Pov Illios:
"Master, wake up," was the first thing I heard in the morning.
That voice belonged to Mery, who was right next to me, or more precisely hugged by me in bed.
How did I get into this situation? Well, after Meilin left, my body started to have a fucking high libido. Normally, this goes away after a while, you know, the horniness of the moment.
But it didn't go away, it just increased more over time, so I had no choice but to ask Mery for help, and well... she was there all night calming me down.
"Master, Miss Elena and her guests are arriving today," Mery told me.
Hearing that, all my drowsiness left me immediately and I set about getting dressed, while Mery did the same.
"What time do you think they will arrive?", I asked.
"About noon, Master," she replied.
(Let's get ready right away).
Although I still felt my libido was high, it was not uncontrollable, so I will try to ignore it.
--
When noon arrived, I had everything prepared and ready for the arrival of Elena and the guests of the Ice Phoenix sect.
"Prince..." said a cute voice next to me.
It was Lila, who was very nervous, as today she would meet her adopted daughter, Elizabeth. So all morning she was debating what would be the best way to face her.
(You should be more concerned about Elena... honestly).
I thought, but obviously I'm not going to say it, so....
"Don't worry, Lila, just act like you normally do. And you're not alone, I'm here with you," I said with a big smile and hugging her lightly.
"Although if you want, you can go to the tower and stay there while I receive them. But remember to say hello afterwards," I added as I noticed her trembling.
(I don't think waving is a big deal, but for someone like Lila it can be very complicated.)
She doesn't have the confidence to face a real princess like Elena, let alone Elizabeth, whose relationship with Lila is the reason she was saved from that hell called homelessness and foodlessness.
(Even if Elizabeth doesn't like it, she'll still be my main wife. I've already invested in her, plus she's very beautiful, and her talent will only blossom with time.)
"I'm sorry, prince," she told me, indicating that she didn't feel ready to face the people who were coming.
"It's okay, I understand it's awkward. You can leave this to me. Don't forget to say hello later," I said, patting her head.
Nodding, she retreated on her way to the tower.
"Well, let's get ready," I said as I anxiously awaited the results of Elena's visit to the Ice Phoenix sect.

Pov Yukari Mei:
I found it impressive how Crystal Moon County has changed over time. I mean, I haven't been coming here for a long time, as I am usually in seclusion and without any contact other than with my daughter or granddaughter.
From what I have heard from Princess Elena, these changes were very recent. In fact, it was they, the twins, who were responsible for changing the overall infrastructure of the place.
From the small villages surrounding the crystal city to the city itself, I saw all the changes they made. From simple things like roads to items that a cultivator probably wouldn't make public knowledge, like spirit trees.
(He's a talented guy, no, I must say they are a family of monsters).
As I watched the incredible evolution of this territory, my thoughts drifted to a girl sitting across from me in the carriage.
Elizabeth Silvermoon...
This little girl, barely 5 years old, is a complete monster. I have no other word to define her.
Her physical strength, stamina, and even her bloodline are completely meaningless. Never in my 1000 years of life have I ever seen a 5 year old child pass all the tests of the Ice Phoenix sect without any cultivation.
This is what impresses me the most. She does not have even a sliver of spiritual energy in her body, indicating that her body is powerful enough to withstand her abilities without causing damage to her vitality.
Let's remember that children under the age of 10 are not capable of facing the stormy path of cultivation. No matter how talented they are, according to the ancient immortals, this rule was made by the world itself to protect these young talents from the demons of heart that might develop in their poor childhood.
(We are coming).
From the carriage, which by the way was very beautiful, I could see a large mansion in the distance. Its design was rather curious, as it was not as extravagant as the other mansions I have seen throughout my life, but it had its charm. That tells me a lot about the personality of its owner.
(I can't feel anything beyond the door...).
It seems that this mansion is protected by some kind of very strong barrier, something that can inhibit my powerful Sovereign of Existence senses.
Hm?
Out of the corner of my eye, I could see how the girl Elizabeth raised her eyebrows in bewilderment, or more accurately suspicion, and looked directly towards the mansion.
(I can't sense anything, but did this little girl detect something she doesn't like?)
Well, it's not really any of my business, since Princess Elena is not very responsive. In fact, she's completely asleep.
The carriage moved at a steady pace until we reached the front of the mansion.
"Miss Elena, please wake up, we have arrived," said the maid in charge of the girl.
(Her name is Alyssa?, right?)
"Haaaaaaaa, are we there yet?" said Princess Elena while yawning.
(Her seductive movements are... completely unconscious).
In my interactions with Princess Elena, I've noticed that her body movements are quite... provocative. At first I thought it was intentional, her unique style, you know. Some people talk or act unusual on purpose to create a different image to others.
I've seen some teachers act like idiots on purpose to impress their students.
But it seems to come naturally to her.
"Well then, Eli, Yuki, let's go say hello to my brother," she said as she stood up and stretched.
(Yuki??????)
I had the urge to correct her, but if you think about it, nicknames are a sign of closeness in most cases, so I just let it go. Also, it should be noted that I'm no longer the former sect master of the Ice Phoenix sect, but a poor disciple in search of true love.
"..." Without a word, the girl got down from the carriage and ran towards the door of the mansion.
Pam! Pam! Pam!
Her serene demeanor was nowhere to be seen as she began pounding on the mansion door with considerable force.
(...)
Pam! Pam! Pam!
"This girl..." Even Princess Elena found this behavior a bit extreme.
Squeak! *Sound of the door opening.
The repetitive and not-so-loud knocking succeeded when I saw the door opening.
When I saw the person who opened the door, I was completely engrossed.
A very handsome, no, incredibly handsome, young man was there. Although he had a frown on his face at first, his facial features relaxed when he saw who the person knocking so loudly was.
"Eli! It's been a long time, my little girl!" the young man extraordinaire said, bending down and scooping the little girl into his arms.
His silver hair shone in the sun, framing his fine, delicate-featured face. His silver eyes reflected a mysterious light, inviting you to lose yourself in them. He wore an impeccable white suit that highlighted his elegance and poise.
His smile was beautiful, sweet, and sincere, capable of captivating anyone who saw his. His body was in perfect shape, with an athletic build that denoted strength and agility.
(Calm down, you've seen too many handsome men already).
I shook my head a couple of times to get rid of his charm.
(He's much better looking than my late husband).
My husband was the most handsome man in the region when I met him. I even had to contend for his love against the women of the Fire Phoenix sect and the Vermillion Bird sect. Besides handsome, he was very talented. But I must admit that this young man completely outshines him, at least in appearance.
(Is this grace before death?)
As a Sovereign cultivator of Existence, I can vaguely sense that my time is near. Playing concubine with this handsome young man may be a good idea.
(But first I have to evaluate my daughters accurately).
I must not forget the purpose for which I have come here.
"Ouch, hey, don't bite me so hard, Eli," as I pondered, I saw how the girl bit Prince Illios' right shoulder.

Pov Elizabeth:
My anxiety grew as we got closer to my house.
Why, those who do not know the behaviors of dragons would ask.
This is because ever since I entered my father's territory, or rather our territory, I could feel an unfamiliar female dragonic aura growing stronger as we got closer to home.
(A fucking bitch wants to steal my father).
The fact that a dragon would leave such a clear trail indicates that she did it on purpose to deter other dragons nearby.
I didn't leave my aura in this territory, as some information about its owner can be probed in it. So, in the hypothetical case that I did, the intruding dragon could guess my approximate age and simply laugh at the absurdity.
