A breathtaking landscape unfolded under the radiant blue sky. Lush green grass swayed in the gentle breeze, painting a serene and picturesque scene.
Amid this tranquil beauty sat a stunning aqua-haired woman wearing delicate glasses. Her warm smile seemed to hold the essence of the world’s beauty, a smile so enchanting it could bring even the strongest man to his knees.
Yet, Her gaze was fixed lovingly on a tall, white-haired man approaching her.
His strides were casual yet deliberate, the teasing curl of his lips blended with a tenderness that made her heart skip a beat every time she saw it.
‘No matter how many times I see that smile… it always makes my heart race. My husband… he’s truly irresistible…~Hehe~’ she thought, her cheeks tinged pink as her fingers lightly traced the rim of her glasses. Her gaze shifted slightly upward—to the man’s head—where—
“MOMMY!! LOOK, I FINISHED THE PUZZLE THAT DADDY GAVE ME!!”
A cheerful voice cut through her thoughts. A child perched on the man’s shoulders waved a small, colourful cube proudly, their pure and radiant smile enough to melt even the iciest hearts.
The aqua-haired woman’s expression softened further as she smiled at the child. She felt a deep warmth in her chest, ‘What more could a mother ask for?’ she thought, basking in her family’s happiness.
But then her gaze landed on the puzzle cube, and her serene smile faltered. Her brows furrowed in disapproval as she shot a pointed look at her husband, who smirked as if he had expected this moment all along. Experience more tales on My Virtual Library Empire
“Sigh… I can’t believe you gave her that of all things. Do you have any—”
Before she could finish, the man leaned down and stole her words with a firm yet gentle kiss.
“You’re even cuter when you’re angry~,” he teased, his voice low and playful as his lips lingered near hers.
Her cheeks flared crimson, her composure slipping for just a moment.
The child giggled at the scene, their small hands clutching the man’s silver hair, “Mom’s blushing! Daddy really knows how to handle my strict, ice-cold mother!”
The woman’s demeanour turned sharp instantly, her icy glare locking onto the child. “Who are you calling strict and ice-cold, you little brat?!” she snapped, swiftly grabbing the child’s ear and tugging it with just enough force to make her point.
“Ouch, ouch! Daddy, help me!!” the child cried, squirming in her grasp.
The man chuckled, a deep, amused sound that made her heart flutter again despite her irritation, “Haha… You kind of had that one coming, little troublemaker~.”
The child pouted, their lips trembling dramatically. “I can’t believe you’re siding with Mommy! Fine, then—I’ll call my other mommies for help!” They puffed out their chest and shouted at the top of their lungs,
“MOMMIEEEESSS! HELP MEEE!!”
In a matter of seconds,
Thud!
Zzzzz!
The air shifted as an ice spear slammed into the ground near the woman’s foot, and a blazing red sword zipped through the air toward her.
Without flinching, she caught the sword between two fingers and turned her stern gaze toward the approaching figures.
“What do you think you’re doing, Sister Del?”
“Hurting our darling child? Seems like Sister Del needs a lesson…. even though she is a teacher~”
Hearing those sounds, Her lips twitched as her sharp eyes flicked to the child, who grinned mischievously. Behind her, multiple figures began to emerge—not one, not two… there were nearly—
“What the—?!”
Delphine’s eyes flew open, her body jolting as she woke from the dream. Her chest rose and fell rapidly, her face pale and drenched in sweat. Wrapping herself tightly in her quilt, she glanced to her side—and saw no one.
“A-Aether?” she whispered, her voice trembling as unease settled in. She was about to get up when—
“Good morning, sleepyhead~,” came a familiar voice, rich and smooth.
Delphine turned toward the doorway to see Aether stepping inside with a plate of food in his hands. His presence immediately eased her racing heart.
But as he noticed her flushed and sweaty face, his expression shifted to concern.
He placed the plate on the table and approached her, kneeling beside the bed. “Are you alright? Did you have a fever?” he asked softly, his hand brushing against her forehead, his touch warm and reassuring.

Delphine sighed, a weak smile curving her lips. “It’s nothing… I think I just had a nightmare or something. Yes, that’s it—a nightmare… It has to be,” she muttered, her voice carrying a mix of doubt and desperation as she leaned against his firm chest.
Aether’s fingers gently combed through her hair as he chuckled, “Don’t worry. Whatever it was, it can’t hurt you now. I’m here, and I’ll make sure no nightmares ever bother you again.”

Delphine hummed softly, nestling closer to him as her tense body began to relax.
The memories of yesterday flooded back into her mind—a simple dinner invitation that spiralled into something far more dangerous. She recalled the heated moments vivid images flooded her mind—Aether pinning her to the couch, the passionate interlude in the bathtub, and then the way he had taken her again in bed… and hang—
Her face flushed in realization as everything from yesterday came crashing down on her, the shock making her freeze. She couldn’t believe what had happened!
“H-How did I…?” she whispered, her face contorted in disbelief. “A strict, cool professor doing something so… so vicious and disgusting…” She couldn’t wrap her head around it. She wanted to dig a hole and hide in it for the rest of her life, never coming out.
Aether couldn’t suppress the chuckle that rose in his chest, knowing exactly what was going on—she was having a full-blown existential kink crisis.
Suddenly, the quilt slipped from her form, revealing her naked body in all its glory. Her face exploded into a bright red hue, and she shrieked in pure embarrassment,
“KKYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAA!!!” She scrambled for the quilt, desperately clutching it to her chest as she bolted out of the bed.
“Hahahaha! I’ve already seen everything, you idiot… hahah!” Aether laughed heartily, watching her regret her actions just as he had anticipated. ‘Oh dear, I really want to tease her even more…’ he thought with a devilish grin before shedding his clothes and striding confidently into the bathroom.
“W-Wait! A-Aether~ ah~ clam dow~AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~”

….
….
After her intense morning workout, Delphine sat at the dining table, her body wrapped in layers of clothing.
She was determined to keep herself fully covered, not giving that shameless pervert even a sliver of opportunity.
As she began eating, her guard remained up, but the warmth of the meal melted some of her defences.
“Hmm… it’s good,” Delphine murmured, her lips curling into a soft smile. The comforting flavours danced on her tongue, and her heart swelled with warmth.
Knowing Aether had prepared this meal just for her made it even more special. Yet, beneath her smile, a flicker of sadness emerged. “I should’ve woken up earlier and surprised you with my cooking instead…” she trailed off, her voice tinged with regret. She felt a little guilty for not being the one to greet him with a meal.
Aether tensed, his heart skipping a beat as fear itched on his face, “T-There’s no need to think about that,” he said firmly, trying to sound in control. “You were tired, so I took the liberty. Besides… I like cooking. It makes me happy to cook for you… and watch you enjoy every bite.” His gaze softened slightly before his lips curled into a teasing smirk.
“Honestly, I’d love to see you get a little chubby and extra cute~” he added, hoping to lighten the mood while hiding the panic clawing at the back of his mind.

Delphine’s cheeks flushed, her earlier melancholy replaced by a soft blush. She shyly nodded, biting her lower lip. Aether exhaled in relief, internally rejoicing. ‘Thank goodness she bought it… I barely escaped with my life!’
As he watched her, his expression turned serious. His playful demeanour faded, and a weighty silence settled between them.
“Del… we need to talk,” he began, his voice steady but cautious.
“You’ve noticed my tattoo, right? It’s more than just a mark. It’s a power granted by Arcane…”
He treaded carefully, revealing only part of the truth. He knew that telling her everything now would risk not only her trust but also their future.
The Timing was crucial!!
If she discovered the full extent of his secrets too soon… well, even he wasn’t sure what the consequences would be.
And with Yanderes involved, anything spiralling out of control was a death sentence.
He already had a plan… just needed to execute it when everything got out of his hand!
Delphine blinked, stunned by his confession. Her fingers hovered near her lips as she processed his words. “So… if I were to get a tattoo like that… I’d be connected to you… forever?” Her voice wavered, her face reddening rapidly. “L-Like a marriage connection? O-Or… are you proposing to me?” Her eyes widened, her mind spinning at the implication. Her pulse raced as she struggled to steady her breathing.
Aether gave a small nod, “Well… you could say that.”
Delphine’s eyes brimmed with tears, her emotions swirling between shock, happiness, and something far more intense. “Del?” Aether’s brow furrowed in concern. “Are you—mmffff~!”
His question was cut off as Delphine surged forward, pressing her lips fiercely against his, silencing him in an instant.

Her soft tears turned into something else entirely. Her gaze darkened with desire, her hands clutching at his clothes with desperate need. Without a word, she tore her own garments away, her body trembling with lust.
She didn’t care about modesty anymore—only him.
And then,
