John Ericsson's Point of View. The morning sun felt warm on my face as I sat in my bed while my two Fiancés slept beside me. Sarah seemed to be having a pleasant dream. She had a loose smile on her face and I could see her breathing was rhythmic and deep. Anna on the other hand, she didn't seem to be having a nightmare, but her breathing was erratic. I wasn't sure if I should wake her up. My concern won in the end and I poked her arm to wake her. When I did, Anna jumped up and began to speak in a panicked voice."
No, if I wear daring underwear, I wouldn't be able to look him in the eye!" She stopped speaking and looked around... It seems she was in the middle of a passionate conversation. She noticed soon after that she was awake. She seemed a bit stunned. I decided that it was best to offer her a deal." Anna, how about we make a deal?" She looked at me like she was interested in what I was about to say." I'll forget this happened. In return, I just want to know who you were talking to while you were sleeping.
Was it your Goddess?" Anna while still embarrassed began to nod her head." It... It was also another Goddess... She was a Friend of my Goddess." Kiss. I was surprised at how honest she was being. she could've ended it with nodding, but apparently, she was talking to another Goddess as well. I couldn't help but smile at how cute my Fiancé was. I leaned closer to her and kissed her." Okay, with that, I promise that this never happened. But, you can tell the Goddess that I like their idea." Anna went red.
And then we both heard a voice from behind me." Oh? Is that what we get to wake up to now that we're Officially Fiancés?" I turned my head to see Sarah laying on her side and smiling softly at me. I could really get used to mornings like this from now on. I decided to answer her question." Well, if you'd like to make this a rule for our Marriage moving forward, I wouldn't fight it."" If it's up to me. I vote yes!" * wobble... Kiss!" Sarah jumped up and proceeded to kiss me. Wrap! Tighten! It was a short kiss.
After Sarah was done, she hugged me and spoke to Anna, who was still behind me." So, Anna, would you like that as well?" I couldn't see Anna, but I could just imagine she was moving her eyes side to side and trying to summon the courage to answer. I decided to help her out." Anna, you're going to be my Wife and I'm going to be your Husband. We're in private now, you can be honest with me. You don't need to hold back from what you want." I heard her breathe in deeply before I began to feel her move on the bed. Wrap!
Tighten! It wasn't long before I felt Anna wrap her arms around me and I felt her body and her warmth on my back. I waited to see what Anna wanted to do. It wasn't long before I heard her begin to speak quietly in my ear." I want to do that to from now on to...."" Sarah, can you let me go for a second?"" Of course, My Love." Sarah released me and I turned to see Anna hiding her face behind her thin hands. Pat... Stroke... I began to pet her head. I started to speak gently to her."
Good job, Anna, from now on, let's work on being able to tell each other what we want from our relationship. Okay?"" Umu" Tighten. Instead of talking she just made a noise into my shoulder as she nodded her head. I felt Sarah hug me from behind as well. The morning started off with spending some quality time with my Fiancés. Time moved on however and we all got ready to leave to have breakfast. Once we were leaving the room, I had just realized that Sarah was walking with Anna and me." Sarah!? Is this... Okay?
Don't you need to go back to your room?" This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it. Sarah looked at me with a puzzled expression." John, I can just say that I spent the night watching over you just in case. Besides, at this point, who cares? We've both confessed our feelings, we both accepted each other's feelings. You even accepted another woman's feelings as well. If I want to spend the night with my Fiancé, who can stop me?
My Parents are in full support of our relationship anyways. To deny our relationship is to disobey the King and Queen who declared our Betrothal."" Well, when you put it like that... Wait!? So, are you saying all the times you left, you did that because you were trying to be considerate to my feelings?"" More or less. I also trusted Anna to not attack you after I left."" Attack me? Why would she do that?"" I mean sexu---"" SARAH!"
Before Sarah could finish her sentence, Anna quickly covered her mouth with her hands. However, I understood what she meant so I decided to voice my feelings." While I admit, Anna is very charming to me and I am attracted to her, I wouldn't do something like that until we were Married. God forbid, I do something without being able to take responsibility for it."" Hmm... You say that now. But what if Anna approached you like this." Sarah began to sheepishly move closer to me.
She lightly held onto my sleeve and looked at me with her big purple eyes." John, please..." She began to inch closer to me and began to close her eyes. I began to move closer to her." See?" Sarah backed away from me with a teasing smile. I was embarrassed because I was caught hook line and sinker." And for Anna, it could be even more effective. Seeing as how she can shyly call you "Master" instead of just your name if she really wanted to go for it. That combination is the weakness of all men!""
Oh please, Anna wouldn't do something like that." I looked at Anna for agreement, but she looked away from me." Wait, Anna, don't tell me she's right?"" Of course I am! I'm the first of us to fall for you! I know how we think! My Love, you're too trusting of the people you're close to! However, that's one of your features I Love the most!" Wrap! Tighten! Sarah wrapped her arms around my arm and began to squeeze it. Anna was in the process of calming down. Oh, wait. Wrap... squeeze...
Seems she saw Sarah and is now slowly entwining our hands so as to not get left behind. While enjoying our time as Fiancés, we made our way to the Mess Hall of the Northern Border. When we had made it to a place where we could hear people talking. Release. We separated so as to not cause any disturbances. We rounded a corner and we ran into Alex speaking with General Donovon. When they saw me, they stopped their conversation and approached me." Matthew! How are you!?" Alex was the first to speak.
I could see Donovon wanted to ask the same question." Oh, now that you mention it... Holy Heal!" My mana was back... I feel like I have a lot less than usual. Must be that toll for the Armor being fixed." What did you just do, Matthew?" Donovon asked me with confusion in his voice." I healed myself. Thanks for reminding me. I kept thinking I felt sore." I started to stretch a little to feel my body's condition. I felt fine! Thank God!" Wait, you have a Spell that fully heals you!?"
Alex asked me while I had one arm over my head." Yeah, why do you ask? Is there someone who needs to be healed? I'll warn you though, there's a limit to me using the Spell. For certain reasons, I only have around half my usual mana for today."" Yes! Can you heal someone for us!? She's been injured for so long!" Alex grabbed my hands and started to plead to me." Sure, just let me eat breakfast and go say hi to Warrick and Aqua. Then I have no problems healing anyone in all honesty."" Thank you, Matthew!
You have no idea how much this means to me!" Alex was ecstatic at my answer. Sarah and Anna pulled me away from Alex so we could go greet Warrick and Aqua. Sarah led the way and took me to Warrick and Aqua's room. Sarah knocked on the door. Trish was the one to answer. When she saw me, she immediately started yelling at me." YOU FOOL!"" Oh no, not this again!"" DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED EVERYONE WAS!?" Trish was fuming. Wait does she have tears in her eyes?" Wait, Trish, I get it, I'm sorry!
I wasn't thinking at the time! I was only thinking about saving Sarah at the time! I swear I was going to cast protective Magic on me right after, but the guy was faster than I thought!"" It's because you're like this that everyone was worried, you dolt!" Trish gave me a stern lecture for the next 10 minutes before Warrick and Aqua had come to the door to see where Trish had gone, they saw me sitting on my knees as Trish was laying into me." I'm glad to see that you're okay, my Friend."
Warrick was the first to speak to me. Aqua began to soothe Trish and calm her down." I heard you saved me, Warrick. Thank you for that."" I'm just returning the favor. I'm sorry you weren't prepared for that guy. If only our Spies could see through Disguise Magic." Warrick's face and tone of voice was full of regret." Well, don't beat yourself up too much. This experience was valuable for me. For one, I thought that since I beat the Hero so easily, that I may have been stronger than I had thought.
Then Jessie came and I realized I had a lot more work to do." Warrick seemed relieved that I had a positive take away from the whole ordeal. Aqua had a gleam in her eye after looking at the three of us." What else was valuable for you, John?" Aqua smiled at me with a wide grin. Well, best to just be honest, I guess." Yes, well, like I said to you guys before. After the battle, I spoke to Sarah and Anna about my feelings for them. And I'm glad to report that they both accepted my Proposal."" Congratulations!"
While Warrick and Aqua congratulated me, Trish was congratulating Sarah and Anna. Well, while I'm here, I may as well do this traditionally." Warrick, Aqua. I have something to ask you both."" Hm?"" What is it, John?" I take a deep breath and begin to speak." I Love Sarah. Would you please allow me to Marry your Daughter!?" I made sure I was standing up straight and did my best to look serious." Psfff..."" Fufufufu" Warrick and Aqua were both laughing at me. No! Wait! Everyone was laughing."
You guys know I'm being serious here, right?" Warrick started to speak through his laughs." Sorry, sorry. It's just that when I imagine a man asking for my Daughter's Hand In Marriage. I didn't think he'd be doing it in pajamas. i was thinking more of a suit. Or even armor to try and fight me." I saw my mistake and decided to just wait out the laughs. In time they subsided. Aqua began to speak to me." John, Sarah has already chosen you.
We are happy that you both are getting Married don't get us wrong, but our opinion doesn't matter truly. But for what it's worth, yes you have my Blessing, John."" And mine as well. Please, make my Daughter happy. And preferably, promise me you will live for her and Anna. Not die for them." Aqua and Warrick looked at me seriously and waited for my reply. They didn't have to wait long." Thank you. And I promise I'll live. I can't let them be sad after all!"" Welcome to the Family, John!"" And you to, Anna!" Grip!
Shake! Warrick gave me a handshake and Aqua went to hug Anna. We spent our time relaxing until it was time for breakfast. I felt like today was going to be a good day.
