Chapter 578

“Y-you can’t!” I said, stepping forward. “Didn’t you notice that Faeyna is an elf?”

“Hmm? Ah! What luck! Your species is all but extinct. An elf maid, it truly is my lucky day.”

“If she has sex, then she won’t be able to produce a baby with anyone else. The elf line will go extinct!” I declared.

“Huh?” He looked at me with his head cocked to the side. “Elves don’t imprint through sex. They imprint through the exchange of any body fluids. As for this elf, she has already exchanged body fluids with someone. In reality, no matter what I do to her, she won’t get pregnant!”

“You…” I narrowed my eyes angrily, but then the words he said finally struck home.

Wait. Has she already imprinted with someone? I thought when I bought her. She hadn’t been imprinted. It was a bit of a miracle, almost too good to be true, but she hadn’t exchanged any body fluids with anyone else. After I took her in as a slave, there wasn’t- oh. I suddenly remembered kissing her countless times. The first of which was right after I had saved her from Shao in the Capital city. I turned to look at Faeyna in surprise. Her face was red, and she was looking down.

“Faeyna… is this true…”

“M-master… it’s… it’s none of your business?”

“Eh?”

“Wh-who I decide to imprint with is my own choice!” She responded insistently.

“Wait! If that person is me, I definitely should have a say in the matter!”

She looked away this time. “Th-this is why I didn’t want to tell you! I chose you, Master. It has to be you! That was my choice. I don’t care if I grow to be an old lady and die without ever having a baby. It will only be if it is with you!”

“F-Faeyna…”

I heard a loud sob come from her. “I get it! I didn’t want to put that kind of pressure on you. I know you’ve never seen me that way. I see how you look at and love the other girls. You said it yourself. You have no interest in having sex with me. So, just forget you heard anything! I’ll be your cook! I’ll be your maid. I’ll manage your home! I’ll do it all, and I won’t ask for anything! J-just… don’t throw me away!”

She was openly crying now, tears running down her face in streams as she looked away. That’s why she didn’t see me approach, not realizing it when I had raised a hand over her head, and then softly chopped her head.

“Ah!” She cried out, but before she could act, I wrapped my arms around her, hugging her tightly.

“You dummy,” I said, biting the tip of her elf ear. “You should have just made your desires known.”

“Eh… b-b-but…”

“No buts… since my elf girl wants a baby, I’ll give you a baby.”

“I want a baby,” Shao said.

“Not now, Shao!” I shot her a glare as she stuck her tongue out at me before turning back to Faeyna. “The first time we kissed, what did I tell you?”

“You… will support me?”

“You are my woman. You have been since the second I bought you. I will support you with everything I have, and give you my everything.”

Tears started to fall down her eyes for a different reason, and her body shook in my arms. She turned around as I still held her closely.

“Oh… Deek…”

“I will never throw away a woman who depends on me, and I will never give up what I have already made mine. That’s simply the kind of person I am now.”

Our lips met, and we kissed passionately. I heard sniffling around me, and I realized the girls were all crying and smiling. Even the queen had a spectral tear in her eye.

“Hmph!” The King’s voice interrupted our moment and there was an ugly expression on his face. “You think you can truly give every woman your all? At some point, you have to choose! There can only be a single woman you can devote yourself to! The rest are just a good time!”

“Those are the words of a man who is too weak to handle more than one woman. To quote a wise ruler, it isn’t enough to be a man, you have to be a man’s man!”

“We’ll see!” He spat back. “Words are weak! Let’s see if you truly have the strength to hold on to what you want because I’m going to take it all from you.”
