At the Helden Household

As Hibiki entered his new life, he found himself in a world of luxury and legacy, reborn within the grand walls of Helden Manor. His first sights were of warmth and splendor, and his first touch was that of his father, who proudly cut the umbilical cord, his eyes alight with joy.

"Our prayers have been answered, my love. The gods have blessed us with a son, a true heir to the Helden lineage," declared the broad-shouldered man, his voice filled with pride.

"Truly, he is a marvel," his wife replied softly, gazing at their newborn with radiant adoration.

"My love, when the doctors told us it was impossible—" he paused, holding their son close, "I thought hope had left us. But after years of prayer, the gods have gifted us this precious child." He cradled the infant, his face warm with devotion.

He gently lifted Hibiki and spoke with profound affection: "I am your father, Hibiki, Eberhard Helden. I fought in the great 100-year war between humans and demons. Your late grandfather and his father before him were warriors of the same noble cause." He smiled at his blushing wife. "And this is your mother, Elk Helden. We met after the war."

"Oh, darling, spare our newborn the tale of our courtship," she giggled, her cheeks tinged with embarrassment.

The door swung open, and two women entered with their daughters. One, a demon with ashen skin, gracefully curved horns, and a striking physique, looked barely past her twenties. She wore black lipstick, her presence commanding. Beside her stood a dark elf, slightly older, in her late thirties, who served as a maid. At their sides were their daughters—the demon woman's teenage child and the elf woman's seventeen-year-old daughter.

Eberhard held Hibiki close, turning to the newcomers with a proud smile. "These are your other mothers and half-sisters," he explained gently. "This is Meld, the gray demon, and Sindri, the black elf from the dark forest beyond the human continent. Regard them as your second and third mothers. Know this, my dear son—I love your mother and my other wives equally."

Meld stepped forward, taking Eberhard's arm and nuzzling his neck with a tender yet subtly possessive touch. "Yes, my lord," she murmured, her voice laced with warmth and a glimmer of envy. "Elk has finally gifted you the son you've always hoped for."

Sindri, the dark elf maid, moved to Eberhard's other side and gently held his arm. "This child is a true blessing, my lord," she said, then looked at her daughter, a hybrid of human and dark elf. "Nillal, meet your new half-brother."

Nillal, the seventeen-year-old, looked down at the infant cradled in her arms. Her gaze softened, and a nurturing warmth flooded her heart. "Hello there, little one," she whispered with a gentle smile. "You're going to be my little brother, aren't you? Father may have wanted a son for a long time, but that's never lessened his love for his daughters. I promise to be the best big sister you could ask for." Hibiki seemed to let out a tiny sigh of contentment, snuggling closer to her.

Meld's daughter burst forward with a wide grin and boundless energy. "Wow! I'm not the youngest anymore! I have a baby brother!" She clapped her hands with excitement, her gaze fixated on Hibiki. "Please, big sis, let me hold him! I won't drop him, I promise!"

Nillal smiled but kept a firm hold on Hibiki, her tone kind but steady. "You'll get your turn, little sister. But remember," she added with a teasing smile, "he's not a toy. You remember what happened with our last pet?"

Memta's eager expression faltered, her ears drooping as the memory surfaced. "I thought he was strong enough to spar with me," she admitted, her voice tinged with regret.

Nillal's gaze softened. "He wasn't ready yet—not an adult, let alone a child," she replied gently.

Memta slumped her shoulders, remorse flickering in her eyes. "I'm sorry, big sis," she said, her voice sincere. Nillal embraced her warmly, wrapping her arms around her younger sister and Hibiki. The weight of her love was steady and reassuring.
