Village Head's Debauchery

Chapter 980 Hierarchy Of The House

This bond would deepen their commitment to him, increase their desire for him, and prevent cheating, among other benefits for both parties. However, he vehemently disagreed with such a proposal.

While he trusted himself and his abilities, he understood the treacherous nature of the world outside. His capability to win a woman’s heart would be stretched to its limits unless he attempted to bind it with such a technique. But, genuine love couldn’t be forced; he sought happiness, comfort, and peace in knowing his family stayed with him willingly.

He knew that Aerialia hadn’t always been the strongest god during her time, with other gods possessing far greater capabilities. Knowing there could be entities capable of manipulating her divine techniques, especially with Paradise soon entering the world, he felt the need for a more primal approach.

Initially, he requested a subtle divine technique—a soul and mental protection technique—to alert him of betrayal.

However, upon hearing about Aerialia’s vast repertoire of techniques and arts, his wives discovered another oath-based technique called the “Eternal Heart Covenant.” This oath, sworn in the name of the Divine Mysteries, vowed their fidelity to him. It promised divine retribution in the form of illness or disaster should they ever betray him, offering mutual benefits beyond the previous technique.

To his surprise, they found greater comfort in knowing that a hefty price awaited them if they took such actions. Orion agreed to allow them to learn the technique, aligning with his belief that they should do so out of their own will and choice, solely for him. Consequently, the technique became required for anyone joining the main family. This made him highly selective when considering another partner, as he didn’t want to disappoint his wives and the effort they were willing to invest in their relationships. Orion wasn’t willing to take it for granted.

As for their children, he had something else planned.

However, after he delivered this information to Caretaker Shani and Queen Selene and explained the new hierarchy of the household to them, they were both extremely pleased. For Queen Selene, it meant her daughter’s position was now secure within the household, and she could openly express her feelings, knowing she had earned her place and was ready to take the oath at any time. As for Shani, she was content with her role as a Mistress and saw taking the oath as an opportunity to formally introduce herself to the family, something she had been eagerly awaiting. They even praised his main wives, acknowledging that this new structure suited his status and authority.

Both women began preparing to meet his main wives and assume their positions as mistresses. This reassured Orion that his choices of partners were sound, alleviating any concerns he might have had about disappointing his wives.

Orion didn’t divulge all of this to Patriarch Rylan, instead offering a brief explanation of his family’s current structure. As he finished, he observed Patriarch Rylan exhale heavily.

“I understand. I knew this day would come eventually. The higher one climbs, the greater the effort required to approach them. Perhaps I should have approached you sooner. Nonetheless, I believe Isadora will find reassurance in this, knowing she has earned the right to stand by your side,” Patriarch Rylan replied, sighing. “You see, during the incident of the Four-eared genocide, our personal abode, the Royal Warren within the Four-eared Lone Rabbit Runaway City, was also affected. Isadora had shown mercy to a young fox girl, unaware it was an enemy in disguise. Thus, tragedy struck when I was ready to evacuate everyone to safety. Her cousins, even her mother—my wife—were murdered. Only Isadora and Flintor escaped, aided by a few of my capable gods chosens.”

“It broke my heart, and they are all I have left. I’ve tried not to dwell on that day but see its effects in her actions. She took it upon herself to rebuild the Four-eared elves and secure their place in Paradise, despite suppressing her hatred for Seig and the Sleeping Fox Runaway City to advance Paradise’s interests.”

“It frustrates me that I can’t do more to help her. Perhaps finding love and recognition from the person she admires most, who made all this possible through her dedication, will finally restore her spirit,” Patriarch Rylan concluded, gazing at Orion with reverence and satisfaction, bowing to him. “Thank you for this opportunity, Village Chief. I will explain this to Isadora so she understands the challenges awaiting her if she wishes to be your wife.”

“Alright, but remember to drop the matter if she decides against it,” Orion responded.

“Of course,” Patriarch Rylan nodded affirmatively.

“I’ll be taking my leave now. Take care of yourself, Patriarch Rylan,” Orion replied, nodding. He glanced discreetly at three figures lurking within the mansion before turning around and exiting the compound.

He had planned to use his gift and immediately return to his manor. However, Patriarch Rylan’s words lingered in his mind, prompting him to take a leisurely stroll around the Second Border City before heading home.

He knew the genocide of the Four-eared elves must have been a horrific experience for them, but he hadn’t expected it to conceal such a secret regarding Isadora. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

After pondering the matter for a few minutes and leisurely strolling around the Second Border City, Orion immediately activated his gift, dispersing countless streaks of lightning that vanished into the sky.

Orion’s Manor

After ensuring no one would disturb him, Orion entered his private room and summoned the Crimson Greatsword alongside Aerialia.

“You’re late,” Aerialia said, her arms folded as she floated in the air, narrowing her gaze at Orion.

“I’m sorry. Something unexpected came up, so I needed to clear my head before we began,” Orion responded.

Aerialia furrowed her brows before asking, “It doesn’t have anything to do with a woman, does it?”

Orion cleared his throat and replied, “No, it doesn’t.”

“We’ve just finished developing the household rules and hierarchy, and now you’re off on some discovery quest to search for candidates,” Aerialia snorted. Having spent much time with Orion, she could immediately discern what was on his mind.
