Chapter 120 A calming morning

When I woke up, there was only one other woman with me on the bed. Normally, I am the one who wakes up first, but it looks like I was drained a bit too much yesterday, so I had to recover a bit longer than usual. Beside me lay Aphrodite, not because she was still sleeping but because she was just hugging my body.

From time to time, she also gave my neck some kisses before placing her head back on my chest.

I hugged Aphrodite back before I opened my eyes. When I did, I looked down at her and kissed her lips. "Good morning. Did you get a good night's sleep?" I asked her because I didn't know what time it was at the moment. She smiled before kissing me back. "Yes, I slept well.

I woke up not long ago, and it must be because of all the exercises we did yesterday."

"I don't know what you are talking about," I said as I looked at her with a smile on my face. She giggled and kissed my lips again. Let's go and get up. Maybe there is some food ready for us." When I mentioned food, Aphrodite perked up. She got up faster than I thought she ever did and began to find clothes to put on.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" While she was not serious most of the time, Aphrodite was a big foodie, so she would always be involved when mentioning food. We both walked out of the room simultaneously and walked hand in hand to the living room. When we arrived, we saw Olivia cleaning the place and Freya and Tyche sitting on the couches.

Freya was drinking some tea while reviewing magic theories from the cult she was in charge of, and Tyche was just lazing around, not doing anything. When we entered, Freya looked at us with a smile. "Finally out of bed. Olivia still has some breakfast if you want to eat." Aphrodite immediately ran towards Olivia and asked for food while I went over to Freya.

"Is the progress as expected, or do we need to alter some plans?" Asking about the progress of magic with the cult because she was a goddess of magic would make her the most knowledgeable in this subject. When I arrived before her, I leaned down and kissed her. I also hugged her body, and she let go of the paper she was holding and hugged me back.

"We don't have to do anything with the rate of progress there is now. We are on the right track, just as predicted. There are even some people who have exceeded expectations, and the ones who aren't up to standard are placed in different roles so that they wouldn't hold the rest back."

After looking back at the documents on her lap, she said, "That's good. Keep the plan going, then. I'm going to see if there is still some food I can eat." I kissed her lips again before walking off to Olivia, who was busy dealing with a crying Aphrodite who was holding her. I let Tyche be because it looked like she was fighting against sleep and was losing.

"You're so mean! Could you pleaseee make me breakfast? Please, pretty please?" Aphrodite was begging Olivia for breakfast, but it looked like it gave the opposite reaction she wanted. Olivia looked at her with a disgusting face. "Get your tears off my dress. Go make your food if you want to eat so bad."

While this may seem toxic, it was just Olivia being a bit mad at Aphrodite because of Aphrodite's actions. Aphrodite put a spell on Olivia that made her receive three times more pleasure than normal, and because of that, she could spend less time with me because she passed out so fast. Pulling Aphrodite from her, I hugged my maid.

"Good morning, my maid. Where is my breakfast? " I shook my head right next to hers, whispering in her ear. That was one of her weak points, and I knew that she liked it when I did it. I normally only do it when we do some spicy activity, but it also works well if I want to tease her a bit.

"I... I will prepare it right now." Her cheeks were red, and she ran toward the kitchen, where she would make my breakfast. I looked back at Aphrodite, and she stood there in place, arms crossed, pouting.

"That's unfair. Why wouldn't she make some for me?"

"Next time, maybe don't put her under a spell." That answer came from the couch, and Freya looked at Aphrodite with a mocking smile. While both of them had different strengths, it is also true that both of them were goddesses of beauty, so they were rivals on that ground.

Now, because beauty is one of her main divinities, Aphrodite was more proficient in it, and they always butted heads because of it.

"What did you say, you bitch? Ugh, your face irritates me." She said the first part while looking at Freya but looked away, annoyed when that second part came out of her mouth.

"What? Does this beautiful face irritate you? Maybe you should look in a mirror to see what an irritating face looks like." Freya didn't let that slide and clapped back at Aphrodite. Both were looking at each other with displeasure.

"The next person yelling isn't getting food for three days." Olivia came out of the kitchen with an angry expression. She looked at the two women with an angry stare, and the two women cowered under it.

"I will be silent." x2

Both responded at the same time. While they hated each other, it didn't even come close to their love for the food Olivia made. Three days without food, while easily done, was the same as torture for them.

Freya let her eyes drop down, saw her documents, picked them up, and pretended to be busy while Aphrodite sat at the table and played with her utensils while waiting on the food. She was whistling and wouldn't dare look in the direction where Olivia was standing.

I watched this scenario play out and let out a happy sigh. "What a good way to start the day!"
