Rest week

Two weeks have passed since Eris's birthday and things have been going great.

The biggest change would be my relationship with Ghislaine, who would come to my room almost daily to have sex only to be defeated in a single round by my cock.

Her attitude towards me is no longer so stoic since every time she sees me a smile forms on her face and her tail starts to wag rapidly.

Another important change that I would like to highlight would be with Lady Hilda, since that day she has shown herself to be much closer to me, even giving me very long kisses on the cheek and saying somewhat risqué things like "my uterus is a little itchy, I'd like someone to scratch it..."

Honestly, all of this always catches me off guard and I can only blame the system.

But today is fortunately different, as it marks another month of diligent work.

And that only meant one thing...

"You better get back! I have a lot to learn!" Eris said in her typical pose while looking at me with a frown.

"This isn't the first time we've done this. You know I'll be back," I said with a smile. "Also, make sure you review everything I've taught you so you don't forget."

"Hmm! I already know that! Don't you have to repeat it?!" She protested with a frown.

"Heh, then see you in a week" I said while stroking his head.

"Hey? What are you doing?" She asked confused but didn't move away.

*Ding!*

[She considers you her best friend]

"hmm..." I nodded in satisfaction as I climbed into the carriage.

Ghislaine was behind the girl and she just waved goodbye to me with a slight smile.

She pretended but she had told me the night before that she wanted a used pair of my underwear...

'Yeah, she'll be masturbating a lot to that...although I do it to Roxy's so I'm not complaining.'

"Have a good rest," Hilda said suddenly as she came to the carriage window to give me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Yes, thank you very much Lady Hilda" I said with a smile and the woman just blushed.

"Okay, see you in a week!" I said and so the carriage began to leave the Boreas Castle grounds.

Although I was honestly a little nervous, in my mother's most recent letter she expressed her desire to get pregnant again...

I don't know if I can do it this time considering the fact that Zenith was never very fertile as stupid as that may seem.

But who am I to refuse my mother's requests, right? Besides, I'm working for a reason!

But I still couldn't help but shudder at the idea.

In the end, I could only let out a sigh and sit in the carriage while I waited to reach my destination.

"Come on Aisha, open wide! That's great!" I said with a big smile as I watched my baby happily eat her porridge.

"You must eat quickly to be presentable when your father arrives, you don't want him to see you as a dirty little girl, do you?" I whispered softly and I swear I could see the fear in my little girl's eyes but quickly I discard that idea.

Looking to my left, Zenith was changing Norn's diaper and also had a little dress in her crib, both of us were not preparing for his arrival.

"Rudy..." His name escaped my lips in a longing tone that only made me sigh.

Lately I've been finding myself missing more and more each day, a week just isn't enough for me and it seems it isn't for Zenith either.

But it's all that bastard Paul's fault! If he had never left his job then Rudy wouldn't have to work to support us!!

"Haaa..." I let out another sigh, there's nothing to be gained by crying over broken dishes.

I am now a mother and wife to a wonderful man and I must behave accordingly.

On his last visit, Rudy told me not to dress up as a Maid inside the house just to go out, and that's what I do.

And in fact I have prepared some lingerie that I bought with Zenith, I take our bet very seriously and I also want to get pregnant... But even I can't help but feel that would put more pressure on Rudy...

"Lilia! Help me make lunch! Rudy shouldn't be long!" Zenith shouted from the kitchen, and I hurried over. After all, Rudy must be tired from traveling so much...

"Zenith..." I murmured lightly to the woman I've brought to see as a sister after all these years.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Are you worried about something?" She replied while cutting vegetables.

"Well yes and no... Do you think it's a good idea to get pregnant again?, I said almost in a whisper "I-I mean... Aren't we already demanding too much from Rudy? Don't you think that if we got pregnant he would work harder for us? My voice was full of concern and Zenith immediately froze in place.

"I-I hadn't...I hadn't thought about that..." She said as she lowered her head to the ground and clenched her fists.

"I-I hadn't thought of that!" Tears started to flow from her eyes like jugs and I immediately rushed to hug her.

"It's not your fault Zenith, you were just expressing your love for Rudy, right? I want another baby too, but it's something we have to consider," I said in a panic.

"No....uuuh...I-I was just thinking about me!...uuuh... I just miss him so much!" She said and started crying harder.

"Haa... I miss him too, Zenith... That's why we should consider his senses equally, he made such a difficult decision just because of our whims... "The best thing we can do is be the best wives we can be for Rudy," I said, my voice calming down a bit.

"y-yes...Y-you're right... We should also train Sylphie to be a good wife for Rudy, right?" She murmured with a smile and my cheeks blushed.

"I-I think it's a little early to make a decision like that, she's just a kid..."

"Oh please! You know how she gets at the mere mention of Rudy, and I'm sure she'll be here soon!" Zenith said, regaining her playful nature.

"Haa... If it's true, then we'll make sure she becomes the ideal woman for Rudy," I said and we both nodded.

"Mother-in-l-... Lady Zenith!, I've arrived!" Sylphie's voice echoed from the garden of the house.

"Speaking of the King of Millis..." Zenith said as he rushed to open the door and I watched from behind.

'I hope you arrive soon Rudy...'

[Rudeus Pov]

"Finally..." I muttered as Buena Village began to become visible from the carriage.

It had been 8 hours of endless pastures and the jolting of wooden wheels...

But finally I was home.

The first thing that greeted me was the sign that simply read "Buena Village" and the first house that could be seen was obviously mine...

Immediately when I was close enough, three figures came running out of my house directly towards the entrance and I couldn't help but smile at them.

My mother, Lilia and Sylphie... They were all here.

And the moment the carriage stopped and I got out, they rushed at me.

"Rudy!!!" The three of them shouted in unison as they hugged me tightly.

"Darling! I missed you so much!!! Have you been eating well?!"

"It's good to see you well, young master!"

"Rudy! (Sniff) Rudy!..."

The two women and the little girl hugged me tightly and I could only smile as I hugged them back.

The driver lowered my luggage without saying anything and left, so we went into the house.

"You must be hungry, right, Rudy?" My mother said as she forcibly separated herself from me and ran into the kitchen.

"If you want to take a bath, I can prepare it right away!"

"Rudy! What's Roa like? What's the castle like?!" The women kept bombarding me with questions and I could only sigh as I slowly raised a hand.

Immediately the three of them fell silent as they looked at me expectantly.

'Wow?... And that?'

*DING!*

[The master of the house always commands respect in his harem]

[[Head of Household Status Acquired]

I immediately raised an eyebrow at this but quickly focused on the situation at hand.

"First we'll eat, then I'll take a bath, and at the end we'll talk about everything that happened, okay?" I asked, and three more nodded quickly.

Sylphie sat next to me with an expectant expression and flushed cheeks so I simply smiled back and her little ears started to flick.

"What do you want to ask me, Sylphie?" I asked.

"W-well... I wanted to tell you that I-I've already mastered all the spells you've taught me..." She murmured.

"Oh?" He was genuinely surprised, that was a giant progress unlike her anime counterpart.

"And you keep increasing your mana reserves?" I asked.

"Y-Yes! B-but it's getting harder every day! Three weeks ago I had to destroy the entire local monster nest to even empty half of my reserves!" She responded with a pout that made her look adorable.

"Is that so? Then try making those holy rank spells smaller in size and destroying a single specific point, you'll see that it needs even more mana" I said.

Sylphie's ears perked up in curiosity before she nodded with a big smile.

Shortly after, Mom arrived with several plates of food. She had seated me at the head of the table, and the three women sat on either side of me and waited until I had eaten before they could begin to eat...

"So, Rudy? How have you been there? Are the Borras treating you well?" My mother asked in an anxious tone while looking at Sylphie out of the corner of her eye.

"Yes, especially Ghislaine, thanks to her I managed to reach the rank of Sword Saint as you know," I said.

"I see..." My mother replied almost in a whisper.

Lilia remained silent while eating but I could see that her cheeks were flushed.

"And how is she? I heard she's very strong!" Sylphie said excitedly, after all she was the only child here.

"Yes... You could say, she is from the beast race and her way of moving is... Sucking" I murmured while looking at my mother with a smile.

She quickly bit her lips as her cheeks flushed and she looked down.

"I hope she's not putting too much pressure on you, young master," Lilia said suddenly.

"There's no pressure. We do it daily for hours until we're both exhausted. I feel like your training is special."

"Oooh... Amazing..." Sylphie murmured, oblivious to what was happening.

"I-I see... W-well that's why you're coming for a week to rest, right?" My mother asked in an anxious tone.

"Yes, of course, and also because I miss my friends and family," I replied.

"Friends, huh?..." Sylphie muttered softly as she looked down and the smile on my mother's face turned mocking.

"Heh... That's good, after all little Sylphie was already missing you too much Rudy" my mother said in a mocking tone "after all you don't want to break her poor heart right?"

"m-miss Zenith!!" Sylphie squealed in embarrassment.

"Hehe, there's no need to hide it, dear, and I already told you to call me mother-in-law."

"uuuh...b-but..."

"Mom..." I said in a serious tone and she sat up straight immediately "we are still too young, I love Sylphie but it's not time yet"

"I see, sorry dear!" My mother replied while scratching her cheek slightly embarrassed.

"Y-you l-love me Rudy?!" Sylphie squealed even louder that I almost thought she would break the glass but I nodded seriously.

"uuuh..." She blushed heavily as her ears began to move up and down at high speed and a smile formed on her face.

"How cute!" My mother said tenderly and I could see Lilia's cheeks blushing as well.

"Haa... Mom, leave Sylphie alone, you'll make her faint." I sighed and they finally dropped the topic.

After eating, I took a bath, but fortunately neither of the two women came to accompany me; I was exhausted from the trip after all.

When I left Sylphie was still at the kitchen table and I noticed that she was reading the book I had given her.

"Sylphie, so you've already mastered all the spells in that book?" I asked with a smile.

"Yes... Although it was a little difficult, I was finally able to do it!" She replied excitedly.
