Aster waited some time before he took Alice from the bathroom, luckily, she was tired enough to not wake up even when he dried her off with a towel, he noticed her flower was a bit red due to the rough session they had before so he rubbed an elixir to help her recover which Lilia gave him, all over her that her vagina.
"Mmm ♥", although she was sleeping, Alice felt her brother touching her and she unconsciously closed her legs to keep his hand trapped there.
Aster sighed, "we will take it slow until you get used to it", he thought.
He carefully removed his hand, changed the bed sheets and accommodated Alice on the bed, although he put on some underwear, Alice remained naked because he didn't want to move her too much as she needed to rest.
Aster turned off the lights and laid down next to his sister before hugging her from behind and closing his eyes to sleep, their passionate time might have seen short but in reality, it lasted more than one hour so it was already quite late in the morning when they finished.
Every night since Aster started making love with the girls three years ago, he also entered the mind space to spend some time with Rya, and today wasn't an exception, on the highest point in Hyperion there were two people laying down and looking at the starry sky.
Rya was leaning her head against Aster's shoulder while they talked and laughed at the many things that happened today, this has become a habit for them, in the mind space there is no concept of day and night as the there is an eternal starry sky here.
"I'm surprised you found time to visit me, considering all the hard "work" you did with your sister today".
Aster smiled, compared to three years ago, since the moment he convinced Rya to start speaking with the other girls, she has shown more sides of her, like right now, the jealous Rya was so cute he couldn't resist the urge to kiss her.
He turned his face around and sealed her lips without any warning, of course Rya didn't resist at all, she has learned that Aster loves when she acts a bit spoiled maybe because of the big contrast that it makes with her appearance.
Aster stopped the kiss and gently caressed her face.
"How could I not visit my little empress… I won't let you feel alone ever again", he said.
Rya was all smiles, she enjoyed these little interactions they started having a while ago, it was going to be some time before she could materialize her body in the real world, but Aster put on a lot of effort to keep her company, no matter how much he trained or made love to Lilia and the other girls, he always entered the mind space just to spent time with her.
Although Rya hasn't told him all the truth about them, since she wanted to wait until he was at least in the mortal transcending realm, she once slipped and said that she has been with him even when he was a mere mortal back on earth which made Aster feel bad because she was practically imprisoned inside of him… alone and there wasn't any spirit energy there which just made it worse.
Imagine not eating during a huge amount of time, your stomach will start eating itself and that is for sure not a pleasant sensation, in Rya's case, she lost her physical form and only her spirit form remained, unfortunately there was no spirit energy to absorb so she consumed her reserves until there was practically nothing left.
That's why it took her time some time before she woke up, and that was also the reason as to why it was taking her so much time to recover enough to get her body back.
When Aster thought of Rya suffering alone in a dark place for who knows how much time, he felt his heart breaking… and he was also furious about it, but she didn't tell him anything else no matter how much he insisted, so instead of worrying about the past he decided to not let that happen ever again.
Rya closed her eyes and enjoyed the gentle caresses of her lover, "to think that a day would come where I would be acting like a little girl in love… but I like it hehehe ♥".
The mind space changed with every advance Aster achieved, he could now sleep here without the need to leave and since the flow of time was different, a day in the outside world was approximately 60 hours in the mind space so he could take advantage of that difference to meditate and rest.
Here in the mind space under a limitless starry sky, both Rya and Aster fell asleep while they enjoyed each other's company, their peaceful sleeping expression complemented the beautiful portrait of two lovers under the light of the stars.
Outside of the mind space the rest of the night went on without any problems, Alice slept like a log and Aster was in the mind space until she woke up and started moving.
Aster gave Rya one last kiss before he left the mind space, the first thing he saw was his sister's beautiful morning appearance.
Alice was still naked and her body was completely leaned against him, which allowed Aster to feel the soft contact of her skin pressing against him, maybe because she just lost her virginity the past night but Alice looked radiant, there was a certain charm that she didn't possess before.
"Maybe it's because she became a woman… more accurately my woman".
Alice saw her brother smiling and she cuddled with him.
"Good morning, mm perhaps I should start calling you darling like mom hehehe ♥".
They both laughed before sharing a kiss, Aster saw the clock and it was almost 10:00 AM which for the standards of this world it was a bit late, but they indeed felt refreshed and well rested after the lovely session of the past night.
Aster caressed Alice's belly a couple of times before saying.
"Good morning, how do you feel… we went at it quite rough after all".
Alice kissed him again before answering.
"I'm fine, maybe because a certain worrywart of a brother applied an elixir down there, but it doesn't hurt at all, in fact I'm all ready for a morning session if you want ♥".
Aster kissed her neck a couple of times and buried his face in her breasts, just like with Lilia, Alice gave him the same comforting feeling maybe because she was also related by blood to him.
"No, we will wait at least a day for your body to recover… besides we have a lot of things to do".
Alice pouted but she agreed, this place wasn't a secret realm but a planet in who knows where star cluster or stellar system so there was something weird going on here, like why would such a low-level planet like Zartia would have a high ranked portal and the mystery behind the corruption.
They already bathed before sleeping so they only washed their teeth before dressing up again, Aster dispelled the barrier while Alice made sure there wasn't any traces left of what happened in the bedroom before, the sheets which were stained by her blood were ones that Alice had in her spatial ring so the original ones were completely clean.
Alice held onto her brother's right arm and they left the room, the maids were respectfully waiting outside to clean the room and guide them to the dining room where Sarina and Kana were waiting for them.
They went along with the maids until they reached the dining room, as expected of a royal castle the place was huge, in one of the two large tables that were displayed Sarina was sitting with her daughter next to her. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝘯𝘦𝘵
Aster and Alice sat in front of them while the maids placed a lot of different dishes for the breakfast.
Kana was as energetic as always.
"Good morning big brother Aster, big sister Alice!!!".
Sarina also seemed better than yesterday; a good night of sleep is always a good way to recover after all.
"Good morning you two, I was worried that you will wake up later but it seems that wasn't the case, my father will also join us in a couple of minutes but we can start eating breakfast now, there is a lot of things that need to be discussed", she said.
The maids left and everyone started taking the dishes they wanted, as always seeing Kana eating in little portions was a pleasure to the eyes, Alice on the other hand was quite a glutton.
While Sarina was calmly drinking the juice of some kind of spirit fruit, her mind was moving at all speed, she didn't show it on her face but she felt something weird about Alice today.
"Was she always ? Maybe it's because my spirit sense is still recovering but she seems to have a different aura around her… she looks a bit more mature".
A woman's intuition is quite scary, without knowing anything about them, Sarina more or less noticed the change in Alice's presence, luckily, she didn't think too much about it, because Aster's voice made her come out of her daze.
"How is the old man, did that alchemist treated him already? I have some more of the elixir I gave you, in fact take this one to help you fully recover", he said while handing her a bottle of his blood.
Sarina felt her heart warming up a bit, she has already used two bottles of the Aster's "elixir", such a high ranked antidote was for sure something valuable and yet he has honestly offered it to her without asking for anything in return.
She returned to the reality feeling the weird gaze, Alice was directing at her.
"Ahem, thanks for asking, my father is fine, that old alchemist is his friend so she treated him the very moment he went to see her… also thanks for the medicine, I still can't believe I recovered my cultivation so fast".
"Don't say that, aren't we "true friends" already? Between friends there is no need to say thanks".
"Yes, big brother is Kana's friend ♥".
Sarina mentally sighed; she patted her daughter's head a couple of times while she thought.
"I guess the only good thing Robert did in his life was allowing Kana to go to the forest yesterday… now my heart can't stop beating faster when I see him".
