Hero of Harmony (Continued)

Chapter 276: New Clothes

"... Then Lavender would practically force me to drink the potions she made, which is freaking insane! I mean, what woman makes their own disciple drink their untested potions? I know they must be tested, but why couldn't she test them on herself?" Remarked Alexander with a slight frown as he clicked his tongue and shook his head while glancing at Azalea, who was fast asleep in her chair.

"E-Excuse me, sir, but Madam Azalea has long since fallen asleep... You've been speaking to me only." Said China softly with a twitching expression as she glanced at Alexander, who stopped speaking before glancing at Azalea, only to smirk victoriously.

"Heh, what did I tell her? I could speak about Master for hours! Ain't that right, Lazuli." Said Alexander with a smirk as he proudly raised his head, only to glance at Lazuli, who was sitting beside him.

Surprisingly, Lazuli, who was supposed to be sitting right beside me, was nowhere to be seen; tilting my head confusion, I raised my head and looked around, only to realize everyone else was missing as well; the only ones that remained were me, Azalea and China.

'I really do get carried away whenever I speak of Lavender.' Thought Alexander softly with a slightly proud expression as he awkwardly rubbed his head.

Glancing at China, I was about to ask if she wanted to stay and listen, but before I could, she was already pushing Azalea out of the room, leaving me alone in the dining room.

"Haa, well, I guess I should return to my room." Muttered Alexander sadly as he stood up and slowly walked out of the dining room, while following the path he had used to get there.

After a few minutes, I finally returned to my room, though I saw Lazuli lying in bed through the walls, so I made sure to be quiet when I opened and closed the door; with her still asleep, I removed my clothes and entered the bed with her to snuggle. However, just as I wrapped my arms around Lazuli, I felt the sun's warmth hit the back of my head, causing me to turn and look out the window, only to see the sun rising from beyond the horizon.

'Are you kidding me? I was talking about Lavender for THAT long?' Thought Alexander with a twitching expression as he stared at the sun through the window, only to turn around when he felt movement within his arms.

"Good Morning, Alex." Said Lazuli softly as she glanced at Alexander with a smile before kissing his cheek, causing him to close his eyes and sigh.

'I was going to say something, Master, but then Sistser stopped me since she thought it would've been funny... And I agreed.' Said Trina with a faint smile as she ran away from Zartha, who was chasing her through their private dimension, running across the crystal clear water.

Ignoring Trina and Zartha, I firmly wrapped my arms around Lazuli, and forced her into my embrace while resting my head on the pillow as I closed my eyes, drifting to sleep.

"Next time, do not spend so long speaking about Lavender." "Hmph, No." Said Lazuli and Alexander, respectively, as the former attempted to advise him, though the latter promptly refused with a firm voice befitting of no room for negotiation.

After I woke up from my short nap with Lazuli still surprisingly in my arms, we may have gotten slightly intimate with each other, though while doing so, our maid had brought us some clothes.

"I'm coming!" Said Alexander as he struggled to get his pants on over his erection while approaching the door while Lazuli covered herself with the blankets.

Once I got my pants on correctly, I opened the door, expecting to see our maid holding some clothes just as she said, but while I did see our maid, she wasn't alone.

"Ah, Princess Amaryllis, how can I help?" Asked Alexander with a friendly smile as he leaned against his door and gazed downwards at Amaryllis, who was staring at his muscular upper body.
