He's Too Honest

Before Dante woke up, Morgana and Valentina had already placed the boy's body on a king-sized bed. He lay in the middle while the two older women surrounded him on both sides, their warm bodies enveloping him. His body's condition was normal, but his consciousness hadn't returned. It had been two more hours since Dante had entered hibernation.

"He must be going through Arthur's trial. It may take a while for him to understand his ambitions," Morgana said, running her hand over Dante's face.

"He'll pass it easily. I told him the flames need ambition to grow stronger," Valentina said, a proud expression on her face as she looked at Morgana.

"I never asked you, why did you want to have a child?" Morgana asked, looking at Valentina, waiting for an answer.

"I was tired of living. I sought a new experience... but..." Valentina said, glancing at Dante.

"It was more than an experience," Morgana said, understanding what Valentina meant, and Valentina agreed, continuing.

"I can't explain it, but when I saw him in the hands of an old caregiver, it felt like destiny telling me to hold onto him, to make him mine," Valentina explained, holding Dante's small hand.

"He also seems to want to stay close to me more and more. My inconvenient ability to read people has been thrown off near him. It's like..." Valentina tried to express something, and Morgana completed her thought.

"His nature is just being himself," Morgana said, understanding what Valentina was trying to convey. Morgana always tried to analyze Dante using her magic to know if he lied or hid something but always failed.

"He's too honest. Even when I mentioned the bite on my neck, instead of pulling away, he attacked me," Valentina said, remembering when Dante forcefully bit her neck and smiled when he claimed to be her husband.

"You're thinking indecent things," Morgana said, reading Valentina's thoughts through her expressions.

"Don't blame me; he's the one who said he wants me to be his wife," Valentina said, laughing as she recalled the moment.

"It's a pity that it will never happen," Morgana said, laughing, and Valentina became sullen.

"Why not?" Valentina asked seriously, and Morgana also became serious.

"Because he will be my husband," Morgana replied, raising her magical aura, while Valentina raised her battle aura, causing the entire tower to tremble.

Those who were in the tower were alerted by the commotion, but they stopped when they heard the floor manager, Katarina, saying it was just Morgana and Valentina arguing.

Of course, it didn't go unnoticed, but everyone quickly assumed that the two monsters were vying for the cute little boy they had seen earlier.

Just as their auras were about to explode against each other, a grunt came from where Dante was lying, grabbing both their attention. They saw him slowly opening his eyes.

The atmosphere of war quickly shifted to a familiar one, and a smile appeared on both women's faces when they saw that Dante's mana circulation was completely fine.

"Welcome back, Dear/Love," they both said simultaneously, which surprised Dante; he had never been called "dear" by Morgana.

He sat up in bed, now looking at the two women who seemed to be waiting for something.

At first, Dante didn't understand, but soon, he raised both his hands, and three different flames appeared, illuminating the faces of the three present in the room.

Both women looked at each other and smiled more than usual. Then, they leaned in, each planting a kiss on Dante's cheek, and said in unison:

"Congratulations!" They seemed happier than usual, but Dante became serious, and they looked at him.

"I think I deserve a better reward than just a kiss on the cheek," Dante said, turning to Valentina, holding her face, and pulled her into a kiss on her lips that lasted about 5 seconds, leaving Valentina completely red.

Of course, she'd turn red; it was her first kiss. Even though it wasn't with tongue, she was a legendary warrior who had just fallen for a child's charms!

Morgana looked surprised, but a smile quickly appeared on her face, clearly saying, "My turn!"

As Dante separated from Valentina, he turned his face towards Morgana and was surprised by another kiss. He had intended to do this, but thought Morgana wouldn't accept it. He couldn't have been more wrong.

The kiss also lasted for their 5 seconds and left both of them blushing. Dante hadn't imagined this, as both women were as old as the cities they lived in. But it was indeed true—Valentina and Morgana were completely innocent when it came to pleasures between men and women. They never had the chance to find someone who would cherish and make them happy... Not until a few years ago when Dante appeared.

Dante looked at Morgana, who was still recovering, and then at Valentina, still red. Why did they look like that? Dante wondered. Soon, he stuttered slightly and asked,

"Was that your first kiss, Mother?" Valentina blushed and turned her face, confirming his suspicions. He then turned and saw Morgana doing the same.

'I took their first kisses...' Dante was shocked internally, yet at the same time, he felt like the happiest man in the entire world.
