Before long, Koul entered his chamber. He was a bit wet and dressed in a simple after bath robe.
As soon as he walked in, Hera launched forward at him. And once again, she pressed Koul into her breasts.
""I'm sorry I slept off," she nuzzled his head against her breasts.
"It's.. it's fine," Koul struggled out amidst the suffocation.
When they pulled apart, his eyes darted toward Yui. Yui shyly looked away as their eyes met but soon looked back.
She had also been waiting for Koul to return.
Koul placed his hands around Hera's waist, then buried his face in the crook of her neck to sniff in her scent.
"Let's have dinner together. I'm tired and would like to retire early for the night. I already told the maids to serve it."
He gently pulled away, then turned to head toward Yui.
"You'll allow us to have dinner with you?"
As soon as she asked that, realization hit him.
Even if the real Koul was starting to mend his relationship with his wives, he wouldn't suddenly get this generous out of nowhere.
[You have acted out of character]
[Launching penalty.. 10.. 9… 8… 7… ]
Calmly, he navigated to his points and paid for the penalty.
A whole 70 points, he said inwardly, staring at his remaining points.
Points: 240
"Yes," he finally replied to Hera.
Turning to Yui, he said.
"You should've asked the maids for new clothes."
But then he realized there were no maids nearby and the vice captain guarding his door had followed him to the council chamber.
And Yui had never sent any maid on any errands before, so she couldn't think to.
Koul walked over to his wardrobe and got clothes for himself.
"I'll help you," Hera offered and started helping him dress.
He thought to offer Yui some clothes for the night but he knew he would be earning another penalty.
Although his points might be enough to wave it off, he didn't want to. He never liked it when these things called clothes caged away the precious things he'd like to leer at and touch.
He concluded it was better if she was only wrapped in the blanket, as that would make it easier for him to touch her if he wanted to.
Plus, the blanket was thick enough, so he wasn't worried she would catch any cold.
The maids brought in his dinner. As offered, he ate with both Hera and Yui then they retired to the bed.
Koul laid down in the middle, while Yui and Hera slept by either side of him.
At first, only Hera placed her head by Koul's shoulder blade and held him tight by the waist. But seeing this, Yui thought she would be left out.
And she didn't want to lose to Hera so she also laid her head on his shoulder. And with one hand, she gently caressed his chest.
Koul on the other hand, had his hands wrapped around their waists from beneath.
He wasn't complaining. Even when it felt hard and quite suffocating to have them on him, he loved it.
After all, some parts of their breasts were pressing against him.
This is Heaven, he breathed. But if I'm not careful, I'll veer off to hell.
Gently and slowly, he rubbed their loaves, squeezing and massaging.
None of them spoke or pulled away. They kept quiet and allowed Koul to do as he fitted.
Sleep slowly started to envelope them. And while they drifted slowly into it, Koul didn't relent in kneading their loaves.

In a well lit room decorated with fancy luxury like Koul's chambers but a bit lacking and smaller, prince Armin stood by the window.
His eyes were glued to the outside where the preparations for the duel took place. Despite it being late, the workers had to prepare the duel grounds ready since it was to happen in the morning.
A big smile was on Armin's face as he watched the palace workers bustle here and there.
On a soft chair behind him sat the girl, Koul's ex-wife. Prince Armin turned to her after a moment, his smiley face turning stern.
"I thought he would be out there desperately trying to learn some tricks, but he's been cooped up inside his room since he left?" He questioned knowingly, drawing his gaze from the girl to the outside and back.
The girl didn't speak, she remained quiet, simply staring at prince Armin but she appeared a bit lost in her own thoughts.
"Why?" Armin continued. "Has he forgotten how much I beat him in front of everyone?" He asked, anger simmering within him.
Still met with no response from the girl, Armin drew a breath, calming himself.
"No. I'm definitely the one overthinking things. I'm sure he locked himself up to appear calm but is panicking inside," he chuckled to himself.
"Who knows? He might've taken in guards and asked them to show him some tricks, bahahaha."
Seeing the girl show no reaction to his banters, Armin's face stiffened up.
"What's with that face? You're not thinking he has a chance against me, are you?" He questioned sternly.
The girl broke away from her thoughts, and gazed up at Armin with a sneaky smile.
"Of course not! How can that coward ever have a chance against you?" She questioned and they burst out laughing about it.
"I can't wait to humiliate him again and free another girl from his grasp," Armin breathed.
"Free?" The girl questioned with a look of confusion.
"Yes," Armin replied proudly. "I get to choose a girl among his wives and take her as my play toy. Which to them is freedom, because I'm a much better man than him."
He turned back to the window to continue watching the preparation, his head heavy with prideful confidence.
A much better man… the girl thought in her head, eyes a bit dull with an unreadable expression.
