Rhys flew back to the continent he belonged, his home. His speed surpassed that of a Supreme Saint, as he used his comprehension of the law of light to speed up and turn into a literal ray of purple light. Yes, just like his flames, he had added the power of destruction to his light.
Boom! He flew high in the sky, looking like a shooting star in the bright sky, he looked like a purple ray of light shooting through the skies. Well, he was.
His heart pounded at the thought of seeing Aurora, Crystal, and Stella.
'Edea and Ailin, I will find them too.'
Well, Rhys certainly was in for a surprise. A big one at that.
He flew for minutes, his speed broke all wind barriers as he looked at the Moon Palace which slowly grew from a dot in the distance to a grandiose Palace.
——————
Within the Moon Palace, Aurora, Stella, and Crystal sat close to each other in the balcony, in the same balcony Rhys had left, waiting for his return. Ailin and Edea, well, they were not important, at least not for now.
They were drinking tea and chatting, to fill each other's loneliness. As they talked, they saw an approaching dot in the distance. At first, they thought it was an enemy. But as they saw the blond hair and handsome face, their eyes lit up and their faces showed happiness never seen before.
'He is back.'
That was the thought all three women had at the same time as they saw their beloved approach. They saw Rhys approach and slow down, until his full figure was visible, which made them feel shocked.
Rhys had changed back to his current look, his robes were now very pristine and the myriad of jewelry on his body reeked of regality.
His body slowly descended on the balcony, landing on the rail, making him stand higher than the three beauties before him. His blonde hair that faded into a myriad of colors at the tip, mostly purple, swayed gently in the breeze.
"I am back." Rhys spoke out as he walked down from the rail. His three beautiful women had to process what he said before they all broke out into tears and hugged him.
Aurora took his right, kissing his right collarbone as tears flushed down her face, all she could do was show affection, Stella did the same for his left collarbone while Crystal marked his face and lips with her blue lipstick.
Munch~ Munch~
The sounds of kissing echoed in the room as Rhys merely smiled.
Rhys hugged them tightly and gave them all a kiss on their forehead, "I am glad you missed me as I did." Rhys smiled, for him, it was many years, but for his women, it wasn't as long as him.
"Of course, we would, you silly man." Aurora spoke jokingly as she hit him in the stomach, yet that did no damage.
"You have gotten stronger." Stella spoke out as she noticed Rhys was not wincing in pain from such a hit of Aurora, which although was not meant to kill him or hurt him, it was meant to make him wince in pain.
Crystal did not care and enjoyed his warm embrace. "Yeah, I have completed my part of the deal, you need not worry." Rhys smiled warmly as he felt their soft bodies, making something other than emotions rise.
'Already!? It is awake already!? I just hugged them!' Rhys felt like crying.
The bulge in his pants was pretty obvious, his three women smiled seeing that their little friend down there was awake and ready to fight.
"Oh my, someone missed us more than they let on." Aurora spoke charmingly, her face flushed as she acted like this in front of her daughters.
Crystal smiled and grabbed Rhys's bulge with her hand, "I can feel it craving us."
Stella also smiled seductively, "How about we go have some fun, of course, one at a time." They were not prepared to do it all in the same bed, they were family, they would be ashamed to share the same man in the same bed at the same time.
"Ararara~" Suddenly, a feminine voice echoed from inside the Palace, Rhys, and the girls froze, the former from both fear and awkwardness and the latter from anger that they were interrupted.
"Ah..." Rhys was at a loss of what to say. He saw Edea and Ailin walking toward him, their beauty still making him gulp, but Rhys's changes also made Edea and Ailin raise a brow, they would make sure to question him later.
"You found a woman and forgot about the woman who raised you?" Edea spoke, anger apparent, she meant what she said, but not in a motherly way, she was jealous.
She was realizing this, but did not mind. The months she spent with Aurora, Crystal, and Stella made her realize how happy she could be with Rhys, on the other hand, Ailin was already head over heels over Rhys. Yet for some odd reason, she remained quiet.
Rhys shook his head hurriedly and let go of his woman, trying to deny what was said, yet that revealed the bulge being covered by Crystal's body, making Edea raise a brow and Ailin flush. She was a healthy young lady after all.
'That isn't the real thing, it is covered, yet I am acting like this? Get yourself together Ailin!' Ailin slapped her cheeks to calm down.
Rhys realized this and froze again, "Uuhhh... yeah, you were wrong. I was already planning on finding you when I returned.
Edea smiled, her smile shone like a sun, the scales around her eyes reflecting the sunlight as she looked in Rhys's eyes, seeing the same scales like her, yet they looked thicker and stronger, albeit they seemed to be more purple than golden. Making her question why that was so.
She walked closer to the light in her life, Rhys, and moved her hand, touching his cheek, making Rhys close his eyes and enjoyed her caress. She touched the scales on Rhys's face and felt their hardness. She felt her golden dragon blood boil, she had found a potential partner of the same race with a stronger bloodline than hers.
'So I love my own son?... Haha, what a bad mother I am.' Yet for some reason she wasn't mad nor annoyed, instead, she felt happiness that Rhys was enjoying her touch and acting as obedient as the day he left.
Before Rhys could notice, she hugged Rhys tightly, burying her head in his chest, but Ailin decided to join, the mother-daughter duo shared a hug with the man they treasued.

Author's Note:
End of Volume 1!!!
I honestly had no expectations about this novel, though it would flunk, I had two previous projects that I dropped because they were rushed or shit. Then PO was put on hiatus and is being rewritten and will come out as a new story because the original one was also rushed.
I expected this to be rushed by my dumbass that doesn't know how to pace. Well, I technically did, but not as bad as my previous projects. I thank the people who read this atrocity. I will improve much more in the next volume, with new adventures, and many new meetings. For now, the people that are now will remain as the only harem members, the first empress will join later, until Rhys goes to higher worlds.
I hope you enjoyed my novel thus far, please leave a review, it helps my book reach more people. I need like 10-20 reviews for my book to get a rating if I'm not wrong. Over 90K people have at least viewed this book, if you can't write a proper review, then I don't know what to say. I need to know if people legit enjoy this novel.
Till, later, I will take maybe a 1-day break, but that is a maybe. I might not.
