Let's Train Heroine

Chapter 6: Sleeping with Heroine

After drying Maris and putting on her clothes, it was time for bed.

Since Lucan lived alone, he only had one bed, and he couldn't have Maris sleep on the floor. He told her to sleep on the bed with him.

Maris shook her head and refused. "I should sleep on the floor. That's how I've always lived."

Lucan blinked his eyes, surprised. "Forget those things. From the moment you decided to stay at the temple with me, your life changed. Come and sleep on the bed. You liked the bath, didn't you? Trust me, you'll like sleeping on a bed as well."

Maris hesitated, but Lucan gently picked her up and placed her on the bed. He then lay down beside her, hugging her with one arm. "Stay here and sleep," he told her.

It took two hours before Maris finally fell asleep, holding his arm tightly as she slept peacefully. Lucan sighed, relieved that she had finally settled down. Because of her restlessness, he had to stay awake for two hours, but now he could sleep peacefully.

After closing his eyes, it might have been an hour or so when he was woken by crying and screaming. When he opened his eyes, he saw Maris crying and calling out, "Mama... Mama..."

"Now I have to deal with nightmares," Lucan sighed. He looked at her and cast a mind-rest spell. This spell would calm her and allow her to sleep without nightmares.

"Over the next few years, I really have a lot to do. I hope when you grow up and marry a man, you won't forget me," Lucan said, sighing and hoping to get some good sleep.

It was a girl's game, so of course Maris was going to fall in love with a man, face some difficulties in her love life, and then marry and live a happy life.

Lucan thought about his own future. He decided that he should get himself a wife. He didn't want to be single when Maris married the man she loved. He could guess that he was going to be a father-like figure to Maris, so when the time came, he wanted Maris to also have a mother at her wedding.

"Well, I don't need to think about those things right now," Lucan thought and decided to sleep.

He just had to make sure that Maris had a good time with him before she left. In the future, when she became successful, he could benefit from their bond.

With these thoughts, Lucan finally drifted off to sleep, determined to provide Maris with the care and support she needed.
