Arthur arrives on the second floor of his house and goes straight to his mother's bedroom.
It was supposed to be a guest room when the house was built, but after Aria started losing trust in Draven, she moved to this room.
Arthur enters the bedroom and smiles at seeing pictures of him with Eve and Aria everywhere, as well as various magical tools and books.
"I'm so tired!" He lets out a sigh and just allows his body to fall face down on Aria's big bed with his arms open.
Since Aria made that bed with magic for her after cutting off any romantic relationship with Draven, it only has her scent, which Arthur lets invade his nose without any resistance.
"So good..." He breathes deeply and enjoys the sweet scent of his mother.
Nyx, standing at the door, rolls her eyes, clearly with that sour feeling in her heart. "Such a perv!"
"I guess I am," Arthur comments in a sad tone; after all, he also finds it very wrong to enjoy his mother's scent that much.
Nyx regrets having said that and makes a sorry expression. "I didn't really mean that... you just love your mother, and that's fair since she is so nice to you."
Arthur lies on his back on the bed and gives a curious look at her. "You started acting differently after you showed yourself to my mother..."
"Ehh..." Nyx becomes shy and diverts her gaze. "What do you mean? I'm not strange or anything like that..."
"There it is, the shy Nyx I know," he laughs affectionately. "I didn't mean that you're strange, but you seem more at ease with your physical body and more confident, too."
"Hmm..." She slowly turns to look at him again with her blushing face. "So... her perfume is better than mine?"
"What?" Arthur is surprised by that question; he almost believes he heard it wrong, but Nyx's eyes are fixed on Aria's bed.
She breathes deeply and puffs out her chest, emphasizing her small but beautiful soft mounds. "So, is-it OR is-it-not?"
"Oh," Arthur begins to understand. "She is comparing herself to my mother?"
"Let's see," He comments and buries his face in Aria's pillow, feeling her scent even more intensely.
Aria's scent arouses many emotions inside him, all her love for him, and of course, it is also wonderful, a mixture of something sweet and soft like a precious flower.
Nyx bites her lips as she sees Arthur continue to rub his nose on Aria's pillow. "Is he doing this to tease me?"
He really does! And then he looks back at her with an excited expression. "Now come here, let me have your fragrance now."
"What?!" She has already kissed and slept with him, but seeing him ready to smell her makes her shy. "Can't you just remember it?"
"No!" Arthur smiles and pats the bed on his side. "Come on, don't be shy now."
Nyx simply can't; doing such things with Arthur makes her very shy, especially when he seems so excited.
Arthur knows that teasing Nyx is not the best way to make her more comfortable and confident, but he simply cannot resist the urge to see her timid reactions.
"If you don't want to let me smell you, my mother's perfume wins," He speaks in a casual tone.
"No!" Nyx exclaims mentally. She already likes Aria a lot, but she doesn't want to lose to her future mother-in-law, not when it's about being the first woman in Arthur's heart.
She has to try very hard to contain her shyness and slowly walk to the bed. Then she sits on the edge of the bed, her back to Arthur.
He opens a naughty smile and, in a quick movement, wraps his arm around her thin waist and pulls her into the middle of the bed. "Got you!!"
"Whaaah~~" She lets out a moan.
But Arthur quickly presses his body on top of hers and covers her mouth with his hand.
"If you make loud noises, my mother will hear." He says in her mind.
Nyx falls silent, just looking at Arthur with those beautiful bright yellow eyes while the smell of his hand arouses her feminine instincts.
Arthur enjoys Nyx's expression so much now, "You're like a scared little lamb about to be devoured by the big bad wolf..."
Nyx feels her body burning with frustration when she loses Arthur's touch and his strong body dominantly over her.
Then she turns around and hugs him, putting one leg on top of his. "Let's just stay like this... please."
Arthur places an arm under Nyx's neck and brings her head to rest on his chest; that way, they are very comfortable with their bodies semi-entwined.
He stays silent and closes his eyes, a bit disappointed since he had to contain his desires when both he and Nyx were getting so turned on.
But despite a little frustration, Arthur feels that this is right. "I can't disappoint my mother... not when she's such a perfect mother."
Arthur tries to sleep, and his body really needs it; the good side is that he can still sleep feeling the warmth of Nyx's body.
But before he falls asleep, she awakens him by making circles with her finger on his chest.
'Hey...' She speaks in his mind timidly. 'I need to know...'
'About what?' He asks, curious.
She doesn't respond at first but seems very hesitant, certainly due to shyness.
After a minute, she gathers the courage to speak again. "About what you said before..."
"Hmm?" He is confused. 'What exactly? I've said so many things recently.'
'You know!' Nyx exclaims in his mind and pokes his chest with the tip of her nail.
'How am I supposed to know??' He asks. 'Maybe it's about you having grown in the right places? Hehe...'
'BAKA!!!' She exclaims in his mind again and falls silent.
Arthur waits for her to speak again after another minute. 'I meant what you said to your mother... about us...'
'About you being my wife?' Arthur goes straight to the point, making Nyx tremble in his arms.
'That...' She whispers timidly. 'I didn't expect you to see me that way... because I'm not, well, a per-'
'Bullshit!' Arthur interrupts her and makes her look into his eyes. 'I said it to my mother, and now I'm telling you:'
'You are a complete woman, a perfect woman, the woman I love, the woman I want as my wife!' He speaks in a loud and clear tone.
Nyx's eyes shine brighter than ever, full of emotion and love.
'I want to!' She quickly responds and kisses his lips. 'I want to be your wife! Only yours!!'
'Hahaha,' He laughs, happy. 'Of course, my dear, we have already been acting like a couple for three years, after all.'
Nyx smiles happily and proudly as she rests her face on Arthur's chest.
After a few minutes of just smiling, she speaks again. "So now I'm your wife?"
'Mom said I have to make you my fiancee first,' He lovingly responds.
'Fiancee?' She thinks out loud. 'I like that too.'
'Yeah, sounds right...' He smiles.
Nyx falls silent and speaks again after a minute. 'Can you say that again?'
'What? I said a lot-'
'Just say it, please!'
'Okay... Love you.'
'Love you, too!!'
