Broken

As word about their emperor’s deeds was spreading throughout the kingdom and even outside of it from the mouth of his guards, Seth was trying to enjoy a cup of tea in his parents’ company.

Nash was staring at his son with an amazed look while Hilda was doing her best not to say anything about Seth’s deeds.

Their weekly time together was quite awkward, and Seth eventually excused himself after half a day, not wishing to be there when Hilda finally exploded.

With much of the day left, he teleported back down Tn the spring and pulled the girls out for fun.

At the beginning of the next week, Seth returned to his cultivation.

Slowly, Seth fell into a schedule. He cultivated for five days, only taking a break or two to spend time with one of his wives and check on Leora, which usually happened whenever Caitlin’s complaining would get too loud.
