Fountain Square cafe.
Across from Emily, Emma's brows twitched further. Olivia sighed. Gianna and Suzine simply smiled. Lena offered a gentle grin of her own.
As the two returned and settled down, Dian smiled warmly.
"So, shall we head home? Or is there anything else?" he asked.
The group went quiet for a second, each considering.
Then, in unison, they all shook their heads.
"I'm totally stuffed. It's been a great day, husband~," Gianna murmured with a soft yawn.
"Me too," Suzine added with a tired but content smile.
Olivia and Lena both gave heartfelt nods of agreement.
Emily snuggled her plush wolf and smiled radiantly.
Emma, meanwhile, turned her head away, muttering something under her breath. Dian caught the flicker of sulk in her tone and expression, prompting a faint, wary smile from him.
"Then let's head home," he said, rising to his feet. "It really was the best day of my life."
As he said that, instantly. A teasing voice came in his head. "Oh? Which one. The past life or this one."
Dian, already familiar answered her calmly in his mind. "Both."
The group unaware of their another sister, smiled back, standing beside him.
The sun had already dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in deep purples and fading gold. As they walked back through Windsor Town's charming lanes, their laughter and lighthearted chatter drew eyes. Even the stall owners paused, momentarily captivated by the group's beauty and warmth.

Back Alley – Five Minutes Later
The group emerged at the quiet alley behind the town square, where a modest, unmarked carriage waited—simple but sturdy. Beside it stood Jones, clad in plain clothing, his expression composed as always.
He bowed respectfully. "My lord. Ladies."
Dian nodded, as did the others, returning his gesture with cheerful smiles.
They began boarding the carriage one by one. When it was Emily's turn, Dian reached out his hand toward her wolf plush.
"I can hold that if you want—"
But she clutched it tighter with one arm and shook her head softly, ascending the carriage with it tucked against her like a sacred treasure.
Laughter and light giggles echoed lightly from inside.
Only Lena remained standing outside.
Dian raised an eyebrow. "You're not joining us?"
Lena shook her head politely. "I'll head home. My shift ends here, Lord Skyster..."
There was a short pause.
Dian stepped down and gave her a courteous nod. "Thank you for today, Lena. You were… incredible."
Lena's fingers tightened slightly around the glowing obsidian pendant around her neck.
A light blush colored her cheeks.
"I… It was an honor, Lord Skyster," she replied, offering a soft bow.
She didn't meet his eyes—not because she didn't want to… but because she feared if she did, her legs wouldn't let her walk away.
Jones observed quietly from behind, his eyes narrowing slightly in thought. He noticed the subtle brush of Lena's thumb over the pendant as the carriage began to pull away.

Inside the Carriage – Route to Skyster Castle
The ride was smooth, silent save for the gentle clatter of wheels against cobblestones.
No teasing. No squabbling. Just the hush of peace after a beautiful day.
Dian let his gaze drift over everyone.
Olivia smiled faintly. Emily still cradled her wolf plush, humming something softly under her breath. Suzine and Gianna leaned against him slightly, content.
But when his gaze reached Emma…
Her stare was sharp, her expression unreadable. That subtle pout still lingered.
Dian smiled with just a hint of awkwardness. "Uh… why the long face, Emma? You didn't enjoy?"
She gave a dismissive "hmph" and turned away, her arms crossed.
Sensing the tension, Olivia spoke gently. "She loved the day for sure… but maybe… she missed your presence."
Emma's head snapped around with a sharp look at Olivia.
Dian laughed at the reaction, then smiled warmly at all of them. "So… how about I spend a day with each of you alone?"
His voice was soft, affectionate.
The carriage fell into thoughtful silence.
Then, slowly, every woman's eyes lit with quiet joy. Even Emma's frown softened, her gaze drifting to him again.
"And of course," Dian continued, looking directly at Emma, "the first one will be with you."
Her cheeks flushed lightly. She turned away, but her heart thumped erratically in her chest.
W-Why is it beating so fast lately… every time he looks at me like that…
She snuck a glance back at him. Hateful…
Emily, sitting across from them, caught the glance and chuckled quietly. Her eyes sparkled with amusement.
She really is my daughter... she thought, smiling knowingly.

Ten Minutes Later – Skyster Castle
The majestic silhouette of Skyster Castle came into view—its blue torches and crystal lights gleaming against the darkened sky. A warm glow spilled from the high towers and stone walls like an embrace.
"Home sweet home!" Gianna chirped, stretching with joy.
"Best day I've had in years," Suzine added, beaming.
"I loved the town…" Emily whispered, still holding her plush wolf like a cherished gift.
Dian stepped out last, breathing in the night air.
He glanced back at the carriage, then at Windsor Town bathed in amber hues. Its lanterns glowed like distant stars.
And in that quiet moment, he thought:
Yes. This is what life should be like. I love this second life.
He stepped inside with his wives beside him and maybe some soon-to-be wife? The castle guards bowed silently as they passed.

Evening Inside the Castle
Dinner was skipped. They were all full from the food stalls and sweets they'd devoured earlier.
After warm baths, they dispersed to their rooms.
Olivia and Emma returned to theirs, their bodies dropping onto the soft beds with happy sighs. Within moments, they were fast asleep.
Even Emma smiled faintly in her sleep, mumbling something incoherent.
Emily lay on her bed—next to Dian's chamber—still hugging the wolf plush to her chest.
She giggled, flushed, remembering the alley, the kiss… his hands... and theneay she felt. Her legs kicked softly under the covers.
Beside, In the central bedroom, Dian rested on the king-sized bed. His black hair still damp from his bath, chest bare, gaze peaceful.
On one side, Suzine lay curled into him, her cheek on his shoulder, pale icy-blue hair shimmering faintly beneath the moonlight.
On the other, Gianna, her breath gentle and slow, green hair splayed around her, pointy ears twitching in her sleep.
He smiled.
Their warmth surrounded him. Their breasts pressing against his chest. But tonight… there was no passion.
Just the comfort of love.
He opened his eyes and internally called out to the system.

Dian smiled to himself.
"I really have earned a lot," he whispered mentally. But then frowned. "Break down the points from Gianna and Suzine… and why isn't Emily added to my harem yet?"
The system chime rang again.
A familiar, feminine voice answered—mildly irritated.
"Host, how many times have I told you to check your windows properly?" she huffed.
Dian chuckled. "You know I love you the most, don't you~?"
The system paused. Then…
"…Y-You! Hmph. Fine."
Her voice softened—though clearly flustered.
"First: the LP from Suzine and Gianna is from… well, your nightly lovemaking. The moaning, the squirting… need I go on?"
"And Emily?" Dian asked.
"You haven't 'linked' with her yet," she replied, stressing the word.
Dian blinked. "So, you mean… sex."
"Correct," the system replied cheerfully. "Even you can understand the simple stuff when it comes to these topics."
He laughed again, which caused the girls to stir and nestle closer.
"Well… I'm a man full of love," he said. And instantly another screen poped up infront .

Dian raised an eyebrow.
"A day's already gone," he murmured.
But there was no urgency in his heart.
After what Emily experienced today in the alley—with just a kiss—he knew things were moving forward naturally.
And now… with the spark of love in her eyes, he didn't plan on holding back much longer.
He smiled—a little darker, a little playful.
"Careful," the system warned with a sigh. "That smile of yours is getting dangerously seductive again…"
Dian laughed, already looking for to Tommorow.
