"I’m the best wife." She said.

I spent the next few hours taking care of all my wives before we went to sleep.

I woke the next morning and again Lilly was the only one in the room with me. I pulled her to me and held her.

"Does this city have any kind of entertainment?" I asked.

"There’s the arena." She answered.

"What’s there?" I asked.

"People can sign up to fight goblins, orcs, ogres, trolls, and even slaves. Depending on what you fight and how long you last you could win different amounts of coin. But you could also lose your life if you aren’t careful." She said.

"And people can go watch these fights?" I asked.

"Yes." She replied.

"Anything else in this city?" I asked.

"The race tracks. You can bet on horse races." She said.

"That sounds like fun. Do you want to go watch the races?" I asked.

"Sure." She said.

"But first there’s something else I need to do." I said.

"What’s that?" Lilly asked.

Without answering I rolled onto her and pressed my lips against hers.

An hour later Lilly and I walked out of the attic and went downstairs. All of the older children were at school already.

"We’re going to the races. Who wants to go?" I asked.

Sisters Sylvie and Alice stayed with the two young children and the rest of us went to the race track.

We entered the lobby of the race track and it was filled with people. I read the board above the counter and looked at the pricing.

"We can sit high up in the stands for free. Five bronze each for closer seats. Fifty bronze each for front row seats. Twenty silver for a low tier private climate controlled room. One gold for a high tiered climate controlled room with catered food and drinks." I said as I read it out loud.

We approached the counter and the woman behind it looked up.

"Will you be betting on any of the races?" She asked.

I looked at the girls around me for a few seconds.

"What’s the minimum and maximum bet? I asked.

"Five bronze minimum one gold maximum." She said.

"Everyone pick a race and a horse to bet on. Everyone gets ten bronze to bet with." I said as I passed out the coin to everyone.

The girls began placing bets and received their bet slips. I bet Five bronze on two random horses in separate races. Then I paid one gold for a private catered room. We were led to a private room by an employee.

"The windows are one way. You can see out but nobody can see in. Ring this bell on the wall and someone will bring more food and drinks." He said before leaving.

I closed the door and locked it before removing my helmet.

"Let’s have some fun ladies." I said.

We spent the morning eating and watching the races. The girls laughed and had a great time. By midday all the races we bet on were over most of us lost our coin but Lilly and Bubbles won. Bubbles bet Five bronze on a horse that had ten to one odds and won fifty bronze. Lilly bet on a horse that had eight to one odds and won fourty bronze. Both of them tried to pay me back but I refused it. I put my helmet back on and we left the track. And went back home for lunch. Once at the house I sat at the table and pulled Lilly onto my lap.

"I want to go to the forest tomorrow." I said.

Lilly snapped her head towards me.

"What? I thought you were going to wait until Nyx’s turn before going to the forest?" Lilly asked.

"Oh I will go during her turn too. I’ll probably go during everyone’s turn. I need to do some xp farming so I can level up and my wives need to level up too. The only person leveling up right now is Lucy who has been healing the kids when they scrape their knees or something." I said.

"Everyone’s turn?" Sister Abby asked.

"Yes. If you ladies want me to keep spoiling you like I have been I need to hunt orcs as often as I can." I said.

"Sounds fun. I’m ready." Sarah said.

"Me too." Said Lyra.

"It’s about time." Amber added.

"How long will we be gone?" Lilly asked.

"Probably until the last day of your turn. Then we will rest for the night and go back out with Nyx." I said.

After we ate Lunch Sarah looked at Lilly sitting on my lap and grinned.

"Lilly, every time Erik sits down for the rest of the day you must sit on his lap." Sarah said.

Her collar glowed in acknowledgement.

"You’re having to much fun with this." Lilly muttered.

"Oh yeah." Sarah said as she walked away.

I went and sat on on the sofa in the day room. As soon as I sat down Lilly sat on my lap. She turned sideways and put an arm around my neck and leaned into me.

"Are we really going to the forest tomorrow? she asked.

"Yes. I need more coin to accomplish my goals. Buying the dwarves put a big dent in my funds." I said.

"You’ll protect me out there right?" She asked.

"Of course I will. The girls won’t let anything happen to you either." I said.

"What will I wear?" She asked.

"You can wear your dresses, that’s what Lucy wears out there." I said.

"Really?" She asked.

"Yeah." I said.

"Okay". She mumbled.

I spent the rest of the day hanging around the house with Lilly. The children returned from school and some of the sisters took the older kids to the training grounds and then to the bathhouse before returning in time for dinner. After dinner I took Lilly to the attic. By the time we finished spending time together the others came in.
