We set off from Senge City and traveled west. There were seven of us when we came, but only three on the way back.
Although everyone was safe and there were no casualties, it still left a sense of melancholy.
However, with fewer 'light bulbs' around, I had many opportunities to get hands-on along the way.
While Izoruti was out foraging for firewood, I took liberties with the little maid. Each time, she would look at me with affectionate eyes, making me feel a little guilty.
"Master, it wouldn't be good if Lady Izoruti came back. Ah, Master, not there." The young girl was also growing more mature.
In her current state, if she returned to the Prodia Family, she would likely be scorned by the family. After all, no one in the entire family was older than she appeared now.
Once, after an enthusiastic interaction with Lilith, I chatted with her.
"Lilith, do you still remember your original name?"
"I do, Master. But I have abandoned that name. Now, I am your Lilith, Master."
"Lilith, do you like me? If you had a chance to be free, would you want it?"
"Master, do you not want me anymore? No matter the opportunity, if it means leaving you, I will not take it. Even if it means freedom, I do not wish for it."
"Then, Lilith, if you had a choice between regaining your freedom and then being with me, or staying with me in your current capacity forever, which would you choose?
"Master, from the day I was four years old, the day you rescued me from that dungeon, I became yours. So I love my current status; you will always be my Master. I only hope you will not abandon me and allow me to stay by your side forever."
"Alright, although I might not be able to guarantee staying by your side forever, you will certainly have a place in my family in the future."
And then it was time for massages and being massaged.
After Lilith fell asleep at night, Izoruti and I leaned by the bonfire, keeping watch together.
We leaned back to back, holding hands, feeling each other's warmth.
I traced her palm and asked, "Lady Izoruti, do you like me?"
She pinched my hand.
"If you ask that question again, I'll get angry."
"Then let me rephrase it, Lady Izoruti, knowing that I am very promiscuous, are you still willing to marry me?"
This kind of question would have been a death wish in my previous life.
"Mr. Dorin, I also have a question. Please answer me first, and then I will consider answering yours."
"Alright."
"As a noble, do you think you can marry me? Even if not as your first wife."
"Yes."
"Won't you face resistance then? Your parents, your grandfather, probably want you to marry an Asura Noble, or a royal princess. Your family is so powerful. Can you decide your own future?"
"I am striving precisely so I can decide my own future."
I turned my head to face her, and surprisingly, she turned at the same time.
"We live in this world with many things beyond our control. But I want to say, all things beyond our control are due to our own powerlessness.
If I had the strength of the Seven Great Powers now, do you think anyone could stop me from marrying you?
Conversely, if you were the Water Emperor or the Water God, and you wanted to marry me, would my parents or my grandfather dare to stop you? Perhaps then, I wouldn't even dare not to marry you."
"Hmph, you wouldn't dare not marry me!"
My hand was pinched again. I quickly pulled away from her hand and pulled her into my arms.
"After returning to Yars, I might be away for a while. It might not be convenient to bring you along. But you can go to Master Leda Lia to continue studying the Water God Style. I will definitely come find you after I finish my business."
"Why can't you take me? Are you going to find that little vixen again? Let me guess. Is it that Asura Princess?"
Is a woman's sixth sense really that strong? I was indeed preparing to escort Ariel to Sharia. After all, only by ensuring her safety could I ensure my future plans.
"Ah, don't guess. I definitely have important matters."
"Hmph, I won't bother with you anymore. I'm going to diligently study the Water God Style. I'll take over from Master and become the Water God. Then, let's see which wanton butterflies dare to snatch my man. Even royal princesses will have to step aside then."
"Yes, yes, yes, you can definitely become the Water God. Then you'll be the boss of the whole family. We'll all listen to you, alright?"
"Dorin, I didn't dare ask in Senge City. What magic did you use underwater then? It had such immense power. Not only did it kill so many Merfolk in one go, but even the seawater turned into specks of light, and the explosion it created was so terrifying. It was a power I had never seen or even imagined. I feel even Master Leda Lia couldn't do it. Are you already a God-level Magician now?"
