Flying Lantern Festival

I knew I had a limited amount of time before the falcon reaches Landon in the Giants realm. By the look of things, Landon should be in the human realm in a week from now after coming across my message and that's also if the bird gets to him within the three days period I had predicted.

And so before Landon contacts me back , I've decided it was time I made the right decision for me and my family.

I had to go back home to make some few things clear to my head and my heart. I have to make the big decision today of either sending her off or allowing her to stay with me.

My heart wants her but my head keeps reminding me of the ceaseless nights I've heard her crying in her room. I love her so much but I'd hate to keep a woman faking her smile to me every day just to please me. I've been ignorant towards her pain. No that's not it, I've been selfish about the way I've been treating her. I knew she wasn't happy but still I chose to ignore it. I won't do that anymore.

I'm gonna have to make things right for both of us. Although all three girls recently came to my dad's mansion just yesterday, they were really sad to know I was leaving them once more so soon. I had initially intended on bringing them along with me but my mom really wanted to spend a few days with the girls.

And so with that, I decided to use that opportunity to inform the girls of my desire to have them spend a few days with my parents in the form of an holiday. Though they were against it at first but I had no choice but to promise never to leave their side again once I'm done with all the necessary things that needs to be done. This also includes the issues that has to do with the Emperor

Speaking of holidays, tonight will mark the date of a festival that occurs every year. It's called the flying lantern festival. It is a day meant to mourn about the billions of human soldiers that died during the war. It's the little we can do to remember all those that lost their lives going to war or those who were inadvertently made to be victims of war.

Since I've spent this type of festive holiday together so many times with the girls, I believe having a new experience of the holiday with my parents would help them understand how other people spend the festive period in their houses.

After saying my goodbyes to the girls, I headed to a place to get some things done first. After all, this was the Crimson blood City. It is the largest City within the borders of the Rosswell Empire and it's the home of the merchant and fashion guilds.

The total number of guilds in the human realm were nine. The adventurer, assassin, armor, bandit, fashion, merchant, potion, spell casting and weapon guilds. With their being five cities, the locations of all nine guilds were divided within four cities. With the Green Emerald City were Dante's mansion was located being the only city without a guild.

With my business in the Crimson blood City approaching it's culmination, I headed straight back home using the flying chariot I had taken from my dad's mansion. With six black Pegasus pulling the chariot I was in, I had returned back home within twelve hours.

*Knock* *Knock*

*Door opens*

"Good evening and welcome back young master, ". Deena who was dressed in her usual French maid apparel bowed deeply before me.

"Evening Deena, " I replied back but as I looked into her eyes, I could see her face were a little puffy around the eyes. This meant she was recently asleep and most likely crying also.

"Deena, please get dressed. We'll be going out very soon," I said as I head back to the chariot without affording her any chance to ask questions.

After a few minutes, she hurried towards the chariot before we both headed out. With our destination not been too far from the mansion, we spent less time in arriving there. We were currently in front of a boutique right now.

"Young master? Why are we here?"

"The flying lantern festival starts tonight and so I thought getting you something decent to wear would be a way of showing my gratitude for all you've done for me.," I said as I smiled at her.

"But young master, you've done... " Seeing that Deena was about to say things about not needing to wear decent clothings, I grabbed hold of her hand as I urged her to come along with me.

"Come on Deena, it's getting late. Let's get what we need and leave as soon as possible,".

We were in the evening, so it won't take long before everywhere becomes dark and there's a high probability it rains tonight. As long as it rains quickly, I doubt it would affect the festival which usually occurs during midnight.

We entered into the boutique and I gave the shop keeper several gold coins to choose the most elegant and alluring dresses for Deena to wear. Deena was dumbfounded by how she would have to wear so many luxurious clothing.

Among the panoply of dresses now in her disposal, there was a red seductive bodycon dress which had layers of knitted tape that hug the curves of all her body in all the right places. Aside from that, there was also a strapless black dress. This one was my personal favorite when the shop keeper brought Deena out while dressed in the apparel.

I love this dress due to the lack of sleeves and straps on the dress, so the dress could only fit her body by relying on her contours as it sits just above her heavy double D cup busts while allowing me to enjoy a non-stop fan service.

"Do you like it?" Noticing that she has yielded in allowing me to do as I want, i decided to ask her. Deena couldn't believe the amount of dresses she now had in her disposal. To her, she may not understand why I'm doing this but after noticing my resolve in making sure she has high quality apparels she decided to accept them all and be grateful in return.

"Yes, young master," Deena replied with her cheeks as rosy as it always was whenever she was bashful.
