Raegar finished making the hot tea as Nivara stumbled out of the tent, letting out a yawn. He glanced at the Dark Elf and smiled. ''Want a hot drink? It will warm you up?''

''Yes please,'' she replied, rubbing her eyes as she sat down next to him. ''Last night was rough, that will made me shiver.''

''The fire was useless,'' he added, handing her a cup.

Nivara took it with a smile just as he got rid of the Fusion Soldiers thanks to no more monsters attacking when they weren't paying attention. This left them alone next to the abandoned barn. Raegar looked at the Elf and revealed. ''You drink your tea while I put the everything away.''

Following that, he approached the tent and waved his hand, storing it in his ring before taking a sip of his own drink, the liquid warming him up from the inside out. After that, he glanced across the river where a farmstead was built surrounded by fields of crops as farmers went about their business.

''Should we get moving?'' Nivara's voice echoed behind him. ''The others are waiting.''

''Yes, let's get going,'' he replied.

The duo got back on the road, tea still in their hands as they finished them, allowing Raegar to store them away. Hours later, they spotted Alice's home inthe distance. It looked like most noble manors, high walls circled it. Gardens lay beyond causing him to remember the Duke but the blonde told them that he wasn't there.

'Good, I don't want to meet too many people,' he thought.

Some time later, Raegar stopped outside the gate where the Duke's soldiers stopped them from moving forward. The commander stepped in front of them, a bored expression on his face as he spoke. ''Who are you two?''

''Raegar and Nivara,'' he replied, scanning the garden incase any of the women were there.

''Prince Raegar? The young man engaged to Empress Dahlia?'' one of the guards questioned, looking skeptical.

''That's me,'' he answered, laughing at the soldiers doubts.

When the soldiers was about to retort, a female's voice came from behind the gate. ''Let them through, that's my fiance and harem sister, Harold.''

Raegar laughed at thier panicked reactions just as Alice appeared, green eyes full of love as she noticed him standing there. The soldiers rushed to let the duo in and when the gate opened, the blonde rushed forward, wrapping her arms around his shouldes, he returned the gesture as she kissed him passionately.

He reciprocated the kiss as Nivara giggled from the side. After a few minutes, they broke apart as the tanned beauty revealed. ''The others have gone into the city, they wanted to buy stuff after killing a horde of monsters while traveling here.''

''That's doesn't surprise me to be honest, they all love shopping,'' he answered.

Following that, Alice led them inside as a older woman who looked like a more mature version of his lover but with lushous grey hair that stopped at her ears and she had deep blue eyes. The newcomer smiled, gretting them. ''Alice, my darling niece! Is this the infamous Blackwood? The one who stole your heart after trying to bully him?''

Nivara couldn't hold in her laugh as she covered her mouth as the blonde looked mortified and retorted. ''I never bullied anyone, aunty. It's not my thought if I was friends with the idiot who tried!''

Alice turned to him, a worried expression crossing her face. ''Rae, tell her how we met, please.''

''She was part of the group who attempted too but defended me and got tossed aside,'' he revealed, smirking at the blonde. ''Then I happen to like her and here we are, a powerful Aether Mage who has helped me in many battles became one of my lovers.''

When the older woman heard this, her smile grew wide as she stepped forward, introducing herself. ''I'm Sasha Sunfire, sister of the first wife of Duke Tyrone. It's a pleasure to meet you, nephew-in-law.''

Raegar was surprised but nodded. ''It's a pleasure to meet you.''

''Call me aunty or Sasha,'' she purred aid, making Alice shrink into herself. ''You're marrying my niece, so we'll be family.''

''Okay,'' he said.

This put a smile on Maria's face as she turned to Nivara, who became nervous under the older woman's gaze. She looked at Alice before asking. ''Is this assassin you told me about?''

When Raegar heard this, he noticed the Dark Elf roll her eyes as he jumped in. ''We've resolved that, it was a strange first meeting but I'm not complaining, because she's a lovely young woman.''

Maria glanced at him, green eyes full of wonder as she replied. ''Good.''

She turned to Nivara and hugged her. ''My girl, what a first meeting but I guess his legendary charm got to you?''

The Dark Elf's face went darker, making Alice giggle in amusement as she finally asnwered. ''Yes it was and I don't regret it but this human has got his claws into me and won't let go.''

Maria giggled at this and nodded. ''Good, men like that are keepers, don't let him go or you'll grow old dry and sexless,'' she teased.

Nivara's cheeks flushed deeper at the remar. Alice let out a long sigh, pinching the bridge of her nose as if her aunt's theatrics were a familiar storm she'd weathered a hundred times before. Raegar let out a appreciative laugh, the sound rough and genuine. Only then did he truly look; at the older woman, and the sight stole the breath.

Sasha stood there like a sun-baked goddess, skin the color of toasted honey, glowing warm even in the barn's shitty light. That silver-grey hair hung in thick, tousled waves, framing a face that could start wars, a mouth made for trouble, and those huge blue eyes sparkling like she knew every dirty thought in the room and liked it.

His stare dropped lower, greedy. Her boobs were massive, heavy, straining the front of that tight blue dress until the seams looked ready to pop. The fabric hugged her like it was jealous, clinging to a waist so narrow he could span it with both hands, then flaring out over hips that screamed grab me.

Every breath she took made her glorious chest shift, threatening to spill right out and ruin a man's concentration for good. Raegar's felt himsefl twitch hard enough to ache. He dragged his eyes back up, but the heat stayed coiled low and hungry, ready to burn the whole night down.

''Rae, are you okay?'' Alice asked, ''Why are you staring at my aunty like that?''

''She's gorgeous,'' he muttered as Sasha spoke to Nivara.

When the blonde heard this she stiffened before hissing. ''Don't you dare charm her! She's engaged to be married with a family the Sunfire's are longterm allies.''

Raegar nodded. ''Alright, I can't promise anything when you know I love a beautiful older woman.''

''Well she's one you can't have,'' Alice replied, a jealous looked crossing her face.

Following that, Sasha approached them after terrorizing Nivara until the Dark Elf shut down, prompting her to look at the blonde. ''My niece, why don't you show her to the bathes? She'll love the hot water?''

Alice froze at this, glancing between Raegar and Sasha looking lost, making the older woman giggle. ''Don't worry, dear. I don't plan on stealing your man, you know I can share.''

Her words made things worse but Nivara looked at the blonde. ''Can you take me? We can wash before the others get back?''

''Come on, niece,'' Sasha rushed the younger two off.

Raegar was about to speak but the older woman rounded on him, blue eyes narrowed. ''Enjoy the view?''

He gulped but nodded. ''Yes.''

Sasha stepped toward him, her Tier Ten Aura radiating from her seductive body as she leaned in. ''And what did you think?''

''You're gorgeous,'' Raegar answered, feeling his cheeks going hot.

Sasha's eyes lit up lat his words, a smile curving her lips. ''Tell me, handsome," she murmured. ''Do you have a weakness for older women?''

Raegar let his gaze sink, into her cleavage, tanned skin glowing warm, her breasts rising with every breath. ''Empress is twenty years ahead of me," he said, low and rough. ''Yuki's ten. I don't chase girls. I chase women.''

Sasha's laugh was and knowing. She closed the last inch between them, until her chest pressed firm against his. Heat radiated through the thin fabric, her heartbeat a steady drum against his ribs. Her lips grazed the edge of his ear, breath warm and teasing, sending a shiver down his spine.

''And what about the ones who are dominant?'' she whispered, the words curling like silk around steel. ''The kind who take the reins, slow, sure, and merciless, until you're the one trembling, begging for mercy you don't actually want?''

Sasha's eyes narrowed, playful and bright, as she leaned in until her breath ghosted over his lips. ''Careful, handsome,'' she murmured, voice like warm honey. ''You keep staring at my tits like that and I'll start thinking you want more than just a conversation.''
