Chapter Title: 306. Ten Years Later (9)
“This should cover everything, right?”
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and looked down contentedly at my packed bag.
Sturdy cowhide material with plenty of room inside.
Mago had prepared jerky and watermelon juice for the trip.
And neatly tucked in was that farming book I’d been enjoying lately, *The Basics of Farming*.
It’d take about three days to reach Bakal in the reinforced carriage, so this felt like the perfect load.
Plus, the new road connecting Bakal and Leon made travel smooth these days.
“Packed up, now just need to memorize this…”
Next, my eyes fell on the small note the kids had written.
A list of souvenirs they wanted from Bakal.
From my eldest son Ian down to little Lea, who was due any day now.
I scanned the densely packed gift list.
It changed every time since they always wanted something new, which made browsing it fun.
「Ian: Dad, it’s not for me, but could you pick up a hairbrush on your way back?」
A boy asking for a hairbrush…
Was the kid already crushing on some girl and copying her?
「Helena: I don’t care about anything. Just come back safe and healthy, okay?」
My mature eldest daughter, the spitting image of the Emperor. She was such a good kid just looking at her.
Still, she’d love it if I brought strawberry cream cheese crepes from our usual spot.
「Lili: Trusting your sense, Dad~ You know what I like, right~?」
My little ankle-biting devil, Lili.
She’d probably adore hairpins for her pigtails. Essential for workouts.
“The cart’s gonna be heavy on the way back.”
I chuckled and read through the rest of the kids’ lists.
Then I tossed the note into the carrier bag and stood up straight.
It was almost 10 p.m.
To hit the road tomorrow, better turn in early, so I headed to the bedroom.
Passing the living room down the long hallway, rooms lined up—ones the wives used when visiting the Heavenly Palace.
Assuming they’d turned in already, I slipped quietly past to my central bedroom.
Without turning on the light in the dark room, I threw myself straight onto the bed.
Stretching out my arms and closing my eyes.
That’s when…
“Hm…?”
I faintly heard doors opening from the rooms on either side.
Normally, I wouldn’t have paid it any mind.
But both right after I entered my room? Someone stepping into the hall at the same time?
Suspicious, I sat up abruptly, messy hair and all.
Easing up to the bedroom door, I listened for movement.
“What’s this, out and about instead of sleeping?”
Lydia’s voice.
Curious why she’d come out, I cracked the door open just a sliver.
“Couldn’t sleep~. But you’re out too, Imperial Sister?”
Next came Miya’s voice.
She sounded pretty flustered running into Lydia in the hall.
“Me? Just… thought I’d take a stroll.”
“Oh~. A stroll sounds nice. But that outfit looks a bit chilly for it.”
Following Miya’s voice, I widened the gap a touch.
And the moment I saw Lydia…
“Ahem… That’s none of the vice-captain’s business.”
I couldn’t help swallowing hard.
She’d claimed it was for a night walk, but Lydia was in a qipao.
Clinging tight enough to show every curve.
The thin fabric even let the tips of her perky breasts peek through.
Especially that side slit baring her voluptuous thighs.
Even after two kids with her, nights still felt like our first time.
“And you’re dressed plenty impure yourself, Miya.”
“Me…? What about me?”
I shifted my gaze toward flustered Miya’s voice.
That instant.
“Since when does the vice-captain moonlight as a nurse?”
There she was, in a nurse outfit stretched taut over her body.
Crisp white design, black bobbed hair, and that seductive beauty mark.
Any patient she nursed like that wouldn’t calm down easy.
“No more hiding it, then. We’re after the same thing.”
Miya said it seriously, pinching the skirt clinging to her thigh.
Lydia crossed her arms alone in response.
“Hmph. Think I’ll share my night with you just like that? Dream on.”
The Empire’s third imperial princess placed a hand on her chest.
“I got pregnant with our Lili right after my first night with Veil.”
“Same here.”
The two stared each other down, neither backing an inch.
In the Empire’s loftiest Heavenly Palace hallway, two women—one in qipao, one in nurse garb—faced off in a bizarre standoff.
“You know how much Veil loves my body? Goes crazy for my breasts.”
“Size alone’s worthless. Compatibility’s what matters.”
My eyelids twitched as their voices grew louder.
Everyone in the palace would hear at this rate.
“Fine, then. Shall we go in together and put it to the test?”
“Sure, first one he acknowledges wins…”
I couldn’t take it anymore and flung the door open.
They froze at the sight of me in my tank top and shorts.
“……!”
Before the whole palace woke, I extended one arm to scoop Lydia’s thigh.
“Eek…!”
I hoisted her up with one hand.
Her face flushed at being lifted single-armed.
“V-Veil…! What’s gotten into you…!”
Startled back to princess-speak.
But I said nothing, turning to Miya instead.
“Hop on, too, Senpai.”
I strode to the sultry nurse knight.
Placed my free hand on her ample hips.
“Ngh…!!”
Now carrying both women in my arms.
I rushed them to my bed.
――――――.
I laid the two noble ladies on the spacious, soft bed.
Panting roughly, I said,
“You’ll wake everyone. Keep it down, please.”
My shadow fell over their faces.
Lydia’s unique red eyes gleamed with intrigue.
“Not a bad vibe…”
“Yeah…”
Lydia and Miya’s sweet scents wafted up.
Post-kids, their bodies hadn’t softened one bit—instead, softer, bolder.
“Wait just a sec, both of you. I’m off to Bakal tomorrow, remember?”
I reached out to calm my wives.
But…
“We know. But it’s only three days, right?”
Lydia, lying back, twirled one pigtail.
Flat on her back, her petite, seductive figure stood out more.
Tempting enough to flip up that thin, teasing qipao right then.
“You used to do it even the night before exhibition matches…”
Miya wasn’t slacking either.
Sleek and dizzying like Lydia, but hers were curves optimized for cradling a man.
Fit and smooth in her knight days, now after the second kid, impossibly plush.
“Whew…”
I slid between them.
Gazing at each in turn, I said earnestly,
“We can spend the night together when I get back. Don’t like it all messy with a crowd, you know?”
“…”
Lydia and Miya glanced at each other.
Both greedy.
They didn’t want to clash over precious nights, so they looked regretful.
“Promise. After Bakal, I’ll make it intense with everyone.”
I grinned like a sly fox.
They’d seen that smile plenty; reluctant but nodding.
“A promise… If crafty you’s promising, I can look forward to it.”
“If you’re saying that much…”
Lydia seemed disappointed but accepted, propping up slightly.
But…
“Kiss.”
The pigtail girl was more willful and seductive than I thought.
Pretending to get up, she straddled me for a deep kiss.
“Smack…. Mmm…”
Her trained, sensual tongue delved in, tasting my fluids.
Leaving her scent on me before my days away.
“Come back safe.”
Lydia said lightly, rising.
She slipped out, short qipao barely covering her rear.
Kiss-lightened, her pigtails bounced cheerfully.
“You’re pregnant too, Senpai. Try to hold off?”
“I’m fine.”
Miya fiddled with her taut nurse buttons, looking wistful.
Her fuller post-pregnancy curves heated my face.
“My doctor said it’s okay even pregnant.”
When’d she check that?
Her thoroughness made me smirk.
“Got it. Then after I’m back, I’ll stay by your side all night.”
“Fine. Can’t be helped.”
Miya rose obediently.
But she wasn’t one to leave easy.
Knight-quick, she grabbed my hand.
Slid it between her strained nurse buttons.
My fingers slipped between her hot, firm breasts.
“Make sure you do, Veil Mikhail.”
Her senior’s lesson in sultry eyes.
Whispering lewdly like a female cat in heat.
“My milk’s already coming in.”
That sweet line pooled saliva in my mouth.
She slipped off the bed cat-graceful, elegant stride to exit.
Finally, alone in the bedroom.
“Phew…”
Tension melted from my body at the dizzying duo.
Ten years on, my wives’ temptations never waned.
‘But freedom at last.’
I shook off my damp tee and lay back.
Savoring the peace, eyes closed.
“Time to sleep…”
Morning: sports day.
Day: bust the pacifier gang.
Night: dinner with the fathers-in-law.
Only after that packed schedule did sleep taste sweetest.
So I figured I’d sleep straight through to morning, no issue…
But the world wouldn’t let me off easy.
Door closed after the two wives left.
Then, faint presence in my supposedly empty room.
Time hadn’t dulled me—I was still Grandmaster.
Sharper senses now, swordsmanship and all five keener.
I’d catch anyone approaching easy.
――――――.
In my half-dreaming haze, two shadows loomed over me.
They shed the cloths concealing them.
Imperial top-tier artifacts, nullifying presence and mana perfectly.
“Got careless, Mikhail.”
Eyes half-open chasing sleep.
Bed dipped under weight climbing on.
Two, one each side.
“Wide open like this? Not like you, Veil.”
Heavier than with Miya and Lydia.
Then, the thick thighs of my two ambushers wrapped my body.
“Daring to go to Bakal without us…?”
Sweet pomegranate scent descended, embracing my nose.
Eyes snapping open revealed…
Lea, goddess of plenty, draping her grand, beautiful breasts over my shoulder.
“Infuriating, right, Irina?”
“Yeah…”
Black lace lingerie sheer over silk.
Irina contrasted in pure white.
“Your face when you thought you were going alone? Pure fox.”
The silver-haired imperial sister straddled my legs with plush thighs.
The Empire’s two loftiest ladies pinned me, gazing down.
“Can’t stop you leaving, so we’ll mark you good?”
“Yeah, real thorough.”
‘……!’
Their beastly lustful eyes made my eyelids twitch.
Too late, though.
Now seasoned fox-hunters, they smirked.
So, the night before Bakal deepened intensely.
If Mago’d been there too, I wouldn’t have woken till noon—a very deep night.
