Axel paused for a moment, contemplating what to say next.
Before he left, he noticed Queen Wisteria's expression. Though she wore a smile, he could sense the fury boiling just beneath the surface. She had just discovered that one of her daughters had dared to involve herself with another woman's partner.
To put it in his terms, it was akin to sleeping with your brother's wife. There's no way that would be acceptable!
As such, Queen Wisteria's intentions were clear...
"I guess Nina's here to stay?" Axel concluded.
Nina remained silent, giving a subtle nod of agreement.
"Hmm..." Teruria mused, her gaze fixed on her elder sister as she narrowed her eyes. "Then... what's with her count, my dear husband? Two?"
"Ah, that..."
This time, it was Axel who felt awkward.
After all, only he and Teruria, among those present, could see the system's windows. That which included the passive abilities they had gained from merging the Settlement Management and Resident Management functions.
