Chapter 176: Bonding

Alex left the treasury.

He headed outside, where Stella and Celia had been practicing together. It seemed like these two were doing afternoon exercises.

“It really just looks like you are exercising…” Alex whispered while staring at the winged goddess and little dullahan.

There were also two wolves training their physical stats too.

Out of these four peculiar existences, only two trained seriously.

Two wolves…

Ubo and Bo had been running around with all their might. Looking at them, everyone would think of them as dogs.

They were particularly loud and excited.

On the other hand, Stella and Celia used their unique half-race characteristics.

The winged girl flapped her wings without any magic, floating in one spot. It didn’t really seem like she exercised.

But moving wings took some strength too. It was also Stella flapping those wings, which meant that it was more than just a simple and crude exercise.

Celia was headless. Her little head was before the book. She studied as much as she could while trying to control her body. But because she was so inexperienced and lacked her mom to guide her soul energy, Celia’s body often fell as if someone cut strings hailing her.

Each time her body dropped, Celia would roll her eyes to look at herself. That was once again a mistake as her head rolled.

After that, it would take some time for the little princess to return to her duties.

Alex squinted his eyes, making his usual expression of disbelief.

Two important girls noticed Alex belatedly. They then swarmed him, looking at Alex with their unique expression.

Stella whispered, “Good morning.”

Celia lifted her hands, asking for a hug, “Hi, Daddy!”

Alex picked her up, then looked into Stella’s eyes, “Do you want to go to the forest fairies’ capital today?”

Stella nodded, ready to move and shake her bottom like most girls do. She would refuse her wings for Alex and walk by his side.

Celia’s eyes twinkled as she thought she would go with Alex to the Aqua Park!

But Alex patted her head, “It’s more of official stuff. We will have fun next time, okay?”

Celia’s expression changed, looking saddened. She bit her lips, then pouted, hiding her face in Alex’s shoulder. She whispered faintly, “Okay….”

“Good girl,” Alex patted her back, promising a lot of fun next time.

Fortunately, it didn’t take any time to convince Celia. But from the other perspective, Celia was used to being alone. Of course, she would always have her good friend Ubo.

However, when Sara or Alex told her about their important missions, Celia would immediately accept the reality. She knew how hard her mother worked and how dangerous their life was.

She didn’t know about all responsibilities, but she could tell some stuff. Because of that, Celia didn’t complain or cry like most kids her age would do.

Alex also knew about it, so he gave her strong support and promises he would never betray.

After that, Stella picked Celia. They both went to take a bath as their bodies were sweaty after their training.

It was also a good experience for Stella as she wanted to learn how to take care of kids for her own and Alex’s future.

Left alone with two wolves, Alex sat down.

Ubo and Bo had been silent, seemingly not wanting to bother Alex. However, the reality was that they used this chance to look in the grave’s direction.

During Wolfen Demon’s funeral, Alex had told everyone about Wolfen Demon’s plight and ambition. He told how lonely he was and how he wished to speak with someone from his family.

Alas, the last werewolf had fallen.

Alex patted their wolf heads, scratching their furs, “Wolfen Demon’s spirit gonna live in you guys. You will be the best companions for my family… A great companion that Wolfen Demon wanted…

Never leave or betray Celia…” Alex whispered.

Two wolves let out a faint howl.

Then rubbed their bodies on Alex. It was their show of affection and loyalty, which Alex accepted wholeheartedly.

‘Ubo might carry a genuine werewolf bloodline, right?’ Alex whispered inwardly while staring at Ubo.

He was a peculiar existence because he came out from the demon egg. He didn’t even look like a demon but a pure wolf. Would Ubo awaken some demonic abilities in the future, or would he evolve into a pure werewolf?

Alex hoped for the latter as it would be a good tribute to Wolfen Demon, who had significantly helped his family.

They were enemies, but even those people deserved due respect.

After having his soft and unique moment with the wolves, Alex turned around, feeling Stella and Celia’s presence.

The little dullahan once again requested a carry. Celia wished all best for Alex in his arms, conveying her feelings.

Then, Celia left his hug by herself, taking a spot between Ubo and Bo, “Good luck, Daddy! Say hello to Remia for me”!

“I will,” Alex grinned. He hoped that his daughters or sons would be the same, sweet kids like Celia.

With Sara, he had more chances for such treasure as Celia.

Stella squinted her eyes, feeling her big sister’s presence in Alex’s mind. She also believed Alex thought about the little baby he had promised to her.

She wrapped her arms around Alex’s arm, engulfing his bare skin in her soft pair. As Alex wore a t-shirt and Stella had a strapless dress, Alex could indeed feel a lot of softness Stella’s body could offer.

He whispered to her ear, “Don’t rekindle those emotions.”

“Work first… Sex later,” Stella whispered back, her voice so weak as she didn’t want Celia to hear anything, “Keep those feelings in mind. The more you suppress them, the better our night will be.”

Alex could only agree with Stella, allowing her to hug to remain the same. Of course, it would trigger waves of jealousy in the forest fairies’ capital, to which Alex mentally prepared himself as well.

He took her hand, then looked at Celia for the last time, “We will be back soon. Do not go overboard with your studies; remember to bathe and eat!”

“Yes, Daddy! I have never forgotten my duties!” Celia grinned, proudly puffing out her chest.

Alex laughed out loud at such a prideful display!

He then left as it was time to bond with forest fairies.
