Future Plan

To her, Deena believed if she could at least spend the few couple of years alone with me then those years will be treasured within her as the most happiest years of her life.

I asked her just to be sure if this was what caused her cries at night and she nodded in response to me.

"But wait, you've been crying long before the night of the blue moon. Why were you crying back then?"

"That's true. I was crying due to the fact that I was happy to have finally found someone I wished to spend the rest of my life with. It was a wish my mom wanted me to have. I cried due to the fact that my mom promised to stay alive so that she can give her blessings to me and whom I choose to spend the rest of my life with but she died two days after been ill for months without any money to take care of her health."

"She died in the slave agency months before I was eventually sold to Grandpa who asked me to give you the letter that I did a few years back. My mom had always been treated roughly by my dad and due to his debts. My mom and I were sold into slavery by those he owes money to."

((Please note:- The old geezer Dante had a gamble with was referred to as "Grandpa" by all the slaves he bought.))

"My dad was the man that appeared to us after we watched the stage play the other day. He heard of my mom's demise and had been looking for me ever since. He promised to pay for my freedom but I warned him to never involve himself with me again. I do not want to live with a man that brought so much pain and suffering to my mom,"

So the dark elf we met the other day was actually her dad. That's good to hear but I highly doubt he could have ever been able to afford Deena's release payment. She was worth a fortune and I'm glad she is free now because to me, she is worth every penny.

"Young master, please I beesech you. let me be by your side. I'll do anything. I'll work harder. I'll be more attentive.

Please young master, don't leave me. I'll do anything you want just please grant me this request before this substitute breathes her last breath by your future wives."

Deena implored as she held my sleeve tighter by the second.

Everything that had happened before now was totally unexpected to what I had anticipated beforehand.

Though I didn't have the intention of sending Deena away in the first place, all I ever wanted to hear was if she had someone else outside that she would like to return to. By that, I mean maybe a family member or something. I wasn't going to let her off so easily after all I love her too much to not want her to leave my side.

The envelope she had toss aside on the wet floor didn't actually have the documents of her official release statement. The real one is in the space cube kept in my pocket and as for her belongings being kept in the space cube which was 'supposed' to be in the chariot right now? There was really nothing there.

There was simply no way I could have teleported all the way from the boutique back to my mansion, it would have been an excruciating experience for me which might even lead to my death.

The truth is I'm also to be blamed too. All these wouldn't have been needed if I had only confessed my feelings since the first day we met. My cowardly act led to the girl of my dreams to have unsettled sleepless nights. I understand her true feelings towards me cause I always hear her crying for hours, so I know she isn't lying.

Never again will I be ignorant towards what I want and who I care about. I know what must be done.

"You are not a substitute," I said as I suddenly tugged her towards me to give her a hug.

"Young master?" She subconsciously inquired due to my abrupt action.

"You know my name. Don't ever call me that again. Starting from this day forth, you are my woman, "

"Uh?!...But what about the girls?" She inquired as her hands slowly wrapped around my waist.

"Provided I'm strong they won't hurt you right? Then I'll just have to be the strongest person this world simply isn't ready for. And as for the girls? I'll find a way to handle it. "

That's right there's simply no point in being annoyed by what Deena did. The truth is I would do the same thing if I had been the one placed in her shoes. It just shows that we might actually be made for each other.

Moreover, I'm curious to find out if I could become stronger than how I was before I quit being an adventurer. I heard rumors of their being a higher rank than Platinum but I had never seen anyone with such a level before.

*Sobs*

"Thank you so much. Thank you Dante. I want nothing more than being by your side. So Yes I will be your woman. I will do my best to not let you regret it," Deena declared as she buried her head deep within my chest to conceal her crying face.

'Choosing you as my woman means I have nothing to regret in the first place,'. I thought as I rest my chin on her beautiful colored silver hair.

I released myself from her arm before raising her chin towards me. I leaned towards her as our lips collided in our very first intimate passion.

"W....what was that?" With her cheeks reddened and her ingenuous eyes anticipating another round of lips locking, Deena inquired from me.

Oh! That's right. Denizens of this world are simply ingenuous towards the idea of lips kissing. Although she's seen me kiss the girls on their foreheads thousands of times, I've done the same to her on a couple of times also but never has she experienced kissing before. But I've gotta admit it, it was my first kiss too. And it felt divine. Aww! I could die right here and right now but not yet, there's a lot still left to be done.

"It's my mark to you. Now you are mine and mine alone." Hearing what I said, Deena instinctively glanced downwards while concealing her rosy cheeks and radiant grin.

"Let's go home Deena," i said to which Deena nodded in response to my words.

Due to the fact that Deena still isn't well versed in other aspects about demons lifestyles. I've decided to take this chance afforded to me to actually make sure I succeed in finding a way to lift the curse placed on the Emperor's family and in return I'll ask for an exclusive right to use the palace libraries whenever I see fit.

At least, he should be able to grant my request since I do not need gold or anything of the sort. I need to read everything there is to learn about the demon race stored in their archives. I'm certain with the vast number of books they have in their disposal, I will be able to find out more about all three girls royal family insignia. I'm certain in the future my desired boring life is most likely going to take a rapid turn once the world knows of all three royal babies living with me.

Then I'll also have to get stronger before the next four years which will be the commencement of the blood moon period for all three girls. I want all four girls to be by my side and no one, I repeat no one is allowed to touch what's mine.

With the blood moon coming up very soon, I can't help but feel excited about my future while having all four girls by my side. The fun is barely just beginning.
