Chapter 261: The Three Goddesses of the Bathhouse
Inside the Rosemary Marquis Family’s grand bathhouse—spacious enough to resemble a public bath—three beautiful girls bathed in elegance.
In the steamy room were Viola and Primula Rosemary, daughters of the house, and Yuri Catreya, the blood-soaked guest who had arrived in dramatic fashion.
The three were naked, soaking in the bath.
“Now then… would you mind telling us your story?”
Viola took the lead, her sharp eyes narrowing as she turned to Yuri, ready to dig deeper into the situation.
“Um… I’m sorry. I was wrong,”
Yuri apologized meekly, visibly shrinking like a scolded puppy in front of her uncharacteristically intense friend.
Only now did she seem to realize just how inconsiderate her actions had been.
“Sorry… I was so excited after defeating my father. I should’ve spoken to you two first before proposing to him. I really am sorry. It seems I’ve fallen in love with Rest.”
Upon reflection… it had been lacking in sincerity.
She had confessed her love to Rest, who was engaged to her friends, Viola and Primula.
“But… Rest is the only one for me. I don’t mind being a concubine instead of a wife. Please, just let me stay by his side.”
“That’s not really a problem.”
“We’re fine with it.”
The Rosemarie sisters said, gently shaking their heads at Yuri, who was hunched in the bath, clearly feeling awkward.
“We already knew you liked Rest. It was that obvious, after all.”
“You were clearly treating him differently from other guys… it would’ve been strange not to be in love with him.”
The two looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
They had known of Yuri’s feelings for Rest.
They had also accepted that Rest would likely marry multiple women.
What mattered now was what would happen next.
“We don’t mind. Celestine is already pretty much confirmed as one of Rest’s wives, so if you join too—”
“Celestine’s marrying Rest too? That’ll make things lively!”
“Okay, quiet down for a second.”
“…Sorry.”
Viola’s reprimand made Yuri shrink again, prompting her to settle down.
Viola continued speaking gently.
“But the question is, are you really okay with that, Yuri? If you marry Rest, you’ll be considered a secondary wife, you know?”
Rest was not only head of the Clover Count family, but also set to inherit the Rosemarie Marquis territory, a decision approved by the king himself.
Naturally, his primary wife would be one of the Rosemarie sisters—likely Viola.
Yuri, who would marry later, would be seen as a concubine. For a marquis’ daughter, being treated like a side attachment was unheard of.
“Lady Celestine has accepted being a concubine… but only because she had no better options.”
Primula added.
As royalty, Celestine had no truly compatible partner. Marrying Rest, the hero who defeated the monster Sabnock, was already a stretch. Without the royal family’s push, even that match would’ve been impossible.
But Yuri was different—she could easily find a suitable match.
There was no need to force herself into a lesser role.
“If you marry Rest, you’ll be below me, below Primula, and even below Celestine, who’s marrying under the king’s orders. You’d be considered the fourth or lower. Are you really okay with that…?”
“Ah, I don’t care about that. It doesn’t bother me.”
“…It doesn’t?”
“Order of rank means nothing to me.”
Yuri replied cheerfully, as if brushing off a trivial concern.
“What matters is being with the one I love, right? As long as I can be with Rest, I don’t care what number I am. And if I get to be with you two and Celestine as well, all the better. That’s exactly what I wanted!”
“U-uh…”
“H-huh…”

“I’m just relieved I wasn’t scolded for confessing to Rest without telling you first. I’m so glad we’re not cutting ties over this!”
It clearly wasn’t a simple matter, but Yuri was already stretching out in the bath, as if the serious talk had ended.
“That means I’m engaged to Rest now, too! Oh, right—how about we all take a bath together next time? Let’s invite Celestine and make it five!”
“Y-yeah… sure…”
“…Sounds good…”
“Ah, this feels amazing. A bath after sweating and bleeding is the best!”
“……”
The Rosemary sisters sighed in unison at Yuri’s carefree demeanor.
They had only been worried for her… but it seemed their concern was completely unnecessary.
Yuri Catreya would marry Rest. One day, they would all become family.
“Well, I suppose it’s fine.”
“Yes, it’ll be fine…”
“Oh, right!”
Just as the sisters were starting to accept the situation, Yuri suddenly raised her voice as if remembering something.
“Come to think of it… the daughter of the Lavender Frontier Margrave seems to like Rest too. I didn’t hear it from her directly, but I think so.”

“Details. Now.”
“Tell us everything!”
“Wah!”
Yuri had just dropped a bombshell.
The sisters rushed her for more information, and the three of them ended up spending far too long in the bath, getting completely lightheaded in the process.
