Chapter 153: Chapter : 153 : Edda Blackthorn!

Aiden sat in front of the Queen, in her chamber, facing her.

“Sir Aiden,” Alethea spoke, breaking the silence, “So… What you wanted to talk to me about?”

“I-Ah…” Aiden said, thinking of the right word. “I just wanted to buy a house and settle down.”

She raised eyebrows, “Sir, I am sorry if we weren’t able-”

“No. It’s not because of that.” Aiden spoke up before she could finish, “I just wanted a place to call home. A place only for ours. To live happily and my Wives and my unborn children.”

The corner of her lips twitched into a smile, intrigued. “Sir, that is such a beautiful thought. If you need any kind of help, whether it is money, property, or almost anything. Feel free to ask.”

“Thank you,” Aiden said.

Alethea leaned forward, resting her chin on her hands. The motion pushed her cleavage forward for Aiden’s eyes to admire.

“So, tell me. Sir Aiden. Anything you need help with?”

Aiden replied, his tone serious, “I need someone to find me a good place. And I don’t care how much it takes.”

Alethea smiled, nodding in agreement. “Alright then.”

Then she clapped. The door of the room opened, and a maid bowed politely.

“Call Edda Blackthron.”

“Yes, My Lady.” She bowed again and left.

Aiden turned toward Alethea again and asked, “Who’s Edda Blackthron?”

Alethea smiled at him, “She is the person you asked for. Don’t worry.”

“You mean… She is gonna find me a house?” Aiden asked, raising an eyebrow.

Alethea nodded. “Certainly.”

“Cool. Cool.” Aiden said.

They heard a soft knock on the chamber’s door.

“Come in,” Alethea said, her voice commanding.

The door clicked open.

Aiden’s breath caught the moment she stepped into the light.

The woman before him looked as though the forest itself had shaped her with impossible care—a mature, breathtaking beauty whose presence wrapped around him like quiet warmth.

Her long hair flowed in a sweeping cascade, autumn red melting into spring green, shifting gently as though stirred by a breeze only she could feel.

The soft drape of her silk gown clung to a figure that seemed sculpted for tenderness and strength both—a voluptuous, motherly body with generous curves, wide child-bearing hips, and a full, heavy chest that gave her silhouette an undeniable, commanding allure.

The draped silk crossed over her chest in a loose, almost careless cradle, leaving a deep, breathtaking expanse of cleavage exposed. It wasn’t subtle. It wasn’t shy. A generous, soft valley of skin was openly shown to the world, rising and falling gently with each serene breath she took. The fabric seemed to cling only because it wanted to, not because it could hope to contain her.

Her face was stunning—smooth, expressive, almost sinful in how naturally seductive her features were.

A soft smile touched her lips, warm, inviting, the kind of smile that made Aiden’s heartbeat jump before he could stop it.

There was something playful at the edges of her expression, a hint of knowing mischief beneath her serene maturity, as though she saw more than she chose to say.

But it was her eyes that held him still.

Deep, mossy violet—crystal bright, layered with subtle gradients that shimmered when she blinked.

They carried a calm, maternal gentleness, yet glimmered with a quiet, teasing spark that unsettled him far more than danger ever could.

Her presence radiated heat and comfort all at once… a woman whose every breath felt warm, nurturing, irresistibly feminine.

Mature, beautiful, impossibly graceful. A motherly aura wrapped in a body built to mesmerize.

“Your Majesty, how can I be of help to you?” She asked, with that soft smile of hers.

“Meet Sir Aiden Nightshade,” Alethea said, pointing toward Aiden, “The Child of Prophecy.”

“And sir… This is Edda Blackthorn.” Alethea told Aiden, introducing her.

“It is always a pleasure to meet such a beautiful woman,” Aiden said coolly.

Her cheeks warmed at his word, as she bowed politely toward him, “Thank you very much for your kind words, Sir!”

*Oh god. He is so hot and handsome.* Edda thought, her head a mess of forbidden thoughts.

“Edda,” Alethea called.

“Yes, Ma’am!” Edda replied, raising her head.

“Your work is to escort this young man and find him the best house possible. Understood.” Alethea explained, leaving no room for doubt.

“Yes, Ma’am.” She bowed politely, again.

“So, Sir. If you go with her, I will be able to continue with my work in peace.” Alethea asked, her tone shifting from regal to annoyance. “Too much paperwork.” She sighed.

Both Aiden and Edda looked toward each other and smiled nervously.

Aiden slowly got up from her, “Are you sure? I might elope with this beauty.”

Edda blushed furiously, “Wha… Wha?”

Alethea finally laughed, “Well… I won’t mind if you do. Though let me remind you of your lovely wives.”

“Ma’am… Can I have a say in this?” Edda asked, fidgeting with her fingers, blishly furiously.

“No!” Both Aiden and Alethea said in unison.

“Okay!” Edda replied, looking away, pouting adorably.

Both Aiden and Alethea smiled toward each other.

—

Both Aiden and Edda stood in the corridor, away from the chamber, where they were alone.

Aiden took a deep breath and leaned toward her cleavage, looking with wide eyes, examining the two of them.

“These two are certainly healthy,” Aiden said, without looking away from them.

“Eh?” She said, her face burning. She tilted her head, and her boobs bounced in front of his face.

*He is so purvy.* Edda thought.

“I was just complimenting your beauty. That’s all.” Aiden said casually, without looking away.

“S-sir. Your words honour me.” She said shyly, “But can we please get to work?”

Aiden finally looked toward her face. His heart skipped a beat. Her cheeks were adorably red. Eyes trembling. She was breathing heavily.

She tried her best to look polite and make eye contact with him.

“S-sir… Please. What if someone sees us?” Edda’s voice trembled, betraying her words.

Then suddenly-

“Onii-Chan!”

“Daddy!”

“Mii~”

Ivy and Leona patted Aiden’s back.

Edda fliched horribly, taking a step back.

*Goblin. Dragonkin. So the rumours about him are true.* Edda thought. She looked toward Fluffynugget, *And what’s that cute-looking looking strange creature?*

Aiden turned and kneeled toward them, “Kiddos, what brought you here?”

“Daddy, hold me.” Leona giggled, extending her hands toward him.

“Leona was missing you,” Ivy said, loosening her hold around Leona.

“You want Daddy to hold you?” Aiden said like a loving idiot, gently scooping Leona up from Ivy’s arms..

“Yes.” Leona giggled, kissing his cheeks as he stood up, carrying her.

Ivy and Leona looked toward her wide eyes, then looked toward Aiden.

“N-no… We weren’t…” She fumbled with her words.

“Onii-Chan… Who is this beautiful lady?” Ivy asked.

“A new Mummy!” Leona cried, pointing toward her.

“Huh?” Edda took a step back, blushing furiously. “I don’t remember agreeing to this.”

“She is so beautiful,” Ivy told Aiden.

“I know she is,” Aiden replied to Ivy.

“Daddy… I want this Mummy too.” Leona said to Aiden.

“Your wish is command, baby.” Aiden chuckled, rubbing his cheek against her.

“Oi!” Edda cried toward them. “Stop with your conspiracies.”

Edda sighed, “Ma’am, why did you send me?”

Edda then smiled softly toward them, “Sir… Can we go now?”

“After you,” Aiden replied.

Edda smiled and turned to walk.

“Onii-Chan, where are we going?” Ivy whispered to Aiden.

“To buy the gift I promised you all,” Aiden said with a smile.

“Daddy. What is the gift?” Leona asked, cupping his face.

“It’s a secret,” Aiden smirked.

“Please…” Leona asked, showing her puppy eyes to him.

“No… Not those puppy eyes I can’t resist.” Aiden asked.

“Daddy…” Leona purred, blinking toward him.

“It’s a house. A big house for you, Aunt Ivy, and all your mummies.” Aiden said immediately.

“Really!” Leona laughed, hugging him tightly, kissing his cheeks.

“Thank you!” Ivy added, smiling.

Edda finally burst out laughing, “Oh God. You three are so funny.”

“We try.” Three of them said in Unison.

Edda wiped the tears from her eyes, “You certainly have a loving family, Young Heart.”

Aiden hugged Leona tighter and squeezed Ivy’s hand, “I love them more than my love.”

“I can see that.” She said softly, her eyes now gentle.

She felt a soft tremor in her heart. Maybe because she feels envious of them. Or maybe because she wanted to be a part of his loving family. But… Even she didn’t know why she was feeling like this.

—

They now stood outside the palace, in the bazaar.

“Follow me,” Edda said.

“Yes, Ma’am.” Three of them said in unison.

Edda chuckled under her breath.

She turned to look at them. They were missing.

“Huh?” She looled around, and certainly saw them.

They were standing in front of a jewelry stall, selling seashell necklaces, ribbon with pearls, earrings, hair sticks, earrings, and so on.

“Luna will love this,” Aiden said, holding a butterfly-shaped hairpin.

“And Mummy will love this,” Leona said, grabbing a hair ribbon.

“Can I have this?” Ivy asked, holding out a hairpin.

“Buy all you want, Ivy,” Aiden said softly, petting her head.

“T-thank you.” Ivy smiled toward him.

“Young Heart…” Edda called, now beside him.

“Ohh Edda. You want something?” Aiden asked, smiling toward her.
