The next second, Rosalie felt the tight grip around her waist vanish.

Instead, there was a gentle hug from behind, and Julien’s familiar Westland scent filled the air.
“That’s heartbreaking, Matriarch. You won’t even help me.”
Julien’s voice was steady, not too loud or soft.
Leon held his forehead, shook his head, and slowly got up from the floor.
“What did you do to him?” Rosalie asked in a low voice.
“Just a little sedative from my homeland. It’ll wear off soon.”
Rosalie finally relaxed. After all, she’d spent far more time with Leon and the others, so she’d naturally worried.
Seeing everyone calm down a bit, she announced something important.
“When the chillwave ends, Julien will be my
husband.”
Even though they’d expected she might take another beastman, their hearts still ached at the words.
Cameron’s lips trembled. He couldn’t say anything.
Leon stared at Rosalie in silence. After a long moment, he finally broke the heavy stillness.
“No matter what decision you make, we’ll support you.”
He stepped forward, pried Julien’s hand off her shoulder, and shot him a sharp glance.
They gathered around Rosalie and headed for the door. Cameron purposely bumped Julien hard as they passed.
Julien didn’t fight back. He just smiled at Rosalie and waved.

She knew it would take time for them to accept it. Even in a world where one wife could have multiple husbands, who could watch the person they loved share what should have been theirs.
alone?
The existing ones were one thing. But now there was someone new. Of course, it would take time to adjust.
By the time they got home, it was already noon. Seeing their expressions, Rosalie quietly slipped into the kitchen, planning to cook.
But Leon was already at the stove. Cameron tended the fire, and Micah was chopping ingredients. No space was left for her.
With nothing else to do, she slunk back out. In the courtyard, Elijah was chopping firewood nonstop. Each swing split the logs perfectly in four. It felt like he wasn’t chopping wood, but her.
Declan was nowhere to be seen. Not long after, he returned with another huge pile of firewood.
In such a big house, Rosalie somehow had nothing to do.
She summoned the system. When she saw the screen, she fell silent.
“Remaining debt: 600 coins.”
“Repayment deadline: Today.”
Only then did Rosalie realize what she’d forgotten. With Micah and the others interrupting her earlier, she’d completely forgotten that the main reason she went to the city today was to borrow money.
