With a member of the Royal Family dying before things could get fully underway, none of the guests were surprised when Paul's 10th birthday celebration was promptly canceled. However, due to the suddenness of the Duke's death, they were forced to st...

"Mmm...?"
Opening his eyes, the first thing Paul saw was Xinyan's face less than ten centimeters away from his own. She had one hand on his chest while the other could be felt directing his little brother to the entrance of a dark and steamy cavern.<...

Even after several minutes had passed, Ningguang could barely retain her focus as she stared up at the ceiling with an absentminded expression on her face. She was covered in sweat, and, despite taking a medicine that was supp...
2021-12-05 11:13:39 +0000 UTC View PostJust as Paul was beginning to wonder if they had stayed in the bath a little too long, a young girl with pale purple hair, even paler skin, and vibrant, purple-pink eyes entered into the room, stating, "Master Paul, everything has been prepared."
"Right. Thank you, Qiqi."
"Nn..."

Though his body briefly tensed due to the girl appearing just after he left his father's room, almost like she had been tr...

"Can't I just be thinking about nothing...?"

"It was just a joke, Eula...please don't apologize..."
"I see...I'll remember that..."

Suppressing a sigh, Paul just closed his eyes, the soft feeling of Eula's inordinately d...
2021-12-04 08:56:20 +0000 UTC View PostWith Amarant's recent return and Ningguang not wanting to leave her projects untended for 8-10 weeks, Paul's scheduled tour of the Region was canceled. Instead, he spent his vacation much like his time at the Academy, primarily focused on training and interspaced by periods of borderline philande...
2021-12-04 03:57:00 +0000 UTC View PostInterrupting the long moment of silence that had set in between Paul and Ningguang, Zhongli entered the room to say, "We just received word from the scouts traveling ahead of the convoy. Lord Amarant will be arriving in the next hour."
Without raising her head from Paul's shoulder, Ningguan...

Though she didn't mind cuddling together in front of the hearth, Ganyu had gotten used to frequenting Valentine's room. She wasn't her servant or anything, but she proactively performed many of the same...
2021-12-03 07:53:09 +0000 UTC View PostWaking early the following morning, just after 1 AM, the first thing Paul noticed was the top of Ganyu's head. Even without him asking, she had reverted to being his squishy and fragrant hug pillow of her own accord.
Unfortunately, the inevitable had finally happened as Paul's little brothe...
2021-12-03 03:17:18 +0000 UTC View PostWith introductions complete, Paul and Ningguang spent a bit of time discussing the matter of Princess Andromeda before parting ways. Paul was mentally and physically drained after ten days in a carriage, so, even though it was only 4:15 PM, he decided to turn in for the night.
Since Jean, B...

Though she had no idea who he was referring to, Ningguang giggled in response to Paul's words before asking, "Did I do well~?"
Seeing a diverse range of hundreds of people lining the hallway, each bowing respectfully as he, Ningguang,...
2021-12-02 07:23:15 +0000 UTC View PostFollowing Jean's departure, Paul returned Princess Andromeda to her original seat before sitting across from her. Then, deciding to cut to the chase, he asked, "What, exactly, do you want to do? Like, what is your end goal...?"
Though Paul had treated her swollen cheeks, Andromeda sniffled ...
2021-12-02 02:30:02 +0000 UTC View PostAs part of Paul's training, Augusta would periodically ask the Saint-Ranked Water Magic Instructor to lend him ten of her students. He would then have them encircle Paul and, every 3-10 seconds, fire low-powered Water Balls at him.
Due to a combination of envy and other negative senti...
2021-12-01 21:29:41 +0000 UTC View PostUnlike when Paul first entered the Academy, he didn't have to introduce himself. Instead, he just showed up to class with Jean, Barbara, Xiangling, and Xinyan following close behind.
Seeing the 'Little Lord' of the Academy arrive with an even larger retinue of attractive attendants, a...
2021-12-01 06:31:51 +0000 UTC View PostThough Jean would typically wake him up around 2 AM, their late arrival the previous night meant Paul could sleep in as long as he wanted. Well, nearly as long as he wanted.
Much like when Paul had initially arrived at the Academy, Erinellis, the Elven Secretary of the Academy's Headm...
2021-12-01 01:26:13 +0000 UTC View PostThough it was taking Paul a bit of time to adapt to his new sleeping arrangements, the days that followed his third round of gacha were filled with fortuitous encounters and occurrences.
The day following their summoning, Paul introduced Ningguang, Ganyu, Barbara, Rosaria, and Diona t...
2021-11-30 22:04:27 +0000 UTC View PostWith Rosaria not being very talkative, it wasn't long before Paul found himself preparing for his final pull. As far as he knew, he was guaranteed to get a 5-Star ally or weapon during his next summon. The only question was, which one?
Seeing through Paul's thoughts, Xinyan asked, "Who do y...
2021-11-30 07:42:16 +0000 UTC View PostAfter an awkward yet comforting hug, Paul would be lying if he said he didn't feel a lot better. When Xinyan attempted to kiss him on the cheek, however, he politely refused, explaining, "I want to test whether or not you really are my lucky goddess. This time around, I'll roll without using my o...
2021-11-30 01:20:06 +0000 UTC View PostBefore completely recovering from his stupor, Paul remarked, "I think I'm going to have another aneurysm..."
Surprised by Paul's words, Ningguang's eyes briefly widened before the smile on her face revealed a hint of amusement.

2021-11-29 20:58:45 +0000 UTC View PostAfter opening the Intersection of Fate, Paul, more so out of curiosity than anything else, turned back to ask Lilia, "What do you see...?"
Confused by Paul's words, Lilia didn't immediately respond. Instead, she just stared at him for several seconds before asking, "Is there something out i...

Raising her head, Flute res...
2021-11-28 23:04:14 +0000 UTC View PostFollowing Lilia, Paul and his group found themselves within a small dojo filled with wooden mannequins and a variety of different swords, shields, and faux armor. The room's dimensions were around 15x15m, with a floor covered in varnished wooden planks and walls constructed from a lower grade ver...
2021-11-28 07:16:02 +0000 UTC View PostHeralded by his father and several of his most trusted bodyguards, Paul, Zhongli, Jean, and Xinqiu found themselves outside a two-story building that looked more like a house than a sword dojo. There was a small annex attached to the side, but there were currently no students to be seen.

As tempted as he was to take the week off, Paul reasoned he wouldn't have muc...
2021-11-27 07:45:05 +0000 UTC View PostAs if her internal clock was more accurate than a genuine timepiece, the lids of Jean's eyes began to flutter at precisely 2 AM. When she opened them, her body briefly tensed as she noticed herself holding onto Paul as he slept precariously close to the edge of his bed.
Fearing she might kn...

Though Kahn had been willing to leave without informing anyone of their departure, Korra felt it would be a little too rude to people they had just met. As a result, the two of them made a short detour to the underground warehouse to inform Akua of their departure.

Her long, singular braid and predominately lavender Maid outfit gave her a charming appearance, but her glowing purple pupils radiated an intensity tha...

Prompted by Paul's suggestion, Xinyan looked past him to who else had joined their merry little band. When she saw Xiangling, her face lit up, but nowhere near as much as when sh...

Seeing the medium-sized chest a group of burly servants had brought to Paul's private quarters, Xiangling couldn't help staring in disbelief. It was far from the largest chest she had seen, but it was filled to the brim with neatl...
