It was better to say that she was all out of surprise to react to this.
She had experienced many new things today that had completely caught her off guard, so Ariel no longer had the surprised feeling to react to all of this.
So she just seed like she calmly accepted it all.
But there was sothing that Ariel still had to ask in the end.
"But it doesn't seem like the relationship between all of you is normal. Why does it seem like they're closer to you, more than just having a normal relationship?"
Another chuckle ca from as I said, "Well, that's because we're all married. They are all my wives."
The five of them nodded in agreent to this as smiles slowly crept onto their faces.
It was as if they were very pleased to be introduced as Zwein's wife.
Though there was also a trace of bitterness that was in the eyes of four of them since it had taken them quite a bit of ti to beco that. The only one that acted normally was Cecilia.
Ariel was surprised to hear this, but she didn't refute it.
Rather, it seed like she accepted it quite easily.
She could see that they were happy, so there was nothing that she had to say about it.
This was a world that accepted polygamy after all since it was a ga that was based on the H-ga.
Once she got her answer for this, it seed like Ariel was already done with her questions about us. Instead, there was sothing else that she suddenly asked.
"So what do we do now?"
The way that she said this made it seem like she was prepared to co with us.
I had no idea what she had been planning to do after we made this contract. After all, even if I knew from my knowledge of the ga that she would usually follow the one that ford the contract with her, she was still a living person in this world.
The events of the ga had changed in this world and she was a person with her own thoughts, so she could have decided to go on her own.
But it seed that I was able to convince her to co with us in the end.
That was the real reason why I had said all of that in the first place.
I wanted her to understand what position I had in this kingdom so that she would feel assured
in coming with . After all, there was nothing better than having a big backer when coming to a new land.
There was no one that could be a bigger backer than when it ca to this kingdom.
So I was obviously the right choice to make.
I just calmly said, "We're heading back to port, do you want to co with us?"
Ariel's eyes opened wide with excitent when she heard this, but she quickly controlled herself and just gave a simple nod.
The way that she gave this nod was almost as if this didn't matter to her at all, but there was no hiding the expression that she had revealed earlier.
It was clear that she was excited to visit the human town.
Though that wasn't strange since she was soone who had co all this way to make a contract with soone to beco a human. It was clear that she was soone who was very interested in humans, though no one really knew why she was that into humans.
Before we could climb onto the ship though, Ariel suddenly asked, "Right, you said that you wanted a favour from for helping with the contract. What favour did you want to ask of ?"
I looked at her with a faint smile and said, "This is sothing that will take so ti, so how about we discuss it once we're back on land?"
Ariel raised a brow when she heard this, but after looking at for a bit, she still said, "Alright."
It seed that I had at least made a good impression on her that she would trust to this extent.
The shadows were naturally surprised to see Ariel coming back with us.
They hadn't seen what had happened in the rowboat, so they could only ask my wives for what happened. It seed like not a single one of them wanted to ask .
It wasn't that they didn't trust ...it was that they looked at like they were saying...
"It's your responsibility to take care of her."
As for who the 'her' that they were referring to was... It was naturally Ariel.
It was like they had suddenly deed to be her babysitter.
There was nothing that I could say about this, but it certainly was a strange feeling having this task forced onto .
Once they finished hearing the story from my wives, all of the shadows looked at with strange looks.
I was used to these looks.
These were the sa looks that I received when I led the army in the war.
It was the way that soone looked at a person that they considered completely unnatural.
It was the way that they looked at a freak.
There was a small part of that felt bitter about this, but I didn't hold it against them since what I had done was really abnormal.
Ariel also saw this, so she leaned in and whispered, "Are you a tyrant? It doesn't seem like your subordinates like you very much."
I felt even more bitter when I heard this, but I didn't say a thing.
I just looked at the shadows and said with a sigh, "Stop wasting ti, let's go back. We're done here."
They all looked at Ariel one more ti when they heard this before nodding in response.
Since the water monster that had been causing trouble had been dealt with, this matter certainly was over.
But they were worried about bringing this water monster back with them...
Their king really made life hard for them sotis.
