Chapter 314: I’ll show you why your daughter calls me daddy

“Well… at the time, to be honest, my impression of Lily was simply that she was a little more beautiful than the others. But she had that dead, hopeless look, which made me uncomfortable. And it was like that for years… until one day, there was an incident. From then on, she changed.”

He began to talk about things that I had also heard recently. He said that since that day, Lily changed and brought great changes to those around her, she began to get his attention, and they interacted more.

She was kind, she listened to him, she gave him good advice that was always spot on. He was not yet a marquis, and he was full of personal problems that she helped him understand and solve.

They became friends. And he wanted to return the favor. So when he became marquis, he needed no excuses: the twins were talented, worth sponsoring.

He talked to Lily and they signed a marriage contract, with many benefits for her and the twins.

He also said that he had benefited, but he didn’t specify in what, as Lily, for some reason, forbade him to talk about it. Which now intrigues me a bit.

I don’t know if they’re related, but I feel that, rather than a joke, it’s related to the fact that he won’t let me tell him my secrets and is waiting for the right time.

Anyway, according to him, it was also a way to protect her, to pay her back for everything she had done for him in his most difficult years.

He appreciated her. He wanted the best for her. And he didn’t mind the comments; that’s why he made her his wife, even though she was a beastwoman and plebeian who worked in a brothel.

Although – he also bluntly admitted that there was a strong physical attraction to her, because of how beautiful and sensual her body was.

And Lily’s various techniques had also captivated him.

With what he told me so far… it all made sense. Actually, when Lily told me a bit of her past, I thought that, to her supposed husband – whose identity I didn’t know at the time – she had cajoled him with her technique to get where he was.

I didn’t judge her. She was struggling to pick herself up and move on, and whatever the method…she succeeded, and all for the sake of her daughters.

I now have the true picture of what really happened, and my opinion of her is still intact.

“Well, kid. You shouldn’t have a problem with me telling you that I did it many times with my wife, should you?”

“…No.”

“Mhn.., I see you’re possessive too.”

Well, I did get a little annoyed that he talked about Lily so familiarly, but ultimately I’m still the wrong one, so I’ll just listen quietly until the end.

“Anyway. Her techniques and beauty aside, as I told you, I admired Lily. And, to be honest… she was my first love. I won’t deny that it was also out of greed that I wanted her as a wife, even if it wasn’t entirely necessary, but…”

“…”

I didn’t know what he was going to say next, but he seemed to hesitate. He was silent for a long time, until he finally seemed to make up his mind.

“…Haaa~, well, I’ll say it straight out: I bit off more than I could chew and choked.”

“…”

“Lily is too much for me physically, even though she’s a non-metamorphosis person. When I was the only one she could do it with, I just couldn’t keep up with her.”

“…”

“Don’t look at me like that, kid. You should know how fierce she is, too. Ugh… you know, sometimes I had to pretend I had too much work to not go home, where I’m sure she was.”

“…”

“I just couldn’t keep up with her. And besides, I had two other wives. There started to be marital problems….. Lily would suck me dry, and I couldn’t satisfy my other wives, even Lily would complain without holding back, you know how direct she is, my heart just couldn’t take it.”

“…”

“Even today, I recommend her to stay at her place, I still respect and admire her, I swear I do, but when I remember that time, ugh!…, you know, I even had to go to the doctor. I almost suffered from impotence, the doctor also said I had signs of gynophobia! Even, even now from time to time, when I sleep, in my dream she, she, she…!”

“calm, breathe. That’s in the past, okay, breathe, I get it, stop talking about it, it sounds like it was hard for you.”

The Marquis started to get a little altered, so I tried to calm him down. Not that I could identify with him, but I could tell he had had a hard time.

It seemed that for him I was the first person he could vent to, and he just went with it.

I don’t know how the hell I ended up giving emotional support to the man with whom, in theory, I should be having a fight to the death, but I had to admit that Lily seemed to leave an indelible mark on him.

“Haaa~ I’ve already calmed down. Well, besides what I just said, I still wanted her to be happy. so I made the hard decision to let her go and let her do whatever she wanted.”

“I understand…so that’s the reason why you’re so calm, with my relationship with her.”

“Yeah, well. Like I told you, from the beginning it was all more of a beneficial contract. And I know Lily didn’t really love me. She saw me more as a younger brother or a cute guy she got along with.”

“so she put you in the friend zone huh, that’s tough”

“well at first it bothered me and I wanted to change it, but as I told you I couldn’t, And well I already missed my chance… in the end she found you, someone who according to her was all she could ask for and could live up to her, which I honestly thought was impossible”.

“hee~ you don’t have to flatter me.”

“I’m not doing it you’re definitely not normal.”

“…”

“well the thing is When they started dating, she was straight up and told me and said we couldn’t do it anymore, even though she hadn’t done it in years, you know at that moment I felt more relief than anything, that’s when I understood that Lily wasn’t for me, even though she’s someone very dear to me, that’s why I don’t mind their relationship.”

“Haaa~…damn. And here I was, worried about nothing…. Now I understand why she was so calm. She was playing a joke on us by not telling us the circumstances. When Eria finds out, she’s going to get karma.”

“She’s still like a kid… hey, you know? I’ve been married to her for years, I know she’s older than me , but I don’t know her age. did she happen to tell you?”

“No. Haa~ but it’s true she kept me on edge for nothing…. Mmm, although, you know, now that I know we’re not doing anything wrong, it kind of took a little excitement out of it.”

“Fuck, kid, I know why she likes you. You two are a match made in heaven.”

“You think so? Me too. But I’ll settle for two being legally married.”

“She said something like that too! Haaa~ Just take care of her properly. even I don’t know her past, but I know it must have been hard, she’s suffered a lot all her life… she deserves to be happy, from now on.”

“Of course, you don’t have to tell me. I’ll make sure I do, leave your wife in my care.”

“kid, I didn’t like the sound of that, haa~…, whatever, I hope you’re up to it… Well, let’s close that subject, since with Lily everything is fine and you seem reliable!”

In the end, everything ended better than I thought it would, I didn’t expect it, but it seems that if there was an ending where Marques and I would get along, which is good news, yes, until I heard what he said next.

“But let’s see, you son of a bitch, tell me: why are you dating my two cute little daughters… at the same time?”

“Huh? Why the sudden change? More like… why are you talking like a gangster?”

“I told you, I spent a lot of time slumming. Don’t change the subject! Lily is one thing, but I don’t agree about my little girls. You bastard. Every time I think about it, I want to kill you!”

“Wait! What the hell?!”

“But I won’t kill you, because Lily, told me it was coincidence and not on purpose, and because the fact that those three chose you already tells me a lot. but that aside, I still personally can’t approve of you dating my two daughters at the same time”

“Are you serious?! Did you find it easier to give up your wife than your daughters?”

“Yes. Is there a problem, they may be adopted, but they’re my little girls, I’m going to teach you a lesson As your father-in-law, I have to prove that my cuties aren’t with an idiot. So you’re going to get my frustration…I mean, my proof, motherfucker. Grit your teeth.”

“Hey, wait! I’m still processing everything-agh!”

“I’m not waiting for anything.”

I wanted to negotiate. I wanted us to stay on the peaceful path, since it seemed like we could get along, I wanted us to talk like adults… but he started with the physical and gave me a fist to the head that shook me.

“Damn, that hurt! Fine, bastard, I don’t mind the punches. I won’t kill you either, because I feel sorry for you, for actually dating your wife. But I’ll show you why your daughter calls me daddy!”

“You son of a bitch, I’ll knock you out for three days!”

“You’ll be missing hands!”

And with that, I jumped towards the marquis giving the first preemptive strike. We would settle this as it was intended from the beginning. I had no fear.
