Chapter 43 - Chapter 42

"T-Then h-how about y-you join u-us for a t-threesome, Lysette-sama?"

" "…" "

At Edward's unexpected suggestion, both Lysette and Nanako turned silent as they appeared to have frozen from the surprise of hearing such a thing from him. Edward on the other hand, was profusely cold sweating in concern about what he had just suggested, and about what would happen to him if Lysette hated it.

"W-W-W-Wha!? W-What are you suggesting, Edward-sama!?"

With her face turning beet red, Lysette's initial bravado had taken a sharp downturn as her anger was replaced by sheer embarrassment from the thought of having a threesome with Edward and Nanako.

"E-Erm… W-Well, you said that I n-needed your permission t-to fornicate, so… Hmm… I… Thought you also… Erm… Wanted to do naughty stuff too?"

"W-W-Wha… I-I-I'm not such a shameless a woman to ask for such a thing, Edward-sama!"

"Ah! Then you don't want to do it?"

"I never said that!"

"Huh?"

Hearing what she had just said, Lysette was hit hard by an intense sensation of embarrassment due to the recoil of her impulsive choice of words, Edward on the other hand, was left even more concerned since Lysette was saying that she wanted to do naughty stuff with, and even though they were engaged, he didn't find it good to do it with her just yet, even more so because he was scared of what her father would do to him if he heard that he had just crossed that line with her.

But before he could try to get out of that pickle of a situation, Edward felt a pair of hands hugging around the neck from behind.

"Edward-sama~"

"Uwaah!"

"!"

"Edward-sama~ Today you said that you give lots of love… Didn't you?~"

Without any way of fighting back, Nanako pulled Edward back onto the bed, as she was the one pinning him down this time, her eyes were moist and her face flushed as she breathed heavily, it was a very exciting scene for Edward, way too exciting, that he tried to look away by moving his eyes down, however in that direction he was met by the exposed deep cleavage of Nanako, which was just as exciting to him as her enchanted expression.

Edward again tried to look in another direction, but before he could do so, Nanako held his head and began deeply kissing him, as if a switch had been flipped inside her due to all of his actions on this day.

"!?!?!?"

Seeing Nanako hogging Edward all to herself like that, caused Lysette to feel even more flustered and worried at what could happen next, only making her feel even more confused about what she should do. But seeing Nanako being that aggressive dictated that she needed to act now!

And so, she took another impulsive decision as she took off her nightdress, then also went on the attack, barging onto Edward's bed and taking him away from Nanako, as she hugged his head in-between her breasts, which were now only covered by her light blue bra.

This was a very tense situation for Edward, as he was cold sweating a whole lot in trying to keep his cool, which wasn't helped by a horrible headache that was filling his head with… Monkey-like noises and Uwwoooooogh SEGS!!!, of all things… Both of which were making it very hard for him to keep his little one calm, as he also had two half-naked exquisite beauties clinging onto, and flirting with him, only making it harder for him to not listen to the little demon on his shoulder, who was also being supported by the little angel on the other shoulder.

Thus, with so many things preventing him from keeping his usual cool for such situations, alongside his usual demeanor with his fiancées, it was no surprise that Edward finally exploded.

"ORYAAHH!"

With an unusual surge of willpower, Edward was able to push down both Lysette and Nanako and pin them between him and the bed, as he showed a very unusual fierce, and intimidating smile.

"Lysette-sama, Nanako, you two want me to show how much I love you two? Then I shall do it just as you're both asking me to"

Seeing the complete reversal of the situation, caused the two girls to get back to their senses, only for them to be filled with a sense of shame and fluster, at seeing Edward acting like that, and saying that with such a tone. Then they both saw him undressing, which started blasting the alarms inside their heads at what was about to happen, now that they were both acting like usual.

"Ah! W-W-Wait, E-E-Edward-sama!"

"L-L-L-Let m-m-m-m-e p-p-p-prepared m-m-m-myself, E-E-Edward-sama!"

"…"

The two attempt to plead with him to stop, only for them to be met by his usual response of simply smiling at them without saying a single word. Which made them realize that there was no going back anymore.

" "Ah…" "

And then, unable to stop him, Lysette was the first one to feel Edward's-

*Power connection lost*

*Muffled screams of despair*

*Muffled incomprehensible shouts*

*Muffled arguing with two despairing voices and an angry embarrassed one*

*Muffled sounds of two people slipping and falling*

*Muffled sounds of a girly embarrassed scream*

.

.

.

"… … … *Groaning* Haa… *Blinking eyes*… Hm?"

Edward slowly woke up, with the morning sunlight hitting him right on the eyes through a small gap in the curtain covering the windows of his room. He was greeted by a dull headache, that gave the sensation of it being a drawback from something annoying been forcefully taken away from his mind.

Even more slowly, Edward's senses came back to him as he tried to remember what had happened last night, but when he tried to move his arms, he found that both of them were being held by something, as he also felt his arms rubbing against something smooth and soft.

Edward slowly opened his eyes, as he did his best to move his head just enough for the sunlight to not blind him, and the first thing saw after his vision had readjusted itself, was a fluffy and curly black and white hair right on top of him, accompanied by the cute sleeping face of Atsuko resting on his chest.

Seeing that Edward's mind immediately went on overdrive as he felt like sweating from concern, not because Atsuko was sleeping with him as that had already become a routine for them. Instead, his concern was actually from the fact that she was sleeping on top of him, while they were both naked.

Then slowly he turned to look to his left and found the lustrous and smooth black hair of Nanako as she was soundly asleep while hugging his arm, while also being in the nude, causing him to cold sweat even more. Then he slowly moved his head again, this time to his right, where he saw the silky blonde hair of Lysette, as she, just like Nanako, was peacefully sleeping while clinging onto his arm, while also being completely naked.

Seeing his situation, for as much as he wanted to forget, Edward was now vividly remembering the very hot and steamy foursome he had with the three after Atsuko went to his room due to her feeling that something was amiss and was caught by Lysette and Nanako, as they both showed rather desperate eyes when they saw her, before pulling her inside the room.

Although, it usually didn't seem like a problem when the engaged couple had intercourse before their marriage, for Edward his problem arose from the fact that Lysette was the daughter of a duke and that Atsuko was a foreign princess. And he could already imagine the kowtow he would need to perform in front of their fathers as he tried to explain why he was doing their daughter before marriage.

Then while he was in the process of giving up on his prospects of life given his circumstances, he heard the soft voice of Nanako as she yawned while waking up.

"Hm?… Ah! Edward-sama!… … … Eh?… Fueeeeeeehh!?"

Initially, she flashed a beautiful smile at seeing Edward, first thing in the morning, but then as she started noticing their situation, and remembering their intense last night, her face began turning into a bright shade of red from the overwhelming feeling of embarrassment. A process that was repeated by Lysette and Atsuko slightly after Nanako's embarrassed outburst.

.

.

.

Later that same day

"…"

"…"

"…"

Lysette, Atsuko, and Nanako were all having an afternoon tea, however, it was different than their usually more boisterous girls' meeting, which mostly consisted of them complaining, which sounded more like bragging, about how much Edward spoiled them on a given day, they were all quiet with their cheeks still blushing from last night, and this morning events.

Ever since they had woken up, they had been unable to forget everything that they did and felt last night, making them unable to think of anything else but that, which alongside the fact that they quite liked doing it, only made it more difficult for them to stop from continuously repeating those memories inside their minds.

But through the awkwardness of the atmosphere, and their rising embarrassment of thinking about that over and over, they were able to start a conversation, which was initiated by Nanako.

"E-Erm… W-What w-will h-happen t-to us, n-now t-t-that w-we've done i-it w-with E-Edward-sama, L-Lysette-sama?"

"Eh? Ah! Erm… U-Usually, in t-these s-situations, t-the two p-parties are m-married a-as s-soon as p-possible"

"Y-Yes, t-that's r-right, L-Lysette-sama. A-And since w-we're now a-all e-eighteen years o-old, t-that means we can all m-m-marry, E-Edward-sama"

" " "…" " "

As Lysette and Atsuko both answered Nanako's question, they all once again fell into silence, this time not because of the deed, but of the word the two said.

'marriage'

They now realized, that because of what happened, they were all going to become Edward's wives, which although it wouldn't be all that different from their current situation as betrothed, they all couldn't shake off the idea, that Edward's usual flirting would only become worse, which was already enough to cause steam to come out from their heads, but it also meant that…

They would all have to start their own families, and that would require them to have children, which could only happen if they… Did it with Edward as much as possible. As they all came to that conclusion, a steam explosion came out of their heads from the amount of steam accumulated by their vivid imagination.

From their marriage ceremony to their nuptial night, and finally to them holding their children in their arms, all of which wasn't helped by the fact that they've just experienced and felt doing it with the person they loved the most, and on top of that, they also had the clear memories of how Edward treated the orphans, who worked as interns at the manor, which in their eyes always made him look like a father especially whenever he held one of the younger children in his arms.

And talking about that person, where he was at this time?

Meanwhile

"…" *Kowtowing to his father*

Edward was currently inside the office of his father, Oliver Harding, who in turn was looking at why his son had just started kowtowing in front of him, right after he had finished his regular assigned duties

"… Son, what are you kowtowing for?"

"This is my show of regret for what I'm about to say, Father"

Hearing his words, Oliver could already feel a sense of dread, as he could only guess at what could've happened between yesterday and now. And just like Edward, he began cold sweating at the consequences of what Edward could've done.

"… … … Please, don't tell me you fornicated with either Lady Lysette or Princess Atsuko last night. I beg you, don't tell me you did that"

"… … … Father… I fornicated with Lysette-sama and Atsuko-sama at the same time, and with Nanako as well, last night…"

"?!?!?!"

At finding out that his son Edward, hadn't banged just one of them, but the two at the same time, Oliver immediately began to intensely shudder in despair at the prospect of having to bring that fact to light to both Duke Hamilton, his liege, and King Yuudai, a foreign king, on the same day, while also having to deal with the two at the same time, if they reacted not so favorably, at finding out that their daughters lost their chastity outside of marriage to his son, even if they were both engaged to Edward.

So of course, there was one thing that Oliver could do!

"Oh god! Oh God! Oh God! What do we do!? What do we dooooo!?!?!?"

And that was, of course, panic in full desperation.

"I don't know!!!"

And of course, Edward also began to panic from desperation.

"I need ideas! Give me ideas, son!!!"

"Huh? Erm… H-How about we expedite the marriage ceremony!?"

"We wouldn't have time or money for it! And the entrance exam and ceremony for the royal academy will also begin in some weeks! And we can't just marry you and Princess Atsuko without the presence of her parents! The longer the time we have between the fornication and the marriage, the worse that'll get! Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!"

"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!! Oh! How about we just officialize my marriage to the three without the ceremony, and we just say that we did it to avoid it any outside meddling in the betrothals coming from the other nobles within the royal academy!"

"Son, that… That may work! We can also say that we decided not to have a ceremony to avoid any unnecessary prying eyes to come and disrupt it during its preparations!"

"And we can also get the blessings of the priest from here in secret, with the excuse that we just came to visit one of the sisters, since Nanako used to be in their care when she lived at the old church orphanage that was burnt down!"

"Alright! We've already got our plan of action! Son, you go get your fiancées to have them agree to the idea! And to get their signatures as well! I'll prepare the marriage contracts and convince Duke Hamilton and King Yuudai of the idea!"

"Okay, father!"

"Oh! And one last thing, son"

"Hm?"

When Edward looked at his father, he saw him making a seriously serious face, and after a brief dramatic silence, he asked…

"… … … How was it like to have a foursome?"

"… It was amazing"

Edward responded with an equally seriously serious face and serious tone after also doing a dramatic pause.

"Damn. I'm jealous, I also want to have a foursome as well"

"I get it, father. Now, I shall take my… Leave?… … … Ah. Mo- Camilla-san?"

When Edward opened the door, instead of being greeted by an empty hallway, he was greeted by the head maid, Camilla she made a very intimidating smile while looking in Oliver's direction with a shadow cast over her eyes, as she held a tray with a tea set on it.

"Edward, could you please step aside? I believe I have some lessons I have to put into your father's head"

"Ah… Sure, please come in"

"Thank you"

And with that, Camilla menacingly approached Oliver while saying…

"So what do you mean you wanted to have a foursome?"

As she grabbed him by the collar, after putting down the tray on a nearby table, meanwhile Edward quietly made his exit from the office, and as he closed the door…

"W-W-W-Wait! Why aren't you angry at Edward for doing it!?"

"Why should I be angry at my son trying to find a way to not play favorites with his fiancées?!"

He could hear the two shouting, before fully closing it, turning the voices inside the office into muffled incomprehensible noises, as he did his best to ignore what appeared to be the sound of one hell of a slap to his father's face.
