Book 15: Chapter 50
“Welcome back, Your Highness.”
I gave my wives a kiss on their cheeks: “Thank you, Lucia, Nier. It’s good to be back.”
I was in a bad mood after parting with Ling Yue and Liu Yue, but once I returned home to see Nier and Lucia waiting for me, I found myself in high spirits again. After all, I was technically home again. Nobody would be unhappy about returning home.
My two wives walked on my right and left side. As we walked to the Imperial Palace, I asked, “Did anything happen while I was away? If nothing happened, fantastic.”
Nier responded, “Nothing happened. Everything in the Imperial Palace has remained normal. Of course, if you were here, then it would’ve been even better.”
Lucia nodded: “The girls are very well, too. Your Majesty, you don’t have any more jobs, right? I heard Freya say that you can always stay by our sides now?”
“Not quite. After all, I’ll have to go to Troy City after some time. With that said, I only need to go once every few months. I can bring you with me, too. I think that the hot spring at Troy City is very alluring, don’t you agree?”
Though they learnt I still needed to make trips away, my two wives revealed looks of relief. They were relieved to know I was going to Troy City, so they weren’t worried despite me having to go there every quarter. Troy City was only mere days from the North. Plus, the hot springs were an attraction as I said. Even elves, who were used to bathing in cold lake water, really enjoyed hot baths.
My wives could also come with me. Once our children were a little older, our entire family could make trips to Troy City to enjoy the hot spring. We could consider it a short holiday. Therefore, my wives didn’t complain, and instead, laughed. I could tell the two of them now desired those sorts of peaceful days.
