Chapter – 115 (A little bit of Warmth)

(*A/N: Here goes 1/3 chapter of this week. Please Enjoy.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ray of sun enters from the opened window and falls on the sleeping face of Ryuu. Ryuu starts to feel irritated at first then she opened her sleepy eyes. She separated Syr and Lunoire who are leaning on her. She then gets up and stretched her body to erase any laziness that is still present. As she was rubbing her eyes...

Primis: Morning.

Ryuu: ...

At first, Ryuu got stunned because she is not used to listening a male voice just after waking up. When she turned to look at owner of the voice, she fell into daze. After some time when Ryuu was still in daze, Primis speaks.

Primis: Seen enough?

Primis words wake Ryuu from her daze. After waking up she looks away to hide the blush that has appeared on her face. Primis is not surprised. When people wake up from their sleep their guard is low. In other time, Ryuu might have been able to stop herself from falling but not now.

Ryuu: *cough* G-Good Morning, Primis.

Primis: *nod*. Now wake the two behind you too. They are behaving like you.

At first Ryuu become confused. Then she looks behind. Behind her Lunoire and Syr have also wake up, but they are also looking at Primis in daze. Seeing this Ryuu lips twitched realizing what appearance she just showed to Primis. She then moved and stand in front of them, hiding the view. This action of hers wake them from their daze. They both also hurriedly look away to hide their embarrassment.

Primis: Alright, both of you wake up too.

Primis then started to caress both Chloe and Anya who are again using his lap as pillow. They both felt irritated when Primis started to wake them. Seeing that they both are not waking, a vein appears on Syr forehead. She already feels envious that Primis let them use his lap but now they have no intention of leaving it. She is not the only one. Even Ryuu and Lunoire are getting angry seeing these two lazy cats.

Syr: If you both don't wake up in a second then I will tell Mia that you both are slacking off last week.

Those words feel like someone has stepped on their tails. So, they hurriedly left Primis lap and stand up. Then they were greeted by the angry gaze of Syr, Lunoire and Ryuu. They both shivers and gulped seeing that.

'Chloe & Anya: We are in trouble, meow~'

Primis sigh inwardly seeing this and stands up. Then he put his hands on both of their heads again to calm them down. He then looks at Ryuu, Syr and Lunoire.

Primis: Alright, stop bullying them. They just wake up.

As if they find a lifeline, both hurriedly hides behind Primis. They then speak from their hiding place.

Chloe: Yes. Yes. You are bullying us, meow~

Anya: Yes. Yes. You are, meow~

Seeing this, their lips twitched even more. They then start cursing Primis in their mind.

'Ryuu, Syr & Lunoire: WE ARE BULLYING THEM? IT'S OBVIOUS THAT YOU ARE SPOILING THEM TOO MUCH.'

'Chloe: Ah~ I loved this feeling of being spoiled, meow~'

'Anya: So, this is feeling of being spoiled. I really loved this, meow~'

Sheng Ming speaks when she sees this confrontation.

{Sheng Ming: Hehe. Husband, they are feeling jealous since you are only spoiling these two cats and they feel left out.}

{Primis: I guess.}

Primis: Alright. That's enough. Soon it will be time for the opening. Do all you really want to be yelled out by Mia?

When Mia name was heard all of them straightened up. They then hurriedly left to freshen themselves. Primis just shakes his head and return to his chair. Lili and Haruhime also wake up from their sleep. They are now looking around the room since this is an unfamiliar place. As they were feeling confused, they heard Primis voice.

Primis: No need to panic. You both are at "Hostess of Fertility". Freshen up and get down for breakfast.

Both become happy when they heard his voice. It seems it was not a dream that Primis returned. So, they both hurriedly left the bed to freshen themselves. Primis then goes back to his thoughts.

'Primis: The commotion is going to spread soon.'

[Of course, it will. When trees as big as skyscrapers suddenly appeared in a Noble Mansion suddenly with everyone dead there. On top of that, Ophis has already erased that Lineage.]

Primis remain silent and closed his eyes. It may appear that he is resting but in truth he is using his Elemental Sight to go deeper and deeper into the understanding of his Lightning. He can see the Weiß lighting that is travelling inside him like electric current. In between he sometimes increases its speed sometimes decrease.

Primis loved to learn more about his skill. About how he can implement them in different ways in different situations. While Primis was concentrating on his lighting, Mia came down. When She saw Primis she walks towards him.

Mia: So, you already made your move. Huh.

Primis: I guess.

Mia nodded her head. When she wakes up, from her window she saw many big trees in a particular location. At first, she was wondering what is going then she realized what the location is. It is place where the Noble who is after Lili and Haruhime lives or used to live. There is only one person who will attack them. That is "The Black Swordsman".

Mia: I have a request.

Primis remain silent and let her continue.

Mia: I hope the little girls working here will be safe if something happens to me in future.

Primis: With me here, nothing will happen to them.

Mia: Thank You.

Mia bowed then walk towards the kitchen. Because her concentration was completely on Primis, she failed to realize that Syr, Lunoire, Ryuu, Chloe and Anya were hiding in the corner. And they heard her conversation with Primis. They have a downcast expression, and their eyes are moist. Primis knew that but remain silent. As Mia was walking towards kitchen, Primis speaks again.

Primis: Book a private room for me. I am expecting some guests today.

Mia: Ok.

Mia didn't ask what guests and left. Primis opened his eyes slightly and look at her direction.

'Primis: So, she senses the upcoming danger.'

[Yeah. Not that surprising since she was able to open this pub during the Dark Period of Orario. So, her danger instincts are shaper.]

'Primsi: ...…'

Primis remain silent. Sheng Ming holds his hand tightly and speaks.

{Sheng Ming: Husband. In the battle, that will happen one month from now. She will die, isn't she?}

{Primis: Yes.}

Primis answered with a single word. Sadness appears in Sheng Ming eyes. She then hugged Primis arm and put her head on his right-shoulder.

{Sheng Ming: It's too heart-breaking that we can't help them.}

{Primis: ...…*sight*. I know.}

He then breaks free from Sheng Ming grasp and hold her shoulder instead. Sheng Ming is now feeling even more comfortably. Primis also lean down and put his head on Sheng Ming's head. To get her and give her warmth. Then he suddenly felt a hug from his left. He didn't raise his head, just turn his eyes there. He saw that Ophis is hugging him from his left. She is in her adult form. Primis only smiled and then hide even his presence. He wants to enjoy their warmth bit more, so he hugged both tightly.

(*A/N: I try to upload the image of Adult Ophis but I just keeps failing. Only I was able to see that if someone else see they failed. So, I put the link below. If any of you can upload it and except you if others can also see it, then it will be good.)

(*Ophis (Adult Form): https://www.deviantart.com/lakshay26/art/Ophis-Adult-Form-914021608)

--------------------------------------

{Primis: Even though I am doing this for revenge, it is also a great opportunity for Orario. It's true many will die but on the other hand many will rise too. If they succeed in overcoming this, then I am sure even main members of both Loki and Freya Familia will become Level 7. Ottar will even become Level 8.}

{Sheng Ming: There is something else in your mind, isn't it?}

{Primis: ...…I am sure Ryuu and others will hate me for this.}

{Sheng Ming: They won't.}

Primis look at Sheng Ming who is showing a loving smile.

{Sheng Ming: If they true love you then they will understand.}

{Primis: ...}

{Sheng Ming: And even if they will or even if the whole world hates you. I will always stand by your side.}

{Ophis: Me too.}

{Primis: ...…I see.}

Primis then again closed his eyes and hugged them even more tightly. They both also hugged him back.

[There is even more to it, isn't it? That's what you are. Plans within Plans. Schemes within Schemes. Things are never as simple as you make them appears to be.]

'Primis: Who knows.'

[...Fine then. Primis let's make a bet. If I will be able to figure not your plans and schemes before Behemoth attack one month from now on, then you will always tell me all your plans from then on. Without hiding anything. But if I failed then I won't force you to tell me again. Deal?]

'Primis: Deal.'

Then Primis closed his eyes again to enjoy Ophis and Sheng Ming warmth until others came.

Haruhime: Husband.

Haruhime rushed towards Primis when she saw him, first thing after she came down. She directly jumped into his embrace. Primis catch her and started to caress her head gently. Lili also came down, but she didn't do what Haruhime do. But Primis saw the envious in Lili eyes. So, he stretched his hand towards her. Lili hesitated at first then also jumped into his embrace. As for Ryuu and others.

'Ryuu and others: HUSBAND!!!!'

They are shocked. They never expected Primis to be married. And seeing that he is not denying that they became certain. After some time, both Lili and Haruhime separates and sit on the front. Haruhime become confused while looking at his empty left-shoulder.

Haruhime: H-Husband, where is she?

Primis: You really want to meet her after what you experience last time?

Haruhime shivers remembering that. Even though she has changed and become stronger as compared to last month but when she thinks about Ophis, she still feels dread. She can still feel the chill of death she experienced that time. Syr and others approach with food in their hands by now. They put it on the table and took the seat.

Syr: P-Primis, I didn't you that you and Haruhime are Husband Wife.

Primis: Is it that surprising?

Syr: Y-Yeah.

Ryuu, Chloe, Anya, Lunoire and Syr took a sigh of sadness hearing this. They never expected that. As they were feeling said, Lili who has confusing look on her face ask.

Lili: Haruhime, who are you talking about?

Even though they both have been together for the last month. Haruhime never once talk about Ophis. Because she still is afraid of her.

Primis: She is talking about my Empress.

Lili: EMPRESS!!!!

Ryuu: ...…

Syr: ...…

Chloe: ...…

Anya: ...…

Lunoire: ...…

Lili: WAIT. WAIT. WAIT. Your Empress, you mean another wife.

Primis: Yes.

Lili: You mean Haruhime is not your only wife.

Primis: That's what I mean. And why are you so shocked? It's common to have many wives and concubines.

Lili: Well, that's true.

Syr: STOP.

Syr stands up and look at Primis.

Syr: Is this Empress and Haruhime are your only wives.

Primis: No, I have more.

Everyone falls into silence. Even Haruhime become shocked this time. She has only met with Ophis so she didn't know about 'others'. Yes, 'others'. Primis only said that he has more. He never said he only had 'one' more. Then they all fell into their thoughts.

Yes, it's common to have many wives in this time period. They calm down. But Primis can already see a blazing intensity in their eyes. Primis remain silent while glance at Ophis, who has returned to her little girl form and sitting on his left shoulder again. It appears that she has no intention of showing herself to Haruhime even after meeting again.

Syr: Then where is she---

Primis: Mia, the private room I asked. Is it ready?

Mia: Yes. It's the first room.

Mia voice sounded from the kitchen. Primis then gets up and walk towards the room while leaving his words behind.

Primis: Send the guest to the room.
