Chapter 1002 If Only It Was That Easy
After the meeting between the representatives of the different factions and the Elven Royal Family ended, Aur returned to Hereswith's Residence.
The discussion lasted for a few hours, and frankly, she was mentally exhausted.
However, when she arrived at the residence, the first thing she noticed was that there were no lights inside.
The second thing she noticed was that it was unusually quiet, making her frown.
After entering the house, she sensed that all the rooms were vacant except one.
"…"
Aur pinched the bridge of her nose as she walked towards the door. She already had an idea about what she was going to see inside, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Just as expected, her sight was welcomed by Valerie and Ali sleeping on the bed without any clothes on.
Aurelia's gaze landed on their lower halves, and sure enough, she could see traces of Lux's seed on the sheets under them.
The "Dragon Prince" shook her head as she walked toward the Half-Elf who was sitting on the bed.
Ari was also there, and she was busy cleaning up Little Lux from the session that they just had.
Just like her twin sister, Ari also liked kissing things. However, the one she liked to kiss was Little Lux. Of course, the Half-Elf didn't have any complaints whatsoever.
"You look tired," Lux said as Aurelia sat beside him.
He then pulled her close and gave her a quick peck on the lips.
"I am," Aurelia replied. "I'm mentally exhausted."
"How did the talks go?" Lux inquired as he lightly patted Ari's head, making the latter nod her head in understanding.
After kissing Little Lux one last time, the Draco-Succubus laid down beside Valerie and hugged her like a pillow.
Although it wasn't showing on her face, she was also quite tired after making love with the Half-Elf, who had indulged her for six rounds.
"Everything has been settled, and we've agreed on a mutual defense treaty," Aur explained as Lux picked her up like a princess and walked towards the couch.
"That's good," Lux replied. After placing Aur on the couch, he started undressing her, and the Dragon Princess didn't show any kind of resistance.
"You worked hard, Aur," Lux said with a smile.
"I did." Aur nodded.
"I'll give you a full body massage."
"… Okay."
And with that, Lux gave the Dragon Princess the best massage she had felt in her life. Naturally, he also made sure to massage the places that his fingers couldn't reach.
Filling Aurelia to the brim, until she fell asleep in his arms.

Meanwhile in the Xeno Kingdom…
"Finally, we're back," Tristan said with an exhausted look on his face.
Victor nodded.
After the battle in the Divine Empire was over, the two stayed a bit in order to better understand the aftermath of the battle.
Only when the majority of the Factions had left did they return to their own Kingdom.
The two were still unable to believe that Aina's fiance was that powerful. Although Lux was only a High-Ranker, the forces he could command were nothing to scoff at.
Victor was sure that if he were to really fight Lux to the death, the one who would end up dying would be him.
Even though he was still disappointed with what happened between the Half-Elf and his daughter, he no longer wished to antagonize the Half-Elf, who had played a role in the destruction of the Main Headquarters of the Divine Army.
As soon as the two entered the castle, an adorable little Dwarf ran in their direction, welcoming them with a big smile on her face.
"Father! Brother!"
Colette didn't hesitate and jumped towards her father with her arms spread wide.
Victor chuckled and caught his youngest daughter and spun her around before kissing her cheeks.
"Did you miss me, Colette?"
"Yes!"
"How about me?" Tristan asked. "Did you miss me, too?"
"Of course, Brother," Collete answered. "Did you bring home some souvenirs from the Divine Kingdom?"
Tristan blinked once then twice before giving his answer.
"… No." Tristan shook his head. "Sorry, but I forgot to buy you some souvenirs."
"Boooo!" Colette pouted, which made Tristan scratch his cheek.
How could he possibly tell his sister that he wasn't able to buy her any souvenirs because the Divine City had been erased from the face of the world?
Would she believe him even if he told her?
The answer was no.
But if he told her that the one responsible for erasing the city was her Big Brother, Lux, would she believe it?
The answer was yes!
"You're back, Father," Aina said.
Aina still wore her signature emotionless look, but if someone were to pay extra close attention to her eyes, they might notice the tinge of anxiety in them.
Lux previously told her that he would go to the Capital City of the Divine Army in order to rescue his Master, Gaap.
Since her father and brother had gone to the Divine City, she was dying to ask them about the things that had happened on the Foundation Day of the Divine Army.
The Queen of the Xeno Kingdom, Felicia, stood beside Aina and gave her husband an inquiring look.
Seeing her gaze, Victor nodded his head.
"Tristan, play with Colette for a while," Victor said. "I'm going to talk to Aina and your mother."
Tristan nodded his head in understanding and held Colette's hand.
The adorable Dwarf had no idea that she was being excluded from an important meeting, but even if she knew, she would've been fine with that.
It had been a while since she had seen Tristan, so she wanted to spend some time with her Big Brother who had been away on diplomatic missions.
Victor motioned for Aina and Felicia to follow him.
He had no intention of hiding things from Aina and his wife.
The King of the Xeno Kingdom knew that this was a turning point in their Kingdom's growth, so he needed to make an important decision.
Of course, he would need the input of his daughter and his wife since it involved his future son-in-law.

Inside Victor's and Felicia's room…
"And that is what happened," Victor said. "Aina, your fiance is a double-edged sword for our kingdom."
"It doesn't matter," Aina replied. "I will always be on his side. But that doesn't mean that I don't care about the Xeno Kingdom. If worse comes to worst, you can announce that I will be stripped of my position as the Princess of this Kingdom and be sent to exile."
"If only it were that easy." Victor smiled bitterly. "Even if I were to do that, if the Divine Army finds out about your relationship with Lux, there is a chance that they might use you as a hostage to lure him out of hiding."
Aina shook her head. "Right now, they can't afford to antagonize Lux. Their Main Headquarters has been destroyed, and they have suffered too many losses. Also, as long as we don't talk, no one will know about our relationship with him."
Felicia, who had kept her silence from the start of the discussion, frowned.
"You are forgetting something important, Aina," Felicia said. "When the Beast Tide attacked us, there were several observers from our neighboring Kingdoms. They were hoping that the Beast Tide would overpower our defenses and deal great damage to our Kingdom.
"If any of those people went to the Divine Empire to participate in their Founder's Day, they would be able to recognize Lux."
Victor's expression turned grim because he had forgotten about this matter. There were indeed several observers from their neighboring Kingdoms who had paid attention to their battle with the Beast Tide.
If any of those bastards were to report to the Divine Army that Lux had helped them defend their Kingdom, they would certainly send people to investigate.
"Aina, it would be best if you kept a low profile for now," Felicia stated. "Don't leave the castle. Better yet, just stay inside your room for a week or two."
Aina nodded her head in understanding. She loved Lux, but she also loved her family. She would do anything in her power to keep all of them safe.
"I will listen to you, Mother," Aina replied. "I will not show my face to anyone. I will temporarily let my Vice Guildmaster take over handling the affairs of the Guild as well."
"Thank you, Aina," Felicia smiled as she hugged her beautiful daughter. "It will just be for a short while."
Victor sighed as he looked at his daughter.
Just like Aina, he would do his best to protect his family.
If their neighboring Kingdoms really chose to antagonize them over this matter, then he would not hesitate to fight, even if he had to fight the Divine Army alone.
