A Talk With Crown Prince

 When Catherine woke up, she felt her entire body soar, especially at her nether region. As she opened her eyes, she met Ryker's eyes, who had an amused look on his face. 

 Memory of what happened last night flash by as she lightly hit his chest.

 "Ouch, why?" he asked, like he did not know what he did.

 "Do you have to he so... energetic?" she said, deciding to not use the word perverted.

His laughter make her pout before she let out a small yelp, her man hugging her. She inhaled his scent, feeling her stiff body relaxing. He kissed her forehead as he rubbed her back.

 Then, with a teasing tone, he said, "Now you know why my other lovers wanted me to gather a large harem," she could understand the reasoning. Even her, a Genesis Sea expert could not handle him going full force, not to mention those that weaker than her.

 "Yeah, we will break if it just all of us," they will definitely be sore if they receive his undivided attention, especially their little sister, which still tingles from time to time.

 And that is when he still a Genesis Sea expert. When he become a Noble, or worse, Sovereign, there is no telling how much of his stamina will increase. She both scared and want to see when he get there.

 He then stood up before carrying her in his arm. "Waaah," she let out, surprise by the action.

 "Let's get both of us clean up," the black-haired beauty nodded, Ryker bringing them both into the bathroom. Though, while they do clean up, they did some other thing as well, to Catherine's pleasure.

Catherine looked at the gathered women in front of her with a bright red face. As for the women, they all have smug smiles on it.

 "You enjoyed his big stick, don't you?" Era said, teasing the black-haired receptionist, who meekly nodded.

 "We understand, you definitely could not walk after doing it the entire night," Miriam said in understanding.

 "Why are you all doing this?" she whined, sound unbecoming of her but she just could not handle the teasing much longer.

 "Why, well, it is fun teasing the newer sisters. Besides, everything we said are true. There is no way you don't like what he did to you. Even after everything ached," Mashia said. All of the women make noise of agreement.

 Though, now she thought about it, they missing someone. "Does Ryker not invited to this kind of meeting?" she asked.

 "No, in fact, he will usually have the newest sister on his lap, teasing them by groping and kissing, just to make the embarrassment even worse," for once, Catherine glad Ryker is not here.

 "But he has an important business with the Crown Prince, so he left early on,"

-x-

 "It's good to see you Lariz," Ryker greet the incognito Crown Prince, who wear common clothes, showing the experience he had in blending in.

 "The same to you, Ryker," Lariz replied, to which the two dwelled in silence, well, before they ordered some drinks and snacks. 

 "So, do you want to get to the point or chat a little first?" Ryker asked, the Crown Prince let out a quiet mirthful laugh.

 "Let's have some small talk first," the man replied, Ryker nodding before he asked the man.

 "So, those the other test had began or not yet?" Lariz shook his head.

 "I think my father is planning something big with it, but at the moment, there is nothing. But it would definitely be this year, at the very least that I can infer from," he answered.

 "So, anyone added to your harem?" Ryker rolled his eyes at the teasing from the Crown Prince, though he do want to see if he can do some harm to the other party.

 "Yes," this cause Lariz to stop sipping the tea, "with the head servant of the mansion, and one of the female receptionist, Catherine, though you might not know her,"

 The result is satisfying in Ryker's opinion as he was too busy coughing, water spilling out of his mouth.

 "I am just joking, but seriously. Those two?" he asked with a shock look.

 "Oh, is Catherine famous by any mean? I thought knowing the head servant is part of my harem is the most shocking part," Ryker replied.

 "For the latter, while it is surprising, not by much. After all, she had been serving the royal family for 50 years by now, and she is one of my main caretakers when I was young. With her service to the royal family, father is more lenient towards her and allowed her to marry anyone she wants as long as their credibility and personality is good. 

 She is like another child of my father, with father having watch her grow in the castle before she become a servant. If father knew of it, he would be delighted.

 As for Catherine, she is famous because she is the most beautiful receptionist, even women in Birak Kingdom Adventure Guild. Everyone knew her and every men want her. If they knew she is taken, well, they are going to be beaten up by you, except for some of the admirers at the Noble realm," 

 Ryker listen to the information with a frown. While he can no doubt beat up those below Spirit Grand Realm, there is no way he can handle 3rd Stage Noble and above.

 Seeing him frowning, Lariz let out a chuckle before raising his hand when Ryker glared at him, "As long as you don't flaunt your relationship, then there will be no way for them to find out," he said, earning a sigh from the eldest brother.

 "Let's talk about business, why do you call me here?" Ryker asked, deciding to deal with the headache that is Catherine's admirers later, preferably when he is a Noble expert.

 "Well, I want to ask you to do something, and you will be rewarded for it," Ryker look at Lariz and nodded. In fact, if the Crown Prince want him to do something for free, he will do it. He owe him too much to refuse.

 Seeing him nod, Lariz let out a sigh of relief, one ignored by Ryker in favor of listening to the task in question.

 "I want you to be both Dory and Brya guide when they took their first mission as adventurers," on second thought, it's a good thing Lariz offer him a reward as the task in question clearly beyond what he used to do. And he had to fight a weakened Noble expert!
