Chương 187: Chapter 170. Family Meeting In A Guest Room

" So, what do you both think?" I asked Sarah and Anna what their impressions of the Royal Family were. Of course, I didn't ask this in front of the Royal Family. After being led to the living quarters of the Royal Palace, the Royal Family returned to their dwellings and a Maid was asked to lead us to our guest room... Well, "room" is selling it short. It wasn't as big as the mansion we currently live in, but it was much bigger than what would be seen as a "normal" room. The room had a 2nd floor for instance.

The first floor had a kitchen, a bathroom, a dining room and a living room to relax in. The 2nd floor had a master bedroom and 2 other regular bedrooms and a bathroom. The walls and ceiling all had intricate carvings in it that seemed to show the Gods that the Dark Elves worshipped as they were blessing the Shadow Forest. Seeing the attention to detail in the carvings, I wondered what the Royal Dwellings looked like... Now that I think about it, I never saw what the Royal Dwellings in Blackstone looked like?

Maybe it can't be shown to an outsider? Though I did see Sarah's bedroom and Warrick's office. During my thoughts, we sat around the coffee table. I noticed that we were finally alone for the first time since arriving in Darkheim, so I decided to get Sarah and Anna's thoughts on our "hosts"." It's hard to say just based on the few hours we spent with them, My Love."

Sarah spoke as she looked around at the muted browns of the walls made from the tree and the muted greens from the curtains and furniture that were obviously placed in here after making the room. Her answer was something I expected, granted, I already had somewhat of an opinion on all 5 of the current Royals we were dealing with."

From what I saw of them all, I think Prince Delcan and Queen Crystal seem to have positive feelings towards us, your secret coming out seemed to increase those feelings and moved them from thinking it would be difficult to befriend you, to being something that could realistically be done."" That might be the 1 silver lining from exposing all of that."" Well, there's also the fact that you admitted how happy we make you." Anna tried to tease me after sharing her own thoughts on the Royals."

I would think that much is obvious. I can't remember the last time I smiled as much as when I'm with you both. I never want to be away from my Wives from now on."" Do you hear that, Anna? He's basically admitting he could never leave us now! He's basically our prisoner!" Sarah seemed very happy to hear my words. It is funny to me how she acts like this, but is so weak in other matters... arousal... No, no, I shouldn't think of sex until we get back home.

I looked at the ceiling to try and think of something else and calm down. While doing so, after Sarah was done celebrating that I love my Wives, Anna continued her thoughts." The King seems to be a loose cannon, but I'm not sure if he is a bad person? Maybe just a bit... Over reactive, maybe?"" He nearly caused an international incident because he misrepresented my words in his mind. Or do either of you think what I said could've been bad?""

Did you look at him weirdly when you asked about "keeping it to yourself", My Love?"" No, I don't think so?"" My eyes didn't catch anything weird about his expression either. I do honestly think the King just misread Darling's words." To Sarah's question, Anna and I both gave our answers, the reason for the King snapping had to be due to some kind of a misreading of my words, it's the only thing that makes sense." Maybe it was due to my being a Human as well as a Marquess for Diablos?""

Even if it was the case that it was because you were a Human, it doesn't make sense why he would hold being a member of Diablosian Nobility against you, My Love?"" I don't know, there were strange looks coming from the crowd towards both of you." Wait, that's why those stares at Charlotte looked familiar to me! That's it! It was similar to the looks they gave Sarah and Anna!" They looked at you both like how they stared at Charlotte when she yelled at them!

Sure, there was some anger at being reprimanded, but that same look and feeling was there."" But why?" Anna asked the million-dollar question. Unfortunately, I didn't have an answer." I have no idea, but somehow you 3 are connected in their minds. And it's different to the distrust they feel towards me. They seem to view you 3 as "lesser" For some reason?"" Is it from the fact we're both Princesses?" Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author."

They wouldn't have stared at Anna with the same look then. Maybe because all 3 of you are High Nobles?"" That's more of a Privilege than something to look at us as "lesser" than, right, Darling?" Ideas were being shot down left and right as we tried to figure out a link that made sense for the 3 separate people." Arranged Marriage maybe?"" But we showed that we were Happily Married, right?"" The Queen definitely saw that from the start.""

Well, you're the one always saying things when our guards are down, My Love!"" A prisoner is still allowed to speak in his cell, last I checked." To my words, Sarah and Anna scooted around the table and sat at the border of the sofa I was sitting on. This now made the conversation a bit more difficult as we all now weren't facing each other correctly. Sarah and Anna were looking at me and by extension, each other. They're definitely planning something after what I just said."

Speaking of Princess Charlotte, My Love. What do you think about her?"" Yes, Darling, what do you think about her?" Why are they both teaming up on me about Charlotte? Is this their idea? See if I view Charlotte as attractive? Why would they even think I would look at her like that? I mean, she's a Princess and I'm just a Marquess... With a Wife who used to be a Princess... But Charlotte lives in a different Country to me pretty much..." What were your thoughts exactly? Hmm?"

Sarah started to approach me, crawling on her hands and knees towards me. I turn to look at her and proceed to back away a little." I didn't think much. I thought she was quick to act, maybe had some kind of aversion to Humans based on how fast she reacted to feeling the killing intent you both put out and then seeing me. I thought it was brave, but stupid to launch an attack on me.

Also, I thought she was stubborn, considering she never gave up trying to get to me even when my Spell caused her to be unstable and looking... Well, foolish on the floor trying to get to me. Then there was how she still seemed to dislike me for no real reason while we were talking at the tab-"" Enough of that! You know what we meant!" Sarah continued to crawl at me. I sighed as I backed up again. Seriously, what is with this jealousy?

Also, this position isn't doing me any favors in the "calming down" department that I was trying to reach earlier." Do I find her attractive you mean?"" Do remember, Anna can tell when you lie. And I'll be able to smell it on you!"" How could you possibly be capable of that!?"" It's the ability of a Top-Class Wife, obviously! Even Anna could do it if she didn't have her eyes. Now talk, My Love!"" Okay, okay! Just stop crawling towards me! You don't need to pressure me like that."

Sarah stopped moving, but didn't break eye contact with me. Again, I could only sigh at my Wife having this reaction." You know, I could understand wanting to know this if you had no idea about my feelings, but we're Married and planning for children, aren't we? I'd assume that would make my feelings about something like cheating pretty clear."" By all means, My Love. Anna and I trust you and know you would never cheat on us.

Your actions and words show us how deeply you care about us and have never given us a reason to doubt you. But knowing that you find someone else attractive.... Is something else entirely. we'll be using this for research after all." Sarah smiled a teasing smile after she finished speaking." What are you? a school student!?"" There are many things we've yet to learn about you, My Love! And we'd love to know about it all!

What better way than to hear what you think about other pretty girls, than from your own words?"" Well, what about you!? Do you like Prince Delcan!"" He's nowhere near cute enough! Not like you are. No one can compare to your blushing face right now! Like the finest dessert we could have!" Grip!" I dislike the color of his eyes, his smile doesn't draw me in. I'm much more attracted to your eyes and smile, Darling. He could never compare to My Darling!" Sarah nearly yelled her answer as she got even closer to me.

Anna had snuck up on me and held my arms as she whispered her answer in my ears, squeezing ever so gently when she called me "Darling". grip... Sarah took this moment to reach out and take my head in her hands." Now, stop stalling, My Love. You have to answer our question this time." Sarah smiled at me as she demanded my answer. I sighed again and figured I'd need to be honest." I didn't really notice what she looked like when she was falling on herself because of my Magic." But." slide...

Anna whispered in my ear as her hands moved to my chest instead of my arms." When we were sitting at the table, I found her expressions cute when I teased her. I think she's attractive."" Good, My Love. Now what else were you about to say?" Sarah always knows when I have something else I wanted to say. She just watched my face as I began to speak." I... In the back of my head... I thought she couldn't compare to you or Anna in my eyes."" And?" Tighten... I looked away, but that wasn't allowed.

So she tightened her hands to make her the center of my attention. She waited patiently for me to speak." B-Because I Love you both so much."" My, my! To say something like that about a Princess! That could cause a scandal!" tighten... Despite Sarah's words, she seemed elated at my words, Anna hugged me tightly as well. Why do I feel like this was all an elaborate scheme to get to this moment?" Now then..."

While I was thinking about my Wives conspiring against me, Sarah moved my face to looking directly into her eyes. Considering how often she does this, I'd be willing to guess this is her favorite position to have me in. Sarah looked deeply in my eyes with her own. As I stared at her purple eyes moving closer to me, she began to whisper to me." How should we go about punishing you for that?" /KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! /"!"

"!"

"!" Release! Release! Just as our lips were about to touch, a loud knocking at the door interrupted Sarah's movement. It was almost Magic-like how fast Sarah and Anna reached their feet and appeared to be "proper" Noblewomen." Come, My Love. It seems our night isn't over."" Perhaps they're here because the Royal Family wants to summon us again, Darling?" Sarah and Anna reached their hands out to me to pick me up. Stretch... Grip! Grip! Pull! Pull! I reached for them, and they lifted me like a kid picking up a toy.

Sometimes, I forget just how physically strong they are compared to me. rub... rub... I landed on my feet and Anna nuzzled close to my ear, bending down ever so slightly to match her mouth to my right ear." I guess your punishment as our "prisoner" is postponed for now, Darling?" kiss... Anna gently kissed my cheek and she and Sarah walked with me to the door. As I opened the door, I couldn't help but think that my Wives also liked to strike when my guard was down.
