After the marriage was done, I was brought to another house for rest.

"Please take care, young hero," the priest said before leaving.

Inside was a well-decorated room. Red flowers along with white ones were attached to the walls, and a beautiful chandelier could be seen above.

"So soft."

The bed’s blue fabric felt very soft, as I saw more than five pillows in place.

I laughed excitedly, thinking about tonight with my five princess wives.

"Hehe..."

But from afternoon to night came.

"Where the hell are they?"

I said angrily while drinking my seventh glass of milk that a maid had delivered. while looking toward the window. The sky was already pitch black, but they were not here.

My mood slumped as I fell back onto the bed.

"What do you expect, Luke? Why would anyone want to be with you?"

My vision blurred as tiny drops of moisture started collecting in my eyes, and I remembered things about my previous world.

DING!-

10,000x Return System Activated.

A ding sound suddenly echoed inside my head.

I got startled and then looked around.

"Nothing."

My expression turn to confusion "Is something invisible?"

"Who are you? Where are you?"

I asked intimidatedly toward the voice, though if anyone saw me, they would find my hands trembling and my eyes wary.

[Luke, I am your System.]

The System said with a cheerful voice while calling my name.

"Huh?"

I got confused, then after a moment I understood.

"Seems like transmigration stuff," I muttered.

Then my expression became excited.

"Will this System help me become strong?"

I laughed while saying that, then I thought about the Saintess saying something about hero stuff.

I shook my head and asked the System for its function.

"So, System, what can you do?"

I asked with an excited expression, hoping for something that would make me OP instantly.

[Luke, I am the 10,000x Return System.]

[So I can give you 10,000x returns from your wives.]

The System said normally.

"My wives?" I muttered, confused.

[Well... depending upon the emotions they have toward you, you will get a random return.]

"Oh... okay, I guess."

I said while rubbing my chin.

"Okay, show me status."

[STATUS]

I looked at my simple status, then my gaze turned toward Wives and I clicked on it.

"Well, what can I say?"

I said with a helpless sigh.

After all, they were forced to marry a talentless nobody like me.

But then my expression changed.

Wife #5 — Vampire Princess 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Emotional State: Curious

When I looked at her status.

"She is curious?"

"About me?"

I muttered with a shocked expression, but then shook my head to remove those thoughts.

"No wonder no one came—"

CLICK!

As I was about to complete my words, the gate opened with a small click.

My gaze turned toward the silver door, and there was a woman with pink hair and red eyes, with a beauty unlike anything I had ever seen in my life.

Her face was perfect and pale like snow.

She was wearing a pink nightgown, which did little to hide her assets.

Those huge breasts and her figure were literally telling me to hold her.

"Gulp."

I swallowed after seeing this.

Wait!

Then my gaze reached toward her face again, and there was a smile on her lips, but there were also fangs, like those—

"Vampire!"

The word escaped my mouth before I could stop it.

Then I instantly covered my mouth with both hands, afraid she would become angry.

"Hehe."

Instead, she laughed and slowly walked toward me.

"Darling, did you miss me?"

She asked as she approached me closely and put her hand on my chest.

SHIVER

I got goosebumps when she touched me because she was cold as ice.

She noticed my expression, then her smile became wider and she got close to my ear.

"I am your wife, darling..."

"Are you afraid of me?"

She asked while making a crying face that looked like a puppy face, which almost melted my heart.

"No."

"I again blurted out instinctively."

"Haha."

She started laughing loudly, and my face got red from her teasing.

A moment passed before the question that had been bothering me finally slipped out.

"Don’t you resent me as well?"

Her expression changed slightly, and the laughter faded from her face.

"After all, you are a princess who can get anything."

As I said more and more, she started getting closer to me.

"Why are you here?"

The moment the words left my mouth, silence fell between us.

Maybe it was resentment toward everyone, as they brought me here and told everyone that I was a talentless nobody.

They forced me to marry, and now those wives who should understand that I am their husband are ignoring me.

And now she comes here, after all of that.

Selene Nightveil looked toward the person who was now her husband.

At the start, she also resented him because she was very talented and was now marrying a nobody.

She got treated worse in her household because they thought she killed her mother and had never shown love to her.

She knew she would eventually be thrown to some fat or perverted noble for benefits because even her father hated her.

But when she saw the person who was going to be her husband getting laughed at by everyone for being a talentless nobody—

He was still smiling while looking at us.

At that moment, the loneliness behind that smile became clear.

After all, a lifetime spent alone understands another lifetime spent alone.

That’s why tonight, I came here.

"Because you are my husband."

A genuine smile appeared on my face.

He flinched when he heard this, and his expression became flustered.

"How cute."

I laughed at his behavior and asked with a naughty smile.

"Darling, then should we do what a husband and wife do on their first night?"

"Huh?"

Luke said before he felt his vision go black.
