After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 2171

Chapter 2171: Virion’s Wives

Both wives were daughters of nobles here. Before they got married, both women were considered top women to marry, though for different reasons. While the dinner went on, they found out a lot about the circumstances of the marriage.

The first wife, Gadia, was the only child of a powerful noble family in Warrior City, while his second wife, Lerea, was beautiful, gentle, and virtuous.

Information like this naturally wasn’t spread out casually. The gossip came from no other than Lord Valhalla himself.

He was very happy and excited to speak about his progress. For example, last week, he was able to do basic skills. Lately, he was on the verge of gathering and storing enough aether to do an intermediate skill. The man, a little inebriated, even went to the yard to show off. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

It had been decades since he had used this skill, so he was naturally very excited to make use of it.

The technique in question was called the Cracking Punch. He punched the ground, and it would create a small earthquake in that area.

It was his go-to technique in his youth whenever he was surrounded by mobs or enemies, imbalancing most of those surrounding him for a couple of seconds.

Althea and the others clapped, appearing very impressed.

It was during this high that Garan and Virion started competing with how many glasses of booze they could take in. The two wives patiently stayed in the room, quiet, sipping tea, eyes on Virion.

Valhalla chatted with Althea and told her these stories, though naturally he said it quietly so the two women in question wouldn’t overhear.

The first wife, Gadia, was a beautiful woman with flashy red hair, more saturated than Virion’s. She seemed to be the valiant kind, at least in appearance.

Virion had been her bethrothed to Gadia since young. It was just that Virion thought of her as a sister until then, while Gadia was groomed to be his bride, so the relationship change was naturally awkward.

Allegedly, Virion found it torture to sleep with her. He liked her as a person and as a friend, but sleeping together affected the relationship negatively.

This knowledge became common knowledge in time, and it wasn’t a surprise that Virion’s next wife was the gentle flower that looked like she could be blown away by the wind.

Like with Gadia, they barely spent time together, and the woman spent most of her time in her garden or socializing.

"Scumbag," Althea said, shaking her head in disapproval. Garan also looked at Virion as if he were the lowest scum.

Virion went to follow Garan, who wanted to go to his wife, not seeing his own wives at the side.

Viron quickly raised his hands at the curses, having an idea about what they had been talking about. He was about to say ’they were forced on me’ but that would be too impolite, especially when the women were right there.

"I think our current status quo is peaceful enough. I treat them with respect and make sure they don’t lack anything in terms of material things, okay?"

If it were up to him, he would still be single, but again, he didn’t say it out loud. The two wives were not bad women, and he considered them as his friends. They were all just unlucky to have been shoved at each other’s throats.

Besides, he really hadn’t been unfaithful. Since getting married the first time, he had not slept with anyone else other than his wives!

In the standards of these aborigine men, this was already considered conservative. One had to know that 99% of noblemen were definitely much worse.

This was why Althea and Garan didn’t really hold this onto him and did not judge him too harshly. People’s standards and world views were just different and they wouldn’t impose their own on someone else, let alone people older than them by several years.

Pushing these aside, they of them simply spoke of the couple’s adventures on the other side, while Virion was pushed to play host to his wives.
