I could then see a man in the slight distance clapping

“You can stop know, Zueg” the man said

Then the person stops and laughs

“Sorry for scaring you too much, bud,” Zueg said laughing

“Didn’t I tell you to be less scary when someone is here” the man previously clapping said

“I know, I know, but it is so entertaining to see someone getting scared”

“So where am I,” I asked

They both looked at me

“Oh you are in Miss Talia’s underground torture chamber” the man replies

“And I am the torturer,” Zueg said

“But don’t worry, I don’t have any orders regarding killing you so you are fine”

“We should take you up to Miss Talia since you seem lost,” the man said

“Zueg, bring him to Miss Talia”

“Alright!” as he carries me and puts me on this shoulders and starts to walk to the exit

Upon going up the stairs up to the ground floor I was asked certain things

“How did you get down there anyway,” Zueg asked

“I was transported there from the other world”

“But all the portals around here don’t lead down there in the other world though,” the man said

“What other method did you use to get there,” the man said

Since I could lie my way out of it, I told the truth

“I got here by this coin” as I show the man the coin

“Wait, how did you get that” as the man seems more urged

“Oh I got it from Lily”

Then both Zueg and the man stopped

Zueg then placed me down and gave me a good look same did the man

Silence then filled the stairway, this scared me, since mentioning Lily made then stop

Then after a couple of seconds, both of them kneeled lightning fast on the stairs, which seemed every uncomfortable

“We are sorry for our behavior,” the man said

“My name is Sebastian and I am the humble caretaker of the castle”

“And my name is Zueg and I am the very esteemed executioner and torturer of fugitives and criminals”

This, of course, confused me, as I didn’t know what was going on

“Wait, why are you kneeling?”

“We are paying our respects to the next king of the Abyss, sir,” Sebastian said

“Wait… WHAT?!”

“It seems that you are unaware of that sir,” Zueg said

“Of course I am!”

“It does seem that Lily didn’t mention this to you as you are engaged with her as well as Miss Talia’s finance”

“Finance, engaged?!” Those words baffled me

“You will find out soon, sir,” Sebastian said as he made a way for me

“Please make your way upstairs, sir”

I then continued upstairs with Sebastian and Zueg until I reached the top

And there I saw Lily and Talia on there

“Sebastian, why did you take so long down there, I thought you were going to just check and not party down ther-” Talia said and stopped as she saw me along with Sebastian and Zueg

“Ahh, honey!” as Talia then jumped to hug me disregarding the fact that I had the Sun cloak, but it didn’t burn her this time as my cloak had already run out of “power”

Lily seeing this got jealous and also jumped and hugged me

“Welcome back, darling” Lily replied

“Wha..”

“Would you mind telling me what is going on?” I asked Lily and Talia

“Whatever do you mean honey aren’t you my finance?” Talia continued to hug me but this time tighter

“Yeah” as Lily did the same

Being squeezed I replied, “Alright, alright”

“You must have forgotten haven’t you,” Talia said

“Why don’t we take you to our room” Lily added on

And just as they said that they then dragged me to their room

“Sebastian, Zueg, HELP ME!”

But they were also caught up in the misunderstanding

“I don’t believe they have someone they love” Sebastian getting shedding tears and using a handkerchief to get rid of the tears

“I know right” Zueg cried along with Sebastian

Knowing that I could rely on them either, I admitted defeat as I was dragged straight into the room and tossed on to the bed by Talia

“Would you now, care to explain?” I asked them as I changed my sun cloak back to my Wanderer’s cloak

“Well…” as Lily looked away from me

“It is because our father is going back to meet us and well…” Talia then looked away

“...” I think I understood the situation

“So you want me to cover you as your fiancée/engaged person until your father leaves?”

“Well, it is more complicated than that” Talia said

“It is because we were boasting that I got engaged and Talia got a fiancée so that we don’t have to be engaged with someone else,” Lily said

“Yeah, that man is a pig” Talia declared

“So for the time being, please act as our lover” Lily and Talia pleaded

“So is this what the paper is about as I showed them the quest paper”

“Yes…” they both replied

Having taken the quest, I could refuse it or it would probably get in trouble with Claire and Kate since they didn't like to fail quests

“Alright then, what are you going to give me in exchange?”

“Well, we were planning to give you a coin that would teleport you to here, but since you already have one, we will think of something later,” Talia said

Just as she stopped talking you could hear the voice of someone

“Talia, Lily! Where are you! Daddy’s home!!!” said, someone

Both Lily and Talia lost their motivation as they hear that and then put up a fake look and tone

“Coming!” they both said, forcing their “happy” tone out to go greet to what it sounds to be their father/husband?
