Aiden's voice grew rougher. "Secondly… I want your total loyalty and submission. That will help me save your life."
Ayashi's lips parted. She looked at him with raw, submissive hunger already burning in her gaze. With trembling hands she reached out, took his hand, and pressed it to her heart.
"I… I, Ayashi Felisara, retired Chief of the Felisara Village of Bunny-Folks… swear my complete and unyielding loyalty to you," she whispered, voice cracking but sincere.
Aiden's grin turned wicked. "And lastly… I want you and your sister Ayako to become my wives. All of you. Every woman I will ever like will be mine."
Ayashi's eyes shot wide open in pure disbelief. The custom of the male chief multiple wives was normal here, but his mother-in-law? The woman who had raised his wife?
"B-but…" she started, coughing again, cheeks burning crimson.
