After taking in the city below Ben brought Silvana and Natalia to their rooms. The women were blown away by the opulent modern decor surrounding them.
With the help of their private servants, they began to arrange the things they had purchased today in their closets. There was still plenty of things being custom made for them but they would not be delivered for a few days still. For now, they had a few outfits to wear until the remainder of their wardrobe arrived.
Even though Ben had made three bedrooms on the second floor the third one was more for appearances. He knew Silvana would not agree to remain in a large strange bedroom without him, and he wouldn't want her to.
The two of them had only known one another for a short time but it felt like they had been lovers for years. They might not admit it yet but the seeds of love were quickly sprouting in their hearts for one another.
When the two bedrooms were organized the two female servants were dismissed for the night to return the following morning to attend to Silvana and her mother.
The three of them joined up with Mythia later on and went down to the Great Hall to have dinner together. Ben wasn't one to stand on traditions and he invited all of his servants who worked in his castle to sit at his table and eat dinner with them.
Natalia instantly took to Mythia and doted on her the entire time they were together.
Mythia had made vast changes since Ben had taken her as a disciple. After strictly following the program Ben had arranged for Mythia, her body had begun to properly fill out for a girl of fourteen years of age. With the addition of her becoming a cultivator, Mythia began to look like a little doll.
It wasn't difficult to tell she was destined to be an empire toppling beauty when she grew up. Now that she was exposed to the best vitamins, supplements, and spirit foods her hair, skin, and appearance made her look like a true princess.
Ben sat at the head of the table drinking his wine while watching these beautiful fairies interacting happily with one another.
He lowered his head and clasped his hands together and seriously thanked the one who had brought him to this world.
"So you finally have acknowledged what I have done for you brat? Up until today, all I have ever been granted is curses off of that glib tongue of yours."
Ben's complexion suddenly turned pale, he was used to hearing Athena speak to him in his head so when he heard this unfamiliar male voice he knew they were speaking to him in the same way he and Athena speaks to him.
It was so suddenly out of know where it completely caught him off guard.
'Who..are you?' Ben asked.
Silvana and Natalia noticed Ben's complexion and looked at one another worriedly before asking him if he was ok.
Ben was lost inside his thoughts after hearing the male voice. He began to ignore everything and tuned out his surroundings to focus on this shocking turn of events.
After a moment the voice responded, "It is difficult for me to speak with you like this without breaking the rules. I only wish to say I am watching your progress and I am happy with the path you have created for yourself and those under your rule."
After he had spoken his final statement Ben could feel the strong presence which had encompassed him had receded once again. Ben found he had been out of it for a moment and his surrounding began to come flooding back into his consciousness.
It was a huge event for Ben who grew up always wondering if their really was a god out there and now he knew he had momentarily been exposed to one!
Silvana began to worriedly shake Ben until he snapped to and smiled at her.
"It's nothing sorry to worry you two...I had just forgotten I needed to do something important. It will have to wait until tomorrow now, unfortunately." He covered the event up with a small lie so he would not worry them by saying he was hearing voices in his head.
When they were sure everything was fine they continued to enjoy their meals and speak with the others at the table with them.
Ben enjoyed the meal and it was nice to meet the people who came to work in the castle. He was always so busy running around these days Ben never got to enjoy the castle or to meet the new people hired to work inside of it.
The trio left the castle staff behind to return to the penthouse. The mother and daughter seemed to be in high spirits as if they were living in a dream. This exciting day continued to surprise and thrill them to the point they had not thought of their old homes or dynasty they left behind.
Silvana and Natalia both took one of Ben's arms and allowed him to lead them to the second floor. Natalia went into her room while Silvana and Ben went into the middle room.
Finally, behind closed doors the two lovers were eager to be in one another's arms again after such a long separation.
Ben helped to unzip Silvana's pretty new dress which fell to the floor to be forgotten. He was once again enchanted by her beauty. Her young Shapely body and alluring looks were illuminated in the moonlight streaming into the dark bedroom through the large picture windows.
Ben began to praise himself for using the one-way mirror windows. This was a sight only for his eyes and he would not share it with others.
Silvana looked up to see the look of desire in her lover's eyes and she felt a shiver run through her body in anticipation of what was to come.
Without delay, she began to remove Ben's clothes while also enjoying the sight of his muscular toned body.
Ben could not hold back as he watched Silvana looking him over with the same desire in her eyes that he had. He scooped her up into his arms and gently laid her on the enormous bed.
He laid down beside her and the two were soon lost in each other's arms.
