Holy crap, so that's how it's played.
Faust nodded and quickly chimed in: "Sisters, I understand too."
Isn't it just an edging challenge? I can do that too!
The black-haired girl revealed a breathtakingly beautiful smile and spoke bluntly:
"The hell you do! When have you ever deprived yourself? Do I have to say it out loud? You're recruiting these wolf-kin into your royal guard for more than just their looks."
There was no helping it. They were animal-eared girls, after all. You know? Not including animal-eared girls in a fantasy world is like wasting one's life.
Faust didn't explain, only arguing: "But I really do understand. Alkin can testify. I've been with her almost the entire time lately and haven't lost my virginity!"
The prince had indeed been quite well-behaved over the past few months.
Aside from nearly being kidnapped by the wolf-kin to serve as a breeding stud, he hadn't faced any risk of losing his innocence.
He was practically a paragon of virtue.
Although in the words of Selena and the others, Faust was like a humanoid walking pile-driver with a built-in hypnosis app, more ridiculous than a nukige protagonist.
But to be fair, that wasn't quite the case.
The prince knew how to prioritize.
When doing serious work, he could strictly control himself.
Even if the 【Great Thunder】 hijacked his Supreme Bone to cause trouble, Faust would suppress it with a firm hand.
Selena was shocked by Faust's sense of humor and couldn't help but laugh: "Where is this virginity? Does it automatically refresh every night?"
"What if I still am one?"
Faust sighed, clutching his chest shamelessly:
"Actually, I'm quite dense when it comes to relationships. I have no idea how to make people like me."
"Is that so? How blank of you."
Selena locked eyes with the prince for a moment, huffed, and then... pulled a stack of multi-folded stationery from her bosom.
She flipped through a couple of pages and read with great emotion:
"If my love were a poem, you would be its rhyme. When the jealous night scatters the stars like coins, the morning dew in your eyes sets the whole sky ablaze."
"Ah, believe not in inconstant Time, that vulture-like thief. It steals the rose's hue but cannot take your afterglow..."
Wait, why do you still have that?! Are you planning to keep it as a family heirloom?
Faust's toes were practically curling into the floor.
Every time he bickered with Selena and she started losing, she would pull this thing out and read a section as a finishing blow.
It was one thing normally; Viviana had watched him write it, so she wouldn't judge or look at him with disdain.
But there weren't just the three of them now.
The white-haired wolf-girl leaned back comfortably in her chair, appearing slightly tipsy.
She raised her glass to the prince:
"Faust, so you've written such romantic poetry. Why didn't you ever mention it to me?"
Seeing Faust fall silent, Viviana, as his number one fan, felt she had to save the prince's dignity:
"His Highness has too many outstanding qualities to list. In fact, he doesn't even know how to write poetry. It's just that the paper was so moved by His Highness's deep affection that the words appeared on their own."
Viviana, are you insulting me or praising me? You sound like a troll!
"Hahaha..."
Alkin stretched again and laughed:
"Ah, how envious. Faust and I don't have such tokens of affection yet. After all, I'm still in the pursuit phase."
She stared straight at Faust with her lake-blue eyes and said:
"Next time, let me compose an opera for you to express my feelings. Likewise, I hope you can write a love poem for me."
Hmm?
Snow White's brows furrowed slightly as she tapped her fingernail against the glass cover of the white candle.
The proposal letter written by the prince was Selena's unique treasure.
Such long-winded, love-filled content made the princess roll around in her bed every time she read it.
But if such a letter wasn't exclusive to her... that would be terrible.
It felt like something precious was being snatched away.
But Selena didn't want to say it directly.
She didn't want to be labeled a jealous woman.
Among all vices, jealousy was considered one of the ugliest.
So the black-haired beauty simply pursed her lips and stared at Faust in silence, waiting to see how the prince would react.
Faust keenly sensed the sudden drop in temperature.
The previously relaxed atmosphere had turned subtle.
And here I was thinking of a harmonious harem.
It seems there's no such luck.
Even if they didn't say it, the hidden battles of a romantic battlefield still existed.
Even a carefree and elegant wolf-girl like Alkin would try to mark her territory on the prince.
This was even a subconscious act on her part, rather than a calculated move.
The wolf-girl didn't have that kind of cunning.
The prince quickly spoke up:
"Ahem, girls, there's no rush. Next, we'll head back to Qingxi first. Then, everyone will have their own independent date time. We can create plenty of shared memories."
As expected, Selena's attention shifted: "Hmm? You don't plan to continue your adventuring and training?"
"Not for now. It's time to settle down for a bit."
For Faust, ordinary adventures could no longer move him.
Only the 【witches' feast】 or destiny scripts slightly weaker than it were worth participating in.
Otherwise, how could he make up for the wastage taken by Mephistopheles?
But the 【witches' feast】 wasn't something you could find anywhere.
In fact, the fact that Faust had encountered several in a row could be attributed to his special constitution.
So Faust said frankly:
"Besides, after the battle with the Moon Deity's incarnation, we should all have accumulated enough experience in our path ranks to advance, right?"
Viviana nodded: "That's right. I'm just one step away from becoming a 【hero】. The formal advancement should happen very soon."
After joining forces to slay the Moon Deity's incarnation, Faust and the girls had gained a new mystery trait.
【Godslayer】
【Despise authority, sneer at miracles; if not a beast, then a sage.】
【You have launched an attack against a divine being and succeeded. Regardless of the outcome, such an act of rebellion and courage has been etched into the world.】
【Blessings from divine beings will have their benefits halved for you. Similarly, curses imposed by divine beings will also have their effects halved.】
To be honest, although it sounded impressive, this mystery trait was essentially a debuff.
It was a massive loss.
Because this was no longer the Age of Gods.
Very few people in the world were actually punished by gods; most of the time, people were receiving blessings.
Having no connection with divine beings meant actively refusing blessings from fairies! That was a huge blow.
Fortunately, the noble 【witch】 didn't need fairy blessings; she could be beautiful all on her own through her talent.
As for Faust... he was Mephisto's contractor, so he wasn't restricted.
Mephisto even gloated:
【Isn't this great? Don't expect other fairies to bless you anymore. You're stuck with me for life.】
