Twitching my white fox ears as I groggily wake up, taking a deep breath while feeling refreshed, I looked dazedly at Anastasia who was sitting beside me affectionately stroking my hair and fox ears. I have to admit it was the best feeling I experienced.
"Did your mom tell you to seduce me," I asked nonchalantly.
Looking at her hand who froze midair while stroking my hair I can't help but lightly pinch her cheeks.
"It was obvious that you wouldn't dress like that without someone telling you, and it must have been your mom."
Looking at her slightly shaking shoulder with her eyes glistening with tears, she tried to look away but I quickly cup her face and look at her in the eye. She must have thought that I think of her as a cheap woman.
"I wasn't really angry or anything, on the contrary, I'm happy that you are officially mine," I said with a gentle voice as I caress her face slowly trying to ease her down. Of course, I know that something is wrong it was too sudden and dragons are too prideful to give herself to a man who she just met yesterday. But turning her down will probably hurt her confidence and truthfully I was really turned on that night.
"So what is the reason"
"Un,*sob* my mom told me that you were close to my cousin *sob* and so I should make a move so that you wouldn't forget about me."
"Cousin?."
"Un, Fafnir she's my cousin"
"I-I see, but that's doesn't seem to be the main reason," I asked her while tilting my head.
"Y-your seed and I'm her auntie so if you ever marry with Fafnir first I have to be her little sister in the hierarchy," she said almost inaudibly while blushing in shame.
"M-marry Fafnir I haven't even proposed to her and I didn't yet love her romantically," I argued.
"But she said you pat her head and it's a gesture that she was under your care, it was a proposal" her answer made me pale in realization, then doesn't that mean that Ladon would have more reason to hate me and get in our relationship.
"Did L-Ladon know this?" I asked shakily.
"N-no, but my mom did" tilting her head in innocently as if she didn't understand the dire situation. Then thinking about it more her mother is the one who urged her so maybe she didn't tell him yet.
I can still have time to appeal to Ladon and then get away with it without making our relationship complicated. Thinking while consoling myself.
Sighing in relief I patted my chest and decided to embrace Anastasia who was still shy in our little skinship which makes her even cuter for me despite her usual stoic expression.
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
Gently pulling her in my embrace as she laid softly in my chest, I wrapped my left arm around her waist while gently stroking her hair with my right hand, carefully avoiding her curved horns. Who knows if it were rude to touch the horns of dragons, even Fafnir.
We stayed like that for a few minutes and decided to head downstairs for breakfast. As we walk downstairs while holding hands, Ladon greeted us with a dark look while releasing a savage aura. But before he could erupt he was punched in the head by Amelia who was by his side. Much to my shock. Holy shit even a demi-god can feel her punch, looking at Ladon who looked up to his wife with eyes full of grievance.
"Don't worry about him, let's go and eat breakfast."
"Um" nodded Anastasia without breaking her stoic expression.
"Are you sure he's okay.," I said while looking worriedly at Ladon who was lying with his face down. Looking at the poor man hoping that Anastasia wouldn't change to a brute woman after our marriage.
"It's okay, it's okay he wouldn't die just by that,"
Of course, I know that he would be okay he was a demi-god, what I'm asking is emotional. Poor guy. Looking at the pair of mother and daughter who walk ahead without care, it seems to be a normal occurrence. I'm lucky that Anastasia seems gentle compared to her fierce mother. (Or is it).
We leave Ladon behind as I followed the two. As I can't talk Ladon right now without him getting angry.
When we arrived at the dining table I was surprised to see Fafnir sitting in front of the table while staring intently at foods. Then the fork she's holding flew towards my head which I dodged with ease and with a sonic boom punched a whole to ceiling while the maids hastily rushed out to fix the damage. I don't how much their wage is but I respect their dedication to serve this family.
"Your Majesty," She said as she slightly bowed in my direction.
"W-what's the matter Fafnir," I asked while my mouth twitch as she greeted me like nothing happened.
"Grandma said that you should kill unfaithful man," she said with a monotone voice as if stating a fact. Then turn towards Amelia who was all smiles and Anastasia, as usual, has a stoic face .
" Grandma, Auntie," while the two greeted in return.
As we sat down Anastasia sat beside me and Fafnir followed after, competing for my attention, it was supposed to be heaven but what I'm feeling right now is complicated.
My father-in-law and grandfather in law at the same time who followed after is glaring daggers at me while chanting my name like a mantra while releasing a dark miasma when he knew our relationship.
"Alfius..even my cute and innocent granddaughter..."
While my mother in law and grandmother in law at the same time is full of smiles occasionally joining our talks, you can see that she definitely approved our relationship.
The three of us basically flirt the whole time with me the one eating the most while my two future wives fed me one after another much to the exasperation of Ladon.
"E-even my food...you're a devil Alfius you're not a God" he muttered while guarding his food.
Then when they were almost done Fafnir suddenly dropped a bomb.
"Then Your majesty are you also going to marry Ceria," she said, Anastasias eyes grew cold and Amelia asked who she is.
"She's a 15-year-old minotaur" she replied and continued to eat.
"E-even a child..." muttered Ladon while looking at me with eyes widened in amazement with his mouth open and bread hanging in his mouth.
While the smile on my mother in law cramped and Anastasias gaze turned even colder. After that, I explained the misunderstanding trying to save my reputation.
Honestly, I was tempted to say that I didn't know about patting heads but if I say so then Fafnir will get sad and would probably worsen the situation and I was a greedy man, I like Fafnir, she's cute, and most of all I already like Fafnir, my feeling for her will only grow more after spending time with her.
