1623 Rest

Theo gradually opened his eyes after getting some sleep. He realized he was sleeping on the couch with the quilt covering him. The couch had been turned into a simple bed with the illusion, so he had a comfortable sleep.

"Mhm.." Theo let out a small moan while stretching his body, trying to get up. His mind felt fresh to the point it put a smile on his face.

'It has been a while since I have felt this way.' Theo muttered inwardly. 'In the past, I've always made sure to prepare for everything even when I'm sleeping. But for the first time in two years, I can finally sleep thoroughly.'

Theo got up and removed the illusion while yawning.

He tried to find where Agata was and sensed her in their backyard.

She was changing their backyard a bit to make it more pleasing to the eyes. When Theo opened the door, she noticed him and stopped.

"You've woken up." She smiled, staring at Theo's sleepy face. "Do you have a good sleep?"

"That's the best one I've ever had in a while. Thanks." Theo gave a thumbs up and a cheeky smile.

"Haha." Agata walked to him and asked, "Do you want to drink anything?"

"It's fine. I drank water earlier." Theo waved his hand while glancing at the backyard. "Changing something?"

"Yeah. You haven't done anything in the backyard, so I'm trying to figure out the best layout." Agata nodded while snapping her fingers. "This is the best one I saw earlier."

The backyard soon changed. The ground was covered with grass. There was a stone path leading to the end of the backyard where there was a small park with a couple-swing in it.historical

"What do you think?"

"Need a pool?" Theo asked.

"Mhm?" Agata looked down, contemplating seriously. "Nope. I don't like swimming that much. Though, a jacuzzi would be nice."

"Then.." Theo snapped his finger and formed a jacuzzi on top of the grass. He then created the path to it and decorated it with wood. He used his Order to form water and increase its temperature. After that, he poured his wind to give an illusion of a working jacuzzi.

"For now, this should be enough. We can replace it with the real one later." Theo smiled and walked to it. He checked the water's temperature and smiled. "Want to try it?"

"Is that an invitation for a bath or.." Agata smirked.

"Just a bath. You're dirty." Theo stuck his tongue out.

"What did you say? I was just asking. I couldn't help it since the one who blessed me was Aphrodite."

"I mean, your body is dirty. Have you taken a bath yesterday? Ah, did you just admit you have a dirty mind."

".." Agata was speechless before saying, "Since I'm dirty, shouldn't that mean I should stay away from you? I don't want to let you smell a foul odor from my body."

Agata fought back, trying her best to hold back her laughter.

Theo smirked playfully and walked to her. He grabbed her back and the back of her thighs before lifting her like a princess.

"The only thing you have to do is this.." Theo carried her to the jacuzzi and entered it together.

"Clothes, clothes! Don't you dare to use your Telekinesis to destroy the clothes? I didn't bring too many spares!" Agata stopped him before he dropped her into the water.

".." Theo fell silent for a moment before letting her down. He respected her opinion after all.

"Pfft." Agata laughed.

".." Theo realized Agata was joking with him. "It seems that you are challenging me.."

"Haha. Who taught me to be a smartass." Agata stuck her tongue out before she suddenly felt wet. "Huh?"

Agata looked down and realized she was actually standing in the middle of the jacuzzi.

"This is.." Agata blinked her eyes a few times, never expecting she had been standing here this whole time. She turned around and confirmed Theo hadn't done anything to her.

So, she was stunned to find herself in this situation.

"It seems that you haven't seen the video of my battle in the union." Theo smirked.

"Ah!" Agata obviously had seen it. Theo used his power to make the original Theo face a certain reality when it actually never happened. The original Theo didn't realize it, so how could she?

She just realized Theo had known about her trick this whole time and turned around the situation by using his illusion.

"You, you tricked me."

"Hahahaha!" Theo laughed while looking away.

"Haha, take this!" She hugged him as her weight pushed him back until both of them fell into the water.

*Boom!*

"Haaa!" Agata was the first one to come out while waving her hand to the back. She saw Theo coming back up, so she said, "By the way, it seems someone is going to sleep on the floor tonight."

"Wh-what?!" Theo's face became pale as he looked at her in disbelief.

Agata knew he was just acting. She said, "Do you think I don't know your trick? The moment you're sleeping on the floor, you're going to lower the bed to the floor level. This way, I might be sleeping on the bed, but it's all the same."

"Hehehe." Theo chuckled before adding playfully, "Though, we can use tatami mats for that. They're pretty comfortable. You should have tried it as well when you were in United Asia, right?"

"True. Sneaky." Agata smiled while hugging him. "What should I do with you.."

"Haha.." Theo chuckled while moving back to the wall and took a seat on the side. "I'm not going down easily."

"Hehe. You know I can't trick you no matter what. Your ability and rules are making it impossible for me to trick you."

"Should I play along then?"

"Idiot." Agata flicked his forehead gently while smiling. "Who cares about that? No, let's change the word 'trick' to 'flirt.' Yeah, that's better."

"That's why you're my fiancee." Theo gave a thumbs up.

"Hehe.." Agata's head became closer to him before they kissed again.

This was truly a peaceful life that Theo had dreamed of and had been working toward it. After fighting for so long, Theo deserved rest.
