Teasing Matriarch I

[Richter's POV]

It has been a perfect day, enjoyable to no end… the servants, Grayfia and Fia have spoiled me to not end. Albedo and her girls will be leaving tomorrow, they came with the sole purpose of introducing themselves to me and also to visit their 'mummy' I'm not yet clear what their business is, but they seem to be some sort of undercover elite group based in the underworld with the leader being Lucy, or Morrighan as I call her now.

Right this instant; I'm laying lazily against the rocky wall of a private spring belonging to the Lucifuge Castle. This is paradise... I can hear utter outrage from the other end of the spring, the boys were shamelessly cursing their big brother, the reason?

I was allowed on the girl's side. No, it was safer to say that I was 'pulled' into the female side of the spring by Lucy and the other servants.

All around me, there were more than forty beautiful ladies of all sizes and colours. Angels, fallen angels and devils. Some of them were completely nude without any regard to my gaze -mostly devils; some of them were covered with a towel and still spurting a blush as they looked at me, they didn't seem uncomfortable, merely shy.

Their gazes drifted towards me in disappointment when they saw me with my eyes closed; covered with a pair of lemon slices, I don't know why Grayfia told me to do this, but I did.

I'm enjoying myself right now with five beautiful ladies leaning against me, two on each side.

Albedo, Grayfia, Annette, Morrighan and Benneth.

Seeing me about to fall asleep, Grayfia caressed my chest and removed one of the lemons.

"Are you ready to go to sleep master? It is still quite early, if you want we can play some more games?" So far they had pulled me to swim, play hide and seek and have a shrimp-eating competition... how foolish they were to challenge me in that regard. Clearly, they don't know their place.

I, however, dismissed her and placed the lemon back on my eye.

"I'm good like this, Grayfia, if you want you can go and have some fun" I waved my hand, not yet ready to let go of this pleasure. The girls were all chatting, giggling and splashing warm water around, some of the even decided to wrestle while naked, what a troublesome bunch, but they were enjoying their free day, and I'm just enjoying along.

"Very well~ if you need something just tell me, I'm here to serve~" My maid stood up, I removed one of my lemons to look at her in high definition, she ran along the sprint splashing water as her butt giggled for me, that vixen knows I'm looking, she even threw me a kiss and stood on her place, bouncing her butt for me a few times before finally leaving.

'Dissolute... just wait for tonight' I growled inwardly.

"Just go big sister I can take care of our master's needs~" the shameless Nephilim said, earning Grayfia's killing intent from far away as she turned around, the place grew a little still when the water around her began to freeze.

"Don't misunderstand things, Albedo… my master may have plenty of lovers in the future, but he only has one maid" my beloved maid isn't joking, even if she acts like that, I don't consider Layla my official maid, that's a spot for Grayfia.

"I understand…" Albedo frowned, the two locked gazes for a moment before Grayfia returned to her objective of playing with the servant girls that were doing something with a bottle of alcohol.

'Don't antagonise her, Albedo...' I heard the message Morrighan sent her mentally, a natural scolding, this girl is quite the joker.

With Grayfia gone, the Nephilims switched positions; Albedo and Morrighan were caressing my chest with light smiles while Benneth and Annette took over the front, seemingly about to fall asleep on my legs, the four of them seemed to have made an agreement to ignore my crotch underwater, and every time Albedo wanted to act wicked, Morrighan slapped her hand away.

These Nephilims just surrounded me… and they're so obvious nevermind... I'm enjoying this too.

After a long time, Morrighan seemed to be unable to resist herself anymore and looked at me with a pout.

"What's wrong?" I said, not removing the lemon from my eyes.

"Aren't you going to say anything to us"

"About what?"

"About wanting to make us yours…?" Morrighan frowned and her words made the others Nephilims look at me with confusion, is it that wrong that I haven't yet done it?

"Why exactly would I say that?"

"Wouldn't you want us as your subordinates?" Annette said next, seemingly feeling insulted at my lack of interest.

"Hmn…? I don't need subordinates... I only need a maid and someone already has that spot" I said lazily, even a maid... that was something that I needed all along but never knew they were so good until I got Grayfia.

"…"

"Moreover, you want to become my subordinates just so you can feel your own agenda… let me guess… you want protection for the Lucifuge clan, or protection for the Nephilims, or better yet, protection for the underworld, or protection to all of them?~"

"…" they all frowned profusely.

"I apologise, maybe… we were too brash" Morrighan stated, I could feel her sadness from here, maybe my words were a little rough, 'Lucy' and I have a healthy relationship, I can consider her a 'friend' of sorts, even if she does have an agenda, I doubt those are her motivations... she genuinely wants to be close to me, but pushing her other three 'sisters' to me as well, that's her agenda.

"I don't apologise~" Albedo gained everyone's attention, even mine.

"I wholeheartedly want to be yours, Richter-sama… regardless of whether you help us or not~" Her gaze looked at me with determination unlike Annette and Benneth, those two don't agree to this, but they are following Morrighan's input regardless.

As for Albedo, I removed one of my lemons to look at her, prompting he beauty to hug my arm again.

"We will see".

...

"Be merciful with my daughters, son-in-law~" I heard a voice beside me and my senses showered her with attention.

"Fia…"

She was wearing nothing as she entered the spring, except for a white towel to cover her front, there was nothing else.

"Do you want to enter the sauna, just the two of us?~"

"Is that an invitation?"

"It is~" without saying further Fia walked towards a small wooden shack inside the spring.

I smirked; removing the lemons from my eyes and following after her; the Nephilims all looked at one another in exasperation.

Fia's giggling was a sight to delight for from behind, so charming... I followed her into what appeared to be a room made out of wood logs, elegant and relaxing. There was an interesting crimson fire burning inside, heating some water and producing vapour in the air, a heated atmosphere that was soothing.

Fia's white towel failed to cover the front of her body completely, I wonder if she did this deliberately; when she giggled upon feeling my gaze, I got my answer.

She closed the door behind me and locked it; circling around me she grasped my chin for but a moment before taking a seat on a wood log along the wall in front of the bonfire. The mature beauty tapped the side of the wood log, beaconing me to sit beside her.
