Back

The first thing that greeted Aegis was white.

More precisely, a white hair in his face and pressuring weight on his chest as he heard faint breathing under his chin.

Aegis stayed silent as he gave a gentle nod and warm smile to his family who waited on him at their private airport, Everyone was there to welcome him, Cinder, Salem, and Harriet back home.

Harriet immediately shot to hug his mother Willow and Winter, who returned the hug with familial love.

"Welcome back..."

Whisperingly said Weiss who raised her head and looked into Aegis eyes, and as their almost identical blue eyes met, Aegis knew he wasn't alone in pain to be for even such a short time away from them these eyes he looked into...

-------------------

In the end, they changed the cold airport environment into one more familiar and pleasurable and found themselves in the family living room with couches and so fluffy and warm carpets that made a lot of girls choose to sit on them rather than sit on sofas or chairs.

Aegis found himself in almost nostalgia sitting on an enormous bean bag with Neo behind his back as she pressed her breast against him, Pyrrha on his left with his arm around her torso and her head supporting against his shoulder, Nora on his right side with his right hand between her already big breast and smile jovial smile, and finally, with Weiss on his lap with her head against his chest, Aegis once again found himself in position from which he couldn't move even muscle as the girls seemed to fall asleep...

"I see they really missed their life pilar back."

Winter said as she carefully bent herself enough to give Aegis a kiss on the lips.

"And it seems someone missed them too."

Winter said with a smile as she looked down where Weiss sat on Aegis lap, with good enough view to see Aegis member pressing against Weiss panties.

Aegis just smiled.

"I missed you too."

"Oh, I know, and I fully plan to show you my feelings to you in private, but for now I can see you being occupied enough with these four girls that really missed you..."

"Winter..."

"...No, let me speak Aegis, I was never the most emotional person, or sibling, or daughter... But even I can see that they suffered because you were away... Look, I don't say you shouldn't go to take care of some more pressing matters in future, you are King, it is your duty, but..."

"No, Winter... I know..."

Aegis said as he looked at the girl in his lap that seemed even in sleep to wish to be connected with him as he felt her panties starting getting wet from rubbing against his member.

"And, I will never again go away for longer than three days... Even two already would by bad, yes... You are right, im King, but before that im your Man, this entire kingdom business was just for me to build a healthy and safe environment for you all, but how could I do it, knowing you are hurting? No..."

Aegis said and Winter just warmly smiled...

"Good answer... And little brother, you should speak with mother."

"Yes, I should..."

Aegis said as Winter gave him one last kiss on the lips and silently walked away, letting Aegis and the four girls alone, as he knew his older sister belonged to the ones who were in pain because of his absence...

----------------------------

"That's a new one."

"Yea... But still not enough..."

Ciri just smiled at Harriet who after coming back asked for a duel.

"Don't take it too hard, Harriet, you are a good fighter, no I would say that in our age category or even in the elder one, you are one of the best, but you still lack something any true fighter need to have."

Ciri said and Harriet nodded for her to continue.

"You see, one of the things the true fighter shouldn't ever lack is the will."

"Will?"

"Will to take life... Why do you think Aegis is soo good? Look at him when he fights others who belong to the Schnee family, look into his eyes the eyes of the killer."

Ciri said as she made moves with her silver-iron sword that was infused with electric, fire and earth Dust.

"Same goes for others too, even Pyrrha has one, albeit weak, but where Pyrrha lack the will to end life, she compensates it with the battle lust that seems to sometimes take control of her, making her make mistakes as instincts aren't all you should use in the fight."

"I see... I lack will?..."

Ciri looked at Harriet with a gentle smile as she herself could remember when she gained her own will to end life when she was young hurting even rabbit was horrible for her, but that sentiment was beaten out of her through the hard witcher training on Kaer Morhen...

"You know what, why don't we celebrate your return with a camping trip in the woods? Just you, Me, Pyrrha, Nora, Blake, Velvet, and some others?."

Others who needed to go through bloodying rituals, thought Ciri for herself.

"I see you not mentioning Weiss or Neo."

Harriet said and Ciri nodded.

"Yes, because these two don't need something they have ample of which."

Ciri said as Weiss was a remorseless little monster, Ciri loved her as sister, but she wasn't blind to Weiss mindset, and Neo was a psycho combined with enormous sadistic tendencies, which normally led her to create games of mouse and cat, in which Neo hunted her targets as cat hunted and played with her meal...

And there was no need to speak about Winter, Cinder, or Emerald who lived on the streets, Winter was in military academy and Cinder was Cinder...

"I really don't want to go away so shortly after my return..."

"Who says we go somewhere far away? The best place for this would be the Schnee private forest, safe from any outside danger and close enough for Aegis to not worry about us."

"That could work..."

Harriet said and Ciri nodded with her head, maybe she could make them true fighters, and if she were to use some techniques from witcher school, so what? They weren't there to stop her from making her family stronger...

-------------------

"What are you looking at, kid?"

Krul's eyebrow twitched in a fury on the words of some blonde mortal from some team named NDGO, whose name she wasn't interested enough to remember.

"How do you dare to speak li-"

"Shut the fuck up, you bloodsucker."

Said red-haired teen with a smile as she played with a dagger.

"The sole reason you still breathing is thanks to walls that have eyes, but even they wouldn't stop me from ripping your throat out if you continue."

"I would like to see that, but sorry im, not pedo, or on girls, for that matter, chibi."

"YOU-"

"BEEB BEEEB BEEEB, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM ANY HOSTILE ACTIONS."

Sounded alarmed as Krul was about to lounge for the blonde worm who just smiled at her.

"You see, My name is Dew, Dew Gayl, and I like to piss of bitches like you who think they are better than other's just because of their race."

The dirty blonde-haired and violet-eyed girl in a green outfit with gold accessories said with a smirk at the seething vampire.

In truth miss, Sienna asked them if they could see how big a patience threshold the vampires had, and Dew with her team said they would gladly help in curbing someone's sense of superiority.

Of course, knowing there were Sentinel captains just behind the doors to stop Krul if she went berserk was helping their hidden nerves a lot, as they could feel the predatory glance from the ancient vampire.

Dew sighed, what she and her team wouldn't do for better lives, and what was better than to be tied to the most powerful man on Remnant, it was plus that he was handsome and kind to his women, which made the girls in NDGO decision to do everything to join the winning side even more resolute.

Sienna looked at all of it from the observatory room, even if the four vampires belonged to her hubby, she wasn't stupid enough to let herself forget just how dangerous this vampire race was, and with how emotional they were, Sienna needed candidates who would try them and were strong enough to hold themselves alive until the captains swarmed the room and put Krul and her three girls down.

No, until Sienna wasn't sure these blook-sucking beauties were safe to let roam free, she would take her sweet time to look after them.

---------------------

"Hmm, so this is my new laboratory? Not bad, not bad at all..."

Merlin said as she walked into the pristine room where she would in the near future work and play with her magic, plus Merlin heard that Album was working on the entire world biggest library, with true hard paper copies, Merlin already could see how spirits of knowledge would swarm that place and make it into their homes...

-------------------

Morgana looked around the big underground room with all equipment a wizard, witch, alchemist, scientist, and any person who pursued knowledge would be more than satisfied...

"This will do."

----------------------

Deep under Schnee's mansion in one of the most secured rooms, five crystals that housed five women seemed to gain more vibrant colors as they sucked the magic that was hidden inside the Dust crystals that lay beneath the crystals as if they appeared to be left there to nurture them...
