3rd Person POV
"Mom, is Lilith going to be my sister?" Vincent asked
"Well, if it's going the way we think, then yes." Rylee answered as she tucked him to sleep
"Looks an awful lot like the black rose." Nyra commented
"Well, we're all descendants of the sun and moon gods, we're all related in a way. So coincidences like this may happen from time to time." Rylee shrugged
"I thought you guys said people should marry if they're related." Vincent pointed out "Remember the time I asked about the previous king of Zoris when he married his cousin?"
"Well, we'll explain it to you another time my son, get some sleep, we have a lot of work tomorrow." Rylee kissed his head "Besides, you volunteered to help with our work so we can finish early and go watch Perseus in the upcoming fight."
Rylee and Nyra, despite Perseus' protest, want to actually go watch their son do what he usually does outside of his training, they've never seen him perform in a high pressured situation before and this will be the first, their parents are going as well with Laker being the only one who's somewhat capable of fighting, but he isn't in his prime anymore as he's very old.
Perseus is worried that they'll be targeted because of his fame, and so to meet in the middle, they agreed to let Perseus be the one who handpicks the guards and interviews them himself, which they reluctantly accepted as long as the number doesn't exceed 5 people which should include Leilah and Ruka, so it's basically only 2 additional guards. With their money, they're already expecting Perseus to hire two 9-star level bodyguards to be included alongside the chief.
"Did the chief receive the participants list yet?" Nyra asked
"Yeah, apparently in his block, his first opponent is a 9-star holy knight from the church of the spring god." Rylee replied "Our son has a good 90% chance of losing if he doesn't use his 10-star level equipment, so either way, it'll be a fun fight to watch."

Perseus POV
I had Buddy sleep with me like usual and I have him sleep to my left between myself and Lilith in order to stop anything from going on because I seriously don't like her tone. She's not even wearing her usual nightwear of purple pajamas and instead chose to wear one of my shirts and some of her own shorts.
It's strange, I know she wears and prefers men's clothing, especially she prefers pants over skirts, but she always wears her own set of clothes, she is trying to seduce me because she knows I like the girlfriend wearing their boyfriend's clothes cliché.
"Don't worry, she won't do anything with me here." Leilah reassured "I know, but she isn't the type to ask for this as a reward, she's trying to seduce me, but I don't know her end goal."
"I won't say too much because you can detect lies, so just relax and have a good rest." Lilith responded, "You need to be up early for your morning training."
"Yeah, she's definitely planning something." Leilah immediately interjected "I know she hates being compared to me even though we have a lot of similarities, but this is the type of thing I say before I sneakily enjoy your presence when you sleep soundly."
What? She said that to me several times before...what the hell did she mean that she enjoyed my presence as I sleep? Why are you doing the 'teehee' pose while sticking your tongue out? Leilah, what did you do to me as I sleep? I'm both curious and scared to find out.
"Tsk." Lilith clicked her tongue
"Did you just click your tongue in annoyance? Were you found out already?"
"Just know that if you think this fox is good enough to hold me away, you're wrong, I can teleport him faster than he can do anything." she warned before she closed her eyes and covered herself with her blanket.
It's really hard to relax knowing that she is planning to do something as I sleep later, but I just lay down and close my eyes as I feel Buddy and Leilah snuggling up against me like what they usually do every night before we sleep. I can't think too much either since I do have training tomorrow.
*****
Later that night, I felt someone trying to shake me awake, I opened my eyes to Leilah holding me from the back in a possessive manner while Lilith is also holding onto me from the front, she was the one who's awake and is trying to wake me up.
"Where's my fox?"
"You have 2 beautiful women on your bed and your first thought is the first, what the hell is wrong with you?" she responded
" No beautiful woman would describe themselves as beautiful."
" Oh, what are you implying?"
"I'm just asking where my fox is, my body weakens the further he is away from me."
"Nice excuse. But don't worry, I've asked him to sleep in front of the door." she smirked knowing that I can sense her telling the truth "You and that fox are clingy and protective towards each just like the time he was with Trevor, you're making a good second fiddle."
"And you're making a good 3rd fiddle."
"3rd?"
"Maple takes the close second spot."
"Of course, you prefer Leilah over me." she complained
"So, why have you woken me up? It's like 2 am."
"Just my reward." she whispered as she managed to somehow separate me from Leilah and got on top of me before placing her lips on mine
We stayed like that for a while before she pulls away.
"Is that it?"
"I could have just done it in front of your family if this is just it." she replied
" No, not interested, I need my training, I can't let the chief and my grandfathers down by losing."
"Since when can you stop me?" she whispered slowly into my ears as she moved her fingers slowly across my body " I'm a goddess, don't forget that."
"Wait, what?! Leilah's here, what are you-"
"She can join in."
