Chapter 353: Discussing Plans for the Future (1/2)

Having spent his wedding night with his new wife, Berengar awoke later than he usually would. After all, he had his fill of food and wine the night before and was in the mood to sleep in. It was not until roughly noon that he awoke to see Adela still asleep by his side.

The young woman was still tired from their joint exercise the night before. As such, Berengar kissed her on the forehead before rising from his bed and getting dressed. He decided to take the day off from his usual fitness regimen and instead approached the dining hall for his morning coffee and breakfast.

As he sat down at the table, he saw Honoria and Linde sitting alongside Henrietta and Berengar's two children. It would appear that they had been waiting some time for his arrival. His two lovers immediately began to inquire about Berengar's night with Adela with wicked grins on their lips. Linde, who was gracefully sipping on a cup of coffee, was the first to speak about this issue.

”So, how is the little Queen doing? I hope you weren't too rough with her.”

Berengar chuckled as he sat down at the table; shortly after that, a mug of coffee was brought over, prepared in just the way he liked it. He began to speak about his previous night's conquest with a gaze of pride as he drank from the cup.

”It could not have gone better. She and I are very compatible; maybe it is because we're related? Who knows... anyway, you might have some competition going forward. After all, Adela is now my lawful wife, and though she may be inexperienced, she is a quick learner.”

An enviable expression formed on Linde's face as she lightly bit down upon her exquisite lips. The truth was that she did not sleep well the night before. It was the first time in a long time that Berengar was home and yet not sleeping by her side. One could say she was dreadfully uncomfortable. At this moment, a brilliant idea appeared in her head, and as such, A mocking smile appeared on Linde's lips as she began to tease her lover.

”That is fine by me; Honoria and I had a girls' night, it would appear you aren't needed to have a good time.”

Berengar gazed up from his coffee mug and into the eyes of Linde as he tried to determine whether or not she was telling the truth. Although he had said in the past that if he were gone and Linde ever felt horny, she and Honoria should entertain themselves, he had never actually expected them to do so. It wasn't until he looked at Honoria's confused expression that he knew Linde was bluffing. As such, a wicked smile appeared on his face as he called his lover's bluff.

”Really? Then I guess I will spend the next week with my wife; after all, I wouldn't want to spoil your girls' nights.”

Linde began to panic internally; seeing as her attempt to make Berengar jealous had backfired spectacularly, she quickly thought of a solution to the problem at hand. As such, Linde grabbed ahold of her lover's hand before whispering in his ear.

”You are more than welcome to join us next time, master...”

Berengar chuckled in response to this and fired back in a flirtatious manner.

”Oh? But then it wouldn't be a girl's night, would it?”

Honoria, who watched Linde and Berengar battle each other with their wits, smiled silently as she drank from her coffee. After witnessing Linde's tortured expression, Honoria couldn't help but get involved in the affair and quickly began to side with Berengar on the matter.

”I honestly don't know what Linde is talking about; I slept in the harem room last night by myself. Maybe she got a little too drunk and hooked up with some random girl at the party, thinking it was me. As you already know, I am always willing to share you, daddy!”

Linde could hardly believe her ears, Honoria and her were supposed to have an alliance against Adela, and yet the bitch had just stabbed her in the back so ruthlessly. As such, she glared daggers towards the treacherous princess, who simply stuck out her tongue in response.

Seeing how the conversation was starting to get out of hand, Berengar decided to end the whole charade and accepted Honoria's request.

”Sure, Just don't let Adela find out; you know how much of a prude she is.”

The moment Berengar said this, he heard a voice call out to him from behind and instantly felt a chill go down his spine.

”Oh, I'm a prude, am I? Just what exactly is it that you three are hiding behind my back?”

Henrietta, who was watching the conversation, remained silent once more. She was old enough now to know what Berengar and his harem were fighting about, and as such, she merely smiled as she enjoyed her coffee and her meal. Berengar had dug his own grave by having three women by his side, and now he had to lie in it.

Berengar immediately turned around to see Adela standing behind him with her arms crossed and a pouting expression on her face. He had no idea that she had woken up and snuck up behind him. As such, she smiled awkwardly as he attempted to calm his young wife.
