Chapter 308 44

One week had passed since the students from Piqmentia Grand Academy returned to their main routine. Most students looked dispirited regarding their academic life after a long vacation. Some of them were still reminiscing about their holiday and had almost forgotten about the academy, and some of them were unwilling to part with their families.

Clara and the girls live their academic life as usual. Vacations were fun, but studying at the academy and meeting up with classmates were even happier.

Princess Iris and the girls no longer needed lessons from the teachers because right now, their strength was more or less the same as the teachers. But after all, studying is their duty as a student, and they will probably learn valuable lessons from the teachers other than just fighting.

On the other hand, Ziel had solved Queen Helena's problem through Kalya's help. At first, Queen Helena thought she had sex with Ziel, and whenever she saw him, she would blush and look away from him.

But after Kalya talked privately with her and explained that Ziel had left the room after the treatment ended, Queen Helena thought that her experience at that time was just a dream. She was relieved and disappointed at the same time. But Queen Helena's behavior when she saw Ziel remained the same and gave him a bit of a headache.

Queen Helena stayed at the academy for a month to get a new atmosphere in the healing process. When King Leonida heard the news, he couldn't help but sigh and could do nothing. He also couldn't follow her to the academy because he was still very busy after the Five Kingdoms Conference.

Queen Helena sometimes comes to Ziel's cottage with Princess Freya. Despite their age gap, she quickly got to know Clara and the other girls. Of course, Lilith and Kalya were exceptions as they far exceeded Queen Helena's age.

During that week, Ziel had met Azalia several times. He intended to find out the reason for his dream. Unfortunately, he still hadn't found any clues from her. Every time they met, Ziel would return in the morning because they were always immersed in their love at night.

When he first came to Azalia's place, Ziel was a little surprised by the hideout location of the divine race. Azalia didn't reveal his identity to the people of her race. Otherwise, they will be hostile towards him and want to kill him after finding out that he was the one who killed Azael.

Currently, Ziel is sitting in the cafeteria and having lunch with Clara and Lilith. The other girls were not with them because they had important business while Kalya ate with the other teachers. After all, they will be the center of attention if they eat lunch together at the same table.

"Ken, I heard from one of my friends that there is a gray-haired minority living on the border between the Aurelia Kingdom and the Argaint Kingdom. But they moved from that area and are now on the borders of the Neigal Kingdom. Are they related to you?" Clara asked carefully. She was worried that the question would annoy Ziel since he also had gray hair.

When she walked into class this morning and sat in her seat, Clara overheard her friend's chatter. She heard about the gray-haired minority they met on their vacation. Out of curiosity, Clara asked for details about those people and thought they had something to do with Ziel.

After she learned the characteristics of the minorities from her friends, Clara was sure that Ziel had some resemblance to them except for his crimson eyes. Therefore, she wanted to confirm whether those people were related to Ziel or not. If true, then the information might be of use to him.

Ziel raised his eyebrows after hearing Clara's words. Although he was not interested in his origins in this era, at least he wanted to know who his parents were. Moreover, Ziel might find clues about the dreams he had been having recently.

"It's possible that the minorities are related to me, my lady. But I can't be sure. Can you ask your friend about their location? I'll check it out in person there on a day off." Ziel couldn't be sure that the minorities were related to him before he checked it with his two eyes. If he could find his parents, that would be a good thing. But if not, then it's not a problem for him.

"Leave it to me! I'll ask her again. Once you know the location, can you take me too?" Clara said while puffing out her chest. She felt a little excited because the information was useful to Ziel.

"Hmm... for what, my lady? It's not something fun. I want to find out about myself there. After all, didn't we have a date in town not too long ago?" Ziel smiled. He had kept his promise to Clara and the girls. During this week, he dated the girls, including Lilith and Kyouka.

Clara and Lilith's faces reddened when Ziel reminded them of it. They were ashamed of what they had done with him on their date. Holding hands, hugging, and even kissing. Thinking back on it made their hearts beat fast, and their bodies heated up.

"I know it! Can you not remind me of that!? I just wanted to come with you and see the people you might be related to." Clara was curious about the minority that her friend had mentioned. But the main reason was that she wanted to spend time with him.

"Hmm…" Ziel doesn't want to take Clara because he doesn't know how the situation is there. He was confident that he could face most dangers with his current strength. But if the last continent's guardians appeared, he felt helpless if he had to fight while protecting Clara.

"Then, I will also come with you. I will accompany Clara there. I'm also curious about those minorities because I've never met them." Lilith understood Ziel's concern. She also wanted to help Clara, who seemed eager to come with him. Besides that, Lilith also had another reason, which was the same as Clara. Lilith didn't dare look him in the eye when she recalled what she had done with Ziel.

Ziel had accepted Lilith and the girls into his family, and they were happy about it. Even if they have to share the man they love with another woman, they don't mind as long as they can be with Ziel. Moreover, their relationship is like a sister's, making it easy for them to accept each other and support the man they love together.

When Ziel saw the faces of the two girls, he knew he couldn't resist. So he just smiled and nodded, agreeing to their request. With Lilith with them, Ziel didn't have to worry about Clara's safety.

"Good!" Clara said cheerfully. On the other hand, Lilith seemed calmer and just smiled even though she felt as happy as Clara.

"Okay. We will go to that place on holiday. For now, hurry up and finish your food. Lunch break will soon be over." Ziel smiled and quickly finished the meal on his plate. The two girls nodded and focused back on their food.

***

On a sunny morning, Clara and the girls had gathered at Ziel's cottage. Today was a holiday, and Ziel planned to go with Clara and Lilith to the location where the gray-haired minority lived. Besides Clara and the others, Queen Helena was also seen among them and enjoyed tea with the girls.

For some reason, Queen Helena became a regular visitor at Ziel's cottage and often came with Princess Freya. Even so, she still couldn't see Ziel properly. But that's not a problem for Ziel. As long as she didn't cross the line, Ziel didn't care if she often came to his cottage or even stayed there with Princess Freya.

Ziel had explained to Kalya and the girls his purpose for going with Clara and Lilith. When he invited them, Kalya dan the girls smiled and said they wanted to relax in the cottage. But Ziel knew the real reason behind their refusal was to give Lilith and Clara a chance to spend time with him.

Currently, Kalya and the girls are standing in front of the cottage and intend to take him off. Ziel saw Queen Helena standing behind them. When her eyes met Ziel's, her face turned red, and she quickly lowered her head. Ziel could only shake his head at her behavior.

"Okay. We're leaving. Do you not want to come with us?" Ziel looked at Kalya and the others and reconfirmed their answer.

"I want to laze around all day. So, I passed."

"Correct. We're not in the mood for a walk outside."

"You don't have to think about us. You guys have fun."

"Please be careful out there. If anything happens, please let us know immediately."

Kalya and the girls answered, and Ziel understood they didn't want to go with him this time.

Queen Helena looked in awe at the girls' relationship. After meeting them several times, Queen Helena discovers that the girls are Ziel's lovers and don't mind sharing the man they love. What surprised her even more, was that most girls weren't random people.

The girls were no ordinary people and were part of the royal family. They were Princess Cattleya from the Elven Kingdom, Princess Iris from the Neigal Kingdom, Princess Aishia from the Argaint Kingdom, the hero Kyouka and her daughter from the Aurelia Kingdom. Even though Kyouka wasn't a noble, her status as a hero made her rank higher than them.

At first, Queen Helena was not happy with it and intended to ask her daughter to break her relationship with Ziel. But after seeing the happy faces of her daughters and the closeness to the girls, Queen Helena could only give up and give her consent.

Even so, Queen Helena felt strange because her heart was uncomfortable seeing that. Unbeknownst to her, Queen Helena had feelings of jealousy for her daughter.

"I understand. Then we go." Ziel nodded. Lilith and Clara waved their hands to the girls. Ziel grabbed the hands of the two girls, and they disappeared from the place. After Ziel left, Princess Freya smiled broadly and opened her voice.

"Okay. What are we going to do now?" Princess Freya looked at the girls and asked.

"Hmm… how about we try the hot spring that Ziel made? After that, we can enjoy the sake he left behind." Kalya gives an idea.

"Ah! that sounds great!" Princess Iris nodded.

"Didn't Ziel also leave his cooking to you? Besides, doesn't he also provide the best quality tea and coffee? We can have a tea party this afternoon!" Princess Aishia added more ideas.

"You are right! I almost forgot about it!" Princess Aishia clapped her hands and had an exciting look after hearing that.

"In that case, it has already been decided! We will have a lot of work today. Busy to pamper ourselves!" Kalya nodded and then raised her hand.

"Yeah!" The girls shouted in response and also raised their hands.

"Hmm... may I join you?" Listening from the side, Queen Helena became envious after hearing about their plan. The girls looked like they were having fun, and she didn't want to be left out.

"Eh? You want to do that together with us?" The one who was confused by the request was Princess Freya. Even though she knows that her mother is a tea lover, Queen Helena is not a person who likes crowds.

Princess Freya thought that Queen Helena had been forced to come to Ziel's cottage because she didn't want to be left alone in her room. But right now, her mother was openly asking to join them, leaving her at a loss regarding how to respond. She was afraid that Kalya and the girls would feel uncomfortable with her mother's presence in their midst.

"Yes. Can't I join you? I think what you are going to do sounds like fun." Queen Helena smiled elegantly. Kalya raised her eyebrows when she heard the statement but then smiled and opened her mouth.

"Freya, wouldn't it be better if your mother came with us? The more people, the more fun it will be." Kalya looked at Princess Freya and said.

"I think it would be fun." Princess Aishia and the girls agreed with Kalya's words. Princess Freya saw that the girls understood her concern and agreed because they wanted to protect her feelings.

"Thank you! Then, Let's start with the hot springs on this sunny morning!!" Princess Freya smiled sweetly and raised her fist.

"Let's go!" The girls and Queen Helena answered in unison and went to the big hot spring Ziel had made behind the cottage.
