--AN) It's back! About 5 chapters a week!--
When I woke up, I found myself covered in Sophie and Adel. Both girls were half lying on top of me with their faces nuzzled into my necks. It was just that. "Sophie, don't suck on my neck when I am sleeping…."
"Tch…." Sophie clicked her tongue at me. I knew that both Sophie and I had adult minds, but Adel was still young.
"Don't click your tongue either." I teased as I tickled her with my free hand. She smiled and leaned over to kiss my lips.
"We should be arriving at the first stop." Sophie sat up and stretched her arms. She then got up and went to the bathroom.
When Sophie left, I felt another set of eyes staring at me. I turned to see Adel staring right at me as if trying to see through me. "Good morning, Adel."
"You kissed Sophie…." Adel pursed her lips.
"I did. Do you want a kiss, too?" I asked while reaching over and petting her head.
Adel blushed and nodded, causing me to raise an eyebrow. I, of course, could not allow Adel to feel left out. I leaned over and gave her a kiss on the lips, too. When my face got close, her eyes clenched tight. It was nothing more than a light peck like Sophie gave me, but it brought a bit smile to Adel's face.
"Hehe! Faith finally kissed me!" Adel seemed very happy.
I couldn't help but smile seeing Adel so happy. I loved this girl with all my being. I have repeated the process of trying to save her over and over. Love was something that, when it hit, your entire self would change. Luckily for me, it was this love that has allowed me to understand many things.
There was hope for all. People can come together and work as one to live peaceful lives. While this was true, there always needed to be a catastrophe to bring the different races together. This is what I gained from my experiences in my previous life.
I will not say I am some kind of guardian angel. I will not say I am a hero. I know in my last life, I was seen as such, but I did not mean to be anything of the sort. I had only wanted to help the kingdom that had shown me true kindness even though I was a demi human.
While I would still help this kingdom in the future, it will be on a much smaller scale. I will give the kind the things he will need to bring the kingdom to a brighter future, but I will not take part this time. The king was a smart man. He could do everything I did on his own.
"This town is the town of Belifest?" I asked as we exited the carriage. I never stopped off in this town, but I do remember it on the map.
"Yep. We will spend the day here to have a little fun before heading to the spirit domain." Adel said as she pulled Sophie and me along.
The town was much bigger than Cyrilia Village, which did not surprise me, but what I did find interesting about this place was the culture in this town was quite different from others. Artists littered the streets of different kinds, from acting troupes and musicians to just plain old painters.
Everyone was in a happy mood, and the city was very colorful. If one had a bad mood when coming here, they would quickly perk up and feel much better. This was just how much of a good, fun-filled vibe I got from this place.
"It's very lively." Sophie looked around with excitement flashing through her eyes.
"It is. Let's take a look around." I gripped both girls' hands and began walking down the street, taking the lead.
We walked over to one person who was doing paintings of people. I wanted to get a painting of all three of us together. "Sir, can you paint all three of us?"
"Sure! Sure!" The man seemed to be in his late sixties and looked very energetic. He quickly had us sit down before he went right to work.
It was tough sitting still for so long, but with both Sophie and Adel leaning against me, resting their heads on my shoulder, and my head leaning against Adel, I could hear the people behind us talking about how cute we looked. Little did they know that both of these girls were my wives! I couldn't wait until I got to shout it out loud. Although the king already knew I would be marrying Adel.
It took almost an hour for the artist to finish. Which actually surprised me since I figured it would take much longer. But I must say, when he turned the painting around, and I saw the image of the three of us together. I began to tear up. Adel and Sophie looked so cute I almost squealed. But I also couldn't help but think back to my past and the Adel who was left sleeping there.
"Faith?" Sophie must have noticed the change in my mood because she called out to me and squeezed my hand.
"It's nothing. I just think that this picture will become something the three of us will treasure for a lifetime." I paid the man, took the portrait, and stuffed it into my inventory. I planned to hang this up over the bed in my bedroom at the new house. "Let's go over there. They seem to be putting on a play."
The three of us, hand in hand, ran over to the next location. An acting troupe was putting on a play. It seemed to be a story about a man who was hurt during a major war and a princess who fell in love with him. A kind of Romeo and Juliet style story about two lovers from different classes. Adel cried while Sophie and I watched on with smiles on our faces, mainly because the acting troupe was a troupe that Sophie and I knew very well.
