Reincarnated in the Astral World
Chapter 70: First Family Journey

After a usual morning lovemaking session and a relaxing bath, Arthur goes to the kitchen to have breakfast with his family. They gather around the table while eating the delicious things prepared by Margaret and also Aria, who has learned many cooking tricks from her daughter-in-law.

The casual and pleasant atmosphere is perfect for conversations, especially about the day's activities, all of which Arthur and Margaret do in between having sex, of course. They are already accustomed to a routine of training and study, but when Margaret mentions it today, Aria makes a thoughtful expression.

"Actually, Mommy has to do something before today's lessons," she explains. "I'm running out of some basic resources because the latest merchants who passed through the village didn't have most of the things I require. So I'm going to fly to the nearest town and buy it; can you take care of the house, darling~?"

That would be the first time that Arthur and Eve stayed home alone without Draven or Aria around, so he smiles confidently. "Yeah, we'll be fine."

Margaret feels completely protected with Arthur around, but she also seems thoughtful and questions Aria. "The closest town is Lakeview, right?"

"Mm~" Aria nods. "Do you need anything from there?"

"Eh…" Margaret glances at Arthur and blushes a bit. "I wanted some quality fabrics, with good resistance and elasticity... something that wouldn't be torn by teeth so easily…"

"Torn by teeth?" Aria is confused at first but quickly understands what Margaret means, which makes her blush, too.

Arthur, on the other hand, smiles proudly while using mental communication to talk to Margaret. 'This happens because your pussy is so tasty that I can't control myself.'

'Don't tell me such things now!' She begs cutely, 'You will turn me on so much~'

Aria knows when Arthur and Margaret are communicating mentally based on his affectionate expressions, which makes her wonder about it. 'They share such a unique bond, bodies, hearts, and minds in sync; this must make everything much smoother for sure...'

She shakes her head to rid herself of envy. "Just make a list, dear," She smiles to Margaret. "I will bring everything you want."

"Hmm…" Margaret seems more thoughtful, with a special glow in her eyes. "I don't know what I want; in fact, I've only had contact with the simplest materials the traveling merchants sell so far, so if possible, I would like to take a look at the shops in Lakeview for myself."

"Oh~" Aria smiles. "You've never been to Lakeview, right? You must be curious to see something beyond this small village's borders."

Margaret nods and quickly glances at Arthur with an expectant expression. 'I need to see how elegant women dress so that I can make nice clothes and always look beautiful for my husband… and it wouldn't hurt to see what other lingeries made by professionals look like too; I bet I could please him even more with new ideas!'

Arthur also thinks of something. "Why don't we all go then? I've never left the village either; it could be our first trip together."

"Mommy likes the idea of us traveling the world someday," Aria comments excitedly, but her expression still seems hesitant. "Yet, Lakeview is no big deal, just a small town full of disgusting nobles from Lumindell. Also, flying with all of you would make it easier for us to be noticed…"

As she speaks, she sees Margaret's smile fade, and she rethinks about that. "Well, we can use horses. It would be a journey of a few days and only stones and trees along the road, but it can still be a small pleasant adventure in the end, right?"

"Yep, it sounds great~! Margaret claps her hands, enthusiastic. Arthur also gets excited because he is curious to see the world beyond the village, and of course, traveling with his beloved girls can't be bad.

Aria also gets keen for it. "I have something perfect for camping along the trip, something from my adventurer's time…" She goes to her laboratory.

Margaret makes her specialty, various snacks, and candies that Aria stores in one of her magic boxes, which then becomes a silver bracelet around her arm. She also prepares all kinds of essential supplies for an adventure before sealing the house with powerful runes and enchantments.

Since they don't have horses, the group goes to Margaret's old house and takes the two strongest horses her father has on the farm, two big light brown mares.

Aria has special saddles in her storage treasures, big ones that are made with exceptionally light and comfortable materials, also with enchantments that decrease the weight the animals take from them.

When it's time to mount, Aria and Arthur each take one of the mares, and little Eve quickly runs to his side. "I'm going with Big Brother ~!" She exclaims and raises her cute arms for him.

Arthur never denies anything to his adorable sister, but he can see Margaret growing a little disappointed behind. He picks up Eve and puts her on the saddle while giving her head gentle pats. "You have to switch with your big sister Margaret after a while, okay?"

"Mm!" Eve nods obediently and Margaret displays a quick and expectant smile to Arthur.

So the group leaves the village on horseback: Margaret behind Aria and Arthur with Eve. Nyx does not materialize her body for obvious reasons; someone like her draws a lot of attention, especially during the day.

For the same reason, Aria wears a long gray cloak with a hood, a long-sleeve blouse, pants, and leather boots, a suit that covers her whole body from top to bottom. The others also wear cloaks but do not cover their heads while they are on the road.

Little Eve enjoys the first hours of the trip very much, even though they only see birds and other small animals like squirrels and rabbits along the village road. That is so pleasant because she can spend a lot of time with her precious big brother.

But as soon as they reach the large stone road, Arthur asks for Eve to switch places with Margaret. The little girl begins to travel with her mother while Arthur's naughty wife takes place in front of him on the saddle.

Margaret holds her cloak in front of her body as a barrier, allowing Arthur to slide one of his arms inside her blouse and hug her tightly against his body.

That position is perfect for Margaret, who receives kisses from Arthur on her neck and feels his hard rod poking on her back with each movement of the mare. He also enjoys much to feel the heat of her body and perfume, making the journey immensely pleasurable for both.

On the large stone road, everything is new to Arthur. Since the group is not in a hurry, they travel at a slow pace, and he sees hundreds of workers passing by them every hour. Most of them have carts pulled by several horses filled with basic resources such as stones, wood, fruits, and herbs.

There are also hooded travelers like them with large and fast horses that pass at full speed, soldiers ranging from warriors with heavy armor and mages with cloaks adorned with insignias, and large luxurious carriages with nobles and their servants.

Even not being among the village farmers, Arthur and Margaret still attract the attention of everyone who sees them. Her beauty has always been notable, but her facial features are becoming even more captivating in recent weeks, making her a stunning beauty, superior to all the nobles on the road.

Yet, Arthur is the one who draws the most attention from both women and men for his exceptional appearance. Everyone who looks at him is sure they have never seen a more handsome man, both in face and body.

At some point, Arthur and his family reach a squad with a hundred soldiers marching down the road, all with identical armor, except the leader, who has a brighter armor and three silver stars on top of the insignia of Lakeview City, a mountain and a lake.

The soldiers seem well disciplined, but when the group passes them, most give Arthur and Margaret some rude glimpses.

Margaret can feel all those heavy looks on her body even though she covers everything except her boots and head with the cloak. Arthur feels her shrinking like a frightened rabbit in his arms and hugs her tighter, making her smile while speaking to him mentally. 'The warmth of your body makes me feel safe…'

"Don't worry about them, honey," Arthur talks to her while kissing her neck, ignoring dozens of eyes at them. "They can only envy me for having such a beautiful wife, and I am proud to have you by my side."

Margaret giggles, and her eyes sparkle. 'You are turning me on again…' Then she makes a thoughtful expression. 'But the women are gazing at us too, you know.'

"They are envious of your beauty," Arthur whispers in Margaret's ear. "And of the fact that you have a husband who loves you so much."

'You know the sweet words, don't you?' She asks mentally while laughing.

Arthur also laughs while he and Aria make their mares run faster, quickly passing the soldiers. The leader at the front of the squad is also on horseback, despite being at the same pace as the marching soldiers. When Arthur passes him, their eyes meet for a brief second.

"Oh," The man appears to be in his thirties, with red hair and dark brown eyes that shine full of lechery when they reach Margaret.

Arthur turns and stares at the red-haired man as they move away. He can feel the darkness within that man by the way he gazes at him and Margaret. But instead of being intimidated, Arthur displays an even darker and threatening look at the man with a clear message. 'Stay away if you want to keep breathing.'

With a loud neigh, the leader of the squad's horse stops abruptly and refuses to move foward; the man shares the animal's instinctive fear just from the look he received from Arthur. "What the hell was that?!"

As the group leaves the soldiers behind, Margaret keep smiling happy, unaware of what Arthur just did. But Aria, who is following a little behind them, saw how her son made a noble in the sixth grade of the Elite Rank almost pee himself in fear with just with his eyes.

'That was so wild~!' Aria glances at Arthur and their eyes meet, his expression showing deep love now. 'He can balance darkness and light inside him with such mastery… even being my son, he still manages to surprise me…'
