A full month had passed since Mark returned to the kingdom.
During those weeks, things had finally begun settling back into calm, and one by one he'd been able to resolve the pending matters he had with his wives.
The celebration of his return, the secrets several of them had kept for so long, and the revelations that had changed a great deal between them.
That month had been, for once, a period of relative peace.
With no major crises or new problems to solve, Mark had finally been able to breathe easy.
Until the day arrived that he and several of his wives had been waiting for.
The day Yuki would return from the beastman kingdom.
In the throne room, the mood was lively.
Three of his wives were waiting with obvious impatience for the assassin's arrival, and the conversation between them hadn't stopped all morning.
"I can't wait for Yuki to get here," Aria said, quite excited. "We have so much to tell her! She missed absolutely everything."
