I was currently being dressed up. In a short while, Alissa's parents would be here, and I will be meeting them for the first time ever. I had thought I would meet them as her friend and never thought it would be as her lover. "Mmm… Rei, you look good in everything."
Alissa once again had a perverted look in her eyes. I was currently in my underwear, standing in front of a mirror as Emily and Ruth kept putting dresses up to me one after the other. And Alissa was standing to the side, staring at me. This was something I was used to since she did the same in the bath. You could say I am immune to her stare. If it were someone else, I would have hit them long ago, but I could never do such a thing to Alissa.
"Hmm, I think this white one still suits you best. It has black lace in all the right places. Not to mention the embroidery is well done. To go with it, let's go with these accessories to match the pendant your master gave you and this pair of shoes. Mmmm.. yes, no matter what, my dear Rei is always cute. As a mother, I am very happy. Alright, let's get it on her! Fey!" Ruth said before calling her personal maid over, and before I knew it, I was being stripped of even my underwear. Ruth gave me a black set of bra and panties to put on. Once they were on, they helped me into my dress.
By the time I was done, I had already felt exhausted. But when I looked in the mirror, I was shocked at how I looked. I usually do not think of myself as pretty, but on this night, I had to say I looked amazing. "Rei, you're so beautiful!" Even Alissa jumped on me and kissed my lips.
"Alissa, save that for later. Rei will be going to your room tonight after all. This can be considered your wedding day. When you both reach old age, we will hold you a small ceremony. Normally concubines do not get one, but I can not see such a nice girl like you going without." It seemed Ruth planned to hold a wedding for Alissa without me needing to ask about it. I had gotten Able's permission, but I never asked Ruth about it.
"Hehe! I can't wait. To think I can actually walk down the aisle with Rei at my side. Mother in Law, I thank you!" Alissa said happily.
"Think nothing of it. I am sure even if I did not mention it, Rei would have come to me to ask for one for you." Ruth waved it off as no big deal.
I felt slightly bad about tonight. Because I was meeting Alissa's parents, Able could not be there. It would be myself, Alissa, Ruth, and Cedric. Able said he would take dinner in his room. I told him I would visit him later while still in my dress so you can see it and so we can have some alone time. I will not lie. Our alone time normally consists of a lot of kissing. I am starting to think I am becoming a kissing fiend… But I guess this is how we express our love for one another.
I walked down the stairs and really began to get nervous as I could hear someone yelling at the top of their lungs. "Ronstine family or not, you can not just do as you please and kidnap my daughter! Who said you could just make my daughter a concubine of someone else and a girl no less! I demand that you return her to me this instant! She Is to marry Freed here. The son of an up-and-coming conglomerate in the capital!"
Alissa gripped my hand and looked up at me. "Rei, that is my father. I am sorry… I never mentioned anything about you, and he had already set me up to be engaged with someone else. But I could not be with someone else when I loved you and only you."
This was very new to me. In Magical Love, Alissa never had any prior engagement. I wonder if this was something that ended before she went to the magic academy… I smiled at Alissa and held her hand tight and brought it to my lips, and kissed it. "Do not worry; we will get through this together."
"That is right, plus you have me on your side." Ruth said, giving us both a hug from behind.
We walked to the room where the voices were coming from to find Cedric red in the face. I could tell he was really holding back the urge to knock the man in front of him clear across the room. His name was Thomas Coborne, a very successful merchant. He had many connections and had a chain of stores all over the kingdom. He was slightly plump and wore a grey suit looking different from his usual self. Next to him was his wife Gloria, who had a worried look on her face as she tried to calm her husband down. And behind the two was a young man who looked to be twenty years of age with a black suit on. The only issue was this man was very, very ugly. My guess this was the person he was talking about, Freed.
"Dad..." I spoke up, causing the whole room to become quiet. All eyes turned on to me. Cedric smiled brightly seeing me, and the other three stared at me with wide eyes.
"Alissa! Get your ass over here now and meet your true fiance! What is all this about you becoming a damn concubine to some slut!?" Ahh yeah, it seems everyone I run into likes to call me a slut… first, it was Sara, then her mother, and now… Alissa's father. I am starting to get sick of this word.
"Father, how dare you say such a thing to my Rei! Take it back now, or I will make you wish you were never born!"
