Chương 212: Chapter 195. Married Night Talks

" So, what happened, My Love?"" Yes, Darling. We could tell it was bothering you the entire rest of the day. Telling us might help you feel better." Sarah and Anna spoke to me as soon as Janet left after bringing us to our bedroom for the night. As we were all fresh out of the bath, we had opened up the windows slightly to allow some of the night wind in to offset some of the hot tea we had to drink before we went to bed.

Unfortunately, we couldn't truly do what we wanted since we've currently gained 3 guests who're incapable of leaving for the time being. Form what I understand, Delcan and Charlotte's houses will be complete and ready to be used at the end of the week and it will take a few more days after they leave for Princess Alice to have a house to use as she stays here. Sarah and Anna were sitting at my sides as they began to ask me what has had me spooked for the day. My thoughts began to circle back to that nightmare.

It felt so real. The fear of looking at that living shadow... I could still feel it like I was truly fighting him. I could almost feel that metal lance piercing through my chest still as well." Well, when I was sleeping from Mana Exhaustion, I had this... Nightmare, I guess."" A nightmare has you spooked? What was it about, Darling?"" I just... It's hard to explain... It didn't feel like a dream. That's the only way I can really describe the feeling.

It was like I wasn't just viewing it like a dream, it was more like.... Like..."" A memory?" Sarah looked for a word to help me explain it." Yes, it was almost like I was viewing a memory. But it wasn't from my life. It was a battlefield. I think the battle was between Paladins and... Something evil."" Evil?"" It's the only way I can describe it. Hang on. I'll take you through it. The dream." I recounted everything I knew from the dream.

From the red moon to the mountains of corpses, the mud made from dirt and gallons of blood that began to consume the bodies on the battlefield. The sounds of metal clashing with metal and then the scene of Paladins fighting those shadow monsters as well as armored foes. And then I told them about my own encounter with the live shadow and the other Paladin and how I think I died at the end."

I've never heard of a moon going red, but I do know there are stories from the Royal Diablos Library that speaks of Paladins being at war in the past. But the texts are old and damaged, whole pages are missing. Maybe you saw one of those battles from the wars lost to time?"" That must be it, Sarah." Sarah tried to offer some explanation for what I've seen." I can try and speak to the Goddesses and see if they know anything, Darling."" That would be great, Anna, maybe I should look into it with Angela as well?"

Anna seemed to think of asking the Goddesses she's Contracted to. I thought I should do the same. I had a nagging feeling that I wouldn't get an answer to any of my questions though. My mind thought back on the Appraisal Orbs being glitched and having unreadable text. It's almost like it was hiding something. Grip! As I thought about these things, I felt a tighter squeeze on my right hand." Sarah?" Sarah had a troubled look on her face. I couldn't help but ask what was wrong."

It's just that I can't really help you. All of my plans to support you are slow moving, I can't offer you physical comfort because I didn't plan on people having to stay with us... Though I don't truly mind them hearing our noises. I just wish I could do more than just offer words to comfort you. It's so vexing!" If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. squeeze... I squeezed her hand a little tighter." Sometimes the help is in just being with me, Sarah.

For better or worse, just you being next to me brings me comfort. Sure, you can't talk to a God, but you're the 1 of the 2 people who I trust with everything. Don't ever doubt that you help me, Sarah. I Love You and Anna more than I could ever explain with words."" M... My Love..." Grip! Sarah teared up a bit at my words. Anna squeezed my hand a little tighter as well in response to my words." For now, we need to just do what we can for each other. I think that's the key to Marriage.

Just remember, I'm always thinking of you both. Nothing would make me happier than just spending every day with you both without interruptions. That's the main reason I'm doing all this after all. I want us to be able to spend the rest of our lives together." To my words, Sarah was happy. But once she had a deep smile, something changed in her eyes, like she remembered something suddenly." As much as that would please me, John. I just want to remind you... No, I need to tell you.

There's going to come a time when you find yourself falling for another woman. When that happens, don't feel guilt-ridden like you did with Anna. Come to us, tell us about it and together, we can plan accordingly."

"?" Sarah's words were quite weird to hear in the moment." Do... Did I give the impression that I've grown to like someone?" I asked Sarah and Anna if I was exhibiting signs of something like that. I mean... I don't think I have? I don't think I have eyes for anyone besides my Wives? I feel like I've only been objective when dealing with other women?" No, Darling. I would've caught it if you had." Why do I get the impression a few of Anna's eyes just twinkled? But I'm glad I could relax now though."

I was just stating that it will happen at some point, My Love."" I doubt it."" No, it will. And it will be okay, as long as you remember-"" You come first?"" Yes, and Anna is always right after me. Never forget that." We all smiled as we remembered the first rule of this arrangement. After a moment of laughing, Sarah placed herself in front of me and began to speak in a serious tone." I just want to remind you, My Love. There are many beautiful women in this world. And there is only one of you.

I fell for you the moment I first laid eyes on you. Anna fell for you in short order not long after that. You'll obviously grow and become a more influential figure in this world in no time, we're turning this town from a ghost town into a City that will rival Blackstone and any other Major City in Our Country. That potential for change, your personality itself and the power you will wield in time as a Paladin, you'll attract other women without even trying, like how water attracts life.

We need to make sure that you only get close to the right kind of woman, like Anna and me."" Okay, I will... But I mean, who would even do something like that? I mean... Look already, I've met 3 other Princesses so far, Sarah. None of them have fallen for me. I don't think this'll be as big of a problem as you might think." Sarah rolled her eyes at me and sat back down next to me. Anna began to speak to me, after Sarah returned to the position she was in before, holding my hand all the while."

I think she meant to say that not only the powerful young women of Gaia will try to gain your favor, but young commoners will try as well. Granted, it'll be hard to get a hold of you. We're your Wives and we can only truly grasp and talk to you at night. While I can't really speak for the minds of Princesses, I can guarantee you can make a common girl fall for you. The fact that I'm here is a testament to that fact, Darling." Anna followed up Sarah's statement with her own."

I mean, I understand, but again, I've met women like Ruby and Emily, They're just Friends with me. I doubt I'll be spending much time out of this house soon. Unless Warrick ends up asking me for something." Both Sarah and Anna sighed at my words. To be honest, I wasn't looking forward to running an errand for Warrick again either. From running all the way to Darkheim and then bringing another Foreign Princess to Paradise because he needed me to report on what happened with the Dark Elves. Oh!

I forgot to mention the Summit!" What? You look like you just remembered something, Darling?"" Yeah... It's funny you bring that up, Anna..." Thus began an hour-long discussion about the King Summit and if it was possible in the time frame we had. We've decided that honestly, it depends on how long it takes for the messages to reach each Royal Family. In terms of reactions to hosting the Summit here in Paradise. Sarah and Anna were mostly positive to it.

I imagined that had to do with the fact that Warrick, Aqua and Trish would most likely visit us because of it. By the time we were finished discussing the summit, we could barely keep our eyes open. We slept in each other's arms since that was the most natural position for us now. I fell asleep as I felt their body warmth mix with mine under our blankets. I was lucky in that I didn't have another nightmare while I slept. Maybe it had to do with the fact that I had 2 protective Demons with me this time?
