Seeing her sleeping so soundly, Nux smiled as he gently kissed her soft lips before lying right beside her.

Streams of energy entered his body after he came inside but this time, the amount wasn't enough for him to level up. Nux shook his head as he closed his eyes and relished the aftertaste of their intense and delightful session.

…

2 hours later, Nux opened his eyes; he then turned around and glanced at Skyla who was still sleeping soundly and with a small smile on her face.

Nux smiled as well and stood up, he didn't wake her up and directly left his room.

After exiting, he activated his [Sense] and quickly found her next target. He then activated his [Conceal] and started walking towards her.

After a while, Nux could see Lane walking towards the corridor and decided to follow her. A mischievous smile appeared on his face.

Lane kept walking without knowing how the person who she was thinking about right now was following her.

However, suddenly, she stopped and glanced toward the three maids who were talking happily.

Nux frowned and followed her gaze and quickly found those three maids.

"What!? Edric proposed to you yesterday!?" One of the maids questioned.

The other maid, who was a little shorter than the two nodded with a blush on her face.

"Took him a long damn time!" the first maid snorted.

"Hey hey, did you have your first time yet?" The third maid questioned excitedly.

The other maid's face turned even redder as she nodded, "…last night"

"Kyaa!! Quick! Tell me the details!"

The maid's face was now as red as a tomato as she shook her head cutely, "I won't…"

"Wha- What? That's so mean!" The third maid complained.

"Alright alright, don't tease her now. Oriel, tell me, when are you two getting married?" The first maid questioned.

Oriel smiled a little as she answered, "A month later…"

"You will invite us to the marriage right?" The first maid teased.

"Of course… you two are my best friends after all…" Oriel nodded with a red face.

Nux then turned his head and glanced at Lane. He was surprised to see that her eyes were gleaming with excitement and jealousy as she glanced at the trio.

Nux frowned, excitement was okay but jealousy?

What was she jealous of? Wasn't her man the most handsome and the most caring person in this world?

However, soon Nux realized.

What was different in the thing the maids were talking about?

Marriage.

Nux has confessed to his women many times, but he noticed that he hasn't proposed to marry any one of them yet. Of course, he was happy to marry them anytime, but it won't make difference if he just thinks about it in his mind.

Could they read his mind?

No.

He has to tell them himself.

Nux nodded inwardly, he promised himself that he would propose all three of them personally.

The three maids then continued talking; the third maid was persistent and continued asking Oriel about her first time. Oriel blushed each time and continued denying it.

As if remembering something, Lane quickly shook her head, she then walked towards the maid and congratulated her.

"Congratulations"

Then before Oriel could reply, Lane quickly rushed away awkwardly.

Nux chuckled seeing her acting like that and quickly followed her. A while later, Lane entered the bathroom and Nux finally decided to reveal himself.

With a mischievous smile, Nux walked in front of her, letting her bump into him.

"Huh? Lane? What are you thinking about that you are so lost in your thoughts that you can't even see your man walking in front of you?" of course, he also took the opportunity to take her in his embrace.

"Nux?" Lane didn't mind being hugged by him but she was shocked. She was sure that she didn't see him standing there. When did he appear? Was she really so lost thinking about marrying Nux that she couldn't even see him standing in front of him?

"Were you thinking about me?"

Being caught like this, Lane panicked as she replied, "N-No"

"Oh? Then were you thinking about another man?"

"No! Not at all! Why would I think about another man!?" Lane panicked even more.

She then heard Nux chuckling before picking her up. Knowing what he was going to do, Lane quickly shook her head as she replied.

"Nux, we can't do that yet, I still have work to do"

"You can always do it later, right?"

"N-No I cannot, I still have to was-" Suddenly, Lane felt something soft on her lips and saw Nux kissing her gently.

"You can always do it later, right?" He questioned gently.

"N-no, I ha-" Again, Nux sealed her lips.

"You can always do it later, right?" he repeated, his tone even gentler.

Lane's face turned red and her heart started beating quickly, however, as a serious person, she quickly came back to her senses and replied, "Nux, I cannot do it ri-"

He sealed her lips again.

"You can always do it later, right?" he repeated, this time, his voice so gentle that it was almost seductive.

Lane's will to fight disappeared as soon as it appeared, however, his kisses felt good so she tried to deny it again, "I can-"

"Right?" After sealing her lips again, Nux questioned before kissing her lips a few more times without letting her answer.

"Right?" He then questioned again.

'I can always do it later, right?'

Lane thought inwardly as she nodded with a red face. She then let Nux carry her to the bathtub and place her inside.
