Phara

As Vic and Liz were leaving the hotel after the bath, they got a lot of looks., but they didn't care. Both of them were in very good mood. Liz was walking a little funny but she refused being carried. Once they got out of the hotel they went straight to teleporter and back home. Everybody once again waited with lunch and usual shenanigans ensued.

Lola and Jas didn't have the guts to ask about the foursomes yet so they postponed it a little. They were sure that there is nothing going to happen today anyway.

…

After few days' time to go to Gordman duchy came. All the girls were nervous. But they did there best to hide it. They are going to be presented as girlfriends to the girl that is going to be most likely fiancée of there lover. Nervousness was understandable. They put on very nice clothes for the occasion. And were hoping that it will be fine, as they were ensured by Vic.

"Mom, are you going too?"

"No sweetie, it's a custom that you are going to present yourself alone. In your case with your little harem."

"Ok than, we are going. Bye Mom."

"Bye sweetie, and good luck."

We embarked on our journey. Magiwagon took us to teleporter. And next to teleporter in Gordman duchy was already waiting for us their family magiwagon. We drew to the Gordman mansion. Once we got out of the magiwagon we were greeted by middle aged man that was a little overweight but had kind and welcoming smile on his face.

"Greetings. It's been a long time, Victor., How is mother doing?"

"Greetings Lord Gordman. Mom is doing fine. And yes, it's been very long. Last time you visited like 7 or 8 years ago on some business matter."

"That sounds about right! Well, I am sure you didn't come to chat with an old fart like me. Let's go inside."

We went inside and duke led us to the nice tea room.

"I heard that you share your mother's love for tea."

"Yes, I like tea very much."

"Awesome. Here Loyd my butler will take care of all your tea needs while you wait for my daughter. I have sadly some matters I need to attend to. But I would love to talk to you after you have a nice chat with my daughter if you don't mind."

"Gladly Lord Gordman."

"OK have fun for now."

"Thank you, Lord Gordman."

He left the room. They waited for about 15 minutes while sipping a tea and having simple chat, when the door opened and the beauty entered the room.Girls that were with Victor stood up and positioned themself behind the couch Vic was sitting on.

"Greetings Lord Victor."

"Greetings Lady Phara. Would you mind please not calling me lord. It does not sound natural to be called "Lord" By somebody who has the same standing as me."

"Greetings Victor than. You may also cut the formalities with me it would feel weird to call you by name when you use so formal speech."

"Greetings Phara then. It's pleasure to meet you."

"Likewise, Victor." She turned towards the butler."Loyd I will take care of the tea for our guests , you can leave now."

"As you wish you grace." He slightly bowed to Phara and me and left the room.

Once he left the room Phara's look changed from the neutral formal one to that one of anger and suspicion.

"What is all this crap about? Is this the new trick of that perv Karlstein?"

I smiled.

"I can assure you that my offer was genuine. And it is in no way game of that Karlstein tard."

"Then you would not mind if I asked you few questions once I cast the room of truth spell here."

"Go right ahead Phara"

"Galantara sheatra romos" Weird blue light enveloped the room and we felt like it was asking if we submit to the room of truth spell. I accepted along with the girls.

"OK I feel that you all accepted and you should feel that I am automatically subject to the spell."

"What is the meaning of the engagement offer, why did you send it?"

"Because I would like to be engaged to you?"

"You know that I am being stalked by the perv Katlstein and he also scares of everybody that gets close to me. He even threatened some with dead. He is dead set on marrying me."

"Yes, I know about that, and it is one of the reasons I am here. But not to help him as you think."

"Explain!"

"I am well aware of the fact that you have a baggage in form of that Karlstein fucktard, but I can solve that issue pretty easily. And I also have something that would be considered baggage in eyes of most noble woman when speaking about engagement. So, I honestly hoped that you would be more understanding."

"I see. Makes sense. So, what is your so-called baggage.?"

"My three lovers. Lola, also my contracted spirit beast." Lola bowed politely." Jas, also my second contracted spirit beast" Jas bowed politely. "And Liz, also my secretary." Liz bowed politely.

"Soo, you looked for somebody who will not make a big fuss about your three lovers that you can't marry. And you chose me because I have and issue with Karlstein brat that you can easily solve. Is that right?"

"Yes, I also heard that you are novel and tea enthusiast so I hoped you would help me choose some good novels to read and also, I was looking for somebody who would enjoy drinking tea with our family. And one last thing I looked for somebody who likes spirit beasts since they are such a big part of my life."

"I am very sorry for my conduct." She bowed her head.

"It's fine, I get it you were afraid of me since I am on good terms with Karlsteins. But the people I am on good terms with is duke and his youngest son since he shares my class, I was mentoring him a little."

"Firstly, girls please sit. You are his lovers not his servants." Girls nodded and smiled on Phara.

"Secondly, are you really not afraid of that brat?"

"Not even a little bit."

"So, you have a plan how to get rid of him?"

"Yes."

"Do you have any other girls, or do you sleep with somebody else than the three girl you came with?"

"No"

"Are you aware of the fact even when we will be engaged, I won't jump into your bed?"

"Yes, don't take I personally but I don't really need it. I have already three lovers that are already in my bed every night. What I am looking for is somebody who would get along with my girls and would be my friend and will shield me from constant stream of marriage offers. Sadly, announcing officially that I have them as lovers would cause to much trouble and looking for girl that would tolerate them is complicated. At least for now we will be just friends helping each other, if our relationship ever evolves into something else, I am not against it, but I am in no way planning to force it. If you understand what I am trying to say?"

"Ok so primarily you are looking for friend for you and your little harem that will ward you from annoyance, but you are not against taking responsibility and marring if the relationship develops. You are quite upfront with what your plans are. I like that. I am sure you are aware of the fact that you can't lie but you are in no way forced to speak."

"I have no reason not to be open. It would be unfair for you if I was not upfront about it and it could cause issues down the line. And now is perfect opportunity since you know I can't lie."
