Jen followed Trisha into the kitchen area to see her almost break down crying. "Trisha, what is wrong?"

"It's nothing. I just feel very lucky to have Yuki by my side. Even in the face of my brother and even in her current condition, she is still siding with me and trying to protect me. My heart aches for her because she is forcing herself to speak to people she barely knows in her current state. She only thinks about me and my well being instead of herself." Trisha turned to look at Yuki, who was watching everyone else talk among themselves. She bit her bottom lip as she did her best to hold back her tears.

Jen smiled and patted Trisha's shoulder. "I can see why you are so protective of her. Yuki is a great girl. I can tell she loves you very much."

"Mmm... She does, and I love her just as much. Jen, can I ask why you had to date my good for nothing brother?" Trisha decided to change the topic.

"To be honest… It's because although he acts differently in game and we met in the weirdest way possible, in reality, he is very good to me. I have been living with him for a couple of weeks, and normally besides today, he treats me like an angel. When I explained to him what happened, he jumped to all kinds of conclusions that I was doing it with Ryu in game. But now, look at him. He is trying to suck up to Yuki to get on your good side. It was like everything earlier never happened. You know your brother told me that as soon as he heard you went to college, he left the palace to live in an apartment to be away from the Evergreen family. There seems to be a lot more going on underneath the surface than we all know." Jen answered. She did not care about Greg's status nor being titled a princess if she married him. She only cared that the man she was with would love and trust her.

"Well... I will put up with him for your sake, but I will not forgive him so easily. You have no idea how much I suffered from no one willing to even glance my way. I have a new family now. Yuki, and Yuki's foster mother, Tina who has accepted me for me and loves me for who I am. If my brother treats you well, then I hope you two can live happily." Trisha said with a smile.

"Mmm... I will do my best. For what it's worth, I love that idiot." Jen confessed.

The two finished making tea for everyone and brought it out. Trisha put a straw in Yuki's tea with an ice cube to cool it down. She sat in Yuki's lap and held the straw up to Yuki's mouth to let her take a sip. This was very much a practice motion. The girls and guy looked at the two and could only let out a sigh. Greg looked at Jen and felt he truly had wronged her.  "Jen, sorry about earlier..."

Jen's eyes went wide as she looked at her fool of a boyfriend who was full of surprises today. She smiled gently and whispered: "Idiot..."

Greg grinned from ear to ear and got up to sit next to Jen, pulling her into his arms. Amber looked at Sophia and scooted over with a pouted lip. "Since everyone else is a couple, then Sophia and I will be a couple today. Come, Sophia, let's cuddle!"

Sophia chuckled as she let Amber hug her. This little action really lightened the mood as everyone smiled. "Since we are all here, we should begin discussing about forming our guild. With Greg and James joining, we are still 3 short of enough members." Jen decided to bring up this topic since so many of them were in the same place.

"I have an idea, but I am unsure if Trisha will like it." Greg suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm? Let's hear it." Trisha huffed. She was not keen on taking any ideas from this brother of hers, but for the sake of the guild she was making with Yuki, she would at least listen to the idea.

"I was thinking I could ask Father to invest in the guild and send three highly trained guards in game at night." Greg did not need to ask. While he was waiting for tea to come out, he had already had this idea in mind and mentioned it to his father. And surprisingly, His father wanted to use three from the numbers unit that was purely under his command.

Trisha thought for a moment, then looked at Yuki, who only looked back at her with eyes that seemed to read: "Whatever makes you comfortable."

"I can agree to this, but Yuki is the guild leader, and if we make our guild big enough to become a sect, she will be our sect leader." Trisha would not allow anyone else but Yuki to be the leader.

"Agreed!" All four people, Jen, Sohpia, Amber, and Greg, all nodded instantly, agreeing.

"So when can we create the guild?" Greg asked excitedly.

"We are currently about to enter a dungeon called Silver Springs. The quest reward will be a cultivation method. As Yuki and I already have a cultivation method, we can easily sell ours or give one to you and the other to my other useless brother.. Depending if it is bound or not." Trisha explained with a hint of disdain towards the last part of her words. She would rather sell it off, but if it will make the guild stronger, she figured it might be better to keep it.

Greg's stared at Trisha blankly. He was hung up on the whole part of where Trisha said that her and Yuki already have a Cultivation method. "This… Wait. that update recently and the world wide message about people finally starting the path of cultivation. Don't tell me that it was you two!?"

"Mmm..." Trisha hummed and nodded her head. She felt proud about this fact.

"Then… Can I ask what your current cultivation is?"  Greg asked with a shaky voice.

"We are both in the fortification realm, stage 8, why?" Trisha grinned widely seeing the look of disbelief written all over Greg's face.
