“You can’t do that, Touya. The most important thing in a marriage is getting stuff right at the start. If you don’t put your foot down at the very beginning, you’ll have to tiptoe around the relationship later in life.”

C’mon, man... I’m not married yet... Still, Emperor Refreese’s statement probably came from personal experience. I’d heard he was completely powerless against his wife behind closed doors.

I didn’t want to make Emperor Regulus worry too badly. Lu was his daughter, after all. And so, I decided to quickly explain the situation.

“My, that is a surprise. I didn’t expect Nokia to play that kind of hand at all.”

“Yeah, sounds suspicious to me. Especially since they’re usually so isolated.”

“It’s not that strange for countries to try and make connections through marriage, to be fair...”

If I recalled correctly, Princess Thea of Mismede had recently gotten engaged to Prince Redis of Refreese. That would make the beastking and the emperor of Refreese bound through those ties. Beastman discrimination was quickly becoming a thing of the past, especially in more progressive countries like Refreese. I wondered if people were more tolerant there because there was more overall happiness there compared to other countries.

“Is it that big of a deal, Touya? What’s one more wife when you already have nine?”

“It is a big deal, yeah. I don’t really want to get myself wrapped up in a politically-focused marriage.”

“It might not be bad, though. Many people I know only got to know their partners after marriage.”

Really? I can’t really see that working out so well, Beastking... But uh...

different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

“First, I just need to figure out what they’re up to... Ah, that’s pon.”

I picked up a tile.

“Ack, a chinroutou?!”

Welp, that’s my cue. I’ll just take a tile... I quickly discarded one that I didn’t need.

“Tsk tsk, you must always pay attention to the flow of the game... Ron!

Suuankou tanki. Read it and weep.”

“Agh?!”

“No fair, Emperor!”

“Whew, that was close... I might’ve actually lost out more if you hadn’t made that move.”

Damn it... I should’ve focused on reading him better while I was biding my time. Well, whatever. The night’s only just getting started!

I felt a little bit sorry for the knights who were here with their monarchs, but I needed them all here in the game room until morning. I’d cast a

[Prison] around my bedroom in my absence, just in case. Plus, I had plenty Page 92

of witnesses who could place me here.

I got ready for the next game as my thoughts began to wander... The girls are meeting with Pafia tomorrow, huh...? Wonder how it’ll work out.

I started sorting through the mahjong tiles, quietly hoping things would turn out okay.

◇ ◇ ◇

“Oof...”

My body hurt all over when I woke up, probably because I’d slept hunched over the mahjong table in my chair. I quickly cast [Refresh] and

[Recovery].

“So, how’d it go?”

As I walked down the corridor out of the game room, Kougyoku flew over to me and perched on my shoulder.
