Ethan stepped toward her, a low rumble of amusement in his chest. Without a single word of hesitation, he caught Hestia by the waist, pulled her close, and sealed her lips with a deep, authoritative kiss right in front of the entire assembly.
"You did an excellent job," Ethan said, breaking the kiss as his amethyst eyes locked onto her flushed face. "It is time to depart."
"I have brought everything you requested, Master," Hestia whispered, her breathing slightly uneven as she smoothly handed over a pristine, high-tier spatial ring.
Ethan accepted the ring, sweeping his divine sense through its massive contents before pocketing it with a firm nod. "I will reward you without a doubt, Hestia."
"Just grant me my wish when the time comes," she replied, her eyes shining with devotion.
"Of course I will, without a single doubt," Ethan said.
