Damian entered the room and was surprised to see Monica and Jane present, along with Ana, Carol, Natasha, and Sophia.

Upon seeing Damian, they all turned their attention to him, and Monica stood up and greeted him with a hug.

Damian laughed as he hugged Monica and planted a kiss on her cheek.

"How are you, my girl?" Damian asked, smiling.

"Well, even though I'm a little bored, I feel like I've already seen everything the world has to offer," Monica replied. Since graduating, she has been constantly traveling, climbing the Himalayas, exploring Greenland, and even venturing to the poles.

"What about the sea? It's the most unexplored area in the world, after all," Damian suggested with a smile.

"I hadn't thought about it. I wanted to ask for a spaceship to explore space, but exploring the sea is not a bad idea either. Maybe I'll encounter mythological monsters like the Kraken or Jörmungandr," Monica said, her eyes lighting up.

"I'm sure there must be something like that down there," Damian chuckled.

"In that case, I'll request the construction of a submarine for myself," Monica nodded, smiling.

"You really are a spoiled girl who gets everything," Jane teased, eliciting laughter from the other women.

"You've been spoiled in the same way since you arrived at this house," Monica retorted playfully.

"Speaking of which, are you ready for the party tomorrow?" Damian asked with a smile.

"Speaking of the party, do you think it might be too extravagant?" Jane asked. She was concerned about the event drawing attention, as it would likely be covered by the media. She had enough of people constantly hitting on Monica, and she didn't want to attract unwanted attention.

Jane had heard from Monica that women approached her for personal gain, and many men saw her as a potential way to become the future king by marrying the eldest princess.

Moreover, Jane couldn't take care of herself as well as Monica could.

"To be honest, it will be a bit extravagant. Are you worried that it might affect your daily life?" Damian inquired.

"A little bit," Jane nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you won't be recognized. Just dress casually and don't fret about it," Damian reassured her with a smile.

"Good," Jane replied, nodding.

"Well, I'll take care of that," Damian said, preparing to teleport away.

"Wait, where are my dear sisters?" Monica asked, hugging Damian just as he was about to disappear.

"They're playing on the lawn with Sassy," Damian replied, gently stroking Monica's hair.

"I see," Monica nodded before rushing off to find them.

"Remember to invite Jen," Sophia reminded Damian before he could leave.

"Of course," Damian acknowledged, swiftly vanishing before any interruption.

Damian materialized behind Jen, who was sipping tea.

"You used to respect privacy," Jen complained, slightly annoyed by Damian's sudden appearance.

"Don't worry about such things," Damian dismissed her concern.

"How are the girls?" Jen inquired, her smile faint but present.

"They're doing well, full of energy," Damian chuckled.

"Tomorrow is their birthday, make sure to show up and bring presents," Damian reminded her.

"And wear something that won't draw too much attention."

"Perhaps a wig," Damian added with a chuckle before vanishing.

"Bastard," Jen muttered, halting all the weapons that had been aimed at Damian mid-air, preventing them from striking their intended target. She cheerfully got up and made her way to the room where all the artifacts were kept, pondering what she could give to the mischievous little girls.

Suddenly, Jen couldn't help but think that Kamar-taj's treasures might not be enough to make it to the girls' 18th birthday, and that Damian would surely have more children.

"Well, then it'll just be one treasure each, and better when they're older," Jen said quietly as she went back to her room.

...

Damian arrived at a jewelry store inside his mall in New York.

There was a young salesman who was engrossed in his phone and hadn't noticed Damian's presence.

Damian, too, paid no attention to the salesman and began to look at the necklaces on display.

There were all kinds of beautiful necklaces, but Damian wasn't sure which one to choose. He planned to give it to Jane along with an enchantment that would distract people's thoughts when she wore it.

This way, she could interact normally, and when the party was over, she could simply take it off, and no one would know who she was, kind of like Superman's glasses.

Finally, Damian spotted a rather simple necklace with a small diamond at the end.

"Boy, give me that necklace," Damian said, startling the clerk, who almost dropped his phone in surprise.

The employee looked at Damian with surprise, while in his mind, he groaned, thinking that they were the same age.

"Of course," said the clerk, pulling out the necklace and showing it to him.

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Damian took it in his hands and examined it before nodding in satisfaction.

"Wrap it up," Damian said.

The clerk nodded with a smile, thinking about the bonus for selling the necklace.

Damian paid for the necklace before disappearing in front of the salesman's face, making his face turn pale.

The salesman quickly ran to check the cameras, wondering if he was hallucinating.

Seeing that the person also appeared on the cameras, he couldn't help but wonder what had happened.

He finally decided never to mention it; no one would believe it, even with a video.

...

Damian appeared in front of his house and looked at the necklace inside the bag before starting to enchant it. It was a short process as the enchantment was not complicated at all.

With everything ready, he put the bag away in his storage space before entering the house.

To Damian's surprise, the house was relatively quiet, which was rare in the past year.

Damian entered the living room where he saw all the women gathered together, talking quietly, while the three babies slept next to each other in a rather large crib.

"Hello," Damian greeted everyone with a smile.

"You didn't take long," Carol said, smiling as she went to him and hugged him.

"Have a little talk with Jen before you buy anything," Damian said, placing a kiss on Carol's blonde hair.

"Did they fall asleep a little while ago?" Damian asked, looking at his daughters.

"They eat more and more; they will leave my breasts dry," Carol complained.

"You can always ask Ana to replace you," Damian teased, laughing as he caressed her cheeks.

"You can't compare quality with quantity," Carol retorted, giving Damian a dirty look as she pinched him.

Ana looked at Carol as if asking what she had done to deserve that.

"How are your preparations for tomorrow?" Damian asked, changing the subject.

"Alright, we got some princess dresses for my little sisters," Monica said cheerfully.

"We were thinking of wearing the same color dress as our daughters, but in the end, the hair is enough for everyone to know who the mother is," Ophelia said with a laugh.

"In fact, I wonder if at some point my child will have my hair color," Damian chuckled.

"Maybe you don't put enough effort into the act," Sophia joked.

''Grandma!'' said Monica, embarrassed, as she gently kicked Jane, whose imagination had begun to run wild.

The only thing Damian could do in the face of his mother's mockery was to ignore her completely.

''After lunch, we will go to Madripoor and spend the night there,'' said Damian.

The entire group casually nodded, not caring to follow Damian's arrangements.

''By the way, who's going to the party?'' Monica asked.

''Only people from Madripoor,'' said Damian.

''As senators?'' Jane asked.

''Don't you know? In Madripoor, there is nothing like that. The greatest power is me and Ophelia,'' said Damian, smiling.

''So how do you manage the country?'' Jane asked in confusion.

''Madripoor has a single giant city, which is somewhat problematic but also easy to supervise.''

''After I took over the city, Ophelia and I got together with several architects and designed a circular city. We divided the city into sections and gave them to small mayors to manage. In the end, they simply reported to Ophelia,'' explained Damian to Jane.

''And the laws?'' Jane asked.

''You're talking to the law,'' Damian said with a chuckle.

''Pff hahaha, that's a good one,'' laughed Ophelia.

Jane just rolled her eyes.

''Speaking of Madripoor, is it true that there is no corruption or criminals?'' Jane asked.

''There is no one who knows the secrets of Madripoor and dares to corrupt themselves,'' Damian said with a laugh.

''As for criminals, the city has many of them.''

''Many police officers, firefighters, or soldiers are former criminals who became unemployed,'' Damian said.

''So your nickname, 'king of the underworld,' isn't a joke?'' Jane asked, looking at Damian with disdain.

''Girl, want to bet that if I sell you to some dealers in a few weeks, you'll end up in Madripoor?'' said Damian mockingly.

''Cough...no need, I believe you,'' said Jane, smiling.

''I'm sure a Ph.D. in astrophysics would sell quite well,'' Damian said, smiling at her.

''Idiot, they'd charge you even more for it,'' said Ophelia mockingly.

Damian just looked menacingly at Ophelia, who just gave him the middle finger behind Sophia's back.

The rest of the group chatted about different things until it got late, and they prepared everything before going to Madripoor.

The whole family arrived at the gate to Madripoor before crossing it, leaving the house alone except for the maids who stayed behind to look after it.

Once on the other side of the portal, they all walked to the elevator before reaching the palace.

Alice, Emma, and Ivy immediately ran off with Sassy onto the lawn to play.

Damian just chuckled before looking at Monica.

''Don't you want to go play too, honey?'' Damian asked teasingly.

Monica just looked at him speechless.

''I remember when you also played all over the palace with Sassy,'' said Damian, smiling as he hugged Monica with one arm and left a kiss on her head.

Monica was immediately pacified as she happily embraced Damian.

The whole family spent the rest of the day peacefully, making sure everything was ready for the baby's first birthday.

Just as Damian was about to relax in a hot bath, Carol approached him with a smile that promised nothing good.

''Honey, it's your turn to bathe the girls today, so good luck,'' Carol said, kissing him before running off.

Damian chuckled wryly before turning back to fetch his daughters.

Damian searched throughout the castle until he found his three daughters and Sassy in the kitchen, stealthily bringing out food.

Damian chuckled at their caution, assuming they were playing games to make sure no one saw them, as they were never forbidden to forage for food.

''We already have the yogurt. Let's go quietly,'' whispered Ivy.

''Alice, make sure you don't bump into anything like last time,'' whispered Emma.

''That table got in my way. Don't bump into it,'' muttered Alice, pouting.

''Why are we whispering?'' Damian asked quietly.

''So they don't find us,'' Alice whispered to Damian before going into shock.

Ivy and Emma also turned to look, only to find their father smiling at them.

''Abort the mission. Let's split up to escape,'' said Ivy before she started running on her little legs.

Emma also immediately started running in another direction.

Alice also wanted to run, but being the closest to Damian, she was instantly caught.

"Daddyyyy," Alice whined.

''Sorry, princess, but it's time to take a bath,'' said Damian, kissing his adorable daughter on the cheek.

''How about we go catch your sisters?'' Damian asked, smiling.

''I will not betray my sisters,'' Alice said seriously.

Damian gave a small laugh at the sight of her adorable face before giving her several kisses on the face.

''I guess I'll have to capture them in front of you,'' Damian said, giving her an evil grin.

Damian started scanning the palace for them. His daughters could run really fast if they put their minds to it for 1-year-old babies. This had caused them all a lot of headaches.

At this age, they could already run faster than an adult, so Damian spotted them quite far away.

Damian floated gently with Alice in his arms as he moved in the direction where he felt Emma hiding.

Damian reached the basement where the elevator to the labs was. Damian couldn't help but smile when he saw Emma on the ceiling, holding on to the lamps.

Damian pretended not to see her and entered the room, pretending to search.

''Sneak attack!'' shouted Emma before lunging towards Damian and hugging his neck.

''You're not supposed to shout it,'' Alice said with a laugh.

''At least Daddy didn't catch me first,'' said Emma, pouting.

''You're very good at hiding, honey. Don't worry,'' said Damian, smiling as he took Emma in his other arm.

With a baby in each arm, Damian advanced towards his last daughter, who was also the most mischievous and cunning. Damian can only think that Ophelia's genes are very strong.

Ivy was hiding by holding on to a ceiling lamp just like Emma, but Ivy proved to be more cunning by taking off her shoes and leaving them sticking out from under the curtain.

With the window open, the curtain moved slightly, which could confuse a person.

Damian advanced through the room until he reached and opened the curtain, at which point Ivy jumped toward him before trying to free Alice from his arm.

Damian didn't give her the chance, and when she jumped at him, he turned and caught her, holding his three daughters in his two arms.

''That was a nice try,'' said Damian, kissing Ivy on her little head.

Ivy laughed as she kissed Damian on the cheek with a smile.

''Your mother better not be teaching you that stuff,'' Damian said, looking at Ivy with a smile before bending down, floating Ivy's shoes, and holding them with his fingers.

''Let's go take a bath,'' Damian said before starting to walk to the bathroom as he chatted with his daughters, and they told him what they did for the day.
