Chapter 259  Arrangements

Two days after my night with Courtney, it was time for me to deal with Constance. Constance was now awake but was still not talking.

Over the day, I had thought about what to do about her. There was still an idea, but I thought it would be risky.

"Constance, do you want your memories wiped? If you can't handle it, I can make you forget about me." Those were the only words I could offer.

If my presence were harming her, then it would be better for me to remove myself from her life. Even if I had powers that could do a lot, I wasn't omnipotent.

Constance froze at the words I had said. This choice would be tough for anyone. What I gave her was the easy way out.

She can live her own life without having to face the burden. Or stay with the feelings she currently has.

The current Constance couldn't handle this. It was like she was given a trial by God herself. How ironic that she serves those so-called gods!

"I will give you a week to decide. I know this is hard, but this is all I could do for you."

I know this was harsh to say to my lover, but I also wanted to see her improve. Even if I knew it would cause me harm.

"Wait." Before I left, Constance stopped me.

"I have made my choice."

"Everyone. Reina and I are getting married. Does anyone want to join?" My words caused a different reaction from everyone.

Judging by Nene's, Claire's, and Rose's expressions, they were inclined to join, for she was bewildered. She looked like she was daydreaming when I said those words.

Then, looking at Reina, I could see that she was dissatisfied. I could see why, but I said something instead.

"Don't be angry. We can do this ceremony separately." Luckily, those words cooled Reina down. I just felt that having five separate occasions for this would be overkill.

"Master~! When are we doing this~?" Nene was the first to ask these questions.

"Whenever you want." The time limit was only a year. I know this moment was supposed to be special, but I would want to get over it.

"Master~!/Charles~!" Both Nene and Claire spoke my name simultaneously.

"We want to do it now~!" Nene's and Claire's outlooks on marriage were similar.

Who would have thought a beast and a flower would have the same preference? Despite being totally different species, the two could come off as similar.

"Wait!" Reina didn't stand for this.

"I had asked Charles for this for a long time. Shouldn't I get the honor of becoming his first?" Reina spoke passionately.

I could see why she said this. She was pushing for this the most. The others didn't say a word, knowing how passionate she was.

she have to anger Reina?

"Stupid Whitey~! You can join us~!" I knew Nene was joking, but did she have to anger Reina?

The two fought for half an hour before we decided on something. Reina would go first in three days. Next would be Nene and Claire. They didn't care about some ceremony and wanted to get it over with.

"Master, I also want my separate marriage..."

Watching Rose get so flustered made my heart beat faster. I wanted to hug her for the display of nervousness that she was feeling.

"Charles, if you don't mind, I would also like one for myself." I smiled widely, seeing Courtney's similarly flustered appearance.

"How long do you girls want before we have this ceremony?"

The two thought of when to have their wedding and, moments later, decided when.

"By the end of the week." Courtney wanted hers by the end of the week.

"At least two weeks." And Rose had wanted it to take longer to prepare.

"Then it's settled."

Now that the girls here had decided when to hold his celebratory arrangement, I had to ensure everything went smoothly.

Looking back to where I started, who would have thought I would be married to five women within weeks? The old me would have laughed at it as a joke and disregarded it.

Thinking about this, I could say that I had grown. It hasn't been a year yet, and many things have happened. Shaking these thoughts, I searched for wedding rings for the brides.

[Constance's POV]

"..."

Where am I? Who am I? Waking up, I found myself in an unfamiliar house. Looking around, I found a note on a desk near the bed.

"Hello to my future self."

Future self? Was this note from my past? I didn't know how to feel about this. I continued to read the note, finding any relevant information I needed.

"You may be wondering why I wrote this note and why I had lost my memories. I had decided to forget about them due to the pain they had caused. I won't go into more details, but reading this, you will find yourself in your house."

"To the future me that is reading this. If you want to regain your memories, I don't blame you. Most people with amnesia would want to find out what their past was. Even so, I have to warn you. Regaining those memories will cause greater pain than the past."

"..."

"In this house, there is everything you need. Whether you want to leave this house and explore is up to you. I don't know what the future me will do. But please find something you will enjoy."

Reading this note, I had many unanswered questions. I found it unsettling knowing that my lost memories would cause me pain. Should I regain them or stick with what I have?

"Goodbye, past me."

After I finished reading the notes, I looked around the house. The note said there was everything one would need. I could find food, drinks, and even entertainment around the house.

Even so, why do I feel so empty? This empty feeling of mine needs to be fixed.
