Yeah! Here's the new chapter!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Most people — or at least most normal people — only had to deal with the problems that ca from a single relationship.
But I wasn't normal. In fact, normal was never a word that really fit into my vocabulary.
And, given that, it was obvious that for , Ethan fucking Night, this problem would be different… and far more complicated.
As if everything the universe had already put through wasn't enough, it had now decided to spice up my romantic relationships as well.
Still, at least this ti, the situation I was dealing with didn't involve anything too strange, crazy, or unbelievable… like being reborn into a fictional magical world or possessing supernatural abilities.
Even so, I couldn't shake the feeling that the universe — or perhaps so bored cosmic divine being — was ssing with the threads of my life, amusing itself at the expense of my suffering.
Now all that was left was for to figure out what kind of personal grudge this being had against , to keep targeting like this.
…Sigh, who was I trying to fool?
The universe or so divine entity had absolutely nothing to do with my problem.
All of this was entirely my fault.
Mine, and my powerful and irresistible charm, which sohow managed to enchant these two incredible girls… with one of them even being a descendant of a race famous precisely for its charm and seduction.
'Being too cool and attractive is more of a curse than a blessing sotis,' I thought, sighing dramatically.
Jokes aside, I genuinely felt cornered by the situation I found myself in.
At tis, I couldn't help but think that maybe I was taking all of this more seriously than I should.
There were far more important and urgent things for to deal with than teenage romance.
But, unfortunately, even thinking that way, I still couldn't stop myself from returning to this subject.
And do you know why?
Why couldn't I simply let all of this go, even knowing it was the most logical decision?
Why did my mind stubbornly keep returning to the faces of Luna and Fleur?
Why did I pay so much attention to their emotions, feeling anxious about what to do with the feelings they had for ?
Well… the answer to that was actually quite simple.
It was because I also harbored feelings for these two girls — feelings that went far beyond friendship.
Co on. They were the two most incredible and beautiful girls I knew!
How could I not end up developing feelings for them?
And, ironically, that was precisely one of the problems — perhaps the main one.
My heart didn't beat faster because of one of them… but because of both.
Unfortunately, I wasn't dealing with just one girl, but two — which made everything infinitely more complicated.
Okay, so people might say there was nothing wrong with this situation. That, in fact, I should take advantage of the opportunity and capture Luna and Fleur at the sa ti, all at once.
But I knew that doing so would just be acting without thinking, letting emotions and hormones take the lead.
As I had said before, I truly liked these two girls.
And because of that, I didn't want to try to enter a relationship with them… not without any kind of planning or careful consideration.
And no, that wasn't because I liked having everything planned and under control, following ticulously crafted plans, acting with cold caution.
Quite the opposite.
I was this hesitant to do anything regarding the two of them because I liked them, and if I were to date either of them — or even both — it would be with the intention of building sothing more lasting… perhaps even with marriage in mind.
Believe it or not, I was soone with a romantic heart.
But well, back to the problem.
Precisely because I liked Luna and Fleur, I couldn't force myself to choose only one of them.
I was selfish, a little sentintal, and very determined, and because of that, I wanted both of them for myself.
So, taking that into account, the only option that would truly work for would be to have both of them as my girlfriends.
And that led to another point…
From what I had read in so books in the Hogwarts library, the magical world had, in the past, a custom where powerful and influential witches or wizards married more than one partner.
Those who participated in this custom would build — or join — a harem, almost always aiming for so kind of benefit.
According to the books, their goals were quite simple: to strengthen their lineage through the mixing of different bloodlines, and to increase the number of descendants in order to ensure the expansion of the family.
Taking that into account, it was clear that those marriages or unions were, for the most part, rely political or social strategies, with very few cases actually being based on love.
Of course, in my case, love was the main and only deciding factor in all of this, so that information didn't really make much difference to .
The only reason I brought this detail up was to show that the existence of harems wasn't sothing completely uncommon or strange in the wizarding world.
Even so, although having a harem wasn't entirely unheard of or considered immoral, this custom had stopped being common a long ti ago.
The last known and docunted case of a harem or polygamous relationship in Great Britain had occurred over 300 years ago, within a small pureblood wizarding family.
In several other countries and regions of the world, this custom had also been abandoned, with only a few families in Africa and Western Asia still practicing it today.
Of course, this data ca solely from the information currently available.
I couldn't guarantee that there weren't harems in those other regions of the world — or even within Great Britain itself.
However, even if they did exist, those cases were probably never officially recognized or recorded, which prevented their discovery.
And, being honest… even if this custom were still common around here, it probably still wouldn't help in this situation.
Nothing guaranteed that Fleur and Luna would agree to date at the sa ti.
I was almost certain that no woman in her right mind would want to get involved with a man knowing she'd have to share him with another woman.
'Sigh... back to square one, then…' I murmured internally, 'I really wish there was a female manual or so kind of guidebook that could help with this problem.'
'Unfortunately, I knew life wasn't that easy... Having problems with romantic relationships was practically a canonical event in the life of every living being' I thought, shaking my head regretfully.
This internal monologue of mine seed to last quite a while, but in truth, not even two minutes had passed since it began.
And while I was tearing myself apart internally, letting my troubling thoughts wander freely, Fleur and Luna remained clinging to .
The two of them were still engaged in their small, silent and "affectionate" competition, trying to prove to each other who was truly the girl closest to .
What I didn't know was that behind this seemingly harmless competition lay the true intentions of these two girls.
Luna and Fleur hadn't co to rely seeking support and comfort, as I had imagined.
In truth, they ca looking for because they were worried about .
When I disappeared into the maze, everyone was concerned, but one of the people most deeply affected by my kidnapping was Luna.
And Fleur, after returning from the graveyard and realizing that I had stayed behind to save her, was also consud by anguish.
During the entire ti I was trapped in that graveyard, the two of them waited anxiously alongside the others, their hearts weighed down by fear and concern.
They even prayed to several deities, begging for to return safely to them.
And, to their happiness and relief, I returned safe and sound.
The mont they saw appear at the entrance of the maze, it felt as if a heavy stone had vanished from their chests.
In that instant, all they wanted to do was run to and hug . They wanted to check with their own eyes and hands whether I was truly okay.
But, unfortunately, many people had already gathered around , which prevented them from approaching .
Not even in the dical tent or during the celebration in the Room of Requirent did they get the chance to approach … at least not without soone else nearby.
The constant presence of others completely interfered with their desire to spend so ti alone with — a mont where they could finally express themselves, letting their worries overflow.
So, after everyone went to sleep, and knowing that I had remained alone in the common room, they decided that it was the perfect mont to co to .
What they hadn't expected was that both of them had had exactly the sa idea.
And now, the three of us found ourselves entangled in this rather strange… and dangerously delicate situation.
End.
