BXBX NOVEL Chapter 156: I'm Sorry.
While this happened Arla stood patiently, blushing with her hands clasped between her thighs and a smile plastered on her face.
"Bare, and unrestrained?" Dina asked, raising her hand and holding on to Sol\'s.
"Yes." He answered, and upon doing so she took a deep breath and relaxed her muscles, surrendering herself to him and allowing him to fully undress her in front of the others, and upon doing so, Sol cupped her breasts with his bare hand and pressed his lips on the back of her neck channeling mana into her body via his kiss and activating all of the runes across her body and causing her to shake and incline forward with a very light and restrained moan.
"Arla." He called and without missing a step the elf approached him while Ikaris retrieved Dina and led her into the large bath, pouring water on her steaming head.
"A day I never imagined, one I wished for, and one I admittedly dreamt of every single night." Arla raised her hands and cupped Sol\'s cheeks.
"My Lord, do I have your permission to claim your lips?" She asked, and Sol took a calming breath and leaned forward, locking his hand around the back of her neck roughly and raising her to her toes as she closed her eyes and pressed her lips against his in a slow kiss which had even Ikaris staring as she saw Arla\'s dress unravel like a shrowd when Sol\'s other hand rested on her hip revealing her crimson sigils rippling with mana.
"And finally," Sol stood still without so much as a prompt watching her slowly sink to his feet and hold on to the borders of his pants and pull them down, releasing a strong breath of mana as she raised her eyes and came face to face with his manhood.
"Whaaa~" Dina hid her face in Ikaris\'s breasts squealing giddily when Arla placed her soft hands on his half erect shaft and stared up at him.
"I..." Arla attempted to take him in her mouth right there, but Sol\'s index finger against her forehead stopped her as he gave her the obvious lecherous stare and smiled, amused.
"Let\'s wait a little." Sol helped her to stand and then spun her around, holding her neck like a handle and leading her into the water with the other two where Ikaris flicked her middle finger across her forehead.
"Impatient one." Ikaris commented, resulting in the elf blushing as she had failed to control her desires.
"This truly is an honour." Sol sat on the side allowing Ikaris behind him as she carefully began washing his hair with the water mixed with her mana, and then Arla at his side sunk lower, raised his leg in her lap and started doing the same with a humming that quickly turned into her songs.
"Then... me too." Dina hesitated at first but made her way to his free side and summoned a bathing sponge from the side with a wave of her hand, pressed it against his chest and began scrubbing him carefully.
"You are enjoying this, Love?" Ikaris asked, resting her breasts against the back of his head, and Sol without even thinking about what she was asking chuckled and looked up at her. "Yes?"
"How could I not enjoy this?" Sol asked, raising his hands and holding her arms steady as she lowered herself I to his kiss. "I am surrounded by and being pampered by three beautiful goddesses, I\'m trying my best to keep myself composed."
"You are failing spectacularly, then." Dina commented, keeping her focus on his torso and arms and steaming from her blush while Arla came closer to his thighs, and looking down, Sol\'s expression softened and he let out a chuckle when he found the elf eyeing his manhood again which was now fully erect and throbbing.
"This is too stimulating, I don\'t know just how much I can tolerate before I shut my brain off and give in." Sol admitted.
"It is a disservice to let you wait, and inadequacy as your first wife to withhold pleasure from you." Ikaris whispered in his ear, sliding around him and sinking into the large bath with Arla, pulling Dina down as well and snapping her fingers causing the soaps and suds to increase as she tackled them both and began washing them like a mother.
"What are you doing?" Sol stared amused. "They can clean themselves-"
"But I am horny." Ikaris grabbed Arla from behind and started massaging her breasts vigorously causing Dina to snap in shock and guard herself when the elf started moaning aloud from the aggressive stimulus.
"Lady ikaris-"
"Hold still." Ikaris took Arla\'s head and shoved her beneath the water, grabbing the floating bath sponge and dragging it down the centre of her back causing her to comically flail with her ass stuck out of the water.
"This is absurd!" Dina attempted to flee, but Ikaris grabbed her leg and tackled her as well, drowning her while she washed her with the fury of a mad woman. "Urglrlr, S-sol, master, help! -elp! elp! Bulublublu!" She sank again while Sol burst into hysterical laughter before Arla tackled Ikaris as well turning it into a three-way bathing as they challenged each other.

They spent a full hour afterwards simply having fun, something they hadn\'t done in recent times, for sol especially, the last time he laughed like that was when he was a child, his joy brought them joy, and even Ikaris who never experienced being an infant or the pleasures of growing up was able to release her inner child and spend true quality time with them easing all the tension between them.
At the end of it their bath they all exited in towels drunk in their joy with light laughter, being respectful of the fact that Eris was down the hall with her child.
"Ah, Sara?" Ikaris stopped before the maid, it was odd seeing her like this, usually she was sharp but seeing her asleep on the floor with a pile of clothes in her lap sort of sobered her and the others up a little.
"You\'ve had it rough, haven\'t you, Sara?" Sol reached down and scooped her up. Holding her close and smiling as she opened her eyes and smiled sleepily, resting her head in the crook of his neck and hugging him with a sigh.
"I thought you had died, thank you for returning Sir." Sara snuggled like a child and fell right back to sleep while Arla took the clothes with a smile.
"She has Dina levels of innocence doesn\'t she?" Ikaris snickered quietly.
"Wh- me?" Dina snapped while they all started walking again.
"Sara, where do you sleep?" Sol asked her.
"I do not... have not." She replied in her still slumber, and Sol paused in his stride, his expression visibly changing and his mood rapidly deteriorating as he thought about what she had just said, even without fighting, he understood what it felt like to not sleep and eldlessly stare out in anticipation of change.
"What does that mean, what do you mean?" His brows furrowed.
"In the shadows, I do not age, I need no sleep, so I waited for sir\'s return in the darkness."
"Of the five years we\'ve been gone, Sara, how much of that time have you been in your shadows.
"I only come out during supper and cleansing myself, if I stay I can wait much longer, hundreds of years if need be, as long as you returned, it was of no importance." She hugged him tighter and began crying while she answered in her sleep.
"Fuck..." Sol\'s mood hit the floor, and with it all the sigils on Ikaris, Arla and Dina went cold. "I\'m sorry."
"This is not your fault, love." Ikaris held his arm, but released him with a gasp when she felt how deeply affected he had been by Sara\'s words.
"It is though, she was dependent on my winning that fight..."
"But you did win."
"Sitri lived, we got dragged away for five whole years, by then I had regarded her as my younger sister, and she had specifically told me that she sees a guardian in me, but I left her behind." He started walking again.
"She smiled, and pretended like she was okay, hiding behind this damn mask, but she crashed as soon as she felt the slightest bit of ease, it\'s too sad, I never imagined that I\'d fail her like this."
"Sara, I\'m sorry."
