Chapter 108: Opportunity
"Master, I beg you not to be sad. Ms. Elize is strong. She even managed to injure Miss Rossweisse, who is considered the Queen Witch."
"What Tifa said is true. Please don’t show such a sad face. As your two personal maids, we are both very sorry about Ms. Elize’s condition."
The words spoken by Tifa and Tina unconsciously succeeded in calming the worry that had previously plagued me. As a weak and helpless man, I could only nod at every word Tifa and Tina said to me. On the contrary, I silently remained where I was while watching the bright scenery above the sky.
The previously dark sky once again revealed its bright colours. Even the entire territory of the Dragonia Kingdom had completely returned to its usual state. Therefore, I found myself constantly contemplating my thoughts while watching the scene unfolding above the sky.
The comforting words from Athena, Tifa, and Tina were the very words that succeeded in calming the worry that had previously plagued my heart. There was no reason for me to distance myself from or not acknowledge Tifa and Tina as women. However, only Tifa and Tina could interest me for now after they decided to submit and become my two personal maids.
"The sky is very beautiful. There is even a rainbow stretching to the horizon."
"It’s quite beautiful, isn’t it?" Both Heilde and Ariel began to praise the changes that had occurred in the sky, which had now become bright again. From Heilde and Ariel’s point of view, the changes that occurred in the sky after the fight between Elize and Rossweisse had created a beautiful phenomenon like a colourful rainbow.
The sound of my breathing began to be heard. For now, I had completely regained my composure. At the same time, I felt that the wounds that had previously plagued my body had completely healed.
"I thank all of you for accompanying me throughout this day. Even though it wasn’t a pleasant day at all..."
"Hehe. Can a brother-in-law even praise his own sisters-in-law? That really makes me happy~" Ariel’s pupils involuntarily took on the gaze of a wild beast. The change shown by Ariel at that moment went completely unnoticed by me. On the contrary, Heilde and Athena were the only women who noticed the change in Ariel’s attitude towards my words.
From my point of view as Ariel and Heilde’s brother-in-law, I considered every word Ariel had previously spoken to be a form of praise. But from the point of view of the women who were present, Ariel’s response to my gratitude was no different from a declaration of "war" between women.
There was not a single woman present who did not like Lucien as a member of the opposite sex. Therefore, even someone like Heilde was amazed by the extraordinary qualities that her brother-in-law possessed.
"Huff... Heilde, Ariel, do you two want to talk in private with your sister? I want to ask you both a question."
Even though they were confused about the question their older sister suddenly wanted to ask, Ariel and Heilde decided to agree to her request. In the end, Athena was the older sister whom Ariel and Heilde respected the most.
Rejecting their older sister’s request to ask them a question would not have been polite at all. Even though Ariel and Heilde regarded Athena as the sister they respected the most, they would never forget that she was their brother-in-law’s first wife.
There was no chance whatsoever that Ariel and Heilde would be able to snatch their brother-in-law away from their older sister. Suddenly, Athena unknowingly grabbed Ariel’s and Heilde’s wrists. In less than a few seconds, Heilde and Ariel had moved several metres away from Lucien and the others.
"You should understand what your sister means. Actually, this is about your brother-in-law. I just couldn’t stand it after seeing how Cien became more attentive towards the women around him. Even though it was both of our faults..." Sigh after sigh came out of Athena’s mouth. Because of the agreement between Athena and Elize to allow their lover to have any woman in the world, they considered themselves to be one of the reasons why their lover had begun to look more seriously at the women living in the castle.
Since Athena and Lucien had their first time together, Lucien had completely decided to pay more attention to the situation around him. Because Lucien knew that Heilde’s and Ariel’s feelings for him were those of women in love, he decided to pay closer attention to their behaviour whenever they were around him.
But it wasn’t a big problem at all for Athena and Elize. Even Elize admitted that making Heilde and Ariel potential women for their lover was not a bad thing at all. However, for a woman like Shelia to become one of their lover’s women was the most dangerous possibility when considering a future wife.
Even Athena agreed with the opinion given by her best friend that Shelia should not become a candidate to be their lover’s wife. In fact, the feelings that Shelia showed towards Lucien came purely from her sincerity. But still, Shelia’s possessive attitude towards their lover was enough to make both Elize and Athena feel uncomfortable whenever they were near her.
"What is Big Sister trying to say? Neither of us understands it at all. Isn’t that right, Sister Heilde?"
Unfortunately, no answer came out of Heilde’s mouth after she heard Ariel’s words. Instead, an endlessly serious expression began to appear on Heilde’s face. She continued, "Did you know? I love my brother-in-law. I admire him as a strong and great man. My instincts as a female dragon absolutely do not allow me to forget the extraordinary figure my brother-in-law has shown. I... I also want to be by his side..."
"Hm... What about you, Ariel? Are you sure about your feelings?"
An expression of doubt involuntarily appeared on Ariel’s face, which had previously shown a serious expression. In Ariel’s past life, she had considered polygamous relationships to be forbidden. Therefore, Ariel felt unsure whether she should make herself one of her brother-in-law’s women or not.
"I don’t know. I don’t accept this polygamous relationship... But I think I really love my brother-in-law. I think that’s my real answer."
"You two... Sister understands. Then show your sister that, in less than two years, both of you can develop your romantic relationship with Cien. That way, I will let Cien decide whether he should make you one of his women or not."
Without realizing it, expressions full of hope began to appear on Heilde’s and Ariel’s faces. It was rare for the two sisters to ask their older sister for something. For the first time, Heilde and Ariel asked Athena for something.
Usually, both Heilde and Ariel would ask their father and mother for something. However, because of the current issue regarding the feelings they had for their brother-in-law, it was not something they could ask for freely. In any case, there was no chance whatsoever that Heilde and Ariel would receive Lilith’s and Lucius’s approval to become two of their brother-in-law’s wives.
