Chapter 215 The earthen tribe 5 (1/2)

Mars opened his eyes and looked up into an unfamiliar ceiling, as he laid there memories from yesterday slowly returned to him. Yesterday he had saved Alex's daughter Emma from bandits while nearly getting his head shot off in the process, then after he had returned Emma he had received a hefty reward from Alex, then to celebrate he had taken the girls out for dinner and then they had returned to the inn and went to bed, bringing him to his current location.

'....What time is it anyways?'

Mars raised his head a little and looked out the window and saw that the sun had risen about an hour ago and laid his head back down on the bed again and closed his eyes again.

'Nothing like sleeping in...'

Mars laid in complete bliss for about 5 minutes before he sat up in the bed and swung his legs out over the side.

'...Toilet, where was it again?'

Mars quickly put on some clothes and quietly left the room where the girls were still sleeping and steeped out in the hallway and quickly found the toilet. After he finished his business he walked back to the room when he opened the door, he saw that Mary was sitting up on her bed and gave her a quick wave as he walked back to his bed and waved Mary over. Mary looked a little confused but still came over and stood in front of Mars, then Mars embraced her before they both fell down onto the bed, Mary struggled a little but eventually quietly accepted her role as a body pillow with a smile on her face as Mars hugged her and slowly drifted back to sleep...

When Mars awoke again he found that Mary right in front of his face, he was so close he could count her individual eyebrows. She was breathing quietly as she was still asleep, Mars half wanted to play a prank on her and half just wanted to watch her sleep but as he was struggling to make a decision she quietly stirred as her eyes trembled for a moment before they opened and stared into his eyes for a short moment before she gave a wonderful smile and warped her arms around him and hugged Mars tight.

”Good morning”

”Morning Mary”

”Oh... so you are awake”

Mars turned his head and Chloe standing next to his bed watching him and Mary with slightly envious eyes, Mary also looked up at Chloe before she gave a teasing smile and hugged Mars a little closer, Chloe gave a sigh and looked at the clock that was hanging on the wall of the room and said.

”There's about 10 minutes left until breakfast is over, well I have already eaten...”

”Shit...”

Mars looked at Mary again and asked her.

”Want to go grab a bite to eat?”

”Okay...”

Mary unwrapped her arms from Mars and sat up on the bed before she walked over to her bed and began putting on some clothes, Mars followed her example and sat up in the bed before he discovered he was still wearing clothes from when he visited the toilet earlier.

”Well then let's go”

”Yes Mars”

”Want to join us Chloe?”

”...Sure”

A few days passed with Mars and the girls doing absolutely nothing but eating and sleeping, resting their tried bodies from the road. On the 4th day of relaxing Mars was summoned to the lord's manor by Alex, following after the butler that had summoned him Mars wondered what Alex wanted now. Soon he arrived at the lord's manor and stepped inside and was met by Emma that looked like she had been waiting for him, she gave a smile and spoke briefly with the butler before she walked over to Mars and gently took his hand before she proceeded to half dragging him after her.

”Come my dad is waiting.”

Mars followed after Emma with a wry smile on his face, it sure looked like him saving her from bandits had a big impact on her since she treated him like this. After walking for a few minutes Mars and Emma arrived in front of Alex's office where Emma knocked before she called out.

”Dad I have brought Mars.”

”Bring him in.”
