Daddy

Just before leaving the room, Alex decided to check his status level. Immediately after thinking about his status, a floating screen appeared in front of him, displaying:

[Name: Alex Eswald

Age: 60

Strength: 10

Agility: 20

Stamina: 15

Defense: 10

Mana Points: 5

Harem: Lilia Eswald

Abilities: Soul Linkage

Soul Points: 10]

'I've gained 6 points... hmm, tell me, how do I increase my stats?'

[The conversion rate is as follows:

1 Soul Point = +5 points for the attribute you wish to increase]

'I see... let's see... um, how do we do this?'

[You inform me of the attribute you want to increase.]

'I see... does it hurt?'

[...]

He needed to know if it would cause him any discomfort before deciding to increase an ability; after all, he was currently with Lilia, and he didn't want to worry her.

Seeing that the system wasn't responding, Alex decided to let it go and use the system to increase his abilities once he was alone.

Just as he was about to dismiss the floating screen, a question popped into his mind, and he decided to ask it.

'How can I unlock Lilia's powers?'

The screen changed once more, displaying:

[You must use soul points.]

'I see... So how many points do I need to unlock Lilia's powers?'

[Since the technique that left her in this state was a high-level one, the unlocking process must occur progressively,] it replied.

"Progressively? What do you mean by that?"

[It means you cannot release all her powers at once; you must unlock one ability after another.]

'How many points does it take to unlock one ability?'

[Fifty points for each ability.]

"Heok"

Alex let out a surprised sound, and Lilia, noticing her husband's unusual expression, asked, "Dear, are you okay?"

"Huh, oh yes, everything's fine."

He said everything was fine, but in his head, he was thinking, 'Fifty points to unlock one ability? I barely have 10 points.'

It was at this moment that he realized freeing Lilia from her "weakness" would be a challenging task.

'But I'll make it happen,' he thought with determination.

And then together, he and Lilia left their room and found their maid, Anna, waiting outside their door. She was still dressed as a maid, but her attire looked more elegant and sophisticated than what she wore when she welcomed Alex in the morning.

Upon seeing her master and mistress finally emerge from the room, Anna turned her gaze toward them. She couldn't help but be a little shocked to see her master dressed so elegantly.

Normally, he always wore casual clothes when at home, and she had never seen him so well-dressed or with such a stylish haircut since she started working for them. However, she was a professional and quickly composed herself.

She greeted them, bending slightly towards them. "Master, Mistress, good evening."

Alex discreetly admired the maid's appearance, appreciating her figure. As Anna blushed under his gaze, Alex couldn't help but think, "Really not bad." He found her quite attractive, but he knew he had to avert his gaze before Lilia noticed his attention on the maid.

Anna blushing even more intensified his thought, "Cute." He decided to focus on other things, not wanting Lilia to catch him checking out the maid.

When he heard an acknowledgment sound, he didn't react further, but Lilia asked Anna, "Have the guests arrived?"

Anna shook her head and replied, "They haven't arrived yet-"

Lilia let out a sigh of relief, saying, "Thank goodness." She was genuinely nervous about guests arriving while she was absent. After all, what kind of host would she be if she missed their arrival?

Meanwhile, Anna continued speaking, "However, the young ladies have arrived."

"Oh, they're here! Where are they?"

"They're in the meeting room."

"Alright, let's go see them," said Lilia, pulling Alex in the direction of the meeting room.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the meeting room, and there was already someone waiting for them.

The person waiting for them was a young woman in her twenties.

This person was none other than Viviane Eswald, the eldest of Alex and Lilia's children.

Viviane was as stunning as her mother, with luscious red curls cascading down her back. Her crimson eyes held kindness and respect as she watched her parents approach.

She possessed a body akin to her mother's, featuring ample curves that hinted at future allure. In her youth, her bust and hips were already slightly above average, and as she matured, there was no doubt her physical assets would rival or even surpass her mother's.

As she saw them approaching, Viviane's face lit up with joy, and she started running toward the approaching couple, shouting:

"Daddy!"
