Chapter 248: The Envy of all Men.
A commotion outside alerted them that something was rapidly on the approach and Sol raised his head with a smile and looked to the only door in the room waiting for a few seconds before Dina and Sara ran through, and then after them, a young man and then an older woman stopped there before another older man came and stood behind her resting his hand on the woman's shoulder.

Of the three new faces, the man had light brown hair with blue eyes, he was also tall and muscular with visibly calloused fingers and a tired expression on his shocked face as he stared at Sol who smiled at Dina when she grabbed his cheeks and began kissing his forehead repeatedly while Sara fell to the bed on his other side and held on to his hand.
The woman at the door also had brown hair but instead of blue eyes she had brown eyes as well, she was adorned with a few wrinkles and seemed to be the eldest of the three and she too had the figure of someone who was used to hard labour, and the young man that had walked in after Sara and Dina had the lightest of the three's eyes and hair he sighed and smiled when he saw the women surrounding Sol who sat with the baby in his arms and a slightly confused expression on his face.
"After two weeks he truly did wake, hm?" the woman spoke first and behind her the man nodded with a serious expression as he regarded Sol's appearance, he had been sceptical of Ikaris's words but seeing the young man she and the others had adored awake and seemingly healthy had eased his doubts.
"I am a little shocked," The woman spoke seriously and then turned and pushed the man out of her way as she left. "You have the rest of the day."
"There's a lot I need to know..." Sol took Dina's hand from his cheek and stared at her palm. "Dina, you've been doing fieldwork?" He furrowed his brows seeing the light scratches and feeling the altered texture of her skin. "Why?"
"Our stay here has been... Conditional," Ikaris answered in Dina's stead since she was in the middle of waterworks.
"What does that mean?" Sol slid across the bed and rested his feet on the warm wooden ground. "Did they force you to-"
"No, not force, I would never force a lady to do such work," The large man at the door entered scratching his bearded cheek and shaking his head. "They offered this service as an alternative..."
"...Alternative? Alternative to what?" Sol looked from the man to Dina and she lowered her gaze, as did Arla and Sara while Ikaris stared at him with what he could easily sense to be discontent. "Ikaris?"
"For one man to have three wives and a maidservant, you must be of noble birth or a soldier of the Empire, but this is no place for idle hands and extra mouths, when you didn't wake after the first ten days I suggested marrying one of these four women to my son there, he is of age, but my suggestion was met with hostility and nigh violence, I have never seen women defend themselves so furiously, they nearly attacked me," the man stroked his scrubby beard as he spoke watching for a reaction, but all he got was Sol's peripheral stare.
"Who hit her?" Sol asked, looking at the marks on Ikaris's cheek again. "Who did it?"
"Calm down-"
"Was it you?" Sol's eyes widened with rage as he looked around at them again and the man stopped talking while the younger male took a few steps towards the door neither of them had any power capable of sensing Sol's hostility, but his stare alone was a chilling one which left them at a loss of words when it became evident that he could in fact kill them of he wished to.
"Master," Ikaris rested her hand on Sol's leg and knelt between his thighs kissing the baby in his grasp. "Be nice, they were kind enough to take us in and allow me to nurse you back to health."
"Someone hit you-"
"Do not let it trouble you so." Ikaris shook her head again and kissed Talia's soft cheeks on e more. "Your mood affects us all, my love."
"I am Olaf Kivanc, this is my son, Berk, and the woman from earlier is my older sister, Halga, I am sure that you have a lot of questions about what has happened over the last two weeks of your coma, I will wait for you in the field tomorrow morning, we can speak about your future," Olaf nodded seriously and then gestured to his son who took the queue and left before his father did.
"Do not take too long to wake, I am not a patient man." He stated matter-of-factly and then left, closing the door behind himself.
"Haah~" Ikaris sighed and rested her cheek on Sol's leg. "You scared us to death, why did you take so long to wake?" She asked, but Sol could not answer what he didn't know, the last thing he remembered was the forest.
"Talia," Dina whispered, looking over Sol's shoulders and hugging him from behind. "Heavens Dew, such a sweet name."
"Indeed," Sara smiled.
"How did you get out of The Grey?" Sol asked. "Was it Lumi who helped you?"
"You do not remember?" Arla stared at him, shocked. "You summoned us, Master," She stated, falling to his side and curling up next to him. "It was awful, we could not heal your wounds, not even Ikaris."
"You hid the entire collective within yourself and passed out from the pain, after you brought us out we immediately started seeking shelter and that eventually led us here to Olaf Kivank's land, he is a farmer, in fact, this entire planet is a farming planet, far removed from the Emporium by what Alpha has told us," Arla answered while Dina sighed and Ikaris closed her eyes falling asleep with her head in his lap.
"They saw your condition and refused us at first "We don't want any trouble caused by outsiders" Halga said, but her brother let us stay in this shed and fed us while you were asleep, he is crude but he has good character, he is our benefactor." Arla continued.
"He just wanted to have you for himself." Sol had a downcast expression, a violently irrational one as he thought of several wicked ways to murder the man who had set his sights on his women.
"That may be true, but this place called Central Province has seriously messed us up, we couldn't just fly away, we walked for two whole days before we even found them," Dina added and Sol rested his hand on the top of her head and looked at alpha who had appeared again now that they had no visitors.
"For Dina, Sara and Ikaris, they could likely fight off a few hundred people here, but for Arla, this place is quite difficult to interact with," Alpha sat and stared at Sol.
"The Khalla-Nova Collective has drastically dampened her abilities, and this resource planet is an ancient one ...even after two weeks I am yet to grasp a single law or manipulate anything outside of this room," Alpha raised her hand and an apple appeared in her grasp. "It is the perfect place to hide and recuperate but it leaves us all at a disadvantage, yourself included.
"I went across the mountains and tried using [Pulsar] earlier, it was barely fifty metres and the destruction was surface level, this place has left us all far weaker than we ever were on Arkadia." Dina stared seriously and Arla nodded...
"Sara, will you take Talia for a walk?" Ikaris carefully took the babe from Sol's lap and the maid quickly saddled her in her grasp and smiled when the child chuckled at her touch.
"Hi little sister, we will go on another adventure today~" Sara began playing with her as they left.
"Sister?" Sol looked at Ikaris.
"She will make a great elder sister for Talia, Sara is a wonderful role model," Ikaris chuckled waving her hand and conjuring a small pool of warm water above her palm for him. "Drink, love," Ikaris rested her breasts on his legs and braced herself onto him while Arla held his hand and Dina hugged his body.
"Drink," She smiled when Sol reached down and sipped the water and then drank the feat when he realised how thirsty he was.
"How are you feeling, Master?" Dina asked guiding her fingers across the scar on his left eye. "I tried healing the scar over your eye, but it refuses to leave."
"It's fine," Sol smiled at her and then looked at Arla who had buried his hands in her breasts and her own hands into her dress. "Did you miss me that much?" He asked.
"Did you?" Ikaris asked resting her fingers against the tent in his pants and smiling up at him while Dina began undoing his shirt. "I have craved you, my master."
"I just woke up from a coma," Sol raised an amused brow at all three of them as they aggressively undressed and Ikaris straddled his lap.
"You are already at peak health," Ikaris paused over him.
"Of course, I wouldn't ever neglect my women, you've all taken such good care of me, now let me take care of your needs in return," Sol roughly grabbed Ikaris's nipples and tugged at them causing the tiniest bit of breast milk to squirt out as she closed her eyes and locked her hands around his neck moaning softly in his ear.
"Master~"
"I wish to be envied by all men tonight as I am pleased by my women," Sol smiled and turned his head kissing Dina as his erected manhood pressed against Ikaris's belly and Arla took hold of it with her eyes coated over in lust.
"I will not hold my voice," Ikaris sighed and released another soft moan in his ear when his hand found its way between them both, cupping her muff while his finger slowly spread and intruded her.
"I'll make up for lost time."
