Ch.345345. Let’s Live Happily. [END]

“Now, Sir Selden Alphonse, you may enter.”

With a short deep breath, I stepped into the wedding hall.

Thousands of flowers were in full bloom, and silk fabrics adorned the pillars inside the imperial palace.

The sky was clear and refreshing.

I walked majestically toward the central hall of the imperial palace.

“Huff…”

How many things had happened before this moment arrived?

War and political struggles.

Through that process, my connection with the two imperial princesses naturally became intertwined.

As I arrived with mixed emotions, the princesses greeted me, each wearing wedding attire of different colors.

The Etherian Princess was displaying her noble figure in a pure white dress, while Princess Sirin boasted elegance in a silver dress.

“Selden Alphonse, do you swear to protect these two princesses for life and live as a member of the imperial family?”

I straightened my back at the High Priest’s question.

“I swear.”

Then, the High Priest looked at the two princesses alternately.

“Do you swear to accept Selden Alphonse as your lifelong companion?”

“I swear.”

“I swear.”

Quiet but firm voices.

Next, I handed over rings as sacred tokens of the vow.

As this was my first marriage experience, thousands of emotions crossed my mind in a short time.

“Hah… I’m nervous.”

The Etherian Princess smiled gently at my words.

“It’s alright. Everyone is nervous their first time.”

And Princess Sirin followed with her own words.

“Let’s live happily together.”

With those words, beautiful melodies once again resonated in my ears.

The vague weight and responsibility of truly no longer being alone.

I waved to the guests attending the wedding and expressed my gratitude.

*

“A-Are you alright, sir?”

I sighed briefly toward Federicks, who was looking at me with concerned eyes.

“No, I’m not.”

“The dark circles have come down to your cheeks, sir.”

“Indeed they have.”

“What on earth happens every night that you can’t get any sleep?”

Bedtime with the two princesses that began on the first night.

It was good at first.

But how can a person expend energy every night?

Without a day’s rest, a month had already passed.

Now I was almost afraid to enter the bedroom.

“This isn’t what I built my stats for…”

“…Pardon?”

“Never mind. What are the princesses doing? They seemed to be going somewhere together after dinner.”

“They’re taking a walk with Lucien.”

How can they have such stamina?

And since they both have excellent figures, it’s hard to ignore the visual aspect even when I’m exhausted.

Even in such a tired state, when I enter the bedroom, the fellow attached to my lower body always musters strength.

Should I say I’m surprised at myself every day?

Anyway, I needed to get them pregnant as soon as possible.

Without that, if this situation continued any longer, I truly felt I wouldn’t live out my natural lifespan.

“Shouldn’t Lucien’s vacation be over by now?”

“Even so, she’s spending a lot of time with the princesses after getting permission to go out.”

“Hmm… I see. What about Jawil Wilson?”

“Isn’t he about to marry Clara soon? Jawil Wilson is also spending quite busy days.”

In the end, Jawil Wilson confessed to Clara.

My constant pressure on him to hurry up with marriage, thinking I couldn’t die alone, was a big help.

‘When will he understand my struggles? Or maybe not? Perhaps Jawil Wilson would actually enjoy this.’

I sighed briefly and shook my head from side to side.

“I thought marriage would stabilize life, but why is it so hard?”

“Isn’t the weight of being the head of a household naturally heavy? Baron Byron must have had it tough too.”

“But father didn’t marry two women.”

“That’s why you probably need to work twice as hard as Baron Byron, don’t you think?”

“…I suppose so.”

Federicks took a step forward and spoke.

“By the way, is it alright to decline Emperor Malius’s invitation to the imperial palace?”

“Ah, the one I declined a few days ago?”

“Yes, it’s already been a month since your marriage, but you haven’t visited the imperial palace even once.”

“If I go too often from the beginning, it creates bad habits.”

“…Pardon?”

“Besides, Emperor Malius would prefer to see his grandchildren as soon as possible rather than have me visit the palace.”

Federicks wiped the sweat flowing on his forehead, seemingly perplexed.

“I-I see…”

“When you send a letter, just explain it well. Say that I’m struggling every night to fulfill the Emperor’s wishes.”

“…Understood. And Emperor Malius says he’s transferring the academy that Principal Giselle ran to our side.”

“Estella Academy?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

I narrowed my brows intensely toward Federicks.

“Lake Academy is just starting to run well now, isn’t it?”

“It seems he’s giving it as compensation. And the pleasure district that Principal Giselle operated also seems to be coming to our side.”

“We can give that to Doknyo. She’s the one who helped resolve the situation by providing good information about Principal Giselle.”

“I’ll proceed with that arrangement.”

I raised my head while scanning Federicks’ report.

“Olivia… is about to start dating?”

“It’s not certain yet, but according to Bianca, things seem unusual between her and a mercenary group member.”

“Wow, that’s welcome news!”

“Bianca seems to be putting in a lot of effort, reporting daily.”

I’m sure she is.

She’d be desperate since I promised to clear all her debts.

I showed a somewhat worried look.

“She’s not neglecting her regular duties, is she?”

“No, she’s keeping up well with the Guardian Corps training.”

“Lord Robert will be delighted to hear this news.”

“…Indeed. He dreams of seeing his daughter married.”

“Yes, if Bianca lacks funds to proceed with Olivia’s marriage, support her generously.”

“Understood. And also…”

Federicks, who had trailed off, straightened his back and continued.

“This is my personal opinion, but what do you think about entrusting Astella Academy to Lord Robert?”

“It sounds good, but would he accept the position of principal?”

“Isn’t he already teaching students at Lake Academy?”

“That was a temporary proposal, different from being the principal of Astella Academy.”

“I have an idea.”

I adjusted my posture and smiled faintly.

“What is it?”

“What if we send the mercenary group member who’s getting along well with Lady Olivia to Astella?”

“Hmm… Astella Academy would need someone to protect it anyway, right?”

“Exactly!”

“We’ll have to think about that after things progress well.”

After finishing work, another dark evening arrived.

I got up and headed to the bedroom with heavy steps.

I had an uneasy feeling that I wouldn’t be able to sleep properly tonight either.

Like a pig being dragged to slaughter, perhaps?

With a deep sigh, I opened the bedroom door.

Creeeeak-!

“Master, you’re here?”

I looked alternately at the Etherian Princess and Princess Sirin with a surprised expression.

They were both wearing maid outfits, weren’t they?

“W-What is this!?”

Then, the more extroverted Princess Sirin poked her head out toward me.

“Lately, you’ve seemed so tired, so we thought we’d change the atmosphere a bit.”

“…Huh?”

“What do you think? It was my sister’s idea, isn’t it nice?”

I opened my mouth wide and turned my gaze to the Etherian Princess.

“Your idea…?”

At my words, the Etherian Princess cleared her throat with a reddened face.

“Ahem! Seeing how much you’ve been struggling every night lately, I thought of a solution.”

They weren’t just ordinary maid outfits.

Somehow altered to reveal the sides of their chests so transparently.

It was around this time that the foolish fellow attached to my lower body started to gain strength again.

“…Anyway, did you have a good walk with Lucien?”

“Yes, I want to have a child as precious as Lucien soon.”

All roads lead to pregnancy.

Princess Sirin also subtly pressed her body closer and smiled broadly.

“Master, what position would you like to try tonight?”

“W-Why are you getting more confident as time passes?”

“Why should a married couple be shy with each other?”

As I took a deep breath, the Etherian Princess and Princess Sirin exchanged glances, then knelt before me and slowly opened their mouths.

“Husband… where would you like to put it first today?”

“I’d prefer my mouth first.”

Hah…

I certainly didn’t have these preferences before marriage, but the fellow attached to my lower body kept getting excited.

My lower half felt painful as if blood was rushing to it.

I also slowly undressed.

Then I curled up the corners of my mouth toward the Etherian Princess and Princess Sirin.

“Huff… alright, who shall I ravish first today?”
