Chương 342: Chapter 325. Proposed Alliance Meeting

Anna Ericsson's Point Of View" Should we wait for a bit, My Love?"" Well, maybe this is her answer? We can't just expect someone to uproot their life in a week, right?"" Maybe you're right?" Sarah, John and Alice were questioning whether to wait or not for Mrs. Victoria and Kim. Today was the day for us to finally head home, we decided to leave in the afternoon after everyone could enjoy a good breakfast. Now we're at the Eastern Gate of Zana preparing to head back East to Paradise.

Well, we would be, if not for the fact that we're missing 2 people, unless they choose to stay in Zana that is." I don't know... What to you all think?"" We could wait a bit, the weather's nice, My Love. If you use your Barriers, we could easily have some seats over here."" I say we go. You did tell them what time we were leaving, right, Matthew?"" I did, but they could've gotten a late start, maybe they're trying to find something that's lost in their homes? What do you say, Anna?""

I can take a look with my eyes, instead of just wondering you know?"" Oh... Well, are you okay with doing that? Wouldn't that invade their privacy?"" Usually, but I'll just take a peek in their home to see."" Okay. I'll leave it to you, Anna." From all of the opinions, I thought the quickest way to see what we should do was to just take a look into the home of the Harveys. After moving out of the middle of the road with our carriage and Servants, we all sat on the Barriers that John had made.

With that, I began to take a look around with my eyes. Once I had closed my eyes and began to zero in on the Harvey home, I found the answer to the question." But it was right here!? Where could it have gone?"" Mom! I found it! It rolled under the couch!"" Good job, Kim! Now we need to get going! Oh... We're making 2 Princesses and a Marquess wait on us! What are we going to do if they already left without us? Maybe I should just run?"" No, maybe I should? I'd be faster."

I opened my eyes and turned to John, who was looking at me while I used my eyes. He's always so worried something will happen to me just because my attention moves towards whatever I'm trying to find." They're on their way, they were looking for something, but they found it. They seem to be arguing about just rushing or sending one of them to us to explain. They're nervous that we might be angry with them because of our Noble Titles."" Hah...

I thought I already explained to them not to worry about that and worry about what they want to do... Am I not using the right words or something?" Press... John looked dispirited. I could only place my hand on his to give him some form of comfort. Putting aside that he tried to be as gentle as possible when explaining everything to Mrs. Victoria, there are still some habits that are hardwired into Commoners when it comes to Nobles.

Sure, our Servants and those who spend time with John in Paradise understand what kind of person John is, but to ask that of a stranger whom we met not even a full week ago is a bit much to ask of them." You've done nothing wrong, My Love. Nobles have abused their Ranks and Status an immeasurable number of times all around Gaia. All you can do is be consistent with your actions and words. Eventually, your reputation will speak for itself.

But you must remember that you need to always strive for balance, if you're too gentle and soft-"" People will seek to take advantage of me, I know, Sarah. Thank you." The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident." She's not wrong, Darling. But remember, we're here to make sure that never happens." Sarah quickly reminded John that he'd done nothing wrong. She quickly put her hand on his shoulder to offer some comfort like I did. John was appreciative of it.

Meanwhile, Alice struggled to hide the fact that she wanted to join us. Unfortunately for her, she'll need to wait for an opportunity to do something like this. We've already explained that she needs to be tactical in her attempts to win over John. Her impatience reminds me of Sarah back before Queen Aqua announced her Engagement with John.... And, well... Maybe I see a bit of myself as well? We should try to find a few moments for her while we're traveling back to Paradise?" What do you think about that, Sarah?""

I planned on it. It'll be harder to give her time with him back in Paradise. There's no way Ruby, Emily and Charlotte won't begin vying for time with him. Not to mention all of the Servants and the Shop Owners no doubt will want to hear his opinions on their ideas. He'll be busy for quite a while. He might not even be able to hold a conversation with her alone until the Summit happens in summer. He's so stubborn considering how quickly he fell for us.

I'm glad he's not a philanderer like other High-Ranking Noblemen, but it's beginning to be an issue. Maybe we should find a way for them to have a Night Crawl?"" I'd doubt he'd just accept their advances though? Even now, he attributes all of their words as only platonic affection, he doesn't even view them as Potential Marriage Candidates. It's been like that ever since he Married us."" I've already explained that I'm willing to accept more Wives... Granted, with the list of suitors now...

I doubt my original limitation of 8, including me, is going to work anymore. Including Alle, there's now 7 women vying for a relationship with him. Maybe we really will need to sit down with him and have a talk? I mean, I'm scared to think what they'd do if he rejects them out of respect for us?"" That'll take some doing... Maybe we should hold back so his desires increase? Looking back, we've been kind of selfish by draining him every night, haven't we?"" I don't think we can do that for long though.

Look at how we've acted after traveling this past time. The intervals we can take are growing shorter, Anna."" Maybe we should have an Alliance Meeting to think further on this subject? Surely, we and the girls can come up with a viable plan?"" I'm starting to get a headache."" I know, trying to find a way to make this all work out is stressful."" Huh? Oh, yes that is tough as well."" You were thinking about abstaining from your desires, weren't you?"" WE NEED TO FIND A WAY AROUND THAT!""

Don't yell in my mind, there's no way to quiet you down, it's your Spell after all."" Sorry... It's just stressful..." With the agreement to reconvene with the rest of the Members of the Alliance, Sarah and I finally finished our telepathic conversation. Queen Aqua has no idea how much of a lifesaver that Spell has been for us to converse quickly, even when we were panicking when we noticed how Alice's stare had changed as she looked at John as they landed that night.

Eventually, we were able to get her to join the Alliance and we found a few ways to control her feelings. Now though, we're trying to find a way to let them affect John. I'd almost laugh if it wasn't for the fact that Sarah and I need to figure out how to do it effectively." Say, Anna, are you okay?" John called to me, he looked concerned." Of course I am, Darling. Why? Do I look strange?"" You're expression, it's complicated. Like how you are when you're thinking about something.

If you're trying to think something through, I'm always here, you know?"" I can't hide much from you, can I?"" Of course not. I'm your Husband after all!" Oh, if only he knew how much we've had to hide and how that's put us in this situation to begin with. All of these issues are flying around in my head and that's why I haven't been able to join in conversations lately! Especially because I'm trying to find a way to fit Alice into the conversation smoothly...

I can't truly be mad at him for it however, we've done all of this only because we know he truly wishes to devote himself to Sarah and me. The only issue is that other Powerful Women have fallen for him as well as his most valuable Assistant and her Guard. I'm being too negative about this. If we found a way for our Marriage to work, I know we can find a way to make the others Marrying him work as well.

The most important part about it, the Hierarchy, has already been established and we've been working in that framework since the beginning. We just need the right opportunity." You're right, Darling, it's not like you hiding that little goal of yours even back when we were in Paradise. I still can't believe you could sneak it right under my nose."" Well, I still need to be able to surprise you. Speaking of which, how is Paradise? Can you see how they are?""

Well, I can't tell how the whole city is doing, but I can check and see how Emily, Ruby and Charlotte are doing. Right around now, I'd imagine Ruby and Emily are probably cleaning themselves after training."" Oh, well I'm sure you don't need to show me tha-"" I'll look now!" I quickly closed my eyes to start looking, if I can catch them naked in the bath and then describe their bodies, that should give him an inkling to start viewing them as women. Or at least, I hope.

I zero in on Emily's figure after all, John likes big chests best, as Sarah and I have figured out through multiple fun tests." I see Emily."" you don-"" What is this!?"" Huh?" I was shocked at what I saw, I quickly opened my eyes, my surprise made it hard to explain what I saw to John. Oh? What's this? Ruby and Emily are having a discussion now." I wonder what they'll look like when they see what we've done?"" I bet they'll be as happy as we are. Wahhhh...." Hm? Maybe I should keep it a secret?

I'd like to see the look on John's face as well.
