Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

Chapter 383  Long-Awaited Return

Sunny morning, in the emperor's office at the Imperial Palace, Prince Edward was standing before the emperor's desk as the emperor was reading the reports that they had acquired earlier today. "I see. Those four have safely returned to the capital, and then Princess Louise suddenly declared she wanted Christine to be her bride." "So she really meant what she said that night, huh?" The prince said it with a stoic demeanor, which the emperor immediately noticed and bothered him. "Are you okay with that, Edward? It is your former fiancee we are talking about. Don't you care if she is being taken by others?" "I don't have any particular reason to feel that way, Father. I was the one who cut off our engagement, which meant I am letting her go and be with whoever she wants." "..." "Besides, we really need to maintain our relationship with the archduchy, right? Since the Raevender domain has become a nation, would not the Grise family be glad that the queendom wants their daughter? In that case, it would save their face from the humiliation, yes?" "It is not that simple, Edward. Even if they accepted the engagement of Christine and Princess Louise, it was us, the imperial family, who broke their trust. They might have established a diplomatic relationship with a sovereign nation, but there is a possibility that we could not mend our relationship with them." The damage caused by the imperial family to the Grise Archduchy could not be undone through trivial means. Emperor Jeffrey thought that accepting the engagement would not change how the Grise family saw the imperial family. The worst thing he could think of was that the archduchy would completely lose their trust in the empire, which would incite the topic of deflection. The empire was afraid of that since losing the archduchy would cut the empire a significant amount of power. "Very well, Father, I hope the archduchy understands that I won't regret breaking off my engagement with Christine. If their intention was to relate themselves to the empire, they could just marry Christine off to Elgin." "No, we cannot pull your younger brother into this." Without hesitation, the empire immediately rejected the idea. "We all know that he is quite a mischievous child and somewhat troublesome. Do you think the archduchy would accept him?" Elgin Dixon, the second prince of the Empire of Dixon, was Edward's younger brother, who was three years younger than him. He was infamous in the palace for his perky behavior. At a young age, he had already caused countless troubles. From Edward's eyes, he could say that Elgin was arrogant and acted imprincely. It was said that the cause of his awful attitude was that he had been influenced by a minister of theirs who had retired not long ago. "But he is still the second prince of the empire, Father. I am also well aware of how he behaves, but he is still fourteen, young, and rebellious, so he still has some time to mentioning his name to the archduchy would freak them out, much less suggesting marrying their daughter to him. In the meantime, it's better not to offend them and worsen the problem." "I understand, Father. But it really did not bother me when I heard that the two of them were going to marry, on my part at least. It's their life and decision, and I don't have anything to do with them." "Sigh." The emperor sighed. "If that is what you think, then I have to respect your opinion. But we still have some feuds with the Grise Archduchy. Letting them marry their daughter to the queendom won't settle the grudge, so we have to compromise. I will be having a meeting with ministers later, so help me fix the mess you caused." "Of course I will. I am the crown prince, so I should settle things right. See you later, Father." After that short conversation, Prince Edward walked out of the room as the emperor continued reading the other contents of the papers. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

After staying in the villa for, like, four nights and days, all five of us finally made our return to the capital. But immediately after we arrived here, Christine and Iris had to go to their respective families's estates here in the capital to spend time with their families together. "Welcome back, my children. We really missed you two so much." "We're back, Mom, Mother." The moment we stepped on the patio, our parents, including Gabrielle, Sophia, and Mary, came to greet us. We then approached our respective favorite mothers—by the way, this had become an open secret in our household—and hugged them. "I missed you, Mom; we are sorry for making decisions on our own." "It's alright, Raphael. You are doing what's best." As we embraced each other, I felt the softness of her bosom, which I missed for several days. Mom's smell was pleasant too; that alone already stimulated me. It had been a while since I fucked her; this night would be wild. "Mom..." I tightened my embrace on her, but then I loosened it before I unwrapped my arms. Feeling Mom again, my urge to plunge my face into her neck and then kiss it arose. However, I have to contain myself and stop myself from doing so. Natasha was just behind us, and had yet to know about my incestuous relationship with my own parents. "I'm sorry, but I'm home, Sophia." "Welcome home, Raphael." After Mom, I came to my beautiful, as ever, fiancee and gave her a warm hug before I went for her glossy lips and kissed her. I just loved her very much, and since I missed her as well, I might have a wonderful threesome tonight. ◆◇◆◇◆◇

Later on, hours after midnight, I was resting on my bed with Mom and Sophia planking me on both sides, lying sideways facing me, inside my room in the manor. We were fully naked under the warmth of the thick quilt, and we just had our long-awaited threesome. "You know what, dear? We really thought that you were going home holding Iris's hand, but it seems like our anticipation was not going well. Though it would be great if you took her as your bride." "Really, Mom? I am sorry for betraying your anticipation, though," I said, and then shifted my attention to Sophia, who was hugging my torso. "What is your opinion on this, Sophia?" "Well, if you really want to, I would not mind if you took her as your main wife. A nobleman such as yourself must marry someone of noble birth as well, so it's not like I am against it or anything."

"Sophia..." "You really don't have to worry about me, Raphael. Besides, didn't I accept your affairs with other women and permit you to take as many mistresses as you wanted, much less your forbidden relationship with your mothers?" Sophia and Mom giggled as I felt a little bit of guilt. But we had gone this far, so I could not let Sophia's trust in me go in vain. "If you like Iris, please don't hesitate to ask for her hand."

"Very well, Sophia," I said with a bit of enthusiasm. "If you approve of her becoming my wife, then I should exert more effort." With that said, I coiled my arms around these two raven-haired bombshells, and we snuggled before we fell asleep together.
