The next morning, as Lu Li woke up, Clorinde stirred in his arms. After a moment of dazed silence, she remembered what had happened, blushed, and snuggled closer. "Lu Li... you have to be responsible..."

"Of course," he said, pulling her tighter. "You are my woman now, Clorinde."

To have a harem, one must be responsible for one's girls. Otherwise, it's just casual relationships.

He held her for a while, then thought of Chiori and Lynette. His mood grew complicated. He had to tell her everything now, right? With her sharp perception, she would surely find out later, and the situation would be much worse. But to say, "I'll be responsible for you," and then immediately follow it up with, "but I also love other people"... it was such a scummy thing to do.

"By the way, Clorinde..." he began hesitantly. "There's something I need to tell you about... my relationships..."

"Do you mean about you and Chiori?" she asked, much to his surprise.

"Chiori has already told us everything. Not just me, but Chevreuse and Navia as well."

"Then... so, you can accept it, Clorinde..."

"Mm, otherwise I would have refused at the time..." she said softly. "Not refusing means I've already thought it through. But, for you to ask me like this now, it still makes me a little jealous."

"I'm sorry..."

"But, with you fooling around like this, can you handle it yourself?" she asked, a teasing smile on her lips. "You were already having a hard enough time with just me. If Chiori joins in, can you really last?"

Lu Li swallowed hard, then said with determination, "Of course, I can!"

Dealing with Lady Arlecchino and Clorinde one-on-one was indeed difficult. But with Lynette and Chiori, even if they teamed up, they were no match for him. Their combat power was that of a standard woman. Lady Arlecchino and Clorinde were on a whole different level.

Seeing his cute, puffed-up bravado, Clorinde wanted to laugh. But then, she sat up. "Alright, get up. We have to go back to the Court of Fontaine today. We can't waste any more time here!"

"By the way, Clorinde, those times... you weren't worried about safety precautions...?"

"Safety precautions..." she paused, then her face flushed slightly. "What, you said you'd be responsible for me, didn't you? Why are you more worried than I am?"

"No, that's not it. I'm just worried it might affect your work... if, if you want to, I will be responsible for you both!"

"...Pfft, don't worry, it's not that soon," she chuckled, crossing her arms. "My work won't allow me to retire so early. Besides... how can I have a child before we're officially married... As for yesterday... although we didn't take precautions, it was my safe period. So, nothing will happen."

Lu Li was relieved. So it was her safe period... he had thought it was like with Lady Arlecchino, where their difference in life levels made it impossible. If that had been the case with Clorinde, he would have been determined to get stronger as fast as possible. After all, the joy of the flesh was one thing, but the ultimate goal was to continue the family line.
