Now that the whole reward rted thing was over, and to Kana''s sadness, it was time for them to leave, so after saying goodbye to them, Helena handed Aster a spare key for the front gate and then gazed at Kana who clearly wanted to stay more time here, which she found rather amusing.


    "Normally my other employee is in charge of the counter, Dahlia takes care of the garden, while I stay in the mansion most of the time, feel free to pay us visit whenever you want to, little girl", said Helena as she smiled at Kana.


    Something Aster noticed is that women tended to be quite friendly with Kana, even the other aspirants who fought with her back at the third trial, didn''t seem to keep a grudge against her.


    But on the other hand, he could rte, he still didn''t understand why would Robert be an asshole towards such a good girl like Kana anyway.


    "Thanks~", after thanking Helena, Kana left along with Aster and the others who were apanied by Dahlia to the exit of the store.


    "I should get going too, tomorrow the core elder of the ck sword faction would be imparting a wee lesson for those who came from other ster systems at midday, it would touch subjects such as the purpose of the sect and where do we stand as well as other information which isn''t avable for outsiders… I can take you all there if you want to".


    Agnes expectantly gazed at Aster waiting for his answer, she was there when he epted his next mission, so she knew they would be free for the next couple of days, that being said unlike others, Aster wasn''t forced to take the obligatory lessons for new disciples, so it all depended on whether he wanted to attend or not.


    Aster stole a gaze at her mother, she hasn''t told him too much about the time when she used to run rampant on the Dragon Legacy Heavenly Quadrant, and this sect was a good starting point to learn more about her.


    Also, Eris, Mylene and also him, needed to buy things for the new store, so he needed to go to the city in this small break from missions he will have anyway.


    "Sure, tomorrow you cane to the valley to have breakfast with us, and then we''ll leave, but first we have to buy some stuff so…".


    "No problem, I''ll be there in the morning~".


    Before Aster could finish speaking, Agnes agreed with a bright smiling expression and then without saying anything else, she became a sh of light and disappeared from everyone''s field of vision.


    ''Yup, a Fey without doubt'', thought Aisha as she giggled.


    Once they were outside of the store, Aster used his authority to bring everyone back to the Twin Sword valley, more urately to the hill where the castles were.


    Eric suddenly smacked Aster''s shoulder andughed.


    "Thanks for letting me tag along this time brother, I''ll be taking some missions with Sofia… I might not be able to catch up with you, but I need to make up a name for myself".


    "That being said, you can take sis and mom with you whenever you want, so that they don''t nag me hahaha!".


    ''Hey, don''t speak on behalf of others'', thought Tiana, but then she noticed Alice mocking her and she softly snorted, remembering a little bet they did, after tying every time they sparred.


    Eric''s words, reminded Aster that he had to make a dynamic for who he will be taking for the missions, of course the girls were free to go on missions on their own, but when he told them about it, they all answered the same "That would be boring".


    Felicia noticed her daughter''s expression and she smiled.


    "Sure, we are up anytime~", after saying that, Eric, Felicia and Tiana left to the other castle.


    Aster and the girls also entered their castle, everyone was now free to do what they wanted, Eris, Cam and Mylene went to the rune mastering and alchemy areas, respectively.


    As for the others, normally Aria and Alice would go to the training room, but they were a bit tired and there was better thing to do right now, all the girls exchanged gazes before they dragged Aster with them


    "Let''s go take a bath darling~", Lilia hugged her son from behind and they all went straight to the bathroom.


    After about an hour ofughs and gigglesing from the bathroom, the girls and Aster were chilling in the bathtub area, rxing after they washed each other bodies.


    Whoever designed the whole castle did it for the sake of arge family, the bathroom was simply huge, to the point that the shower could be an artificial cascade if the formation was adjusted for that.


    The same applied to the bathtub, it was more of a pool than anything, Aster leaned his back on the edge of the pool, while Kana and Sarina were sitting on hisp, Aria and Alice each took one of his arms while Lilia wasying down on the floor with her breasts resting on the back of Aster''s head.


    All of a sudden, Alice gazed at her brother and then pressed her body against Aster''s arm, "trapping" it, before saying.


    "Who is going to the next mission, with you?".


    The other girls immediately turned to see Aster with intense gazes, the only exception was Lilia, because she was going to keep an eye on him no matter what, of course she didn''t need to be physically present for that, and per her son''s request, she wouldn''t interfere unless it was absolutely needed, in any case either Mylene or Eris already epted to go with him always, and they were pretty confident in handling most situations.


    Aster didn''t know whether he shouldugh or cry, they just arrived from a mission and he was going to speak with the girls about this tomorrow, but they wanted to know right now.


    He then smiled and decided to get back at them for being too impatient.


    "The next mission is supposed to be an escort type, so Kana will be the oneing with me, she is the one thatcks real experience so there shouldn''t be any objections, right?".


    Kana snuggled on Aster''s chest while she cutely stuck her tongue at Alice, making thetter pout.


    "I think it should be order based… besides aren''t those two going with you anyway", she mumbled.


    Aster chuckled and then used his right hand to drag his sister closer to him, before kissing her lips.


    "That might be the case, but I''m not going to pay them the same amount of attention as to each one of you in our missions".


    The girls immediately blushed, in their impatience, they forgot the missions would be also dates, so that they could have Aster for themselves, while the time in the sect was for the family.


    "Fine, but I''m next~", said Alice as she tried to kiss Aster, but her n was frustrated by Aria who moved Aster towards her and stole a kiss from him.


    "Dream on, you had your adventure at Riga, after little Kana, it''s my turn to have Aster for myself".


    "You little…anngh~".


    "Hmm~"


    As those two were about to start arguing between themselves, Aster sneakily moved his hands downwards and squeezed their plump round asses, getting a reaction from both at the same time.


    "You know, I like to hear you two raising your voices to each other like that", said Aster with a little smirk on the corner of his mouth.


    Since those two received Aster''s attention, of course Sarina and Lilia as well as Kana asked for some too, still Aster didn''t take things too far, because he wanted to have some rest, they would have at least two nights to enjoy themselves anyway


    After some kisses and caresses, they all dried off and went straight to the bedroom, using only towels to cover their bodies.


    "Darling~", Lilia suddenly hugged Aster and jumped onto the bed, making their naked bodies bounce on the mattress a couple of times, before everything settled.


    Asterid down on the bed with Lilia resting on top of him, Alice, Aria, Sarina and Kana also got on the bed and they all looked for a space to cuddle with Aster.


    The room had a formation which allowed Aster to adjust the temperature, so he lowered it just enough for it to be fresh and the girls each did their own things while holding onto him.


    It was still a bit early for them to sleep, so instead Aster looked at Lilia who was lovingly drawing circles on his chest.


    "Mom, why don''t you tell me more about my godmothers, I know you want it to be a surprise, but at the very least I should know their names, also do they even know about sis and me?".


    Aster got curious about those two, since she has gotten to more or less interact with some immediate members of their families, Agnes and William respectively and he had to admit they were kind of "unique" in their own ways.


    "Mm, they don''t know about you two, in fact I haven''t contacted them since the very moment I arrived at Rodia, but it was for a good reason… while I learned to ignore idiots like Isaac, those two would have probably caused a disaster on a whim".


    Lilia then took out two pendants with different designs on them, one of them had a ck crystal with some runes engraved on it, while the runes were themonly used, they weren''t arranged to consolidate a spirit formation, the other one had the form of a red lotus, it was smaller but had apartment hidden inside of it.


    "Astrid and Ne, those are their names, as for who is who I will leave it to you to discover it", said Lilia, but inwardly she thought.


    ''I''m really hoping to see their reactions once they realize we are her, and of course I wonder how would those two react after seeing I found myself a partner… good luck darling~''.


    While at the Twin Sword valley everything was smiles and fun, at the other side of the Gtia star cluster, inside arge whose sky was illuminated by countless of stars, more urately in a pce at the center of it, a man was sitting in a throne alone in a room, going through some scrolls with different news and information.


    When someone barged in, and kneeled in front of the man.


    "My lord, the list ispleted and we have gathered whatever was possible about what you asked, please review it and tell us your decision".


    The man snapped his fingers and the scroll the neer brought flew towards him, the man quickly read through it until he found something that caught his attention.


    "Pass down my decree, prepare to pay a visit to the Myriad upation sect in two days, we can''t absolutely fail or I would personally see some heads roll", the voice of the man was calm but it brought a sense of authority and power enough to make the room tremble, even when he wasn''t using any spirit energy or pressure of any kind.
