" Well, it looks like the discussion went well."

Aunt Aria couldn't help but make a comment as she, along with my Mother and Aunt Andrea came walking into the lounge we were all sitting in. So far, it's been mostly silence as Alice seemed to implode after her grand confession. It seems that after having her feelings for John build up more and more caused her to burst for lack of a better word. Now she's simply sitting on one of the chairs in the room and randomly smiling every few minutes. In the complete opposite manner, John was also silent. He looks as if he just received unbelievable news. Which I suppose in a way is what happened. Regardless, now that the truth is out there for Alice, Anna and I have both noticed something else about the room. Taking a quick look around, which is something Alice and John haven't been able to do, you could find the frustrated expressions of the 3 other women who are here with us.

" But... I knew him before her..."

" He's marrying someone else already?"

" ..."

Asha seemed in shock that someone who met John after her was already on her way to marrying him. Granted this is only after the war and on the condition that John does an exemplary job. Which he will, but it's still worth pointing out. Cyn seemed to be in just as much shock as John. I don't why, it's not as if she couldn't see this coming. We all know who has fallen for John. Sharon was shockingly quiet. She seemed to be focusing on her own thoughts. She's repeatedly stated that she doesn't love John, but from the frustration I can see in her eyes and the way she's currently biting her inner bottom lip with her teeth, it's not hard to tell that she's feeling something only someone who's in love with another person would feel. I do feel some sympathy for them all, but at the end of the day, neither I nor Anna could control this decision, this was all My Parents and my Uncle and Aunts doing. When it comes to the decision from Anna and I's perspective, it's not too much of an issue, it's simply speeding up the day Our Alliance finally completes it's goal.

" Wow, it looks like you're all shocked! Psh..."

My Mother walked in and couldn't help feeling amused by the reactions of the other girls... No, she's clearly laughing at John right now. I do wonder what it is about My Husband that makes my Mother want to tease him so badly. After all, teasing him is the privilege of his Wives first and foremost.

" Fufufu... Don't be too mean, Aqua. It looks like his view of the world had shattered. I almost feel bad for him.... Fufufu..."

And it looks as if Aunt Ari also wanted to tease John a bit. 

" Honestly, the both of you. The marriage of a Princess isn't something to be joking about!"

Finally, Aunt Andrea began to make sense of the situation.

" Right... Right... Sorry, An... It's just... His face... Psh..."

" Ari... You're bad habit is showing. What did I tell you about that when we became Al's Wives?"

" That it's not very Queenly... But... Look at him... Psh.... And Alle is in la la land.... It's too good..."

" As I recall, you made a similar face while we waited for Al to finish the ceremony to become King after he won the crown. Are you sure you  should be lobbing those stones while you're in that glass house?"

" Well, you were already planning the wedding with your Mother!"

" As a To Be Queen should. And if I recall correctly, your Honorable Mother was pinching your cheeks trying to bring you back down to Gaia! Then it took you right until Al to walk into the room for you to wipe the smirk you're making right now from your face!"
