Next day when Mars woke up the first thing he noticed was the same old ceiling of his room.
He dragged himself out of his bed and went toward his personal bathroom as today was not only he meant to attend a battle and today was also d of Neptune's hearing and he was one of the people in charge of her trials.
Mars went straight to room that was shared between Priscilla and Ceres as he meant to escort the two girls to the throne room where supposed to hold. Arriving at there door on the third floor, he knocked on the door and after a few seconds Ceres open the door, she was out of her battle attire and donned an olive green blouse and black pairs of trousers and had braided her hair which emphasises her neck and her delicate face which has a light blush on it.
"Oh! Mars, it's you" it was Priscilla who exclaimed with surprise as she came out of the bathroom wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around her torso barely keeping her privates out of the view, her slender legs and arms full-on display while her soggy blonde hair rested on her back "give me a minute, please!"
Priscilla went toward a wardrobe and started taking out clothes and putting them bed while Mars and Ceres for some odd reason just stood there and watched her with a dazed expression on their faces
"Mars do you really plan to see me naked before even our marriage," said Priscilla while giggling mischievously while she started taking off the towel, this seems to wake them up from their stupor. The stupor the first to react was Ceres as she tried to shut the door with a superhuman speed while Mars followed the trail and dodged the closing door.
Sighing as he evaded a difficult situation he sat near the door while he listened to the shouts of Ceres from inside. Mars began to contemplate his life after he would marry those sisters, he knew them both from his childhood but never get to understand them. Ceres was of the same age as he does and had a gentle nature but about it, he still doesn't know her likes and dislikes neither he knows her dreams while he still thinks he could understand her better with time the same can't be said about Priscilla. As far back as Mars could remember Priscilla was an introvert person who would go out of her to evade meeting strangers, her only confidants were Ceres and her own mother but that changed at the age of seven when her mother died after a long fight with an aliment which proved to be fatal, many suspected that Priscilla would break due to that including Ceres and Margrave Graham but Priscilla proved both of them wrong, only a few months later she visited the royal castle and smiled and talked to every other that would listen, though she still would tear upon mention of her that but that too sieged after some time. She soon developed a knack to tease Mars and Ceres as they both were two years younger than her and engaged, they both especially Mars despite being treated like a kid by her.
While Mars was deep in thought the bedroom door opened once more and both girls came out and stood in front of him, as Mars looked up to match their gaze, Priscilla now fully clothed as wore a light pink blouse and a pair of trouser matching to those to of Ceres and leather knee-length boots leaned forward and without warning stole his lips. Mars whole body stiffened as a soft sensation warranted his lips. After a few seconds, their lips parted and she sighed hot breath on his neck as she hugs his body as he stood up.
"Happy birthday dear." She said in a sensual voice while blushing furiously
Mars too could feel a burning sensation all over his face and especially on his lips, a slight nod is the only thing he could muster as his mid is still blank while this time Ceres moved forward but instead of lips she went for his right cheek as Mars' brains blanked out once again from a soft sensation.
"Happy birthday," Ceres said in a small voice.
"We could get any gift for you so we decided to give you a kiss," Priscilla explained while glaring toward Ceres who nodded in agreement. "Do you like it?"
To Priscilla's mischievous question, Mars just continued to look dazed while both girls stared at him. Finally, when Mars regains his senses he tried to dodge their stares and turn his back to them to hide his embarrassment.
"Let's hurry we should have been in the throne room right now." Mars tried to divert their attention but could guess their reactions as he himself tried to calm himself down as his heart was threatening to come out of his chest, as it was his first experience in that kind of things.
Mars led the two to the throne room which was on the ground floor and is the largest room the entire Castle with largest doors which were being guarded by two royal guards who first bowed to them and announced their arrival as giants door swung open to admit them inside.
The throne room was a huge hall with a high ceiling which was supported by a dozen columns each having different carving depicting different events of the history of the holy kingdom, while thrown stood on top a alter on which currently the emperor resides while the seat adjustment to him was empty. The minister and other nobles were seated in one of the two columns of thrones which always had to below from that the emperor's.
Mars took his seat which was nearest to the emperor in the left side while Ares sat on his opposite side, which Ceres and Pricilla proceeded to seat on the bench that runs the entire length of the hall on either side behind the minister's thrones.
