462,
A sense of unease welled up in the depths of Cyclone's heart.
A balance that even Cyclone himself did not understand was gradually collapsing in an unpredictable way.
Because Elyse was a tool, not a wife, she could not call Cyclone her husband; she could only refer to him as her master.
For the most beautiful and seductive Elyse here, everyone lacked a sense of inferiority due to her not being Cyclone's wife in name.
But if Cyclone were to acknowledge Elyse's status, in that moment, the position of this tool would be on par with the wives.
As a woman, unable to win in terms of physique and also losing status, what would she be considered in front of Cyclone?
Yet, even so, Cyclone simply said,
"You can call me whatever you want, I haven't prohibited you from anything~"
With just a simple sentence, Cyclone ignored the voices of the wives and directly made Elyse one of his wives.
"But... didn't you reject me several times before?" Elyse herself found Cyclone's action unbelievable.
"Yes! Haven't you always found this woman annoying?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Finally, Little Dragon and Eileen spoke up, as they had witnessed how Cyclone continuously rejected Elyse's temptations and remained devoted to the both of them.
"Oh? Yes, indeed, she's quite annoying~" Cyclone didn't deny it.
"I just feel that if I became a royal noble with this woman, my life would be filled with restrictions everywhere, and if it turns out that way... I would find it tedious~"
After listening to Cyclone's explanation, the three wives were stunned.
Only Elyse suddenly grasped Cyclone's right hand.
"T-then, what do you feel about me?"
Without hesitation, Cyclone replied,
"The sexiest woman on the continent wants to be my wife? How could I possibly refuse?"
Cyclone gazed lustfully at Elyse.
"You are no longer a princess now~ Without those royal etiquettes, would I, Cyclone Theordore, not hasten to shape you into my form?!"
Said with a matter-of-fact tone, Cyclone expressed his true thoughts.
His eyes flickering mischievously, he gave a silly grin.
Cyclone Theodore was, at heart, a lecher who delighted in gambling and women.
Doctor?!
Hero?!
Just a facade on Cyclone's surface.
Merely a mask used to show off.
Essentially, Cyclone was still a swordsman; as long as the opponent was strong enough, Cyclone would face them head-on.
Of course, Cyclone never casually chose his opponents but faced powerful enemies with his principles and persistence, challenging only the strongest.
Hence, to this day, the powerful enemies he could fight with numbered five.
Four were already here, and the whereabouts of the fifth were unknown.
Every formidable opponent had one common trait: they would definitely have an alluring bosom.
However, after acquiring the fourth wife, Cyclone spread his arms wide open.
"Today is a special day~ we must celebrate!"
"Celebrate? Um, um can I..."
"You're the star here, speak up! What do you want?"
Elyse picked up a flyer on the table.
Although these flyers were just random trash Cyclone picked up every time they went out, they were Elyse's only way to pass the time while stuck at home.
During the Great Dragon Festival, everyone else was out having fun, but Elyse had to stay home and couldn't go out.
Elyse never complained because she knew being able to stay by Cyclone's side was the happiest thing for her at the moment.
However, this time, Cyclone granted her a wish.
With a baby on the way for their beloved couple, Elyse couldn't resist being a little selfish.
Pointing to the flyer in her hand, Elyse said happily, "I, I want to go here!"
Cyclone took a look and saw it was a specialty hotel that had just opened during the Great Dragon Festival, called 'The Resting Place of Seven Cats'.
"Is it because... of the cats?" Cyclone asked curiously.
To everyone's surprise, Elyse began playing with her hair with her fingers and shyly replied, "Is that... not okay?"
Beautiful, sexy, and now with added cuteness, in that moment, Elyse outshone all of Cyclone's other wives at home.
