“What the hell is that? That woman!”

Moae jumped out of the banquet hall.
She got angry at the thought of the rude incident that had just happened, and more precisely at the thought of a woman who had been rude to Aran.

“Are you mad now?”
“Then why don’t you? How long have you been ignoring me to say something like that to my husband? This is a declaration of war against the Mei Empire!”
“…Don’t go out too far.”

Seeing that she still kept saying that he was her husband her, she was very cute.

“I held back because I thought a war would really happen if I spoke in earnest, but I know there will be no next time.”
“I don’t intend to just be beaten by myself.”
“?”

Moae looked at Aran.
Surprise was painted on her face.

“Sir, are you saying there’s a way to deal with that vicious princess?”

When did she become the vicious princess?
Aran answered with the heart of dealing with Hancock.

“Of course. It wouldn’t be nice to hear me like that every day.”
“Oh, that’s right. Then there’s nothing to worry about. Rather, it’s pitiful. She was secretly kidnapped and brutally abused.”
“I didn’t say that?!”

Moae swept her hair back.

“If you, the brute prince, do something, it’s obvious.”
“For some reason, you saw it correctly. Princess Confident.”

Hancock helped.
It feels strangely friendly.

‘Did we become close because we were in the same class?’

What had just happened was that Juana ignored Aran as always since she was sealed as the crown princess.
In fact, it wasn’t a big deal from Aran’s point of view, who had always been ignored, but from Moae’s point of view, it did n’t seem like that, so her path her became rampant .

“It can be a surprisingly good way, Your Highness. If we take down that noble and proud princess, wouldn’t she be a bit quiet?”
“As a wife, I don’t like it, but I’m not going to leave a cocky woman alone.”
“No, there are other ways, so why do you think that way?”

“The subject is you.”
“That’s because the subject is the prince.”

A chorus that is not a chorus of two women who are plugged in at the same time.
Aran shook her head.

After all, Moae is with Hancock.
Even Hancock alone is tired, but adding one more person to that.

Furthermore…

“Come to think of it, I think my tone is too calm compared to my beauty, so I’m going to change it.

Sometimes she was worse than Hancock.

“Do not.”
“Moae is sad to hear that.”
“Because I won’t.”

Moae stuck out her mouth.

“You can’t protect her wife her, you just tell her not to think about it. That’s why they say that marriage is meaningless.”
“This person is on someone else’s side.”
“Ah! That’s right. Since you’re my husband, I’m on someone else’s side.”
“…”

Since when did you become friends?

“Come to think of it, I didn’t even have a wedding ceremony. When will it be?”
“…Yes?”
“It’s a wedding ceremony. It’s like we’ve already been engaged, and all that’s left is to get married. When will we do it?”
“…”

Aran shut her mouth like her mute.

If you think about it, there are not only two women involved in Aran.
The first woman is soup, but I don’t even know where she is now. Except for that, Illyana is the first, and Hancock and Ramias are the second.

Moae is next.

However, if Moae and the wedding ceremony are held suddenly, this order is all twisted.
In particular, in the case of Illyana, she must have believed that she was a legitimate wife.

‘No, isn’t it the first time that a man has multiple wives…’

It’s not without precedent.
In the case of powerful aristocratic families, there are cases where many women are attached to one man in order to compete for the successor.
However, it was only in the case of a noble man and a commoner or lower-class woman, and there was no case of polygamy while marrying nobles or equals like Aran.

“This… First of all, let’s discuss it with her mother and her.”
“I want to have a grand wedding ceremony worthy of my beauty.”
“That’s what…”
“We’re going to the West Continent for our honeymoon. How about Goryeo?”

She began pouring out her words in her rapid-fire fashion.
Starting with the honeymoon area, the duration, the number of attendees, the operating funds, etc… It seemed as if the plan had been planned from long ago.

“Ah, okay, let’s go inside… “
“Can I join in on that?”

At that time, Illyana suddenly intervened.

“Oh, isn’t it Illyana, the first princess? This is how she met the first princess of the two empires.”
“I see. I’m worried about any uncomfortable parts.”
“There is no such thing. My beauty makes even nature considerate.”

Illyana convulsed slightly at the still self-consciousness of her.
Fortunately, it was so fleeting that no one noticed.

“Is that so? That’s good.”

She looked at Aran.

“You’ve grown a lot while I couldn’t see you. Aran.”
“Uh… I… I’m sorry.”
“No, no, no need to apologize. It’s me who asked her to take a ‘concubine’ from you.”

She dares to make controversial remarks in front of her mother-in-law.
Aran had a rather ominous feeling.

And that ominous premonition came true very accurately.

“A concubine?”

Moae frowned and opened her mouth.

“What do you mean by that? I’ve heard that this man has many women, but you’re saying he’s already married?”
“That’s not true, but as you know, since the owner is already there, it means that the princess who came ‘belatedly’ will inevitably be pushed behind her.”
“Huh. I have a high status, but that can’t be the case. Even in a marriage with multiple spouses, in the case of a high-ranking Yeong-sik, the rank rises regardless of the order. As the princess of the Great Mei Empire, it’s natural that I’m the main wife.”
“Unfortunately, Aran’s first opponent was also the princess of an empire.”

It is truly a mess.
Hancock whispered as Aran tore her hair.

“It’s worth it, Your Highness.”
“It’s noisy.”

Moae took a step closer to Illyana.
They were the same height, so the eye level of the two women was just right.

“She’s not the princess of the Goryeo Empire…But there’s no plausible empire around here…No way…You’re not referring to the person in front of me, are you?”
“You feel good. I am Aran’s wife.”
“Ho. Ho. Ho. Do you think that makes sense? No matter how different the boats are, they’re brother and sister, but they’re married.”
“Aren’t there any number of marriages between members of the royal family? That’s in the country of the noble person in front of me.”
“That’s just an old story. It’s different now.”
“Then let’s go back to the basics. How do you say marriages between countries are concluded without the permission of the home country in the first place? The process will be complicated, so it will not be long before the actual marriage takes place in the end. Maybe it will not happen.”
“Hmph. I’ve already gone as far as I can. Now I’m a body that can’t get married.”

Paper weave.

An enormous gust of wind blew near the two women.

“Your Highness, do something. A war between nations might break out like this.”
“…What to say.”

Wouldn’t you want to stop calling him Aran?
There is just no way to dry it.
Involving too quickly can have the opposite effect.

“Why don’t you rather call me your wife?”
“Princess Moae says it’s not possible because of her status?”
“Hey, where is that? You’re just doing that because of your pride.”
“Is it…”
“If you don’t mind, I’ll tell you.”
“Yes?!”

Before he could stop, Hancock got in between the two women.

“Both of you, quit. Unfortunately, the Crown Prince’s wife is me. Hancock.”
“?”
“?”

I look at Hancock with a nonsense expression.
But Hancock is still confident.

“The two of you are princesses, and I’m a count, so I’m on time…”

Aww.

Moae pulled her cheeks left and right.

“Don’t get in the way of sharing.”
“Hey, it’s my mother (I’m the one who is the one who is the one who is the one)”
“I won’t mind coming as a concubine, so the count should step back.”

Illyana pushed her all the way away from her.

Hancock reported to Aran without a second attempt.

“It was no use, Your Highness.”
“Of course…”

This fight is an ego fight.
Both are sky-high when it comes to pride, so there’s no way it will end just because Hancock intervenes.
No, it’s good if her actions her did n’t cause her anger in the first place.

“Then, Your Highness will have no choice but to look at the solution. Hurry up and decide one of the two as your wife.”
“…If I decide, will you admit it?”
“Will there be a war?”
“…”

Aran looked at the two women.
They were fighting without getting tired.

They didn’t point fingers at each other, but it was clearly a tough atmosphere.

“I…”

Come to think of it, she is a woman who comes to mind.

Although she was not in a romantic relationship with her, she remained most fondly in Aran’s memory of her.

‘Where and what are you doing right now… I was too careless. Let’s go to Throdia and find it.’

He thought of soup.

When she was being bullied by Estelle, he took her by force, though against her will her.

He still could n’t forget the sight of her in the morning when her head her was pounding, covered in various liquids.
Wouldn’t it be right to take responsibility if possible?

‘If I call one of them my wife, there will definitely be a fight.’

Aran thought so and mustered up the courage.
And he got stuck between the two.

“Please be quiet for a moment.”
“Aran.”
“You have to do it right. You’re not going to push me away as a concubine after seeing my beauty, which is full of the energy of the universe, right?”

Aran cleared his throat several times.

“Hmm…First of all, there’s something you two need to know.”
“I’ll listen and see.”
“Tell me.”

He hesitated a little before opening his mouth.

“Actually, there is a woman I met for the first time before I met my sister.”
“…I’m sure you’re not referring to that article called Estelle, right?”
“Of course not. She’s that woman, she’s simply a slave. She’s the woman I want to tell you about… She’s the one who gave me strength in my most difficult times .”
“Nonsense! So you’re saying you’re going to push me away? Don’t you know how big of a national event this is?”
“I know that, but…But my true love…”

“Your wife is Illyana. Aran.”

“Mother!”

Cornelia appeared with her attendants.

“I’m sorry to the princess, but it’s already been decided that way. I hope you understand.”
“…I-I haven’t heard of that. I just heard that there are a lot of women!”
“Even on our side, we haven’t heard that the princess is coming as Aran’s wife.”
“Ugh.”
“From the point of view of my home country, it’s like being notified unilaterally, so I hope you understand that much? Could it be that the Mei Empire doesn’t have that much courtesy?”
“That…It’s not.”

Moae slightly lowered her head and bit her lip.

“Aran, let’s talk with her for a while. I have a lot to say.”
