The crisis in the city was resolved. The dungeon was back in order and was currently in a state of evolution. Meanwhile, the city was reopening. Without Siti, we couldn’t reestablish travel with the Capital. I wanted to give it a few days though. We were still a bit vulnerable. People were recovering and the city was repairing.
I wanted to go out and start searching for my girls, but I needed to stabilize things here first. I had responsibilities now, and I could just abandon everything and run out on my own. I kind of was just sitting there casually eating breakfast at the moment. I was using Xin, Elaya, and Astria, giving them orders to relay. Well, Elaya and Astria were somewhat unreliable so I didn’t depend on them for more than occasionally asking questions, but Xin was extremely compliant. She worked hard and accepted every command without issue.
“Master, are we going to talk about last night?” I heard such a question.
“Hmm? What’s that?” I asked.
“You did that with another girl in front of me!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI let out a cough. “Ah! Alysia… that… can’t you close off your senses?”
“Whether I can or not isn’t the question! My soul is combined with Master, when you do such things, I can feel it.”
“F-feel it?” My eyes widened. “You didn’t say anything!”
I hadn’t been thinking about it at all last night. Faeyna had simply thrown herself at me, and I had decided to do what was necessary and get closer to her. Alysia had kept completely silent, but she was still my sword and resting in the blessing on my hand. Thus, she would have had a front-row seat to everything we had done the previous night. It had been a threesome all along and I didn’t even realize it!
“H-how could I say anything when Master was doing this and that… and once I thought it was over, Master turned so rough!”
“Sorry… I scared you…” I immediately apologized.
“It’s not that! Why didn’t you act so rough with me?” She responded with a pout.
“That’s why you’re angry?”
“I may be a princess, but I’m tough and strong…”
“I didn’t say you weren’t.”
“Just because she’s a hero or whatever doesn’t mean that I can’t take everything you throw at me!”
“It’s not that…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe seemed to have formed some incorrect theories about us. She thought I had been gentle to her because she was a Princess and rougher with Faeyna. After all, she was the Maid Hero. It wasn’t that at all. I acted rough with Faeyna exactly because of a blend of aggressiveness and timidness. She teased me with every movement but was too inexperienced to know anything. It had incited the beast in me so I had gotten rough with her. Meanwhile, Alysia was far more reserved, and also her strength made me see her more as an equal than prey to be eaten up. How could I explain the truth?
I ended up promising her to be rougher next time while tearing up on the inside. Thankfully, she dropped it and I was able to finish my breakfast in peace.
“There is a problem.” Xin sent me such a message.
I was just about to contact Celeste and figure out what the holdup was when Xin sent me a message. Slave Communication went both ways, but I had to open up the communication on my side. While the Slave Communication was open, it drained mana based on the distance between us. While in a formation with the girls, I would usually activate it for everyone so they could communicate at a moment’s notice. The amount of negligible for the current me, so I didn’t need to be sparring with it. Thus, I had left it open all morning as Xin did the requests I asked.
“What is it?” I asked.
“The outside of town. There is an army approaching.”
An army? Whatever was going on, this was probably bad.
