241 – Preparation for marriage
After hearing everything from Ed and Adella, Lucas nodded.
The story goes that Ed’s past life was his father, and that those memories and feelings still remain.
When I heard that story, I began to understand that my mother’s gaze towards Ed had been unusual and that Ed had taken particularly good care of me.
“Congratulations, sincerely. And thank you for coming back like this.”
However, rather than being angry, Lucas expressed gratitude.
Because he achieved mental growth after almost dying in Cassandra’s cave (of course, it was a play made by Ed).
Now, he was no longer obsessed with his mother’s approval and had grown into an independent individual who pioneered his own path.
That’s why Ed and Mom’s marriage is not about losing Mom to another man.
My mother, who had suffered from loneliness for a long time, thought that she was finally reaching happiness.
Above all, that person is Ed, whom he respects and follows, and isn’t he the reincarnation of his father?
There will be no happier ending than this.
“But… I think it would be a little difficult to call him father.”
But Lucas felt that Ed was still his friend.
I felt strongly that he was a friend and colleague with whom I had made many memories since I was a first-year academy cadet.
I couldn’t help but feel rejected when I suddenly called such a precious friend my father.
“···Call whatever you want. I have memories of my past life, but the current me is Edgar Fix. “This marriage will not change our relationship.”
However, Ed also did not want this relationship to change.
It has already been four years since I built a relationship with Lucas as his friend.
Now Ed was more accustomed to treating Lucas as a friend.
I just get more attention from him than other friends and I feel a little bit of affection for him.
Ed also considered Lucas a friend.
So Ed and Lucas decided to remain friends, ending this complicated situation.

Afterwards, Ed visited each heroine.
And the order was Isabella – Enya – Charlotte.
This sequence had nothing to do with Ed’s affection.
I just decided on the order in which I thought it would be most difficult to persuade.
“Ha! Therefore. This me. Going in as a concubine…? “I, the grand duchess of the Graham family, will become a concubine to you, a commoner…?”
And as expected, Isabella’s reaction was cold.
No matter how free she is from negativity, her blood is mixed with Lilith’s blood.
A strong possessive and authoritarian tendency is something that cannot be helped.
“Puhup!”
But then.
Suddenly Isabella burst out laughing and looked at Ed playfully.
Eventually, Isabella, who was looking at Ed with her profound eyes, suddenly wrapped her arms around Ed’s neck and pulled him towards her.
Isabella said to Ed, pulling Ed’s face right in front of her nose.
“···Actually, it’s a joke. If that’s the way for you to be happy, I don’t care. “I like just being with you.”
Grand Duchess Isabella of Graham believes that a person’s nobility and lowliness are innate.
However, as a typical aristocrat, her Ed was the only exception.
If she had asked someone other than Ed to become her concubine, she would have torn her to death.
If a lowly commoner-turned-noble had dared to covet him, he would have been severely punished.
If she had dared to set her sights on another woman while being confident, I would have ripped off her manhood…
·····.
···But if the name ‘Edgar Fix’ is attached to that cheeky behavior.
Everything is forgiven.
No, beyond forgiveness, my heart is filled just by being able to be with him.
Because she knew that he was too much for her to keep him to herself.
Because I know that I have received so much love in a world line that has already been repeated hundreds of times.
Isabella looked at Ed with completely unconcerned eyes.
She kissed his lips first.
She confirms that no matter what he does, she will love him with an unchanging heart.
“I love you… As many world lines as I have that you could not save… In this life, I will give you that love. I love you… Ed.”
······Isabella, freed from denial, was lovely.
She is clever, authoritative, and arrogant, but in front of Ed, she becomes a girl who falls in love without fail.
Ed held her beloved as her days went by.
“Hmm~ I expected it. “If Ed is a good guy, no one will abandon him.”
And the next day.
Enya accepted Ed’s words more calmly than she expected.
Enya, who became Ed’s first heroine over many lifetimes.
It always had the power to ease Ed’s mind.
That comfort was evident even in the way she reacted as if it was no big deal to the heavily discussed topic.
“If you want it, I absolutely agree. Just—”
However, she did not mean that she would become her concubine for nothing.
Enya, who was imagining something strange, approached Ed with a seductive smile and hugged him.
Asha’s plump breasts spread warmly against Ed’s chest, and the soft feel stimulated him.
“I want to be the first person to have four children…&”
“····Ugh!”
Enya is the most slutty of Ed’s heroines.
She looked up at Ed with her flushed face.
Her lips and eyes were moist, even to her ears.
“So. Show it here today… ····Ha. “I will have your first child…&”
Ed has been dating Enya for over a year and has already had a relationship.
As a result, Enya no longer hides her tendencies.
Rather, she was full of intent to actively seduce Ed and flirt with him.
That’s right, because Enya’s happiest moments are when she and Ed are playing and making out with each other in her bed after her relationship.
Enya often pulled Ed into bed for those languid moments when her desires were fulfilled.
“I really can’t handle it.”
Just like that, Ed was once again dragged by Enya’s hand and thrown onto the bed.
And Enya, who has somewhat perverted desires.
In order to do various things to Ed, he secretly purchased drugs through a black dealer, put them in a drink, and then gave them to Ed.
She said to Ed with a grin.
“Tonight, you have to be prepared&”
***
3 Days later.
Ed, who had suffered various hardships from Enya, went to see Charlotte after she regained her strength.
However, we have only been dating Charlotte for two months.
There was a heart-fluttering, awkward air between the two.
In the meantime, Ed started talking about marriage.
“Ho, ho, marriage… Ugh… My, I… Eh, with Ed…?”
Charlotte is very embarrassed and begins to stutter her words.
When she takes a special drug that removes her emotions, she becomes a forest witch.
In this ordinary everyday life, her emotions were so abundant that they overflowed and she could not control herself.
Charlotte was so happy and overwhelmed with emotion that she broke down.
“My, I… With Ed… Hmm… Hmm… I… With Ed…”
She was at the bottom of the academy and her appearance was unsightly.
In addition, she comes from a ruined family, has a timid personality, and even stutters when she speaks.
Originally, no one looked at her.
Because her only dream was that she would somehow graduate from the academy and become a civil servant.
She wasn’t sure if she could even achieve that.
Because the financially ruined Verdian family did not have the money to pay Charlotte’s expensive tuition.
In fact, in her last episode, Charlotte was kicked out of her academy, became pessimistic about her own life, and ended her life by hanging herself.
“Thank you… For saving me…”
For Charlotte, Ed was a shining light.
The light that illuminated her talents and potential that would not have been revealed if she had not met him.
Now she can’t imagine life without him. For Charlotte, Ed was her reason and goal for living her life.
As long as she could be with Ed in any form, whether as a concubine or something else, that was enough for her.
“Thank you too. “For being with me in this life.”
However, she was not the only one who wanted Ed.
Ed also felt great joy watching Charlotte improve day by day.
Perhaps that’s why, before she knew it, seeing Charlotte happy had become one of her wishes.
However, when she thought of Charlotte being happy by the side of someone other than her, her heart throbbed and she couldn’t bear it.
Only then did Ed realize that he was in love with her, Charlotte.
She wanted Charlotte so much that she couldn’t tolerate her happiness if he wasn’t by her side.
“Stay by my side forever. “I need you.”
In that way, Ed conveyed his true feelings to her.
Charlotte nodded and fell into Ed’s arms.
The two kissed for a long time.
***
Convinced all the heroines.
Now there is only one person left, the princess.
He was a key figure in the family tree planned by Ed.
“Yes, I am marrying Sephilia… Certainly, in order to maintain a power system, there is nothing better than relying on the power of my family.”
And Ed was the first to go to the emperor to marry Sephilia.
Now, we have become friends who talk to each other comfortably, but that is because he is Sephilia’s father and father-in-law.
“But… Sephilia needs a separate explanation.”
However, unlike other heroines, Sephilia and Ed did not have a loving relationship with each other.
Of course, the princess had personal curiosity and interest in Ed, but even that ended when Ed became romantically involved with several heroines.

Therefore, a political explanation is needed for taking the princess as her true wife.
“···I don’t want to try to trick you. That kid is smarter than you think, so he’ll notice everything. “More than anything else, she also has the power of the magical eye.”
The power of the Demon Eye that exerts absolute power only on humans.
If you try to persuade them clumsily, nothing will work.
The reason for taking the princess as his wife must be explained in an understandable way.
Ed kept that fact in mind and spoke to the emperor.
“If that’s the case, it’s okay. “I plan to propose a deal under the guise of ‘marriage.'”
Ed said that and smiled meaningfully.
