Witches: Starting as a Lord Marrying a Wife

That evening, David brought Cynthia back to the castle.

Since she was now officially one of his wives, she naturally needed to live in the castle. This time, Cynthia did not refuse. The castle held her light, her sisters, and nothing she feared.

David arranged for Cynthia to stay in another tower room on the third floor. The room faced directly toward the Crystal Song Forest, allowing her to embrace nature simply by opening the window.

Thus, life resumed its rhythm for David.

Morning, noon, and night, he scheduled dual cultivation sessions with his wives. After each session, he would use the resulting "Sage Time" to practice meditation techniques. Following meditation, he focused on honing his ice energy and beast transformation abilities. The rest of his time was devoted to knightly training. While the power of a sorcerer was formidable, his path to greater strength still relied heavily on his knightly prowess.

During the midday session, David prioritized Cynthia, both to gain more experience for his beast transformation ability and to care for her as his newest wife.

It was Cynthia's first time in a private room, and her nervousness was evident.

David entered the room and began comforting the little fox girl, knowing that creating a sense of security was most important. He was in no rush.

When the atmosphere felt just right, he walked over to close the curtains.

"Could… could you leave them open? I'm afraid of the dark," Cynthia said nervously.

"Of course." David's voice was soft as he returned to her side.

Cynthia closed her eyes shyly, responding to him in her clumsy way.

[You have completed a cultivation session. Beast Transformation Talent +21.]

The experience gain from a single session was considerable.

The two exchanged a smile before transitioning into their meditation.

At first, Cynthia had doubted Leah's words, finding it hard to believe that simply being with the lord could help her enter a meditative state. It sounded incomprehensible. Yet, the reality was undeniable.

Closing her eyes, she easily emptied her mind.

Following the methods outlined in the basic meditation technique, she successfully entered a meditative state, drawing upon the ambient energy to strengthen her spiritual power.

Seeing Cynthia fully immersed in meditation, David followed suit.

Through his persistent practice of the basic meditation technique, his spiritual power, which had just recently broken into the third tier, began stabilizing and gradually improving.

Before long, Cynthia opened her eyes. As a witch, she was able to complete her meditation in a short amount of time.

Just as David had predicted, Cynthia sensed a connection to life energy. The beast transformation ability itself was aligned with life's elemental forces.

After her meditation, Cynthia found her control over her beast transformation ability significantly improved.

"Want to test your beast transformation ability?" David asked with a smile.

Cynthia didn't notice the flicker of heat in his gaze as she activated her ability.

In moments, a fox-eared beast girl appeared in the room, her fluffy tail swaying gently behind her.

David immediately noticed that Cynthia's fox traits had become more pronounced. Fine fox fur now adorned parts of her body. However, this transformation was controllable.

With a focused effort, Cynthia manipulated her spiritual power, making the fox fur disappear. She then retracted her fox ears, leaving only her soft, bushy tail.

Though it seemed like a simple adjustment, this reflected Cynthia's mastery over her ability and her newfound command of life energy.

"My lord, I feel stronger," Cynthia said happily.

Then, she turned around and caught David staring intently at her tail, his unabashed interest evident on his face.

Her cheeks flushed bright red. Quickly, she tucked her tail away and adjusted her short skirt, which she had worn for easier transformation.

"Why hide it? I actually like it," David teased with a laugh.

"It's… it's not ready yet," Cynthia stammered, her voice filled with panic.

"Not yet?" David's eyes lit up with amusement.

Realizing what she had said, Cynthia quickly pushed him toward the door. "Leave! I need to change!"

When the two joined the others in the garden, Leah, Amy, and Reina were already enjoying their tea. Having just finished their training, the three women were chatting over snacks.

Seeing them approach, Amy ran over to greet them cheerfully.

David left the women to their time together and began practicing the Frostwolf Breathing Technique.

Since mastering his ice-based combat energy, his strength had reached the peak of the fourth tier. Now, his focus was on breaking through to the fifth tier. To achieve this, he would soon need to venture deeper into the Frostwolf Forest to hunt magical beasts.

Only by rapidly condensing his combat energy could he trigger the qualitative change necessary to transition from gaseous to liquid combat energy.

With his newly acquired beast transformation ability and his command over the language of beasts, he was ready to delve further into the Frostwolf Forest.

Before long, Leah, Amy, Reina, and Cynthia also began their training.

Currently, both Leah and Reina's knightly prowess had advanced significantly, aided by David's support, system feedback, and special potions. They were close to reaching the third tier. David was confident that with a bit more effort, both women would soon break through.

However, when it came to spiritual power, Reina clearly outshone Leah. This advantage stemmed from her Snow Spirit Soul, which allowed her to strengthen her spiritual power through the Snow Spirit Breathing Technique.

Leah, while capable of meditating, found her results less effective and chose to focus primarily on her knightly training. She only practiced meditation during her Sage Time sessions.

The one who benefited the most from the basic meditation technique was undoubtedly Amy, a natural-born ice witch. Her innate advanced ice element talent, combined with her simple and focused personality, gave her a significant advantage in meditation.

And now, Cynthia joined the ranks.

As a witch with an innate connection to magical power, her talent on the path of sorcery was unrivaled.
