The sky grew dark, but Eryon showed no intention of waking up. Taylor created a flame in his hand, and the book vanished. Turning to Eryon, he gently stroked her cheek.
He drew a rune in midair, Eryon's naked body was immediately clad in an elegant outfit. Carefully picking her up in his arms, he headed toward the exit.
Once outside, he was about to manifest wings to fly away, but he stopped. His gaze lifted to the sky, where dark angels were descending from the darkness.
Among them, a woman who seemed to be the leader approached and asked cautiously "Heir of the Flame House, can you return our guide to us?"
Taylor looked at them with a cold glare and replied in a cold voice "Disappear. I won't repeat myself."
The group appeared genuinely frightened, and one of them even considered stepping forward anyway. However, he was stopped by the woman from before, who took the initiative.
"Please forgive us, we were reckless," she said respectfully, before they all flew away.
Taylor, watching them leave, murmured with an impassive expression "Cowards, running away over a simple threat."
He manifested wings and flew toward his other villa; it didn't take him long to arrive.
As he entered, two girls ran toward him but froze when they saw what he was holding in his arms.
Jessica asked, confused "Is this girl Bianca?"
"No. Her name is Eryon, the authority of Vespera" Taylor replied as he passed by them.
Evelyn, following him, asked curiously "So how did you become interested in her?"
Taylor replied indifferently "I have no idea. I'll find out over time."
Entering his room, he laid her on the bed and asked, turning to the two girls "What did you do today?"
Jessica replied with a serene smile "I went for a walk around the island with Sofia."
Evelyn said with a proud expression "I took care of your work while you were away."
Taylor took both of them by the waist, pulling their bodies against his, and asked "Do you want to sleep or do a bit of evening activity?"
Evelyn blushed at his words, while Jessica, without hesitation, declined "You know I have to go to the academy, and I'm not ready to do something like this."
Taylor let them go and, lying down on the bed, said "Alright, then come."
The two girls lay down on either side of him. Evelyn had Taylor on one side and Eryon on the other, but she didn't notice, as she fell asleep in Taylor's embrace.
At dawn, Eryon woke up and stretched as she got up, her eyes still a little sleepy.
Taylor, awake as well, watched her while Eryon, with an adorable expression, tried to figure out where she was.
Reaching out, he took her chin and pulled her closer, planting a kiss on her cheek.
That kiss was the trigger that woke her fully. Turning to the culprit, she said in an accusatory voice "You kidnapped me."
Then, lowering her gaze, she asked "These two are?"
Taylor smiled "They're my girls, just like you."
Eryon didn't seem surprised. When Taylor rejected her, he always said he had other girls waiting for him.
Taylor got up to get ready before going downstairs for breakfast, but before he could pass through the door, a delicate hand grabbed his wrist.
Turning around, he asked Eryon "What is it?"
Eryon replied with a serious expression "After breakfast, I have to return to Vespera."
Taylor smiled, lifted her into his arms, and said, with icy eyes "You're not going anywhere."
Eryon felt a bad premonition at his words.
