There was a silence that filled the room as everyone turned to look at Baroness Rose with a strange look.
It was a look that was filled with surprise, doubt, and confusion.
Not a single one of them could understand why she had suddenly asked this, though they did know who she was talking about.
Haley's face immediately turned red when she was asked this question and she lowered her head to hide her embarrassment.
After taking a while to calm down, she looked up and opened her mouth, but there wasn't a single word that came out. The only thing that she could do was just open and close her mouth again and again, not saying a single word in the end.
The silence continued in the room as no one knew what to do in this situation.
But in the end, Haley took a deep breath before saying, "I do."
When I heard this, my face couldn't help turning red.
This was my first time being confessed to like this, so of course it was an awkward feeling for me.
But that didn't mean that I was against it.
The only problem was…I was already married. I knew that I was already pushing it when it came to Cecilia, but now that there was another woman as well…I didn't know what Rose would think, but I knew that it wouldn't be good.
So I just remained silent and carefully watched Baroness Rose's face.
She just had a calm look on it as she looked at Haley who looked like she was about to fall over at any moment.
After a long pause, she finally said, "Alright, then create a branch in this town and move here. That way, you can properly support him with us."
As soon as her voice fell, all of us looked at her with shocked expressions.
We just looked at her like we couldn't understand what she was saying even though she had said it clearly.
Seeing the look on my face, Baroness Rose turned to me and said, "I already told you that I was fine with you having concubines."
I couldn't help shuddering when I heard this, but then she came closer to say, "As long as you keep me as your number one. If you ever dare to abandon me, then you should know that my wrath won't be light."
I once again shuddered when I heard this, but it wasn't out of excitement this time. Instead, there was a chill that ran down my spine the moment that I heard Baroness Rose say this.
With what I knew about her, I knew that she wasn't joking when she said this.
But of course, I would never do something like that.
With how she had treated me, I would rather die than give her up, so I would never abandon her like she said.
So after being in a slight daze, I gave a nod in response to what she said.
Baroness Rose looked at me with a sweet smile.
The two of us just hugged each other for a bit before she turned her head back to Haley who was still sitting there in a daze.
She looked at Baroness Rose like she didn't know if she was being serious or not, but Baroness Rose then asked, "So does that mean that you don't want to?"
When Haley heard this, she jolted back to her senses and said, "I didn't say that!"
She took a moment to sort out her thoughts before asking, "Your ladyship, are you really alright with your husband taking concubines like this? Aren't you the one that holds the title? Wouldn't this hurt your reputation?"
Baroness Rose just said with a sweet smile, "Does that matter? As long as he is happy, it doesn't matter if there's a small stain on my reputation."
I also couldn't help worrying when I heard this, but Baroness Rose looked at me and shook her head before mouthing, "It's fine."
I didn't know what plans she had, but I was sure that she had already prepared for this.
So I just remained quiet and waited to see what happened.
Haley looked at Baroness Rose as if she was trying to figure out if she was telling the truth or not, but Baroness Rose just looked right at Haley without turning away.
After a long silence, Haley finally asked, "Your ladyship…"
Before she could say anything else, Baroness Rose suddenly raised her hand to cut her off. The moment she saw this, her mouth immediately closed and she swallowed her words as she waited for Baroness Rose to speak.
Baroness Rose just simply said, "You don't need to call me that, you can just call me big sister Rose. Since we're both going to be married to Zwein, I'll be like your big sister."
Haley revealed another shocked look as a look of disbelief appeared on her face.
She just looked at Baroness Rose with that same look of disbelief, as if she was trying to figure out if she was kidding or not.
However, Baroness Rose just kept looking at her with a straight face.
So Haley gave a gulp and said, "Big…Big Sister Rose."
When Baroness Rose heard this, she gave a satisfied nod before saying, "Yes, what is it?"
Haley took a deep breath before asking, "Are you sure that you want to share your husband like this? Wouldn't it be wronging you to do something like this?"
The reason she asked this wasn't because she couldn't accept polygamy, but rather because she felt that this would aggrieved Baroness Rose as the title holder.
Baroness Rose revealed a faint smile before saying, "I know how excellent my husband is, so I know that there will be those who won't be able to resist. I also want to gather those who can truly understand how excellent my husband is, so that we can properly support him. Does that answer your question?"
For an outsider, they wouldn't be able to understand her answer, but Haley revealed a look of understanding as soon as she heard this.
After all, she had indeed seen the excellence of Zwein that Baroness Rose spoke of.
So after thinking about it for a bit, she gave a nod and said, "Big Sister Rose, I'll do it."
