Lilia noticed the curious expression in Eris's face and she ntally laughed.
"It seems, she will find out by her own, that's good, my darling always is the one to explain our relationship, so this is a good change in the set up hehehe".
Although Eris was dying out of curiosity, she decided to wait until Aster's family could totally trust her, which will be after they see with their own eyes that the other woman, is indeed from the ash nether clan, and is also the true evil that has caused problems in Prasil.
She unconsciously stole a couple of gazes at Aster's lower body which was covered in the bedsheet, before she left the room to wait for them to finish their bath.
Of course, Aster noticed how she looked at him, but that was normal, considering how she called herself "queen" and her past story, he was sure this was the first ti she has ever seen a man half naked… well more accurately fully naked, but half covered by a bedsheet.
"She is curious, how cute… I wonder why did she suddenly looked at and mom, maybe she already noticed our strong "family" bond, not that I'm actually trying to hide it though".
Eris was going to be traveling with them for so ti, so even if Aster tried to hide the fact that Lilia and Alice were also his lovers (which wasn0t the case), she will still find out sooner or later, so it was better for her to know it.
Aster nodded.
"It's not a life and death matter, so I guess it can wait at least until we have t the "cosmos tree" in the capital city".
After that little episode the four of them went to the bathroom, since they had to be in the capital city before midday, there was no ti to "play" while bathing, but a little chat wouldn't hurt anyone, so Aster wanted to clear so questions he had, he already noticed that Alice advanced to stellar constellation realm.
"Sis, Aria, since when can you use the abilities of the stars?", he asked while Lilia applied soap to all his body.
Alice smiled.
"Surprised? Your big sister not only beca a stellar constellation, but now I also can use the paragon body, so from now and onwards we will have matching outfits ♥".
Lilia who was helping her son clean his body, couldn't help but sigh, "we will never hear the end of this", she thought.
Aria heard Alice bragging and she also entered the conversation.
"I didn't advance yet, but I can now create Rigel's fla, so you must teach how to use it properly… in private ♥".
Aster laughed at their tries to get complinted, he used his arms to grab their waists before saying.
"You two, I don't mind a sane competition, but rember that you are both mine, so don't fight for everything, I will help you train to use the power of the stars, okay?".
"Okay", they both answered.
Aster noticed the slight bitter expression in Lilia's face and he kissed his mother.
"Mom, don't feel bad, rember what Rya said, the power or your star is terrifying so I will only be able to use it after I reach the star tribulation realm".
He then licked his lips and dragged her into his embrace, as he whispered at her.
"Taking the primordial yin is the main condition to share the power of the star with its maiden… and you were also my first so by the ti I reach the star tribulation, we will both be able to use its ability at the sa ti".
Lilia couldn't hold back her proud smile, "that's right I was my darling's first, so of course the ability of Orionis would be sothing out of this world ♥".
Aster let go of the girls before things could get out of hands, the rest of the bath was quite normal, they only used the shower before finishing the bath, the girls helped Aster dry off and he did the sa for them before they put on their usual clothes.
Once it was all settled, they went to the dining room, surprisingly Eric and also Sofia were also waiting for them, Eric saw Aster and he stood up to greet him.
"Good morning brother, I hope you don't mind us joining in for the breakfast, I thought it would be good to talk about our course of actions for the "eting", later in the capital city".
Aster nodded.
"No problems, let's all eat together, it's better for everyone to be in the sa page, considering we will be dealing with soone which has manipulated the whole story of Prasil".
They all sat down and started talking while eating, Eris was the first one to speak since she knew more of the past than anyone.
"If that woman accepted a face-to-face eting, then it's logic to believe she has a way to ensure her safety, her spirit form was weaker than until she absorbed the vitality of a lot of people, so now she must be in the genesis manifestation realm, but knowing her there will be more disgusting surprises on the way".
Lilia agreed with Eris.
"She is right darling, there are two scenarios which are the most possible to happen, first a really strong corrupted is accompanying her in the shadows, or she has already set a killing array below the capital city… maybe even both".
Aster frowned his eyebrows for a mont, but he then relaxed.
"Whatever the case I don't think a corrupted is strong enough to cause you problems mom, as for the array, spirit formations are quite strong if they are properly used, but if only a part of it is altered the whole thing will collapse, so in case it's activated I just have to vanish a part of it and the effect will be nullified".
Alice smiled.
"Besides we now have two users of the paragon body, so the protection will be doubled ♥".
Aster contemplated things for a mont before he said.
"Eris, your knowledge in "divine runes" is better than hers, right?".
Eris nodded.
"Yes, the mbers of my clan have an innate strong soul, so our specialty is rune mastering".
Eric which was just listening up to this point suddenly felt a familiar chill running through his spine, he turned to see the source of it and as he expected, he saw Aster having that threatening smile he knew quite well.
"Whoever might be that woman from the ash nether clan… I feel bad for her", he thought.
They finished their breakfast and prepared to leave, Sylas contacted Sarina to inform that everything was ready on their side, the elites of the royal guard were spread through the city in case they corrupted suddenly appeared and the protection array of the castle was reinforced by Leister and Milia.
Orson also sent information through a secret channel to all the city lords which were thrustable thanks to a soul oath, to make them be prepared to send reinforces to the capital or to defend their cities depending on how the situation turned to be.
Sofia decided to stay since her father was still recovering, and surprisingly Eric did the sa, although he always complains about her being so clingy, apparently, she managed to finally capture the heart of the battle maniac.
"Brother I won't be of any use at the battlefield you will be going, so I will at least guard your back with Sofia from here… her father asked to watch over her while he recovers".
"Also, if you get any news from Brig, please tell , Cade arrived yesterday but I still don't know anything about Brig".
Aster laughed as he patted Eric's shoulder.
"Don't worry, Sarina ordered the information gathering squad to look for him… you just focus on taking care of your "wife" hahaha".
Eric wanted to complain, but he felt an intense gaze piercing his back, so he had no option but to nod and let himself be dragged by Sofia to the mansion of the city lord.
Aster shook his head, "One day you will learn to enjoy her company my friend", he thought.
Eris nodded at Aster and then Lilia transported them, a couple of seconds later everyone appeared in front of the royal castle, where Sylas was already waiting to receive them.
"I thought the children were monsters… but apparently, it's a family thing", thought Sylas, when Lilia used her ability to bend space, he managed to discern a bit of her spirit pressure, and his back was drenched in cold sweat.
Sylas cleared his throat.
"Ahem, kid I swear you like to surprise others… when you told you all will co to the capital city, I thought you will ride in a carriage".
Aster smiled; he took the initiative to present not only his mother but even Eris.
"Old man, let present you, my mother Lilia Drage and a new "friend" of the family, Eris Lyselle, she is the one we thought was the nether vine".
Sylas properly greeted them.
"It's a pleasure, I'm Sarina's father my na is Sylas Eik".
Lilia only nodded, up to this day she has never actively spoken with other n besides her beloved son, Eris on the other hand nodded back at Sylas, but she also didn't say anything.
Sylas didn't take it personally, he couldn't feel how strong were the two new girls Aster brought, so he supposed they were above the star tribulation realm.
"Co with , that Orson brat wants to… speak with the "nether vine", before we et the other entity later".
