Lord Summoner's Freedom Philosophy: Grimoire of Love

Lyan reclined back on the balcony, his chest still heaving slightly from the morning’s indulgence. Josephine and Wilhelmina lay beside him, both breathing heavily and basking in the warm afterglow of their shared intimacy. The morning sun was soft and gentle, casting a golden hue over the vast horizon beyond the balcony. For a moment, Lyan allowed himself to enjoy the rare peace. The chaos of the past few days—the battles, the strategizing, the tension—had finally eased. They had won, and the city of Grafen was secure. He ran his fingers absentmindedly through Josephine’s fiery red hair as Wilhelmina rested her head on his shoulder, her face still flushed from their recent time together.

But the peace didn’t last long.

"Hey! That’s totally unfair!" came a loud voice from the doorway, startling Lyan. Xena stormed out onto the balcony, her expression a mix of outrage and playful indignation. She was still in her nightgown, her long brown hair cascading over her shoulders, giving her an almost wild appearance. Her hands were planted firmly on her hips as she glared at the trio, her lips twisted into a pout. "You guys didn’t wake me up? This is betrayal!"

Lyan couldn’t help but chuckle, his gaze quickly shifting from Xena to Josephine and Wilhelmina, who exchanged amused glances.

"We didn’t want to disturb your beauty sleep, Xena," Wilhelmina teased, though her voice still carried a bit of the exhaustion from their earlier activities.

Josephine, ever the confident one, smirked at Xena. "Besides, you’ve had plenty of Lyan to yourself recently, haven’t you?"

Xena wasn’t having it. She stomped closer, crossing her arms over her chest, and leaned down toward Lyan, her face just inches from his. "That doesn’t mean you can just leave me out like this!"

Before Lyan could respond, the commotion had already stirred the others from their sleep. Alina emerged from the bedroom next, yawning and stretching, her slender figure outlined by the morning light. "What’s all this noise?" she murmured, rubbing her eyes before noticing the scene. When she realized what had happened, her eyes widened. "Oh, you guys started without us?"

Behind her, Raine and Ravia appeared, followed closely by Belle and Surena, each wearing expressions of curiosity and mild jealousy. The two sisters, Raine and Ravia, exchanged knowing looks before Ravia, the more mischievous of the two, grinned. "Well, well, looks like Josephine and Wilhelmina were a little greedy this morning."
