My Milf System

We were taken back to the kingdom in chariots, but even as Eldoria’s houses came into view, I couldn’t bring myself to let go of Anna. The moment we arrived, all eyes were on her—accusing, whispering, judging. They blamed her for everything that had happened. And Anna, with her quiet nature, couldn’t even defend herself. Especially not against Lorraine, who strutted around like confidence and deception were her birthrights.

I tightened my grip on Anna’s hand. "Let’s go to my place. It’s not safe for you to go home right now. Who knows what they’ll try?"

I didn’t even know where her house was, but l felt she’d be safer at mine even if it sounded selfish of me.

She hesitated only for a moment before nodding. "Okay... if you insist."

Without another word, I led her through the bustling streets, away from the prying gazes. The whole time, I could feel the tension in her fingers, the slight tremble she tried to hide. She was nervous—tomorrow, the teacher said she’d be summoned to the Duke’s house. Whatever awaited her there, it had her on edge. I needed to make her feel safe.

The moment we stepped into my house, a warm, mouthwatering aroma greeted us. Spices, roasted meat, and freshly baked bread. Mom was cooking.

"I’m home," I called out.

The sound of a ladle clattering against a pot made me chuckle. Mom spun around, her eyes wide with surprise. "Asher? You’re back already? Weren’t you supposed to be gone for a week?"

Then her gaze flickered to Anna, and I caught the slight narrowing of her eyes.

"And not alone," she noted.

I laughed. "Mom, don’t give her that look."
