After dispatching the two devils in a painful manner, Sam resumed his conversation with his World Tree sisters. Once done, he returned to the Azure Dragon Continent to spend time with his eternal companions.
"Of course, my Kate is the strongest, isn't she?" Sam asked the girl in his arms, her dark hair and menacing blood-red eyes contrasting with his own. He planted a kiss on her head, followed by gentle head pats.
"Yes, she is," Kate nodded vigorously, relishing the attention. She didn't understand why, perhaps because he was the progenitor, but unlike the times when she felt annoyed being treated like a child by his wives, she never felt that way with Sam. In fact, she loved being treated like that by him.
Amelia and Lenora narrowed their eyes, biting their lips at the scene. They felt betrayed seeing Kate allowing Sam to treat her like a child, something they would be scolded for when they did it.
