The Demon King's Paladin

Chapter 176. Morning Output Training

/Chu./

I feel a warm sensation on my lips and a familiar pleasant smell that wakes me from my sleep. I hope it's just a part of my dream and I try to drift back to sleep.

/Chu./

Another, different but familiar scent entered my nose as I felt another sensation on my lips.

" I get it, I'm awake."

I open my eyes to see Anna pulling away from me to my left as Sarah was smiling at me from my left. It seems it was her idea to wake me up this way.

" Good morning, Sarah, Anna."

To my greeting, both of my wives smile and respond, one at a time.

" Good morning, My Love."

" Good morning, Darling."

I sit up and rub my eyes to help wake me up.

" We've been allowed to borrow the training grounds today. We'll begin practicing after breakfast."

Sarah spoke with excitement as I stood up from bed to handle my morning routine of using the bathroom and brushing my teeth. Once I had finished my business, I entered the living room where both of my wives were sitting on the couch and eating breakfast.

" No dining with the Royal Family this time?"

To my question, Sarah finished swallowing the savory porridge with pieces of bacon in it and began to answer my question.

" I thought it'd be... Less awkward to eat by ourselves than with the Royal Family since..."

" My opponent for the afternoon would be eating with us?"

Sarah nodded to my words. I looked down at the food as I took a seat opposite my wives, and I picked my bowl of porridge up in my hands.

" I guess that would be kind of awkward."

I took a bite of the porridge. They used a pork stock for it. I guess it fits with the bacon. It tasted delicious!

" It's so nice to not have to worry about eating food from strangers anymore."

 Sarah spoke with joy as she saw my smile from eating. Ever since Anna made a contract with the Goddesses, her eyes have gain new abilities. The most useful for a situation like this is her newest eye called " Poison Eye", which unlike what the name would imply, lets her see if something or someone is poisoned. When I first heard her say the name, I assumed it allowed her to poison someone by looking at them. She then explained to me that the Goddesses told her that the skills she would gain are based on her own desires. I guess her concern for me has only grown in time. I felt bad about it. At least I did, until Anna told me about how much better she feels now that she can check for my safety whenever she pleases.

" Admittedly it does make everything easier. Thank you by the way, Anna."

" Don't thank me, thank the Goddess of the Underworld!"

Anna smiled as she pointed to the source of our comfort.

" Who would've thought that making a contract with an Underworld Goddess would give you such a useful ability."

" Are you saying my eye abilities were lacking before?"

Anna began to tease me because of my words. I took another bite of my breakfast before speaking.

" I wouldn't go that far, but having more abilities is always useful, just look at me. Because of my evolution and meeting Gil, Rex and Hank, my options have increased. I guess it's a similar case with the contracts you have with the Goddesses."
