The next morning..
Raiden woke up feeling refreshed…
He looked down, at the sleeping beauty within his embrace…
Last night, Myra had insisted she slept with him, considering it was his last night for a long time at home, he could only relent, and thus cuddled in each other's embrace, they fell asleep..
Now looking at her peaceful and serene expression, the soft smile on her rosy lips, as the morning light sips through the blinds and bathed her face in soft lightening, he couldn't stop himself from being amazed…
To think such a beautiful woman would be so taken with a child..
He wasn't unaware of her unearthly beauty..
Even less so of the fact that his parents had received multiple marriage proposals from major noble households, including the BRAVEHEARTS, but Myra turned them all down..
And now he couldn't help the feeling of pride that slithered through his chest when he realized she'd done all that because of him…
Snapping out of his thoughts, he looked back at her, specifically at her rosy lips..
Unable to help himself, he leaned in for a peck on the lips…
Mmmm~~
Feeling something warm and soft on her lips, Myra woke up, only to see her young master's face up close, his lips on hers, her face turned red instantly..
"Good morning Myra" Raiden greeted after pulling back..
"Thi..this.. young master" she stuttered, face red..
"Hehehe, it wouldn't be fair if I'm the only one to take something no?, since you gave me your first kiss, it's only right I give you mine" he spoke gently, caressing her soft white hair..
"Hmmmm~" humming softly, she melted back into his embrace…
Staying like that for a few more moments before they both got up, took their bath(yes together) and went out..

At the wide open porch of the agares mansion, a procession of soldiers and servants of the duchy could be seen…
At the head of the procession were, Micheal and his wife Seraphina, together with an angsty Myra that looked just one wrong word away from bursting into tears…..
The entire mansion was mobilized to see of their young lord…
Facing this procession, Raiden stood with his grandfather, Aaron…
His grandmother, Fiore having already departed a while ago, saying something along the lines of "one dumb brute going to train a younger one, it's only fitting"..
She truly was an eccentric woman, but hey, she was his doting grandma and he wouldn't trade her for anything…
"There was no need for all this mom" Raiden said, scratching the back of his head…
"Humph, my baby is finally leaving home, he must do so grandly" she said, trying to hide the glistening corners of her eyes…
Walking forward, Raiden wrapped his arms around her in a tender hug…
Seraphina seeing her "too big to be babied" son, hugging her, reciprocated, giving him a warm, tender and love filled embrace…
"Heh…mommas boy" Micheal snickered from the side…
"Says the old man too scared of his mother to utter a peep when she was around" the quip came hard, fast, as if Raiden was just waiting for his old man to slip up, he didn't even budge from his mother's bosom..
"Why you little…." His father flushed with embarrassment..
"Heheheheh.." Seraphina laughed, her melodious laughter soothing to the ears…
"Humph" his father snorted and turn away…
Separating from his mother's embrace, he turned towards his father…
"That old man can be a demon sometimes, you sure you'll be okay" Micheal asked his son, his son who at only 5, was already showing the spirit and unyielding nature of his blood, he knew the question was redundant, but he asked nonetheless..
"I survived your nigh suicidal training regimen as just a 5 year old, I'm sure I'll be fine" Raiden spoke up, "besides, if the old man goes too far, I'll just tell on him"…
"You little piece of sh.." came Aaron's cusses
"Hahahahahaha" both father and son laughed..
"Give them hell son" Micheal raised his fist…
"You best believe it old man" Raiden bumped it…
Now face to face with his cute maid..
Being of the same height, despite their age differences, they looked into each other's eyes..
Golden eyes met Emerald Green ones..
"6 years is a long time, you sure you'll be able to wait?" he asked..
"Even if the young master went to hell, so long as you've promised to come back to Myra, she'll wait" came her reply, swift, no hesitation..
"I'm a training freak, that much I know, so, you'll call right?" He asked once more..
"Hihi.. young master will be sick of me soon enough" she giggled in response..
"Not in a million years" came his debunking of that statement..
They stayed like that in silence until..
"Myra loves you, young master" she said, face red, head bowed in embarrassment…
Stretching forth his hand, he lifted her by the chin, forcing her gaze to meet his,
"And I love you too, my cute little Myra" was his reply as he placed a tender kiss on her forehead..
Turning back, he headed towards his grandfather, who was waiting by the side of a sleek, triangular, jet black, flying vessel…
And with a backward wave of his hand, the two of them boarded the vessel, and as it took to the skies, the ones left below, the family left behind, knew, they just somehow knew, that the next they hear of their young master/son, it'll be when he's started putting the whole world on notice...
Like his father before him, and his father's father..
A/N: hmm, I was honestly going to make him not be a kid for long, but with the way things are going.. I'm not too sure anymore..
I don't even know how it developed to this stage…
Anyhoo, if you're enjoying this, leave a comment, a review, power stones, anything, just let me feel your presence..
Ps: with the way the day is looking, I might not meet my target of 6 chapters today, maybe 3 or 4, depends on my motivation…
But the day is long, I might still be able to push beyond PLUST ULTRA…
Thanks for reading…
