Orders from the church

Once the fourth prince left, there wasn't much else for me to do.

Of course, that didn't mean that I could remain idle while leaving the work to everyone else.

Or at least that was what I thought.

But when I tried to volunteer to help, I found that I was given the cold shoulder by my wives and my fiancees.

At first, Cecilia was still talking to me, but after she learned about what I had asked the fourth prince for, she also gave me the cold shoulder.

Though they understood that women should stand by their husbands at times, that didn't mean that they wouldn't get angry because of my selfish actions.

So before I could leave, the first thing that I had to do was appease them.

But I didn't go looking for them right away.

It wasn't because I was scared of my wives and fiancees, it was just that I was giving them some time to cool off. There was nothing to gain trying to appease them while they were still worked up.
