It was a funny and awkward scene that greeted Keith when he entered the main living room the next morning.
There, in front of his dear wife, stood the Goldsmith Twins as well as Zoey. The three of them had their heads lowered for some reason, and they were all fidgeting as Amelia scrutinised them.
She was not saying anything and was just looking at them, and both Iseul and Minami were clearly trying to suppress their smiles.
"Amy." He gently called out to her before walking up and wrapping his arms around her from behind. "Missed you." He planted a kiss on her head as he squeezed he a little in his arms.
"I missed you too." She smiled and then turned around to kiss him on the lips.
It was not a chaste kiss, or something too passionate, but it lasted a while, and Keith felt all her love for him conveyed through it.
"So, I guess you wanted to surprise me?" He playfully asked.
She had come announced, but he had thought she would arrive in the afternoon.
"Yes." She nodded. "But I ended up getting surprised, my dear Husband."
Her words made the three girls nervous, and then when they heard her next words, their bodies visibly shook.
"Why don't you introduce me to your newfound little lovers?"
"Of course." He chuckled and then wrapped his arm around her waist, leading her in front of the first. "This is Zoey Alvarez. She is the daughter of the Alvarez Family, a student of Fine Arts at Mystich University, my biggest fan, and as you have guessed, my lover."
The way he introduced her to Amelia nearly gave Zoey a heart attack, but she was a confident girl and stepped forward, putting up a smile on her face.
"It is nice to meet you, Mrs. Demiliore." She chose her address very wisely, and Amelia smiled as she shook hands with her.
"Nice to meet you too, Miss Zoey." Her words were polite, but she offered no more words that would have eased the tension between them.
"And this is Amira, and her younger sister by seven minutes, Reina. They are from the Goldsmith Family, and they are both sophomores at Mystich City High School. Though not my lovers yet, they do belong to me."
"Interesting..." She smiled as she found the twins a little too nervous right now. "Does Rebecca know about them?"
"Not yet." Keith shook his head.
"She is not going to be pleased with you." Amelia smiled at him, and her words sank the hearts of the three girls.
How would they know that though Amelia was right about Rebecca, it was not the reason the three of them had in mind?
His blonde wife was going to be displeased with him for not informing her beforehand and depriving her of the chance to spoil their innocent minds.
Keith, however, enjoyed the nervousness that the three were drowning in and then to add to it, audibly sighed at her words.
"Hopefully, she won't be too mad. After all, I plan on leaving Amira and Reina in her care." He said something that made Amelia curious but also tensed up the twins. "Let's have our breakfast. I am hungry."
Listening to his words, all of them walked into the dining room, and then, the twins, under the lead of Minami, set up the table before taking their seats.
Amelia finally engaged the three in a conversation, making them feel a little at ease in her presence.
Zoey, despite her nature, stayed very quiet at the table, and surprisingly, it was the twins who opened up to Amelia and happily chatted with her.
"There are interesting." Amelia smiled when Keith took her to the room and closed the door behind him.
"Of course." He smiled. "Why else would I choose them?"
"Tell me, are they just interesting or are they any special too?" She curiously asked as she sat on the couch, letting him rest his head in her lap.
"They are special too." He nodded. "All three of them possess Elemental Innate Physiques."
"Elemental Innate Physiques?" She curiously raised her brow.
"Yes." He nodded. "Those who possess these Elemental Innate Physiques are perfect Cauldrons, a term used for bedwarmers with whom copulation improves your Cultivation and the affinity for the Element you both possess. They can be perfect dual Cultivation partners. And even if you don't possess the same Element as the Cauldron, it can still be very beneficial to you to copulate with them."
"So they are only tools meant to assist the other?"
"No." Keith shook his head. "Those with Innate Elemental Physiques have a great affinity with their Element. They can Master it with ease, and it also provides them with great resistance against that Element. If they become Dao Companions with someone who possesses the same Elemental Physique, their progress would be outrageously fast and smooth. Dao means 'Law', and the term 'Dao Companion' is synonymously used for married people, which is wrong. Only when your Spouse's Laws resonate with your Laws, could you be counted as Dao Companions."
"Which Element is Zoey?" Amelia curiously asked. "Fire?"
"Yes." He nodded. "She awakened it a day ago, which is why you found her body feverish."
"Oh." She nodded her head. "So she can control Fire with ease?"
"Yes."
"And is Immune to it?"
"No." Keith shook his head. "Only certain Divine Physiques can achieve immunity to some Elements. And Innate Physiques can at best evolve into Heavenly Physiques, but if they are very fortunate and they manage to bond with an Elemental Spirit of Immortal grade, they have a very small chance to evolve their Physique into an Immortal Physique. However, that would be the limit. But they do possess great resistance to the said elements."
"I see." She nodded her head. "And possessing a Fire Physique can help someone on the path of Alchemy and Smithing."
Keith smiled when he heard her words.
He had a conversation with Qingyue over Alchemy, and she was present in the room too at that time.
"Yes. But having the right tools does not mean that you have a talent for it. However, someone with an Innate Fire Physique can indeed be trained into a decent Alchemist and a Smith."
"Which is what you plan for her?"
"Yes."
Amelia nodded to him and then seemed to think over something.
"You plan on giving her to Qingyue?"
"I plan on teaching her the Art of Smithing." He informed her.
"I want her." She suddenly said, catching him off-guard.
Keith did not speak for a good few minutes and kept looking into her emerald eyes.
He could guess her intentions. After all, he knew all about her.
As someone born to rule over others, she was ambitious. Very ambitious. And now she had set eyes on Zoey, an invaluable asset.
However, her demand was not something he could not fulfil.
"Fine." He smiled, evoking a smile on her lips as well.
"Thank you." She sincerely said.
"You're welcome." He nudged her nose.
"And Amira and Reina?"
"They want to become doctors, and they have an affinity for it as well."
"That's why you want to leave them in Rebecca's care." She nodded to herself. "And their Elements?"
"Wood. They are very close to nature."
"That explains their floral scent." She nodded.
"Yes." He chuckled and then planted a kiss on her belly, making it tickle.
Keith closed his eyes as soon as she started running her fingers through his hair, just the way he liked it.
There was a very comfortable silence between them, and both had smiles on their faces.
"Keith." She called out to him after a long while.
"Yes, Love?"
"I want to talk to you about something."
"Yes?" He opened his eyes and turned to look at her.
Instead of speaking, she showed him what she wanted to talk about.
Her eyes suddenly turned to a beautiful golden shade, and Keith, who was looking into them saw the ever-changing patterns inside her irises.
"They are beautiful." He smiled at her, and though she was very serious right now, she could not help but smile at his words.
"I can see better than ever, Keith."
"Interesting..." He frowned.
"And I can see through any obstacle, even look inside the stones and the human body." She meaningfully said, gauging his expression.
However, Keith did not give away anything and frowned.
"That's a convenient power."
"Do you have any idea what it could be?"
"There exist races who have the ability similar to an X-Ray Vision. There exist some powerful treasures too which can grant this ability." He said and then stared into her eyes. "Your eyes are still the same as before, except that more patterns are running through them now."
Keith did not want her to know that he gave her the Spirit Eyes. After all, it was something that involved the Divine Laws, and it was not a feat that even some Gods could achieve. And now was not the right time for her to learn about these things.
"What worries you?" He asked.
"I am just curious." She frowned.
"Well, the race Runic Monarch belonged to has the ability of an X-Ray Vision and much more." He said and watched her eyes widen in surprise. "Stop thinking too much." He nudged her nose. "And tell me, are you looking at my nakedness right now?"
"They don't seem to work on you." She curiously said, and then frowned at the smile on his face.
Her eyes soon widened in surprise when her gaze managed to penetrate through his clothes.
"Now?"
His answer was the blush on her face, but now she had another question on her mind.
"How did you do it?"
"I have natural Shields that protect me from prying eyes, but since we are wedded in a Sacred Vow, I can safely lower them before you."
"But I still can't see into your body."
"And nor would I let you." He winked at her before reaching up and capturing her lips.
Amelia passionately responded to him and assisted him as he undressed her.
Her mind was freed of all the thoughts that had been occupying it, and now, only the anticipation of the pleasure resonated in it.
The moment he entered inside of her, she felt complete, and then the song of passion escaped her lungs as he made love to her in the most passionate of manners.
It was a funny and awkward scene that greeted Keith when he entered the main living room the next morning.
There, in front of his dear wife, stood the Goldsmith Twins as well as Zoey. The three of them had their heads lowered for some reason, and they were all fidgeting as Amelia scrutinised them.
