A night that had been spectacular in every sense of the word passed just like that.
By the time dawn broke the next day, Shien finally opened his eyes under a suffocating sensation.
The moment he opened them, two lovely faces, one large and one small, entered his sight, dazzling his eyes and stirring admiration in his heart.
"Mm..."
Lilith lay in Shien's arms, using one of his arms as a pillow and sucking on a finger as she murmured in her sleep, slumbering in utter peace.
Clearly, falling asleep with Shien last night had been something that made Lilith happy even in her dreams.
As for the other girl leaning against Shien, her head resting on his other arm, her sleeping posture was far less well-behaved.
"Explain yourself to me."
The Kingdom's Treasure muttered such dream talk while apparently still unable to let certain matters go. Her slender, fair hands were wrapped around Shien's neck, tightening again and again as though she bore a grudge.
The suffocating feeling Shien had experienced was all the Princess's doing.

"Are you trying to strangle me to death even in your dreams?"
Shien rolled his eyes.
That Princess seemed to have been pestering him all night, demanding answers over the remarks he had deliberately used to trap Aiyi yesterday.
"I... I haven't even gotten pregnant yet..."
Before falling completely asleep, Shien seemed to have heard such a tearful, aggrieved remark.
If anyone else heard that, they would probably complain.
"If you were pregnant, wouldn't that be a real disaster?"

That would absolutely shake all of Omnipotens.
In the end, this slacking Princess seemed to have worn herself
