[Kayden and Misha have invited you to their wedding!]
"No way. They are getting married?!" Zach exclaimed.
"Isn't this too soon for them?" Aria wondered.
"But they were already engaged before, so I guess this is a natural approach to advance their relationship?"
"Yeah." Zach nodded and said, "Kayden did say that he was not going to play this game and spend his time with Misha. So I guess this is what he was aiming for."
"When is the wedding…" Aurora read the invitation and her eyes widened after reading the wedding date.
"It's today?!" She exclaimed.
"Three hours from now on, to be exact," Zach read.
"But why so suddenly?" Aria wondered. "They could have done it tomorrow or next week. We would have time to prepare—"
"That's not it, Aria." Zach interrupted Aria and said, "I think they are getting married now because of us."
"What do you mean?" Aria asked with a puzzled look on her face. "We didn't do anything… oh!"
Aria finally realized what Zach meant.
"When Misha and Kayden came over last time, it was with Victoria. And Victoria invited us for the dungeon raid. I had told Victoria that we would ascend after the raid, so Kaden and Misha knew that if they got married afterward, we would have to descend again," Zach exclaimed.
"But descending only takes like 10 seconds. They shouldn't have worried about it," Aurora retorted.
"They both are like that," Zach scoffed.
"Then we should get ready for their wedding, right?!" Aurora exclaimed. "What should I do? I have been to various weddings, but it was always my maids who did—"
"We don't have to do anything," Zach snorted. "I bet they invited only a few people. Like our classmates, Misha's friends, and other people. And honestly, I doubt everyone would come at such short notice."
"But we are going, right?" Aurora and Aria asked with a knowing look on their faces.
"Of course, we are going. Kayden is my best buddy. He is like my brother, and Misha is like my sister," Zach stated.
"So what do we do? We have to give them something as a present, right?" Aria questioned with a curious look on her face. "What should I give? Should I give them my blessings? But I don't have my godly powers right now…"
Zach scoffed and smiled at Aria after seeing her freaking out like that.
'She is just like an ordinary girl from the inside,' he thought.
Aria caught Zach smiling at her and thought he was making fun of her. So she furrowed her brows and muttered, "Useless husband."
Zach walked past Aria and patted her on the shoulder before saying, "Don't worry too much about it. I am sure they don't expect us to bring them presents in the first place."
Zach entered his room and came out with a pair of clothes in his hand.
"I am going to take a bath," he said. Then, he glanced at Aurora and said, "You haven't taken a bath either, am I right?"
Aurora nodded in response.
"Want to take a bath together?" Zach said with a grin on his face.
"Sure," Aurora nodded.
Of course, Zach meant that as a joke, and he was simply trying to tease Aurora. But never in his wildest dream had he expected Aurora to nod and agree to it.
"Wait… are you sure?" Zach asked again.
"I am."
"Like… seriously?"
Aurora squinted her eyes and entered the bathroom before Zach.
"…"
Zach glanced at Aria, who was as speechless as him.
"Good luck, I guess…" Aria shrugged her shoulders and went into her room.
Zach entered the bathroom and saw Aurora standing in the middle while facing her back at the door.
Of course, she was wearing clothes.
"Close the door," Aurora said without looking back.
Zach closed the door and stood beside Aurora.
"I like this sudden development," he said.
"I do too."
They both stood there for a few seconds until Aurora pushed Zach forward and said, "I am going to close my eyes and turn around. You take off your clothes and go sit in the bathtub with your eyes closed."
"…"
"And don't open them unless I say so," Aurora instructed.
"…"
"Okay? I will get angry if you open your eyes before that," Aurora warned.
"Don't worry. I am not going to slay my golden goose," Zach scoffed.
"Go, now." Aurora closed her eyes and turned around.
Zach took off his clothes and sat in the bathtub filled with mild warm water.
"Did you close your eyes?" Aurora asked in a loud voice.
Zach leaned back and closed his eyes before saying, "I did."
Zach wanted to open his eyes and see, but he didn't. He could hear the rustling sound of Aurora taking off her clothes.
After a few seconds, Zach could feel the water level rising in the bathtub, seemingly because Aurora got into the bathtub.
"…."
Zach waited for Aurora to tell him to open his eyes, but minutes passed by, and Aurora never told him what he wanted to hear.
"Are you there?" Zach asked without opening his eyes.
"Yes."
"So… when do I get to open my eyes?"
"After we finish taking a bath," Aurora replied with a grin on her face, but of course, Zach couldn't see that.
"…"
"Just curious, but what would you do if I said that?" Aurora asked.
"I wouldn't open my eyes as I promised you," Zach responded. "But I made no promises about not touching you."
"…"
"So I will do things to you without opening my eyes."
"Is that a joke?" Aurora asked with a curious look on her face.
"Kind of."
After a brief silence, Aurora said, "You can open your eyes."
Zach slowly opened his eyes and saw Aurora sitting in front of him, naked. She was covering her breasts and sacred spot with her hands.
"Do… you want to see more…?" Aurora asked hesitantly.
Zach nodded in response without saying anything.
Aurora reluctantly removed her hands and revealed her naked body to Zach.
"How do I look…?" she asked.
Zach pointed his gaze at his erect snake and said, "Do I need to say anything?"
