For the full version, see the commentary starting with 158; there's nothing else I can do.
Back home
I had the maids buy a house for Aisha.
It's not too far from our home, about a half-hour walk.
I also introduced Aisha to my wives.
Roxy and Eris were completely stunned, their eyes wide as they stared at Aisha for a moment and then at Aisha.
Right? Shouldn't you be shocked?
I was also very shocked when I first saw it...
However, Aisha did not show any shock.
She simply looked Aisha up and down, then nodded.
Okay, that's it.
He didn't say anything, nor did he take any other action.
That's all...
"Alright, I'll call you if there's a mission."
"Lord Rudeus... what do you do when you're not on a mission?"
"If there are no missions, stay on standby. If my children go out and I'm not there, or if my wives go out and I'm not with them, you secretly follow them, understand?"
"Yes, Lord Rudeus!"
Well, I have to say, despite having Aisha's face, she was so respectful to me.
It's really a bit strange...
A few days after arriving home
First, we had a meal with my parents and in-laws to celebrate Christina's birth.
During the dinner, Paul handed me a letter.
It was sent by my maternal grandmother.
Paul put his arm around my shoulder and said this.
"Aren't you going to Millis for your friend's wedding? You can visit your grandma while you're there, though you don't have to, she's a real pain..."
"Is that so...?"
"Yes, you would never like her."
While Paul was speaking ill of his mother-in-law, Zenith appeared from behind Paul.
I thought she would argue back and then give Paul a piece of her mind.
However, she could only nod helplessly.
"Mom said all the children should go... To be honest, I don't want my granddaughters to go..."
Why do you say that?
"My mother... well... is someone who values bloodlines a lot. Eris is alright, but your other three wives don't have any pure noble blood, so she definitely won't like them..."
"Well, then I won't go see her, lest I upset my wives..."
Zenith smiled helplessly.
"I wrote a letter to my mother, and she... I don't know if she's changed, but you should still go and see her..."
"All right"...
A few days after the dinner, Cliff's invitation arrived...
Because of the teleportation array, all you need to do is teleport to the outskirts of Millis, and then take a carriage into the city...
Yes, lately it's been mostly happy things...
Christina's birth, a friend's wedding, and Windsor's recent rise in cheerfulness thanks to the arrival of maid Pursena Adoldia...
Of course, I'm not saying Windsor is more talkative or that her personality has changed in any way...
Lately, I often see Windsor smiling as she pets Big White or Pursena Adoldia...
Everything is going in a good direction, if there's anything wrong...
Then Aisha will throw a tantrum.
Um...
