Chapter 3605 Questioned
Niera saw everyone welcome Aila.
She held a light smile on her face, also willing to welcome Aila, but was a little bashful on how to go about it as she wasn't a good chatter. If it weren't for Sophie sticking up for her in many cases, everyone might misunderstand her intentions in some cases, thinking she was too prideful to talk to them.
She then saw Davis pick up Aurelia and treat her like a princess while she gave the brightest, innocent smile, making Niera's heart melt.
She viewed Sophie's daughter as her own.
However, looking at her cute son Lucian's face, she kissed his forehead, imagining the problems he would face in the future.
These two had unique physiques, one perilous and the other unknown. She could only wish they could get past all ordeals and live happily.
But there were a few matters she had some doubts about.
"Well, Mingzhi. I presume you finally got your soul under control?" She started a conversation with the Head of the Law Enforcement Department.
Mingzhi wryly smiled in response, "As much as I want to keep use of the excuse, yes... there's no unstable emotions in my soul anymore."
"Great. In that case, I have a few questions about the law. For what reason does our sons enjoy such privilege of three wives while our daughters are restricted to one husband?"
"..." T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m
Her question suddenly brewed silence, which prompted her to explain herself.
"Of course, I'm not asking this to spark a controversy as I do think the same way you do but don't you think our daughters will feel restricted, or even less important than our sons."
Niera asked with raised brows, causing Mingzhi to smilingly shake her head.
"Not really. It is our sons who are restricted the most since they are limited to three wives while this big eater has as much as nine times their count and probably even more in the future."
"..."
Mingzhi pointed at Davis and giggled while Davis blinked innocently.
"But since you asked- I'll explain a bit more."
"No need." Niera shook her head as she felt like she understood, her expression relaxing, "I want my son to marry only one woman, but I was afraid that after seeing this kind of law, he would be tempted to take more. Now, I understand our sons will get tempted either way if they see their father having a bevy of beauties surrounding him."
"Hehe~" Mingzhi giggled, "It's inevitable. It's no use blaming him since we're also in cahoots with him. We're not the first wife, after all."
"Right..."
Niera wryly smiled.
Aila bowed her head, but Mingzhi smirked.
"Who said you aren't? You are now a member of the Harem Council and the Unity Forum, so you can say whatever you want."
"Harem Council... Unity Forum...?"
Aila blinked.
She then heard what these two bodies comprised, turning shocked.
She could apparently influence the decisions of this family.
Wasn't this too much power for a newcomer like her?
'Wait a minute... No harem possesses such power...'
She couldn't help but look at Davis, wondering if he was stupid or intentionally doing this to make them feel heard. However, the more she heard, the more she came to understand that there was real power involved.
She was voted into this circle the same way!
She didn't know if she should feel grateful or sad that she was recommended because Davis didn't come to her because of her determination but by their recommendation. However, if didn't need her, would he have even come?
Then again, if her determination didn't move the harem, would they have even noticed her?
Would she have been allotted this important position?
All these questions made her realize this family was extremely united. If they didn't make space for her, then it would've been near impossible to enter, finally making her feel even more grateful.
"Still, aren't our daughters at a disadvantage if they are going to watch their husbands marry other women?"
Sophie asked.
Mingzhi smirked but then looked at Davis as though saying he should take over this one.
Davis spread his hand, wondering why, but then shook his head upon Mingzhi's insistence.
"To make you understand all the way, I must bring up something thought-provoking yet diabolical."
Davis's lips curled.
Many beauties titled their heads, wondering what he was going to say, but Davis first gave Aurelia back to Sophie.
"Let's talk about a hypothetical scenario, pick and choose the lesser of two evils. Out of two wicked options in the context of righteousness, when our children grow up into youngsters or adults, would you rather wish you chanced upon a rapist son or a promiscuous daughter?"
"...!?"
His question instantly made many brows raise, and Mingzhi watched as she enjoyed their reactions. She was glad she passed the baton to Davis.
