*Axel's POV*
"Silvara I thought you were talking to your parents tonight?" I asked while catching her in my embrace.
"What do you mean Axel, Father and I rushed here as soon as we saw the phenomenon that came with your cultivation." Silvara said into my chest but I could hear a slight pout in her voice.
I raised a brow in question to Byron and he smiled slightly and nodded.
"She says the truth. When you were cultivating a massive Divine White Wolf had formed over your manor. We could also feel that you were having a breakthrough but I cant tell what your Realm is."
I could hear the unasked question so I asked Sylph to pull my stats up for me.

Hint: Host needs to at least be in the core formation stage before starting to access more functions of the system.]
"Holy Shit..." I said under my breath. I couldn't believe how much had changed with this single time of cultivating.
Silvara hearing my curse looked up and me with concern on her face. "Axel what's wrong?"
If everyone wasn't concentrating on me they sure were now. Instead of answering Silvara right away I had a silent conversation with Sylph.
"Sylph how is it possibly ok for me to be jumping through the realms so fast. Not to mention I feel like... like... Like I am getting too strong too fast..."
[DING]
[Host please do not worry Goddess Ayla and I are both monitoring your cultivation and body state at all times. You are fine to progress quickly till you get to the peak of Foundation Building Realm. At that point you will have to wait for awhile to advance because we don't want your hard built foundation to crumble. By the way Host if you feel you can trust these people we can just show them your status.]
I pondered her words for a minute before I was pulled out of my musings by Jeeves as he walked into my room and bowed. I could feel it now. Jeeves was suppressing his cultivation level. With a thought I activated appraisal.

*Note: Since Host is too low level you can not see all of Gerard's Stats.]
My reaction definitely grabbed everyone attention. After seeing Jeeves stats I grabbed Silvara in my arms and flashed to the other side of the room holding her behind me. Yes I was scared by that kind of power right next to me. Thinking to this point I tried to use Appraisal on Byron and just got a headache in response. Thankfully Sylph explained it to me.
[DING]
[Due to host not having a high enough level of cultivation you will not be able to see a being such as Byron Tempest's stats as you are to far from his cultivation level.]
Jeeves looked at me and I could see the concern on his face. He really grew concerned when Lozen jumped in front of Silvara and I to protect us after she felt my emotions.
"Master what is wrong? Have I offended you in some way?" Jeeves asked in a soft voice. He almost looked hurt by my reaction to his presence.
All I could do was think to myself,' WHY THE HELL IS SOMEONE SO STRONG ACTING LIKE A HURT CHILD!!!' But I breathed deeply before finally saying what was on my mind.
"Why is someone so strong working as a butler? Why are you suppressing your cultivation realm?" Speaking to this point I looked over at Silvara's Father who had to be way stronger than even Jeeves. "And you... Do they know how strong you actually are?"
Both men looked surprised by my words before I saw them look at each other. It seemed they were assessing each other then they turned back after seemingly finding what they wanted from each other. Byron was the first to speak as he looked at me with a gentle smile. Waving his hand and putting Mia and Leah to sleep he spoke.
"Young man you seem to be a lot more perceptive then I was giving you credit for. To answer your question, no nobody in this kingdom besides the King himself knows how strong I am. Can you tell how strong I am?"
He asked the last part curiosity clear on his face. I shook my head quickly thought before saying one sentence. "No, your power level is to far above mine to see clearly but I know you are much stronger then Jeeves."
Nodding his head Byron smiled before motioning to Jeeves. Taking a step forward Jeeves was about to speak, before he could though Silvara jumped in.
"Axel, what do you mean my father is too strong he is in the Nascent Soul Realm like the City Lord and Jeeves is the same in the Nascent Soul Realm. I have Appraise so I can see it all clearly."
"Silvara Tempest my dear daughter, you don't need to question Axel. What he said is true." Thankfully before I had to tell her myself Byron stepped in and told her that I was saying the truth.
Jeeves taking the lull as a chance to speak, told me something I could understand.
"I have hidden my strength due to extenuating circumstances. As of now I do not feel comfortable disclosing them to you but to ease your worries I will swear an oath on my core to never harm you."
I listened and finally after he finished I felt my body relax. Silvara was looking at her father with an accusatory look though. Byron for his part was doing a masterful job at acting like he didn't see her.
"Hmph!" She snorted and curled back into my embrace which I wasn't going to deny. Looking over at the two snoring women on the floor I decided to trust the people in front of me. I know that I cant get anywhere in life by not trusting people.
"Fine I will show you all something since you have trusted me with this bit of information and an oath. Sylph please show my stats to the people in this room." I said this allowed since everyone already knew that she was with me always.
[DING]
[Yes Host I will show only what is necessary though.]

A holographic screen popped into existence in front of everyone. That is when their jaws all hit the floor collectively.
Silvara was like a statue standing in front of me before she robotically turned her body to face me and then...
*Boom*
I saw a small explosion of red go across her face before she jumped on me.
"Axel how are you getting so strong? This is amazing! I can't believe it in such a short time you have gone from the Second Level Of the Gathering Realm all the way to The Second Level of the Foundation Realm! You are a genius that has never been seen in this kingdom!" While she was talking she kept intermittently giving me small pecks all over my face.
I caught the look on Byron's face from the corner of my eye and I knew he was regarding me with an intensity that only a father in Law would a Son in Law.
"Jeeves I think you should come with me and have a drink. I think these two need some alone time." Picking up Mia before walking out Byron turned back and spoke to Silvara seriously. "Silvara, I am going to deal with your sister and mother tonight. Do not come home for awhile. I will send for you when everything is done."
With that he took the sleeping Mia and left the room. Jeeves bowed to me and left with Leah over his shoulders. To be honest though I wasn't even worried about anything besides the beautiful woman in my arms.
"Axel, lets go lay on your bed." I nodded and scooped her up into a princess carry. Laying her down on the bed I got on top of her on the bed and kissed her passionately.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and drew me closer.
We kissed for about 5 minutes before I pulled back so we could breathe. I could see the lust in her eyes but I could also the hesitancy in her eyes when I looked deeper. I couldn't blame her for that. For some reason though even the instincts I have been developing told me I couldn't take things farther then kissing tonight. I could feel this woman becoming something that even the beast side of me cherished.
I rolled off of her and called to Lozen and Greta to come lay on the giant bed with us. The two lupine beast to cuddle with us. Slowly we talked about nothing and whispered sweet nothings into each others ears before finally falling asleep in each others arms.

*The Next Day*
*Silvara's POV*
I woke up slowly after the most peaceful sleep. Feeling Axel's arms still wrapped tightly around me made me feel so safe. I could tell that Lozen and Greta were both awake but they did nothing to disturb Axel. With our connection I spoke into Greta's mind.
"Greta, I am curious, why are all the beast around Axel so respectful to him? It doesn't make any sense."
Opening one of her deep purple eyes Greta replied," Sil, there are somethings that I cannot tell you unless he approves of it. All I can say is that Axel is basically royalty for any beast that comes across him."
After being stunned for a second I was about to ask another question when Greta and Lozen's heads both shot up staring straight at the door. Not even 10 seconds later a heavy knock came from the door before Jeeves's voice carried through.
"Master, there are some people here demanding your presence. Would you like me to send them away or would you like to meet them."
Once again I was going to speak and reply to Jeeves saying Axel was still sleeping when I heard his masculine and powerful voice.
"I know Jeeves I can sense them but I have been preoccupied with the lovely woman in my arms. Please tell them to wait for ten minutes."
"Yes Master." After Jeeves replied I finally looked up to see Axel's slight smile and his silvery eyes that held so much warmth for me in them.
I didn't say anything I just moved forward and kissed his lips lightly for a moment.
"Good Morning Axel."
