At the palace, the first thing Earl would do was set up Saryll's work area. During this time of the day, she would be busy with other tasks, which meant it was his job to prepare things for her. Once done, he would wait for her to arrive.
On a side note, Earl's training under Saryll had come to a temporary halt due to the rapidly piling affairs of the Elven Kingdom and because of his level of progression with Spirit Magic. Now that he had a Contracted Spirit, it was his job to become better attuned to Kitsu's ability while receiving little guidance from Saryll.
After Earl finished preparing Saryll's table, he stretched his body and sat. Then, he began to read to pass the time. As of late, he had been looking into other, unknown fields of magic for inspiration and also to broaden his knowledge.
While Earl was immersed in his world of books, Saryll came into the room earlier than usual. Noticing the opportunity for a prank, she hid her presence and stealthily took a seat next to Earl.
"Boo!"
"Ah..."
To his surprise, Earl's book fell to the ground.
"Pff... Puahaha..!"
"What are you doing, Your Majesty?"
"Hehe, sorry. It was a rare opportunity."
Earl faked a sigh and dusted his book, which he picked up. "Let's get to work."
"Noo~ Look at the time. It's too early."
"The earlier we start, the earlier we finish. Let's go."
"Noo~"
After a long bout with Saryll, the young mage finally got the Queen to do her job.
Sitting in her chair, Saryll briefly read the document presented to her.
"This village is running into difficulties with growing crops. The report says that it's an unknown parasite that may be feasting away at the crops. What do you think we should do?"
"I remember the Chief of Agriculture submitted a paper on a new crop they were working on a few months back. If I recall correctly, this crop is a natural parasite repellent, so perhaps we can give it a try."
"Good thinking. We will do that."
Their first pile of tasks for the day was soon finished. To reward Saryll, Earl briefly left the room to brew tea for her. When he returned to the room, he was met with a surprise.
"..."
There was no one in the room.
Earl sighed briefly and gently placed the tea tray down on the desk before heading out.
On his walk, he would be met with many respectful greetings from the workers in the Royal Palace.
He ended up at the very peak of the palace, on top of the Tree of Life, where the fantastic green scenery generated from the tree's crown laid beautifully.
He dragged his feet and stood next to Saryll, who was quietly watching her city operate from the gaps of the leaves.
"The tea will turn cold, Teacher."
"How did you find me so quickly?"
"What do you mean, how? You're always here."
"Hehehe~ Look at you being all serious about your job."
Saryll never slacked off. Or at least before she took him in, that was. She enjoyed teasing him.
"I'll drag you back to your room."
"That's if you can catch me?"
Saryll flickered to several paces away. An afterimage briefly lingered at her previous location. A teasing smile hung on her face.
Earl let out a small smile and relaxed his posture.
"Fine, I'll play with you."
In response, Earl split into two and chased after her.
A strange chase between the majestic Queen of elves and her aid began.
The two Earls showed impressive coordination. Their footwork dazzled and confused Saryll. On the other hand, Saryll rode on the wind at a carefree pace despite Earl's excellent strategy.
Soon, Earl upped his approach and incorporated his magic into the mix. The atmosphere thickened- as if they were underwater and leaves flew to block Saryll's way.
The wall of leaves quickly did the trick, and Saryll was stuck. Then, just as Earl was confident of his victory, Saryll did the unexpected by throwing herself at him.
She let out a joyous laugh, and they tumbled through the soft field of leaves together. Earl followed her cue and dispelled his magic, enjoying the tumble with her.
They ended with their clothes wrinkled, and Earl pressed to the ground with Saryll on top. Her shadow shielded him from the glaring sunlight shining down from above.
"That was fun." He said.
"That was fun!"
"Now the tea is really cold."
"Still on about that?"
"I put a lot of effort into it."
"That's cute. Thank you!"
After a long break, Saryll returned to her work. On Earl's break, he went to a secret spot he found with Alea.
The leaves opened up, and the trees cleared to reveal a small but majestic waterfall. Alea sat with her bare feet submerged in the cool water by the waterfall's base. Her light blue hair blended in beautifully with the rapidly moving water in front of her.
Shhh...
The sound of the waterfall falling created a relaxing ambience.
Earl sat next to Alea.
"I made sandwiches today."
A line unsuited for royalty blurted out of the princess's mouth—a weaved basket next to her with a lid on top.
"Really? I'm excited."
"Before that, your payment." She said calmly.
"Oh, right."
Following her request, Earl leaned to kiss her on the lips. An elated expression momentarily emerged on her calm face, like a ripple in a still pond.
"Let's enjoy it."
"Master showed me more 'Diffusion' concept magic today! It's amazing the things that she can come up with. As I explore deeper into her teachings, I find myself more in awe of her achievements."
Alea enthusiastically spoke about her day to Earl. Her long, bare legs that peeked out of her skirt swung merrily down the stone they were sitting on.
Of course, as the son and lover of the person she was talking about, Earl found himself smiling ear to ear.
"I'm jealous. Mom is teaching you stuff before me now."
"It took me a lot of effort to catch up with your level of knowledge, okay? Besides, you're not even learning from Master directly."
Their small talk continued in front of the ever-flowing waterfall. Their laughs rang out like bells, but the sound of running water suppressed any sound from leaking out. As a result, they were entirely in their own bubble.
Alea felt entirely at ease in this place.
"Our engagement ceremony is coming up soon. Do you want anything?"
"I should be the one asking that, but if you insist, surprise me?"
"You will be my boy toy after all. Let's see, what is it that you could possibly want from me?" Alea then leaked out an audible gasp. "You bad man! Could it be that you want my body?"
"It seems like your mind is filled with dirty thoughts. I shall pray for you."
Earl clapped his hand together and closed his eyes.
The princess giggled and mounted herself on top of her lover. Her breath turned hot as she nibbled on her man's ear.
"Look, Earl. I'm not wearing any panties."
Her hand shifted aside her skirt, revealing her glistening honeypot, which was bare of any hair. Her pink lips peeked out ever so slightly, forever tempting at Earl's masculine urges.
It would take a sage not to pitch a tent against an outstanding beauty like the princess. As a result, Earl quickly succumbed to his fate but not without putting up one last fight.
"Are you a succubus? Am I in danger?"
"It depends on what you consider to be dangerous," Alea whispered tenderly. Her warm breath tickled gently against Earl's ears.
His pants became undone, and the lady became the sheath to his sword in one swift motion.
"Well? Am I dangerous?"
"Very." He kneaded away at her soft cheeks as he felt her tightening at his words.
"You are very dangerous to me too." Alea found herself blushing profusely. She wrapped her arms around Earl tightly, trying to be as close to him as possible. "The love of my life..."
An extended lovemaking session ensued. The sound of their flesh slapping echoed, accompanied by the relaxing sound of a rushing waterfall.
Back at the palace.
"Mhmm... You smell quite delicious, Earl." Saryll licked her lips. For some reason, the smell of the aftermath of Earl's love session with Alea turned her on incredibly.
"Your Majesty, please focus."
In response, Saryll snatched Earl's lips like a ravenous beast. Her tongue relentlessly attacked to fill her cravings.
"Perhaps this will make me focus for longer." She briefly said and returned her attention to her paper.
Earl licked the aftertaste of Saryll on his lips and thought for a moment. Then, his free hand sneaked under the table and firmly grasped her's.
Startled, Saryll glanced up, but Earl was no longer looking at her. Until the sun sunk into the darkness, they concentrated together with their handheld.
When it was time to separate, Saryll firmly hugged Earl and stuffed his face into her ample bosoms. She had become a master seduction, knowing all of Earl's preferences.
"Come visit me tonight." She whispered coquettishly.
She opted for this approach because of the barrier known as Lily and Aria. To her knowledge, they were even better at seduction than her. If she did not offer enough incentive for Earl, he would sometimes not take the bait and appear in her bedroom.
He spent long hours with her every day due to work. It was natural for him to want to use his free time with his family and beloved servants.
As she walked him to the door, she hugged his arm the entire way, acting like a concubine in love rather than the majestic queen that she was.
"I'll be waiting for you tonight."
The door closed.
Earl stood alone in the cold palace hall and heaved a sigh. Life was hard as a charming man.
Or not. He pumped his fist into the air. With Saryll acting like that, how could he not tend to her?
But the problem remained in his time management between the ladies. With his soon to be born child, his time would be cut by even more. As he thought of this, he found his steps lightening.
He could not wait to see Ari.
At home.
Earl found Kitsu sitting comfortably on the couch while being tended to by Lily and Aria.
Ku! Ku! (You shall not pass!)
At the sight of Earl entering, she suddenly growled.
"Hi Kitsu~ How are you doing?"
Ku! (My servants, stop him!)
The fox repeatedly sounded to Lily and Aria at Earl's greeting. Of course, the two girls could not understand the fox at her.
"Haha, Kitsu suddenly became so lively when you returned home, Master." Aria chuckled.
On the other hand, Lily came running to Earl's embrace. The small, soft body of the demon girl rejuvenated Earl's tired body.
Kuu...! (Come back..!)
"Do you want me to bring you to Master?" Aria kindly asked when she noticed Kitsu's ears dropping.
Holding the fox like a little baby, Aria brought her to Earl.
"Did you sleep all day again?" Earl rubbed her head.
Kaa... (I did...)
"Such a lazy fox. Maybe you should exercise with Lily and Aria."
Earl's suggestion lit up the eyes of Lily and Aria simultaneously.
Ka! Kaa! (I'm a noble spirit, I don't need to exercise!)
"Okay, if you say so."
Ku!
"I'll be borrowing these two for a bit, so go back to sleep." He lightheartedly said.
Ku.
Kitsu jumped out of Aria's grasp and went back to bed like the lazy fox she was.
As of late, the fox had been taken care of by Lily and Aria whenever she visited. Because of their excellent service, she became lazier and lazier as the day passed. Being the responsible(?) Master he was, Earl left her to do whatever she wanted. It was not like she had to fight in the front lines anyway.
"Welcome home."
At this moment, Ari arrived with Alea in the living room. Her gentle voice relaxed Earl's soul.
The two lady's chummy appearance caused Earl to raise an eyebrow.
"I was feeling under the weather, so we cut training short and went on a little adventure." Ari warmly explained Alea's condition.
The princess stood next to the Archmage with her hands full of bags. A beaming smile was plastered on her face. It would appear that they had a fulfilling shopping journey.
