Chapter 59
Chapter 59: Let’s fight
For a moment, Alex saw Stella in a holy light. Was it just his imagination, or the lady had used one of her skills? He couldn’t tell. He didn’t feel like thinking about it.
Once again, the goddess appeared before him. That smiling goddess simply told him to not care about anyone but just her.
Alex wasn’t prepared for that smile at all. Who would be ready for that, knowing about Stella’s laziness?
But that smile was so influential that Alex promptly stood up.
He gave her a head pat that Stella liked.
“Heroes die young, right?” Alex smiled.
Stella didn’t move. Her eyes were closed as she was focused on something else.
After giving enough head pats, Alex took off his clothes. He then took Stella into a princess carry, going toward the bathroom with her in his arms.
He whispered, “I was so much bothered that I had been thinking like a hero from some fairy tale. I was so arrogant that I thought I could save everyone… And that’s not the case.
As I promised to take care of The Lost Kingdom, I will do it. I can leave the safety of other ordinary people to their kings, queens, and who else rules over people,” Alex smiled.
At last, the duo landed in the bathtub.
Once again, the princess’ bathroom turned out to be a big pool. Alex and Stella had so much room that they wouldn’t need to worry about their privacy.
But they were close, and their shoulders stuck together as they enjoyed the warm water.
“It turns out that I am pretty demanding too,” Alex laughed; his cheeks were redder.
Stella didn’t reply; her eyes were closed.
He talked a lot because he was in a pretty embarrassing situation. It was Alex’s first contact with a woman in the bath. No, it was the first contact where he and the other gender were utterly naked.
He held her, felt her, and saw more than he should.
He saw the white bush, for example.
Thus, Alex talked for a better mood. He also felt like it was an important talk.
“I will make sure you take care of yourself alone, Stella. Other than that, I will impose cleaning the room and exercising too. You also have to eat with everyone. I genuinely believe it will help you and your sisters,” Alex carried on with his talk.
Stella listened in silence.
“I don’t think that it’s too much, you know? Well, I will also work hard so that you can have some more motivation. And then, our hard work will bloom in the upcoming battles and events,” Alex smiled brightly.
At last, Alex grasped the sponge. In another world, the baths were quite odd. There were many magic stones in the system.
Nonetheless, it was still easy to wash others.
“Face me,” Alex slowly whispered.
That day, he once again felt more than he should. Regardless, it was a valuable and enjoyable experience he would never forget.
It was so valuable that Alex reassured Stella he would wash her again after the battle against the hungry demons.
Stella was naturally happy with that.
Her husband finally started taking care of her! How could she be not happy?
After the bath, Stella also received her present.
“It’s a super epic soft pillow straight from the forest fairies’ shop! It’s natural and has quite comfortable options.” Alex lifted the pillow, grinning like a kid.
He put it on Stella’s emperor bed, then patted it a few times.
Stella laid down her head on the pillow, then closed her eyes.
She let out happy winged woman noises.
“Is it that good?” Alex whispered.
Stella opened her eyes, inviting Alex to sleep next to her.
Alas, her wings were on the pillow, making it hard for Alex to try it with her.
Stella narrowed her eyes, “Wings. Soft.”
“I guess that’s the permission,” Alex laughed and laid himself on Stella’s wings.
He closed his eyes and took a nap in the blink of an eye.
An hour later, Alex woke up with Stella’s head lying on his chest. In her sleep, she had unconsciously turned to the side.
And since Alex knew the pillows’ options, he secretly took it back to his inventory. He then put it on his hair and waited a few seconds.
[Super Epic Soft Pillow has absorbed your scent.]
“Now, you will have me every night,” Alex whispered while stroking Stella’s hair.
He believed he liked his scent since she preferred to sleep on him instead.
After a while, he slipped out.
Alex noticed that the system had a few messages prepared for him.
[Your relationship with Stella Deathwill has increased.]
[Stella Deathwill has wholly opened her heart to you.]
[Both of you have developed an affection toward each other.]
[Stella Deathwill will never share your secrets, even if brainwashed or mind-controlled.]
“You are so strong, Stella,” Alex couldn’t help but whisper.
He then blushed at the system messages. His progress with two sisters was so significant Alex recalled the words from an annoying villain.
But the history between them, the circumstances, and so on were so unique that Alex didn’t bother himself with Dollar’s thoughts. He also believed his heart was genuine, even if it was the game.
‘I wonder how Sara and Schnee’s talk went… They should be over it already…’ Alex pondered inwardly.
He hoped that everyone would cooperate in the Deathwill Castle!
On his way, Alex met Schnee and Sara.
They were also going toward his location.
Schnee’s little nose twitched, then she tilted her head with a sneer, “I guess the side-effects of my charm skill no longer affect anyone in this castle.”
After Schnee glanced at Sara with narrowed eyes, the dullahan momma faintly blushed and reciprocated the gaze.
They stared into each other, then two pairs of mesmerizing eyes landed on Alex.
He smiled, “I haven’t forgotten about you, Schnee. Here’s your present. If you need help putting them on, then call me. I got some experience with Stella already.”
“Hah,” Schnee laughed out loud.
She then opened the bag and looked over the sexy pajamas, “You got good taste.”
“So you will help us, will you?” Sara sighed with relief; her eyes were back to Schnee.
Alex tilted his head, “Wait… Don’t tell me she made such a stupid request?”
Schnee replied in Sara’s stead, “Cats are too fickle.” She let out kitty noises, then flicked the sexy pajamas to her inventory, “With this, four of us will have some fun with the hungry demons. But since we’ve dealt with them already, we will have to search for them.”
“Searching alone will take a lot of time. We will also have to look out for the monsters,” Sara nodded.
Schnee clapped her hands merrily, “And so, we will start our little adventure tomorrow! Big sis, I want to spend time alone with him. I promise to not kill him.”
Sara squinted her eyes, leaving a warning, “Don’t do or say anything weird.” She then left them alone.
Then silence ensued. But if eye contact could let out a sound, it would be pretty buzzing as Alex and Schnee gazed deeply into each other’s eyes.
Then, Schnee lifted her chin, “Let’s fight.”
