After a bit more talking with the Volkun, we eventually decided to end it as we both retired for the night; I wasn't tired, but he was mentally exhausted, probably from all the stuff that's been going on around his daughter. When I returned to my room, I saw Lazuli lying in bed, resting, prompting me to silently close the door as I continued down the hallway, passing Vanye, Vanimo, and Talis's room, though, unlike Lazuli, the latter two were making love, and the former was maintaining her sword.
Coming to a halt, I knocked on Vanye's door.
"Come in." Said Vanye lightly as she raised her head and glanced at the door, which opened, only for Alexander's head to peek through.
"Yo, what's up, Vanye? What are you still doing awake? It's a few hours past midnight." Asked Alexander curiously with a faint smile as he entered the room while closing the door behind him, causing Vanye to subtly furrow her brow.
"Couldn't sleep." Replied Vanye lightly as she glanced at Alexander before shifting her gaze to her sword while continuing to polish it.
"Was it because Vanimo and Talis were going to town in the room beside you?" "I had no clue; these rooms seem soundproof." Remarked Alexander and Vanye, respectively, as the former curiously raised an eyebrow while the latter slightly widened her eyes before shaking her head.
I nodded in agreement, since despite knowing how loud Talis tended to be, I couldn't hear even a peep from her, nor Vanimo, though that caused me to faintly smirk as I looked at Vanye, who was polishing her sword.
Sitting beside her on the edge of the bed, she gave me a look while I gestured to her sword, prompting her to continue doing what she was doing as I silently watched her.
"Do you not maintain your swords, Alex?" "Eh, no, do I need to?" Asked Vanye and Alexander, respectively, as the former curiously glanced at the latter, who tilted his head in confusion.
"No. But your swords are your lifelines in battle; show them love and care, and they shall do the same for you." Stated Vanye firmly with a shake of her head as she gently caressed her blade while Alexander faintly nodded.
"Makes sense." Muttered Alexander lightly as he glanced at Vanye before outstretching his hands and summoning Trina and Zartha from his body.
Glancing between my two swords, I brought them closer and gave them each a kiss.
"I don't say it often, but I really love and appreciate you two, even though you love to mock me." Said Alexander softly as he glanced at Trina and Zartha while infusing his emotions into them, causing their purple markings to glow brightly, illuminating the entire room and taking Vanye by surprise.
'Muu, d-don't say things like that, Master! I-It's embarrassing! T-Though I-I love you too!' Said Trina with a deep blush as she hid her face in her arms while shaking from embarrassment.
'Hmph, you're a good Master.' Said Zartha coldly with an equally deep blush as she averted her gaze while Alexander smiled.
Once the bright glowing receded, I gave them each another kiss and absorbed them back into my body before giving Vanye, who stared at me dumbfounded, a thumbs up.
"I told you before; my swords are alive." Said Alexander with a faint smirk as he looked at Vanye, who slowly nodded before shaking her head.
"Y-Yeah, you did say that." Muttered Vanye softly as she wiped her sword clean before slowly sheathing it while tossing her rag onto the table.
Chuckling, I watched Vanye store her sword beside her bed before returning to sit beside me, prompting me to make my move as I wrapped an arm around her lithe waist before pushing her onto her back while I mounted her.
"Heh, you nervous?" Asked Alexander with a faint smirk as he looked down at Vanye, who sported an ever-so-faint blush.
Just as she opened her mouth, I sealed it with my own, taking her lips into a passionate kiss while I held her arms down above her head; at first, she squirmed underneath me, but after a few seconds, she calmed down. Releasing her arms, I guided them to my neck, prompting her to wrap them around while gently lifting her shirt, revealing her toned stomach, which I firmly grasped.
However, Vanye was a quick learner and wrapped her legs around my waist, causing me to inwardly smirk as I slowly raised my hands, further lifting her shirt until I reached her chest, where I gently unhooked her bra, though I didn't immediately touch her breasts, I gave her a few moments to get comfortable before digging in.
Resting my hands atop her modest-sized breasts, I gently rubbed them before softly pinching her nipples, causing her to moan into my mouth while her cheeks were a crimson red. As I separated from our kiss, causing her to open her eyes while gasping for breath, she promptly closed them shut when our gaze crossed paths; chuckling at how cute she was when embarrassed, I leaned forward and licked her ear, earning me more moans from her.
As I continued to tease her breasts and ear, I don't know whether it was on purpose or just instinctive movements, but she was rubbing her crotch against my own, which really got me aroused, though I didn't try to push Vanye too much. She wanted things to go slow, so I would take them slow.
"~Ahhh~ A-Alex! ~Ahhh~ A-Alex!" Said Vanye softly between her moans as she rolled her head back while arching her back, only for her body to tremble.
Once her orgasm came to an end, she lifelessly slumped onto the bed while I eased up before lying behind her; of course, I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her into my embrace. I had also removed my shirt, giving the two of us a lot of skin-to-skin contact, which was quite intimate.
"Your moans are very beautiful, Vanye." Said Alexander softly with a faint smile as he whispered into Vanye's ear, planting kisses on her nape.
"D-Don't remind me. I-It was embarrassing; I-I was so defenseless." Muttered Vanye with a crimson blush as she refused to look at Alexander, who chuckled in amusement while nodding in agreement.
"It's okay; you're not the only one. I've felt completely defenseless plenty of times when sleeping with my lovers." Stated Alexander with a wry expression as he looked at Vanye, who weakly nodded before descending into silence.
"Anyway, I think it's time for you to get some sleep, Vanye." Said Alexander lightly as he turned around, turning the lamp off, causing the room to be enveloped in darkness.
"Goodnight, Vanye." Muttered Alexander softly as he gently blew Vanye's ear, causing her to shiver while nodding.
"G-Goodnight, Alex." Said Vanye softly as she snuggled further into his embrace, causing Alexander to smile while the two drifted off to sleep.

Hearing someone knock on the door, I opened my eyes, looking at Vanye, who was also stirred awake by the incessant knocking.
"I got the door." Said Alexander lightly as he gently kissed Vanye before sitting upright, causing her to nod while still drowsy.
Standing up, I approached the door and opened it, where I found Vanimo, whose eyes widened when he saw me.
"E-Eh, A-Alex!?" Exclaimed Vanimo in shock as he looked at Alexander, who had no shirt, only for him to glance at the bed, where a shirtless and braless Vanye was lying.
"Alex, you and Vanye?" Asked Vanimo softly in disbelief as he looked at Alexander, while Vanye's eyes widened when she saw him.
"V-Vanimo!? Exclaimed Vanye with wide eyes as she looked at Vanimo before quickly using the blanket to cover her chest.
"I knew you could do it, Alex!" Stated Vanimo with a large smile as he hugged Alexander, who chuckled in amusement while patting his back
"Ah, well, we didn't go all the way, you know, your sister just wants to take things slow." Said Alexander with a faint smile as he looked at Vanimo, who dismissively waved his hand.
"Ah, who cares? Vanye is pretty much your woman already; it's only a matter of time before it's official." Declared Vanimo with a happy smile as he jumped in place while looking at Alexander, who faintly nodded, only for his heart to rapidly beat.
Furrowing my brows, I turned around, only to nervously gulp when I saw Vanye unsheathing her sword before furiously glaring at the two of us.
"S-Sorry, Vanimo b-but she won't kill you." Said Alexander apologetically as he glanced at Vanimo before tossing him at Vanye while dashing down the hallway.
"V-Vanye, w-wait, I-I can explain! D-Damn you, Alex!" Said Vanimo loudly as he attempted to calm Vanye, to no avail, while Alexander continued to run for his life.
'I'm sorry, Vanimo, but your sacrifice saved my life; I shall remember this.' Thought Alexander with a grateful expression as he closed his eyes while inwardly praying for Vanimo's safety.
"Now, just to avoid Vanye for the rest of the day, which should hopefully be easy as I will be helping His Majesty." Muttered Alexander lightly as he began to slow down, walking through the hallway while getting weird looks since he was half-naked.
