Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

"—With that being said, I decided to marry Dane. I already know what would be your answers, but I want Dane to personally hear them directly from you all."

In one of the drawing rooms of the royal palace, my family and I, alongside my two fiancees, were gathered to formally declare that I wanted to marry Dane. There was actually no need for this step; it was that everything had to be recorded or documented.

"Just like we said before, we don't mind if you want to add Dane into your marriage list." Mother said.

"You can take as many women as you like," Mom added. "But you have to make sure to take the responsibilities and pay attention to each one of them."

"I'll always remember that, Mom." I said, and then shifted my attention to my sister.

"I have no problem as well. However, now that she is soon to become your wife, she should have learned at least a fraction of our family's private matters. You know, our family's secrets."

Now, here was the problem. Since Dane would become my wife someday, she had the right to know what was going on within, especially, the kind of relationship I had with my family, which was actually incestuous.

"Have you ever told her about that?"

"Well, I remember that I told her about me having many women."

"What is your sister talking about, Raphael?"

"It's something that I am making sure to tell you in the future."

"I see."

No matter how much we hide it from her, Dane would eventually learn it in some other way. That would definitely hurt her if she found it out.

I did not really want to lie or cheat on Dane or any of my wives. Once I gained enough courage, I would definitely be the one to tell her about our family's deepest and darkest secrets.

Speaking of my wives...

"Raphael marrying another woman would lessen my time together with him. But even so, I am happy as long as he is satisfied."

"I knew that Dane would need an heir for her title once she became a noblewoman. But even without that reasoning, I still would allow Raphael to marry her."

Iris and Sophia expressed their opinions, respectively, and gave Dane nods of approval.

"See that, Dane?" I said. "Everyone is doing fine with us, so there is no need to worry about it."

"Thank you so much for accepting me, ladies."

Dane took a bow to show her appreciation to my family. Now that my family had shown their approval for Dane, all I had to do was to seal it tangibly.

"Dane." I stood up from my seat, which Dane followed suit.

"Yes, Your Highness?"

Dane turned her body toward me when I called her name out. Immediately, I put my hand into my trouser pocket and grabbed something that was supposed to be a surprise for her, which made her curious.

Meanwhile, from the third person's point of view, my family eventually knew what I was going to do, and some of them even gasped in silence for a second. Not to ruin the plan, they immediately regained their composure before Dane noticed it.

The surprise was actually made out of material that she was specialized in—metal. Her Unique Skill: Magnetician not only could manipulate metallic objects, but she could also perceive their presence up to the atomic level. So she could basically manipulate every mineral in our body at will.

For that reason, I coated it with Perfect Concealment to hide it from her. The moment I removed the concealment, Dane immediately got a picture of its shape, and her eyes opened wide as if she could not believe it.

"Your Highness, that is...!"

"Dane, I know that you are aware of what I am about to do, and you are surprised by how sudden it is. But I want you to know that this is how I am committed to you."

"Your Highness..."

After that, I pulled out my hand from my pocket and showed my surprise for her. It was a plain yet beautiful orichalcum ring.

"By this ring, I want to tell you that I love you so much, Dane. Will you marry me?"

"Yes, Raphael! Yes!"

Hearing her reply, I took her left hand and gently put the ring into her ring finger. We were both smiling ear to ear as I was doing it. She was so excited that she addressed me casually in front of others, which I was happy to hear.

The audience was feeling the same as well; they were genuinely happy for us. Once Dane had equipped the ring, the drawing room was filled with a round of applause accompanied by congratulatory remarks.

From that moment, I was happily engaged with my third wife, although we did not announce it to the public yet.

◆◇◆◇◆◇

At night...

I had been engaged to Dane, and she would become my wife. It means that she had to learn what dark secrets lied within our family, and it was better if I would be the one who would reveal that to her later on.

Naturally, that level of revelation would shatter her heart and probably destroy her faith in humanity. I truly did not want her to be hurt that much.

In order to at least lessen the damage if I were to drop the bomb, I had her learn about me and my family bit by bit. It was like spoon-feeding her the details of how debauched my family and I were.

Tonight, we were going to celebrate our entanglement, so I brought Dane to the dungeon so that I could introduce her to my other women.

"I see. So Raphael took some of the fallen noblewoman of Astley to become his personal maids as well as lovers."

"That's why we are so grateful for Master Raphael. If it were not for him, I don't know what fate my daughter and I would fall."

"So it's true that Raphael has been loving women who are older than me."

"That's the least shocking thing you would expect of him. I advise you to prepare yourself and your mind in advance."

"Okay. I'll take that in mind."

After introducing Dane to my other women, we then proceeded to the master bedroom alongside Sarah for a threesome. I chose Sarah to accompany us tonight.

Even though she loved her sister, Mary, Sarah reassured me that she would not touch Dane inappropriately without her and my permission. Also, I actually did not mind if Dane were to like other women as long as they were within my harem, but I highly doubted that as she was straight.

Being my future wife, Dane would be joining me with Iris and Sophia in bed. I had been doing Dane by myself, so I requested this for her to get used to group sex so that she would not be uncomfortable with my other fiancees once we did it together.

Dane and Sarah were having a chat on the bed right now before we started. They hail from the Kingdom of Astley, so they probably shared some things. After this night, Dane and I would probably do it with my other maids, and we might have an orgy someday.

A few minutes later, we started the threesome.
