Its been three months since we moved here and make the agreement regarding the reforging of the sword. After my meeting with Dusti there was nothing noteworthy. Everything went well. Sophie managed to raise necessary money for me to get necessary money but I didn't take it since I will need more later. I intend to gain that money by forging instead. I worked well too. I gained the most of the necessary money. Well if you count the swords that wasn't sold yet. So, that is that.

Today is the day I will be reforging the sword. To see this Azzie, Clarisa, the girls, Emerald, Katelin, Leia and Reina came. Dusti wasn't here since he had his duties. So this was a gathering of woman. Such a good way to motivate a person. Before moving on with the reforging, I checked the improvements I made.

I took the sword in my hand and took out the cap of the handle. Then as always, Focus activated.

I quenched the blade and looked at my handiwork. It looked new. Then turned around and passed it to Reena, who was waiting patiently. She took the sword in her hands and together with Leia, started to inspect it. Everyone including me were waiting for the results of their inspection. I was sure it will work because we worked for this three all months. There was a reason I prepared for three months. It was because this wasn't a normal reforging. If it was a normal reforging, we could reforge it much easily. The reason this reforging different was the fact that we had to merge new steel to it. That's why we had to find out the composition of the metals in the original sword and complete it with the steel with correct composition and enough amount. Well second point was easier since I could always cut out some of the steel, assuming first point was correct enough.

Reena finished inspecting the sword and passed it to Leia. She came closer to me, and hugged me. “Sorry Reena but I like it young.”

She chuckled and patted my head. “Well, its good that I have a daughter.”

“Are you saying what I think you are saying?”

“She will hug me!”

“... will be your wife.”

“What?” Others chuckled at my question.

“You didn't know?”

I shrugged. “Leia said something about reforging the sword but I didn't think much of it.”

Reina turned to Leia. “Didn't you tell him?”

“I was going to say that but he was standing on a table naked and doing something to it. Then he asked if I was going to do with him. So I.. went away.”

Reina turned back to me. “What were you doing to the table. Its a very valuable table.”

I sighed and made a no gesture then found Merideth and pointed to her. Reena looked but at first her eyes glazed over Merideth. She noticed and looked more carefully and finally managed to see. She must have known Haki since pointing wasn't normally enough to see Merideth. Case proved by Leia's continued efforts. “I was doing with her not the table. We were just doing on it.”

Reena nodded slowly. “Then what do you think about marrying my daughter?”

“Well. If the girls are okay with it.” I turned to look at them but there was no protest. “Then I can but why should I marry Leia when I wasn't marrying with girls. They are my women too.”

Reena looked shocked. “You still didn't figure it out?” I looked at her questioningly. “Leia is the Queen of Chia Kingdom.”

“What! I thought you are the queen not her. Well then its obvious why I should marry her but” I turned to Leia and pointed her to the girls. “Are you okay with them?” She nodded readily. “Then.. okay. Lets marry.” She beamed at me. I gestured her to wait. “I have one condition.” She gestured me to go on. “I don't want to deal with Kingdom's ruling. I can help as much as I did until now but other than that.. I am good.”

Leia smiled. “Its okay. Ruling the Kingdom is my responsibility. I just want you to be there when I need you.” I nodded. She clapped loudly. “Then, what about tomorrow. Is that good?”

I was surprised. “Won't there be a reception or something like that? Won't you announce it to the nobles.”

She smiled. “We already did that.” I was about to ask something but she gestured me to wait, so I did. She continued. “Reforging the sword is a trial to appoint a King or a Queen. If you are confused, you should think about what we are value most. Even though commerce is important for Chia Kingdom, most valuable craft for us isn't merchant, but blacksmith.”

I nodded to her. “Will I have to live in the castle?”

She shook her head. “No one lives in the castle other than soldiers. Since we are as rulers not known among the people, we are the safest when we are outside. And, we better like to talk face to face.”

“Well, I have no other questions. Lets marry now and go for the next step right away, what do you say?”

She chuckled. “Not now. Doing it tomorrow is better. Today me and mother have things to do. We need to show the sword to the nobles to make things official.” I nodded to that. They took sheathed the sword and headed to the door. They went out with everybody except Emerald who headed to the forge instead. I closed the door and followed after her. She stopped when she noticed I was following, then turned to me. Her eyes were a little red.

“Emerald. What's wrong?” I tried to reach her face but she stopped me.

“Why did you accept? Aren't we enough for you?”

“You are pretty enough by yourself. I am not marrying for her only. Being one of the most powerful people in the island has its uses too. You heard yourself. Nobles knew from the start. That's why they left us alone. But if I reject her offer, it might not continue like this. Still. If you want, I will reject. What do you say?”

She looked down to ground. After a while raised her head. “I understand I don't want you to reject. Just don't forget about us, okay?”

“I told you. It would be very hard to forget you. And we will continue to stay here. Leia will come here instead. It will be like there was a new girl.” She nodded and wiped her nose with her hand. All the while I watched with fascinated horror. She saw my face and chuckled. Then headed towards bathroom, probably to clean her hands.

I shrugged and went to forge. By this point all swords got passed by my hand. Meaning I reforged them all. All there is left to forge new ones. So I picked ingots and started forging.

I continued like this until the night. I managed to forge three swords in a single day. That's a new record. When I was done cleaning the forge, I went to my bedroom. Cassie was already there, again naked. Sigh I climbed to the bed and let the sleep take me.

I woke up to Cassie's movements. She was trying to climb on me discreetly. I shook her gently. She looked at me and smiled mischievously. I shook my head and got off the bed. She pouted but didn't say anything. Since I was already awake and out of the bed, I got out of the room. I made my way towards to forge, intending to forge another katana before breakfast.

When I was downstairs I saw Emerald there, sitting on the entrance, looking outside. I quietly sat beside her. She turned to me slowly, saw me then smiled. She gave some of her weight to me and continued watching.

I had questions. I wanted to ask but I kept my mouth shut. After a while she sighed. “I had another apprentice before you.”

“Really were they as awesome as me?”

She chuckled. “Not even half as talented as you. But you know, that's still much talent. That's why I took her as my apprentice.”

“Her? Was she hot?”

Sigh “Please keep your son out of the discussion.” She said in a monotonous tone. I chuckled and nodded. “She was a great apprentice. She would do everything I asked without any protest even if it seem unreasonable. We shared many things together. Too many to count.”

“What happened to her?”

“She ran away. With my master's hammer and some of my money. And my boyfriend.”

“What? He left you? Good riddance. He was an idiot anyway.”

She chuckled. “He was, that's true, but not in the way you think. My apprentice was.. She was even more beautiful than me.”

“Wait. That was possible? I need a picture of her. I am very interested in her looks, they might open up new possibilities.”

She looked at me. “I thought you stopped trying to make them as beautiful as possible after Sora.”

“No. I stopped using Haki for it. There is still improvements to make regarding their looks.” She sighed and shook her head. “Where did they run to?”

“Grand line.”

“Oh. Rip.”

“No. “ She shook her head. “They found a spot in a rather big ship as crew members. They should be still alive.”

“I.. I will find them and punch them for you someday, you can be sure.”

She smiled sadly. “I know you can do it but I don't think you can find them.”

“Pfft. Can't find them? World is smaller then you think. Though don't misunderstand me. You will never see them. I will, and beat them for you.”

She looked at me seriously. “Why are you so intent on beating them?”

“Well. I don't know what else to do.” She smiled.

“You don't need to do anything.”

“Of course I do. I am your man after all.” I puffed up my chest and looked ahead. That gained me a little laughter.

She closed her mouth to stop herself. Since we are looking outside while its midnight, we don't want to wake other people. She then leaned to me. “How I envy you. You have everything you need to be happy. But I..”

“Stop.” She did. “You have me. I will do whatever you need for you, other than, of course sharing you with other men. I won't do that.”

“But that's not fair.” She pointed.

“Good. Life isn't fair after all.” We chuckled together.

She held my hand. “Lets do it.” I nodded and started taking of my clothes. She stopped me smiling. “Not here. Inside.” I nodded and took a step inside and continued undressing. After she closed the door, she undressed too. “We will do it until I say stop. I don't want to pass out today. Okay?” I nodded and we started doing it.

“Stop.” I stopped right away. I am a man of my word after all. We took our clothes in our hands and made our way to bathroom. There we cleaned each other backs then it came to her insides. She looked at me suspiciously. “I don't want to wait until it leaks on its own, so you will put it in only once okay?” I nodded quickly and put it in, all the way. When my son got in, something white gushed out of her. I took him out and waited for her to say something. She looked unsure after a while she nodded to herself and started cleaning her legs. I sighed and did the same. After the bath I was ready to marry.

We ate breakfast as usual and started waiting for new from Leia. While waiting, we started talking about random things. Sophie asked an odd question to me in between.

“If someone rich were to give you a gift what would you like it to be? And before you ask, they are hot and willing to do it with you so?”

“Hmm.” I put my hand on my chin. “Well, I need 75.750.000 Beli for my experience requirement. That would be great I think.” I looked at Sophie smiling. “When do you think you can gain that much hm?”

“It will take long. Your idea regarding guns should get us some good income but you didn't even created the follower, so..”

“I understand but you are responsible for our money. I expect you to ready the needed amount.” She nodded and we continued our chat.
