It was slow, gentle, thoughtful, hot and loving. How long being in heaven lasts during lovemaking is always difficult to judge, but soon a desire, an urge causing a need within her.

She began to pull him against her, harder, faster, trying to rub herself to completion.

Closer, hotter, she felt it was already coming for her, a feeling almost seems like the coming of the comet portrayed in Deep Impact. Mia felt her body trembled and spasm.

An extraordinary flush dyed her face, her breathing ragged and her head, she felt extremely light headed. A flush to end all flushes as she exploded, crying out far louder than normal her love for this extraordinary man she had loved now for many years.

That wasn’t the end as more moaning, groaning, longing, wailing cry of sheer pleasure resounded the entire room.

... ...

... ...

“Hehe,” As Allen was stroking Mia’s hair while laying his back on the bed, he suddenly heard Mia giggled.

“What is it?”

“Hmm, I’m just happy…”

“Happy, ha… well, indeed, I have always thought of doing this but… well, you know responsibility stuff like that… though I got tired of it,” Allen kissed Mia’s hair.

Mia cuddled into him, her head on his chest, hearing his fast-beating heart, enjoying his warmth and gentle touch, Mia felt fulfilled. Unknowingly, she drifted off to sleep.

Allen didn’t hear any response so when he looked, Mia was already sleeping very peacefully with a face full of smiles.

Smiling wryly, Allen stroke her head and also closed his eyes.

Mia fumbles on the bed for a while upon waking up. She extended her hand, looking for something but for some reason, she didn’t feel anything.

Frowning, she opened her eyes but Allen was already nowhere.

“Allen…” as she was dissatisfied and felt a bit of disappointment, suddenly, the bathroom door opened.

In the dense water vapors, Allen came out with only a towel wrapped around his waist.

His hands hold another white towel to dry his hair as he walks towards the bed.

Seeing this, the disappointment inside her heart immediately vanished as if it was never there in the first place.

“Good morning…” Mia greeted sweetly.

“Good morning, love. How’s your sleep?” Allen, who is wiping his hair, responded with a smile.

There are water droplets on his sculpted torso. A droplet falls down from his hair, mysteriously and slowly glides down his Adam’s apple, chest, abdomen and in the end disappears into you know where.

Mia liked what she was seeing as she only has to glance at that to feel her heartbeat and blood pressure soaring. This was the happiest moments of her life.

You know what? It’s the most wonderful thing in the world to wake up and the first person you saw was the person you loved most and longed for in this world.

To know that there will still be a thousand more mornings like this. And then another thousand.

Such a wonderful thing… if the world isn’t twisted then, this would be a perfect thing…

Mia rose up as she lifts up the blanket and covered her body. She then tapped the bed.

“Come here,”

Allen obeyed and walked towards it and sat in front of her. Mia took a blow dryer from the closet beside the bed and started drying Allen’s wet hair.

The time for them was peaceful and precious… not even the finest diamond or Godly tiered skill can buy it.

Allen walked down the stairs. Allen, who has just woken up, was wearing a gray sweater and flag-sized jeans.

Waiting on the floor was Mia’s parents, Xia Yi Bianchi and Jira Bianchi as well as Layla, Sara and Allen’s mother, Aemie Villaflores.

“Good Morning…”

“Good Morning…”

Allen greeted with a smile and walked towards them. “The smells delicious,” He said with a smile.

“Yes, and tastes too,” Layla told him uncompromisingly. In her hand was porridge for breakfast. She scooped one and extends it towards Allen.

Allen opened his mouth and ate it. “Hmm, indeed.”

Allen muttered with a happy smile as he seated himself between Sara and his mother Aemie.

“Here,” Sara took her own bowl of porridge and delivers it to him. She then pushed forward a shaker of salt and a big jug of creamy fresh milk.

Sara poured in milk like a loving little wife which Allen quite enjoyed being served on. He then looked around,

“Do you need something, son?” Aemie noticed his eyes and asked.

“Sugar for the porridge,” Allen answered.

“Dear me, I’ve never heard of anyone using sugar with porridge before,” Aemie said doubtfully.

“I do,” Allen said with a smile. “I have a sweet tooth and I’m not fond of spicy foods…”

“I’ll remember that,” Aemie muttered as she called for a servant.

“So, where’s Mia…?” Xia Yi asked as she put down the teacup she was holding.

“She said she would visit the communication room for a bit… trying to catch some information…”

“That girl is really workaholic… just who did she inherit it from…?”

“I think that would be you, my dear,” Jira answered. “I remembered the first time we met… you were working as a secretary and I heard that you always work overtime…”

“Not me,” Xia Yi retorted. “She only got my looks and brains…”

Allen chuckled at the scene of them flirting with each other.

“Ah, right dear, are you staying long?” Xia Yi suddenly thought about something and asked, her eyes darting curiosity.

When that question was asked, all eyes immediately went towards Allen.

“Well, that depends –”

“Depends…? Depends on what?” Aemie asked worriedly. “If you needed something… I can help…”

Allen shook his head. “I’m still not sure. I’m planning to play here for a whole month or two, depending on the situation in the Philippines.”

Allen scooped a spoonful of Porridge and sprinkled it with a dunce cap of powdered sugar which the servants brought. “Mia was keeping her eyes on that little land for me, so I’m not really in a rush. Besides, if I just showed up and always clean for their mess, the Superhumans in that side won’t grow and spread their wings properly. I only have problems with Dirtguy so he was my only target…”

He didn’t say his own opinion in which he, in fact, felt that it was just too troublesome since he was in front of his and Mia’s family. He didn’t want to be seen as selfish…

“Well, heard things getting risky with you, with all the Monster Kings and stuff…” Jira muttered, looking at Allen quizzically, his eyes twinkling like he wants to hear some interesting stories. “… So how’re you hanging?”

“Well, not hanging but… they're indeed hot on my tail.” Allen quipped with a wicked grin. “I’m guessing they will be asking me to show up some time now… especially the ones who maintained the Kings Court.”

“Kings Court… huh,” Aemie muttered. “Can’t believe they were true… so, are you really going to be fine? With those monsters chasing you down?”

Allen licked his spoon and let his body leaned on the couch. “The Monster Kings War had already begun but since Bataliel had already died along with the Orc Lord and Azi Dahaka, the Monster Kings had miraculously gotten its new balance… which is including me, the world had a total of 10 Monster Kings.”

“… If the Monster Kings still continue their nonsensical war at this point, I will be seen as the third possible faction…”

“Faction? You mean you’re going to build your own force?” Layla frowned.

“Probably… well, even if I won’t do it, the Monster Kings will do it themselves.”

“What do you mean?” Xia Yi asked doubtfully. What did he mean by that the other Monster Kings will make Allen’s force themselves, isn’t that helping your enemy?

“Ah! I see!” Before Allen could answer, Aemie suddenly exclaimed, her eyes shining in realization. Besides Aemie, Layla also had a realization, albeit late than her mother.

“My son killed the Monster Kings Azi Dahaka and Bataliel and each of them came from different faction right?” Aemie explained as she was given acquisitive looks from Xia Yi, Jira, and Sara.

This information wasn’t new to her since this was the information gathered by Mia and she, of course, gotten it since she had gathered information about his son’s work all this time. And this information was included in it… in fact, everyone present knows about this including Xia Yi and Jira.

“With just this, the other Monster Kings will see Cris as a new competitor… a new faction, even if that faction didn’t exist yet. With that truth, they will see him as a very dangerous person that could either become the worst enemy or a reliable ally since he had managed to defeat two powerful Monster Kings…”

“There’s also the existence of the other Monster King; Alkrasha, who killed the Orc Lord, for Allen..” Layla also added. “She was already known to them as Allen’s loyal ally and so with this, Allen’s faction had killed three Monster Kings already. It would be hard to see him as just a new and weaker force now…”

“With that, the other Monster Kings will start to hesitate where to put their trust on. To their current allies or to Allen, who was new and yet had managed to already kill three Monster Kings.” Aemie continued.

Aemie and Layla’s brainwaves seem to have been in sync… as expected of mother and daughter.

In fact, this was not just a guess anymore as this was already happening in the world.
