Chapter 179 What?

Aldred woke up with both Selene and Darla still sleeping beside him. There was a blood staining the sheet, and Aldred saw the both of them smiling.

“So they do like me,” Aldred said with a smile. He tried to recall what happen yesterday, and he thought that it was very weird. He became very bold yesterday, pulling them and pushing them down like that.

Maybe girls do want a confident man although maybe slightly a bit forceful, but not too much.

In any case, everything went well. He had a good time with the both of them.

Selene and Darla woke up, staring at him with a pair of sky blue eyes.

They smiled and hugged him from the side.

He hugged them back and caressed them before they kissed and made love for a few minutes.

“I have to leave now. My friends are probably looking for me.”

Selene and Darla nodded.

“I had a lot of fun with you two.”

“It’s our pleasure, my lord.”

“You don’t have to call me lord.”

“We must do so.”

“Alright, just don’t call me that if we are alone.”

“Yes… Aldred.”

Aldred laughed before he got out of bed and left the room before waving at them.

When he closed the door he saw Pongo the penguin with a small camera in his flippers.

The penguin blinked before he ran away.

“Wait, Pongo. What the hell did you do?” He chased down the penguin through the hallway.

They saw a staircase that led upward, and Pongo slid up from the railing.

“The fuck?” Aldred activated his flame jet and chased after him. “Give me that damn camera. And how the hell do you have a camera anyway?”

“Pongo pongo.”

Just as his hand was about to grab onto the penguin, Pongo vomited a bomb and threw it at him.

Boom!

Smoke filled his sight, and when Aldred came out of the smoke, Pongo was nowhere to be seen.

He snorted. “I will get him later.”

“Aldred!” Mareona walked to him aggressively. “Where the hell have you been? We’ve been waiting for an entire night!”

“Sorry, I got drunk and slept.”

“Where?”

“Uhh… somewhere.”

“Humph. So you dare to have fun with other girls without telling us?” Mareona grabbed him by the ear.

“Ouch. Ouch. Can you please stop pulling my ear.”

Mary laughed and gently pushed Mareona’s hand. “Don’t be too hard on him. Aldred, Lord Yanka told us that we can leave whenever we want.”

“Eh, what about the ‘promise?’. You know doing that to Byron’s mother and sister.”

“He said that they had broken the curse,” Zafrina said with a tinge of doubt. “It shouldn’t be possible.”

“Oh, they break the curse? Then we are not needed here any longer.”

Aldred did not think too much about it. He had been waiting for the mother and sister to come out, but it seemed like they were trying to break the curse on their own. Since they succeeded, then he had no business to stay here.

“Let’s go to Paphia and find the Lair of Treasure.”

“The place where the Forgotten Warrior told you to go?” Mary asked.

“Yes. We can ride on Xer Xai and burrow under ground for faster travel.”

“We should say our goodbye to Lord Yanka then.”

They all nodded and visited Lord Yanka together.

“You’re leaving already? I know you don’t have any business here anymore, but you can relax for a while.”

“I thank you for the offer, Lord Yanka. But I have to go. The search for the treasure is not yet over, and I cannot relax until my goal is obtained.”

Lord Yanka laughed. “Well said. A man should be ambitious. Especially when you have a lot of women to take care of. I cannot escort you out, but I hope you succeed in your journey.”

Aldred nodded and left the castle with the others.

“You’re leaving so soon?” Byron asked.

“Yeah, we gotta go now,” Aldred said.

He smiled. “Alright. I will not slow you down. I will assign some guards to escort you out of the city. Good luck.”

Aldred nodded and walked to the city gate while the guards walked beside them.

When they were out, the guards saluted and turned around.

“Xer Xai! Yip Yip!”

“Mooo.” Xer Xai burst out of the ground in front of the gate with dust and dirt falling of her dark purple shining exoskeletons.

She put her head on the ground and opened her jaw.

“Let’s get in,” Aldred said.

“Are we entering its mouth?” Zafrina asked. “That doesn’t seem to be a good idea.”

“Don’t worry she’s tame.” Aldred laughed as he entered the mouth and everyone else followed immediately.

After everyone was inside, Xer Xai closed her mouth and then dived into the ground once again.

Aldred opened his palm and lilies of flame shot out before floating slowly inside Xer Xai’s stomach. He then took out a map from his inventory.

“According to the map, all we have to do is travel south east and we will arrive at our destination.”

“So we will be staying here for a few days?” Mary asked.

“Don’t worry. It will be as comfortable as Byron’s carriage.

He then pulled out a bunch of crates of food and wine out of his divine dimension. There were also chalices, some plates, tables, and everything else.

“Where did you get all of this?”

“I found them,” Aldred said. “Don’t think too much about it and enjoy the ride. Bartrem, let’s get to cooking. I have some magical cooking devices for you to use.”

They set up the tables and seats as Bartrem and the soldiers started cooking.

Meanwhile, Zafrina was frowning. “This is very weird.”

“What is?” Aldred asked.

“The blood curse cannot be broken at all, and yet Lord Yanka is able to do that. Something is going on here.”

Suddenly, Pongo ran passed them and Aldred caught him. “Gotcha.”

“Now give me that camera.” Aldred took the camera and Zafrina noticed a picture.

“Let me borrow that.”

Aldred gave it to her.

When she looked at the picture, she widened her eyes. “Aldred, tell me. Can this small tool able to paint an image realistically?”

“Yes, you can say that.”

“So you are really sleeping with these two women?”

“Yep.”

Zafrina sighed. “Now, I know.”

“Know what?” Mary asked. The other girls were also approaching them with curiosity.

“Oh, they both look beautiful,” Mary said. “You have always been a charming one, Aldred.”

Aldred shrugged. “Maybe I am.”

“I don’t think you see the problem here,” Zafrina said.

“What’s the problem? Are you perhaps jealous?” Stella jokingly said.

“No, that’s not what I mean. These two women. They are Karolina and Slavina.”

Zafrina looked at them dead in the eye. “These two are Byron’s mom and sister.”

“What!?”
