Alex was lying down on the bed while Esdeath was in his embrace, resting her head on his chest. She closed her eyes while enjoying her lover's caresses on her long, light blue hair.
'I'm so happy right now.'
"So, why did you come here?"
"I couldn't take it anymore, so I decided to come here. By the way, Mirellia is eager to see you."
"Then, both of you can come to my mansion in the forest, I want to introduce you to my wives as well. "
"Hoooo~ our Alex is so daring ~."
"You know me well," Alex said while laughing.
"Okay, I will do it as you said, but I need a reward."
"What kind of reward?!"
Esdeath smiled and...
...
The competition ended and the winner, of course, was Alex, then a party was held at night marking the end of the competition.
After that everyone went to their dorm while Alex and his wives went back to their mansion along with Esdeath and Mirellia, both of them decided to stay the night at his mansion, of course, after informing the palace about that or a problem may occur.
Everyone was in the living room sitting around Alex while relaxing their minds and bodies by drinking some lemon and mint tea.
"Ahhhh~, this lemon tea is so good~. Who made it?" said Mirellia with a satisfied expression.
"My wife made it, glad you liked it," Alex said proudly while looking at Anna.
Anna smiled sweetly at her husband and kissed him on the cheek. Then she hugged him as she was sitting beside him.
Mirellia and Esdeath, who saw this scene, felt something tingle in their hearts, something that every woman feels: jealousy.
They were jealous of Anna, as she has Alex's affection and love and can behave like a docile cat with him. They wanted to be like her.
Alex noticed the look in their eyes and smiled at them which made them blush as they had been caught by him.
"You don't need to be like that, you can be like her if you want. Just say it and I will take both of you as my wives."Alex said honestly as he doesn't like to lie to them in this matter. The look in their eyes and their body language say it all, especially Esdeath as she showed that to him today.
Both of them felt warm in their hearts as Alex accepted them.
They looked at each other and nodded, and then Mirellia looked at Alex "I loved you for years and waited for this moment."
She took a deep breath "I want to be your wife." although she said it simply her eyes were explaining it all. The love in her eyes was true and came from her heart.
Alex smiled "Umu, well said, my dear wife~."
She blushed immediately as this was the first time a man had called her like that, but she felt so happy right now.
Then Alex turned his gaze to Esdeath who smiled and parted her beautiful lips "Beat me in a fight and I will be your wife!"
"So honest, aren't you?" Alex said in amusement.
"You know me, I won't submit without a fight!"
"But you know, I'm so strong that if you told me to fight you with my full power I would refuse even if you hate me."
She smiled warmly "I know and I won't tell you to do that. We will fight with only our swords and nothing else. The winner will submit to the loser."
"This means that if I lose I will be yours and vice versa, right?"
"Yes."
"Very well. Let's do it now, I have a place for our fight in the backyard."
No one in the room objected or said anything as they knew very well who is Esdeath and her personality, especially Ghislaine, as she was a person who had a similar personality to her until Alex defeated her and made her his wife, but that doesn't mean that she abandoned her battle maniac nature, she still the same. The difference is that she submitted to a strong man who is her dear husband.
They went to a wide space in the backyard where Ringuko and Isane train.
Both, Alex and Esdeath, took their respective weapon, with Esdeath wielding a long rapier and Alex wielding a Katana.
Both of them stood in front of each other taking their respective stance. Alex decided to only use his sword skills and physical capabilities to fight her because if he used his full power or friction of it, bad things would happen.
Immediately, their bodies blurred and appeared again with their weapons clashing with each other.
Clang clang clang clang...
The sounds of their swords clashing with each other were high and sparks could be seen from their clash.
Esdeath twisted her body and sent a strong attack at Alex, aiming at his heart, but Alex immediately blocked it with his Katana and sent a roundhouse kick at her which she dodged by backing off a little.
"Aiming at my heart. Do you want to kill your husband?" Alex said teasingly.
Clang!
"My husband isn't weak enough to die from this simple attack," she said with a wide smile showing her teeth.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!...
Swoosh!
Boom!
Alex suddenly sent her a surprise attack on her stomach sending her back crashing into a tree.
"Argh! Hehe so much fun~."
Esdeath immediately stood up and dashed at high speed at Alex sending several slashes at his body in many different ways so he couldn't defend against them.
Alex focused, making the world around him slow down. Then, he dodged the slashes that Esdeath sent him in many different ways.
Esdeath was surprised by what he did, but she did not lose her focus on her opponent.
'Ahhh~, as I expected, he is my perfect husband~, no matter how I tried to kill him, he dodged it all easily. He is making me more and more desire him ~.'
