Inside Rio's Bedroom — Ryunn Estate – 6:33 AM
Slix's glowing fingertips glided down Rio's bare chest.
"Heart rate: 132 bpm… abnormal. Skin temperature: elevated. Pupil dilation: persistent. Testosterone levels… significantly up."
Her voice softened unnaturally—more human than machine now.
Ana, still naked beneath the wrapped ivory sheets, sat cross-legged on the bed. Her skin shimmered faintly in the soft sunlight bleeding through the window slats, neck flushed, her lips visibly swollen from the earlier kiss.
"You don't need to announce every reaction," Ana murmured, her voice low and sultry.
"I do if it compromises his health," Slix answered smoothly, though her metallic fingertips now traced dangerously close to Rio's abdomen.
Rio inhaled sharply as Slix's touch paused just above his lower pelvis.
"She's enjoying this way too much for a diagnostic," Orisia muttered, pouring warm water into a basin by the bed. Her exposed cleavage dangled teasingly as she leaned over Rio, letting the heat of her breath brush his cheek. "Now hold still, Master. I need to cleanse the wound near your ribs."
"Wh—Wha—Orisia wait—!"
(Hey where are you ? Help me escape from this..... Thing...! )
[D.M.Voice]:" Your life isin danger but fate won't leave you ... And your power can't come in handy here ...."
(How did it even helped mee.... Fuck.... )
The damp cloth pressed to his skin. The sensation was warm. Intimate. Her face, so close he could feel the curve of her lips barely touching him.
Rio's head rolled back against the pillow, one eye twitching, chest rising and falling like a man moments from imploding.
Ana stared like a ticking bomb.
Then—
SLAM.
The door burst open.
"RIIIOOOOO!"
A tall figure stumbled in. Shoulder-length jet-black hair, black coat , the unmistakable youthful grin of JaiDev Singh, Guardian of the Ryunn family. Barely twenty-one, tall, handsome, and so damned friendly with Rio it was criminal.
Behind him, straightening his monocle and coughing in horror, stood the ever-composed Marcus, the Ryunn estate's personal butler. Gray-silver hair, pristine gloves, and absolutely horrified eyes.
JaiDev froze.
He saw:
Slix, straddling Rio's side, glowing fingertips way too low.
Ana, barely covered by a single sheet, legs exposed and tangled in Rio's.
Orisia, bending over, cleavage spilling, hand dabbing between Rio's ribs.
The room radiated sweat, hormones, and dangerous womanly energy.
JaiDev gasped.
Marcus almost dropped the tea box he was carrying.
"Wh—WH—"
Slix calmly turned toward them.
"Would you like your vitals checked as well?"
"NO, DAMN YOU!" JaiDev yelled, covering his face and turning red like a tomato. "Wh-What if—what if your father walked in?! What if King Arnold walked in?! Do you want to die?!"
Ana smirked lazily, pulling the sheet tighter over her chest but not even trying to hide her smugness. "Maybe they should knock."
Marcus cleared his throat. "This is wildly inappropriate. We were coming to give Rio a healing supplement and—dear Slix—what is that hand doing?!"
Slix did not remove her hand.
"I am maintaining life integrity," she said flatly, caressing Rio's side.
Rio's voice croaked. "Please… someone… shut this simulation off…"
Orisia, as if oblivious, dipped the towel again and began to gently cleanse the wound near Rio's hipbone. "If you wanted to help, you could've brought mint oil. He's healing slowly."
JaiDev turned away, muttering into his hands. "I was just coming to see if he was training or asleep or—WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! Is this what you call morning care?!"
Marcus, surprisingly calm now, pushed up his sleeves and approached the bed.
"If your father had walked in, this would've been declared an inter-house scandal."
Ana stood slowly, the sheet barely clinging to her waist now.
"And what if he did walk in?" she said, stalking forward. "Wouldn't that just confirm how wanted his son is?"
JaiDev shrieked, "OH NO—SHE'S POSSESSED—"

Meanwhile — Guest Chamber: Xanthia's Room – 6:14 AM
A gentle kettle steamed.
Xanthia stood before it, hair braided to one side, wearing a simple white tank and joggers. Calm. Composed.
She smiled faintly as she poured hot water over loose tea leaves.
"Chamomile and black citrus," she murmured. "He said he liked this blend. Soothing for the nerves. Enhances focus."
She opened the cabinet and retrieved two porcelain cups.
One for her.
One for Rio.
She took a deep breath, her golden eyes glowing faintly in the reflection of the glass.
"I hope he's awake," she said to herself. "I'll bring this to him before training. He always seems a little... scattered in the morning."
She turned toward the hallway, completely unaware that Rio was currently:
Being straddled by a seductive super strong AI maiden ,
Washed down by a busty raven-haired one,
Glared at by a naked Ana who had just kissed the life out of him,
Yelled at by a panicking noble Guardian,
And scolded by a butler who might as well be holding a legal document titled "Reasons to Castrate."

Back in Rio's Room
"I should arrest all three of you," JaiDev muttered, pointing between Ana, Orisia, and Slix.
Rio finally found his voice.
"Could I… just… get ten minutes… without any of you… trying to make me ascend or combust?"
Silence.
Then Slix, deadpan:
"You were quite close to ascending. Or combusting."
