As I left the bathroom dry and wearing a towel, I encountered my girls who had just gotten up and were going to have a bath. They all seemed cheerful this morning, so I was glad they were getting along. I realized a Japanese girl was on her knees lifting my towel. I heard a sniffing noise.

“Master has released this morning. I smell an elf. Master is still unfaithful.” Shao said, looking up at me coldly.

“She was just helping me with a bath,” I said helplessly under Shao’s cold stare.

Fortunately, Faeyna wasn’t in the bath with me. She had departed first in order to make food while I finished up. She was really thorough with everything, it seemed.

“Wait, the bathwater hasn’t been changed!” Lydia declared. “That means… Master’s seed…”

“If we bathed in it, couldn’t we get pregnant?” Miki asked uncertainly.

“I’m first.” Shao had disappeared from under me and was now shoving to get through the door.

“Shouldn’t we change it?” Celeste asked.

“I heard it’s good for the skin.” Terra shrugged, “It makes it extra smooth.”

“Ah? Really, Master has been holding back! Master, you definitely must give me bathes in it!” Celeste declared.

“What do you think I am, a firehose!” I cried out.

While the girls were fighting to get in the bath first after me, I decided to use the opportunity to escape. If I stayed any longer, the girls would make me join them and then no one would get clean. Well, I already was satisfied, and too much satisfaction wasn’t good for the heart. I’d definitely need to keep that mischievousness as a nightly thing or my life would turn into a hentai and nothing would get accomplished.

As I headed down, I heard a knock on the door. By the time I made it to the foyer, the door had closed and Faeyna had already gotten it. She walked up to me and kneeled, showing a letter in her hands. I picked it up out of her hands and looked at the seal. It was the seal of the royal family. I was planning on stopping by the castle today anyway, but it was a little surprising that they would send me something. After opening it up and reading it, I realized it was an official summons from the prince. It might be serious.

I decided to let the girls get comfortable in the new mansion, so I left. Carmine came along as my official guard. I’d rather she was guarding the mansion, but with Shao there, it was more like we needed the rest of the city to be guarded against her.

I didn’t use portal or anything special to get to the palace, so it ended up being a bit of a walk. About an hour later, I introduced myself to the guard and he instantly sent someone to bring me in. A few minutes later, I was in a receiving room. The door opened, and the familiar Prince Aberis walked in, his brows furrowed in worry.

“Prince-“

“Please… call me brother.”

“Ah… Brother…” Nope, it still felt weird.

“I need your help, Deek.” He finally sighed. “The Demon Lord has escaped!”

“You don’t say…” I scratched my cheek.

This was going to be an awkward conversation.
