I woke up to Sarah calling for me. I sat up in surprise to see Sarah next to me in a Maid outfit. I couldn't help but rub my eyes and look again, Sarah was still there. I started to speak in a tone of disbelief, while trying not to stare at her too hard.
" Sarah, what are you doing?"
Sarah looked at me with a bewitching and teasing smile, she then began to speak in a soft and gentle tone.
" I'm serving you, as a Maid, Jo.. Master."
She almost called me by name, but she realized her mistake in her performance and corrected herself. She looked at me as if she were waiting for something. If I couldn't figure it out, she spun around and smiled at me with a wide smile that made it easy to see what she wanted. I thought the action was quite cute, so it didn't take long before I started to grant her wish.
" Yes Sarah, you do look great in that. Like I said before, you'd look great in anything. I especially like how the black of the uniform highlights your white hair."
* pressure... Warm...*
Sarah walked in front of me and cupped my face in her hands. She smiled down at me and began to speak with a teasing edge to her words.
" Well now, my Master has praised me, his Maid so well. I need to reward my Master for treating me so well."
* Kiss. Wrap!*
After speaking, Sarah kissed my forehead and embraced my head into her chest. It felt so comfortable that I simply wrapped my arms around her and just sat there and waited for Sarah to finish. After around 5 minutes, she let me go. Once she let me go, she simply smiled at me and began to serve me breakfast. I felt a bit lonely when she let go. While eating, she told me she made the omelet and ham herself for me, it tasted amazing. I then went to the bathroom to freshen up and brush my teeth. it was at this point, after finishing breakfast and talking a bit, that I asked where Anna was. Sarah responded in a cheery tone.
" Well, we thought it would be strange for her to wake you up and then separate only to meet up again. So, I volunteered to wake and feed you today. Aren't I a great Fiancé? I should be rewarded for my selflessness!"
/ Step. Step. Step./
* Sit. Kiss.*
Sarah, after asking to be rewarded, walked over to my side of the dining table and sat on my lap and wrapped her hands around my back. She then lowered her face towards me, and we kissed. After licking her lips, Sarah separated from me and stood up. At this point, Sarah began to speak to me again.
" John, I'd like to know what you think about Anna, not as a Maid, but as a Woman."
I was surprised by her question. Seeing the look in my eyes, Sarah quickly followed up her question with more words.
" John, calm down. I simply want to know your honest thoughts about Anna. Just speak your mind to me. I will always be on your side, John."
* Grip!*
She held my hand to soothe me. I looked at her and began to speak as calmly as I could.
" This is all confusing to me. I mean, I know you Love me, Sarah. And I believe I am starting to Love you. But to be completely honest with you as you have been with me. There are times where I am attracted to Anna as a Woman. I view her as someone Important to me, I am not really sure what I should do about this, so I don't know how to move forward."
Sarah looked at me. I expected her to be upset, but instead, she smiled warmly at me. As she held my hand, she began to speak slowly and calmly to me.
" John, I am so glad that you have found more people you care about here in Gaia. Like I have said before. As long as I am First, I don't mind. Or in other words, as long as I am the person you Love the most in your Heart as well as your First Wife, I can accept it if you have other Wives. As for an upper limit, I think 8 if you include me, is a fair number."

After speaking, Sarah's eyes began to water as she continued to speak.
" Now of course, if you feel that a Marriage between us will not be feasible. Or I have failed to truly make you fall for me. I can accept my defeat. But that is for another day. Besides, I Swear to you, I will never allow that to happen. As for why I brought this up, I want you and Anna to enjoy your date fully without worrying about me. But just know, John, I Love you! I will always Love you the most, no matter what!"
Sarah looked at me with confidence as she spoke with tears in her eyes. I felt her anxiety with regards to me. To make her understand most of this was unnecessary worry, I stood up and touched my lips to hers.
* Kiss.*
After I separated from her, I began to speak.
" Sarah, I will give you an answer about our Relationship after I've put to rest my issues from my old world. After I beat the Hero, I would appreciate it if you would give me some of your time. And since you've already approved, granted, I'm still not completely sure about her feelings towards me, but I plan to ask Anna the same request. But please Sarah, don't cry because of this. I know I may not have said it but.... My actions when you were taken from me should speak volumes about how much you mean to me."
" !"
Sarah looked at me as I spoke and widened her eyes at my words. I wish I didn't need to beat around the bush. My words however, seemed to be effective and she began to smile while beginning to wipe her tears from her eyes.
* Wipe. Wipe.*
I proceeded to use a cloth that was on the table to wipe her tears. After her eyes and cheeks had dried, Sarah began to speak to me.
" I will always Trust you, John. But for this time, I will place my hope in you as well. The answer is yes, I will give you my time. I would give you anything you could possibly ask from me. As for Anna, well, I won't speak for her, I will simply wish you luck for today."
* Raise.*
She stood up from her improvised chair and turned fully towards me. For a few moments, Sarah and I just simply held each other. The simple truth of it, was I have begun to be addicted to having her presence near me. All of this just further convinced me that I had to finish everything in 2 months. Come rain, hail or snow, I will win. After we hugged, we began to leave the room. We started to walk to the front of the Palace, where Anna was waiting. As we walked, we ran into Aqua and Trish, it seems they were moving to the Throne Room to speak to a few of the Advisors for Domestic Matters. Aqua saw us and began to speak to Sarah first.
" Sarah! You look great in your usual clothes, but My Daughter as a Maid may just be able to top it!"
" Queen Aqua, please, fix the look on your face. The Advisors will look down on you if you do not maintain a neutral look."
Aqua was fawning over Sarah's Maid Form and Trish began to calm her down. After speaking to Sarah for a few minutes, Aqua turned to me and began to speak.
" John, how do you feel after yesterday?"
" I feel ok. So far, nothing is out of the ordinary."
Aqua was asking about me because since I learned that Buff, I was able to figure out 2 more Buffing Spells. The first was called Armaments of the Angels which increased attacking ability by 300% and Augment of the Angels, which increased speed by 300% for 2 minutes. Also, I found out that I can cast the Spells in any combination from combining any of the 2 together and gaining the effects of both and combining all 3 Spells together for one Buff. However, the benefits were reduced if I combined 2 Spells together. The increase would only be 200%. And if I did all 3, it would only increase the target's ability by 100%. However, yesterday, that changed slightly. From casting Armor so many times, it Leveled Up, it started boosting by 310% instead of 300%. The time had increased by 10 seconds as well. With that, combinations with only 1 Spell had their defense boost increase to 205% and all 3 had defense increase by 103%. The timing for them did not increase, however. These Buffs are quite the headache in a way, as I can only cast them on other people. But I can really feel my affinity with Holy Magic growing.
" Well that's great! As for the next few days, I thought of a few things to try..."
After we spent a few minutes talking about my Magic, Sarah called me to continue on to the front of the Palace. Because of that, we said our goodbyes and continued to our destination. When we arrived, I saw Anna waiting and watching for the carriage to come. In contrast to how she usually wore her hair, today she had her hair that usually reached to her back done up in a ponytail. With her hair tied up I was able to see the earrings I had gifted her from my outing with Sarah. I called out to Anna, and she turned to see me. She smiled at me and began to speak.
" Mas.. John, good morning!"
I was stunned by what I had seen before me. Anna was dressed in a light-yellow dress, the color of the dress complimented her eye and hair color to the point where I felt speechless. She was very eye catching in it. The dress highlighted her toned but shapely figure as well. By the time I had realized I was just staring at her, Anna had begun to speak. Her cheeks were starting to redden as she readied herself to speak.
" ... John, you look dashing in your outfit. It fits you very well."
Anna seemed to be a bit embarrassed as she compliment me. The outfit that I was wearing was something that Sarah gave me. It was a dark blue shirt with dark gray pants. Seeing as Anna complimented me, it was only right to compliment her.
" Anna, good morning. To be honest with you, Anna, I admit, I always knew you were a pretty girl, but that dress and how your hair has been done, combine it all with the pair of earrings you're wearing. It's made me see you in a new light. Just from this alone, thank you for wanting to go on a date with me."
Sarah simply let us talk. Maybe it was because she had me for the morning, but she seemed very calm, all things considered. We all talked for a while before the carriage approached us. Anna and I bid Sarah farewell and off we went.
