CHAPTER 467
The existence of these three elders is the reason why Dunnas royalty only married one man in their entire lives. Today few know it, but in their youth, they were the husbands of the queens of their time.
The queens of this country always choose a man who is strong and has potential, so if they can survive to a certain extent, they can reach the status of these three elders.
Since they enjoyed all the benefits of the kingdom in their youth, now that they reached the demigod stage they became guardians of the kingdom. Even many countries do not know about this, since royalty always declares their deaths and hides their power. Read latest chapters at empire
On paper, Dunnas is a kingdom with a medium military force, but that is only a smoke screen that the kingdom itself had launched since it has many hidden experts.
For this reason, Daphne did not dare to hide anything, because these elders are really her ancestors. The three elders listened to the whole story carefully, because they knew that Andrew was not a normal person.
While it is true that one of them had evaluated him and did not feel any hostility towards the kingdom, it did not change the fact that care should be taken with him. Andrew didn't know that that old man had a very special ability.
He has the ability to read people's characters. His ability is very accurate, but not infallible, and the reason why Fluffy didn't notice it is because this is not a blessing like Oliver's aura eyes.
In fact, it is a simple skill acquired through experience. For this reason, it is not 100% accurate, but if this old man said that he was the second to judge someone's character, no one would dare to declare themselves the first.
Because of this, when he told the other two elders about Andrew, they were not so worried, since he had already been evaluated and there seemed to be no problems, but they still had to be vigilant.
After Daphne finished telling everything, the old man who had evaluated Andrew said, "You were right to match him with Victoria, but I share the girl's thoughts. That young man will not be tied to the empire."
The old man paused and added, "But that doesn't mean he can't give us benefits by being friendly with him. The mere idea of that shopping center is already a big win, don't ruin it."
Daphne nodded immediately and the three elders left without saying anything else. Daphne looked at Kenia and said, "You know what to do," to which the maid nodded and disappeared into the shadows.
Meanwhile, Victoria arrived at Dunnas Palace. As it was already night, the Dunnas Palace had opened its doors for business, so the establishment was very lively.
When the receptionists saw her arrive they immediately sent someone to notify Andrew of her arrival while they received her. Victoria didn't have to wait long when Andrew's message came saying to let her through.
Although she knew the way, she still was guided by one of the employees. As usual, Victoria entered alone, but unlike the previous times, Andrew did not attend to her alone as he always did.
His wives and children were also in the office. Victoria was surprised to see so many women and children in the office since she only knew Candice and Carolina. Although she knew that Andrew had other wives, she did not expect them to be so many and especially not to have children.
Despite her surprise, she recovered quickly and approached a little timidly. She had never been as nervous as she was now and it was obvious since she was in the presence of her future husband, her future sisters, and apparently several of her future nephews.
Although she hid that nervousness very well, before Andrew's Eros eyes that was useless, he could see the aura of nervousness and unexpectedly the aura of amorousness around her.
Previously, Andrew had noticed that Victoria had an aura of desire and sincerity when she visited him, but after the meeting and confirmation of the engagement, somehow the desire had changed to love.
It wasn't as strong as the other girls, but it was evident that her feelings had changed a lot after the engagement. When the girls saw Victoria's arrival, they looked at her with some curiosity, because apart from Candice and Carolina, the others didn't know her.
The children were even more curious since they had never seen her and most of them were already 2 years old. Not only that, they were very intelligent for a 2-year-old, so they were very curious about the beautiful woman who had appeared.
"I guess this is the first time I've seen many of you. I'm Victoria and it looks like I'll be your sister from now on," Victoria introduced herself a little nervously but determined.
Helena who is the oldest and friendliest of all, approached, and after introducing herself, she also introduced all the other girls. Victoria was surprised to see that she was received with kindness.
In fact, she was suspicious of this kindness, as it is common knowledge that harems are not peaceful at all and she was surprised to see that here it seemed to be quite the opposite.
Andrew, as if understanding her thoughts, said, "You will understand things better when you join formally, but first we must discuss some important issues."
Victoria nodded to Andrew's words and took a seat in one of the office chairs. Helena poured her some tea and then the conversations began.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Victoria, although I accepted this engagement, I have some clarifications that I must make," Andrew began, and seeing Victoria nodded, he continued, "As I said at the meeting, I will not abandon my wives, nor will I tie myself to the kingdom of Dunnas."
Although that had already been made clear, in the meeting with Daphne, there, it seemed more like a negotiation, but here, it was a conversation with his future wife, so he had to clear things up from the beginning.
Victoria understood what Andrew meant and responded, "I understand that well. In fact, it was made that, very clear to the queen's mother, so you should not worry. I just hope you don't put me in the middle of you and my country."
"Don't worry, as long as they are friendly to me, I won't be stingy in being nice to them, so it's not me you should say that to," Andrew replied with a smile.
With that settled, Andrew moved on to the next topic, "The other thing I want to discuss with you is the topic of marriage and your family." The sudden topic confused Victoria and she couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by that?"
"Well, you see, none of my wives have ever received a marriage ceremony. Well, Zany and I had a little ritual from the Amazons, but your case is special since you are a noble," Andrew said.
He paused and added, "Then I want to know, what are the customs?", to which Victoria replied, "Well, I am the current bearer of my family's noble title, so a formal announcement of my engagement is necessary and a ceremony too."
"There comes the other issue. If you marry me, our children will not be able to inherit that title and if they do, it will be difficult for them to pass it on to their descendants," Andrew said seriously.
Victoria was now lost, as she did not understand what Andrew meant. Obviously, Andrew and the others were aware that Victoria didn't understand, but there was no way to explain to her that Andrew was a candidate for god and that children will be god in the future.
Although he had engaged himself to her and now there were some feelings of love, they were still not strong enough to confess that to her. In fact, Andrew was sure that even if he accepted her as his wife, there was still no such bond that would allow the seal of wife to appear on her.
For this reason, Andrew had to be ambiguous, but make things clear to her, "You will understand the reasons in time. At the moment I can't explain them to you, but believe me, it will be a problem, so...".
Despite her confusion, Victoria decided to accept what Andrew was saying. "Well, I don't really intend to retain my title. In fact, I am waiting for my cousins to reach the age to hand over the position to them, so heirs should not be a problem, but the announcement of the engagement and the ceremony must take place, that not only depends on the title but on my belonging to a noble family."
"I have no problem with that," Andrew said relieved to learn that Victoria was planning to give up her title, and added, "While the right thing to do would be to give my wives a ceremony before yours, they don't care about that, so you'll be on your own."
"Feel special while you can," Candice said jokingly, which made everyone laugh. Even Victoria laughed because she understood that they were joking with her. After finishing laughing, Andrew said, "Well, with that settled, you should stay tonight."
"Yes, you will experience something you've never experienced before", Carolina said with a fake sinister smile, which made Victoria nervous and Andrew had to scold her, "Stop scaring her. Do not listen to her. It is nothing to be scared of".
