"You shocked me… " Az said with a wry smile as she sat across Arkhen on a small dining table.
"My bad, hahaha," Arkhen said with augh and looked at Az. ''My gentle goddess.''
Az was in her pink pajamas with bunny designs and looked cute. Despite being 31 years old, she looked like someone in her twenties-young, vibrant, and ripe.
Az had the most gentle-type beautiful face with deep blue eyes. Her hairs were also natural light blue like a goddess of water. She kept a long-haired curtain-bang hairstyle, which suited her very much and made her look very beautiful.
Her hair turned that way five years ago when she got a blessing and awakened a superpower, which was Aqua''Rina Grace.
Just a minute ago, she was reading a book as shey on her bed when Arkhen suddenly appeared on top of her. At first, she screamed as she was startled but then saw Arkhen''s face just several inches away, which caused her face to blush intensely after knowing that it was him.
"You really shocked the world today," Az said with a sigh of amazement left her mouth.
"That''s nothing. You will see more shocking things in the future," Arkhen said with a faint smile.
"Oh yeah, I was going to invite you for the dinner. I nned to do that tomorrow... If you are fine with that," Az said as she looked at Arkhen. Her heart was beating faster ever since Arkhen came here. ''Calm, calm. I am older than him, and someone of his caliber wouldn''t even have any interest in me.''
"Tomorrow? That''s fine. We''ll go have dinner tomorrow. But I am here right now for another thing," Arkhen said with a charming smile as he stretched his hand towards Az''s hand on the table. "I am here to take you away from here."
"W-What…" Az said with a stammer with a startled expression. The pink shades on her both cheeks became more visible.
"Sister Az," Arkhen said with a grin. "I don''t have an elder sister. So, I want you to be my elder sister and live with my family in my castle. You know that floating castle, right? It''s mine."
"Elder s-sister?" Az was dazed. She felt slight suffocation in her heart as disappointment shed in her eyes. Deep down, she was attracted to Arkhen and was falling for him but hearing that Arkhen wanted to make her his elder sister…
"Ha ha, s-sure. Who wouldn''t want such a charming and powerful little brother?" Az said with a smile. She tried her best topose herself, but her smile still looked a bit forced.
"So you areing to live in the castle, right?" Arkhen said with hopeful eyes. "The academy won''t object. I''ll make sure of that. So, I hope you can teach Zoe and others whatever that''s left to learn. I will also train you with others to make you powerful."
Az nodded with a smile and said, "Alright. But before leaving, I still need to inform of this to someone. Because of that person, I was living safely in this academy, and no men bothered me. s, the previous case regarding that ancient n was beyond her. So she couldn''t help me."
"Who?" Arkhen asked curiously.
"Her name is Ruchina. She lives at the periphery on this ind in a forest."
Arkhen was startled before heughed and said, "I actually know her very well. As a matter of fact, she is also in my castle along with her niece, Sierra."
Az was surprised to know this before she nodded and said with a smile before standing up, "Then I''ll meet her there. Let me get a few things."
"Sure," Arkhen said as he stood up and walked beside her and hugged her "Wee to the family, elder sis."
Az was surprised but also hugged Arkhen, and that too tightly as her heart beat wildly. She felt very safe andfortable in Arkhen''s hug but…her eyes trembled as they became slightly moist. ''I am his elder sister now…''
Arkhen saw that Az was hugging him tightly. She didn''t wear anything in her pajamas, so her boobs were pressed against his chest tightly, ''I knew they were very soft and tender.''
After thirty seconds, Arkhen said, "Sister Az? Is there anything troubling you still? I can feel your heartbeat beating fast."
"Ahh…" Az quickly separated as she snapped out of her reverie. Hugging Arkhen invoked her feelings for him even more as she felt like she finally found what she was looking for, but s, she had to kill her feelings.
Shaking her head, she smiled awkwardly, "Sorry. I got lost in the hug because It was…um,fortable and warm. As if I finally found something I was looking for."
"Haha, of course. You are my elder sister now, and I love you. I don''t mind if you want to hug me more," Arkhen said with a smile.
"No… it''s fine," Az said with a wry smile before taking a deep breath. "I''ll just grab some books and other things."<sub> </sub>
"Alright. But no need to take your clothes. I can get plenty of clothes of any type with a snap of my finger."
…
Soon, they both left the dorm and appeared on the 6th floor of the castle.
The 6th floor had private rooms for his harem as Luna, Zoe, Evelyn, Ellie, Makoto, Dionne, Sierra, Ruchina, Haruna, and Grace were living on the 6th floor in the name. The rooms were very big, so they also decided to share them except for Grace, who slept alone in a room.
Zoe, Evelyn, and Luna shared one room.
Ellie and Dionne also shared a room.
The mother-daughter duo, Haruna and Makoto shared a room.
Lastly, Ruchina and Sierra also shared a room.
But of course, most of the time when they were in the castle they would be on the 10th floor with Arkhen.
"This way," Arkhen led Az to door no.6 and opened it.
"Wow…" Az was surprised as she looked at the exquisitely furnished room with various decorations, a big bed, cupboards, a dressing section, and all other necessary things.
"This room alone is like a house," Az said as she looked around the room. "There''s everything except for the kitchen."
"There is a whole kitchen floor in this castle," Arkhen said with a grin. "If you want to cook meals for this little brother, you can go there by using that bracelet I gave you."
''Haruna also said she will cook. Mhmm, I guess these two can cook for me while having fun in the kitchen in a naked apron,'' Arkhen thought as he internally nodded in approval. For others, he had servants of the castle to cook. But Az and Haruna can cook for him.
"Actually, I''ll make a small kitchen in my bedroom. You can cook there for me. Of course, only if you want to," Arkhen said.
"I am used to cooking my own food, and now that I have a little brother, of course, I will cook for you too," Az said with a gentle smile.
"Alright, it''s decided, hahaha!" Arkhen said with a joyfulugh.
"Okay. Then… Good night. I''ll put my books and stuff before sleeping," Az said and hugged Arkhen again for a short time frame of two seconds before separating and turning around as she walked towards the cupboards with a suitcase. She didn''t want to show her current look to Arkhen because she couldn''t hold her smiling andposed face anymore.
She had realized that she really liked Arkhen and the sparks of love also bloomed in her, but she had no choice but to kill them.
''I shouldn''t tease her like this,'' Arkhen thought with a rueful expression and shook his head.
Clearing his throat, Arkhen said in an assertive voice, "Elder sister Az. You may have misunderstood something. The thing I said previously doesn''t change just because you are my elder sister now. In the end, you are mine."
Az was stunned and did not clearly understand at first what he meant. But when she turned around, Arkhen was already gone.
"I am his?" Az muttered, a blush forming on her cute face. She shook her head and continued her work, but there was already a happy grin on her face.
''But is that really fine?'' Az thought while settling her things. ''Screw it. I''ll let my heart decide what I want.''
After putting her things, Azy on the soft andfortable bed with a happy smile on her face. ''I guess he will once again appear in my dreams as a prince in shining armor saving me from evil.''
Ever since Arkhen had saved her, she would have different dreams about Arkhen saving her and how she would fall for him every time. She quite enjoyed those dreams.
