Arpious of the Planes

I went on with the rest of my day and ended up having my first real bath in quite a while. My wives helped me clean myself and we ended up enjoying ourselves for a bit, of course without me using [Ancient Reproduction Art].

It was nice to relieve some stress and spend time with my wives.

After the bath, my maids helped change me into the same baggy hospital clothes but before going to bed, I was going to check up on Ava. It's been long enough and I don't want her mind to break fully to the point of no return.

Tup Tup Tup

My wolf's footsteps echoed through the hallway before it stopped in front of the giant metal door. I lifted the metal bar and pushed the door open, revealing the various torture devices, chains, and Ava who was chained to a wall.

My wolf then walked towards a chair which I sat down on.

[Grand Water Magic]

I made a small blade of water on my fingertip and I sliced down, perfectly cutting the blindfold in half, revealing Avas eyes which were like that of a dead fish.

"Ava, wake up,"

No reaction.

*sigh*

I gather a ball of water in my hand and throw it at her face. She flinched slightly and raised her head before dipping it back down.

"If you don't look at me right now I'm putting the blindfold back on,"

She suddenly jolted her head up and had pleading eyes, as if she was saying to not put her through that terrible experience again. Her eyes were dry of tears but they suddenly started to flow again as she saw my slightly angered expression.

I scooted my chair a bit forward and then unchained her, leaving her to drop to the hard, cold, stone floor. She didn't even try to retaliate as she looked up at me, who was looking at her like she was just an ant.

A shiver was sent through her spine as she avoided my gaze by hanging her head once more.

"Ava look up at me,"

Her collar started to squeeze her neck but she knew immediately what to do and looked straight up, but still avoided my gaze.

"You're my pet now so you are required to call me 'Master.' You WILL follow my every order and if I ever call for you, you will be in front of me no matter the situation… unless I give permission,"

"Y-yes master," Ava responds.

"Good girl… now you need to prove your loyalty… kiss my foot," I say without the influence of the collar.

Ava's face turns pale but quickly complies. Her shaky pale hand reaches towards my foot and grabs it slightly before moving her face in and kissing it slightly. I was glad she didn't start licking my foot like Yin since I wasn't into that type of stuff…

"Good girl, do you want a reward?"

"R-reward? W-what reward can I have?" Ava asks with a weary smile.

"Well, Yin usually asks me to pet her, would you like that?"

"C-can I have anything else?"

"You want something else?"

"N-no, I-I'm fine," Ava stutters as I pat my lap.

She understood the gesture and immediately crawled onto my lap. The only thing I could sense was fear practically dripping from her as I started to pet her. She started to relax and her eyes grew droopy. She must've been exhausted because she probably cried herself to sleep then woke up… but everything was still dark.

Her flowing tears soon stopped and her heavy breathing had slowed as well. It wasn't long before I could hear light snores as she fell asleep.

*sigh*

"Yin, I know you're here,"

"Is master abandoning me?" Yin asks with a sad expression as she rises out of the shadows.

"Of course not. She's going to be the leader of the Air Corps and my other pet so don't bully or kill her,"

"Yes, master,"

"Good girl, now bring her to an empty room. Once she wakes up I want you to start training her,"

"As you wish," Yin responds.

[Day 45]

Today, Hades had grown slightly, but Freya and Luna had grown much taller. Both of them had hit the 4 and a half feet mark. They also seemed much more energetic because they were running up and down the halls with the maids trying to catch them.

Even though they aren't able to fully use their stats like Hades, the maids couldn't just flash step and scoop them up. They were scared it might injure them so getting them to come to breakfast, lunch, and dinner was a pain.

The rest of the day went smoothly… besides our mealtimes because of my daughters… With Hades practicing hard with her mom and even with the maids secretly. Though the maids were going easy on him, it was nice to see him practice since my maids' "easy sparring," was something most adventurers in my kingdom couldn't handle.

Luna and Freya watched Hades restlessly but never asked to practice because of my statement yesterday. They even tried to replicate some of the swings Hades was learning but since they had no weapon they both failed in the end.

It might've just been because they had no weapon, but when they tried to practice swinging in the air, it looked very unnatural. I decided to give them some wooden sticks to try and confirm my suspicion.

Looks like I was right…

The moves they tried to replicate looked weird and unnatural, compared to Hades who instantly absorbed the simple moves.

"They might be proficient with some other weapon… scythe maybe?"

"Huh," Luna says, hearing me talking to myself.

"Nothing, that's enough I need the sticks back. Plus your moms might kill me if they find out that you have been practicing with weapons… well maybe. I'm just not going to test it," I say with both of my daughters handing back the wooden sticks.

"Mommy, can we still watch brother?" Freya asks.

"Go ahead," I say before going back to the throne room.

I needed to notify Aito about my other 2 kids who will be attending the academy and instead of getting Yin to tell him, I just used my newly improved [Grand Mind Magic].

'Aito, I have 2 more kids attending the academy. Their names are Freya and Luna. Make sure nobody finds out about their identities and make sure they don't go spreading their identities,'

There was no response since it was only one-way telepathy but I'm pretty sure I got the message across.

[Day 46]

Today Freya and Luna had grown once again, reaching 5'5, just a bit below their brother. Their speech had also improved greatly but they still called me "mommy."

Last night I slept in my original room since there was no point in me staying in the other room, but my maids insisted that I continue wearing the hospital-like clothes. Maybe it was because it covered up my missing arm and leg but that doesn't make much sense since we don't have many visitors.

Today was the day before my children were going to be sent to the academy so I taught Freya and Luna how to use the system, while also teaching them how to deactivate and then reactivate their wings and tail.

It took them much longer compared to their brother to do these steps since their concentration was at the bare minimum. They were hyper all the time and sometimes they would just be running up and down the castle hallways.

But eventually, they were able to achieve it, so I brought Hades to our little group session in the throne room. It was just me and my kids and I decided to teach them how to use their most necessary skills such as with Hades, his most necessary skills would be, [Necromancy] and [Forbidden Magic: Medusa].

[Necromancy] was something only Aika could teach him since I don't know how it works. I honestly don't know if Aika even knows how it works since I've never seen her practice it, but I'm still going to leave it to Aika.

[Forbidden Magic: Medusa] was something I could teach to Hades and Luna since they both had it.

I first taught all 3 of them the base of skills and how they can just imagine using the skill which would activate it… the problem was controlling the unique skill.

Medusa was something you could do to petrify ANYTHING you touch. I emphasized anything because they could easily kill somebody with this dangerous skill.

I had them practice it on some of the wooden training sticks for body conditioning since they were usually dense and didn't break easily… but of course, they stood no match against medusa.

Both of them got the hang of it by imagining it enveloping and crumbling the stick. Both of their training sticks turn to grey ashes and then disappear with the small breeze that entered through the windows.

"Great job. Now Freya it's your turn, your forbidden magic is a bit harder to use and get the hang of, so we're going outside,"
