CHAPTER 17: Roanna (Part 2)

CHAPTER 17: Roanna

(Part 2)

"Roanna, to tell you the truth ever since I have noticed you following me. I have also found you cute, and today after hearing your feelings I also want to say that I like you but can't. I can't be yours alone as they're also other girls in my life whom I have been in love with for years. That's why I wouldn't be yours alone as I can't leave them for you, I am sure you can understand what type of man I would be if I were to break my relationship with them for you. Please try to understand." I tried to put it in the best way possible.

Just as I expected, tears roll down Roanna's eyes but I have a feeling that these tears are not of sadness but something else. And just as I was thinking this, Roanna suddenly hugged me tight as she whispered in my ear, "hehe, you were just like I thought you to be."

At this, I and all of the other girls became dumbfounded at her reaction, I thought that she would be sad. But instead, she is happy? why?

"What do you mean?" I asked her in confusion.

"Hehe, you don't need to be confused as I already have doubts, but now as you have confirmed themself. I am 100% sure that you and Professor Claire are in a relationship." Roanna said with a mischievous smile on her face and I and all the girls became shocked. I also heard Celia shouting in my head, 'H-How did she know?'

Thinking the same thing as Celia I asked her, but she beat me to it as she said, "And don't worry, I wouldn't tell anyone, not even the princesses. But instead, I want a chance to prove myself and earn the right to stand by your side in the future. What do you think?" Roanna said with a wink.

My and the girl's mind stops working at this point, we don't know what to think of this situation. So, I without any hesitation used legilimency on her and read her thoughts, and also transferred them to the girls. After doing this, we all understood everything and were amazed at Roanna's thinking capability.

From her thoughts, we find out that she doesn't have any plans of telling others about my relationship with Celia. She just used it to make me afraid and to get a chance to prove herself and be with me in the future. Thinking about all this a sweet smile appeared on my face as I looked at her and caressed her soft, bouncy cheek. Then I said something serious.

"Okay, I will give you the chance you are asking for. But in return you must tell me, are you okay with me being in multiple relationships." I asked her and her expression changed into a sad one before turning serious.

"It's okay. I am not against polygamy as my father also has 3 wives, so it doesn't affect me much if you also have multiple wives as it is common among the nobles. I am sure Professor Clair also understands this. But I can't say the same about the others as I don't even know their names." Roanna said with an uneasy expression.

At this, I scratched the back of my head as I thought to myself. Kids in this world mature fast, which must be the result of their upbringing as Roanna has already started to think at the level of a mature adult from my previous life. Just as I was thinking all this, the girls contacted me and informed me of something they had decided and wanted my opinion on it. I silently heard what they wanted to say, then I thought about it. After thinking that it was okay, I told them, 'okay I will handle everything'.

"Well, about that. I have a way that can help you in convincing them that you are capable of standing by my side. But before that, I have something to tell you about my plans after graduation." I told her and she became visibly tense. To relax her body I patted her head and then told her about my plan to travel to the Yagumo region to find out about my parents' background.

Hearing this, She fell silent for some time, and then with a resolute expression she said, "Okay, then I want to go with you."

"Hn! would your family allow it?" I asked her.

Nodding her head she replied, "No problem, I will convince my family. I am sure they will allow me as due to my uncle they all have a pretty good impression of yours. Moreover, they will be coming to see the upcoming tournament against the Royal knight. I am sure after seeing your performance, everything will be okay."

"Ah! I see." I said as I thought about the upcoming tournament against the Royal knight, in which academy students fight against the royal knights. And I am also chosen as one of the participants.

"Now that my family's problem is solved, can you tell me about the way you were talking about before? Please~~" Roanna said with a pleading face.

I just sighed internally and told her that if she can defeat her opponent in the upcoming tournament against the Royal knight, then it would be enough to prove her capability, as she has also chosen to be one of its participants as her swordsmanship is also really good, as she has picked many things from seeing me doing sword practice for so long.

This competition thing is something that the girls decided between themselves, I am just following their wishes as I have no better idea than this.

As for Roanna, she is beaming with happiness and has a fire of determination in her eyes to win her match in the upcoming tournament against the Royal knight. At this, I just smiled in amusement, and to make her even happier I offered her the opportunity to train with me every day for the upcoming tournament, and I got a kiss on my right cheek from her. After which she covered her blushing face with her hands and sat on the ground to avoid contact with my eyes.

I just laughed at this, then after calming her down we started our sword practice in which I gave her some pointers to improve her body and gripping posture to increase her proficiency as being thrashed by Swordmasters in the Virtual Space for years has taught me many things about Swordsmanship, as my Weapon Mastery skill is at rare-rank for nothing.

Later in the night, on the dining table inside my Spatial Farm. After eating our dinner I asked all the girls (including Tifa, Aishia, Ayame, Celia, Liselotte, Hikari, and Latifa), "So, what do you all think about Roanna."

All of the girls looked at Ayame, who nodded to them and then facing me said, "Dear, after checking her thoughts which you transmitted to us at that time. We all came to the same conclusion. That Roanna dearly loves you from the depth of her heart and has made you her only goal. We all think that even if you had rejected her today, it would have only strengthened her feelings for you even more and she would have continued to pursue you until the very end. No matter what. And this is something all of us can vouch for."

Knowing this, I became surprised as I didn't notice all this when I was checking her thoughts before. I just nodded and continued to hear Ayame's explanation, "So, we all decided to just give her a chance to prove herself which is something we all agreed on even if we are a bit jealous of you getting a new lover."

As Ayame said the last part, all girls, including her, have a jealous expression on their faces as I haven't confessed to any of them until now, and here I am adding a new woman into our already unofficial relationship. At this, I like to make one thing clear, all of us are well aware that all of them have that kind of feeling for me.

Even Ayame, even if she at first said that I still have her son's soul inside me. She still deep down her heart knew that I am not the Rio she knew before, and the time we have spent in the last 5 years was enough for her to develop that kind of feeling for me. Which resulted in her showing her feelings for me more openly through acts like feeding, hugs, cuddling, and many more.

Through these actions of hers, the other girls have also come to know about her feelings for me as none of us are fools.

This resulted in all of them having a meeting with Ayame, to discuss her feelings for me. In the end, everyone agreed on Ayame joining our unofficial relationship. I also came to know about it when Tifa told me about it.

Seeing them all jealous and pouting in anger. I felt sad as all of them are waiting for me to confess my love to each of them, one by one. And here I have been waiting for the time to leave the Beltrum Kingdom, to do so, as I planned to take them on dates in different worlds from the low verse and confess my love to each of them separately.

But now it looks like I have to unravel a little bit beforehand to make them all happy, so I did and all of them became happy and pulled me in a group hug.

This resulted in me being surrounded by girls from all sides, making me think that I am the luckiest person in this world for having all these girls alone for myself. And that night, all of us slept together, on the same bed in my room. With smiles on our faces as we enjoy each other's warmth.
