Polygamy.

It also existed on Earth.

However, it was abolished due to gender equality and inefficiency.

“.. Do you mean.. my.. opinion..”

I have lived in such a society for 24 years.

however..

“Yes, Berador. How is the princess?”

“Ki.. Don’t be nervous.. Be honest..”

The mother smiled and asked what the second bride was like, and the princess told her not to be nervous and said she was nervous.

My head suddenly starts pounding.

“Can I think about it for a moment?”

“Do whatever you want. Because marriage is important.”

“.. Yes. Please feel free to think about it..”

I looked at my mother, who told me to do whatever I wanted, and the slightly depressed princess, then closed my eyes.

It’s not that I haven’t thought about it.

This is because harems accounted for a significant portion of the fantasy novels commonly seen on Earth.

Of course, this also applies to the novels I read.

So, it’s not a big feeling of rejection, but I have one question.

‘Is it worth that much to me?’

I, who lived on Earth, can immediately answer no, but I, here, need to think a little more.

First of all, in this world there are fewer men than women.

Overwhelmingly, too.

Therefore, just being a man increases your value.

Next is the family name.

Five years of living in this world.

It’s been three days since I started understanding the language.

If you combine 5 years of life and 3 days of events, the value of the Amorae family increases exponentially.

My eyes, which had been closed for thinking, opened and I asked myself a question.

‘Then is there any need to refuse it?’

My thoughts on that question.

“.. Good.”

It was ‘no’.

Because it would be nice if there were many people who loved me.

After hearing my answer, the princess’s downcast expression relaxed and a smile appropriate for her age appeared on her face.

“..Are you that happy..”

“..? Of course, right?”

“Ah..”

The thought accidentally came out of my mouth.

“Sorry..”

“It’s okay.”

I immediately apologized and the princess accepted the apology as if it was no big deal.

“But Berador you need to know your worth,”

“..You mean my value..”

What I was thinking about just now became the topic of conversation.

I was curious about what other people thought of my worth, so I focused on the princess’s words.

“First of all, do you know what the ratio of men and women is in this world?”

“I heard it was 3 to 7.”

I’m sure my mother said that.

“It’s not wrong at all. But that’s the rate of birth.”

““..Yes?”“

My mother also asked me at the same time whether she didn’t know this part.

”If that’s the case then surely..“

”That’s right. Rather than giving false information from the imperial family, it means not giving the complete truth.“

How on earth was the sex ratio so messed up that the imperial family had to hide it?

”Only 1 in 4 males survive their childhood, that is, until the age of 4.“

”…“

”Therefore, the adult ratio goes without saying.“

”.. I see..“

Yes, even though the sex ratio was 3 to 7, there were very few men in sight.

Even on the way in the carriage, I saw more men than I could count on two hands.

”So, just because he is a man, Berador’s value is quite high. If you include the Amorae family… it’s something I can’t even imagine.“

As I listened to that, one person suddenly came to mind.

Na Han-tae had one older brother.

Berger von Amorae.

How high is the value of the older brother, the eldest son of the Amorae family?

”Then the value of my older brother Berger von Amorae is…“

”Ah..“

”Berador..“

”To..?“

However, when I said my brother’s name, the princess’s embarrassed expression,

”Let’s talk about it separately later.“

I saw my mother’s angry face.

‘why..?’

”The princess. I’m going to have a quick chat with my son,“

”..Yes..Yes.. Please..“

”Berador? Follow me.“

”..?“

That day, I experienced my mother’s anger for the first time.

No, in the first place.. I wonder if he knew that his brother was a eunuch.. He was just starting to understand the language..

It is even said to be a completely kept secret!

***

”Did you understand?“

”..I’m sorry..“

After receiving my mother’s anger for two hours, I lay in bed in a half-fazed state.

Only then did my mother realize that she had been upset and stroked my head as I lay down.

”Still.. don’t hate Berger too much..“

Berger has been tormenting me since I was young.

Although the bullying disappeared about a year ago.

I think I know why the bullying disappeared, and I also think I know why it bullied me before.

It must have been to protect one’s self-worth.

But one day, Berger’s tyranny, which had been behaving like a bastard, extended to the animals, and that animal happened to be a hunting dog…

”But mother..“

”Why are you doing that?“

”That fact.. I didn’t tell you..“

”…“

One thing you need to know here.

No one told me that fact.

”Mi.. I’m sorry..“

”…“

Mother’s stroking continued for a while.

I wasn’t upset by any means, but I didn’t say anything until dinner was finished.

I’ll say it again, I’m not upset at all.

***

That evening, Evesoruta von Agnes lay down on her bed and tried to sleep, but she could not sleep at all.

When I close my eyes, I keep thinking of the boy I met for the first time today.

‘Why are you doing this…’

-My heart is pounding

My heart is beating so hard and fast that I can hear it.

Due to abnormal symptoms that she experienced for the first time in her life, she tried to call Martina to see a doctor, but she just smiled and left.

My face starts to heat up like before.

”I guess..“

There was no one in the room, but she began to speak nonetheless.

”I guess I should go ask what happened..“

”…“

”I’m definitely not going because I want to see it. Not even a man.“

”…“

”Keuhum..“

-Kkeee..

The princess’s door opened, and the princess, wearing pink bunny pajamas, went out to look for Berador.

But there was something she hadn’t thought of.

”Berador’s room..“

She was seriously offended.

”Haha.. I don’t give up.“

Finally, I found Berador’s room by grabbing a passing maid and leading the way.

She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

-smart.

”Are you sleeping?“

”No. Please come in.“

Fortunately, I was relieved to hear the answer and opened the door.

***

‘Hmm.. what’s going on this night..’

I was sleeping a little while ago and woke up to a knock on the door.

The person who knocked was none other than Princess Agnes.

-Kkeee..

Anyway, I have one question.

”Are animal pajamas trendy these days?..“

If Bea and the princess are wearing animal clothes… I guess I’m behind the trend.

”That’s right..“

The princess, who blushed slightly at my question, came in carrying a pillow just like Bea.

‘Is it the same development?’

”What’s going on?“

I asked even though I already knew the reason.

Because in terms of rank, I am lower than her.

”There is something I want to say.“

”What is it.“

The princess began speaking, avoiding eye contact.

”When I close my eyes, I think of you.“

”.. to..“

”Then my heart starts beating rapidly. So that it is strong enough for your ears to hear.“

”…“

”Your face gets hot and your body shrinks as if you have done something embarrassing.“

”…“

”Do you know what the reason for this is? Or is Berador the same as me?“

I didn’t think much of it.

I thought she had come for the same reason as Bea, but the princess spoke very seriously.

What should I say?

Be it Bea or the princess, it doesn’t particularly feel like a woman to me.

Because it’s strange to think of a 5-year-old like that in the first place.

The princess was too young and delicate to tell the truth.

”.. It is.. excitement or..“

”Or..?“

”.. It can be seen as love.“

”..eh..?“

The princess stiffened as if trying to understand the situation, and her face began to turn red.

”Hehe..“

-Soak.

In the end, he fell down in his seat with a sound of strength being lost.

”Princess?“

”Huh..“

He smiled bitterly as he looked at the princess, who couldn’t even respond properly, as if her brain had stopped functioning due to excessive shame, and then took her to bed.

”Lie down here.“

”Heh..“

After laying the princess on the bed, he put her on a pillow and covered her with a blanket.

”Hehe..“

The princess, whose eyes were out of focus and making a weak sound, was closed with a hand.

-Flash.

-Flash..

-Flash..

I saw this while lying down on Earth watching a video.

It is said that young children actually fall asleep if you keep their eyes closed.

I continued to ask the princess to see if anything would work.

”Nose..“

It was correct.

”Ugh.. It’s my friend..“

At only 5 years old, he became engaged to two women.

However, my value is so high that I don’t know how scary the sky is.

”I don’t like too many things..“

How many women will be caught in the future?

After thinking about the future for a while, I fell asleep next to the princess.
