"How is the water here, Raphael?"


    "It is okay, Mom. It is as warm as ours, perfect for refreshing my body after all the hard workst night til dawn."


    The next day, Mom, Mother, Gabrielle, and I were at the bathing area of our imperial estate, dipping our tired bodies into the water to revitalize our bodies from the fatigue due to the intensity of our intimacy that we got after a lovely and vigorous foursomest night.


    The area was not as huge as our bathhouse, but it was spacious enough for the four of us and was equipped with various magical articles, such as the lion fountain, like at home. That fountain was manufactured by the Raeven Company, by the way.


    And speaking of the Raeven...


    "It has been so long since Ist saw Sophia." I pondered before grabbing the soft waists of Mom and Mother, which were ironic with their true stats. "I cannot wait to see her again and reintroduce you two to her as my women."


    "Is your fiancee really fine with that?" Asked Gabrielle, who was beside Mother. "It is cheating and incest, you know?"


    "I actually don''t know, but they had permitted me to strengthen my bonds with my two mothers. She might be forcing herself to ept my desires because that is what I wanted and to prove herself to me."


    "So what if she were to oppose your wishes?" Mother asked. "Will you continue to pursue us?"


    "If that''s what she really wants, I might have stopped pushing myself with you and woken up to the reality that an incestious rtionship between a parent and a child is absolute nonsense, just a mere fantasy of a degenerate being. I am very sorry, mothers, but I truly care about her well-being, so I would prioritize her first if that happened."


    If she were not to permit my rtionship with Mom and Mother, as a man, I would stay loyal toward my woman and stop seeing them as women anymore. I did not want her to feel pain because of me; following her will would be the best thing I could do.


    "Raphael really does love Sophia so much, huh?"


    "I sure do." But do not worry, Mom," I said, and then I put my head on her shoulder. "Whether it is familial or romantic, I will love you no matter what."


    "Oh, my sweet Raphael."


    Mom then gave me a tight embrace after she said that; her ample breasts were pressing me, so I was feeling utter bliss at that time. As Mom cuddled me, Mother joined in and wrapped her arms around us.


    "Of course, I absolutely cannot forget to love Mother too."


    The three of us snuggled as the majority of our bodies were dipped into the warm water, Gabrielle just watched us as we were having our family time. Their warmth might be making me cozy, but I still remembered what we would do after this refreshment.


    "I know it is regretful, but we have to stop now so that we can visit Sophia as early as possible."


    "Aw..." Mom and Mother got dismayed upon hearing that.


    "But we can have the continuation tonight, can we?"


    "Ohh!" Both of them awed with gleaming eyes, and then Mother stood up with her knuckles on the sides of her hips. "What are we waiting for? Let''s get out of here already!"


    After her proactive deration, we exited the bath so that we could get dressed in our own rooms.


    ◆◇◆◇◆◇


    "Here we are."


    After we consumed our breakfast, the four of us rode a carriage and traveled to our destination by tracking the streets of the noble district of the Imperial Capital. By the way, Mary was left behind to tend our estate. In just a few minutes, we were dropped off in the front yard of the manor of the Raeven family.


    "Good morning, everyone! Wee to our residence."


    "Hello there. Long time no see, Mark."


    As soon as everyone stepped on the pavement, we were happily weed by a handsome young man. He had blonde hair, was tall and slender physically, and most of all, he had radiating charisma. The one who received us was none other than Mark, one of my cousins and the brother of my fiancee.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "We haven''t seen each other for more than a year, so long time no see to you, Raphael. And you seemed to have gotten taller thest time I saw you."


    "Thank you." I appreciated him as we shook hands. "You too, Mark, have gotten taller as well."


    "You think so?"


    "Really. I looked like a kidpared to you."


    Mark was already tall thest time we met, probably around five feet ten or eleven. But now, puberty has hit him so hard that he has grown up to six feet three in just more than a year.


    Because of his development, his personal charm skyrocketed as well. In addition to his wealth, I would not be surprised if there were many girls chasing him.


    He could take multiple spouses since he could financially support them, but he chose not to since he was loyal to her betrothed, the woman who was standing behind him right now.


    "First time seeing you. You must be Melissa."


    "I am very d to finally meet you." She said that as she gave us a gracious bow. "As well as meeting the members of the renowned Raevender family."


    "You are such a nice girl, Melissa." Mom said. "Nice to meet you."


    "It is an honor to beplimented by the Sage herself."


    Thedy who greeted us was Mark''s fiancee, Melissa Baume. Melissa was a twenty year old young woman with aubergine hair and amber eyes.


    She was apparently the daughter of the baronial family of Baume in the empire. From what I had heard, Melissa was a junior of Mark in the academy, where they met and fell in love with each other.


    "Well, there was a letter that we received yesterday." Mark uttered it after we had finished shaking. "It was all about the engagement of Lady ire and Lady Mylene with someone, and it seems to be true."


    As he said that, he turned his gaze to the unknown woman in his eyes, Gabrielle. To respond to his statement, Mother locked her arm with Gabrielle''s and proudly dered: "That information is right, Mark. We are indeed engaged to Gabrielle."


    "Oh, really. Congrattions, then. Best wishes!"


    "Thank you, Mark."


    "It seems like you will be having three mothers, Raphael."


    "Yeah, it is." I said that and then changed the topic. "Anyway, is Sophia inside? And how''s she been doingtely?"


    "Yes, she is. She has been doing well as well. But she said she had been missing you, so there were asions that she was feeling lonely."


    "Thank you for telling me."


    Sophia was well aware that I had been making out with my women since I had sent her updates. So it was totally understandable that she was feeling mncholic as she read my immoral deeds.


    I knew that Sophia was a strong person; it ran through her blood, so I was sure that she could overwhelm her sadness and rise up on her own two feet. But I did not want her to do that alone, so I would try my best to help her as well.


    "Anyway, it has been colder as the day passes. So how about we get inside?"


    "Thank you, Mark. I will be in your care."


    After that, we entered the mansion and were guided inside by Mark and Melissa.
