'Oh, that's interesting; look at you getting even more benefits from being Married to the most handsome and powerful Demon Lord ever known to Exist.' Cynrik thought with a cocky smirk plastered across his lips.
It was one thing for the wedding ring, which was a simple silver band without any gemstones, to be a physical representation that the individual wearing it was taken and married.
But when said ring was instead an artifact with a life-saving option, now THAT was something extraordinary. The only issue is the ring itself was part of a couple's set.
One for the Wife, and one for the Husband, in this case Cinyah and Rikard. But now that the Ring of Forever promise was firmly on Selene's finger, Cynrik couldn't help but wonder how he would remedy this issue.
"It's beautiful…thank…thank you, Mom," While Cynrik was lost in his thoughts, Selene embraced Cinyah. Although she hadn't put much thought into wearing a wedding ring, as she knew that Cynrik would eventually get around to crafting one for her, Selene was overjoyed to receive such a helpful tool.
Especially since she knew her future and that of Cynrik would be filled with many crises, disasters, and dangerous events. Having one more plan to fall back on and another trump card in her toolbox would never be a bad thing, and now that she essentially had an "extra life," she couldn't be happier.
"Hah, it is tradition, sweety; like I said earlier, if my knucklehead of a son had given me a heads up, I would have long since prepared it for you, as the moment he chose you, the ring ceased to belong to me." Returning her new daughter's embrace, Cinyah couldn't help but shoot an antagonizing glance at Cynrik, who flinched upon realizing he was still not out of hot water.
"COUGH!" With the sugar level in the training room rising rapidly, Jessup could no longer stay silent as he loudly cleared his throat, earning himself a smack from his daughter Maeve, who had tears running down her cheeks.
"Knock it off, Dad. I know you are still upset that Cynrik ignored you and ran off into a dangerous area, but give them a couple of minutes to enjoy the fact that they've announced their marriage." Maeve hissed as she reached up, grabbed Jessup's fleshy side, pinched and twisted.
Anyone who knew Maeve knew that the woman was a hopeless romantic, who, when she wasn't manning the shop she owned with her father, could be found on the couch watching sappy romance movies on the HoloTv.
Some people build model kits or have strange hobbies as their guilty pleasure, however; Maeve's was Romance movies, especially RomCom (Romantic Comedy) ones, so seeing the plot of one of her movies playing out in real-time, she couldn't stop the waterworks, not giving a damn that the image she had carefully crafted in front of MyrkLys was crumbling in seconds.
"Hisssss, they are too young to be married legally, Maeve; even if the CSH has acknowledged it, that won't fly with the Government; scratch that, Selene is old enough, but Cynrik is still two years shy." Swatting away Maeve's hand with practiced expertise, a sign that her actions were a common occurrence, Jessup rebutted, earning him the ire of a pissed-off MILF.
"Who gives a damn about the government's approval, anything the Central System Hub does and acknowledges supersedes what those old fogeys running the country think or do." With a huff, Maeve tried to attack her father's waist again but stopped instantly upon hearing his following words.
"Watch your tongue; you never know who is listening. The last thing we need is for the Enforcers to kick in the door and haul you off as a terrorist." Breaking the wordplay they were having, Jessup suddenly got serious, causing Maeve to step back and frown.
"Yeah, sure, like they would bother dealing with the abundant Divine Particles coding half of Valor City just to abduct me; let's be real, Dad, they have bigger fish to fry, like I don't know, hunting down the person who caused this whole issue." Maeve placed her hands on her hips and fought back verbally since there was no way she could even move a single hair on her father's head if he didn't allow it.
"For crying out loud, Rikard, Geralt, and Garrison left over a month ago and have yet to return, which, in itself, is a problem, yet the one time we get good news that Cynrik and Selene are back in one piece and even better they GOT MARRIED UNDER THE EYE OF THE CSH, you wish to sully the moment by dragging your idiotic old school thoughts into the room." By the end of her statement, Maeve was out of breath and red in the face as her emotions fluctuated wildly.
"Well, that's news to me; care to fill in the loving married couple who triumphantly returned out of the blue as to why those three left the Mansion in the first place?" Chiming in teasingly, Cynrik appeared between the furious Maeve and the flustered Jessup, his arms crossed and his left hand holding his chin as if he were a scholarly man inquiring about important philosophical information.
Unfortunately, he had chosen the absolutely WRONG time to do so, as his act of pseudo-teleporting between them caught Maeve off guard, startling her and resulting in the Milfy blond throwing a savage haymaker toward Cynrik's head at full strength.
WOOOSH
"Fuck woman, watch where you're throwing those Gorrilla-sized hands around; shit, what would you have done if it was someone weaker." Leaning back out of harm's way with ease, Cynrik dodged the attack; however, due to his taunting words, three more attacks were launched toward his head.
"THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME CYNBRAT!" With a furious roar, Maeve went on the offense, thinking she was required, as Cynrik's elder, to teach the brat a lesson in etiquette.
But as she soon found out, the days of her easily beating Cynrik into submission had long since expired, as within 10 seconds, she was pinned to the ground, face first, with the young man kneeling on the small of her back in a police-style hold.
Of course, since this was Cynrik we were talking about, and he already had the green light from Selene, he made sure to take a few liberties with Maeve and cop a good feel or two in the process, pissing the MILF off even further.
Due to his dexterous abilities, speed, and ability to use shadows to his advantage, Cynrik could perfectly hide his actions from everyone…well, almost everyone.
The only exception was Brance, who had his [Mana Sight] Active to watch his brother's movements and, as a result, spotted his brother getting a handful of Maeve's plump, perky right breast, as well as him sliding a hand into the back of her jeans to grasp her fleshy ass.
{{YOU TWO-TIMING BASTARD, CYNRIK WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING??? YOU ARE MARRIED; HOW COULD YOU DO THAT IN FRONT OF SELENE?}} Brance howled angrily into the mind link, causing Cynrik to smirk in response and glance at Selene, who tossed him a loving smile and then looked toward Brance.
{{Don't worry, Brancie, if it were anyone else, I would be furious; however, I have already given him a free pass with Maeve; he can even knock her up if it is within his abilities. Oh, Tobs, can you send Brance the notification Cyn and I got after our Marriage Ceremony so he can see why I am not worried?}}
