Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

On the table, we enjoyed a healthy amount of food. As expected of an aristocratic family of mages, the quality and quantity of food was great, which was the same as us. The Raevender family was a combat-oriented family as well, so we needed to have a certain diet for our everyday lives.

We chatted on the table while we ate. Telling the tales of our lives regardless of the size of the event. While we were at it, we kept updating ourselves on the latest information about personal and other stuff.

After having our lunch, Alexander told us that he needed to go to do something regarding the academy. Once he left, it was now me, Iris, and her aunt left in the manor, if we excluded the guards and servants.

Currently, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the three of us were in an enclosed parlor with no servants around. At the same time, we were enjoying some treats I brought from the queendom, like the coffee, as we extended our chat earlier.

"—I heard that Her Majesty Gabrielle is currently pregnant with Her Majesty Mylene's third child. What is the feeling that you will become a big brother in the future, Your Highness?"

"I am actually excited for it. We will sure have a significantly big age gap, but that will be the reason to spoil my little sister rotten. When the child is born, she would be the luckiest child ever by having three mothers and a brother and a sister to look on her."

"That would be definitely too much for the child. But a little sister, huh?"

"Well, through an ability, Mother could actually choose the gender of her children. My sister and I inherited that skill from her, so we could do the same as well."

"I see. That's a perfect skill for nobility. I can see why many nobles wanted to find someone with it."

Sipping on our cups, Maryjane and I were tackling the topic of Gabrielle's pregnancy, who had been carrying my little sister for weeks now.

Although her pregnancy was not publicized, we did not try to hide it either. The news must have spread far and wide up to the empire and eventually reached Maryjane's ears.

"With that skill, my sister and I were born in this world," I added. "And you know what? I am the first and last man to be born in the Raevender family."

"Really? I never thought your family had come up with that."

"It's true. Especially since we are now an independent country. A queendom of all ruling systems."

"So your children will be all girls, then? Is it the same case for Her Highness Louise?"

"My sister and I have decided that our own children will be daughters. This may be selfish of us, but we are hoping that our children will inherit our family's love for women, so that we could extend our legacy to the next generation."

"..."

Hearing my words, Maryjane must be thinking it would be hard to achieve and smilingly decided not to utter a word about it. Raising our daughters to have preference for women would be challenging.

It was not like we would be forcing them if they did not go well with our expectations. To be honest, it would be hard to think that the girls I raised would be taken by any man. But I also believed that too much wokeism was not always a good thing.

Nevertheless, there was a reason why we had been talking about this matter right now. The truth was, there was a certain topic that I thought should not be discussed at the moment, as I was concerned that today was not the right time to talk about it.

Or that was what I thought...

"Speaking of, I want to ask you, Auntie, if you already have a response to the proposal we told you before."

Suddenly, Iris brought up the topic in the conversation. Before my parents wedding at the palace, Iris and I approached Maryjane and offered her the proposal of becoming one of my women.

Taken aback by it, Maryjane's back straightened before she simultaneously looked at me and Iris. She must have expected for this moment to come ever since Alexander left the manor.

"About that... I actually have not made a decision to it yet. Becoming His Highness's woman was bothering my mind and occasionally refraining me from focusing on my work. That is why I did not think about it. I am terribly sorry for failing your expectations, Iris."

"It's okay, Auntie. You can still think about it."

"Until now, I still could not believe that you are making such an offer."

"We know that Raphael has fiancees other than me. But aside from us, he has romantic relationships with multiple women out there. Some of them are someone you personally know, someone you have met, or someone you heard of. Moreover, he already took some of them somewhere, and they have been peacefully living under one roof."

"...I did not expect to hear something like that. To think that High Highness Raphael is such a...lady's man."

"It is because of how handsome and charismatic he is."

When Iris said that sentence, I could not help but smile and feel thrilled about her compliments. I was not confident being called good-looking, especially from my loved ones, but if she said so, then I had to accept that.

(I am suffering from success.)

I always get praised like that by Sophia and my mothers. But Big Sis is such a tsundere, so I rarely heard her saying anything about my appearance, whether a positive or negative description. Even after becoming lovers, she did not say a thing yet.

"Also, some women are attracted to his strength. But most importantly, he is really excellent in bed. He can make every night unforgettable."

Iris then flashed a grin at her aunt as she said the last sentences. Maryjane did not seem to get her at first. But eventually, she later realized it and panic surfaced on her beautiful face.

"W-what are you saying, Iris? How did you know that? Don't tell me... You have done it with him...?"

"Yes. We have done the deed on multiple occasions so far," Iris replied nonchalantly. "He is so vigorous in bed that he could take multiple women from dusk till dawn."

"So, you have committed premarital sex?"

"It doesn't matter, Auntie. I love Raphael. Whenever we do it, I feel like I am the happiest and luckiest woman in the world."

"Iris..."

"I wanted you to feel the same, Auntie. Raphael is the only one who can provide you such pleasure. I don't remember when I see you so happy. That is why I don't mind sharing him with you."

"But if I were to accept it, consequences would follow eventually. My relationship with His Highness Raphael would make a huge scandal, making my job as the Imperial Court Mage at risk. Your father might seize that opportunity to make you the next court mage."

"Then I have to disobey him again. All I need is to bring you into Raphael and find your happiness. But that would only happen if you accepted our proposal."

After a few seconds of silence, Maryjane let out a sigh. "Why are you so persistent, Iris?"

"If you cannot decide yet, we will give you more time to think. By the way, we will be doing it tonight here. You are free to join us if you want."

"I'm sorry, but I'll pass."

Until now, it seemed like Maryjane could not give a response yet, though she did not reject or accept it. Well, I was looking forward to her answer.
