Chapter 550: Marry the Holy Princess, and Get Two More for Free?

To be honest, the Holy King’s daughter is truly beautiful; her face, hailed as a national treasure by the Holy Kingdom, surpasses even Lana or Lachesis.

In this world, the only women Shengzai has seen who rival her beauty are the Elf Queen Emirena and the so-called disgrace of succubi, Yarbed.

But no matter how beautiful she is, Shengzai is a man who intends to open a harem in this other world.

Compared to Lachesis, his childhood friend whom he treats more like a sister, he has absolutely no emotional foundation with the Holy King’s daughter, right?

If it were merely a sexual relationship, Shengzai wouldn’t mind—but one’s a prince and the other’s a queen; is that even possible?

Moreover, if he becomes a son-in-law to the queen and still wants to open a harem afterward, he’s clearly dreaming.

If he marries Lachesis, as a prince, he could still take several concubines—after all, in a medieval Western-style kingdom, that’s how things work, and Lachesis couldn’t object.

But marrying into the Holy Kingdom is different; Karja is the Holy King’s daughter, while Shengzai himself is more like the “Holy Queen Consort.”

You’re a “queen consort” and still want to open a harem? Is that reasonable?

In short: the Holy King’s daughter is beautiful, but if you think Shengzai will give up an entire forest for her, sorry—that’s absolutely impossible.

“Lachesis Elbein Dru Aindora, captain of the Kingdom’s Steel-Rank Adventurer team, ‘Azure Rose.’”

“She’s not only your betrothed, but also your childhood friend, correct?”

Before listing Shengzai as a betrothal candidate, the Holy King’s daughter had naturally investigated his background.

To her surprise, Shengzai wasn’t just physically excellent—he was also outstanding in strength, strategy, and talent.

Even more remarkable was that despite his superior background and condition, and despite the countless noble girls who admired him, this prince had always remained pure and untainted.

Nobility is corrupt and decadent; though she stood at the pinnacle of power in the Holy Kingdom, the Holy King’s daughter had to admit this was true in every nation.

Even her trusted elder brother reportedly needed at least two female companions every night.

Yet despite this corrupt noble culture, not a single scandal had ever been linked to the prince before her.

He was handsome, yet also powerful; talented, yet also impeccable in character.

The kingdom even had rumors that Shengzai rejected all the noble girls who offered themselves to him because he deeply loved his betrothed, Lachesis.

Of course, there were also negative rumors claiming it was because the prince was impotent…

Naturally, the Holy King’s daughter didn’t believe the latter rumor.

After all, she herself had been a victim of gossip, and after witnessing Shengzai’s power to transform the subhuman races, she didn’t believe someone with such divine strength could have such a flaw.

Therefore, in the Holy King’s daughter’s eyes, Shengzai’s purity stemmed entirely from his noble character and unwavering loyalty to his betrothed.

He rejected other noble girls’ advances solely because he loved his betrothed.

To the Holy King’s daughter, this wasn’t a drawback—it was a plus.

But if Shengzai knew what the Holy King’s daughter was thinking, he’d be utterly bewildered.

He was pure? No, no, no—he’d lived in the kingdom for years and had never once encountered a noble girl who tried to climb into his bed.

Lana: (*｀へ*) My foolish onii-san, that’s because every time a noble girl even thought of such a thing, your capable little sister crushed it in the cradle!

Do you know who spread the rumor that the prince is impotent?

Those common, vulgar women dared to lay hands on her elder brother? How utterly presumptuous!

“If Miss Lachesis is your betrothed, and if Prince Shengzai agrees to this alliance, I can allow her to become your concubine.”

“But in return, I ask that Prince Shengzai agree to one condition.”

The Holy King’s daughter believed Shengzai and Lachesis were true lovers, and she had no intention of breaking them apart.

But she was the Holy King’s daughter, while Lachesis was merely a noble of the kingdom—even if they truly married, the primary wife must be her.

Shengzai hadn’t expected the Holy King’s daughter would make such a huge concession just to secure the alliance.

Though he had no strong feelings for this beautiful woman, he was curious: what condition was she demanding in return for such a concession?

“If Prince Shengzai enters into this alliance with me, I can allow Miss Lachesis to become your concubine.”

“Moreover, due to your exceptional abilities, I will let you co-rule the entire Holy Kingdom with me, and our future child will inherit the throne.”

“But in return, I ask that you also take Remetios and Kuirat as concubines.”

“I know this is difficult for a prince as devoted to love as you, but I once promised Remetios and Kuirat that we would be together forever…”

Upon hearing the Holy King’s daughter’s additional condition, Shengzai was genuinely stunned.

There’s actually such a thing as a free bonus?

Buy one, get two free: marry a Holy King’s daughter and get a Holy Knight and the High Priestess thrown in?

And setting aside their personalities, Remetios and Kuirat were also rare beauties of this other world!

Honestly, if the Holy King’s daughter hadn’t proposed this condition, Shengzai would have rejected her without hesitation.

But now that this condition was on the table, he admitted he was hesitating.

Lachesis was an adventurer, Karja was the Holy King’s daughter, Remetios was the Holy Knight, and Kuirat was the High Priestess.

And all four of them were once-in-a-million beauties—this was practically the exact harem setup of a typical harem protagonist.

“Your Majesty, the Holy King’s daughter, your additional condition is frankly absurd.”

“And have you even asked Remetios and Kuirat what they think?”

The real question was: what if they refused?

“Regarding that, Prince Shengzai need not worry—I’ve already asked Remetios and Kuirat their opinions.”

“They said as long as they can stay with us, they have no objections, and they’re quite satisfied with Prince Shengzai.”

“After all, Prince Shengzai is flawless in every way, and you’ve helped our Holy Kingdom resolve problems that plagued us for years.”

Holy King’s daughter, you’re even more twisted than the harem Shengzai!
