In the morning, Anna came over to Max's room, humming lightly. She planned to spend some time training with him, which made her mood bright.
"This guy… he always gets up late. I have to ask Emily to scold him so he would change this bad habit. Hehe." She giggled when she imagined him standing meekly in front of Emily as she scolded him.
Then a dreamy look appeared in her eyes as she sighed inwardly. 'How amazing would it be if we could sleep together like we used to do in the academy? I won't mind him waking up late then. But I'm sure mother and others wouldn't like it at all.'
As she arrived in the hallway to Max's room, the door to Garima's room opened and she walked out, looking cold and indifferent as usual.
Seeing her, Anna put on a respectful expression on her face and politely greeted her, "Good morning, senior! Did you have a good sleep?"
Hearing this, the corner of Garima's lips twitched. When Anna noticed this, she sweated inwardly, 'Oh no! It seems I have annoyed her.'
She deeply respected Garima not only because she was a king rank mage but also because she was here to protect their family, so she didn't want to annoy her.
She was about to apologize when Garima nodded. "Good morning to you, too."
Anna's sighed in relief upon seeing this and then said, "Please go to the dining hall in a while senior, the breakfast is almost ready."
"Mm. I'll be there." Garima nodded before walking away.
Although mages above mortal boundary didn't need to eat or drink, since they could use their mana as the energy source for bodily functions. Most still occasionally ate and drank since they had already formed a habit of doing so. Of course, they didn't eat or drink daily and would only do it for enjoyment and to keep in touch with their 'human' side.
Cleary, Garima was one such person because ever since she joined their family, she would always eat with them if they offered. If not, she would just cultivate.
'It's really difficult to talk to her.' Anna smiled bitterly before walking toward Max's room.
Garima suddenly stopped in her tracks when she noticed it, turned around and called out, "Are you going to wake your brother?"
Anna stopped at her question. She was confused but still nodded. "Yes. Why did you ask senior?"
'Damn it! Why did I ask that?' Garima scolded herself and inwardly panicked, but didn't show it on her face. She then shook her head. "It's nothing." And vanished from the hallway, leaving a perplexed Anna.
"Did she have something she wanted me to tell him?" She muttered before shrugging and walking over to Max's room.
Knock! Knock!
She knocked on the door and called out, "Little Max, wake up. Breakfast is ready."
"…"
She waited for a while, but there was no response from inside.
"Is he still sleeping?" Frowning, she knocked on the door once again.
…
Meanwhile, inside the room, Max was soundly asleep with two naked beauties snuggling to his each side.
They had 'wrestled' all night and only stopped when it was almost morning. Max wouldn't have stopped even then if both Rima and Maria hadn't fainted from exhaustion.
That's why even though Anna had been banging the door and calling out to him, none of them reacted to it.
…
"Argh! Why isn't he waking up?" Anna cried out, annoyed.
Swoosh!
Just then, doors of the room next to Max's opened and Amara, wearing a displeased expression, walked out.
Seeing her, Anna said apologetically, "I must have disturbed you, right? I'm sorry."
"It's alright." Amara shook her head and then said, "Master won't wake up anytime soon. So, don't waste your time here."
"Hm? Why wouldn't he wake up?" Anna asked in confusion. Just as she did, however, her eyes opened wide in realization, "D-Don't tell me… he was…"
"Yes." Amara nodded, confirming her doubt. She then added, "If I'm not wrong, he must have lost control of himself since it had been a week since he last did it. So, he won't be waking up anytime soon."
Anna remained speechless for a while before her expression morphed and she became angry.
Stomping her feet, she walked away. "Let him sleep all he wants, then."
But then stopped, glanced at Amara and said, "Let's go. The breakfast should be ready by now."
"It's alright. Without Master, I wouldn't be comfortable among you guys." Amara shook her head.
Already angry, Anna snorted, "Do you want to remain his slave always? If not, you should try to get to know our family a little."
Saying this, she walked away, leaving a stunned Amara staring at her departing figure.
After a while, she frowned and mumbled, "What did she mean by that? Won't I be Master's slave if I get well acquainted with his family?"
Although she was confused and didn't believe it was possible, her heart couldn't help but race at the prospect of becoming something more than his slave: his woman.
Therefore, she decided to join the Garfield family for breakfast.
Max woke up in the afternoon and found two beauties staring at his face as they snuggled up to him.
"Good morning, ladies!" He said as he yawned and brought them closer to him before kissing their foreheads lovingly.
It was just an amazing feeling: waking up with your partner(s) in your arm.
"Good morning, lord husband!" Both Rima and Maria said at the same time before raising their face up to his and kissing him on his lips one by one.
Max was stunned for a moment, which made Maria nervous. Rima also didn't know what to think when he didn't respond and had a blank look on his face.
"Y-You didn't like it?" She asked, feeling a little apprehensive. She feared he wasn't serious when he allowed her to call him husband.
Suddenly,
Hahahahaha!
Max broke out in a loud, joyful laughter. For some reason, he just loved it when they called him husband.
To ease their worries, he hugged them tight, gave them a deep kiss each and smiled. "Of course, I like it. How could I not like it when my lovely wives call me husband with such affection?"
Both of their faces bloomed with a happy, blessed smiles when they heard it. Maria even had tears in her eyes as she buried her face in his chest and thanked the Elvin goddess for bestowing her with such happiness.
Rima was also feeling blessed right now, but she didn't cry. Instead, she planted her lips on his and put her tongue in his mouth for a deep kiss. She didn't stop for over ten minutes, leaving Max breathless.
After breaking the kiss, she looked him into his eyes affectionately, pecked his lips again, "Thank you!"
Max hugged her and shook his head. "There is no need for you to thank me. I should thank you instead for being in my life and accepting me regardless of my flaws."
A while later, when the girls calmed down, he glanced at them and asked, "So, who's idea it was?"
"Mine, of course. Our sweet Maria is too shy to suggest something like this," Rima teasingly said.
"You are right about that." Max nodded, which made Maria's expression drop a little. She also thought her shy and timid personality might not be Max's liking.
Noticing the change in her expression, Max looked into her eyes and kissed her sweet pink lips before saying, "I love the way you are. You don't need to change anything. But if you have something you want to say to me, don't ever hesitate, alright?"
"Y-Yes, my Lor- husband." Maria nodded, with tears in her eyes. She then took a deep breath, raised her head, and kissed him deeply. Just like Rima, she didn't remove her lips from his for over ten minutes.
When they broke the kiss, Max had a wide smile on his face and thought, 'They were right when they said one should always keep his wife or, in my case, wives, happy. If you keep her happy, she'll keep you happy.'
Maria blushed when she saw his smile, but didn't break eye contact with him. She then said, "H-husband, I do want something."
"Oh? Tell me, what is it?" Max said, feeling curious.
On the other side, Rima had a wide grin on her face. It seemed she knew what Maria was going to ask, and she couldn't help but chuckle. "I didn't know you were such a naughty girl."
