《Slice Of Life: Wife and Children`s System.》 One: The Beginning. Hospital A is one of the biggest and most famous hospitals in all of Egypt. Inside one of its VIP rooms, lies a young man in the bed breathing heavily. The young man was bald, has swollen eyes a thin face and body, and a lot of IVs inside his body. Some may mistake him for a mummy. He spent the last two years of his life in bed, receiving chemotherapy to heal his lung cancer. When he first arrived at the hospital two years ago all the doctors said that he only has 6 months left. But the young kept fighting death because his most loved one was his mother. Before dying with his sister in a car accident she told him to live and cherish his life more than anything, but she also told him not to forget about them. The young man was now remembering the last thing his mother said, with tears pouring covering his face... Fighting lung cancer was hard. "I''m sorry .....mother, sister I can''t keep my promise... I fought cancer ...for two years but no available." The doctor who was in charge of the young man for the last two years was searching very hard to heal the young man. When the young man first arrived, he told him that he only has six months, but the young kept fighting and fighting the illness. Looking at the Skelton young man in front of him, he cried. It was already a miracle for the young man to live for two whole years. But once cancer reached its stage, no more miracles can happen, only death will bring the young salvation. Seeing the doctor who helped him while all the other doctors didn''t, cry... The young man tried to ease his pain, in the last two years he felt like this doctor is his brother not a friend, but a brother. "Thank you.... for your help, Dr. Musa. I know... that you made everything..cough..... you could make.... me live more, and keep... my promise to ...cough.....my mother .... You really don''t know....cough.... how much I''m thankful... I just .....hope that next time someone... like me arrives, you will have successes in you ....cough....your research about the.... lung cancer..... My time has finally arrived... So... Don''t cry anymore, brother..." The young man kept coughing blood and shuttering to say the words to his brother. The doctor just nodded, he didn''t has anything to ease the young man who is at the death door... He can only just watch as the young man breathed his last breath ... ... ... ''what... didn''t I die? where am I? What is this place... all I can see is darkness... am I going to hell? But I didn''t do anything wrong...'' In the void... In a darkness sea, there was a floating white orb flying... It''s a wandering soul... ''won''t I be seeing my mother and sister again?'' Just this thought made him cry... But because he wasn''t in his human form, his tears didn''t come out. While he was crying imaginary tears. A cold mechanical voice resonated in his mind¡­ [Finding a suitable host...] ''What?? What''s this....'' [A suitable host has been found.] Once again he heard the mechanical voice in his mind... [Initialisation... Installing wife and children''s System... ] ''What the fuck...

If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. The second continent is Astral land known for its natural forests and its beautiful lands. Lastly the demon continent, an evil continent ruled by the demon Emperor, always wished to rule all over the world. Recently the youngest Duke of the Coldside''s dukedom, Adam Coldside has sealed demons in their continent. Astral land made a union and both fought against the demon''s threat... Both armies were led by the strongest and youngest man alive, Adam coldside. --- Coldside castle, inside the office of the Duke, a young man, with a handsome face, beautiful light blue hair, and ocean blue-like eyes. He was working with great speed to finish the pile of papers in front of him. Suddenly, he began to feel a slight headache, but he endured it. After around 30 minutes the headache came again, but this time it was much more severe... "ugh, my head hurts like hell... ahh.....ahhh" His scream resonated inside the castle. [Memory unsealed... 1... 30... 50... 80... 99.. 100%] [System activated...] A cold mechanical voice talked inside his head, as it made the headache more severe than before. that was the last thing he heard as he fell unconscious... ... I don''t recognize the ceiling above me. Oh¡­ Just why does my head hurt so much? Did I wake up too fast¡­? As my eyes fluttered open, my vision was blurred with streaks of unfamiliar yet familiar golden. As it came into focus, that beautiful and shimmering coin-like golden in my view became more and more vivid¡­ and I saw that it was the color of the hair belonging to the woman who anxiously looked down at me. "Ugh." "Are you okay Adam?". When I slowly raised my body instead of immediately replying, she supported my shoulder as I pulled myself up. Then, I saw a mirror in front of me¡­ And my breath caught in my throat. What was reflected in that mirror was a man in his twenties, his face cold and sharp¡­ He looked something like what I imagined a dandy would be, but no matter how undeniably handsome the man in the mirror was, it wasn''t a face I had ever seen before. "Dammit, my head hurts... What happened to me, didn''t I die?... What are these memories... " "So, all that was real, I really reincarnated in another world..." But, as that headache continued to burn through my temples, the memories came rushing in¡­ My name is Adam Coldside I held the position of the Duke. As for the woman I saw in the reflection beside me, she was my wife as well as the Duchess, Alena Coldside. Alongside my twin daughters, Azura Coldside and Celestia Coldside, we''re a family of four... "Adam?" "I`m fine now¡­ Alena, Thanks for taking care of me." I said while looking at her beautiful green eyes. "No need to thank me, Adam¡­" I called out the beauty in front of me with some trepidation, but it seems like her name was Alena. I need to arrange my thoughts. The conflicting memories of two lives raged in my skull. I see, so she really is my wife¡­ but in my memories, she and I didn`t have a close relationship. No rather, to be more precise it seems that I before regaining my memories. It`s because all I was thinking about is the war between The Union and Demon Continent¡­ Alena and I were childhood sweethearts, but as we grew up I put some distance between us, only because of the war¡­ "No¡­ I`m sorry. Did I collapse?" "Yes, you must have been overtired. The doctor said that you had no major injuries, however, I accompanied you just in case¡­ but, was I a bother to you? " She drew back slightly in apprehension¡­ but when I saw that sadness in her eyes, I reflexively reached out and laid my hand on her head. A caring and beautiful wife like her shouldn`t ever feel sadness. "Ehhhh...?" She screamed in surprise¡­ "Alena, thank you very much for watching over me. I`m truly glad that you are my wife." "¡­Eh!? T-that''s not¡­ I¡­ Um¡­" Alena''s face went deeply red as she stammered bashfully¡­ Huh? That''s strange¡­ We do have children together, so this level of touching shouldn''t be enough to¡­ Ah, I think I understand. Going from my memories, the relationship between us had always been something cold¡­ so if I did something like this so suddenly, of course, she would be confused. No, but¡­ honestly, she really is lovely. Despite being a mother, she still had a youthful sense of beauty that would challenge any woman younger¡­ And, how should I put it, when I saw her blush and look at her hands shyly at that slight skinship¡­ I felt something. Just as my heartbeat, a cold mechanical voice rang in my head. [Quest: Don`t hide your feelings from your Wife. Reward: Cookies Cooking Recipe. ] Seeing the new quest I remember the talk in the void¡­ Wife and Children`s System¡­ so it will give me quests and I need to accomplish them¡­ and in return, I will also be given a reward once I complete them huh¡­ "Adam?" "Ah, Sorry Alena, my head hurt again¡­ but don`t worry, I`m fine right now¡­" Getting back into action, I decided to speak with my wife¡­ "Alena¡­" "Ah¡­ A-adam¡­?" she seemed surprised As I brought my hand down to rest on her cheek, I could feel her skin react sensitively as her voice bubbled up¡­ Ah, way too lovely!! I barely managed to contain myself at the sight¡­ but, trying not to startle her anymore, I gently spoke to her, not letting my emotions show on my face. "Alena¡­ Do you love me?" "T-that''s¡­" she muttered but I decided to interrupt her. "As for me¡­ I`ve always loved you¡­ but I didn`t want to tell you because of fear that I will die in the war¡­ I`ve always left you, and we didn`t even spend our time as a family should ¡­ you know that I killed a lot of people¡­ my hands are defiled with blood¡­ and someone beautiful like you, shouldn`t be with someone like me¡­ the war is now over¡­ so, I promise you that from now on, I`ll cherish and spoil you and my Daughters a lot, and I`ll devote myself for you, Celestia, and Azura" "¡­ Adam¡­ Um¡­ Are you really not feeling well, after all¡­?" Well¡­ I guess it makes sense to be received like this after saying something so suddenly. That being said¡­ I do really want to hear her feelings. "I understand now that I have been wrong about you all this time¡­ So, I was hoping that we could start fresh." "Start¡­ fresh¡­?" "Ah¡­ I suppose words are cheap, aren''t they? In that case¡­" As I said that, I gently kissed Alena on the forehead and then pulled away, a smile on my lips. "¡­From now on, I intend to show you that I mean it." "Um¡­ Um, um¡­ I, ah¡­" "What is it?" "I¡­ I too¡­ Ah¡­ I''ve always loved you dearly, Adam¡­" Alena managed to say that, as a deep red blush spread across her cheeks. When I saw that, I made a vow. From now on, I will shower this wife of mine in love. I will devote myself to this adorable woman so utterly that the relationship we had in the past would be nothing more than a bad memory. [Quest Complete, rewards are in the system inventory.] Suddenly, a ring interrupted my thoughts, but after looking at it and noticing that I completed the mission, I dismissed it. After deciding that I would hold my wife Alena dear from now on, the next place I had to visit was a certain twin`s room, my daughters, Celestia and Azura. From my memories that were still filtering thoughts about my life, before I regained my memories. It seems that I was really an ass hole¡­ In the past, I never took much interest in my own daughters. Both would have been two years old this year, but as I searched through my memories for just where could I find their room¡­ this man, did he really care so little about them? I couldn`t remember no matter how hard I tried. The servants looked surprised as I passed by, even though they kept up their perfect etiquette¡­ No, am I really that rare a character to see¡­? "Oh? Then you are awake?" "Mm? Robert, is it?" As I was deep in thought, an older man wearing the clothes of a butler called out to me¡­ This was the house''s head butler (or rather, the only butler), Robert, who also looked slightly surprised to see me. "I was on my way to visit your room¡­ Adam-sama, may I ask where you are going?" "I was thinking of visiting Celestia and Azura''s room." "¡­Oh? My apologies, I must have misheard? For a moment there, I thought I heard that you were planning on visiting the Young Misses room¡­" "I am. Their room was this way, wasn''t it?" Although the ever-calm butler had quite the rare puzzled look on his face, he still calmly nodded when I asked him that. "Yes. It is in that direction. On another note, Adam-sama¡­ I seem to recall that Alena-sama was in your room earlier¡­" "Hm? Ah, Alena returned to her room. She wanted to come with me, but I told her this was something I needed to do alone." "Adam-sama¡­ I had heard you hit your head quite hard when you collapsed¡­ are you sure you''re quite alright?" "You are quite the rude one, aren''t you?" Well, it''s not like I don''t understand where he''s coming from. It would only make sense to worry about just what happened to a man who never showed any interest in his family acting like this so suddenly¡­ But even if he has some doubts about my sanity, it''s all I can do to speak calmly. "I merely want to love what I didn''t have eyes with which to see before. Is that so wrong?" "Nothing of the sort! Your servant, Robert, is in fact quite moved to see something like that awake in you, Adam-sama!" To be moved so easily¡­ Just how sad a life did you lead, Adam? Well, I guess I''ll have to fix his image from now on. "In any case, I''ll be returning to work after seeing my Daughters, can you wait that long?" "Yes¡­ However, right now, Celestia-sama and Azura-sama are currently taking their etiquette lessons." "I see¡­ Well, simply popping my head in the door shouldn''t hurt." "I would hope so¡­?" There was something in Zeke''s voice. But, well, for the time being, I''ll ignore it and head towards my daughter`s room. "I think It was here." I stood in front of the door. But just as I was about to knock on the door. I heard an angry shout from within. I opened the door very gently, just a crack, and I was greeted with the sight of two young girls who had fallen to the floor, with an older woman screaming at them with a fist raised in the air. Wait, they are my daughters. No, wait just a damned minute, what the hell is that old lady did to the daughters of the house!? I wanted to run in straight away, but I barely managed to suppress my instinct and listened to the old lady''s words. "You useless brats! How many times do I have to say it before it gets through your thick skull! You incompetents! You dunderheads!" "I''m sorry¡­ I''m sorry¡­" "If the mother is good for nothing, then I suppose the daughters are too! You really are unwanted brats!" "Uu¡­ I-I''m sorry¡­" Snap. Ah, yeah, I think that was the sound of something breaking inside of me. She called my daughters useless and unwanted, and my wife is good for nothing. Alright, I''ve decided, I won''t forgive you, you damned old hag. When I opened the door, I paid Celestia and Azura a quick glance before turning my eyes to the hag. "Oi¡­ What do you think you''re doing to the daughters of my house!?" "Da-daddy¡­" Celestia and Azura seemed shocked just at the sight of me¡­ but I had to ignore that for now, instead glaring at the hag in front of me. "I''ll ask you again¡­ What do you think you''re doing to my daughters?" "¡­My my, if it isn''t the Duke. I was merely educating your daughters about manners¡­" "Then, why are Celestia and Azura on the floor? What do you call those marks on their skins?" "T-that is¡­ they merely fell down." "So you''ll play dumb to the last? So be it¡­ but just so you know, you''re being dismissed without pay." It was only at that line did the hag finally begin to panic a little. "W-wait just a moment, please! Just this much is necessary for a proper educatio-!" "Silence! My house is not so kind a home that it has a place to offer an incompetent such as yourself! Never again think to involve yourself with my household. Or else¡­ Perhaps next time, I shall keep your head here?" With those words, I motioned for a passing maid to escort her from the grounds¡­ and whispered strict instructions that she not be allowed back on the property. With that sorted, I gently called out to Celestia and Azura, who were still sitting on the ground. "Celestia, Azura¡­ are you okay?" "Daddy¡­" As I drew nearer, I saw scars on their neck, painful reminders of what they had been going through until now. Seeing such a thing on the skin of young girls, whose golden hair was just like their mother`s¡­ I cursed the wretched me used to be. "I''m so sorry Celestia¡­ It''s all because of how careless I was that you had to go through so much pain until now¡­" "Daddy¡­?" At first, Celestia and Azura could only muster surprise¡­ but soon their bodies began to tremble slightly, and I could hear the tears bubbling up to their eyes in their shaking voice. "I-I¡­ When she said no one wanted us¡­ I didn''t like it¡­ But, I¡­" "Such a thing isn''t true at all. I need you, Celestia, and Azura. You are my precious daughters. That''s why, for everything up until now, I''m so sorry. From now on, I will give you all the love you deserve. I promise." "Ah¡­!? Da-daddy¡­ uuu¡­" When I pulled them into a hug, they couldn''t hold it in anymore, and I felt the tears lightly drip onto my back. As I hugged Celestia and Azura gently, I made the same vow as I had just before¡­ I will devote myself to loving them. Two: My Daughters... After Crying for a few minutes, Celestia and Azura eventually got tired out and fell asleep in my arms. So, as gently as I could, I picked up both of them in my arm to their room. ''hurting such young children like this, that damned old hag¡­'' As I was almost losing my cool¡­ Just thinking about how useless the past me used to be was making me mad as well, but I managed to bite it back down. But just looking at the sleeping face of my little daughters made me think¡­ Yeah¡­ My daughters sure are cute. Golden hair, beautiful ocean-like eyes like my eyes, rosy cheeks that made me want to pinch them but I restrained myself to not wake them up. As I felt myself turn into a sloppy mess of a doting parent... I wondered just how much of a fool the past me must have been to have neglected his lovely wife and his two cute daughters. I suppose I can''t completely condemn the old Adam since I don''t have any memories of him cheating, but¡­ the way I see it, him not paying any attention to his family like he did doesn''t make any sense. Whilst that was on my mind, there was suddenly a light knocking on the door and a person entered¡­ Looking up, I saw it was my wife, Alena. When I saw the worried look on her face, I gently rise finger to my lips as I motioned my eyes at the sleeping Celestia and Azura. As she quietly approached, her faced twisted in anguish as she looked down at her daughter. "All these bruises and sores¡­ It''s all because I didn''t pay enough attention to this child¡­" Alena said with a sad tone.. "It''s not your fault alone, Alena. The one most at fault here is me." I said to Alena while gently rubbing her back. "¡­No. It was all because I was so childish about not being worthy enough in your eyes, Adam, that eventually I began to neglect this child as well¡­ I¡­" she said while tears poured down her eyes. She approached Celestia and Azura who were sleeping soundly on the bed and begin to gently rub their heads. Seeing her gently brush a lock of the sleeping Celestia and Azura''s hair of her face with tears in her eyes... I wrapped my hands around her waist from behind in a hug... "It''s not good to dwell on what happened in the past¡­ From now on, the two of us will love them both with all that we have." "¡­That''s¡­ right. I''m sorry, Adam¡­" She apologized "No¡­ I too have a cross to bear for neglecting such an adorable wife and cute little daughters for so long. That''s why¡­ from now on, I swear I will love the both of you to the utmost." I reassured her while hugging her. "That''s¡­ as a family¡­?" she said while trembling. There was something slightly uneasy in her tone¡­ so, I responded as gently as I could. "As a family, yes, but¡­ Alena, you''ll be the only one who receives my love as a man." I said to her while giving a quick peck on her cheeks. You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. "By that, you mean¡­" she said while hiding in my chest. "I mean, as my lover." I told her. Seeing her blush and hide in my arms like a cute little kitten with a red face... Yeah... My wife sure is the cutest... Alena could barely speak as her voice was choked with tears... "I too, have always loved you" Alena said while looking at my eyes. "Yeah, me too." I said while looking at her beautiful green eyes. I wanted to say something fitting, but¡­ being the idiot that I am, I couldn''t think of anything good on the spot, so it was all I could do to gently turn Alena towards me. Alena''s happy tears dripped down my front as she buried herself in my chest¡­ she was so cute, I wondered just who the hell I was before now. How could there be a man in the world that would neglect such a lovely woman? In other words¡­ After I woke up anew, I fell in love with her at first sight. Just as the atmosphere turned right, looking in her eyes... we slowly approached for a kiss, and in this moment... "Please pardon my intrusion¡­ Oh?" After I held Alena in my embrace for a time, Robert quietly entered the room and stared at us, dumbfounded. Suddenly noticing Robert had entered the room, Alena quickly separated herself from me¡­ hmm. It did feel a little lonely all of a sudden, but being able to get a better view of how lovely she was wasn''t a bad consolation prize. "Robert, was there something you needed?" "Yes. I had something to discuss with you, Adam-sama, however¡­ Am I interrupting?" "Well, somewhat. In any case, let''s hear what you have to say for now." Having said that, I gave Azura and Celestia''s heads one last stroke and told Alena I would be back before leaving the room. "Now then¡­ what was it?" "Yes¡­ I wanted to discuss the matter of the governess charged with the Celestia-Sama and Azura-Sama'' etiquette training that you just dismissed, however¡­" "¡­Did you know about just how violent her ''education'' of Celestia and Azura was?" I said "¡­Only to a certain extent. However, there wasn''t much we could do, since it was Celestia-Sama and Azura-Sama'' request." "Azura and Celestia''s?" When I looked at him dubiously, Robert sighed slightly before he spoke. "The two young misses didn''t want to be a burden the two of you, so they hid their tears and asked us not to tell¡­ there wasn''t much we could do, especially considering how¡­" "Is that so¡­ Celestia¡­ Azura..." I felt something in my eyes thinking about my gentle daughters¡­ Managing to swallow it back, I asked the question on my mind. "The other instructors, are they the same?" "No¡­ To the best of my knowledge, only the governess in charge of etiquette instruction was this way." "I see¡­ At any rate, from now on, if you find out there are any similar pieces of garbage working in my household, you shall report it directly to me. As for the replacement instructor¡­ don''t bother yourself, I will see to employing one myself." Adam was a Duke, after all. So long as I pulled the strings of my personal connections, such a thing should be easy. When he saw that serious look on my face, Robert seemed relieved as he nodded firmly. "I understand completely¡­ Also, in regards to tomorrow''s work, if it pleases you, Master, I shall see to it myself, so please feel free to spend your time at ease with the Madame, Celestia-Sama and Azura-Sama today." "¡­That''s a huge help." "Adam-sama seems to have finally opened his eyes. Therefore, it''s only natural that I, Robert, do my utmost in order to serve you the best I can." As Robert said that with a smile, I thanked him earnestly as I returned to those three. After around fifteen minutes of talking with my wife Alena, Celestia and Azura begin to show some signs of waking up. "Uuuuuuam... Eh?.. Daddy. Mommy" Celestia and Azura both wake up at the same time, after yawning both were stunned to see us the pair father and mother waiting behind their beds. Smiling as much as I could, I said. "Good morning Celestia, Azura... Are you both feeling okay?" Both gazed up at us quietly. Since they haven''t fully awake yet, I will try to keep my voice as gentle as I can. Both nodded at the same time while releasing an affirming sound. "Mm" "Then that''s good... But for now, both of you should rest..." I said while rubbing their silky hair... "Study?" "You can always do that tomorrow... Also if you ever have something you need to say from now on, you should always be able to tell me..." I said to Celestia and Azura with with reassuring smile... "But teacher would always say... That daddy ....and mommy are always busy...and we would annoy you" Celestia the older girl said... Even though I said older, she is older than Azura with around 10 minutes. But again thinking about what Celestia said, I really should have mounted that old hag''s head on spike... But, managing to grit my teeth and hiding those feelings, I look at Celestia and Azura in the eyes. "That''s not true at all. You both are our one and only precious daughters¡­ you could never be a nuisance to us. Therefore¡­ from now on, you should rely on me. I''ll do anything for you." "I¡­ don''t need¡­" both said with a shaking tone. "But we need you, Celestia and Azura . We''re a family. Isn''t that right? Alena?" I looked over at Alena, who finally seemed like she couldn''t hold herself back anymore as she pulled Celestia and Azura into a hug. Three: A Heartwarming Dinner. But, managing to grit my teeth and hide those feelings, I look at Celestia and Azura in the eyes. "That''s not true at all. You both are our one and only precious daughters¡­ you could never be a nuisance to us. Therefore¡­ from now on, you should rely on me. I''ll do anything for you." "I¡­ don''t need¡­" both said with a shaking tone. "But we need you, Celestia and Azura. We''re a family. Isn''t that right? Alena?" I looked over at Alena, who finally seemed like she couldn''t hold herself back anymore as she pulled Celestia and Azura into a hug. "I''m sorry, Celestia and Azura... For not giving you the attention you deserve... But even if it might be too late now, I too, need you ..." "Really, mommy?" Both said in unison. "Of course, because you are my precious little daughters.." And with those words¡­ I wonder if Celestia and Azura couldn''t hold it in anymore, as they clung to Alena''s dress and tears rolled down their cheeks. "Uuu¡­ hic¡­ Mama¡­!" "I''m so sorry, Celestia, Azura ¡­ truly¡­ I''m so sorry¡­" Perhaps it was because they were mother and daughters? Both in terms of figure and personality they come across as slightly awkward at first, but the three of them truly are very kind. Reaching out my hand, I gently caressed both of their heads until they stopped crying. It''s clear to me now¡­ these two are both the type that wouldn''t easily share their burdens. The type that would let all their woes fester inside them behind a pained smile¡­ the type that needed someone to stand beside them in support more than anyone. Of course, as Alena is my wife, and I could support her for the rest of my life. But one day, both Celestia and Azura would walk their own path¡­ as in, they would marry. It would make do to be sure that the person they end up with can support them well¡­ but, in the meantime, I should take advantage of being a Duke and Celestia and Azura only being three. Even if there are engagement talks, I could drag things out until I''m sure the suitor is right for them. And I won''t ever force them to marry someone they don''t want to... And I won''t use them for my own benefits, political marriage is forbidden... Of course, forbidden by me... Actually, the thought of letting my cute daughters become someone else''s bride is¡­ of course, it pains me as a father to let them go, but it would pain even more if I caused them to be unhappy by hanging onto them forever. Since I love Celestia and Azura with all my heart, I''d have to find Celestia and Azura partners that they can truly be in love with as well¡­ "Now then¡­ what do the three of you thinking about spending some time together tomorrow, just the four of us?" As soon as they calmed down, I made a spur-of-the-moment proposal. Of course, both of them nodded without refusing but¡­ somehow, it looked like both Celestia and Azura wanted to say something more. "What''s wrong, Celestia, Azura?" "Um¡­ you see¡­ mommy, daddy¡­ I wanted to go to bed with you today¡­ no good?" "Of course, you can." I answered straight away. With such a cute girl giving us puppy dog eyes like that, of course, there was no way either of us could say no as Alena nodded quickly. Well, of course, time together as a couple was important too, but¡­ even more important was spending as much quality time as we could with our daughters, to make up for how lonely they must have felt until now. Ah, but¡­ after a quick thought, I leaned close to Alena and whispered in her ear. "Next time it will just be the two of us¡­ I promise, okay?" If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. When I said that, a slight blush spread across Alena''s cheeks, but she nodded silently. Yeah¡­ even in broad daylight, my sense of reason might be at risk if the kids weren''t here, huh? It really would be bad to develop a hobby of getting a bit too lovey-dovey as a couple in front of my daughters, after all. In And so, just like that, and from that day forward, the four of us started anew as a family. After spending some time together as a family for the first time. A maid soon came and announced that the dinner was ready... Together we walked our way to the dining room, while we were walking I picked Celestia and Azura in my Arms up through the castle. Both were happy and giggling all the time. "From now on we will spend our time together... I pick you up in my arms, play with you, sleep together, and all the things you want..." I said to the twins while kissing them on the cheek. "Really?" Both asked... "Of course, I won''t ever lie to my cute little Celestia and Azura..." I said as I kissed their foreheads. Little Celestia and little Azura''s happy giggles resonated in the whole castle, as I kept playing with them till we reached our destination... As we reached the dining room, I put The little girls on the chairs, and I seated myself between them... Little Celestia picked little Azura`s hands and brought her to the table, and waited for my permission to start eating. "Okay, guys, you can start eating.". I said while picking up the knife and the fork. After I ate some meat. I started blowing at the spoonful of soup, as I held the spoon in my hand and blew some air on the soup in it. Then I brought the spoonful of soup to my Little Azura. "Here you are, eat it Azura," I said. She looked at me, stunned. After a few seconds, she quickly drinks the soup. "Thanks, daddy. The soup is delicious.". Little Azura said with a smile and some tears in her eyes. "No need to cry, from now on a lot of moments like this will happen," I said to her while patting her head. I looked at Celestia, she was clearly embarrassed. "Does Celestia wants to be fed like Azura"? Also, I asked her, and I picked another spoonful of soup and put it in front of her mouth. "Thanks, daddy" Celestia thanked me while also crying. "What a crybaby you kids are," I said while creasing both Celestia and Azura''s silky hair. After both of them stopped crying I begin to feed them. After I blew some air on the second spoonful of the soup. "Here Little Azura. Say ah.". I said. "ehehe, thanks daddy". said little Azura while giggling. While I was giving soup to little Azura. Little Celestia was eagerly waiting for her turn. When another spoon come near her lips, she smiled at me with a cute and huge smile. "Thanks, daddy. Celestia and Azura know how to blow, let me do it. You must drink your soup, or it will get cold soon.". Little Celestia and little Azura both said. As I heard both little Celestia and Azura also ask for me to eat my heart dropped honey as I looked at their smiling face, and heard both of their giggling sounds. "But you guys must drink and eat to become big Adults.". I said with a caring look. I patted their heads and smiled while saying, Mommy will take fresh soup from the pot of soup before it turns cold. "After you guys finish eating, I`ll tell the maids to prepare desserts for us.". I said while looking at one of the maids. The maids nodded, then hurriedly walked out of the dining room... On the other side, Alena was watching our interaction with a warm smile on her face, she also picked up the spoon and filled it with soup and moved it near Celestia, as she drink it, Alena filled the spoon again but this time she moved it towards Azura, as both Celestia and Azura drink the soup from the hands of their mommy and daddy, they thanked me and Alena... I then filled my spoon and put it in front of Alena''s mouth, who in turn was stunned, she didn''t expect that I will feed her too. "Eh? You will feed me too? But I''m not a child" "I know, I just want to feed you to show my love to you, they are my daughters while you are my wife..." I explained to Alena. I begin to take turns, feeding Celestia, Azura, and my wife. "Thanks, daddy, my tummy is full". The first to finish was Azura who rubbed her stomach. "Me too, daddy". Celestia also finished after Azura. Second, after I noticed that the three, picked their spoons and filled them with soup, Celestia and Azura just said they are full, why are they filling their spoons again, I wondered. But soon after, I found out why. In front of my mouth three spoons filled with soup. I quickly drink the three spoons. "Thanks" I quickly thanked them. That family atmosphere can even warm a cold killer''s heart. Quickly, kissing my daughters, who in turn smiled happily at me and giggled warmed my heart... The three mother and the twins didn''t stop feeding me until my stomach hurt... I didn''t want to break their hearts, so I kept eating and drinking what they offered me. Soon after, the twin started feeding their mother. I also joined them in feeding Alena. A heartwarming family dinner, it felt like an eternity for me... remembering my mother and sister in my past life, I was about to cry, but I forced myself to stop, to not ruin our family time. We spent the entire dinner feeding each other, me, Alena and our daughters After a few minutes, the maids knocked on the door and entered the room with a tray filled with small desserts. After we finished dinner and ate the desserts. Celestia and Azura begin to doze off, seeing them like this, I patted Their heads and told them its time to sleep. I lifted the twins and started walking to Their rooms. Remembering their happy smiles while we were eating, I swore that I will protect their happy smiles till the end of my life... After walking for a few minutes, I finally arrived at their room. I entered the room, walked near their beds, and finally put them down to sleep. I kissed their cheeks, patted their heads, and wished them good night as I walked out of the room... Four: Morning With My Daughters. After a few minutes, the maids knocked on the door and entered the room with a tray filled with small desserts. After we finished dinner and ate the desserts. Celestia and Azura begin to doze off, seeing them like this, I patted Their heads and told them its time to sleep. I lifted the twins and started walking to Their rooms. Remembering their happy smiles while we were eating, I swore that I will protect their happy smiles till the end of my life... After walking for a few minutes, I finally arrived at their room. I entered the room, walked near their beds, and finally put them down to sleep. I kissed their cheeks, patted their heads, and wished them good night as I walked out of the room... Once I walked out, I remembered that I promised Celestia and Azura that we will be sleeping together tonight... "Didn''t we promise them that we will be sleeping with them?". I said to Alena who was walking behind me. "Ah? I forgot it... what should we do now? should we carry them to our room or should we sleep in their room?" Alena wondered... "Hmm? Okay, let''s sleep in their room" I said to Alena as I walked back into Celestia and Azura''s room. "Okay, I will follow you after I change my dress," Alena said as she walked out of the room. I nodded at her, as I too needed to change my clothes... Once I finished changing, I returned to my kids, and soon Alena returned. We cuddled with each other in the bed, to keep Celestia and Azura warm... and soon we fell asleep. And just like that, my first day after regaining my memories came to an end. --- The dark sky disappeared from the sky above the dukedom, and a familiar bright blue appeared with all its might. A yellow sun appeared in the sky, Making everyone who is bathed in the sunlight feel the warmth. *Tweet**Tweet* A small sparrow flew towards the castle and titled its head as it continued to sing its melody, soon another 5 joined it in the conversation while tweeting and chirping. *Tweet**Tweet**Tweet* *Chirp**Chirp* In the castle, inside one of the rooms. Two small figures with golden hair, a small pink nose, and red cheeks were cuddling with a light-hair young man and a woman who had the same golden-colored hair as the two small figures, while the sunlight started to slowly creep the room. Making the previously dark room brighter. The rays landed on the two lazy bums who were hugging the young man, and the woman next to them. Once the rays landed on the young man and the woman''s faces they changed positions, not the right time to wake up. It seemed they were in deep slumber... The two small figures were sleeping with a serene look on their faces, with no signs of waking up... Seems like they were still dreaming and had happy smiles... If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. The room now is illuminated with bright yellow... And at that moment the two small girls, Celestia and Azura had slight movements. They both wake up at the same moment. But once they woke up, both were stunned by the sight, they found that they were hugged by two big figures. Celestia and Azura rubbed their eyes at the same time, looking around, noticing that they are in their room. They giggled. They didn''t expect to find themselves hugging and cuddling Alena and Adam. "Mommy and daddy slept with us," Celestia said while smiling happily. Azura nodded and giggled happily with her sister. "Yesterday felt like a dream". Azura said to Celestia who was playing with Alena''s silky hair. "Yeah, we had dinner with mommy and daddy, and they slept with us"... "Ehehehe..." Celestia and Azura giggling filled the room. They played with their mother''s hair, touching her cheeks and kissing her forehead. After they finished playing. They moved towards Adam, who was peacefully sleeping on the left side of the bed. Azura, with her tiny pinky, started poking Adam''s cheeks. "Woah, daddy''s cheeks are so soft". Azura said to Celestia, who in turn started doing the same as her twin sister. They moved from poking his cheek to poking his face. Adam started frowning in his sleep, once they saw his frowning face, they giggled. Soon after, they started blowing some air in his ear, enjoying it. "Uaghhh" Adam whose sleep was interrupted, yawned. After walking up, he looked at the tiny figures who interrupted his sleep. "Hehe, daddy wake up". Celestia said while shaking Adam''s body left and right. " Good morning daddy". Celestia and Azura said as they saw Adam opening his eyes. ---- Once I opened my eyes, what greeted me, were my two adorable little Celestia and little Azura. Seeing them the first thing in the morning made my day. "Good morning my little princesses," I said, as they like the way I addressed them. "How are you now, cuties?" I asked. "We are fine," both answered. "Let''s start a new day together as a family," I said to them. Who both nodded and smiled happily at me. Such a warm and happy smile made my heart warm. "Cely, Azu, let''s wake mommy up?" I said. I don''t know if they will like the nicknames I came up with. "Cely? Azu?" They were stunned "Yeah, your nicknames, do you like it? No?" I asked them, hoping that they will like their new names. "Yeah, I love it" Azura giggled, and kissed me on the cheek. Ah, it was an unexpected attack. My heart... "Me too, thanks daddy," Celestia said while kissing me. Man, two attacks at the same time are bad for my heart. "Cely", and "Azu" the two begin to mumble their nicknames with happy smiles. Their smiles were warm like the winter sun. A smile that warms the body, mind, and heart. I reached my hand out and creased their golden hair, which earned a giggle. I approached their faces and started kissing them. "That tickles daddy," Celestia said. "We didn''t even start, the tickle had just begun," I said. I moved my hands from their hair, towards their stomachs, and started tickling them. "haha", both Celestia and Azura started laughing hard. soon, the room was filled with laughter. "Hahaha, stop it, daddy... hahaha," Azura said. I didn''t care and continued with my tickling. "Please daddy, tummy hurts... hahaha... I''m gonna pee, no more daddy."Celestia begged me. "Just a few more, and I will stop, tickling you feel good," I said. "I swear that I''m gonna pee on myself," Azura said. "big girls don''t pee on their selves". I said which in turn I earned the ''try me look'' from both Celestia and Azura. "Okay, time to stop Adam... You don''t want them to be dirty... right? " Alena who just woke up said. "Okay." I nodded, with a dejected look. Of course, I didn''t want to stop playing with my cute little princesses. "Good morning, Celestia, Azura," Alena said while kissing the girls. "Good morning, mommy." they returned the greetings while also kissing Alena. "What about me?" I asked with a little jealousy. "Good morning to you too Adam," Alena said with a helpless smile. "Good morning Alena," I said as I kissed her on her cheeks. "Let''s go to the bath?" Alena suggested. "Okay" Celestia and Azura nodded furiously as they kept mumbling ''Bath with mommy and daddy.'' "No, today it will only be girls'' bath". suddenly, Alena declared that I won''t be joining them, which I clearly understand with how embarrassed she looked. She kept glancing at me from the side with red cheeks. "Ehhh? why?" both Celestia and Azura said with a sad look. "No need to be sad, I have some things to do. so I will be going to the bath later." I said. also, the twins nodded they still looked down. "Next time daddy will join us. Okay," Alena said. Once the twins heard her, they smiled happily. "Okay, you can go to the bath now," I said. The three nodded at me and moved out of bed walking to the bathroom. The twins were jumping with happiness. They are like cute little rabbits who need to be protected... Watching them jumping and running happily, my smile turned wider. I too moved out of bed to walk to my bathroom... Five: Happy Morning. "No, today it will only be girls'' bath". suddenly, Alena declared that I won''t be joining them, which I clearly understand with how embarrassed she looked. She kept glancing at me from the side with red cheeks. "Ehhh? why?" both Celestia and Azura said with a sad look. "No need to be sad, I have some things to do. so I will be going to the bath later." I said. also, the twins nodded they still looked down. "Next time daddy will join us. Okay," Alena said. Once the twins heard her, they smiled happily. "Okay, you can go to the bath now," I said. The three nodded at me and moved out of bed walking to the bathroom. The twins were jumping with happiness. They are like cute little rabbits who need to be protected... Watching them jumping and running happily, my smile turned wider. Suddenly, little Celestia stopped and turned her head to look at me. "Now Daddy, Cely, and Azu will with mommy to the bath... Daddy shouldn''t peek at mommy like bad boys." Stunned, I raised my brows as I looked at Alena. Alena was blushing at what little Celestia said, but seeing that I was looking at her, she shrugged her shoulders as to say that she don''t know form she learned this... I stood like a rod in a daze trying to digest what my cute daughter just said. Glancing at Alena who was beside her blushing, with a red face like a tomato. Little Cely and little Azu held their mother''s hands and pulled her toward the bathroom. "Mommy let''s go quickly, Azu wants with mommy after that" Little Azura said. Both Azura and Celestia loved their new nicknames very much. The way both address themselves says it. Though it looked weird for her to follow Little Azu and little Cely like that she couldn''t say anything now because she was also dumbstruck. "Click." Little Azu pushed the door open and went in with Alena and little Celestia. Seeing them walk into the bathroom and after hearing the sound of water falling. "Sigh" I just shook my head and sighed... Suddenly he heard the cold-mechanical voice he forgot about... [Hidden Quest: Give your Daughters nicknames. Completed. Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. Rewards: Egg Rolls Recipe.] [Quest: Make your Daughters Happy. Completed. Rewards: Pancakes Recipe.] Hmm, I finished three quests. I should see the rewards I got. Opening the inventory, I found three white papers next to each other. Once I touched it, a lot of information got into my head, giving me a slight headache. I got the information about how to cook the three recipes. I will try to make it for Celestia and Azu. --- After they finished bathing the trio walked out of the bathroom giggling. The maids had already prepared their dresses in the bedroom. Little Celestia and little Azura happily ran to wear their dresses. Celestia wore a Dark blue sleeveless dress with pink roses decorating it, the dress only reached her small knees. On the other hand, Azura''s dress was red with blue flowers. They both looked like fairies descended from the fairy world. Alena wore a fully black dress, the dress covers her shoulders almost fully and flows down into a graceful plunging neckline. It''s a loose fit which gives the dress a relaxed, yet graceful look. Her arms have been covered fully. The sleeves are a tight, but comfortable fit from top to bottom, allowing for enough movement while still looking stylish. The dress'' waist is narrow, but it''s a slim fit. A bow has been wrapped around her waist and positioned slightly to one side. Below the waist, the dress widens into a ball gown-like style dress. The dress reaches down to the ground and is the same length all around. Once Adam saw her, he was stunned for a moment, the words didn''t come out of his mouth. Noticing his gaze, Alena blushed and looked down. "Stunning!", finally Adam muttered. Alena blushed even more, but she mustered her courage and thanked him, even though she became even red. "Daddy, daddy, do I look beautiful?" Azura said "Me too, what about me daddy". Celestia also said. "Yeah, my princesses are absolutely beautiful" I praised their looks. No matter the age, women like to be praised for how beautiful they are. ---- I walked near them, and give each one of them a kiss on the cheek, which in turn I received a ton of kisses. Giggling. I smiled playfully and lifted them high in the sky at the same time. "Hahaha, Woah! So high" Celestia said while smiling. "No, I will fall", Azura screamed, she was afraid not like her sister, most children don''t like the feeling of being thrown in the air for the first time, but after they get used to it, of course, they enjoy it. "Don''t worry, I won''t ever make you fall" I reassured her. Once Azu and Cely were about to hit the ground I quickly reacted and cached both of them. "Hehe. One more time please daddy!" "Oww. No more Please daddy" Celestia Laughed, while Azura was on the verge of crying. I reassured her again and give her and Cely a kiss on the forehead. "Don''t worry Azu, daddy won''t make us fall", Cely said, expecting that I will throw her in the air again. "Okay, this time hold your sister''s hand, Cely" "Okay, Daddy," Cely said. I reassured Azu, and all I got was a small ''um''. "1,2,3, heeee" I counted before throwing them again. "Oh!" "Haha!" This time, Azu didn''t scream but shut her eyes instead, she didn''t enjoy it, but feeling her sister''s hand she didn''t feel afraid like the last time. I catch them in my arms and threw them, again and again, till Azura''s Laughter filled the castle. "Haha, Again daddy.. that''s fun" her happy and warm smile, made my smile grow even wider. She and her sister didn''t let me catch my breath we played a lot, until Robert the butler came and announced that the breakfast was ready. I put little Celestia and little Azura on the ground and walked near Alena who was having a happy smile all this time while I and the girls were playing. She waves at us, while the girls who were clinging in my arms waved back at her, with their tiny little hands. The girls wanted to be put on the ground, and as they were on the ground, they ran to their mother and kissed her. Alena also kissed them back. I hold Celestia''s hand, while Alena holds Azura''s hand, and Celestia and Azura hold each other''s hands. We four walked our way to the dining room holding hands like a happy little family. We ate breakfast, and just like yesterday''s dinner, we fed each other. After we finished our breakfast, we walked to the garden. I stopped before we reach the garden. "You go first and I will come after," I said. "Ehhh! Where are you going, daddy" Azura said. "You will find out once I come back," I said mysteriously. "daddy''s acting mysteriously," Celestia said with a chuckle. "I will go with Azu and Cely to the garden, we will be waiting for you, Adam". Alena said. I left them and walked back to the... Six: Baking Cookies. After we finished our breakfast, we walked to the garden. I stopped before we reach the garden. "You go first and I will come after," I said. "Ehhh! Where are you going, daddy" Azura said. "You will find out once I come back," I said mysteriously. "Daddy''s acting mysteriously," Celestia said with a chuckle. "I will go with Azu and Cely to the garden, we will be waiting for you, Adam". Alena said. I left them and walked back to the corridor. I went back to my office, to finish the last remaining paperwork I have to do. After fifteen minutes. I just finished the final paper I had to sign. After I finished up my work for the day, I walked my way to the castle kitchen to try and make the cookies recipe I got as a reward from the system. Even though I have the information and the way to make it, it doesn''t mean that I will make it the first time. I''m already in my fourth attempt, with a lot of burnt cookies at the side. I''ve been struggling with the lack of quality ingredients in this world. Also, the technology in this world is the same as in my last world, Earth. They are still far lacking medical technology, and agriculture... So far they use magic in their everyday life. They look the same, but the difference is that in this world, Empires and Kingdoms Rule. Enough of that talk right now, and let''s go back to my burnt cookies. what did I say again? ah! Yeah, you won''t be a professional cook Even if you have a flawless recipe, to muster anything you need to practice it many times. I already burnt the cookies on the third attempt... But, in my fourth attempt, I''ve already made it. "Alright, will that do it?" But, even if there''s still a long way to go before I become fully satisfied. Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work! I''m fairly confident that at least some of the cookies in this batch will be delicious. I took one cookie to taste it, um? yeah, it''s delicious. Hm? Why I''m baking sweets like this? Obviously, for my cute little daughters and my beloved wife, I can treat them to something delicious that I made with my love and care for them. But, of course, if you compared them with the cookies in my previous world, anyone would think they don''t quite measure up. After all, I''m not professional. My priority was to try to make them look as cute as possible, but¡­ when I thought about a severe-looking father like myself trying to do cute little frosting designs on cookies, something in my heart ached¡­ Even so, I''ll have to overcome this pain for the sake of the ones I love, a trial like this is nothing, I''m the strongest person in this world, after all, and nothing can beat me, even if it''s a little cute cookie design. "Oh! Adam-Sama, are they done?" Ronald the head chef of the palace peeked over my shoulder curiously. "Hm? Yeah, for the time being at least" I answered. "Is that so¡­? At any rate, Adam-sama, since when have you taken up cooking?" Ronald asked curiously. "Mm¡­ Well, not too long ago. Can I ask you to taste test for me?" "Of course.," Ronald said. I can hardly say it was perfect like my previous life, but Ronald seemed pleased as I was asking him to test all my creations all the time. I felt a little bad about lying to him like that, but I pushed those thoughts out of my mind as Ronald took a bite. And then, he froze. His face turned deadly serious. "Ronald?" It didn''t taste that bad for him to give this kind of reaction, right? I thought while calling Ronald. "Adam-Sama can you please teach me the recipe for this?... Ronald suddenly asked. which I don''t mind. "I don''t mind, but can you tell how they tasted first," Even though I now know the answer... after feeling like there''d be a ghastly reckoning should I refuse Ronald here, I steeled my expression and asked him. "They''re, well¡­ they''re incredibly delicious. Honestly, just what means did you use to make something so unbelievably tasteful?" "Well¡­ love, I suppose?" I couldn''t say I was just following a recipe I got from the system... but somehow Ronald seemed convinced with my answer. "I see... so after all, the reason really is because you have close with your lady Alena-Sama, daughters Celestia-Sama, and Alena-Sama, right Adam-Sama," Ronald said. "haha... well, I guess?" I felt the beginnings of cold sweat on my brow. but, it''s not as if he''s wrong. Recently, the atmosphere in the Coldside household has been completely different. Up until now, the relationship between the duke of the household, Adam, and his wife Alena and daughters Celestia and Azura had seemed frigid and forlorn, and that heavy atmosphere affected the atmosphere of the house. But now, After Adam won the war his cold Personality had changed into mine, our relationship has changed and it feels as if everyone in the household is walking around with a massive weight off their shoulders. Well, of course, the reason is just that I began to truly treat those three like a family compared to before, but¡­ in the beginning, I have to say the stupefied faces of the servants as they watched my behavior change was pretty funny to see. Eventually, I got used to it¡­ however, it seems like lately the amount of servants that are smiling at me as I pass by is growing. "That''s right¡­ There''s another dish I wanted to try cooking, but¡­ can I ask for your help?" I said to Ronald who was still standing in front of me. "Of course, you can! Then, you can tell me the recipe for those cookies later." Ronald answered with great enthusiasm. "Yeah¡­ but for the time being, I''d like to invite those three to have tea with me, so I''ll be back later," I said. With that, I left the kitchen. Alongside Ronald, there should be a lot more opportunities to collaborate and try and work on the egg rolls I received from my system, but¡­ at that time, Alena, Azura, and Celestia were the only three people on my mind. Seven: My Daughters Angry Face Is The Cutest!!! "Yeah¡­ but for the time being, I''d like to invite those three to have tea with me, so I''ll be back later," I said. With that, I left the kitchen. Alongside Ronald, there should be a lot more opportunities to collaborate and try and work on the egg rolls I received from my system, but¡­ at that time, Alena, Azura, and Celestia were the only people on my mind. As I left the kitchen, I headed toward the garden. I rushed to the garden to see my cute Azura and Celestia. the garden helps me relax a lot after the stress of managing the dukedom. the garden is an ornate field of grass surrounded by luxurious hedges, flower bushes, and shrubs. A fountain stands in the back right of the garden, offering a gentle, tickling sound of water. The flowers and plants are pretty much overgrown, taken over by the others, bigger plants; they''re a pit stop for bees. The hedges, flower bushes, and shrubs reach 1.8m high, but they have the potential to grow far bigger. A path of marble stones loops around the garden, leading people through the garden, and making sure all the best spots are marked. Plants, grass, and roots are seemingly content with their positions in the garden, none trying to reach beyond, at least not yet. The fountain is the centerpiece of this garden, and therefore the most appealing part. The flowers and plants certainly attract attention too, and the hedges, flower bushes, and shrubs make sure they''re paid attention to as well, but you just can''t compete with the fountain, and if you look at the sky where the clouds are like cotton candy floating in the blue sky, and the sun shines as baby fairies whisper and chat. At the fountain, there were two girls, who were running happily, and a young woman who was running after them. "Hehe, you can''t catch me, mommy," Azura said while giggling. "I''m here mommy, catch me if you can," Celestia said while standing in front of Alena who was panting, she was out of breath. Even if she wasn''t, I don''t think she can catch either Celestia or Azura with that long dress. "Cely, Azu" I stopped my tracks in the middle as I called my daughters. "Daddy... You''re back!" Azu shouted happily as she ran to me. "Daddy, come and play with us," Celestia said, she also ran toward me. Once both were at a small distance from me, they happily threw themselves at my chest. I hugged them both and threw them in the air like in the morning, and I got a few giggles. "Horayyyyy! so high!... hehe" Both shouted. After they got down I kissed their foreheads and soft cheeks. If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it. "Your kiss tickles daddy" Little Cely said as she smiled happily. "Okay, let''s go to where mommy is". I said while hugging little Celestia and little Azura who were smiling happily and giving me a peck on my cheek. Cute! "Mommy!" Azura called out to Alena who had just sat at the table chair in front of the fountain, she smiled at us with her motherly smile. I put Azura and Celestia on the chairs while I sat beside my wife. "Where did you go?" Alena asked. "I went to the kitchen to bake some cookies so we can enjoy them while drinking some tea," I answered her honestly. "Woah! Daddy made us some cookies" Celestia and Azura cheered. "If you liked the cookies I baked I will do it again, I will also try to bake other things in the future," I said, patting and tussling their heads. Ah, stroking her hair feels good¡­ This really is what it means to be a father and daughter, isn''t it? Feeling my face go slack in happiness as I kept rubbing their heads, lost in their cuteness, suddenly a slightly sulky Alena pinched my sleeve so I took my hand away. "Do you want me to pat your head" I leaned over and whispered in her ear? She nodded and turned red from ear to ear. Ah! My wife sure is the cutest. I raised my right arm and began to pat her head. She smiled and giggled like a little girl, getting this happy just from a pat, my wife sure is the simplest woman. After giving patting her head, Celestia and Azura began to pout, they two wanted my attention and patting. Having cute daughters and an adorable wife sure I the hardest, but I enjoy it as much. Alena began to per Celestia and Azura''s heads herself. Both Celestia and Azura looked ready to burst with happiness... they already burst with happiness after receiving Alena''s motherly love. Looking at Alena who smiled at them gently, made my heart feel the warmth of a true family. Yeah... My wife and daughters sure are the cutest. And at this moment I made a new vow, I will protect that moment and these smiling faces with all I got, not like there''s any person in this world who can threaten me... Suppressing my doting and fatherly instincts, I called the maid to bring the cookies I baked and tea. As a maid arrived to set out tea and the cookies I had made earlier in front of them, I called out to those three. "I tried my hand at baking some cookies¡­ would you like to try some?" I said a little nervous. "Daddy, did you really make this, cute!!!" Celestia said, as she looked at the cute designs I suffered while making, she especially liked the kitten design. "That''s too cute to be eaten, daddy!!!" Azura exclaimed as she liked the rabbit cookie design more. They had little stars in their eyes. Azura put the Rabbit design on her plate while Celestia put the kitten one. Both started playing with them, not wanting to eat them. On the other hand, Alena loved all the designs I made. She put every design I baked on her plate as she started digging. "D-delicious, I didn''t taste something, this delicious in my whole life," Alena said she liked the cookies very much, as she started munching the cookies like a little rabbit. Cute! Suppressing my beast instincts, not to jump at her right now, I turned my sight to Celestia and Azura, as they were still playing with the cookies. If they looked at me right now, they will be afraid, as I had an evil grin on my face. I decided to tease my little angels. I reached out my hand toward their plates as I stole the cookies they had on their plates and ate them. "No, my rabbit/kitten cookie," Both Celestia and Azura cried, tears dripping down. I didn''t think that doing this, would make them cry... "Here, here. Don''t cry, there''s still more" I tried my hardest to console them. "Bad Daddy," Azura said with a pout and turned her head to the side. "Yeah, daddy is an Evil daddy," Celestia said with a cute angry face. Adorable! I shouldn''t think about how their angry and pouting faces look cute, it isn''t the right time... Me and my child prank. I suddenly became a villain in the eyes of my daughters. I turned my head in Alena''s direction. who gave me a ''you are on your own and you reap what you sow'' look... In turn, I whispered in her ear... ''Tonight you will be punished''... Her face turned red from embarrassment... Alright... How can I console them now?... Eight: Playing Hide And Seek. As Alena didn`t want to help... I guess I will be on my own, sigh... "Cely, Azu... Please don`t be angry, okay?" I said while patting their heads. "You know, I was just joking, there are still many rabbit and kitten cookies..." I said while filling their plates with as much as I could with cookies... Both looked at their plates and smiled happily, but they didn`t look at me... They are still angry... What should I do? I will try my best... "Can you not be angry at me anymore? I won`t do it again..." I said with an apologetic face... "Will you promise that you won`t eat our cookies again?" Celestia finally decided to speak to me. "Yea, I promise..." I said with a righteous face. "You won`t be angry at me right?" "If daddy won`t eat Azura`s cookie again, Azura won`t be angry at daddy" Azura declared. "Yea, yea¡­ Thanks for forgiving me, sweetie¡­" I said as I begin to crease their heads, and kissing their foreheads¡­ "Okay, let`s finish eating and start playing together¡­ we have the whole day," I said smiling. "Okay, daddy." Celestia and Azura said, as they begin to eat their cookies, even though they were so sad¡­ "I`m sorry, mister rabbit I have to eat you," Azura apologized to her cookies, as she began to eat the cookies on her plate¡­ "It`s yummy daddy," Celestia said, as she munched her first kitten cookie. "Is that so, then I`m glad¡­ I made it, especially for you." I felt a wave of relief wash over me as I heard them say that¡­ as I watched the mother and daughters trio eating so happily, I sipped my tea in satisfaction. "Daddy, aren`t you going to eat any?" Celestia said, as she noticed that I didn`t eat any, what a good daughter I have. "Ah, just seeing you eat is filling me enough.'' Alena blushed from ear to ear as I said that¡­ As usual, I was overwhelmed by the urge to pamper my ludicrously adorable wife, but since Celestia and Azura were her, I had to suppress my beastly instincts¡­ I had turned my mind to steel and endured it for the time being¡­ maybe tonight Celestia and Azura will get another sibling¡­ who knows¡­ It''ll be okay¡­ I''m a perfect gentleman¡­ What''s more, Alena won''t be able to stand the shame if I did something in front of our daughters¡­ but, still, just imagine if Alena was maybe a little ashamed but didn''t actually hate it after all¡­ No! Endure it! Without knowing about my deep internal conflict, Azura and Celestia finished eating the cookies and then, as they took another one, thought about something and then held it out. "Daddy¡­ say ahhh", Celestia and Azura offered a cookie, with their tiny little hands¡­ I can`t refuse the kindness my daughters` have, so I ate the cookies they offered¡­ "Hehe," both become happy and smiled from ear to ear. Somehow, it seemed like Alena was inspired by her daughter, and also held out a cookie to me with a trembling hand. "A-adam¡­ Aa.ah" Alena said with an embarrassed look. It`s not like her first time feeding me or anything, I want to eat her not the cookies she offered¡­ dammit, suppressing the urge to lift her and walk to our room to do the deed becoming harder with every passing minute¡­ Critical hit¡­ Both my wife and daughter feeding me like this, I`ve never been so happy since my memories got unsealed¡­ but honestly, now that I think more about it, the past me that ignored that an adorable wife and cute little daughters must not have been human, he was a demon¡­ Yep, I`ve decided that. Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. Just like that, our tea time passed peacefully. Celestia, Azura''s cuteness, and Alena''s adorable brand of beauty and blushing faces will give me a heart attack, I don`t think I will find resistance to cuteness. Well, it was an utterly exquisite thing to behold, and needless to say, I secretly made a vow to myself that we would have regular tea parties like this from now on. "Okay, let''s play any game my daughters want," I said after the maids come to clean the table. "Yey," Both Celestia and Azura cheerfully yelled. "Let`s play hide and seek daddy, and daddy, you`ll be the seeker¡­" Azura declared. "Okay," I said, as I turned my head to look at Alena. "Will you play with us?" I said to Alena "Sorry, I`m tired¡­ I`ll be watching from under the tree¡­" Alena said apologetically. She walked near a big tree, while a maid come and spread a white sheet on the grass to make Alena sit down. "Okay guys, only us will play today, because mommy is tired¡­" I said to the girls who became sad¡­ "Why?" Azura asked with her head down, and tears begin to threaten to pour down her eyes, the same for little Celestia. "Didn`t mommy just play with you before the tea party? So, mommy became tired and she can`t play today, the next time we play, I`ll make mommy play with us¡­ Is that okay?" I said, explaining slowly to make them understand¡­ "Um!" Celestia and Azura both nodded, and raised their heads. "Next time you will play with us, okay mommy?" Celestia said, not wanting a no for an answer¡­ "Of course, mommy will join you the next time you play¡­" Alena said with her motherly smile, which made her more beautiful. "Now, Azu and Cely need to hide, when I reach 100, I will begin to search for you¡­" I said to make the gloomy atmosphere vanish, which indeed vanished once I said that¡­ "Okay, Cely and Azu will now hide¡­ daddy you need to look the other way so we can hide¡­" Celestia said with her cute voice. "Don`t cheat daddy¡­" Azura said pointing her finger at me¡­ "Okay, I promise you I won`t look," I said righteously. "Mommy, make sure daddy won`t look¡­" Azura said to Alena who was watching us with a smile. "Okay, don`t worry sweeties," Alena said. I winked at Alena, who turned her head, deciding to ignore me¡­ And again, I`m on my own¡­ Not like I can`t catch them, I can feel their presence even without looking¡­ "Now go and hide¡­" I said as I closed my eyes and begin to count to 100. "1¡­ 2¡­ 3¡­" "Let`s hide fast Azu," Celestia said to her sister. Hmm? Celestia hid behind the fountain while Azura hid behind the biggest tree¡­ "Hehe, come and find me, daddy," Azura said while cutely giggling¡­ "I`m coming," I said¡­ "Where are you my cute little Azu, little Celestia¡­" I shouted while running toward the biggest tree, the one Azura used as her hideout¡­ "Where are you Azu¡­" I said, while I was watching Azura who was giggling in her place, she was crouching and looking at where I was standing before¡­ Smiling, I walked near her, stealthy¡­ Time to catch the small little rabbit. "Look at what we have here, I`ve found you Azu¡­" Once Azura heard my voice, she titled her head to the back, she froze stunned¡­ She didn`t expect me to find her so fast. "Woah, how did you find me so fast, daddy?" She asked while moving backward, trying to get me distracted haha. "You`ll soon find out¡­" I said. Time to catch the bad girl, I run toward her and hugged her in my embrace. "I`ve caught you¡­ Hehe," I said while tussling her fluffy hair. "Woah, daddy you`re so fast¡­" Azura said, enjoying being in my embrace¡­ "Let`s go and catch Cely?" I said, kissing her. "Yea, let`s go find Cely," Azura said, kissing my left cheek. "Hold your hands tight Azu¡­ because will be running fast," I said, holding her close to my chest. "Um!" Azu nodded, I felt her hands clenching tightly around my neck. "Don`t worry" I reassured her, and I begin to run at my full speed¡­ "Daddy, so fast!" Azura said, her hair flying in the air. "Daddy, where are you?" I heard Celestia''s voice from the back of the fountain, as we were near it¡­ "How did you know that Cely hid here?" Azura suddenly asked. "Secret?" I said while cold sweat dripped down my face¡­ "Look, Cely is here¡­" I said, to get her distracted¡­ "Daddy come and find me¡­" Celestia shouted again with her cute voice. "Found you, hehe," I said, approaching her from behind. "Cely" Azura shouted. "Hehe, daddy." Celestia run toward me, and threw herself in my embrace, I caught her with my right arm and kissed her cheek. "Hehe, daddy caught us¡­" Celestia said while enjoying my kisses. "Okay, let`s go back to mommy," I said while saying the same thing I said to Celestia, to hold her hand around me tighter¡­ "Are you ready, Azu and Cely'' I said. "Um," both nodded. I used my superhuman speed to reach Alena in a second. Both Azura and Celestia ran to their mother and jumped in her embrace. "Daddy, is so fast, mommy.'' Azura said to Alena "Yea, your daddy is the fastest," Alena said while patting their heads, and begin to tell them about me being the strongest who sealed the evil demons who wanted destruction and a lot of stories about me. Celestia and Azura listened earnestly, they wanted to know everything about me Watching Alena as she begins to tell Azura and Celestia about my heroic deeds, made me fall in love with her again. The way she talked with kids was so warm that I couldn`t stop smiling. I just listened from the side, deciding not to interrupt them. They talked for hours about my adventures, they were in their world and they didn`t notice that it was a lunchtime only after a maid came to announce that the lunch was ready. "Okay, let`s go¡­ time to eat, you can listen to my stories after we eat," I said lifting both Azura and Celestia and holding Alena`s hands back to the palace¡­ Nine: Wonderful Night. "Secret?" I said while cold sweat dripped down my face¡­ "Look, Cely is here¡­" I said, to get her distracted¡­ "Daddy come and find me¡­" Celestia shouted again with her cute voice. "Found you, hehe," I said, approaching her from behind. "Cely" Azura shouted. "Hehe, daddy." Celestia run toward me, and threw herself in my embrace, I caught her with my right arm and kissed her cheek. "Hehe, daddy caught us¡­" Celestia said while enjoying my kisses. "Okay, let`s go back to mommy," I said while saying the same thing I said to Celestia, to hold her hand around me tighter¡­ "Are you ready, Azu and Cely'' I said. "Um," both nodded. I used my superhuman speed to reach Alena in a second. Both Azura and Celestia ran to their mother and jumped in her embrace. "Daddy, is so fast, mommy.'' Azura said to Alena "Yea, your daddy is the fastest," Alena said while patting their heads, and begin to tell them about me being the strongest who sealed the evil demons who wanted destruction and a lot of stories about me. Celestia and Azura listened earnestly, they wanted to know everything about me Watching Alena as she begins to tell Azura and Celestia about my heroic deeds, made me fall in love with her again. The way she talked with kids was so warm that I couldn`t stop smiling. I just listened from the side, deciding not to interrupt them. They talked for hours about my adventures, they were in their world and they didn`t notice that it was a lunchtime only after a maid came to announce that the lunch was ready. "Okay, let`s go¡­ time to eat, you can listen to my stories after we eat," I said lifting both Azura and Celestia and holding Alena`s hands back to the palace¡­ After we finished eating our lunch, Celestia and Azura became tired and started yawing. I held them in my embrace and started moving toward their room. I was about to put them down on the bed, but their hands were holding me tightly. I slowly started to unclench their hands, so as not to disrupt their sleep. They were very unwilling. Once I put them down on the bed, they frowned, I also missed the warmth they gave to me. I quickly kissed their foreheads and rosy cheeks and tussled their hair, which made them smile in their sleep. I quickly walked out of the room and headed toward my bedroom and Alena. Before, Adam and Alena were sleeping in separate rooms, but from now on I told Alena that we`ll start sleeping together like a married couple sleep. She smiled happily as she blushed and turned red from ear to ear from embarrassment, her blushing face always make her look so cute. I fastened my pace to reach our room quickly, I didn`t like the idea of making her wait for long. As I quietly knocked on the door and entered the bedroom. Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. I found Alena calmly engrossed in her embroidery as she sat on the bed, she had a serious expression on her face as she worked. Alena''s green eyes, paired with her golden her that shone as the light of the room reflected off of it, left me transfixed by the spectacle for a while. Looking at her like this, Alena truly was a beauty¡­ it was like staring at a portrait painted by a master. "Hm? Alena" After watching her in silence for a while, I finally called out to her. Alena was so engrossed in what she was doing and didn`t notice me enter the room. Her shoulders jumped in surprise as she turned to look. "Adam¡­ sorry, I was so focused that I didn`t notice you entering¡­" She apologized. "No, it was my fault for suddenly interrupting you, right? I was just so captivated looking at you that I couldn''t call out to you earlier." I said giving her a loving smile. "C-captivated, don`t say something so embarrassing¡­" Alena said that as she tried to hide her embarrassment¡­ just what is it with my wife? She''s way too cute! Approaching her, I smiled as I looked at the embroidery she held in her hand. "It''s a really beautiful design, isn''t it?" "Um¡­ I was hoping to give it to you, Adam¡­ b-but that would be a bother to you, wouldn''t it?" Hearing my wife says something that adorable¡­ I couldn''t stop myself from resting my hand on Alena''s head as she looked up at me in surprise. "I''d be glad¡­ If it''s a gift from you, I''d be glad to receive anything. It''s a gift from my beloved wife, after all?" "Hauu¡­" Alena''s face turned bright red at those words¡­ how can someone be this adorable? Meanwhile, I was fighting an internal battle just to keep a cool head. "B-but, in any case¡­ what brings you here? Shouldn`t you be going to the office to continue your work?" After praising how adorable Alena was in my mind for a while, the words of Alena herself managed to bring me back down to earth as I remembered the main subject. "Oh! I forget to tell you, but I finished all my work in the morning to spend the rest of the day with you, Celestia and Azura." I said while slightly crouching down to make my face at the same height as Alena''s face. Slowly, I reached out to her lips with my hands, feeling the soft lips I couldn`t contain my beastly instincts anymore. I finally give her a peck on the lips, her lips tasted like strawberries, soft and delicious. Stunned, she turned her head to the side, to avoid making eye contact. How can she be so shy, when we already have two girls? It`s been a long time since we slept together. Her face became so red. Alena didn`t know that her blushing face made Adam stunned. I couldn`t look away, she was way too adorable while blushing, like a kitten. I lowered my face and kissed her on the lips again. Delicious, and delicate, I didn`t want to separate from her smooth lips. "Sorry, but you just were so cute and I couldn`t help myself," I said "Don`t worry, I won`t force you to do anything against you well, but remember this¡­. I`ll make sure that you will get the happiness you deserve¡­ I will make you the happiest girl in the entire world¡­ you and my daughters of course" I declared, with a clear yet gentle voice She nodded and tears of happiness began to pour down her face¡­. Seeing her crying he didn`t know what to do¡­ what did I say to make her cry like this¡­ "woooahh¡­ why are you crying now¡­ just tell me what did I do, and I will make up for it¡­ just don`t cry¡­ seeing you cry like this made my heart ache¡­ there is no need for a cute girl like you to cry." I tried to make my voice as gentle as possible¡­ Hearing him, she laughed and said¡­ "It`s tears of happiness dummy" "You were always cold towards me in the past, and you didn`t show your emotions like that in the past¡­ I thought that you hated me¡­" she continued¡­ Hearing that, I was cold towards this angle in the past, I couldn`t help but curse myself in the past in my heart. "There is no way I would hate you, you are gentle, caring, adorable, and cute, you are every man`s dream¡­" Hearing the praise, she felt happy in her heart, and her heart began to pound even more quickly. She panicked, we were so close to each other, that I could hear her pounding heart. I gave her another kiss, on the lips again, to remember the taste, and said "Alena, I want you to know this, you are dear to me, and I love you ¡­. And I`ll make you the happiest girl in the world. I will never be cold toward you or our daughters again, I will hold you dear to me, you will always be my one and only one¡­ I will protect you and our daughters with all my ability Just remember my word¡­ " Hearing Adam, she felt sweat in her heart, she felt like her heart is going to stop from all the happiness she felt today¡­ while she was in her stump, she heard Adam''s gentle voice again asking in a shaking voice¡­ "Do you love me too?" I said while looking at her nervously. Alena chuckled and thought that he was cute asking her something like this. "Yes, I love you too," Alena said. Even though she said that so happily, I meanwhile¡­ had more turbulent feelings. ''¡­Just who is this angel!? She''s way too cute for her age!?'' I don''t think I''d be able to hold myself back tonight¡­ honestly, at this rate, I do wonder if Celestia and Azura will have a new baby brother or sister before long¡­ Yeah And for the first time, she kissed me¡­ "What a wonderful moment! She is so cute" I thought pleasantly. "I can`t contain myself anymore Alena! So, can I?" I said while asking for her permission, I won`t ever force her. "Um." Alena shyly nodded, she was so happy to be loved like this. Just like that the two spent a crazy night full of happiness and satisfaction for both, they didn`t want to leave each other`s embrace, and soon maybe the two girls will get a new sibling after that wonderful night¡­ who knows?
