Chapter 1032: Amara is jealous of Roxanne sometimes.
Victor's Inner World where The World Trees resided.
"... Roxanne, is everything over?" Amara asked, focusing her Powers on preventing the two brats from seeing inappropriate things.
"Yes," Roxanne nodded.
"Finally," Amara sighed in relief but didn't stop interrupting their Daughters' sight yet.
"Our Husband is a troublemaker, he left Kaguya in a mess," Roxanne said with a small, amused smile.
"Well, he wouldn't be Victor if he didn't," Amara spoke in amusement.
"Right? He's perfect just the way he is," Roxanne agreed with her Sister, a thought suddenly popping into her head, leaving her slightly dazed for a few seconds.
"I know that look, Sister. Tell me what you thought," Amara said.
"Hmm... It was just a passing thought. Forget about it," Roxanne blushed slightly.
"Speak," Amara insisted.
"Ugh... It was just an intrusive thought, Sister. You don't need to know," Roxanne grumbled.
"Now you've made me even more curious, tell me!" Amara exclaimed.
"Fine..." Roxanne sighed, looking at her Sister. "I just wondered, if Victor is so desirable now, I wonder what he would be like in his female version... Would she be worse than Aphrodite?... Or would she be just like her?"
Amara looked at Roxanne with an expressionless gaze that said: How are you related to me?
Roxanne groaned. "It was you who forced me to tell my thoughts! They're called intrusive thoughts for a reason! They serve no purpose!"
Amara huffed. "Do as you please, just don't say those words to Darling, or he'll punish you."
"... That wouldn't be a bad thing either," she displayed a perverted smile as she thought of various things they could do.
Amara rolled her eyes at her perverted Sister.
...
After 'motivating' his beloved Wife, Victor returned to his self-imposed work. It was evident to his two most active tenants that he was deliberately taking more time to finish everything. After all, if he genuinely wanted to finish his work quickly, he could do it in seconds. But even though he wanted to savor the 'work', he still finished faster than usual since it didn't make much sense to understand the whole process too deeply.
After finishing reviewing tasks, managing everything, and leaving everything in order, it was time for him to leave. Victor left command to Lizbet, with Rena as the second in command. The two women were clearly saddened by his departure, but Victor wasn't moved. After all, as Roxanne said, he was the Emperor, and these things had to be done by his subordinates.
He took the moment he was here to learn more deeply about his own organization, but it was time for him to go. He had a date with his beloved Wife, after all.
[Good, Darling is learning, Umu, Umu.] Roxanne nodded several times, satisfied watching her Husband's superficial thought process.
Victor rolled his eyes at his Wife's attitude, and after bidding farewell to Lizbet, who was present, he appeared in the skies of Japan.
[It's Mizuki's meeting now, huh.] Amara recalled.
[Yes.] Victor nodded.
Using the connection they shared, Victor contacted Mizuki: [Mizuki, my love. Where should we meet?]
[Eh...? Darling? What do you mean by us meeting?]
Victor raised an eyebrow: [Eh? Hmm, am I mistaken? Violet said you needed to talk to me.]
[Oh... That's true! It was today! With so much going on, I ended up forgetting! Everything was peaceful, and suddenly, a bunch of work was thrown at us, and everyone in the mansion was working, even the lazy group!] Mizuki exclaimed.
["Hmm, I know you want to prolong Kali's embarrassment a little longer... You're 'cooking' her... What a sadist."] Amara huffed.
Victor smiled. "It's always a pleasure to see a powerful and confident woman become a mess because she can't handle me~. Let me enjoy this a bit more."
["Humph, if you leave her without a partner for too long, someone will steal her from you."]
"That's impossible."
["Oh, why?"] Amara asked curiously.
Victor displayed a twisted smile, his two eyes spinning like two crimson-violet black holes: "From the moment I set my eyes on her... She was mine. No one will change that."
"She's mine. The only difference is 'when' I decide to make her mine. Until then, I'll have fun with her reactions~."
["Fufufufu~, if you say so, I'll trust the biggest playboy who ever walked these lands."]
"Hey, I'm not a playboy. I don't sleep with random women, only with my Wives." He huffed. "I'm a man of integrity and respect."
["I'm sure you are~"] Amara laughed.
...
"Sister, what's the purpose of these useless questions?" Roxanne asked curiously.
"Just curious... Darling sometimes acts like he's clueless. I wondered if that was true."
Roxanne rolled her eyes. "Please, he has Adonis's memories, and he himself conquered several powerful women. That's impossible."
"I know... I just wondered if he got infected by the Japanese MC virus at some point. After all, he's ignoring three beautiful, strong, powerful women with the potential to become a very powerful Yuno."
"Wow, that was a sentence with a lot of references. I guess letting you watch anime was a good idea." Roxanne laughed.
Amara just huffed at Roxanne and crossed her arms, an attitude that made Roxanne laugh even more.
Turning her gaze back to Victor, Roxanne spoke. "One thing you have to understand about Darling is that he was never stupid."
"... Oh?" Amara looked curiously at her sister. Unlike her, Roxanne spent more time with Victor and went through two rebirth processes while she was with him. You could say that Roxanne had an even deeper connection with Victor than Amara, so her opinion was quite valuable.
"Growing up with an illness that incapacitated him from being 'normal,' he became a very observant boy, and that helped a lot in understanding interpersonal relationships... Of course, Anna's substantial influence should be considered as well. As a lawyer dealing with politicians and a very overprotective mother hen, she made sure her son was more attentive to small things."
"So, even before he merged with Adonis, he was already attentive to the possible 'suitors' of his current Wives, and when these women became his, he made sure to eliminate each of these suitors one by one."
"The only ones he didn't eliminate were his Father, for obvious reasons, and his friends. Although he was always keeping an eye on them." Roxanne thought for a moment. "I remember that the only one he trusted immediately was Tatsuya. He realized that the man was married to his sword and was completely focused on becoming stronger. Proof of this assessment was that Hecate had to practically kidnap Tatsuya so that the man could do things with her."
"He is a very dense man." She laughed. "Now that I think about it, this contestant elimination was also done by Violet, Sasha, and Ruby."
"I assume that fusing with Adonis just strengthened something he would eventually learn, huh," Amara spoke.
"Yes, although Adonis's political experience helped him immensely as well, after all, the man had 1500 years of experience in leading a Clan..." Roxanne nodded as she thought back. "I think the moment he started to develop even further was when he realized the peculiarities of his blood storing Souls and memories."
"The Demon War... Yes, it was there that he developed the most, as he absorbed countless Ancient Demons and gained their experiences and memories. At that moment, he became an even bigger monster."
'It was at this time that I began to feel the Awakening of my Husband's Eldritch side... Although that side was only fully Awakened when he became a Dragon and later a God.' Roxanne thought.
Amara sighed. "Sometimes I envy you. Even though we theoretically have the same level of fusion with Darling, you are clearly more connected to him than I am."
Roxanne just smiled at her Sister and didn't comment on anything. After all, she was correct. Victor had gone through two rebirths, and in these two rebirths, Roxanne had always been with him. She knew every corner of the existence known as Victor.
