Chapter 689 - Lucy's Thoughts

"That’s right sister.

You have to break off the engagement and strategically aid one of us in securing the crown"

Listening to her family’s words, Lucy showed a struggling expression on her face.

Over the years, Baymard had influenced her greatly... as more than 80% of people had married just 1 partner.

Even those who were now wealthy, had just 1 partner.

But again, some people chose to marry two wives instead.

Lucy knew of several couples who were truly in peace in their marriages even after marrying 2 or 3 wives.

The women all worked hard to benefit their households in one way or another.

And at times, if one wife experienced any issues, all of them would join hands to help her out.

And these women all fell hopelessly in love with their husbands

Additionally, one has to know that there were many types of men and women in this world.

.

Some men were born to be polygamous.

And if one tried to force them to be in a monogamous family, then they would just continue cheating outside.

In Baymard, many men were open with their wives about their true natures.

And surprisingly enough, over 80% of men were monogamists because they had monogamist parents, grandparents and whatnot.

Of course the same could be said for the other percentage of people too.

In this era, polygamy was and would never be seen as wrong.

There were many people who just didn’t know how to be in any other relationship apart from a polygamous one.

And Landon had no thought of changing that, as everyone had the right to decide on their own future paths.

Some people also enjoyed having another companion in their marriages... especially during bed play.

.

Additionally, the older they became... the more the friendship between wives grew immensely, and many of them were no longer afraid of being alone when they had grey hair.

From several Baymardian books and even their life experiences, men died way early compared to women in this era.

So there were many widows around who had to raise their children all alone.

With that said, many found it comforting to have their co-wife by their side living with them in one space while ageing.

Both women could comfort each other and grow stronger after the hurdle as real sisters.

The fear of being alone and being a burden on one’s family would always weigh on several people’s minds.

But if they had long time Companions who they could trust by them, it was still a plus.

Again, because of Baymard’s structure, upbringing, and the fact that almost all of them had come from poor homes, as slaves or peasants... they didn’t have the scheming or power-hungry attitude that other nobles within the Pyno continent had.

One should know that before they had money, all they cared about was finding food to eat daily.

And now that they had gotten money in a place that moulded their morals, it was pretty hard for them to do many things that other nobles did.

Of course, there were always some who still turned bad, as no society was perfect.

But there were laws that protected every wife, which gave fatal judgment to those who were caught trying to stir up trouble in many marital false accusations.

Bottom line, it was actually recommended by law that partners state what sort of relationship they were willing to get into before they did.

So if one believed in marrying into a polygamous or monogamous family... then had to state their opinions before cultivating their feelings.

In this way, many people wouldn’t be deceived or forced into something that they weren’t too sure of.

And sure enough, this seemed to do the trick in Baymard, as so far... no one had come for a divorce yet.

Many people seemed to be happy with their choices.

But the real problem here was whether she was willing to share her man with these sc.u.m women or not.

.

Lucy looked at everyone coldly as they mentioned the matter of marriage over and over again.

And as she silently listened, no one knew about the can of worms that they had just opened.
