Alex and the girls rested on the couch after they were done eating while some of them was at the clean floor because there were no space on the sofa. Supposedly, there were still a space for almost all of them to fit in but their movement would be restricted because they don't have space left to move.
There were 11 people in the small living room which is; Alex, Alexia, Rose, Clara, Violette, Selena, Kiara, Eva, Catherine, Zeth, Scàthach
Theoretically, 10 people can sit together on the three couches. The center can accommodate four people while the other two sides can accommodate three. Still, some of them took at least two spaces in the couch.
Like, Alex currently is doing! On the center of the couch he was lying down with his head on Alexia's lap while both of his feet nestled comfortably on... It was Scàthach with an annoyed face. After a couple of words of persuading her, Scàthach give up and begrudgingly agree to it!.
"Dear, you were planing to take us out on a date right?." Alexia asked
Just like the four, Violette, Clara, Selena and Alexia first time who heard this, the others were all surprised and happy too. They all reacted happily while some, like Eva complained cutely on how it take too long for him to invite them and some were excited and keeps asking when their turn will
"Okay-okay, Calm down! We are going to discuss about this." Alex laughed while smelling Alexia's hair, he was happy when all of his girl were happy and excited
"First of all; We will have a date around ten days later after we settle Violette's marriage, so that your sister can rest easy! Any problems?."
The others shook their heads while Violette felt a bit guilty that it was because of her that the date took too long to start. But, the others just smiled in response and said that it was nothing. Some didn't understand, like Scàthach who still didn't know. The others told her about the details, she just snorted in response and said
"Just kill them and it's over!
"Haha, killing isn't always the answer, but for this kind of thing we at least need to do forceful means." Alex laughed at this killer woman
"I'm kinda confused why you would need to wait for 10 days to take us out?" Clara asked, the others were also confused about this
"Well, I'm just going to explain that! Actually, I'm not going to intervene!..." Alex said
BOOM!!!
As if something exploded in Violette's mind while everyone were stunned.
"What! Why?!." Violette shouted in indignation, she was almost tearing just by hearing him.
"Hey-hey, Calm down! At least let me finish." Alex didn't know whether to laugh or cry seeing her like this.
"Then why?!!." Violette shouted angrily, tears where threatening to fall from her eyes, her heart hurt so much as she felt she was betrayed
Alex sat down at the couch and spread his arms, offering a hug.
"Don't be angry, Come here!." Alex smiled
Looking at Alex's smile. With big strides she angrily went towards him.
When she was closer Alex hugged her and put her on his lap, Violette was still angry so she avoided looking at him face to face.
"I thought you could control your emotions well? You need to control it!." Alex said he was also a bit surprised that her emotion quickly took over her. He was sure, that as a strong woman with higher rank she can control her emotion well and not act on it.
"...I... just... sorry, it's because this problem bothered me all this years." Violette said hiding her face in his chest.
Actually, Violette could control her emotions well. Even when someone taunted or make any bad remarks about her. She can still think and control her emotion because she knew if she don't, maybe she will make a mistake in the future because of her emotions.
This marriage, it has been bothering her all this years she couldn't even try have a normal romance because of it. That's why when that happy accident happened with her and Alex. She didn't want him to find out as she was afraid that he will get caught by her family.
Furthermore, she didn't want him to help out because she thought he was too weak for it. But, when she knew his strength, she wavered about telling him about it until he himself found out and said that he will take care of it. So, she was too happy as she found hope that's why when she heard him that he isn't going to intervene her heart hurt.
Her emotions took control of her and she shouted in indignation.
...
"It's fine, don't cry even though your still beautiful when crying." Alex said as he moved her face to face him and wipe the tears on the sides of her eyes.
Violette nodded, her tears didn't really fell.
"Listen to me first, okay?."
"Mhn..."
"Okay! First, It's not that I won't help, I will help, only when the situation calls for it." Alex said
"What does that mean?" Clara asked
"The reason we are not going on a date before her marriage is because I need you girls to be stronger. It's you girls who will help Violette on breaking her marriage.
In this week I will make all of you improve your strength and make a breakthrough for at least one to two ranks. In this way you will have the power to at least fight for yourselves.
Of course, if you can't take it anymore I and Scàthach will intervene."
"Eh!!!..."
All of the women were surprised except for some, they all know that Violette has a legendary title, the Mage Queen. Imagining they will help her they couldn't believe it because they know their enemies will be so strong for them to handle.
Especially, Eva and Selena, who are ordinary human. Both of them knew they were included. Rose was also nervous as she is the weakest among those who know how to use mana.
Alex knew that they would have this kind of reaction but he is confident enough to make them stronger in ten days. He knew that all of his women had different talents and according to what he observe they are quite geniuses of their own.
Even if they don't have talent he has a way to make them stronger. He would also find them a companion to get stronger with it. This companion is also somewhat special as it can share it's signature move to it's contractor.
