“Ah… I’m Odelia Delacroix, of House Delacroix,” Odelia said with a wide and frightening smile.
She didn’t seem that surprised with Alana or Irini.
It made Rene terrified for his life.
Odelia didn’t respond to either women. Instead she turned to his parents and gestured to the massive necklace.
“This is the courting gift Rene presented me with. We’re due to go looking for another courting gift today or tomorrow now that we’re formally in an arrangement. As his fiancé I welcome you Felicie,” Odelia said. Then she bowed her head once to his parents. “The Delacroix house would be most pleased if you could come to tea service later, Mother, Father.”
Looking mortified, and somehow pleased, his parents nodded at Odelia.
I… think I want to die.
This was a mistake. I’m sorry for ever wanting a harem.
I’m sorry, I’m sorry!
Can we die?
Dear Watcher, I’m praying to you, kill us?
There was no response from the Watcher.
Please? Kill us?
Just like Monster asked?
Please?
There was, as of yet, still no response from the Watcher.
Slowly, all eyes turned to him.
His unknown-to-him Elven housewife, his Alis assassin who claimed his kits, and his noble very-much-courted fiancé of sorts.
Rene opened his mouth and stupidly said the first thing that came to him.
“Hello, there,” Rene said.
Then finally heard the Watcher.
It was nothing but laughter. Loud, obnoxious, laughter.
Thank you, dear reader!

If you enjoyed this book, try out the books of some of my close friends. I can heartily recommend them.
Blaise Corvin- A close and dear friend of mine. He’s been there for me since I was nothing but a rookie with a single book to my name. He told me from the start that it was clear I had talent and had to keep writing. His background in European martial arts creates an accurate and detail driven action segments as well as his world building.

John Van Stry- John was an author I read, and re-read, and re-read again, before I was an author. In a world of books written for everything except harems, I found that not only did I truly enjoy his writing, but his concepts as well.
In discovering he was an indie author, I realized that there was nothing separating me from being just like him. I attribute him as an influence in my own work.
He now has two pen names, and both are great.

Jan Stryvant-

Daniel Schinhofen- Daniel was another one of those early adopters of my work who encouraged and pushed me along. He’s almost as introverted as I am, so we get along famously. He recently released a new book, and by all accounts including mine, is a well written author with interesting storylines.
