Chapter 343

343 The day everyone is waiting for arrives

“Let’s call it a day.” Vincent stood up and wore his shirt. He placed Plow on his shoulder and prepared to leave.

However, Fabio stopped and asked, “Could the three of you also follow us?”

“I have brought many extra formal clothes as I heard all the people living here will be attending the wedding. ” Fabio said as he looked at Lenn, Renn, and Lian and took their body size by eye.

The three raised a smile, wore a shirt, and followed Vincent and Fabio.

*Afternoon*

Vincent exited the room. Before leaving Fabio to continue with his work, he waved at Lenn, Renn, Lian, and Fabio.

Lenn and Renn looked good. They looked like adults. However, small Lian looked adorable in a suit as he looked like a little adult.

[We can rest our minds at least.]

-What do you mean, Kazumi?-

.....

[Didn’t you hear what Fabio told us? He saw more soldiers than usual patrolling this area. Furthermore, they all were soldiers sponsored by the Grffinheart, Sunrise, Graymoon, and Reddawn families.]

-Yeah. I hope they would still pass from time to time if this is only for a few days or weeks.-

[I am sure Ben would do something about it. But we might need to sponsor some soldiers.]

Vincent stopped. “Sponsored?” He scratched his head and said, “But we barely have money ourselves. How can we help others in their financial crisis?”

[Tsk, tsk, tsk.]

[The people of this world covet people with a healing class and keep them to themselves by everything we learned so far.]

[I assume there aren’t many or any freelance healers around. The sick would need to buy medicine or owe a favor to nobles through sponsorships or possibly slavery.]

[Thus, you can use your Soul Power to use healing for loyalty. Furthermore, the more herbs Iris can grow, the more medicine she can produce.]

*sigh* “Kazumi, my dear. You are starting to scare me. I feel like you can see the future like an omnipotent being.” Vincent sarcastically said. He was actually happy to have a person like Kazumi supporting him. He felt safe and reassured.

[Hehe.]

Plow took this as an opportunity to rub her face against Vincent’s cheek and say, “Plow is not scary. Plow is a good girl.” *pho*

Vincent and Kazumi laughed. Vincent gave Plow a head pat, and he felt eight tails slightly sway on his back.

Vincent went outside after he didn’t see anyone. He thought they were still trying out the dresses and preparing for any last-minute modification for the next day.

Vincent spent the remaining time until dinner time training with Plow beside him, eagerly waiting for each break to sit on him.

Vincent exhausted himself, and his body started to feel sore, but the company of Kazumi and Plow provided a relaxing rest between every session. Unfortunately, his stats didn’t increase, yet everyone would become godly if the stats were easy to increase.

‘Beatrix... should I become a promise maker and increase my stats by completing promises? But I don’t know when I will start to hit the diminishing returns.’ Vincent pondered in the last break before Sakura arrived and informed dinner was being set.

Vincent summoned a water barrel and started wiping his body. He looked and Sakura. On her lavender face were a pair of blushing cheeks.

“Here.” Vincent threw Sakura a small piece of cloth. “Could my girl clean my back?”

“I... I will be gentle...” Sakura tried her best not to hurt Vincent. A while later, Sakura looked more exhausted than Vincent.

Vincent and Sakura walked to the dining hall. He asked how she was feeling, and the reply was good. She wasn’t feeling down or as affected as yesterday.

Sakura tried two wedding dresses and embarrassingly ripped one of the two dresses. However, such an unlucky moment allowed Sakura to relieve her anxiety and fears about what happened yesterday.

Sakura was slowly on the path of recovery after being surprised and attacked by three human men and later killing them with one hammer swing.

Both reached the door leading to the dining hall. “Thank you for cleaning my workshop. I love you.” Sakura forcefully turned Vincent’s body to face her with her strength and kissed his lips.

Sakura blushed and quickly walked to sit and eat.

“Plow was scared.” *Pho* Plow thought she was going to fall off Vincent’s shoulder by the sudden turn.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

[Are you okay? You look like someone punched you in the face instead of receiving a ~very~ passionate kiss.]

“My teeth are intact.” *Phew* He answered while checking for any missing or broken tooth.

Vincent took a seat and placed Plow on the table to eat near him. He chatted with everyone and learned how almost everyone’s day was spent near clothes.

Eliara and Fliara commented how it was their first time trying out luxurious clothes. The twins delivered them the message to visit Maid Xu and try a dress before dinner. They looked happy while eating and going to sleep.

Vincent spent some time in the living room and learned how the three little girls were excited and nervous at the same time. But everyone had the same response.

Later, when the time arrived, Ester, Lupa, Iris, Lilith, Sakura, and Vincent went to sleep for the next big and tiring day.

Vincent closed his eyes and tried to forget how much of a hectic day tomorrow was going to be.

*Day 76*

The morning of the day everyone was waiting for arrived at last.

Vincent had spent a day alone with each of his women in the last six days. He learned more about them as they learned about him. Furthermore, having their date with Vincent allowed the five women of different origins to find a common subject to talk about and get used to each other’s company.

Everyone woke up early on this auspicious day. The kitchen soon became crowded as all the residents met in the same place at the same hour.

As Vincent entered the kitchen, he and Kazumi started to worry about everyone’s safety when they saw the twins and the half-sisters eating a light breakfast in the kitchen. Furthermore, the four of them didn’t seem to mind being in the kitchen instead of guarding the gate.

However, Vincent and Kazumi soon learned that a large group of old soldiers sponsored by the Lionheart family suddenly made their appearance an hour or two before midnight.

They not only offered to be in charge of security, but over ten old veteran soldiers were now patrolling around the wall as well. These old loyal people were the very same ones who fought against the assassins.

Someone knocked on the front door an hour later. Lupa looked excited as she rushed for the entrance door and opened it.

It was the old butler, and he brought with him three carriages to escort everyone to Lilith’s parent’s property.

“Wow” Was the most used word when they saw the three carriages.

The carriages looked authentic and luxurious, unlike the one Lilith’s parents were using. Their condition looked great as if they were brand new, and the gold embellishments were real gold instead of yellow paint.

Two of the carriages had the Lionheart family insignia on them, while the third carriage looked slightly ordinary and older at a second glance. It didn’t have a noble family insignia on it, and the gold was also less reflective.

“Lord Vincent.” The old butler approached Vincent after he noticed him curiously looking at the third carriage.

“Lord Leonis and Lady Teresa purchased two new carriages and rented the third one.” The old butler respectfully extended his hand and pointed at the front two carriages. “Lord Vincent and Lady Lilith will receive one carriage as we were informed there are horses in the stables.”

[Nice. We can have our own luxurious ride now. This is exciting, hehe.]

Today, Kazumi was in a happy mood, and this gift made her even more excited about this day. Even though Kazumi has no physical body, she felt like a princess.

Lupa helped the nervous Iris, Lilith, and Sakura wearing a cover inside a carriage. They looked the most nervous and anxious out of everyone.

“Aren’t you going to join them?” Vincent asked Ester.

Ester looked at him, and it was apparent she was doing her best to keep calm. “I can’t believe the day I never thought would come for me is here. I am living in the day I never thought I would have as I lived with that drunkard ass.” Ester saw Lupa waving to join them inside. “I better go.”

“Ester.” Vincent raised his hand and gave Ester a head pat. “This isn’t your day or my day. This is our day. All of us have butterflies in our bellies.” Vincent smirked and continued, “I look like this because Kazumi sometimes teases me, and I feel less nervous.”

[Well, this cute cupid wants to see her work succeed. The man I am helping needs people he can trust. My harem... ahem, his harem needs to have a solid foundation, hehe.]

-...-

One by one, everyone but one entered the carriages. Sofy asked the coachman of the first carriage to let her sit beside him. She wanted to know how to control the horses and drive a carriage.

The coachman accepted, but he had to ask the old butler if a little delay in their arrival was acceptable. The old butler accepted, and the three carriages soon left.

The three carriages arrived in Lilith’s parent’s mansion a few hours later, as the location was in the northeast part of the city. Furthermore, there were regulations about speeding carriages.

Sofy learned a lot, and she was even given the reins in the last half-hour distance to their arrival. However, the horses were acting slightly stranger than usual when she was the coachwoman.
