Chương 356: Chapter 339. Back Home, But Hot And Heavy

Sarah Ericsson's Point Of View /Thump! /" Well, that wasn't so bad, I guess." John looked at his hands as the Portal behind us closed. We just left Paradise and arrived back to my childhood home, the Royal Palace of Blackstone. Even though it's been around a year since I've been here, not much had changed. We landed in my Father's office. The smell of the old books on the walls and the smell of the fireplace was all the same.

I looked at John and saw that he was quite happy, I looked to him and asked the most important question." So, how much mana did it take?" He looked at me and took a deep breath before speaking." 25%! I'm running at about 75% right now. We can do this. So, this is what Advancement is like?"" It's a good feeling, isn't it?"" It feels like all of the training is worth it... Or should I say all of the pain had a silver lining?"" I don't know about that, I was hurt pretty badly, you know?

Are you saying that it was worth it?" I meant to only tease him and make him show me a funny reaction, but instead he decided to surprise me. His face changed to a look of seriousness I've only seen him make whenever he's talked about the Future and Our Children. As he turned to me, I was absorbed by the look in his eyes." That will never be worth it to me, you or Anna being hurt, never." excitement!" Hnn..."

"?" I almost let myself squeal and ruin the moment, he's just so handsome! Unfortunately, I couldn't stop myself fully. A strange noise still came out of my mouth and it caused him to look at me with a look of concern, he's wondering if I'm okay now. Oh, that look... I can't help myself... Wrap! Tighten! I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him into my chest for a hug, he surrenders himself to me willingly... I can't stop myself! I take my hands from the back of his head and raise his face towards mine."

Sarah, this might not be the bes-" Kiss! Sometimes I wish that he wouldn't be so uptight about when or where we were, but then it wouldn't be as fun to claim his lips and interrupt his protests. Besides, as soon as our lips touch, he begins to see things my way anyways. Release!" Wah!"" You can't expect me not to pounce if you say something like that to me. For what's it's worth as well, John, no acquired abilities would ever be worth you being hurt to us as well."

He listened to my words and placed his hand on mine before he responded to me." I know, Sarah, I know."" And I know as well. So can we go to Father and Mother now?"" Huh?"" Did you need to interrupt us, Cyn?"" Considering how you are with him, yes, otherwise I'd need to tell Father to have his office deep cleaned before using it again."" Cynthia!? No... I wouldn't do something like that in Warrick's office!"" Judging by the fact she was about to move her hands further down, I'd doubt that.

Don't we need to meet the Darkheim Royal Family today?" I could tell from the feeling of the air in the room that Cyn's been here since we've arrived, but she kept hiding, I figured she would just stay there, but I guess we went a little too far for her taste. She might have said that I was going to go farther, but honestly, I wasn't going to become intimate with John here... We'd take too long and he'd be too embarrassed when we see my Parents shortly afterwards.

But did she have to interrupt before I got a second kiss before we left?" Ah... Yes! We do! That's why I'm here, I'm going to bring your parents back with us to speak to the Nyx Royal Family!"" Just my Parents?" Ah... I see... The Winter Holiday should be going on for another 2 or 3 weeks, shouldn't it? He's confused. Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation." John, if I give you some mana, you should be able to bring her with us, right?"" I'll pass out though?""

Then I'll just have to give you some of my mana, won't I?" Maybe I should thank her after all? He looked back and forth at Cyn and me. He may not be able to see it, but Cyn really wants to come. He spoke to her when he handed in that paperwork, I could tell from his recounting that she definitely wants to get closer to him. Her letters to me have explained how much work she's put into her schoolwork and her Practical Skills, so I figure she should have a reward or 2, I'm a Good Sister after all.

John seemed a bit worried about the mana loss, but we should be fine, his Mana Capacity and Quality has grown, but my Advancement Level is Expert, just like Anna. The amount of mana we'll give will just be a little bit more compared to when his mana was only at the Beginner Mage. John sighed and then he nodded his head." Fine, just wake me up quick, okay?"" How scandalous, asking me to kiss you in front of so many people..." Wrap! I hugged him again.

Ah, the day he stops being embarrassed about my touching him in front of people is going to be a sad one." Yay! Let's go to Mommy and Daddy then! Ah!" She finally cracked... I couldn't help but smile at her as she covered her mouth with her hands." Mommy and... Daddy?" John looked confused for a moment. I moved from my current position and shifted to behind him while I rested my head on his shoulder as I wrapped my hands around his stomach. Struggle... Tighten..."

That's how Cyn used to call our Parents when she was younger. When I went off to the Academy, she thought she had to start growing up, so she started to call Mother and Father like I do. Now she only calls them that when she's excited." John tried to wrestle my grip because he was feeling shy in front of Cyn, but a Demon can easily overpower a Human, and as for us even a newly made High Paladin is nothing more than a struggling child to me because of my 2 Jobs working in tandem with each other." Sarah!""

Relax, Cyn, it's cute." squeeze... She tried to protest my explanation, but why bother? It's cute after all! Just like his struggles to appear "proper" in front of Cyn. It doesn't matter much anyways. Cyn would happily be doing something similar to him as well. I decided to squeeze a little harder as a punishment." Big Sis... You're acting quite differently..."" Hm?" As I was teasing John, Cyn seemed to make an observation after calming down. I just smiled at her... Until I heard his voice."

She gets worse when we're alone."" You have it tough, don't you, John?"" No. I Love her after all... It's just embarrassing that my Sister-In-Law's eyes are on us..." squeeze... I squeezed his stomach a little harder as I whispered in his ear in response to his answer." Maybe we should take a detour after all? I'm sure my room hasn't been changed since we left?" John closed his eyes, and I felt him channel his mana. Grip! Pull!" Ah!"" Okay! Let's go to Warrick and Aqua."" Tsk..." He began to walk away from me.

All I could do was click my tongue at not preparing for his Holy Mana Body. I promised to reflect on this later as I followed behind him as Cyn began to giggle to herself. We walked out of the room and John asked Cyn a question." Cynthia, where are Warrick and Aqua at?"" The Throne Room."" Okay, let's see if I remember how to get there." John joked around as he walked ahead of us." Is he mad?" Cynthia's voice echoed in my mind." Mother taught you her Spell, huh?"" Yes. But what about John?"" You can't tell, Cyn?

Fufufufu... He's just resisting his desire and trying to get his work done. I'm sure I'll be rewar...

"Punished" tonight because of what I did in front of you."" He... He punishes you?"" Oh, believe me, it's not a punishment to Anna or me. You'll understand in time, I'm sure. Maybe you should bring your School Uniform with you when we get you hitched?"" Ah!"" Huh?" It looks like my teasing was a bit too much for Cyn, she reacted with her real voice. John heard her as well." Relax, My Love. I just poked her is all. Her muscles have grown since the last time we've met."" You're feeling her muscles?""

It's important to check on my Little Sister's Growth, she's been working hard after all." John just shook his head as he opened the door to the Throne Room. Cyn's face was still red, but we all still walked into the Throne Room where my Father and Mother were sitting side by side." Marquess Matthew, welcome." There were Guards and Servants in the Throne Room.

Father has taken to calling him by his fake name in front of others, as John wished for him to do that, so as to keep his identity a secret and protect my Parents as well." Greetings, King Warrick, Queen Aqua. I believe you've called for transportation from me?"" Yes, I apologize, My Wife insisted."" I assumed so, Your Majesty." John walked up to the steps of the Throne and we both followed. John bowed and I followed suit, Cyn didn't, since she was still legally considered a Princess." Please, rise to your feet.

My Son-In-Law and Daughter shouldn't have to bow to me." John did as my Father instructed, I followed My Husband's lead, like a Proper Lady." The fact you can change from how you just were, to this, is amazing."" Thank you for the compliment, Cyn."" What's this about changing?" My Mother joined the conversation. I was surprised." I thought this could only work for 2 people to talk, Mom?"" Did you think that I've just been resting on my laurels while you were away?

I'm always finding new Spells or how to improve others. This Telepathy Spell can now host a conversation between 5 people! Praise me, Daughter!"" Mom, your eyes are sparkling too much, calm down." Mom's emotions were showing on her face. Thankfully, no one really noticed as John and my Father were speaking about a few things." Do you have any idea how long it took to workshop this Spell's improvement!? I had to let your Father handle all of the paperwork alone!" She acted like that was some major sacrifice...

But..." Doesn't Dad always do all of the paperwork though?" Cyn said the thing we were all thinking." Not alone though! I'm usually there to give him my perfect advice!"" Mom, stop shouting, your voice is in our head."" So... Ungrateful... How am I ever going to recover from the way My Children treat me?" At least she said that quietly... But something to recover with?" Actually, Mom.... I think I found a way to make our Alliance a success. It's thanks to the 1st Princess of Darkheim."" That Charlotte?""

No, she's the 2nd Princess. The 1st Princess is called Melissa, she's currently in Paradise, she visited along with the 1st Prince and their parents. I should thank her since she was able to ask a few questions that I couldn't as John's Wife. Lend me your ears both of you, I think we can finally think up a true strategy now." We spoke for a while, until my Father called for John to bring us back to Paradise. The fact that John passed out as soon as we arrived in Paradise was my chance to strike.

And the kiss for mana before we left wasn't so bad either!
