"Roland, I can't help you have a child right now."
"How about you marry a few more?"
"I don't mind!"
After a stormy night, Janet lay in Roland's arms and suddenly spoke up. She knew how much her husband desired a child.
To not affect their marital relationship and to strengthen the bloodline of the Weiss family, she didn't mind her husband finding a few women to help have children.
For nobles, having multiple women was normal. Someone as devoted as Roland was rare. That's why she felt indebted to her husband.
"Don't joke around! I only love you."
Upon hearing this, Roland thought his wife was 'testing' him and quickly spoke up.
"I'm not joking! That half-elf girl from the Adventure Team of the Purple Hyacinth was quite good. She's beautiful and has a good figure, clearly fit for childbearing."
"If you could marry her, she could help you have more children, Roland."
"Also, the illegitimate daughters of Baron Kahn and Baron Pauli around us have reached marriageable age, and their looks are quite good. If you're willing, you can marry them too."
"With the current strength of our Weiss family, I believe Baron Kahn and Baron Pauli wouldn't refuse this alliance..."
Janet analyzed seriously.
"..."
Seeing his wife's increasingly absurd words, Roland was speechless.
What's happening today?
Could Janet have been enchanted?
Should he call for the church and see if someone used witchcraft on her?
Otherwise, why would she suddenly want to help him find mistresses to have children?
A woman's heart is like the bottom of the sea.
Before understanding his wife's thoughts, Roland chose to change the topic and brush this matter aside.
However….
He truly underestimated Janet's determination.
Knowing that she couldn't bear children anymore in the coming years, she decided to find several mistresses for her husband, completely freeing herself from the task of giving birth.
There was no other way…
Having been doing this all along, she was starting to feel a bit scared of Roland's prowess. She must find a few helpers to share the burden.
She has also reconciled with Priya and has obtained Priya's approval. She also started crafting shady plans to push Roland but Roland being someone from the 21st century of earth knew the possible dangers so he kept his act straight.
Who knew how his wife would behave once the rice was cooked so Roland engaged in laboring nerve-wracking training.
He would wake quite early and escape to the train. In the afternoon, he would tour the village giving a set of instructions and sometimes even plowing the fields alongside the farmer or helping in building walls, and houses, or engaging in carpentry bringing a round of applause from commoners.
If not for his strict orders, the people might have already made statues of him and started worshiping him. His kind tales had been spread like wildfire and many people from another territory would visit to take a look and settle.
Because of all this, the population increased from 28,000 to 40000 To maintain them more guards were required and trained making their numbers rich 1200.
However, all of this made Janet restless.
How can she not understand Roland's thoughts? She knew that Roland wasn't averse to the idea of taking more wives rather he feared her. Roland had thoroughly misunderstood his intention thinking that this was his test of loyalty.
So in anger, Janet decided to put some nefarious substances and push Priya into his room and lock the door but to his horror, screaming like a wild pig, Roland jumped out the windows and ran away only to return the next day with a haggard expression.
....
After entering, he saw Janet's fierce expression. However, instead of retreating, he asked loudly, "Janet, how can you do this to me?"
Instead of answering, Janet beckoned him to come closer.
Roland, swallowing his saliva, walked towards her fearfully and asked"What do you want to say?"
"Husband, what is your current realm?"
"I am almost on the verge of Advanced Knight?"Roland answered skeptically.
"Then do you think ordinary aphrodisiacs work and make you lose control?"
The moment she said this, he understood everything.
"You mean…You mean it was a pretense to make Priya serve me…"
Janet didn't say anything and looked at Roland sternly,"You surely don't have any intentions towards Priya?"
Roland stared at her face for a moment and thinking about all plausible scenarios shook his head resolutely.
It would be wrong to say that as a man he wasn't attracted to Priya but that didn't mean that he would lose control and cheat on Janet, however, if agreed now he feared something precious to him might be cut.
"No, I don't."He answered firmly.
"Okay!"Janet stood up with a solemn expression and walked away startled Roland who wiped his sweat.
"Did I skip a bullet?"
Roland concluded or so he thought.
...
Not giving up under the joint planning of his wife, several months later...
Roland was dumbfounded to find two unfamiliar beautiful women in his house.
"Who are they?" Roland asked his wife in confusion.
"The one on the left is Murphy, the third daughter of Baron Kahn," his wife replied.
"The one on the right is Leila, the second illegitimate daughter of Baron Paul."
"From now on, they will be your women, Roland," Jenny introduced with a smile.
"My women?" Roland was stunned.
He couldn't remember ever provoking these two women before. In fact, today was the first time they had met.
After coming back to his senses, Roland quickly asked his wife for an explanation.
A few minutes later...
Roland understood what was going on.
It turned out that a few months ago, Janet wasn't joking when she said she would help him find women.
She had been working on this matter for the past few months but Roland always thought of this as one of her tricks.
Finally, she successfully persuaded Baron Kahn and Baron Paul to marry off their illegitimate daughters as mistresses for Roland.
And now, they have brought the women back today.
"Oh, by the way, Roland, don't forget to give a larger share of beer to these two families," Jant added.
Clearly, this was a condition set by the families for marrying off their daughters. Roland observed Leila and Murphy and then asked about the details.
Leila was 23 years old while Murphy was 18 years old and came off to age recently. And this irked Roland.
"Janet, what is this nonsense…Did you really think of a perverted beast? Leila is okay but Murphy just got 18. Roland who was 25 alongside his other life age, she was just like a minor…"
"And why didn't you consult me…?"
"I…"Janet choked feeling wronged. She wanted to refute and say she asked it but seeing Roland's angry face she kept quiet.
Roland then looked at two women who shivered a bit and declared, "Sorry, I don't want to marry you two. Pack up and leave."
He snorted and was about to leave but at the next moment, he felt a resistance. Looking down, he was taken aback seeing two women groveling down and holding his thighs.
They kneeled and sobbed in melancholy.
"Lord, we are illegitimate daughters. Our life is worse than slaves. We are sold off here and if you don't take us, they will sell us as slaves to somewhere distant or marry us to a guy worse than a beast," Leila pleaded in agony.
"Yes My Lord…Please keep us. Even if we can't become your wife, at least keep us as servants. I swear that I will work properly as a maid and won't neglect my duties. In exchange, I just want a roof."
Roland's heart quivered a bit. He wasn't made of stone and their pleas softened it. Then he looked at Janet who lowered her head.
Her sad look pierced his heart.
'Damn! I am a fucking beast. All she did was think good of me, yet I kicked her in the face.'
Without a second thought, Roland freed himself and in a blink lifted Janet, startling her.
"Roland…"
Before she could speak, he sealed her lips with a kiss and took her into the bedroom like a gust of wind leaving behind Leila and Murphy in a dazed state.
"I need to talk with my wife first."
That's the only command he left behind.
Just as they wondered what was going on, a woman appeared with a rigid expression.
"You two stay here…My Lord will soon make a decision."
"You, who?"As they two stared at her with a questioning gaze, the woman answered.
"I am Priya, the head maid." she spoke with a sorrowful expression as she looked ahead.
'I shouldn't be jealous, after all I am nothing but a maid.'
....
Inside the room, Roland wrestled with Janet showering her with an ample amount of love making her helpless yet happy.
Her heart jolted in sweetness on getting Roland care. In the end, she held Roland's cheek and drenched his face in love kisses and bites.
"Janet, I am asking once again. Aren't you going to feel wronged?"
