They had all sex all day and only went out for dinner. When night came they both were exhausted thus they slept while hugging each other.
Next morning when Max woke up, Lilly was looking at his face, dazed.
Max gently tapped her nose "Good morning beautiful!"
"G-Good morning young master!" She greeted him back.
Max pinched her nose this time and said "You don't need to call me young master when we are alone okay."
Lilly didn't say anything, she just nodded and snuggled in his chest lovingly. Max smile at this and cupped her face and planted a kiss on her pink lips.
For a few days, their days passed . He enjoyed his time with Lilly. They had sex almost daily. He had now accumulated many lust points but he didn't use them yet. One day his father, Ashton Garfield, called for him.
When he went to meet his father with the butler, he was in his study going through some documents. When Max entered his study chamber, he stopped doing what he was doing and waved his hand to the Butler who escorted Max here. Butler bowed and left.
"Come sit son." He gestured him to sit in the seat next to him.
Max didn't hesitate and sat down. Ashton spoke after a few moments.
"Do you what is important in a man's life?" he asked looking at Max, his face calm.
Max was bewildered by the question. He gave it some thought and was about to speak when he answered his own question.
"I am sure what you thought would also be important but the answer I have for this question is his dignity. Dignity is very important to a man. If you don't have any dignity, any respect, then there is no value to your life."
Max listened attentively. He wasn't sure what his father wanted say so he listened.
"I know Max what you have been doing for the fast few days and I won't tell you to stop. If you like Lilly I've no objection whatsoever. You should do what you want in your life. I did the same too.
But you mustn't forget that in this world, only strong have dignity, respect. Only they can protect their loved ones. You might not know but danger is lurking everywhere. Hard times are ahead of us.
I was always worried for you because you couldn't train and didn't have any hope to become a mage. But by god's grace now you can. So, You must focus on your training more son. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to protect our family. You have to become strong so that if I'm not here to protect them, then you can. Now go son and think how you want to live your life." He patted Max's shoulder and sent him out.
Watching his figure disappearing Ashton shook his head and sighed. 'I hope you won't disappoint me Max.'
Max was sitting in his room, thinking about his father's words. After sitting there for a few hours he stood up. He had decided to work hard to become strong as not to let his father down. In his previous life he couldn't do anything for his father who worked all his life for him. But this time he once again had chance.
He went out of his room and quickly found Lilly. He then told her to accompany him to the forest.
He wanted to train there, fighting real life battles with magical beasts. In these past few days, Max came to know that although Lilly had yet to become a one-star mage, she was only a step away from it thus he decided to take her with him so that she also can train and he will have company there.
They took a horse from the stable and Headed in the direction of the forest. Max sat behind Lilly holding her slender waist. Unlike the first Lilly didn't feel uncomfortable or nervous with him holding her waist and sitting behind her. In fact she was happy.
They had accepted each other in body and soul. Max even moved her to his room so that they could be together all the time. This made Lilly to love him even more.
Now they were like real couples. Lilly won't object whenever he asked to have sex or tease her when no one was around. Thanks to their 'special' training in bed Max had a lot of lust points available but he didn't use them.
[ Name: Maxwell Garfield ]
[ Lust Points: 10235 ]
After travelling for more than half an hour they arrived outside the forest.
"Young master we've arrived," Lilly called out softly.
Max who was leaning his head on her shoulder, inhaling her aroma, woke up from his trance. "Good. Let's go get some fighting experience." He said excitedly.
They left their horse outside and walked into the forest. Not long after they found a silver wolf. It was resting on a rock, its eyes shut. Its fur was silver-coloured. It didn't have an intimidating presence so Max turned to Lilly and asked in a whisper.
"How about we fight this..." Max hadn't even finished speaking when Lilly grabbed his hand and ran in the opposite direction at full speed.
After getting far enough from the silver wolf she stopped, breathing heavily. Her forehead was covered with beads of cold sweat but Max situation was worse than her. He was gasping for air badly. Although he had grown stronger but her physical capacity was only equal to a normal human. He had a confused look on his face because he didn't know why they had to run like their life depended on it. but he could guess it was related to that harmless looking wolf.
"What happened Lilly? Why did we have to run away?" Max asked after catching his breath.
"Young master, we should get out of here as soon as possible." Lilly spoke grimly.
"What... Why? Can you tell me what is the matter?" He asked puzzled with her answer.
Lilly took a deep breath "Young master, As you can see we are only in the outer region of the forest but we encountered a powerful beast. Remember Last time we came here with miss Emily she said that manor has received requests to kill some beasts as they are starting to target merchant caravans and that time, when we were only at the periphery of inner area but we encountered that a two star beast, red hawk."
"And now we encountered that silver wolf just in the outer region. it's not a normal occurrence by any means. We should get out of here as soon as possible and inform master Ashton about the situation here, if not it can be a huge problem because I think a... beast tide might be rising. Lilly explained, fear visible on her face.
Beast tide? It was when the beasts, in large numbers, get out of control and attacked whoever or whatever they encounter. It was said that in the past many villages, towns and even some cities were destroyed in these beast tides.
