「And so, what do I need to do? What do I need to do to destroy the idea of you getting married away」
「T-There’s an easy way」
Iris’s face blushed even more and said stutteringly.
「K-Kakeru only need to make me his」
Embrace her, huh.
「I only need to do that? Why? Explain it to me that I understand」
「……I got it」
Iris made a solemn face.
「Aegina Kingdom’s harem is famous for being『deep』」
「Deep? It doesn’t mean that it’s underground right?」
Iris nodded and added.
「It’s deep. It is famous because no matter the identity of that woman is, she would never leave that harem once again. Especially those of the King’s or Crown Prince’s. There was no one recorded in history that has left from that place」
「Ah! It’s probably different from what Kakeru’s thinking right now. They just cannot get out. There would be lots of court ladies that would be given in the harem, and those who entered would be able to live a luxurious life without inconvenience. For example, they can get fruits that are out of season with just a simple word」
「He〜」
「However, they cannot leave there」
「Why is that?」
「There are two ostensible reasons. One is, since they are the consort of the King or the Crown Prince, they should not get involved with other men. It is so that the royal family’s blood would remain pure. Since it is the woman who would give birth to their inheritor, it is for the best to not let her get involved with other men」
「I see. Eunuchs and court ladies would only be the ones entering the harem other than the King huh」
「In Aegina, they even remove eunuchs. After all, there are those who feign that they are castrated. It will absolutely not happen with just women」
「I see」
「Another reason. For about 100 years ago, in Aegina, the Queen at that time replaced the King and took the helm of the state, used the country for her whims, and made it decline. From then on, the actions and authority of the Queen was very limited, and only exists in the harem」
「I see」
「I-In short」
Iris who have smoothly explained until then stuttered with a red face.
「Those women who are someone else’s, cannot enter the harem in the first place」
『Only virgins are gathered to protect their pure blood. It is quite natural』
「It’s like that huh. Un, I’m completely convinced now. It’s simple and easy to understand」
「Thenーー」
「But, I refuse」
「Eh?」
Iris was dumbstruck.
「W-Why?」
「Doing that means that the engagement will be broken because『you are no longer suitable because you became damaged goods』right?」
「That’s true……」
「Even if it is for that, I cannot endure letting my woman get treated as『damaged goods』」
「Kakeru……」
Iris got teary eyed.
『Kukuku, do you want me to tell you good way?』
「What is it?」
『It’s simple. You only need to exterminate Aegina’s royal family completely』
Eleanor said interestingly.
「I see, that’s really simple」
「N-No, you must not. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but you must not do that」
『What sharp girl』
「I mustn’t?」
「You mustn’t……you had that kind of face」
『Kukuku』
「I won’t do that, but what should I do?」
「Uhm……can we ask the Great Sage for advice?」
「Althea?」
Iris nodded.
「I just thought that if it’s the Great Sage Althea, she might know a good way」
「Yosh, let’s go to Althea then. We’ll go instantly so grab on」
I reached out my hand.
Iris happily took my hand.
When I was about to warp after taking out the warp feather.
『Otou-san. The King’s wifey, only the King can meet her?』
「Un? Are you talking about earlier? Well, that’s right」
『Then, it’s the same with Hikari』
「……he?」
『Since only Otou-san can use Hikari, it’s the same with the King’s wifey』
I got stunned by what Hikari said.
Eleanor seemed to laugh out loud while holding her stomach.
