Chapter 75: I just do what I want. (1/2)
Using the connection to his wives as a guide, Victor managed to find Scathach's mansion.
”Hey, Girls. I came back- ” Before Victor could finish his sentence, a Violet-shaped rocket attacked him.
”Darling~! Darling~! Darling...?”
Violet stops snuggling and smells Victor's clothes:
”A woman...” His eyes darkened, but soon she wore a confused expression, ”Wrong, is that a little girl...?”
”Hmm...” Violet pulls away from Victor and looks at him, ”Did you get your hands on a little girl?”
”Kakakaka…” Victor laughs, then he looks at Violet and says, ”When I was visiting the capital, a strange little girl approached me.”
He started to explain to her his meeting with Ophis and Elizabeth.
In the middle of the explanation, Ruby and Sasha also appeared, accompanied by Lacus and Pepper.
”Yuki... Are you okay?” Pepper asked, a little worried.
”Do I look okay?” Yuki commented with a tired face.
Her elegant appearance was totally worn out, and even her hair was messed up.
”Ugh.” Yuki put her hand over her mouth, she felt like throwing up.
”I think you should take a shower...”
”I'm still working-” Before she could finish speaking, she felt someone patting her head.
”You're off your job today. Go rest.” Victor chuckled, then went back to explaining what happened to his wives.
”...” Yuki exhibited a small smile, she nodded her head and soon entered the mansion.
...
In a room at Scathach's mansion.
Victor was sitting on the couch, Violet was on his left, Sasha and Ruby were on his right.
”...Darling...How can you get in so much trouble when you're alone?” Ruby asked in disbelief.
'Did he just go to a random shop and suddenly meet the king's two youngest daughters? Bulshit!' If Ruby didn't know Victor's personality and trusted her husband, she definitely wouldn't believe this story.
”In my defense, I was walking around the capital having fun, I didn't look for trouble, and it was Ophis who approached me and started calling me 'Father'.”
”But you could avoid that by turning down Ophis's request, right? You just didn't do it because you found it interesting.”
”...” Victor couldn't deny Sasha's words.
”See? He's a lot like my mom.” Pepper laughed as she spoke to Eleonor.
”Shh,” Eleonor put her hand over her mouth in a silent gesture, she looked like she was about to watch a very interesting scene.
”...” Pepper pouted cutely.
”Letting my mother take care of you for six months was a big mistake... You ended up acquiring her quirks of looking for problems.” Ruby commented.
”Kakakaka, no need to be so upset, I know what I'm doing, and I do what I do on purpose.”
”Husband, you don't know! They are-”
Victor interrupted, ”They're from the king's family, and they're definitely going to investigate me, and they're going to find out about our relationship, right? And that can cause problems because some of the children or relatives of the king will not like this situation. They will think that the three families have become allies.” He commented with a smile on his face.
”And some of those relatives are definitely going to come looking for trouble.”
”…” Sasha was silent.
”Sasha... My beloved wife, I'm not stupid.” He patted Sasha's head.
”Then why-.” Violet, who was silent, was going to ask why he did it even though he knew the consequences, but Victor interrupted her:
”I did it because I wanted to.”
”...” She was silent.
”I do what I want, whenever I want, and wherever I want. I won't limit myself because I'm afraid that 'X' or 'Y' person will be upset with my actions.”
”And I'm not ashamed of our relationship either. I love you girls. And this is definitely not wrong.”
”…” Violet, Sasha, and Ruby's cheeks turned a little red at the sudden confession.
”I will live my life however I want, and if someone doesn't like it, they are most welcome to knock on my door. I will rip their guts out and hang it on the gate as a warning.” He spoke with a smile that showed all his sharp teeth.
”But what if you get it wrong…? I mean, what if you make a wrong decision?” Eleonor asked.
”If I make a mistake, I make a mistake… I'll just have to live with the consequences of my mistake. I'm not a perfect being who never makes mistakes, and I also don't want to live by planning every step I take. That isn't living; that's just a way of mentally torturing yourself.”
”...” Eleonor was silent, she seemed to be thinking of something.
”And if I get it wrong…” He showed a gentle smile, ”I also have my wives to advise me, and say something like; 'Victor, you idiot, you made a mistake.'”
”I'm not alone... My wives are my greatest allies.”
”...” Sasha, Violet, and Ruby showed a small smile on their faces.
They were so happy that Victor thought so deeply about them.
”Tell me, my wives. Was the decision I made today a mistake?” He asked, still smiling.
