Chapter 408 Sigurd's Changes! A Mother's Warning!
Asura and the girls returned home, greeted by the heavily pregnant Ophelia, who now enjoyed the help of more maids than before. 'The atmosphere in the house feels different, although it feels positive it's strange...'
Most of them were beautiful but seemed a little strange—however, Asura couldn't quite put his finger on what was different about them.
"Asura, would you mind helping me?" Ophelia asked with a gentle voice as she seemed to struggle to move well with her swollen stomach.
"Of course not, Mother, come here. Let me help you." The feelings he used to have long vanished. To him, although Ophelia didn't carry him in her womb. She was his mother, and Freyja was just a crazed woman who wanted to molest him.
"Mother-in-law, where should I place these?" Lucia and her several shadows carried various flowers and beautiful foliage. She helped arrange the entry and dining room, replacing the wilting and dead flowers with new ones.
"Mm~ my lovely son and his cute girlfriend are so good to me. Fufu~ I cannot wait for this little one to be born and to meet you both."
"Me either. I want to spoil and teach her so many things." Asura reflectively answered while helping Ophelia sit in her elevated chair with supportive cushions.
'It feels like dad is super worried something might happen and seems to have bought into several traders' tricks and items... Though seeing mother's radiant face makes it worth it.'
"Mother-in-law, I have finished helping with dinner. Is there anything more I can help with?" Helliana wore a lovely black maid outfit and seemed to compete with Lucia. Each of them served Asura's mother like a queen.
"Fufu~ such wonderful women, Asura. You must never make them cry!"
Asura felt that if his mother wasn't so kind, these two would be exhausted by now. Yet his mother would only ask for minor tasks or things that were just slightly difficult instead of abusing their goodwill.
The entire mansion felt full of excitement and delight before a sudden sound, like a dragon's roar or a bull crashing through a wooden door, echoed throughout the living room as the tapping of feet resounded and approached them.
"Hmm?"
"Oh my~ she finally seems to have heard, fufu." Ophelia giggled while placing a hand on her right cheek and looking at Asura with an amused smirk.
"Who is it?" Helliana asked, while placing some cakes on the table, for Noir, who was colouring something in her book with a plate of half-eaten cookies.
"ASURA!" A lovely yet husky voice sounded as a silver flash shot past Lucia and Helliana before smashing into Asura like a shooting star; he could only feel a soft pair of hands wrapping around his back tightly as a soft face buried itself in his neck. "You're back!"
"Ugh..." The force behind the hug was surprisingly strong and almost caused him to stagger as he caught the figure in his arms.
Sigurd, the kingdom of Silvara's sword saintess... yet her beautiful face now, sniffed and kissed Asura's neck while speaking with a lovely feminine tone, shocked the three people who hadn't seen her in months.
"Huh?!" Helliana, Lucia, and Asura gasped, all staring at the beautiful girl who wore a cute white dress that showed off her legs and shoulders. Her large breasts were supported by a thin, lacy, and somewhat transparent fabric, while her waist and hips were perfectly outlined, not to mention her perfectly sculpted abs that pressed against Asura's stomach.
'This... who is this?!' Asura felt shocked at how cute and feminine Sigurd was acting. He thought someone kidnapped the real sword saintess, yet he felt her heart thump violently against his chest, her lips trembling as she kissed his neck and cheeks, while his mind became blank for a moment.
'What? What's wrong with me?!'
He felt his heart throbbing uncontrollably in his chest and his mind repeating the same thoughts, almost as if he were about to go mad. It was so shocking and abrupt, causing a burning sensation to rush from the pit of his stomach, but before he could react.
"Yes... please, my love..."
"Come on, let's get you cleaned up and changed. Although I want to stay here and kiss you, Mother seemed to want to enjoy a light meal together, and now we can eat together."
"Nn," Sigurd replied, her face bright and happy as she nodded her head.
Asura pulled her into his chest and walked back to the dining room, where the others were waiting for them.
"Fufu~, my older sisters are all so lovely," Noir said, having finished her drawing.
The drawing was quite poor, but in the image Lucia, Sigurd, Mu Xue, Helliana and then the two arachne princesses were included, with Noir and Asura in the centre.
"Wow, Noir! This is such an amazing drawing." Ophelia complimented as she picked up her pseudo-daughter and hugged her, looking at the picture.
"Fufu~, Noir's drawing is so adorable, Asura~," Lucia said as she placed the last set of plates at the table, looking at Asura, who held Sigurd's hand and sat beside her, the saintess looking nothing like she sounded in rumours, now a complete lady and maiden who leaned on Asura's shoulder with a gentle smile.
"This is the first time I have seen you draw, Noir. It's amazing. I can't wait for you to teach me, okay?" Asura said, causing her to smile even brighter.
"Yup~, Daddy."
"So, how is the academy going, Asura?" Ophelia asked as lunch was served, with the family sitting down shortly after the maids served the food and drinks. However, Garret wouldn't be coming back yet, which made Asura a little disappointed. 'Father is still so busy... I need to finish quickly to support him.'
"It is going great. My teacher has changed because of her becoming pregnant. So the new one is a bit strange, but I've learned a lot from them already. Although, I've been given a task by the queen, which I am working on with the girls."
"Oh~? A task? I see... but didn't you get the previous teacher pregnant, right? I can't believe you even made that Lorem fall... and bear your child.
It's shocking how high-level your women are, my dear son."
"I guess..." Asura had a bitter smile on his face, feeling that his mother's perception of him was a little twisted.
"Well, don't worry too much about it, my dear son. Even if you had a million wives, I wouldn't mind, as long as you love them properly and don't let them become lonely, like Sigurd! Or else I will punish you myself." Ophelia's words caused him to sweat. Although he started trying harder to be the man they all deserved, he couldn't deny he could do more.
"I understand..."
"Good~, you should know that a woman's heart is very fragile but also extremely complex. So, you must treasure them, or else... I will be very disappointed."
"I will try..."
"Try? Hmm..."
"No, I will make sure they all feel safe and loved by me." Asura corrected, not wanting to disappoint his mother.
"Good! Make sure you make lots of babies for me to enjoy being a grandmother too, Fufu."
