Chapter 1086 Return To Lux’s Guild Headquarters [Part 1]
As the two adorable Baby Slimes entered the Island Nation of Torstein in a "peaceful manner", Lux had returned to Barbatos Academy to finish a few things before he went back to Elysium.
Keane didn't stay for long either and immediately went to Leaf Town to catch up with his comrades in the Savage Lands.
After fighting against Rose's father, he understood that his technique was still lacking and that he needed to polish it as soon as possible.
The Half-Elf spent two days in Barbatos Academy to rest, giving Valerie, Ali, and Ari some time to convince the Dragon Empress to allow them to go to the territory of the Crystal Palace.
Valerie claimed that she and Aur were good friends now and that it would be best to strengthen her connection with the Dragon Prince which would, in turn, also strengthen the relationship of the two Dragon Kingdoms, ensuring the peace of both parties.
The Dragon Princess' mother, Empress Saphira, thought that this was a sound reason to allow Valerie to spend some time with the Dragon Prince, who was the same age as her.
In a political view, a union between Valerie and Aur would solve all the problems between the two Dragon Kingdoms that were currently in a Cold War with each other.
The Dragon King also didn't have a problem with this arrangement. Just like his wife, he allowed Valerie to visit the Crystal Palace for a week.
Of course, she would not be going alone. She would be escorted by Lady Faustina, who was the twin sister of the Crystal Palace's reigning Steward, Lady Augustina.
After getting her parent's permission, Valerie immediately informed Lux that they would arrive at his Guild Headquarters in two days.
Since this was technically a diplomatic mission, proper procedures had to be followed to inform the Crystal Palace of Valerie's arrival.
Although there was a slight delay, Lux didn't mind it too much.
"We will go to the Guild Headquarters tomorrow," Lux said to Iris, Cai, Aurora, and Adeline. "My other lovers can't wait to meet you, Mother."
"The same goes for me," Adeline replied. "I am very excited to meet my future daughters-in-law."
Lux was also very curious to see what his mother's reaction would be when she saw his other lovers for the first time.
However, he didn't forget to tell his mother about the complicated relationship he had with the two Dragon Princesses.
"Valerie and Aur will have guards observing them, Mother," Lux stated. "Right now, we can't let our relationship be discovered by their families. If that happens, things might get very troublesome."
"I understand." Adeline nodded. "I will be extra careful when interacting with them."
Vera glanced at Lux, and the latter nodded his head in understanding.
"I need to stay here in Barbatos Academy and hold the fort," Vera stated. "Alexander is currently busy in the Fynn Kingdom, organizing the manpower and other human resources. It might take a while before he returns here."
"With you here, Grandma, I'm sure that everything will be well," Lux replied.
The Half-Elf then glanced at the other ladies in the room and asked them to prepare for their trip to Elysium.
Iris and Cai would accompany them to Lux's Guild Headquarters in order to reunite with their sisters, who were on a "diplomatic mission" to strengthen their bonds with the Crystal Palace.
Of course, all of them knew that this was just an excuse they made up so that they could meet Adeline and strengthen their bond with the Half-Elf further through rolling on the sheets with him.
A day later, Lux and the ladies teleported to their Guild Headquarters in order to prepare for Valerie's, Ali, and Ari's arrival.
Since only Lady Faustina would accompany them, Lux thought that it would not be too hard to find some private time with Valerie during their visit.
If worse comes to worst, the Half-Elf could ask Aurelia to help him convince Lady Augustina to invite her sister to have an afternoon tea with her or something along those lines.
Adeline, who was seeing Lux's Guild Headquarters for the first time, couldn't help but look at the majestic White Marble Castle in awe.
"I-Is this really your Guild Headquarters, Lux?" Adeline asked.
"It is, Mother," Lux replied. "So, what do you think?"
"I think it's great." Adeline looked at the castle in front of her with a smile. "This is the first time I'm seeing a Guild Headquarters built like a castle."
Lux then pointed at the town at the base of the mountain with pride.
"That town also belongs to me, Mother," Lux said. "That is the Town of Edea. It took a while for construction to finish, but it was finally completed. There are not many people in there right now, but I can give you a tour later, if you are interested."
"I'd love that," Adeline replied. "But, I'd like to meet your other lovers first."
Lux smiled. "They'll be here by tomorrow. Until then, I can ask Emma to serve as your tour guide."
Just as Lux was about to say more, dozens of Baby Slimes came jumping out of the castle doors with big smiles on their faces.
Following behind them was none other than the Wicked Queen Slime, Lilian, whom Lux hadn't seen for a while.
"You kids are too excited," Lilian said with a helpless look on her face as she watched the Baby Slimes jump all over the place, eager to explore their new environment.
A few seconds later, she finally noticed the Half-Elf as well as the ladies beside him.
"It has been a while, Lux," Lilian greeted. "I heard about your… adventures over the past few weeks. I have to say, you've grown a lot since the time we last saw each other. Is she perhaps your new lover?"
Lilian pointed at Adeline, whose face immediately reddened after being mistaken as her own son's new lover.
Lux knew that if he didn't correct the misunderstanding, Lilian would start teasing his mother, which would further embarrass her.
"She's not my lover," Lux replied. "She is my mother."
Lilian blinked once then twice before the corner of her lips curled up into a smirk.
"So, you're fed up with young maidens and wanted to taste the charms of married women?" Lilian asked in a teasing tone. "I got to say, your fetish is evolving at a very fast rate, young man. Good for you."
"Lilian, please don't say things that will cause further misunderstandings," Lux stated. "She is my mother—biological mother, Adeline Farryn Fynn. Mother, this is Lilian. Don't be deceived by her looks. She is actually a Peak Calamity-Ranked Monster. However, she had retired from terrorizing people and had taken the job of being the nanny of these Baby Slimes."
As if understanding that Lux was talking about them, all the Baby Slimes started to jump in his direction.
Some of these Baby Slimes were newly hatched, so they were filled with curiosity. They gathered around him and started jumping in place.
"Eyah."
"Eyah?"
"Eyah!"
""Eyah!""
The Baby Slimes then started to crawl up Lux's body. Some nudged his cheeks, some bit his ears, some jumped in place on top of his head, while others entered his shirt and slept like the baby they were, with their heads resting on his chest.
