Hiro who was on his knees held his breath and waited. Asking his wives to go with him to the battlefield meant exposing them to danger. But to him, leaving them at home was equally dangerous.
And being weak by the time the invasion comes is just stupid. Survival only comes to those desperate enough to take it. Hiro didn't want his wives to waste away waiting for him.
They had both courage and intelligence. His woman being as weak as they were risked injury and pain to fight a man who would otherwise kill him. Thus Hiro believed just like how he raised the San-Baka and Tsugumi.
Vanessa, Jade, and Raylene could become powerhouses. But this would be incredibly selfish of him. If they did not wish for a life of battle forcing them into one just so he feels better could not be considered love. It would be considered an obsession.
Like a drug, Hiro needed the love and warmth of the three women in front of him. He could say a thousand euphemisms but there is no other explanation for it. Beyond terrified of being rejected Hiro had no plan B. If his women walked away committing suicide seemed like a good alternative.
As Hiro pictured how he would do it, three bodies embraced him from all sides. And quiet whispers entered his ears.
"Darling, I am sorry, I was just scared. But if you have that much faith in me It will be unsightly of me to abandon the one I love. I will be your empress. I will be the shield that protects you and the blade to guard your back."
"My Love, what kind of wife would I be if I still walk away after my husband bore his heart to me? Even more than riches or power, knowing you value me so much makes me the happiest woman in the world. Please let me accompany you as both your wife and your sword."
"Husband. Together we stand. Together we fall. Your enemies. My enemies. Where you die. There I will also. My life. My heart. My strength. My everything. Belongs only to you. "
Hiro who heard their responses felt a huge stone removed from his chest. The words of his troublesome sister and father-in-law echoed in his ears.
(Nii-sama, if they are anything like the stories you told me. My Onee-samas are way tougher than you give them credit for.)
(Could you imagine? These girls who suffered for years in silence now all wanted to murder the strongest daughter of this kingdom because of a dumbass bastard. I have no idea how it happened, but those three right now value the life of that bastard above their own for some reason.
(And they are now challenging the strongest bastard in this empire after the emperor for the said bastard.)
Three sets of Calibers then rose up and rotated inside the room like a hurricane. The wind loudly echoed and the furniture in the place started to disintegrate. Outside the room, the San-Baka, Tsugumi, Alan, and Xing all were panicking.
The energy signature was growing without pause, golder lights could be seen from the window as a golden-colored field wrapped around the Arcus kiss.
Hiro's voice then echoed for all to hear. The power and the majesty crushed everyone who had lesser wills. Luckily before they entered Hiro Isolated the brothel and everything inside it with [Cavea No Regeneratio].
This ensured that not unless they had pass a certain AGI threshold, this place would remain invisible to them.
"I Hiroyuki Mitsurugi, Vow to uphold your honor and give you both my affection and trust. As Dominant I grant the Gladius Empress rank's title to Raylene Mitsurugi, Vanessa Mitsurugi, and Jade Mitsurugi to be my empress until death does us part or our trust be broken.
"I demand your love and devotion to remain by my side from today on until the end of all my tomorrows. Through fire that burns, water that calms, and wind that blows. Never shall you stray, never shall you go."
The three wives all cried tears of joy at Hiro's claim. It sounded like a tyrant demanding a dowry. Yet they knew the heart of the one they love. Hearing their new surnames they lovingly continued the ceremony.

Hiro who saw the Enslaved offerings shouted in anger. "WHAT? NO!"
But then the man saw the unwavering will of his empresses. If originally they were timid, they now stood as their ranks namesakes with eyes showing will that could break even the strongest steel.
Their nobility, grace, and honor. It made their beauty ethereal. Hiro could not even get himself to reject them.
