Chapter 97 97: Sophia’s Departure
Raevender Territory, Month of Virgo
The time goes by, and the season changes once again. The summer heat had blown away, and the maple leaves had been undergoing color changes.
My favorite season has started again: autumn.
Many things happened in these past months, both within and outside of territory. Whether it’s big or small, any event has its cause and effect not only on my life but also on everyone else’s. For example, my clones.
A few months ago, my distant egos had achieved successful accomplishments that I have not attained. Something that I really wanted to do but am still waiting for it to come.
That’s it. Michael, Gabrielle, Uriel, and Lucy had made out with someone other than ourselves.
Michael has been dating a beastwoman guild receptionist named Nefa for some time. She has been helping and assisting Michael’s party, Myriad Wings, since the beginning of their adventuring.
And they had done exchanging their first times in their first week of relationship. I really get envious of him, to be honest.
Though the females have been doing it by themselves, they had never experienced getting laid with anyone other than themselves until that certain incident, when Elise Trandafir joined them in bed.
It started when Elise abducted Uriel; her only reason was to satisfy her craving for the blood of Uriel. Uriel managed to dominate her and ultimately conquer her body and heart.
Actually, when they did it, the Organic Domination was still activated, and Elise still had the modifications running in her veins. So technically, Uriel was banging our genetically modified daughter at that time.
After that, Elise has been meeting up with the ladies in a secluded place that they built somewhere in the empire. The empire was big, so finding it required years of effort. Elise is one of the high-ranking aristocrats in Prussilvania, so they had to play it safe.
Of course, they never forget to send me their professionally directed foursome videos. Not just those, but also the duet of Elise with each of them as well.
Elise had agreed to share a bed with me, which made me make a mental note to prioritize her after I graduate. I have not seen her yet, but I am enthusiastically excited to taste her vampiric noble love tunnel.
Though I haven’t met Elise yet, Uriel sent me a scented souvenir from her, which I added to my collection along with my mothers’ and my clones’. Mom and Gabrielle are still fighting for the record.
Then again, changes also occurred in me. Just a week ago, I happily celebrated my 15th birthday and legally became an adult myself!
Not biologically adult, though. Well, I am not on Earth, so like hell I would care about modern world standards.
My social debut was not as grand and big as my sister’s. No matter where the world, a girl’s birthday is always memorable and gallant.
Although it’s my social debut, Sister did not make it since she was studying in the academy at that time. I could instantly took her back home if my birthday was celebrated on weekend, but alas it was not.
It’s been a long time since I last saw her face in person, and I really miss her now. I can’t observe her in the academy since she told me she didn’t want to, though we still exchange letters.
I did not inform her about my status with Mom, of course. It would be a stupid move if I just revealed my presumptuous future lineup to my enemy.
But I am not the only one celebrating adulthood this year.
“Well, I really enjoyed the time I spent with this family. Although there were some pains, I managed to endure them.”
“I am very sorry about that…”
In front of our mansion, along the pathway from the main door to the gate, my two mothers and I are standing in front of Sophia, as an opened magic carriage is steadily parking behind my fiancee.
On winter, we will anticipate not only the cold winds but also the social debut of Sophia. An event that is very important to a girl is her official introduction to the public.
There was only a three-month gap between Sophia and I. So there are only three months left before she reaches adulthood, along with the cold early winter winds.
Sophia will be going back to her home in the empire for the preparation of her coming-of-age ceremony. I, of course, will definitely attend her important day because I am her fiance.
“It’s fine, Raphael. You don’t have to worry about it. I already heartfully accepted whatever decisions you had made, and I will accept your future plans as well.”
“But…”
“It is okay. I already gave you my permission, did I not? You can take as many women as you like.”
“Are you really going to accept it just like that?”
Soon after I asked her, Sophia lowered her head. She then held her hands behind her back and repeatedly tapped the nose of her right black shoe on the pavement.
“I just realized that… I cannot handle everything all by myself.” She slowly raised her head back after she bashfully answered my question.
But what does she mean by saying she cannot handle everything alone? Work? Household management? Territorial?
(Well, at least she approved my harem building.)
“If you have someone in mind, would you please introduce her to me?”
“O-of course I will!” I shiveringly gave my response to the chilly reminder from Sophia.
Actually, I already have four women waiting for me outside. Should I tell her? I think not; how should I explain them to her in the first place?
First of all, Gabrielle, Uriel, and Lucy are adventurers in the empire. I have not visited the empire for years, so there’s no way our fates crossed under any circumstances.
Unless I told her, I am the one who first approached them by coincidence.
The fourth one, Elise Trandafir, was a vampire, a True Vampire out of all. She hailed from a powerful vampiric noble clan and was a close relative of the Supreme Ruler.
There’s no way a lowly future viscount like myself could introduce a royalty to Sophia. She might lower her self-confidence and lose her authority over me.
“Now then, I have to go.” Sophia then turned around and stepped into the carriage behind her. “Farewell, Raphael.” .
“Farewell, Sophia. Until next time.”
“Until the next time, Raphael. Then she turned her attention to my mothers. “Farewell, Aunties. I will leave him in your care.”
“Farewell, Sophia! Please be careful on your trip!”
“See you on your birthday, Sophia. I will make sure to educate him to be a better man.”
Mother and Mom respectively gave their farewells and reminders to Sophia as they placed their hands on each of my shoulders, pressing their soft assets against my back.
“Thank you.” She lastly said before she shut the door. Soon after, the carriage moved and began its long journey to the empire.
The carriage on which Sophia is riding has already exited the main gate and is now outside the fences of our estate. The vehicle will be leaving the city within a few minutes.
She was not alone in the carriage, by the way. Sophia was accompanied by the five top female guards of the Raeven family, a former A-ranked party that was recruited by Uncle Steville.
The weakest of them was around Level 250 while the strongest was over three hundred fifty. Uncle also added some adventurers by quest to guard the carriage on mount.
With those forces, her safety during the entire trip is guaranteed to a certain extent.
If things went south and they encountered a powerful monster or a band of strong bandits, I could assist them via the Clairvoyance I sent to observe them. But I do highly hope they won’t encounter any problems.
Well, Sophia has been departing for her hometown to prepare for her fifteenth birthday. Sister wasn’t home either. That left me alone with my beautiful mothers for a while.
“Such a kind girl.” Mom suddenly uttered. “I am starting missing her now.”
Sophia is truly a kind and amazing woman. She went through hardships and managed to overcome them on her own. Unfortunately, some of her burdens were caused by myself.
“Not only Louise, but Sophia has been separated from our side. The girls had left, and the number of people with whom we could interact in the estate has decreased. It’s kind of sad, but there’s nothing we can do about it.”
Mother melancholically reminded us of the absence of two black-haired members of our family. Both of them are invaluably precious to me, and I am really missing them, just like my mothers are.
In response to our loneliness, I wrapped each of my arms around the waists of my mothers and pulled them closer.
“Don’t worry, my beloved mothers. I am always here for both of you.” I consoled them, tightening my grip.
“Thank you, Raphael.” They both said, embracing me back.
“Well, let’s get inside now.”
Mom said before we headed back to the mansion.
