable

Unable to speak, she simply pointed at him and then at her, her jaws slack.

He chuckled as he once again embraced her tightly before patting her head and waiting, patiently waiting for her to calm down.

Soon, her rapidly beating heart calmed down slightly, and she asked in puzzlement, "How did you use my ability? What is your ability in the end?" She had a suspicion but wanted to hear it from him to confirm her extraordinary thought.

Nodding, he replied, "As you guessed, I can copy anyone's ability after having true deep sex with them. Of course, there is a limitation. Only incestuous relationships grant me abilities; others need something called a soul bond or something to work, I'm unsure of its details..."

"Can you have multiple abilities simultaneously, or just one at a time?" That was the crucial question, yet she already had a disbelieving smile of relief and excitement. This ability was unprecedented.

It was just too...unbelievable.

Even if he could only have one ability at a time, he could have hers and he would still reach the Apex!

Blushing at the thought, her excitement grew when he answered, surprising her even more. "I can have as many abilities as I want in my collection. However, if my hunch is right, I can only use one ability at a time."

It was a limitation he anticipated he would face, but he was uncertain as of now since he currently possessed only one ability.

Lilly's eyes momentarily sparkled as she spoke. "That shouldn't be much of a problem. Using two Gifts at a time is not really important. You can simply use the best-suited ability for the moment, and..." Her voice trailed off as she suddenly comprehended that he would have to have sex with other women to fully harness his ability. Her eyes instantly dimmed.

No way...

Understanding her thoughts, he gently kissed her cheeks and reassured her, "As you think, I will encounter many women throughout my life, particularly our blood relatives. But don't worry in the least. No matter how many women come, you will always be my top priority and my most beloved sister. You will always be my greatest."

Her eyes were still dim and struggling, she reluctantly nodded, about to tear up slightly.

"Hey, hey, don't show that expression, please." Hugging her tight and patting her head, "I can't even play with you, can I? Tell me what you want me to do. Even if I don't use my Gift to absorb other gifts, I have your DreamWalker ability. So, I can surely become one of the most exceptional individuals in the world gradually. If you desire it, I won't have any other women in my life besides you, Mom, and... Anna."

He even had a plan if she wanted it like that, though he didn't voice it explicitly.

Looking at him, filled with self-worth due to his consideration, she lovingly spoke, her voice pouting: "No, just being one of the top Gifted with an ability like yours would do it an injustice. So, I want you to strive for improvement instead. We are all..." She smiled, "We are all Gifted now. And as a gifted, if we don't want to know what lies after Stage 5, what is the meaning? And I believe Brother." Her eyes shined like the night as she said, "I believe brother... You can surpass any Gifted yet. And truly reach Awakening."

Harry nodded and kissed her forehead, saying, "I never knew you were so ambitious."

"You never asked..." Lilly muttered and bit his lips.

He bit back and they stayed kike that for a while. He asked, "What is your ambition?"

Lilly breathed in the manly scent of her brother and then said, "My greatest ambition WAS to become the strongest I could be, and with my Gift, one of the strongest people in the continent. And then travel the world with just us three, and study more about Gifts and find their origin if possible."

"Was?"

"Hmm, now it is changed." Lilly smiled, "Now I want to be the sister of the Strongest Man on Mystry, just have fun, play around, be the lazy girl, and just enjoy her brother's hard work."

"That is quite the dream, the brother must be a lucky guy."

"You bet!"

"So in this beautiful story, will the heroine have kids in the end? Her brother's kids?"

Lilly blushed, her heart thrummed as she said, "Maybe?"

"So I am allowed to have concubines as long as you are the Queen, huh?"

Lilly rose a beautiful eyebrow, "Yeah, I'm also curious about what will happen once your ability reaches stage 1. However, I do have some conditions. As you mentioned, I will always be your top priority, the most important. Hmm...If you wish, you can include Mom alongside me. But no other women should be allowed near our level, and I might mention more conditions if I have any."

How can someone NOT love a supportive and affectionate sister like her?

He smiled and replied, "That's a given. You and Mom will always be the most important to me. After all, you were the only ones there for me at my weakest moments."

And in my stronger versions, I believe I will be there for you with everything I can offer... His tender smile remained as he contemplated.

It was a good feeling to know that there were people who had his back. No matter what she said, he knew she would be ready to break a bone anytime if he needed it.

Anna might be important, she might be a woman he cared about... But Mother and Lilly?

He could die for them without blinking,he would never do that fir Anna.

And to reach that part of his heart, it was impossible by just being a maid for him without complaining for 3 years.

If she wanted to reach that level, she would have to work hard for it.

His Mom and Sister, they were on a tier of their own.

Moreover, he had even come to learn something more about his sister, deep down...

she had her own little ambitions.
