Chapter 217 Lap Pillow
This would be the day for us to reunite with Sister after many months. She had finished her first year at the academy and was going on a vacation with us until the next spring.
I would be going with her to the academy for me to start my academic years, which meant that I would be spending more time with her at the academy.
However, all of those were still mere pipe dreams if Sister still hated me and would not forgive me. Well, anyway, I had been doing everything I could to satisfy her.
I was not entirely sure if my efforts would be enough, but all the details had been well laid out and prepared. And before our meeting, me and my family had been doing something else while waiting for the time to come.
"You seem to be in deep thought, Raphael."
"Well, yes, I am both excited and nervous to meet Sister once again. So I am a little bit anxious about our reunion, you see."
"Is that so?"
As she was giving me a lap pillow, Sophia noticed my grave expression and looked down to call me out. Sophia and I were on the couch. She sat while I rested my head on her soft laps, feeling the plumpness of her thicc thighs.
In the morning, inside our manor in the capital, we were in our living area to kill time. We would be meeting Sister this afternoon, so we still had time to prepare and rest.
Not only my family, but Sophia wanted to see my sister as well. For that reason, she came over to our residence and joined us. While waiting, I seized the moment to spend time with her. Since Sophia was not officially legal yet, a lap pillow was the best fan service she could offer.
Sophia and I were not the only people in the living area, of course. Adjacent to our couch, across the coffee table, there was a couch of the same size where three gorgeous women sat: my Mom, my Mother, and Gabrielle.
I turned my body sideways and kept my eyes on them. From what I could see, both Mother and Gabrielle were having a lap pillow on Mom's plump thighs. I wanted to plunge my face into those pillows too, but I already had Sophia, so I did not see a problem to complain about.
"You really love them, don't you?"
"I indeed love them, and I am so grateful for having them in my life." I replied to Sophia before lying down on the couch and looking up at her. "But I am more grateful that you understand my feelings and accept them. I cannot thank you enough, Sophia."
"Well, I'm kind of shocked and disgusted with you having a forbidden relationship with your own two mothers. But I was gradually convinced by how much you love them, and they felt the same. I felt defeated, but if that was what Raphael wanted, there was nothing I could do to separate people deeply in love, yes?"
"Sophia..."
Sophia caressed my hair as she uttered those words with a smile. I could feel that she was serious and sincere about what she said, so I had no right to doubt her.
"Moreover, I trusted my aunts and had already discussed with them that we would love you together. I also do not mind if you take more, but please do it moderately and don't take them as if you were picking up stray cats, okay?"
"I understand, Sophia." I briefly closed my eyes and let out a deep breath. "If I ever take women in the future, I promise you that I will choose them properly."
"Thank you for fulfilling this selfish wish of mine, Raphael."
"No problem."
It was not that I wanted to expand my harem; it just happened unconsciously. Sophia must have been bothered that I had been adding women without restrictions, so she set some regulations for me.
I did not attempt to reject it since it would help myself and my family. The phrase "the more, the merrier" was not always good. There were many things to consider if someone wanted to build a harem, such as financial stability, time, and the capability to satisfy their desires.
Even if I could give them those things now, I would stop expanding my domain for the sake of everyone and everything. Trust was the most important element in a relationship, and I did not want anyone to mistrust me by thinking that they were not enough for me.
"Hey, Sophia."
"Hmm?"
"I will be attending the academy next spring, and there is a high possibility that I will meet my main spouse there. Can you tell me what your thoughts are?"
"Well, I don't have a problem with that. But the problem is, how are you going to explain that to her?"
Sophia took a glance at the other couch after she asked that, and so I did."
"Yeah, that would be a problem."
What Sophia was trying to imply was how to explain my incestuous relationship with my mothers to that person. Of course, there was no way we could hide that issue from my future wife, and she would eventually discover it even if we did.
With that, a new standard was added to the requirements for my main wife: First, she had to be open-minded and not homophobic. An automatic red flag if she did not respect the sexuality of my parents and sister.
Second, she must accept my harem building and get along with the members. Minor conflicts and misunderstandings could not be avoided, but it would be fine as long as they did not harbor hatred toward one another.
Lastly, that person had to digest and accept my relationship with Mom and Mother, and probably with my sister. I would not cut ties with my family just for her to accept me; my family matters the most.
With those requirements, finding the right person to be my primary wife would be difficult. There were not that many young noblewomen out there, so the difficulty escalated quickly.
"Anyways, we don't have to mind that right now. What's more important is what I should do to win over Sister."
"You don't have to do it alone, Raphael; we are here to help you."
"Sophia is right, dear." Said Mother. "We are ready to help you conquer the heart of Louise."
"Same here, my son."
"Thank you, mothers."
Well, I am really grateful to have a family this loving and supportive. But I hoped that our efforts would suffice to persuade Sister.
