167 4.29 Let us stay with you - Part 2

"Alright, let's make this quick since we need to leave early tomorrow. What is that you want to talk about?"

"It's just that…"

Anna was trying to say something, but she stopped before she could finish.

I had no experience with women, so I had no way of knowing what they were thinking. Unlike those men that did, I would need the exact words to understand what they are feeling.

This was the weakness I possessed, and not just me; this was a common weakness among the men from my previous world.

"Anna, if you keep on putting it like a puzzle, I won't be able to understand. Or, in the worst case, I might end up misunderstanding you. Calm down, and tell me what you are thinking."

Anna tried taking long breaths to calm herself down, but that wasn't working very well. She stepped back and sat on the bed, and so did Eliane.

Since Anna wasn't saying anything, I turned towards Eliane for an explanation.

"What is it, Eliane?"

"Well, Anna came here to express her feelings for you and tell you that she loves you… however, that didn't go as planned since she lost her confidence halfway."

"Eliane!"—She looked down at her hands that she was holding tight—"I was planning to do it myself, you know."

"And like when? When you reach the palace and become the Princess again?"

"But, but… you love him too, right?"

Eliane looked down with a slight smile.

I was dumb when the matters were regarding the feeling and emotions of girls. But I was not that stupid to not understand what this meant.

"...well, this is a surprise."

"It is?!"—Princess Eliane looked at me in surprise—"I thought you already knew."

This just now made me feel like I was the densest idiot in the world. I felt a little sorry for them because they had to go through all this due to my insensitiveness.

"So, what do you think, Nara? Who will you choose between the two of us?" Princess Anna asked after mustering all the courage she could.

She looked so cute while saying that, that I felt like hugging her again. But then I realized Princess Eliane also looked somewhat anxious, so I calmed myself down.

At the end of the day, it was I who needed to resolve this situation.

"I-I am sure you will choose Eliane since she has big boobs. You like them, right?"

"What do you mean? I am not into boobs—I mean, I don't dislike them or anything, but I don't think I can make a choice here based on them."

After I said that, Princess Eliane looked a bit sad. "Yeah, I knew you would choose her. She is cute and— human, after all. To your eyes, I may not even look attractive."

The way this conversation was going, I wouldn't even get time to think things through. In my situation, choosing both seemed easier than selecting one of them. However, I was not sure if I would be able to support them with my income.

Then again, since both of them were princesses of a nation, I don't think they would need much support from me.

"I can't choose between the two of you. It's either both or none. And right now, I don't think I am ready for either of you, so we will need to wait until we are adults."

Even though this was how I felt, I was sure this wasn't something they would agree on.

Polygamy wasn't illegal and frequently observed in different societies, but it was rarely seen among royals. And even if it was legal, there were very few who were happy with multiple wives.

No matter how close they might be, the fight would start between them sooner or later. When that happens, the husband would need to choose a side of one.

I was sure the two were already aware of that. Both of them were amazing girls, and they both deserved to be happy. And with the way things are, I wasn't even sure if I would be able to keep either of them happy, let alone both of them.

Princess Anna looked towards Princess Eliane, who responded with a nod. She then turned towards me.

"I think both of us will be happier with you than apart from you, so please accept both of us."

That complicated the whole matter. If I were to stop worrying about the world and everything else right now, the choice was obvious. There were two amazing girls proposing to me, and if I were to deny something like this, no way in hell, I would find someone better.

Different kinds of thoughts were coming to my mind, and for once, I had no idea what to do or what to even think.

'Dammit! I have to be a man here. Let's see where it goes. I will have plenty of time to think about everything later. It's not like I am going to get engaged to any of them anytime soon.'

"Alright, I have decided. Since I love both of you the same, both of you can be my girlfriends."

Both of them smiled and jumped at me from the front. After the second round of hugs, the whole room went into silence.

That meant there was nothing more to talk about. Both of them looked happy, and for some reason, looking at them like that made me happy too.

"So, are you guys going back to your rooms, or what? I am tired, you know."

"Will it disturb you if we just stay with you here tonight."

That was a difficult question to answer, and the straight answer would be 'yes.' However, that was not the only issue.

We were with a squad of knights here, and I was not related to the princesses in any manners. Even if I was, the rumors might start of them being impure or in some sort of illicit relationship. I wanted to avoid that as much as possible.

"It won't, but I think out of respect for everyone else, we shouldn't stay together tonight. Also, the knights worked hard to prepare the rooms for it. It would be rude to let them go to waste."

"Alright then… However, before we leave, we want something from you," Princess Eliane said. It looked like she already knew our conversation was going to head this way.

"We both want a kiss from you."

My heart started beating heavily. I didn't have much experience when it came to kissing anyone. However, there was a catch. Since the two of them didn't have any experience either, they too wouldn't be able to tell how it went.

Princess Eline looked towards Princess Anna. "Since I am older than you, I will go first."

"Alright. I will go after you."

She looked a little shy, but I was surprised she agreed to it so easily. However, the problem was: 'How could they already decide without even asking if I approve it or not?'

Before I could say anything, Princess Eliane came and stood in front of me. It was then that my thoughts stopped. All I could focus on was her.

She looked beautiful, more beautiful than I ever deserved. When I looked into her eyes, she giggled. There was a hint of shyness in those eyes, but she was acting more confident than me.

I caught her arms and pulled her closer. And when I wrapped my arms around her waist, I could feel her breasts touching me. They were soft and felt amazing; however, I had no time to be swayed by those.

As soon as our eyes met, my concentration was completely diverted to those. And when our noses touched each other, my lips were already over hers.

I wasn't doing anything; my body was doing everything on its own. This was all happening reflexively, but it wasn't like I wasn't enjoying it.

Her skin smelled like roses, and her lips tasted a little sweet. I could feel a warmth developing within me. I felt so attracted to her that I just wanted to keep her in my embrace the whole night.

The fatigue I was feeling, the sleepiness in me was all gone. My mind went blank, and all I could feel was her lips and my heartbeat, which was as loud as the horse running in the horse track.

It was like time was frozen, and I was so immersed that it took me a while to realize that I was running out of breath. I pulled my lips away from hers, and then our foreheads touched.

We then looked at each other's eyes for one last time before separating from each other.

For once, I completely forgot Anna was even in the room. I couldn't help but feel embarrassed when I saw her red face.

It wasn't much different for Eliane, who quickly rushed out of the room, saying, "sorry, please excuse me."
