Reincarnated in the Astral World

Arthur is very pleased to see Margaret so happy and also surprised that Aria has accepted her as a disciple. This is really good because Arthur sees Margaret as a dear friend, so knowing that she will be able to grow stronger and protect herself makes him feel more at ease.

Yet, he can also see how having her around every day would create all sorts of situations to affect his relationship with Nyx. She has been silent for a while, but Arthur is certain that tonight, she will have a lot to complain about, and he doesn't have the right to be upset for it.

Right now, he simply can't push Margaret away, especially when she seems so happy and isn't trying anything bold beyond hugging him.

"That's great news, Margaret," he says in a warm tone while stroking her black hair gently.

"Yeah! Your mother is the best!!" She exclaims and continues to hug him, unable to contain her emotions.

While many conflicting thoughts arise in Nyx's mind, Aria observes the scene from a distance and shakes her head wryly.

'Is this really a good idea?' She sighs. 'At least, this way, I can keep an eye on them…' She allows Margaret to hug Arthur for another minute before waving her finger and making the girl float away from him with her magic.

"Whaahhh!??" Margaret is taken by surprise, with her body already missing the contact with Arthur.

"If you want rewards, first you have to put in some work," Aria speaks in a wise tone as she takes Margaret to the other side of the yard, a cheap facade to hide her budding jealousy.

"Yes, Master!!" She is very determined to give her best to stay by Arthur's side and willing to obey all of her orders.

Aria can see the resolve shining in Margaret's eyes, but she also understands that the excited girl cannot contain her feelings for Arthur when she is close to him. As such, she creates a wall of dark panels in the middle of the lawn, dividing the yard into two so they can cultivate separately.

Afterward, she uses the rest of the afternoon to teach Margaret the fundamentals about cultivation; she doesn't go into detail about Lineages and Astral Beasts, although she already has some plans for that as well later on.

Margaret strives to learn, while sneaking a few glances at Arthur when Aria isn't watching. Later on, they prepare dinner together during the evening, which ends up being as delicious as the lunch. After eating a few more candies brought by Margaret as dessert, Arthur accompanies her home.

They enjoy a relaxing walk under the moonlight, and with the romantic atmosphere, Margaret tries very hard to contain her feelings and behave. They only talked about cultivation, after which she said goodbye to Arthur with a hug and a gentle kiss on the cheek, making Arthur feel grateful for her restrained behavior.

His day was full of nice surprises, most of them because of Margaret, and Arthur is in a good mood as he returns home. The moment he enters his bedroom though, his good mood disappears, replaced by the worry of how affected Nyx would be by the same events.

Contrary to his concerns though, she just materializes her body next to him as soon as he lies down in bed. Her expression seems calm and thoughtful, leaving Arthur confused.

'Is this some kind of technique to calm me down, and then torture me when I let my guard down?'

Arthur doesn't know what to do; he has no experience in romantic relationships in both lifetimes, and all he saw Draven do in those fourteen years was obey Aria, which didn't prevent his mother from separating from him, so Arthur doesn't think that obeying his wife like a dog would yield good results.

Yet, he also understands how he may have hurt Nyx by allowing Margaret to get so close to him.

'AhhhhhhhhhhhHH!!! This is so complicated!!'

After a long sigh, he looks at Nyx lying next to him. She doesn't let him be tortured by his guilt any longer before putting an arm and a leg over his body as usual.

Arthur sleeps in shorts and t-shirt because if Nyx starts to touch his chest directly, it will awaken his predatory instincts, and it will be impossible not to eat her. Even so, he enjoys feeling her warmth through his clothes. She, on the other hand, has returned to wearing her black bikini that only covers her intimate parts.

Arthur wants to ask her how she feels, but he fears her response, so he just adjusts his arm behind her neck and pulls her head to rest on his chest. She just lays there, well-behaved like a good wife, leaving Arthur even more confused.

After a few minutes of silence, she starts to make circles on his chest with her finger, making it clear that she wants to say something.

"You can talk to me, Nyx," he says in a gentle tone and strokes her face. "Our relationship should be based on trust and communication."

She makes a thoughtful and hesitant expression. "I don't know how to say it..."

"Is it about Margaret?" He doesn't want to just ignore the problem and goes straight to the point.

"I understand," she interrupts him. "You couldn't be rude to her; you're not like that…"

He can see the concern in her eyes and quickly tries to make his position clear. "I like Margaret, but just as a friend; I like having her around, and I want her to be happy, but I don't feel for her what I feel for you."

"You don't need to tell me that," Nyx smiles, but despite her words, she is secretly happy about his words.

"I know how you feel; I can see how Margaret feels, and..." She hesitates a little but gathers courage and speaks her mind. "I can't blame you for liking her when she is so nice to you..."

Arthur is really happy that Nyx is not angry at him, but he is confused because she still seems hesitant.

"I can ask her to contain her feelings," He doesn't want to hurt her feelings, so he quickly suggests. "If I tell her that it may ruin our relationship, I think she will stop."

"She won't stop," Nyx speaks in a confident tone. "She loves you and will do anything for you; maybe she can pretend to contain her feelings, but it will hurt her inside, and you will blame yourself."

Arthur can't help but blame himself already; after all, it's his feelings for Margaret that make him hate the idea of hurting the poor girl.

"So help me find a solution then.." he asks Nyx. "I don't know what to do, honey…"

"I know..." She comments but immediately falls silent afterward, her heart filled with conflicting feelings, making him curious as he waits for her to speak.

She looks into his eyes, her eyes shining with resignation.

"What if I say it's okay?"

"What is?" Arthur gets confused.

Nyx hesitates for a few seconds but speaks again in a determined tone. "I mean, it's okay if Margaret stays... the way she wants."

"I think I got it wrong," Arthur has an idea of what Nyx means, but that seems crazy, or rather, too good to be true.

She looks away as she feels embarrassed about her proposal. "Margaret has already made it clear that she doesn't want to steal my place, so... m-maybe…"

Arthur has no more doubt about what she is suggesting, but he can't believe she would be willing to accept something like that. He can't even imagine her being with other men, so he naturally thinks she feels the same way.

"Wait, are you really encouraging me to have another lover?" He asks.

"I'm not encouraging you!" She says in an upset tone and gives a cute punch in his chest. "I would like to be the only woman in your heart, but..."

She becomes shy and hides her face in his chest. "I want the best for you... even if it's not very pleasant for me..."

Her declaration fills Arthur's heart with gratitude. He kisses Nyx's head and strokes the tips of her horns.

"You don't need to make such a sacrifice for me, dear. We are fine like this, aren't we?"

"We are," Nyx begins to affectionately nuzzle Arthur's neck. "But it wouldn't be so bad... I mean, Margaret is so dedicated and loyal to you... she's good for you... and you like her...You definitely can't go around looking for other wives, but if it's just Margaret and you want her... I can allow it." Her tone is sincere and tender.

Since Nyx seems willing to be so accommodating and open-minded for him, he has to respond in kind. "How could we make this work?"

Nyx shows him a finger like Aria did to Margaret. "There are conditions, and the first one is that you let me talk to her; I will make it clear that I am your first wife, your main wife!! And she can only have a share of you if she knows her place," she says in a confident and proud tone.

But Arthur doesn't think she would humiliate Margaret or anything like that, just assure her position in his heart, and that seems the least he can do in such a situation. He is also sure that Margaret would have no problems with that; she has already made it clear that she is fine being his second wife.

"Sounds right," he says in a calm tone.

Nyx looks into his eyes and then shows two fingers. "The second condition is that you make it up to me."

"Oh, dear," he can't help but smile at her request. So he holds her face and looks into her eyes. "Whatever you desire."

She shows a bright and warm smile, her heart beating faster, feeling Arthur's emotions. "So it's all right, you have my permission to accept Margaret as your second wife."

Arthur still doesn't understand his feelings for Margaret and isn't sure what he wants to do in the future, but knowing that Nyx is willing to share him with other women makes him love her even more.

He can't think of Margaret now; only Nyx is in his mind and his heart, only his beloved succubus now…

'Nyx, you are so precious!' He exclaims in her mind and seals her lips with a passionate kiss.

She also doesn't think about anything other than him and responds eagerly, straddling his body to kiss him even deeper. Arthur places a hand behind her neck and pulls her face even closer towards his, while the other roams around her back and waist freely as he kisses her passionately.

That is no longer enough to express his feelings, so he pushes his tongue into her little mouth, which opens immediately, and Nyx's long and delicate tongue dances to his rythm. He sucks the sweet nectar from inside her mouth while she delights in the mixture of their saliva.

"Mm~~" She can't prevent cute moans from escaping her mouth while feeling so good.

"More... I want more... ahhh..." She pleads while making her tongue coil around his hungrily.

"Show me... mmmm... show me how you feel!" She asks between moans.

"Sure, honey," Arthur continues to kiss Nyx madly.

They spend half the night exploring each other's mouths and bodies as they intertwine their tongues in a battle of domination.

When Nyx finally falls asleep on Arthur's chest, her face is painted with the colors of satisfaction.

He falls asleep shortly after, waking up the next day with the delicious taste of Nyx filling his mouth, a taste so good he would never want to replace it.
