BXBX NOVEL Chapter 519
Vincent approached Lupa and proceeded with the introductions. “This is my wife, Lupa Lionheart. She was the white wolf helping take care of the assassins.”
“Hi.” Lupa simply said.
“Ahem.” Vincent went beside Sakura and noticed how Aceon looked at Sakura as if she was about to attack him.
Vincent smirked and placed his hand around her waist. “This is my wife, Sakura Lionheart. She has a kind soul and is cute to boot.”
“Do you think so too?” Vincent teased.
“Su... sure. ” Aceon said after a brief pause.
Aceon could now understand why Karta mentioned a harem army. The man in front of him was the first man he saw to have a group of wives stronger than the average assassin.
“Sakura. This is Aceon Ponalis. He will help us in the future.” Vincent pulled Sakura from her waist onto him and continued, “He also thinks you are cute.”
.....
“...” Sakura couldn’t respond without further thought.
“Not fair! What about me?” Lupa questioned.
*Sigh* “You are cute as well.” Vincent had to say.
“I am going to leave because the womanizer will keep flirting.” Jun Ye Rim said while leaving. She stopped before the door and peeked at Vincent as if she wanted him to follow her before leaving.
Regrettably, Vincent was too busy keeping Lupa from causing a misunderstanding. He didn’t notice Jun Ye Rim peeking at him. Only Kazumi did, and she giggled at the cute bashful elf.
“It looks like you are a busy man Vincent,” Aceon said when he started to pity Vincent for having so many women loving him simultaneously.
Later, Vincent and Sakura went to the workshop. Iris and Lilith helped care for the patients, with little Leah following them like a cute maid attendant.
On the other hand, Lupa took Aceon to the busy Maid Xu. The head maid was the most suitable person as she needed to know how long the Ponalis family would stay and how many bedrooms they had to prepare.
The hours swiftly passed, and night arrived. After Vincent and Sakura had an eventful time, both left the workshop.
Vincent and Sakura stretched their bodies, and their faces slightly contorted in pain sometimes.
After the assassination attempt, the two took it to the next level. As such, the results made Vincent smile like a person who looked at the exam paper with better marks than he expected.

.
Vincent was satisfied with the usage of the fourth potion, and this age remained the same. Only six more Bloody Pump Potions remained, and the value decreased by ten percent every time.
“I had a lot of fun with you today. We should do more next time.” Sakura said with a beaming smile.
Vincent weakly nodded and later felt his neck hurt. ‘I went... overboard today.’ He believed.
Sakura gently hugged Vincent as she worried about breaking Vincent with how exhausted he was acting.
“Thank you for making me forget about what happened this morning. ” Sakura said before kissing his cheek.
“It’s nothing, my lovely Sakura. ” Vincent replied, trying to show this wasn’t enough to defeat him.
The two looked at each other passionately before heading to the mansion. On the way, they met with Maria and Tiffi.
Maria looked at them as if she wasn’t to greeting type while Tiffi suddenly held Maria’s hand.
“Huh? Why are you shanking? It is just Vincent’s wife.” Maria informed the frightened Tiffi.
Sakura noticed her presence was frightening Tiffi. She looked unhappy that everyone became scared when they saw her.
“I think I should go back...” She told Vincent in a low, saddened voice.
“Nonsense.” Vincent grabbed her arm and pulled her to meet Tiffi.
“Tiffi. This is my kindhearted and cute wife, Sakura Lionheart.” Vincent smirked, and his hand moved behind Sakura. *Smack* He slyly slapped Sakura’s bottom in front of Tiffi and Maria.
Skuara’s cheeks blushed when the two women in front of her heard her moan from the sudden, brief, sharp pain of a slap.
“Haha. Did you hear that, Tiffi? My wife isn’t scary at all, isn’t she? ” Vincent joked.
Tiffi looked at the blushing woman of the demon race in front of her. She became shocked to see such an intimidating woman act so embarrassed and human-like. Furthermore, Tiffi saw Sakura go behind Vincent and try to hide her face even if she was taller than him a moment later.
‘Sakura looks... adorable?’ Tiffi pondered because of the confusing sight before her. However, all feelings of fear were washed away at the sight of Sakura acting so embarrassed to have her bottom smacked in public.
*Gulp* “I am Tiffi Ponalis...” Tiffi paused and averted her gaze. *Gulp* She looked back at the embarrassed Sakura and continued, “Nice to meet you.”
“N-nice to meet you too.” Sakura nervously said with her heart racing.
*Sigh* “Are we going inside or what? It is dark, and we need to eat before leaving.” Maria said after getting used to eating a lively dinner with everyone and leaving with a delighted belly in an environment only possible in the Emerald Lionheart Mansion’s large dining hall.
“Sure, teacher Maria, but how did the lesson go?”
“I thought Tiffi a safe meditation form. However, it is so safe and slow that it has a low improvement rate. Yet it should allow Tiffi to feel her mana even if she doesn’t improve.” Maira explained.
“I don’t need to improve. I only need to stay alive for my father. I don’t want to leave him alone.” Tiffi announced her goal with a smile on her face.
“...” Vincent, Kazumi, Sakura, and even Maria paused for a moment to look at Tiffi. Her goal wasn’t a subject to say with a smile.
After regaining their composure, the four went to eat dinner.
Aceon, Tiffi, and the old maid that woke up a few hours ago were amazed at the sight of everyone eating at one long table at the same time without any ranks.
Everyone ate carefreely and how every they wished. The children made a mess while a certain wife ate like others were going to steal her food and a certain little cute fox challenged the said wife to who could eat first.
“Please, join us. ” Vincent said.
Aceon looked at his daughter, and a warm smile appeared on his face. His daughter looked so happy that he wanted his wife to see Tiffi smile.
Later, after the lively dinner ended and everyone took a respite in the garden or the living room, the time to leave for the academy was upon them.
After Aceon found out how Lilith didn’t know everything about the rules and power held by each noble title, Aceon agreed to write a proper hierarchy of the noble titles before heading to their temporary bedroom.
Only one person didn’t show up today. Bessy left a note yesterday about how she might take a day or two to return. She promised to pay the following week.
After placing Ester inside the carriage, Vincent said farewell, and the carriage left for the academy.
On their way, Vincent, Kazumi, and Lupa noticed the presence of multiple people following them from the shadows. However, none of them had any malicious intent surrounding them.
Kazumi went to scout and discovered how there were three men dressed in ordinary clothes with a bag attached to their waist similar to a sword, giving the impression of being the people Karta said who would keep an eye on them.
Kazumi returned and explained what she had discovered.
Thanks to Jun Ye Rim’s ability to hear Kazumi’s voice, she told Lupa, “Kazumi said they are watching over us.” She crossed her arms and continued, “It’s not like I told you to let Ester have a good rest, though.”
The carriage later arrived. They waited until the horse rested before heading back inside with Ester, carried by Vincent.
Upon their arrival to team ten island, they saw a campfire extinguished, and seats were taken back inside. The view gave the impression that a BBQ had taken place.
Nick, Clair, Vivid, and Pussy worried about seeing Ester in Vincent’s arms.
“I will explain what happened while Vincent takes Ester to bed.” Lilith offered.
The mention of assassins made Nick, Clair, Vivid, and Pussy become worried. The amount of attacking them made their hearts race.
They knew there should have been at least one casualty, yet not only did no one die from Vincent’s side, but he returned without a scratch, and Ester fainted from mana fatigue.
The four of them looked at Vincent heading inside with Ester while understanding how much of the true power he was hiding. However, instead of feeling betrayed, they felt safer having Vincent on their side.
Vincent later returned while Iris, Lupa, and Plow went to be with Ester. On the other hand, Jun Ye Rim left to stay somewhere alone.
Vincent and Lilith took some time to explain what happened and how the chances of something like this ever happening were drastically reduced.
“I will tell my parents to keep an eye too.” Both Nick and Clair said at the same time. The two looked at each other and smiled. They looked glad to have similar thoughts.
“Thank you.” Vincent and Lilith said.
The offer to have the Graymoon family and the Reddawn family looking out for them made them feel safer. One was wealthy, while the other had a lot of information.
