Lily was already waiting for me outside my room.
"You look more charming than usual, young master," she remarked with a teasing smile.
"Maybe I reached adulthood today," I replied, smirking back.
"Well, we'll have to test that theory later," she teased, winking. "For now, let's go. Everyone's waiting for you in the dining room."
Her words brought a wave of anxiety back. I had no idea who these people were. How would I interact with them? Could they tell I wasn't really their son? And why didn't I have Arthur's memories? According to all those web novels I'd read, I should've received the original body's memories after transmigrating. So why was I clueless? And where was my damn cheat ability? Where was my golden finger? A system, a mystical item, some OP skills—anything!
Lost in my thoughts, I didn't notice Lily had stopped in front of a large set of doors. Before I knew it, my face collided with something soft... and jiggly. I looked up, realizing I had just walked straight into her rear. Instinctively, I buried myself between her ass cheeks, taking a deep breath. Even her scent was intoxicating. I felt wet sensation for her already wet panties. I couldn't resist giving it a quick lick.
"hmmm~ Sweet" I said, savouring her taste.
Lily let out a soft moan, "Ahn~... Young Master, please…" She stepped away, breaking the trance. "You need to go inside."
Reluctantly, I stepped back as she opened the doors for me.
Inside, the dining room was massive, with a long table full of food. Six people were already seated.
At the center of the table was a burly man, who had to be the head of the household—my father, judging from our similar features. 'He sure looks handsome, but not as handsome as me', I thought narcissistically. On his right was a stunning redhead with fiery eyes, dressed in a low-cut black dress that showcased her ample cleavage. Her aura was just as intense as her looks. On his left was another beauty, this one with black hair and blue eyes. Her chest was modest, but she compensated for it with an incredibly plump ass. They had to be his wives. I guess my father is a man of culture.
Next to them was a young man, likely in his twenties, with sharp, handsome features, similar to the duke—clearly my brother. Sitting close to him was a petite woman with small, perky breasts. Her nipples poked against her dress, and she seemed quite attached to him. His wife, maybe?
Finally, there was a red haired-girl about the same age as me or maybe older. She was beautiful, wearing a white low cut top with matching skirt. Her outfit accentuated her beautiful figure. Her breasts were not too big but not small either. It was modest. Could be easily cupped in hands. As I was checking out her body, her eyes locked on me. As our eyes met she gestured toward the empty chair beside her, inviting me to sit. Despite meeting her for the first time, I immediately recognized her—Emily Ludwig. One of the main characters from the game.
Awkwardly, I sat next to her, my heart racing. Seeing a main character up close was surreal. And awkward. Why? Well, technically, I had seen her naked plenty of times in the game… when I was playing as Alex. I have seen her wild side while jumping on Alex's cock from other side of the screen, which was in sharp contrast with her calm demeanor now.
"You seem a bit lost today, Arthur," a deep voice spoke from the head of the table. I looked up and saw the lord of the house—my father.
"It's nothing, Father. I just didn't sleep well last night," I answered awkwardly. It still felt strange to call someone I'd never seen before my father.
The redheaded beauty next to him looked at me with concern. "Are you feeling unwell, dear? Did you have nightmares?"
Here we go again, I thought. But seeing the worry in her eyes—and hearing her call me 'son'—I realized she must be my mother.
"No, Mom," I replied quickly. "It's nothing serious, just a restless night."
She nodded, still looking a little worried. "If you're sure. But if you feel uncomfortable, let me know. Or… you can come to my room if you have trouble sleeping."
My thoughts wandered at her offer. I wouldn't mind taking you up on that... She was stunning, and her outfit didn't help, showcasing her figure even in front of everyone. Not just her—all the women I'd seen so far dressed provocatively.
I would love to play with those jugs. What? Don't be weirded out. It's not like she's my real mother or anything. I'm not the real Arthur Ludwig, so it's perfectly fine for me to ogle her.
Damn! What am I thinking? Now I'm somewhat certain this world is messing with my common sense. Here I am, in a tense situation, and all I can think about is sex.
Shaking off the thoughts, I cleared my mind and tried to focus on the present.
"Okay, Mom. I'll let you know if anything happens," I said, doing my best to stay composed.
Then my father's rough voice cut in again. "You will be turning 15 in few days and become an adult. So have decided what to do after that. Will you join the Arcane academy like your sister or enlist in the Ironwall knights"
What? This is moving way too fast. I hadn't even figured out the basics of this world, let alone decide my future. And what's with that cringe name. But outwardly, I stayed calm. "Not yet, Father. I'm still considering my options."
"Decide soon; there isn't much time left before the awakening," he said, his tone serious.
"Yes, Father," I nodded, playing along.
"Don't rush the decision, son. It will shape your future," the black-haired beauty beside him said.
So, she's also my mother? If both were his wives, then technically, they both were.
"Yes, Mother," I replied, trying to stay respectful.
Emily, sitting next to me, patted my back. "Join the Academy, bro. I'll be there to help you out. If you need anything, just come to me. I'm kind of a big deal there," she said with a playful grin.
"Thanks in advance, sis," I said, grateful for her offer, even though I still felt completely out of my depth.
We ate in silence after that. My brother and his wife didn't speak, just quietly finishing their meal. Once breakfast was done, everyone went their separate ways, and I exited the dining room with Lily trailing behind me, as always.
