RISE OF EROS

"Queen Mother!" Victoria shouted in a tone so loud that no one had heard before. The blush on her face was evident, but Daphne didn't care about her claim, she always kept her gaze on Andrew.

Andrew, although he was not embarrassed like Victoria, was still speechless. Among all the scenarios they had simulated last week, it never occurred to them that they wanted to pair him with Victoria.

If you thought about it, it was the most possible option. Victoria was the one who brought them, she is a client and supplier of Andrew and the others, not to mention that she is friends with them, she is the perfect person to become a wife for Andrew from part of the kingdom.

However, perhaps for these same reasons they never thought that they would propose her as his wife. Honestly, Andrew and his wives were surprised at the sudden proposal, but they weren't really against it.

Although there was still no love between Andrew and her, as with the other girls, it cannot be denied that they are quite intimate, as Victoria visits them frequently and receives messages from Andrew regularly.

Although they only had sex once and it was also to take advantage in some way, Andrew didn't really see the problem with marrying her, however, after thinking for a moment he had to state the problems.

"Mrs. Daphne, although I am not opposed to that decision, there are several problems, the most problematic being the fact that I am married," Andrew responded, but to his surprise, Daphne replied with, "And what does that have to do with it?"

Andrew wrinkled his eyebrows in confusion, so he replied, "Well, I won't give up my wives just for her. I know that in Dunnas nobility and royalty have one-husband rules."

Daphne seemed to realize the problem and laughingly said, "That's true, but there's nothing against sharing a husband." Such a comment confused Andrew and his wives.

Realizing this, she began to explain, "It seems like you don't quite understand the one-husband rule, let me clarify." Daphne paused and continued, "This is so that the line of succession does not become complicated, since if you have many husbands an unwanted pregnancy can be problematic."

"It is easy for a man to have and impregnate many women. He will remain active, so there is no need to fear, but when it is the opposite case it is not the same," Daphne continued to explain.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"If a woman has several husbands, anyone can get her pregnant and this would lead to the woman having between 1 or 2 years of inactivity, which would delay things. Plus, the more children a woman has, the more wear and tear on her body," Daphne said.

This is obvious, but Andrew still didn't understand the point of saying it, so Daphne continued speaking, "In royalty, this is problematic, because we always look for the ideal husband and to avoid succession problems, the rule is ironclad."

"However, for nobles, it is not as rigid, as it only involves the noble family, not the entire kingdom," Daphne concluded. She paused and smilingly added, "Besides, having multiple wives is not abnormal among men in this country."

At that moment everyone understood her words. To summarize, it only needs to be ensured that Andrew and Victoria's children have noble privileges and the other women do not, so there was really no impediment.

Seeing the realization in Andrew's eyes, Daphne asked again, "So, you agree?", but at that moment Victoria intervened, "Aren't you forgetting about me? "Don't I have a say in that decision?".

"No," Daphne replied flatly and Victoria wanted to retort, but then Daphne said, "Girl, stop pretending. I know it doesn't bother you, in fact, I think you like it. You have business with them, you are close and you even have slept together, I don't see the problem." Discover stories with empire

This analysis left Victoria without arguments. She could only lower her head and grumble to the side. Her attitude made everyone smile and Candice broke the mood, "Well, I really don't think it's bad, as long as you don't tie Andrew."

What Candice wanted to say was clear. There was no opposition to the proposal, but they would not allow Andrew to be tied up by the kingdom. In short, it would be Victoria who joins Andrew's harem, not Andrew to the Caltu family.

"Well, to a certain extent, Mr. Andrew would be part of the Caltu family, but don't worry, I assure you that he won't be restricted just because of that," Daphne assured. After that, they embarked on negotiating this marriage.

At the end of the meeting, without expecting it, Andrew ended up in an unexpected political marriage. It wasn't that he was complaining. He liked Victoria, he got along well with her and there were only benefits to the union, but it really was unexpected.

With all that defined, they discussed the shopping center project and it was only when it began to get dark that Andrew and his group said goodbye. Victoria did not leave with them, as Daphne asked her to stay.

Andrew and the others obviously understood that Daphne wanted to give her some guidelines regarding this marriage, but they didn't care. When they arrived at Dunnas Palace they met with everyone and told them what had happened.

Everyone was shocked when they heard that Andrew would have another wife and that he was none other than Victoria. As Candice had said, none of Andrew's wives objected, but they all agreed that she should not tie Andrew to the kingdom.

However, Gastón went further in his analysis, "It's really not a bad deal. First, we have a friendship with her so it is not difficult to include her, but, above all, this gives us a powerful anchor to the kingdom of Dunnas.

For some who didn't understand, Gastón explained. First Victoria was close to the royal family, so by Andrew being her husband they would have the support of the kingdom and in this way what happened in the Cannaris empire would not happen.

Also, thanks to this union it was much easier to include them in the shopping center project without raising discontent among the other merchants, since in short, they would be part of the nobility.

Simply put, there were only benefits, so they didn't worry about it. But then, Helena, who lately seemed to grasp the problems that no one else found, asked, "But what will we do with the succession of the Caltu family?"

"What do you mean?" Aki asked not understanding and Helena explained, "Well, Andrew's children are practically gods, so they will ascend with us, so the Caltu family would be left without an heir."

No one had thought of that and now they were in trouble. Everyone remained silent, not knowing how to proceed, but Andrew, who did not want to bother with the topic any further, said, "Let's not get ahead of ourselves, let's wait for Victoria to talk about it first."

They all agreed and just waited for Victoria. Meanwhile at the royal castle, Daphne, Kenya, and Victoria had moved into Daphne's room and were enjoying tea, while talking.

"Victoria, now that you will have a husband things change," Daphne said seriously and added, "While you have competition you must earn Andrew's favor, it is important for the kingdom that he be our ally."

Victoria listened carefully but immediately stopped Daphne, "Aunt Daphne, I'm afraid you don't understand the situation." At these words, Daphne wrinkled her eyebrows and asked, "What don't I understand?"

"You don't understand Andrew at all. Gaining his favor to tie him to the kingdom is impossible. It is more likely that I will leave the kingdom than that he will bind himself," Victoria explained seriously.

Daphne seemed to misunderstand her words and asked, "Haven't you gotten married and already taken his side?" Victoria laughed when she heard the question and it took her a few minutes to calm down, then she was able to explain.

"It's not that. What I mean is that Andrew can be our ally without playing tricks like that or we will only earn scorn from him. What I am saying is that he will not attach himself to any country the way you want."

Since Daphne didn't seem to understand, Victoria explained in detail. While she hadn't interacted much with Andrew outside of business and massages, but she had talked a lot with Candice and Carolina when they did business.

They could be considered friends and when she spent time with them, it was obvious that the topic of Andrew came up from time to time, so she understood things well in reference to his personality.

Once she explained, Daphne sighed and said, "Well, maybe try and if you can't, at least let him not be an enemy." Victoria nodded and after talking to her for a while she left.

Although it was late, Victoria did not return to her house, but instead went to the Dunnas Palace, since they had just closed a marriage engagement and she had a lot to discuss with Andrew and his people.

Shortly after Victoria left, three old men appeared in Daphne's room. One of them was the elder who appeared at the meeting and upon seeing them, both Kenya and Daphne stood up and bowed, while saying, "Greetings to the elders."

These were the protectors of the kingdom. Just like Cannaris has Demon and Arturios, the Dunnas kingdom has these three elders. The surprising thing is that all three are demigods.

The empire of Cannaris is admittedly more powerful than Dunnas, but even they do not have three demigods to protect the royal family. "Girl, tell us how the meeting went. Don't leave anything out."
