As the days passed, the girls took turns in staying with Lux.
When Ali's and Ari's turn came next, the two didn't act like the Half-Elf's other lovers who simply snuggled with him as he slept.
Even when he was sleeping, Little Lux was quite lively, which made the two handmaidens very happy.
Of course, Ari made sure that no evidence was left of their lovemaking and cleaned Lux's body and the sheets with her water magic.
On the fourth day, Lux finally opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw was Aurelia's sleeping face, which melted his heart.
It was very rare for her to show this defenseless side of her, and the Half-Elf felt happy that it was the first thing he saw after waking up.
She wasn't wearing any clothes, so he could feel her warmth and softness, making him sigh in his heart.
However, his body stiffened when he saw the other lady sleeping on his right side.
Similar to Aurelia, Aurora was completely naked and was also clinging onto his body as she slept.
Lux wasn't dense, and he knew Aurora had feelings for him.
Also, he would be lying if he said that he didn't have feelings for her.
If he didn't, he wouldn't have gone all out into trying to free her from the Inner Sanctum of the Pantheon of Exile.
However, neither of them had taken that step to confess their feelings to each other, making them more than friends, but less than lovers.
As if sensing that someone was looking at her intently, Aurora stirred in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes.
She then raised her head and looked sleepily at the Half-Elf, who was looking back at her with a complicated look on his face.
The beautiful young lady smiled and kissed Lux's lips before going back to sleep.
However, just as she was about to close her eyes, a dawn of realization descended upon her. As if cold water was poured over her head, her sleepiness disappeared, making her open her eyes wide.
She then raised her head to look at Lux, and after confirming that the Half-Elf was indeed awake and was looking at her in a daze, the young lady froze in shock.
"L-Lux, this…" Aurora stuttered as she tried to think of the right words to say.
Seeing her anxious and troubled look, Lux smiled and lightly patted her head.
"It's okay," Lux said softly. "I understand. But, are you sure about this?"
Aurora, who instinctively knew that Lux had understood her feelings, nodded her head shyly.
"Okay," Lux said as he pulled Aurora close to him, and kissed her forehead.
He then gently guided her head to rest on his shoulder, as he continued to lightly pat her head.
"Let's take things slow, okay."
Aurora nodded. "Okay."
Aurora closed her eyes and enjoyed the happiness that was rising inside her chest.
Both of them had finally taken the step to confirm their feelings for each other, and with this, she was one step closer to achieving her dream.
Lux then hugged his two lovers closer to him and kissed their foreheads.
"How long was I sleep?" Lux inquired.
"Four days," Aurora replied. "We made sure to feed you some potions to help you recover while you are sleeping."
The Half-Elf was surprised to find out that he had slept for four whole days.
But, after recalling that he hadn't had any sleep for nearly two months since his counterattack started, he thought that sleeping for four days wasn't such a bad thing.
He felt very refreshed, and the haziness in his mind and heart had also disappeared.
For a moment, he didn't say anything and simply held Aurelia and Aurora in his arms. He understood that he still had things to do, but he was very reluctant to part with the two ladies who had helped him recover in more ways than one.
Perhaps, Aurora understood what Lux felt, so she simply held onto him with her eyes closed.
They remained in this position for an hour, until Aurelia woke up.
The Dragon Princess was quite happy upon seeing that Lux was already awake.
She had been very worried about Lux, so her overflowing emotions got the best of her.
Before she knew it, she was already kissing her lover passionately, and the Half-Elf responded in kind.
Fortunately, Aurelia was sated with kisses and didn't go all the way with Lux, making Aurora sigh in relief.
She was afraid that if Aurelia lost control, she would be dragged into their lovemaking, which was something that she didn't want to happen at this point in time.
Of course, she wanted to make love with Lux, but she wanted to do it with only the two of them.
She didn't want to share that intimate moment with someone else, and Lux understood this as well.
After cuddling for a few minutes, the three decided to put on some clothes and meet up with the others.
Just like Aurelia and Aurora expected, the other girls were also very happy to see that Lux had finally awakened from his long slumber.
They took turns hugging and kissing Lux, making the latter fall in love with them all over again.
Just as he finished hugging Valerie, Lux found himself face to face with his Grandmaster, Hereswith, who was looking at him with a smile on her face.
"Where's my hug?" Hereswith asked in a teasing tone. "Or are you saying that you won't give me one?"
Lux shook his head helplessly as he also gave the extremely beautiful Elf a hug.
"Thank you, Grandmaster," Lux said.
He was truly very thankful to Hereswith because four days ago, he was on the verge of losing control over his emotions.
When his Grandmaster arrived with his lovers, the Half-Elf's guard finally lowered and his body took preventive measures, automatically shutting down to maximize his recovery.
"Grandmaster, can you please tell me what the latest news is on the continent?" Lux inquired after the hug ended.
Hereswith nodded. "For starters, the other Kingdoms, who were once affiliated with the Divine Army, are currently feeling anxious that you might pay them a visit.
"Also, the crime rate in the Kingdoms that you have subjugated has decreased by 90%. The Sovereign and the Founder of the Divine Army want to meet with you to reach a compromise. The venue of this meeting will take place in Karshvar Draconis, and it's scheduled ten days from now.
"Don't worry, you still have plenty of time to repay your lovers for taking good care of you when you were sleeping. I'm sure that all of you have a lot of catching up to do. So, as the Third Wheel, I will now take my leave.
"This place is relatively safe, but just to be on the safe side, make sure to erect a barrier. You won't want to be disturbed while you are having fun, right? So, don't hesitate to jam it in!"
The ladies, who heard Hereswith's playful words, all blushed because they were also looking forward to it.
Hereswith then lightly pinched Lux's right cheek before giving him a wink.
The beautiful Elf then left the residence so that Lux and his girls could finally have some quality time with each other.
She spent a lot of effort to gather all of them, so it would be a waste if her Grand Disciple didn't put this opportunity to good use.
Lux and his lovers had a light breakfast before they went to the underground spring together.
The Half-Elf still had a few days before the meeting with the Divine Army started.
Until then, he would not hesitate to embrace his women, and renew his feelings of love, for each and every one of them.
