The World I Reincarnated Into Was Lenient About Concubines - Chapter 94

Rakche Was a Product of a Unsolicited Merchandising Scheme

​The morning after the wild party where everyone gathered (while Rakche and Luida were kept under house arrest at the main estate), I woke up to a naked Fiore smiling and welcoming me awake. Her expression was beautiful and soft, a complete turnaround from her ahegao face yesterday.

​"Good morning, Young Master. Did you enjoy using me as your flesh light last night?"

"Good morning, Fiore. It was wonderful. I'm sorry for being so rough. Next time, I'll make sure to have gentle intercourse with you in bed."

"Thank you for your concern. However, I am your flesh light, so please use me however you like."

"Yeah, then next time I'll use you as a flesh light in a gentle way..."

​Saying that, I kissed Fiore on the lips. As our tongues intertwined, she happily wrapped her arms around my neck. We enjoyed the kiss for a while, but then Karen came to wake us up, so I reluctantly let Fiore go.

​"Young Master, what shall we do about your morning duties?"

"Yeah, as expected I'm tired, so we can skip this morning. I have to go to the government office today too, so Karen, please go to the academy with Lina."

"Understood. Please take care."

​I then went down to the first floor and had an early breakfast in the dining room. Dolce and the other regular maids, who aren't my sex slaves, kept glancing at me as if they wanted to say something, but I decided to pretend not to notice. Fiore and the others' female dog cries yesterday were pretty loud, after all. They probably reached your rooms from the third floor, didn't they? Yes, I am very sorry.

​With things being as they are, despite still being a student, I've essentially become a corporate drone, and today I'm heading to work in high spirits. I exchanged a goodbye kiss with Fiore, who came out to see me off. Fiore in her everyday mode gives off a super sweet vibe, making it feel like we're newlyweds, which feels great. Despite having sex where I treated her like a complete flesh light, the gap in her behavior is irresistible.

​When I arrived at work, the Foreign Affairs Bureau was enveloped in a relatively calm atmosphere this morning. Looking at this state of affairs, it seems the Acacia Empire hasn't been invaded yet. It looks like a request has come from the neighboring Takachio Principality for a top-level summit between monarchs regarding the future. I wonder if they're going to talk about how to brace themselves when an actual invasion occurs? Well, it's a kind of end-of-life planning.

​The amount of correspondence coming from the old Claria Principality remains high, but they don't seem to be showing any noticeable movements. Public order in the imperial capital is being maintained, and the residents are reportedly living peaceful lives. It seems only the brothels and taverns are bustling as usual.

​From the Acacia Empire, there was reportedly an inquiry about presenting the princess, who was a candidate for the crown prince's official wife in our country, as a concubine to Emperor Kanona, and this was easily accepted by Emperor Kanona. Serves you right, Crown Prince. But man, it's nice, I kind of long for a situation where a princess is presented to you.

​Early after arriving at work today, I was asked to check the translation and copy of yesterday's letter from Emperor Kanona. The content I translated has been very formally compiled into a bureaucratic document. Serious people look at me with expectant eyes, viewing it as a trump card for diplomacy, while those who aren't are trying to flatter me while they can, so it's quite a handful. Fortunately, the bureaucrat who is my superior belonged to the former category, so he didn't push too aggressively.

​"The Bureau Chief is proceeding with selecting people to go to the old Claria Principality. Duke Raymond and the Bureau Chief will be going, so it's going to be a sizable group. You will most likely be included too, so prepare for the journey."

"Is that so... By the time we arrive, the Acacia Empire might be gone."

"...Well, don't say it like that. We're working with the Protocol Bureau to select gifts, but what do you think would be good, Allen?"

"In my personal opinion, something rare would be better than something luxurious... and though it's awkward for me to say, the rest would be beautiful women."

"On that point, negotiations have already started among the royal family and ducal houses to defer to one another."

​Ah, as I thought, they are going to offer them up. Well, when it comes to things to present to a young 17-year-old emperor, that's what it settles on. Must be nice. I'd like to be in a position where beautiful women are presented to me. Well, considering I have a superb property like Fiore as my flesh light, I'm being incredibly extravagant as it is.

​Once I finished the work I was asked to do, I received permission and headed to the Legal Affairs Bureau.

Today's main event is over here. The objective is to clear the suspicion and release the detention of Rakche, Luida, and the Camsha tribe, but I have no intention of negotiating from the start. I tried pulling strings through the standard proper channels, but the response was weak, so I'm a bit pissed off.

​Utilizing my current strong position, I heavily threatened and called them out, saying that if this continues, it will affect the Lambert family's respect for the royal family. Even when Karen's father came out to soothe things, I grumbled, and ultimately dragged out the assistant official, getting them to agree to completely resolve the house arrest immediately under the condition of no suspicion.

​Even I thought, wow, I really have some guts. Of course, it's just a case of the fox borrowing the authority of the tiger, since Emperor Kanona is actually my friend.

​Since I forgot something, I went back to the Foreign Affairs Bureau and found a summons note left by Marquis Lyndon, the Chief of the Protocol Bureau, but I pretended not to see it. Originally, I had told them I was going straight home anyway, and it wouldn't be for anything good regardless. Rather than that old man's smug face, I want to see the faces of Rakche and Luida rejoicing at being released from detention.

​When I arrived at the main estate, it seemed notice had arrived ahead of me; the watchmen had withdrawn, and Rakche and Luida were in the dining room. They looked completely apologetic while surrounded by my mother and the other wives, but the moment I called out to them, they welcomed me with full smiles.

​"Master, welcome back. Thank you very much for everything this time."

"I'm back. Sorry for keeping you waiting."

"No, we are deeply sorry for causing you trouble and inconvenience because of our Camsha tribe."

​As Rakche expressed her apologies, my mother gently chided her.

"Rakche, didn't I tell you we are family? It's only natural for Allen to make an effort for his family, so please don't say such things. Allen, thank you too. I am truly glad you are my son."

"Yes, I also think of Rakche and Luida as family, so doing some legwork is only natural."

​In reality, they are slaves, though. Well, since I plan to welcome them as wives in the future, I do think of them as family.

"Mother, I think Rakche and the others are tired, so would it be alright if I took them back to the villa now?"

​At these words, the expressions of the wives flicked uniformly. Ah, could you please stop making faces that look like, 'Oh, this guy wants to take them home because he wants to do it soon'? Well, you're right, though. Hey, especially you, Beatrice, the fifth wife. Your look of disgust is too blatant, so please restrain yourself a bit more.

​"Of course. Aries, Lina, and Karen must be worried too, so please take them back and let them see their faces."

It seems only my mother doesn't quite understand. For someone who nags a lot about my womanizing habits, she's surprisingly oblivious. Well, that's why I was able to have an affair and sex with Rakche back when she was the sixth wife, and why Aries and I are still constantly fooling around.

​"Thank you. Then Rakche, Luida, shall we go?"

"Yes." "Understood."

​I took the two of them and headed to the villa. Walking them around in slave attire would be a bit uncomfortable, so I had them wear normal clothes. Sandwiched between a beautiful woman and a beautiful girl who are sisters, admiring the fresh, crisp greenery of the imperial capital is the best. Along the way, Rakche thanked me once again.

​"Master, thank you very much for this time. We cannot find the words to thank you for pulling strings on our behalf."

"Don't worry about it. I am your master, after all. It's only natural to take good care of one's possessions."

"But..."

"Ah, sorry, I said 'possessions' in the heat of last night's mood. I think of you both as important family, so it's natural to help you. Rather, I'm sorry it took so long. I've arranged things similarly for the Camsha tribe, so you can rest easy."

"...Those words are more than we deserve. I'm sure my father is grateful as well."

​Reacting to those words, Luida made a face as if she had slipped up.

"Hey, Sister... maybe Father will do that as an expression of his gratitude."

"Ah... that's right... considering Master's position, that would probably be the case..."

​The conversation between Rakche and Luida was somewhat hesitant.

"What's wrong, you two? Is there something inconvenient about your father thanking me?"

"No, it's just... it's highly likely that my father will make a visit to express his gratitude to you, Master."

"Probably bringing along cute virgins selected from the tribe for you to choose from."

"It was kind of like that during my time too..."

​Ah, so that's what it means. Under the guise of an expression of gratitude, he's going to try to foster wives onto me. He acts quite calculatedly, doesn't he... So Luida's personality was inherited from her father. Come to think of it, I've heard rumors before that Rakche wasn't planned or sought out by my father, but was forced upon him. It really is like an unsolicited merchandising scheme... well, if it's delivery of a beauty like Rakche, it'd be a one-shot signature upon receipt, but am I the target this time...?

​"Master, you are completely free to flatly refuse him."

"That's true... I intend to make Rakche and Luida my wives, and having three from the Camsha tribe messes with the balance a bit..."

​While saying that, internally I was anticipating that if there was a girl to my liking, maybe it wouldn't hurt to accept her.

After all, thanks to Emperor Kanona, it seems I'm going to become even more successful, so keeping a few more wives wouldn't hurt, right?
