I was sitting in the rocking chair and turned my head slightly.
— Ssshhk.
That’s when I saw Ner’s tail gently swaying as she disappeared into the kitchen.
Just a mont ago, she’d been watching over from beside the doorfra.
“...”
I turned my head again—this ti, toward the window.
— Whip!
There was Arwin, crouched over and planting more flowers in the garden again.
She, too, had been quietly watching just monts before, just like Ner.
Even if I had set my sword down... I hadn’t grown so dull that I wouldn’t notice when soone was watching .
Co to think of it, it had only been a few months since I left the battlefield.
So naturally, I could always sense the intense gazes they cast at .
If there was a problem... it was that those gazes had only grown fiercer lately.
There was a ti when I overheard Ner and Arwin having a quiet war of nerves as I passed by the room.
‘...It’ll be soon, Ner.’
‘Huh?’
‘I’ve been working hard lately. I think I’ll be having a child soon.’
‘...’
‘So when that mont cos, don’t be too surprised. Just bless us, okay?’
‘What a coincidence, Lady Arwin.’
‘What?’
‘I’ve also been putting in a lot of effort lately. Seeing Adam made want one too...’
‘...’
‘No hard feelings between us, alright? Though... I think I’ll be first.’
It was the mont when my suspicions beca reality.
Ner and Arwin were in a race—with caught in the middle.
On the surface, it might’ve seed sweet... but stuck between them, I was really at my limit.
I was losing sleep. My weight was dropping. My thighs even ached in the mornings.
Intimacy was fine and all... but everything has its limits. And we were far past them now.
It had started with nights, but now Ner and Arwin were hunting for openings even during the day.
That’s why they were watching from the kitchen... and the garden.
They were waiting for the slightest chance.
“...Hoo.”
If there was one relief, it was that Sien wasn’t participating in this battle.
When I sighed, she simply smiled and continued knitting.
In the end, I decided I couldn’t just keep sighing—I had to make a decision.
If things kept going like this, I was going to wither away.
“Ner.”
I got up from the rocking chair and called out to her in the kitchen.
“Hmm?”
Ner responded brightly and ca running to , a radiant smile on her face. Her tail wagged wildly—just hearing call her na made her so happy.
“Arwin!”
I opened the window and called out to Arwin too.
She quickly brushed off the dirt and stood up.
“What is it, Berg?”
“Co inside. We need to talk.”
.
.
.
-Thud!
I slamd the desk with both hands, my wives gathered before .
I added extra force for effect, trying to project authority. It was ti to restore the crumbling dignity I once had as their husband.
But my wives didn’t seem the least bit affected. They just kept smiling cheerfully as if nothing had happened.
Feeling awkward at their unexpected reaction, I clicked my tongue and spoke.
“…We need to set a rule.”
“A rule?”
Ner tilted her head curiously and asked.
To her, I spoke more firmly than I ever had before.
“…From now on, no more during the day.”
There was no need to clarify what I ant by “no more.”
—Creak!
At those words, Arwin’s face twisted into a scowl as she shot up from her seat.
To be honest, I hadn’t expected such a strong reaction. I flinched instinctively.
Like a cat, Arwin narrowed her eyes and whispered coldly.
“What do you an by that?”
“…”
I was montarily stunned into silence.
They say even the greatest leaders of the world live under their wives’ thumbs at ho… Was this what they ant?
Still, I cleared my throat and pushed on.
“I an it exactly as I said. Nothing during the day.”
“Berg. That’s sothing a married couple should naturally—”
“—I an, it is natural, but…”
I cut her off in a hushed voice, then, regaining a shred of pride, raised my voice again.
“It’s just too much. Even as a human, I feel it.”
“…”
“…”
“For you two, it might be once every few days, but for , it’s nearly every day. You’ve got to give so ti to recover. And now you even want to do it during the day? How am I supposed to keep up?” S̩
Truthfully, it wasn’t happening every day. I hadn’t been intimate with Sien yet. I was waiting for her body to fully recover. She was healthy again now, of course, but she had said she wanted to feel like her old self before getting close again.
And I wasn’t about to argue with that.
Anyway, I continued trying to reason with Ner and Arwin.
“We’re doing at least three loads of laundry for the bedsheets every day. It’s just too much.”
“…Then hurry up and give us a baby.”
Ner muttered from the side, clearly irritated.
I cleared my throat awkwardly and pretended not to hear her, continuing instead.
“It’s affecting our daily lives. We’re constantly watching each other for chances. I don’t want to have to worry about this all the ti. Let’s do things that are ant for the dayti. Like going on walks. Hunting together. Cooking sothing. Sothing constructive.”
“Making babies is constructive—”
“—Or, or fishing! We could go fishing!”
I quickly tacked that on to cut off Ner before she could finish.
Not even in front of the king would I have spoken so nervously.
But right now, I had no choice.
I needed rest.
My authority might’ve already hit rock bottom, but I clung to the last bits of pride I had left and asked them firmly:
“You understand, right?”
“…”
“…”
But neither Ner nor Arwin gave an answer.
At last, I sighed deeply… and played my final card.
“…It’s getting watery.”
“Huh?”
“Pardon?”
It was embarrassing to say as a man… but they were my wives. If I couldn’t be honest with them, who could I be honest with?
I looked away and spoke quietly.
“…It’s gotten watery. Maybe that’s why we haven’t had a child yet.”
“…”
“…”
They weren’t clueless. They understood exactly what I ant by “watery.”
And maybe my desperation finally got through—Arwin let out a long sigh.
“…Alright, Berg. If you’re putting it like that, then… I suppose we have no choice.”
I let out a silent sigh of relief. Ner also clicked her tongue and nodded slowly.
“If you’re going that far… fine. Having a baby is the priority, after all…”
-Thud!
Ner’s eyes soon turned toward Arwin.
“…Lady Arwin. The rule we just agreed on… you’ll keep it, right?”
“Don’t worry. I want to have a child too. Just make sure you don’t lose your senses every ti you go into heat.”
“And you’re the one trying to sleep with Berg even during the day?”
“Weren’t you doing the sa thing?”
“Alright, alright!”
I quickly stepped in to extinguish the sparks flying between Ner and Arwin.
They reluctantly turned their gazes away from each other.
Watching them, I couldn’t help but let out a dry laugh.
It may have looked tense on the surface, but I knew the affection between them had grown — it was precisely because they cared about each other now that they could argue like this.
The fact that both of them followed my lead and let out a chuckle proved it.
“Well then… I guess that settles it?”
I asked as they quieted down.
Ner and Arwin both nodded and rose from their seats.
“I’ll go finish planting those flowers.”
“And I’ll go back to cooking, Berg.”
As I watched their retreating backs, I wiped away the cold sweat on my brow.
“It’s over—”
“…”
But then I locked eyes with Sien, still seated at the table.
I couldn’t quite read her expression, so I cautiously asked,
“…What is it?”
Sien just smiled softly and shook her head.
“…It’s nothing.”
But sohow… her voice sent a chill down my spine.
“No, Berg. It’s nothing.”
****
The effect of the rule I’d set was dramatic.
Though my wives had grumbled at first… maybe they still respected , at least as their husband.
They didn’t push back against the rule I’d set as head of the household.
On the contrary, they even began to show consideration for .
“...Haa... Haa... Let’s stop here for today.”
That’s what Ner had said after we’d shared an intimate night.
Her unexpected suggestion had left blinking in surprise, like a fool.
“...But it’s only been twice?”
“You said it got watery, didn’t you?”
Of course, being with them was nothing but joy for . But recently, perhaps from overdoing it, I’d begun experiencing dull pain in my lower abdon.
So naturally, I was relieved — even grateful — for her offer.
“…Alright.”
“But Berg.”
As expected, Ner wasn’t going to let things end so easily.
“Lady Arwin better not do any more either. I’m holding back for your sake, you know.”
“…”
“Understood?”
Even with her cold warning, everything was finally going my way.
I could sleep more soundly now, conserve my energy.
Even my dry, itchy eyes had started to feel moist again.
And with that newfound ti, I was able to create richer, more aningful mories with my wives.
I’d rise early in the morning and go hunting with Arwin. We even saw the white stag we’d talked about before.
With Ner, I’d stroll hand in hand down to the village, browse through the market, stop by a tavern and listen to the bards’ songs.
The days where I’d been nothing but a beast with a swinging waist… had passed.
It felt like the right choice — and I was proud of it.
Even Sien smiled when she saw the weight return to my face.
Though she said nothing, I could tell she was happy. Happy that I was spending less ti with my other wives.
She never showed it, but she was a jealous one.
Yet, the more relaxed I beca… the more I started to feel guilty toward Sien.
I realized I’d been so busy with my other wives that I hadn’t given her nearly the sa attention.
We only really spoke when it ca to caring for Adam or checking on her health... and beyond that, I hadn’t spent much ti with her at all.
Naturally, Sien seed unhappy about it. She’d begun looking at with those long, lingering stares.
But being Sien, she never voiced her complaint out loud — always thinking of first.
So today, with a bit of free ti, I set out with a clear purpose:
To show my appreciation for Sien.
—Tick... tick…
She was knitting clothes for Adam when I walked up.
She looked up at with a smile.
“What is it, Bell?”
She set the knitting aside and opened her arms.
She wanted a hug — but first, there was sothing I wanted to give her.
“…”
Without a word, I reached behind my back and handed her the flowers I’d brought.
Her eyes widened in surprise. A soft, delighted giggle followed.
“What’s this?”
“I found it outside. It was pretty.”
Only after Sien accepted the flowers did I lift her into my arms.
Then I sat where she had been and placed her gently on my lap.
Sien naturally leaned into , breathing in the flowers’ scent.
“…You saw these and thought of ?”
I chuckled and nodded.
More than the gift itself, it seed what moved her was the thought that I’d been thinking of her while outside. A shy smile blood on her face as she gently pressed her forehead against mine.
“I’m sorry I haven’t been giving you enough attention lately.”
I confessed to her honestly.
Maybe I didn’t have to say it—but I didn’t want to gloss over the guilt I’d been carrying.
She was soone I’d be living with for the rest of my life, and I wanted to be truthful with her.
But Sien didn’t nod or shake her head. She just smiled softly and remained still.
So I continued.
“Lately… Ner and Arwin have been… kind of intense, haven’t they?”
“…”
“If not for you, I don’t know what I’d have done. I’m sure it wasn’t easy for you, either. I’m sorry.”
Sien shrugged lightly.
“That too… but mostly, you were worried about my health, weren’t you?”
“…”
“I know it was because you were thinking of , so I’m not upset. I just don’t want you to get the wrong idea…”
“…Wrong idea?”
“…”
She trailed off without finishing her sentence.
Blinking, she remained frozen for a mont.
Then she looked up at and said,
“Berg. Can you do a favor?”
.
.
.
Sien’s request turned out to be a surprisingly simple one.
She said she wanted to try fishing.
And so, here we were, out on the lake in front of our ho.
We rowed a small boat out to the middle of the wide lake.
We’d left Adam in the care of Ner and Arwin.
Given how much those two had previously fought over , it was only fair that this ti they gave Sien a chance to have to herself.
They told her to take the ti we hadn’t been able to share lately.
Sien wasn’t as forward or fiery as the others—and maybe that had earned her their quiet consideration.
I rowed through the refreshing breeze, feeling the wind cut clean across my skin.
It felt like we were drifting through a painting.
Even Sien’s smile seed to blend perfectly into this masterpiece.
A beautiful scene, once incomplete, now completed by her presence.
“Do you like it?”
I asked her.
Sien bead and nodded brightly.
“Mhm!”
That mont made realize once again—I was living my dream.
And it was all thanks to the people I loved so dearly.
Gratefulness welled up inside as I kept rowing.
Eventually, we drifted far enough that the house was no longer in view.
I tossed a tal weight overboard to anchor the boat, then began prepping our rods.
“Sien. Let’s fish here. I caught a lot in this spot last ti.”
“…”
But Sien wasn’t listening. Her eyes were fixed on the distant horizon, blinking slowly.
“Sien?”
“Bell.”
Her gentle voice reached .
“…Yeah?”
In that mont, I couldn’t quite explain it—but I suddenly felt an aura from her that reminded of Ner and Arwin.
“Do you know sothing?”
“…”
“I… haven’t really changed that much, you know?”
“What do you an?”
“I an back when we lived together in Batra. I’ve been to war, gained and lost the title of Saintness… I saw you die and co back to life… but , I haven’t changed all that much.”
It might have been a quiet confession—but my palms were already breaking out in cold sweat for reasons I couldn’t place.
“I still can’t do anything without you. When it cos to things involving you, I lose all composure. I still get jealous so easily… and I’m still petty and sensitive.”
I tried to laugh it off, awkwardly.
“...Haha, where is all this coming from, suddenly—”
—Slide.
Sien suddenly got on all fours and began crawling toward .
There was a mischievous smile playing on her lips.
“…But you know, Bell—if there is one thing that’s changed since then…”
“…?”
“It’s that I’ve gotten better at hiding it all. I can hide when I’ve lost my composure, hide when I’m jealous. I can hide when I’m angry… or hurt. I’ve gotten really good at pretending.”
“…”
“You’ve been taking really good care of Lady Ner and Lady Arwin lately, haven’t you?”
“…Si-Sien—”
“—And I understand. I really do. I owe both of them my life. Ner saved and Adam, and Arwin saved you. They protected everything I hold dear… So I held back… until now.”
—Thud.
With that, Sien pushed down by the shoulder.
I was pushed back by the force of her presence.
Sien looked down at with her usual gentle smile and spoke.
“But you know? When it’s just the two of us like this... I don’t want to hide this side of myself. Knowing that Ner and Arwin aren’t in the next room… in monts like this, I want to show a bit of my selfishness.”
“…”
“I can understand you being intimate with Arwin and Ner. You love each other. You’re married. I can even understand that you’ve shared many nights together. But Berg...? What makes jealous isn’t what you might think. Can you guess what I can’t accept?”
“...What is it?”
“...A baby.”
Her eyes sparkled.
“It was so hard for us to have Adam… So I just… I just wish Ner and Arwin wouldn’t have a child so easily. Even if it’s selfish and immature of ... I wish they’d wait a little. Maybe a year, or two.”
As she whispered, Sien leaned over , lowering herself toward my waist.
With familiar ease, her fingers undid my belt.
I instinctively reached to hold my pants—
Smack!
Her hand sharply slapped mine away.
“S… Sien.”
And just then, I understood what Sien truly wanted.
“Don’t be mistaken, Berg. No one loves you more than I do. No one wants to have you all to themselves more than I do.”
“…”
“For now, I want you to be mine. When it cos to having your child… I want to be the only one. At least for a while.”
Rustle…
In a swift movent, Sien pulled my pants down to my knees.
She smiled, satisfied.
I instinctively reached for her, trying to gently push her away by placing my hand on her forehead, but—
“It’s been so long… Don’t push away.”
At her words, my strength gave out.
It was true. The longer I’d gone without being with Sien, the stronger the desire had grown. Even if Ner and Arwin distracted , the longing to hold Sien had never vanished.
And now, she had slipped through that weakness.
A perfect strike at a perfect mont—there was no way I could resist.
“…Haa…”
Her soft sigh stirred sothing deep within . My body, oblivious to logic, responded.
In the full light of day, Sien gazed at with a radiant smile as if she were welcoming sothing long-awaited.
“…It’s been a while,” she whispered.
Words that felt far too bold for soone who was once a saint.
Yet instead of hiding, Sien embraced that emotion fully. Even now, she drew closer without hesitation.
As she knelt before , her hands gently reached out.
A chill from her fingers t the warmth of my skin.
And yet, she whispered,
“…You’re burning up.”
Her eyes, half-lidded and sultry, flickered with heat as she pressed her face closer, as if trying to absorb my warmth.
“…Ngh.”
There was a strange sense of conquest in this mont—my most beloved doing sothing so brazen, so intimate.
To act so shalessly with soone so precious…
But Sien simply smiled, as if that very act brought her joy.
Tap… tap…
Her hand began to move in slow, steady rhythm.
She looked up at , eyes wide open.
“…Bell,” she whispered.
“You have to stay soft.”
“…Sien.”
“That way… It’s harder to make a baby, right?”
Sien flashed a devilish smile. My head grew hot at the sight of her like that.
“I won’t let you go until you’ve finished at least five tis.”
She declared it clearly.
“You’ve been resting lately, so you must’ve recovered.”
“…”
I couldn’t say a word.
All this ti, I thought Sien had been considerate toward … but she had only been holding back all of this.
“Hng…”
Soon, her crimson tongue slipped out to greet .
Without even lifting her head, she began to lick my balls.
Her soft, pink lips slowly wrapped around them.
A warm yet shiver-inducing sensation climbed up through my lower body.
A shaless, wet sound echoed softly.
Even as she did all this, Sien never looked away from .
With her face pressed beneath my shaft, she looked up clearly and directly.
“Haah… smooch… hnn…”
My testicles glistened with her saliva, soaked and glossy.
She continued swirling her tongue, rubbing her cheek gently along the shaft as she devoted herself to .
Her actions felt almost malicious, as if her only intent was to draw every last drop out of .
As if nothing else mattered—she fixated solely on that.
With her teasing focused entirely on my balls, even the most hidden traces of release began to throb and stir.
The sensation was different from my usual urges—more intense and raw.
“Smooch… slrp… haah… hnn…”
Her kisses continued, slow and soft.
She treated with such delicate care, as though what she held was the most precious thing in the world.
Without a single word, her love poured through her touch.
But above all else, it was her eyes that stirred .
Those clear, focused eyes watched my every reaction—every twitch, every change in expression.
Her gaze was noble, almost serene… but what her lips were doing couldn’t have been more indecent.
“…Sien, I’m almost…”
Her overwhelming technique was pushing to the edge fast.
But even at my words, Sien didn’t stop. She just looked up at quietly and continued kissing .
Her tongue moved smoothly between the shaft and the area beneath.
I clenched my teeth tightly.
And then—thanks to her relentless tongue—I began to release.
Splat! Splatter…!
The intense burst of release spurted into her hair.
One eye flinched shut at the impact, but Sien slowly opened it again, seemingly unbothered.
The liquid trickled down her hair, sliding along the strands until it reached her face.
And yet, Sien didn’t stop.
She continued licking , relentlessly.
She kept her eyes on —serene and unwavering—as my release stained her cheeks.
“S-Sien, wait—”
“—Fffive… hnn…”
She murmured the word “five”, as if reminding of her promise.
Even after I’d finished, she didn’t let go.
It was clear she wouldn’t stop until all five rounds were done.
Maybe… I had awakened soone even more intense than Ner or Arwin.
“…Haa…”
I let out a hollow laugh and looked up at the sky for a mont.
I was happy, and yet… it was exhausting at the sa ti.
The absurdity of that made laugh again and again.
But the sound of Sien’s continued kisses echoed on, completely unaffected by how I was feeling.
“…Yeah.”
In the end, I accepted my fate.
I smiled, looking down at Sien.
Then, with a touch of arrogance, I placed my hand behind her head and nodded slowly.
“…Alright then. Let’s go with that.”
But Sien just smiled in return at my gesture.
With a joyful glint in her eyes, she began to lick even more fervently.
Maybe I was just a fool complaining while holding onto a kind of happiness most people would only dream of.
And if that was the case… rather than resist it, maybe it was better to accept it and find a way to control it.
“…Slowly now.”
As Sien beca more eager with her kisses, I gently whispered to her, fingers lightly tugging on her hair at the back of her head.
“…”
At my words, Sien gave a small nod and eased her pace.
With a long breath, I sank into her devoted attention.
And like that, we spent a long ti together… alone with the still waters of the lake
