SSS-Rank Harem Sword: My Lustful Life With Legendary Maidens Chapter 122: Main Wife Confirmed

The door opened.

Mariana stood in the doorway wrapped in the pale covering from her bed, her pink hair loose and slightly tangled, her eyes red-rimd in the way that two days of crying produces, swollen at the edges and achingly honest.

She looked at him sitting on the floor against the wall with his robe pulled around him,

"You have been out here this whole ti?" she said.

"Yes," he said simply.

"You are cold."

"A little."

She stared at him for another mont, her jaw working slightly with the effort of managing several things at once.

"That is very stupid," she finally said.

"Probably," he agreed.

She stepped back from the doorway and held it open wider, not looking at him directly, her eyes sowhere around his shoulder.

"Co inside then," she said quietly. "Let’s hear the execuses you made."

"They are no excuses, Maria. Only truth."

He got up from the floor, slowly, his cold joints voicing their opinion about two nights on stone, and walked through the doorway.

She closed the door behind him.

The room was warm and dim and slled faintly of the climbing plants outside the window.

She sat on the edge of the bed and pulled the covering around her shoulders and looked at her hands in her lap for a long while.

Adonis sat in the corner of the room, looking at her red face from crying.

He began speaking honestly.

"I am sorry for not being upfront when you needed to be. But there are so secrets you must know before you judge wrongly."

She stared back, curious to hear him out.

Buzz!

He summoned the Chaotic Harem Sword inside the room. The double edged black sword had gained striking draconic wings near the hilt. With chaotic purple energy swirling around it, it now looked very intimidating and powerful.

"I have never told you the na of my sword, have I?"

"No, you have not," she replied, her face expressionless but her eyes fixed on the sword.

"It is called the Chaotic Harem Sword. I have nad her Vexa."

< Hehehe, nice to et you, Master’s Wife.>

Vexa, the supposedly lifeless sword spoke then, stunning Mariana completely.

"It can speak?" she asked, shocked.

Adonis nodded. "Yes. And it is not so ordinary as it sounds. As its na suggests, it helps grow stronger by building a Harem with strong won. The bigger and stronger my partners are, the stronger I beco. And there is no limit to my growth."

Mariana’s eyes went wide. "Sothing like that exists? It sounds like a perfectly crafted lie."

"It is not a lie, Master’s Wife. I am indeed real. Vexa exists to make my master the strongest by generating love force within his Harem. The bigger and stronger the Harem is, the more he can earn. Using that force, he can grow to beco the strongest in the universe."

"Strongest in the universe?" Mariana echoed, still finding it hard to believe.

However, when she recalled how fast and abnormal Adonis’s growth had been, there was no denying it.

"So the evolution fruit you gave , was that also a product of this sword?" she asked Adonis.

"Yes, and I can obtain more of them. But I need a great deal of Harem Force to do so. Now do you understand why I did not refuse the Dragon Queen when she proposed the marriage arrangent?

She can generate enormous Harem Force, just as you do. She can help us all grow stronger, faster, and more efficiently. And she is also offering her entire Kingdom’s support for my goals. So how could I refuse?"

Mariana fell silent as she contemplated all the information she had just received.

After a while she stared at him with watery eyes.

"I understand everything you said, Adonis. But tell honestly, have you ever truly loved ? Or was everything you did just for the sake of harvesting love force?"

Adonis t her gaze without flinching.

"The answer already lies within your question, Maria. Without love and genuine emotional connection, the Harem Force cannot be generated.

Although it is true that I had not fallen in love with you at first. But as I gradually ca to know you, your mad love, your efforts in disguising yourself as Minos just to stay close to , I started falling hard.

Besides, you are so beautiful and captivating. Who would refuse? I was always drunk on your beauty and grace."

His tone turned serious as he reached out to hold her hand.

"I may co to love many won in the future. But know this, Maria. You will always be among the best. After Millia, you truly stole my heart. You are the person I have felt closest to after my mother."

Mariana’s eyes narrowed. "You have already been involved with that black haired girl?"

Adonis scratched the back of his head with his left hand. "Well, she was our maid’s daughter. So, ahem, we naturally ca to like each other. I am truly sorry for hiding this from you all this ti. But your love was so possessive that I was afraid I would lose you."

Mariana let out a cute snort. "First your maid’s daughter, then , and now the Dragon Queen. Who is next? Claudia?"

He shalessly nodded.

She fud angrily,

"Hmph. Are you even going to spare anyone, Adonis? Will you not forget in this sea of incredible won surrounding you? I am genuinely afraid."

Adonis gently pulled her into his chest, letting her breathe in his intoxicating scent.

She did not resist. She pressed her face against his chest and let herself be held, her fingers curling slowly into the fabric of his robe the way they always did when she was feeling sothing too large to hold at arm’s length.

For a mont neither of them said anything.

"I will never forget you," he said firmly. "That is not sothing you need to be afraid of."

"You cannot know that," she murmured against his chest.

"I know myself. That is enough."

She was quiet for another mont, the asked:

"Millia, what is she like?"

Adonis considered the question honestly.

"Lets say she is stubborn, considerate, talented, and dangerous when she is angry, which is often. But I am certain she’ll haev no complaint accepting yoy."

"Do you also love her."

"Yes," he said, without hesitation and without apology.

She looked at his firm face for a little longer, then pressed her face back against his chest with a sound that was sowhere between a sigh and a complaint.

"I want to be angry about that. But I am finding it difficult to sustain." she added.

"I understand."

She pulled back just enough to look up at him properly,

"If I am to be your wife," she said carefully, "your true wife, the first among them, then I have conditions."

Adonis looked at her with genuine attention. "Speak them."

She held up one finger. "You will never make feel like I am less. Not by word, not by action, not by the way you look at soone else when you think I am not watching."

"Agreed," he said.

A second finger: "You will tell the truth. Always. Even when you think the truth will hurt . Especially then. I would rather be hurt by honesty than comforted by a lie."

"Agreed."

A third finger. "Claudia. If it is Claudia, I want to be the one to tell her. She is my knight and my closest friend, so I deserve to know this from her and not discover it by accident in so corridor sowhere."

Adonis studied her face for a mont. The sincerity in it was complete and unperford.

"That is generous from you, Maria," he said, smiling.

"I am indeed a generous person. I simply have limits and I am informing you of them clearly."

"I hear them clearly," he said.

She sighed,

"Vexa," she called suddenly.

< Yes, Master’s Wife?> Vexa replied imdiately, with an enthusiasm that suggested she had been waiting to be addressed.

"If he ever truly forgets ," Mariana said pleasantly, "I am holding you personally responsible."

< Hehehe. Understood, Master’s Wife. Vexa will remind him every single day if necessary.>

"Good," Mariana said.

Adonis looked between his wife and his sword and decided, wisely, to say nothing at all.

Mariana settled back against his chest, readjusting the covering around her shoulders.

"I am still annoyed about the Dragon Queen," she said with the softness of soone approaching sleep.

"But I will try to be civil. I will not promise more than that."

"Civil is sufficient, my love." he said, kissing her temple.

"Hmph."

Ding!
