Chapter 569: Two Souls, One Heart ( 569 )
The room was filled with soft gasps, quiet moans, and the gentle creaking of the wood beneath tangled bodies. The bed moved rhythmically under their weight, carrying their shared warmth.
Then, with one final shuddering breath, Marcellus released himself deep inside her.
She trembled beneath him, her breath catching, her body tensing beautifully. Her fingers clutched the sheets, her chest rising and falling softly in quiet pleasure.
And thenâ
The door suddenly opened.
Both of them immediately turned toward the sound, hearts pounding in shock.
Standing thereâframed by the soft, golden morning sunlight, dressed neatly in an identical maid uniformâwas⊠Lithia.
The real Lithia.
She leaned casually against the doorway, her arms crossed, wearing an innocent yet knowing smile.
âMaster Marcellus~,â she called softly, tilting her head playfully.
Marcellus froze in place, confusion quickly overtaking him. His eyes darted between the girl beneath him and the one standing at the door.
âL-LithiaâŠ?â he stammered.
Lithia giggled quietly, teasingly.
âWhat are you doing~?â
Beneath Marcellus, Harnyâs face immediately turned bright red. She whimpered softly in embarrassment, quickly covering her eyes and cheeks with her arm.
âMom~,â Lithia continued gently, with a teasing tone.
Harny whimpered again, her breath shallow and shy, her voice weak and panting. Her body trembled slightly under Marcellusâs weight, overwhelmed by embarrassment but still smiling faintly behind her arm.
Marcellus, completely stunned and speechless, slowly lifted himself up, finally realizing the truth about who was beneath him.
The woman lying there, panting softly with red cheeks, her face hidden behind her armâwasnât Lithia. It was Harny.
Lithia just smiled wider at his realization, her eyes shining with both teasing amusement and warm affection.
Still stunned, Marcellus sat frozen on the bed, the warmth of Harnyâs body still beneath him, her soft breaths trembling against his skin.
His heart was pounding loudly in his chest.
He opened his mouth to say somethingâany words at allâbut nothing came out.
Then Lithia stepped forward.
She moved gracefully, her expression gentle but clearly amused by the chaos she had just witnessed. She stopped at the edge of the bed, her eyes shining as she looked at him.
âNow, now⊠Master MarcellusâŠâ she said sweetly.
âYouâve done it now,â she added, leaning down slightly, her smile growing wider.
âTake responsibility, okay?â
âAh⊠ahâŠâ Marcellus stammered, his eyes darting between the two womenâone beneath him, still blushing and covering her face, and the other standing proudly with her arms crossed, smiling with that same charming look.
Lithia leaned closer and whispered teasingly near his ear, âBesides⊠arenât you lucky?â
She tilted her head, her lips just brushing his cheek.
âYou now have two Lithias~,â she whispered.
Marcellus stiffened, his face turning even redder.
Without hesitation, Lithia climbed onto the bed, wrapping her arms around his shoulders from behind. Her chin rested gently on his shoulder.
âJust take care of us, alright?â she whispered softly. âBe gentle and fair.â
âMmâŠ?â she added playfully, her breath warm against his ear.
Harny, still lying under the sheets, peeked out from beneath her arm. Her eyes met her daughterâs. A mixture of gratitude, embarrassment, and deep love passed between them.
Marcellus could only nod, his heart pounding, his mind struggling to understand what was happeningâbut part of him was already accepting the truth.
He had both of them now.
Two women. One heart.
Same face.
Different souls.
Lithia leaned in from behind, her arms still lightly wrapped around Marcellus. Her lips brushed his cheek first, then she slowly tilted his head toward her.
Before he could overthink it, she kissed him.
Soft. Warm. Deep.
It wasnât just affection â it felt like possession.
Her fingers curled into his hair as her lips stayed on his, slow and deliberate. When she finally pulled away, her eyes shone with a deeper glow, as if she had already decided this outcome long ago.
âThank youâŠâ she whispered, smiling softly.
Then she looked down at Harny, who was still beneath Marcellus, flushed and quiet. Her gaze was turned to the side, filled with a mix of shame and happiness.
âNowâŠâ Lithia said with a playful hum, âmy mom is going to follow us back to the Armand Region⊠right?â
She tilted her head, her voice sweet but with a subtle hint of command. Her grip around Marcellusâs shoulders tightened just a little.
âPlease?â she askedâthough it sounded more like a gentle order than a request.
âUmmâŠ,â Marcellus stammered, still overwhelmed by the whirlwind of feelings, warmth, and confusion.
Lithiaâs smile curved into a playful look.
âOh?â she said, blinking innocently. âYouâre going to leave her here?â
Her tone dropped into teasing whisper.
âAfter tasting her?â
She leaned closer to his ear again.
âOh~ how cruelâŠâ
Harny whimpered softly at her words, her hand moving up to hide her face again. Her body tensed beneath the blanket.
Marcellus looked back and forth between them â one woman flushed beneath him, the other clinging to him with mischief and love.
In that moment, he knew there was no going back.
âI⊠I donâtâŠâ Marcellus muttered quietly, looking down at Harny, who was still quietly catching her breath beneath the blanket.
He slowly turned toward Lithia, whose arms were still wrapped around his shoulders from behind.
âI donât mind,â he said softly, a gentle smile forming on his lips.
But even as he smiled, a shadow of guilt crossed his eyes.
âIâm⊠sorry,â he added quietly. âI thought she wasâŠâ
âMe?â Lithia asked, raising an eyebrow.
She leaned around him, brushing her cheek against his as she looked into his face. Then her lips curved into a knowing smile.
âDonât worry about it, Master,â she said softly. âYou should feel lucky, you have both of us now.â
Her fingers lightly tapped his chest, as if scolding him gently.
âItâs better than some random woman outside,â she added, her tone playful but with a hint of sincerity. âAt least this way⊠I know her.â
Marcellus glanced again at Harny, who still refused to meet his gaze, her cheeks flushed, her arm stubbornly covering her eyes.
Lithia pressed closer and whispered into his ear.
âBut rememberâ!â she said sharply but still with a smile. âNo more women, okay?â
Marcellus blinked.
âHuh?â
Lithia gave him a teasing glare. âI donât want you building a harem like Young Master Javier.â
âWhatâ? Iâm notâ!â he started to protest.
Lithia pinched his cheek. âI mean it! Youâve got me, and now⊠youâve got my mom. Thatâs enough!â
Marcellus winced. âOw, ow! Okay, okay!â
She let go with a satisfied little humph and hugged him again from behind.
âBesides,â she murmured, resting her chin on his shoulder again, âyouâre mine. I donât share easily.â
She looked down at Harny, whose face was now buried completely in the pillow.
âBut for Mom⊠Iâll make an exception.â
Harny let out a muffled groan of embarrassment.
Marcellus could only sigh.
He wasnât sure if heâd just been blessedâor sentenced.
But one thing he knew⊠he was lucky to have two Lithias.
