Prologue
"Fumu..."
Diablo was quietly sighing on his bed.
After the battle with the Great Demon Lord Modinalaam, peace finally returned to Faltra City. Diablo, the one who saved it, however, was in a predicament. After defeating Modinalaam, Diablo felt a surge of power inside him, just like when Krem gave him magic power by accident. But this time it was on whole new level, he really felt his powers overflowing to the point that he could damage his surroundings by accident if he was not careful in keeping it in check. This factor added with his recent engagement(?) with Rem made him remember something that he thought he wouldn't need to think about. When Cross Reverie was just a game, a new feature was about to be added, a marriage system. You could share your power and itens with your partner and call for help, teleporting your partner regardless of the distance, though only once per day. Not only that, you could also form multiple bonds, according to the rumors. There were different bonuses depending on which one you choose, forming one strong bond(monogamy) or forming multiple bonds(polygamy). Since having more than one partner meant that you would split your power even more, it was only recommended for strong players, such as Diablo. But that was not the issue.
There was a talk about making this a 'must have' feature for players that reached level 150. Since it wasn't updated until Diablo came to this world, he had no idea if it would affect or even work on this world. And even if it worked, maybe the effects would be different from what was originally planned in the game. But when he stopped to think about the power Rose and Lamnites possessed though, abilities that were removed from the game but existed on this world... It was most likely usable in this world too, meaning he needed this 'must have' feature to control his power, he could also make his allies stronger while he was at it..
But most importantly, he would have to marry multiple girls given his situation. He was already married to Shera and, due to certain events, to Rem as well. Even so, he still needed to make it 'official' with the ritual from the game, otherwise the 'bonuses' won't take effect. Diablo knew that he couldn't stop at just two wives. He needed to share his magic with more people, otherwise it would still be risky for him to even use his magic, even he if he used the weakest ones he could still cause a lot of collateral damage. Diablo understood by experience, even if this world was similar to the game, there some magics and techniques that worked in a different way. Diablo speculated that this 'marriage ritual' would not work on people he was not at least a little familiar with and that didn't like him a little at least. He sometimes felt some kind of connection between him and the others, one that he couldn't feel with strangers, enemies and mere acquaintances, something that he could feel towards 'allies'. He believes that must be what the marriage bond is like. Fortunately, he already had an idea on who to 'propose' for, the problem being their positions, standings and the number of candidates. Unfortunately, in this kingdom there was no polygamy. Even if he was not planning to do some big celebration or spread the news around, it was still hard to convince them to accept this kind of relationship.
"...Well, I guess I will just use my authority as the Elven King in the worst case. Even if it feels ridiculous to use my authority for something like this..."
Reinforcing his will, Diablo stood up and moved forward onto the troubles he was bound to get himself into.
