After Ren had returned from the bar and met with Eleonora and Serenity, they had all discussed what they had learned; apparently, there was more talk about protests and rebellions than they thought. From all sources, the people were angry at the royal family for many reasons, meaning anyone around them could be part of the rebellion. The reason for their anger? Well, there are a myriad of reasons. The war is only a piece of the puzzle; there's a mix of anger over labor issues with people being overworked all for the war effort and how the Queen is eating the best food available while some of the lower class are stuck with bread.
"So, this will be harder to fix than we thought." Serenity said.
"I have a few ideas...but now it's just how to implement them." Eleonora said. "We need to solve the anger from the people by fixing the labor laws and the food as well."
"We can't succeed without discussions with the Queen and princesses." Ren said, sighing.
"Alright." Serenity said.
However, as Ren was walking, he received a call on his communication device.
"Hey Ren?"
The voice belonged to Lucilia, who was still in the palace.
"Yeah?" Ren asked.
"We may have some visitors..." Lucilia said, sighing.
"Who?"
*Timeskip*
Ren arrived at the palace and saw three very familiar faces all looking at him.
"Ren!"
Two girls jumped into Ren's arms, making Lucilia and the others fairly angry. The two girls were Rei and Rin, the two fox girl princesses' that were part of the agreement between him and Queen Tsukiko... speaking of.
"It's good to see you again, Ren."
Tsukiko was here as well, talking to the two Nyflona princesses'
"You seem popular, Ren." Alyndra teased.
"Three princesses' and a queen all around you. It seems you have a thing for royalty." Caestrianna said, teasing.
"So, what are you doing here?" Serenity asked.
"We're here to talk to Ren; after all, he has a deal to keep." Tsukiko said it with a sly smile.
"Right..." Ren said nervously. "But aren't you supposed to be fighting a war?"
"My forces are holding the Volarian's back. They haven't launched their main force yet, so it's mostly just scattered troops." Tsukiko said.
"It's only a matter of time before they get their forces ready." Ren said.
"We know, and that's partially why we're here." Tsukiko said. "We need their alliance, no doubt, but we also need to secure our alliance, Ren."
"Oh...right." Ren said, sighing.
"Don't sound disappointed!" Rin yelled out.
"Not disappointed, just surprised, that's all." Ren said. "Are you sure we have to do this now?
"Yes" Tsukiko responded with a smile.
Ren sighed heavily as the girls glared at him. He had told everyone on the ship about the arrangement prior to arriving on Nyflonia but didn't expect things to come to an end so soon.
"So Rei...Rin. I know this may be awkward, but which one of you wants to marry me.
"Me!"
"I do!"
The twins both smiled at Ren as he asked the question.
"Uh...." Ren said while being very confused.
"WHAT!" Lucillia yelled out in anger "No way! Nope! I begrudgingly agreed to one of you, but not both. Ren can't marry every single princess in the galaxy!"
"Why not?"
That question was asked by Tsukiko of all the people who smiled.
"By Volarian laws, he is allowed to marry others. Besides, if it makes both my daughters happy, who am I to say no?"
"This can't be happening..." Lucilia said, sighing.
"Mind if I take a minute to talk to Lucilia?" Ren asked, and everyone nodded their heads.
The two walked to the side of the room.
"Ren..." Lucilia said it threateningly as her eyes seemed to glow a bright red. "I've been nice to all those you love for you, but you don't even like these girls! I refuse to have to share with you anymore than I already have!"
"You're right, Lucilia." Ren said. "You've been the best wife anyone could ask for and have been patient with me. But we need this alliance to win the war. I may not love them, but I may have to marry them. Without Tsukiko, we're screwed."
Lucilia, still angry, grabbed Ren's head and kissed him. "You're still mine; you got that?."
Ren smiled as he looked into Lucilia's eyes. "Always and forever."
