Chapter 739: Chapter 738-Time To Strengthen The Bond With Phase 2.

The situation from then on unfolded in a normal family-like manner, with all four of us just talking about the days we had. Nora talked about her current training, the little skirmishes she had in her faction, the new advances she made in her bloodline's abilities, the small fun times she spent with her friends, and her current studies.

It was the same with Elda as she spoke about the time she spent with her friends, the round trips she went on, the cla.s.ses she was learning, and the small fun details of her life over the past two days. Afterward, my mother went to speak about her time, how her teaching was going, and the time she was spending with her friends.

She talked about the enjoyment she gets from teaching the students, and the rush of her training. My mother had already made it clear that she had stepped back into her own training, which is going well with my gifts for her and the subtle life energy I infuse into her at times I can.

Overall, we didn't talk about any more dangerous or dark subjects after this. It was just our family time spent in each other's warmth, just enjoying the time we had with each other. A scene that would have been impossible a few years ago and even in the game, it wasn't a good, happy family within the Lionheart dukedom.

It was more fractured and hated, the setting being more useful to the players, which helped us take advantage of the weaknesses around to make our play on the characters, but in real life seeing that everything was good and seeing them smile only made me feel a sense of peace. Of course, I know that hidden behind this is still their worry for me.

And among the topics they didn't speak of is the amount of training they are doing to become stronger. Right now, Nora is pus.h.i.+ng her control of mana and her bloodline to the limit, Elda is training like a freak in her own healing powers, trying to maximize it and get full control over it such that she will be able to heal me in any situation.

'She has already subtly created her dominance around that triplet friend of hers.'

Those friends who worked under her are now understanding that something was coming and my mother needed them. The warriors she had let go are now being slowly gathered under her again by that dear maid who looked after me when I was young. Power was slowly being gathered in her hands, and I could see that it was making my uncle feel not too well about it.

'I can't stop this, but it would be good for the plans I have in motion for what is to come.'

It would only make me happier if they got stronger. I have no doubts that it would be helpful for them, especially when my harem faction slowly starts to come to light. For now, before jumping toward the rest of the girls, I want to slowly open up the possibility of rivalry that exists around them.

The main issue would be with Olivia and Scarlet. They are the ones that I have agreed to have a relations.h.i.+p with and am going around with, so how can I create the perfect atmosphere of rivalry and hate such that I will be the innocent one from whom their love will not waver but only increase?

As I thought this, my hands on my sisters' waists tightened, feeling their bodies being pressed against me with their scent filling my nose. My gaze closed up, my mother still patting my head. In the game, this is close to the strategy I had used to hold the harem back, but even in the game, I had a lot of restrictions I couldn't use, but it's different here in real life.

'I have a lot more options.'

I have reached the stage where rather than pus.h.i.+ng more for conquest, I need to stabilize the situation around me. Because if I didn't stop to deal with it now, then the s.h.i.+t show that will come will only put me in such deep s.h.i.+t that I won't be able to swim out of it no matter how hard I try. The basis of trust is very important, after all.

'That means I must slowly start to release those things out.'

There is still the engagement talk between me and Olivia going on, and while we have gotten physical, the truth of our relations.h.i.+p is a secret, which gives me some leeway to work with. Because if the truth is out, then this beautiful relations.h.i.+p between my family will take a nosedive with trust being lost that I worked very hard to get.

'One of the bigger headaches will be Mira.'

I mused. My aunt is another one, along with my teacher Eleanor. To them, I only love them and my first time has only been with them. I have no other girls other than that. Granted, with Mira, I might have first shown off my love with s.h.i.+ra and used that as the basis to grow, which would mean that is another side I will have to use.

'Marlene and Catherine have already formed their own alliance, there is my family one with Olivia and more.'

Till now, I have done my very best to keep the meetings and trysts set aside, but now it's time that I slowly let the trysts start to meet. I wanted to take some more time to do it, especially after I conquered Isabella and Ella. Both of them would have been very useful for my plans, especially when I would be using the manipulations of Isabella for my own gain.

'But now that will have to change.'

The arrival of the so-called regressor has thrown a wrench into my plan, the whole situation has just come to make me feel as if things would slip away from my hands if I took any more time. And I have learned to listen to my gut when it asks me to, so I will be pus.h.i.+ng for my plans earlier than I thought I would.

'But this is good too.'

I thought, right now it's a delicate balance, and perhaps taking action now would be even better for me. The change in plans I have made would only come to profit me, which would mean it's time to start the second phase of "I Want To Have A Peaceful Harem," which implies throwing several things to s.h.i.+t.

'I guess a war of another level will begin before the true war starts.'

I thought so, after which I focused back on my family, my plan for tomorrow already set. For the second phase to begin, I need to first strengthen the connections that I already have and leave the hints that I must leave for the girls themselves to put it all together. Of course, I must be very careful while doing so.

None of these girls are idiots. If they even feel a whiff of manipulation anywhere, I will be in another s.h.i.+t show, which would lead to a bad end that I won't be able to handle. Thankfully, several hours of gaming in the past had taught me the correct amount of push and pull I need to give to make things right.

And even better is the fact that now everything is reality. I have several moves I can make to make sure things would go smoothly, the only worry being the other two regressors I have to deal with, which my gut tells me would be the biggest obstacle I would have to overcome in my phase two initiation.

...

"Come on, list just sleeping together!"

I remarked as I pulled Nora and Elda into my bed, the three of us falling into it with Elda on my right and Nora on my left, the three of us having sneaked in here or in a better sense I kidnapped the two into this room with the servants not noticing, my mother had given me naughty gaze at it but she let it go for now, sacrificing her time for her children.

'What a good mother~'

I mused as Nora in my embrace spoke in an embarra.s.sed tone.

"Austin, I won't do it like this....."

Her tone was firm, to which I with a smile replied.

"Do what? I just want to sleep today hugging the two of you?"

My completely innocent reply having caught Nora off guard as she blushed a bit.

"Big brother....."

At Elda's call, I turned my head which at that moment itself Elda rushed to take my lips, kissing me, her sweet natural taste filling my mouth as she kept taking a sip of my lips, from the side my eyes I watched the surprised expression my older sister as my tongue entered the mouth of my younger sister, my hand going to curl around Elda's lithe waist pulling her

closer.
