Julian leaned back in his chair, glancing at Julia and Isabel with a teasing smile. "So, how are you two feeling?" he asked, his tone light but curious.
Julia blushed, avoiding his gaze. "A bit sore, to be honest," she admitted quietly, her cheeks turning pink.
Isabel nodded in agreement, though she tried to hide her embarrassment. "Same here... but fine, overall," she added, her voice soft.
Julian grinned. "Good to know youâre both holding up."
Julianâs grin widened as he turned his gaze to Isabel. "You know, Isabel," he teased, "you really have a talent for such things."
Isabelâs face flushed a deep red, and she stammered, "Wh-What do you mean by that?"
She glanced at Julia, who was also suppressing a smile, clearly amused by Julianâs playful teasing.
Julian just chuckled. "You know exactly what I mean," he replied with a wink, enjoying her reaction.
Juliaâs voice carried a teasing tone as she crossed her arms and gave Julian a playful smirk. "What are you doing, Julian? Are you already looking for your next target now that youâve had your way with us?"
Julian raised an eyebrow, pretending to look offended. "Oh, come on, Julia. You know Iâm not that kind of guy." He shot her a mischievous grin. "But if I were, would you be jealous?"
Julia scoffed, trying to play it cool. "No, why would I be jealous?" she replied, though a faint blush crept up her cheeks.
Julianâs expression softened as he looked at both Julia and Isabel. "Because," he said with a grin, "you and Isabel are my women. Youâre mine, and I take that seriously."
Juliaâs blush deepened as she glanced at Isabel, who was equally flustered but remained silent. Isabel finally looked up at Julian with a shy smile, though her eyes still held some curiosity.
"Your women, huh?" Julia muttered, trying to sound indifferent but failing to hide the small smile tugging at her lips. "You really think itâs that easy?"
Julian chuckled, stepping closer to both of them. "Itâs not about ease, Julia. Itâs about how I feel. Iâm not letting you two go, not after everything weâve shared."
Isabel bit her lip, looking between Julian and Julia. "Are you⊠sure about that?" she asked softly.
"More sure than anything," Julian replied, his voice firm.
Julia crossed her arms, a playful smirk on her face. "If you think of us as your women, then you better act like one and not neglect us."
Julian raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Neglect you? How can I neglect you, my dear?"
"You know what I mean," Julia replied, her tone teasing yet serious. "You have a lot on your plate, and we donât want to just be an afterthought."
Isabel nodded in agreement, her eyes bright with enthusiasm. "Yeah! We want to be part of your journey, not just... side characters."
Julian smiled, feeling warmth spread through him. "You two will be my first wives."
Juliaâs eyes widened in surprise, a mix of excitement and disbelief flickering across her face. "Wives? Both of us?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Isabelâs cheeks flushed a deep crimson, and she looked between Julian and Julia, her heart racing. "Are you serious?" she inquired, her tone a blend of curiosity and hope.
Julian nodded confidently, a playful grin on his lips. "Absolutely. I want both of you by my side, sharing this journey together. It only feels right."
Julia chuckled softly, a glimmer of joy in her eyes. "Well, if weâre going to be wives, then I suppose that means you have to treat us well!"
Isabel added, her excitement palpable, "And we definitely expect a wedding!"
Julian laughed, "Donât worry, Iâll make sure itâs a wedding you wonât forget."
Isabel leaned in closer, her curiosity evident. "So, really, how did you do it? Itâs not every day someone jumps realms like that. You must have some secret," she pressed, her eyes sparkling with intrigue.
Julian sighed, feeling the weight of their expectations. "Alright, alright. Itâs a mix of intense training, some lucky breaks, and maybe a bit of help from... unusual sources."
Julia raised an eyebrow, not convinced. "Come on, Julian. You know as well as I do that you didnât just stumble into that kind of power. Youâve got to tell us more."
He chuckled softly, realizing he wouldnât get away with vague answers. "I stumbled across a artifact that reward me with points for every task I complete."
Isabelâs eyes widened in surprise, while Julia leaned in, intrigued by this new revelation. "An artifact that gives you points? That sounds incredible! How does it work?" Isabel asked, her curiosity piqued.
Julian smiled, enjoying the attention. "Itâs a special item that tracks my achievements and rewards me based on what I accomplish. The more challenging the task, the more points I earn. Itâs like a game, but the stakes are much higher," he explained, his excitement evident in his tone.
"These points can be used to buy powerful weapons, skills, or even potions to help me in battles. Itâs been a huge advantage in my journey."
Julia nodded, still processing the information. "So, thatâs part of how youâve managed to grow so quickly. Youâve been completing tasks and racking up points while we were... well, living our lives," she teased, her playful demeanor returning.
Julian chuckled, shrugging his shoulders. "What can I say? I have to keep busy."
Isabel raised an eyebrow, her curiosity deepening. "What kind of tasks are we talking about? You mentioned completing them to earn points," she inquired, genuinely interested.
Julian smirked, knowing he had their attention. "Well, letâs just say that some of my tasks have involved... shall we say, more mature women," he replied, a playful glint in his eyes. "You know, the kind that have a bit more experience, like milfs."
Juliaâs mouth dropped slightly in surprise, and Isabelâs cheeks flushed a deeper shade of crimson. "Wait, are you serious?" Julia exclaimed, leaning closer as if to hear better. "Youâre telling me youâve been completing tasks by... being with older women?"
"Exactly," Julian replied, reveling in their reactions. "Itâs all part of the game, and hey, itâs not like Iâm complaining. They often have some interesting skills and knowledge to share. Plus, it adds to the fun of the challenge!"
Isabelâs eyes widened as she processed Julianâs words, her cheeks flushing a deep shade of crimson, while Julia chuckled softly, teasingly nudging Isabel and saying,
"Looks like our charming husband has a unique way of earning his points," which made Isabel stammer, trying to regain her composure, questioning how Julian could be so bold.
