Chapter 1134 I Want To Know You Better
Iris sat beside Lux while looking at the scenery in front of her.
Eiko was humming happily on top of her Papa's head because she felt very happy today.
After Alexander asked her if she was willing to become Lux's fiance, the young lady thought about it for a day before giving her answer.
The Headmaster of Barbatos Academy didn't want to force his daughter into becoming Lux's fiance because it might have the opposite effect. After what happened to his Grandma Vera, the Half-Elf also didn't want to choose this kind of approach, so he decided to just leave the decision to Iris and Cai if they were willing to become his lovers.
Fortunately, the two ladies agreed.
Part of their reason was that whenever they looked at him, they found him very pleasing to their eyes.
The two of them had seen many handsome men, but their hearts, minds, and bodies never reacted this strongly to any of them.
Originally, they thought that the Half-Elf was using a Charm Spell on them, but after careful consideration, they deemed this to be impossible.
Both of them were nearly immune to this kind of thing, especially since they were members of Heaven's Gate. Their Guild Buffs raised all of their resistances, shielding their minds from such attacks.
The other thing that convinced Iris to accept his Father's proposal was Eiko.
The Baby Slime was very happy being with Lux, and she also called him Pa! Making Iris feel as if the Baby Slime had truly acknowledged the Half-Elf as her Papa.
Since that was the case, she felt as if this was meant to be, so she threw caution to the wind and agreed to become his Fiance.
Cai, on the other hand, had a more simple reason for accepting Lux as her lover.
Lux was her type, and for some reason, her body would heat up whenever she was near him. This was a very primal feeling that was born from instinct.
Cai instinctively knew that Lux would be able to give her strong children, which was a very important factor when it came to finding her partner in life.
Also, when she was in her Boar Form, she couldn't help but feel the strong desire to pin Lux down and have her way with him.
Cai was very ashamed of this discovery because she didn't expect that her Boar Form would act aggressively like this.
Even though she could transform into her Therian Form, that didn't mean that she was up for bestiality!
In order to calm herself down, she decided to reject Lux's invitation to go on a picnic, while she stabilized her body and heart.
Because of this, it was only Lux, Iris, and Eiko who went on the picnic, and were currently enjoying the view of the city from on top of a hill.
This was the same hill where Alexander appeared to comfort Lux after he first met with Iris and Vera in the City of Regulus.
Aurora might not be with them, but she was nearby. Her senses were connected to Iris' and she was paying close attention to the blue-haired beauty's emotions, which she would report directly to Lux through their Guild Chat.
"Eiko, do you want to eat?" Lux asked the Baby Slime who was perched on top of his head.
"Pa!"
"Okay, come down from my head. I don't want to deal with bread crumbs later."
"Kay~"
The Baby Slime obediently crawled down until she arrived on Lux's right knee. There, she remained in place and waited for her Papa to feed her.
Lux didn't hesitate and fed her a sandwich, making the Baby Slime to open her mouth wide.
"Is it good?"
"Un!"
"Do you want more?"
"Yes!"
The Half-Elf fed Eiko another sandwich, and the latter ate it with a big smile on her face.
Iris, who was averting her gaze earlier, looked at the Baby Slime's happy face before shifting her attention to Lux, who was looking at Eiko with an affectionate look on his face.
"Eiko seems to like you very much," Iris said as she took the initiative to start a conversation with him. "I also like her very much," Lux replied as he glanced at Iris with a smile. "You raised her well."
"Well, she is indeed a handful at times, but she is a very good girl."
"That she is."
The Half-Elf took another sandwich from the basket and continued to feed the Baby Slime, whose appetite returned after seeing her Papa and Mama talking again.
"Lux, can you tell me more about you?" Iris asked. "I want to know you better."
"Of course," Lux replied.
Lux told her about his adventures in Elysium, making sure not to mention anything about his childhood. He had changed his strategy a bit. Instead of trying to make them recall him, he decided to see if they could retain their memory of him.
If they would be able to do that then he could just create new memories with them, while finding a way to make them remember their past moments with him.
This was Aurora's suggestion, and Lux thought that this was also the safest route to take right now.
The more Lux talked about himself, the more he realized that he wasn't triggering Iris' headache, which was a good thing.
Iris, on the other hand, found Lux's stories quite thrilling. Before she noticed it, her right hand was already resting over his hand, but she didn't make any attempt to move it away.
For some reason, touching him like this was making her body tingle all over, in a good way.
Lux then held her hand in his own, giving it a gentle squeeze. He then continued to talk about things about himself, and the struggles he faced as he journeyed to Elysium.
Hours passed as he continued to tell his tale, sharing his lifetime of memories to one of the people who held a special place in her heart.
As the sun slowly set in the horizon, and the first stars appeared in the sky.
Lux's voice slowed down as a hint of sadness permeated his voice.
He was telling Iris about his Master's death, which was due to his carelessness.
Lux had always felt guilty about his Master's death. Although he knew that Gaap would die either way because he had sacrificed everything to get his revenge, knowing that he died because of him, still made him very sad.
Iris felt an ache in her heart, when she saw Lux feeling sad and defenseless.
In that moment, an overwhelming urge to hold him close took control of her body.
The young lady then moved to wrap her hands around Lux's head, and pulled him close to her chest.
She then rubbed his back, as the Half-Elf's body shuddered. Lux was doing his best not to cry because he had already cried so many times since he returned to Solais. It took a lot of effort, but he succeeded. Iris' touch, and her supportive words, allowed him to overcome the sadness that had almost taken control of his body.
"Thank you," Lux said as he reluctantly pulled back to look at the young lady, who was looking back at him with moist eyes.
Her face was flushed, and her breathing was a little ragged. It seemed that holding Lux close to her had an effect on her body, making her feel confused.
Seeing the lost expression on her face, Lux was no longer able to hold himself back and moved his head closer to him.
A few seconds later, he tasted sweetness.
A sweetness that made his body shudder.
Iris was surprised that Lux kissed her. However, she didn't dislike it.
Eiko watched as her Papa and Mama started to kiss each other passionately.
Being the smart baby that she was, Eiko decided to return to Barbatos Academy to look for her Manma.
On top of the hill overlooking Regulus City, the faint sound of kisses reverberated in the surroundings, making Aurora, who was watching from afar, smile from ear to ear.
