The dragon’s harem

Arad walked out of the bath, taking a deep breath. He ruffled his hair with the white towel Aella gave him as he looked into the hallway. He looked back, “You’re getting out?”

“I will be out soon. My hair takes some time to dry,” Aella replied from inside the bath as she pointed at her hair. [Wind Gust] She used a finger gun with magic as a hair dryer.

“Well, I don’t have much hair to dry.” Arad touched his head, “See you in the living room.” He walked away.

Aella looked at the door with a smile. And then glared at her hand, “I’ve gotten used to using my magic again.” She closed her eyes and then opened them. She could see the blood on her hands, “I should be more careful, another failed spell, and I would end up ruining everything.”

Arad walked into the living room and sat on the couch, taking a deep breath and looking at the empty table. “You want food? Wait till Aella gets out,” Lyla stared out from the kitchen.

“How is Mira doing?” Arad looked at Lyla with a smile.

“She can walk again, albeit still exhausted.” She smiled, “She’s recovering well on the first day.”

“She was strong from the start. I believe she will be up and running by the morning.” Arad smiled.

“Nothing like you. You lost your arm, didn’t you? Most people won’t recover from that for months, and it can cause adventurers to retire.” Lyla stared at his arms. They both looked fine.

“I’m a dragon. Is it strange for me to recover quickly?”

“Recovering is one thing, and growing lost limbs is another problem.” Lyla walked out of the kitchen and approached Arad, glaring at his face so close their noses almost touched. “You’re hiding something else, aren’t you?”

Arad looked away, “Not at all. I have a strong constitution.”

“A strong constitution, you say?” Lyla smiled, “Look at someone’s eyes when you lie. Try to speak with a passive face if you can. Don’t laugh or avert your eyes.” She stood, “Mira used to lie a lot, but she always got caught.”

“Can you just say that to me?” Arad looked at her.

“You two will get well. Now, can you tell me what else are you? A dragon won’t cut it.” Lyla smiled.

[There is no need to hide anything now that they know you’re a dragon.]

“Remember when I was trying to lift a Lycanthropy curse?”

looked at Lyla.

“Ara! Are you a werewolf? Or should I say a dragon wolf?” Lyla looked at him with her hands on her hips.

“Wyrmwolf. But I’m also a vampire, albeit I can walk in the sun.” Arad added.

“Both? That’s interesting. Do I need to worry about you sucking Mira dry the wrong way?” Lyla stared at him with a smile.

Arad glared at her with an exhausted face, “What way wouldn’t be wrong?” He sighed, looking at the table.

“Ask yourself. Or Mira herself, but I don’t want to see my daughter burning in the sun, so please don’t turn her into a vampire.” Lyla turned to walk toward the kitchen, “Look, Aella got out of the bath.”

Arad looked in the hallway, and Aella came, “Is dinner ready?” She asked.

“Almost. Can you get Mira?” Lyla replied from inside the kitchen. Arad stood, “I will carry her here.”

“No, she needs to walk. Let Aella bring her.” Lyla said, staring at Aella.

“Of course. Arad, help Lyla set the table.” Aella said with a smile, turning around and walking through the hallway.

Aella walked away and soon reached Mira’s room. Knock! Knock! “Mira, dinner is ready.” She pushed the door open, seeing her walk in circles around the room.

“What are you doing?” Aella asked.

“Mother didn’t let me out of the house to walk, so I’m doing it here. She feared I might collapse outside.” Mira replied with a smile.

“You were starving, after all. Did you eat something since you woke up?” Aella asked. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍．𝒏𝒆𝒕

“Milk, bread, and boiled eggs. I did also eat some honey.” Mira replied, “But I think you can’t eat those.”

Aella smiled, “We can eat bread. Albeit Milk and eggs would break my stomach.” She walked inside and extended her hand to Mira. “Let’s go. Arad and Lyla are waiting.”

Mira looked at Aella’s hand, confused. “I can walk on my own.”

“Just in case. We can’t be sure about your health until tomorrow.” Aella pulled Mira’s hand and tightened her grip, “Let’s go.”

Mira sighed, “I’m telling you, I can walk.”

The two walked out of the room after snuffing all the candles.

In the living room, Mira saw Arad and her mother sitting around the table with all the food laid down. “What took you so long? Can’t she walk?” Lyla looked at them with a grin.

“I can walk. I’m not exhausted anymore.” Mira gasped.

“I can’t be sure you’re fine until you had a hearty meal.” Lyla called the two to sit, “Arad here can finish the whole table if you two don’t hurry.”

Everyone sat around the table, eating their full. Except for Arad, he ate only for show as his body is that of a dragon. A human portion is like eating a single spoon.

After dinner, Lyla looked at Aella and Arad. “Now that we finished, I have something to ask.” She looked at Mira, “Arad is a vampire and a werewolf.”

Mira blinked, staring at him, “For real? No wonder you’re so tough.”

“You aren’t scared?” Arad looked at her.

“Why would I? You saved me, and you being those won’t change the Arad I know.” She smiled.

“See? I told you they wouldn’t get scared.” Aella smiled.

“Now that you know that.” Lyla cleared her throat, taking a deep breath. “I would love to wait and see it slowly blossom, but I’m getting old and impatient.” She looked at Aella. “Can Mira get with Arad as well?”

Aella blinked twice, and Mira gasped, standing up, “Mother!”

“What do you say?” Lyla looked at Aella.

“Shouldn’t you be asking him and not me?” Aella smiled.

“Arad won’t mind.” Lyla waved her hand, “And it’s the wife’s choice when adding mistresses to the house.”

“Aella and I aren’t married yet.” Arad looked at Lyla.

“It doesn’t matter. If those two don’t agree with each other, it will fracture the family in the future.” Lyla looked at Arad. “You don’t want that, do you?”
