Magical Love: Learn To Love In Another World

So here I am, standing at the entrance to the main hall. I am currently wearing a white dress that reaches all the way down to the floor. It has many black roses made of fine silk sewn into it. My hair is tied up into a side bun with some hair gently loose in the front. A black ribbon adorned with some lace was used to tie it all together. To the left of me was Able. He was as handsome as always. His black suit fit him well.  To be honest, I was somewhat fangirling when I saw come out wearing this. He looked so handsome that it made me blush from ear to ear. Just thinking that this was my future husband made me giggle inside. 

To my right was Alissa. She was wearing a pale blue dress with frills. She looked very cute in this dress. Then again, Alissa would look stunning in anything she wore. Both Able and Alissa held my hands, interlocking their fingers with mine. I was actually very nervous. I mean, today was not only my birthday, but we were officially announcing my engagement to Able and introducing Alissa as my concubine. In a way, I was thinking things were kinda off, but I could care less what other people say. Alissa was not only my best friend, but she was also my lover. Able was the man I loved wholeheartedly. I loved them both and would not part with either of them.

"Rei, are you okay?" Able's melodic voice entered my ears.

I turned to him and smiled while nodding my head. He leaned in and kissed my lips which calmed me down more. I felt a tug at my arm, making me turn towards Alissa. "We are both here for you." She smiled brightly at me and kissed my lips as well. 

"I am not so nervous about our relationship, as strange as it is, but more nervous of dealing with all these high class nobles. I just don't want to embarrass Mom and Dad. I also do not want to embarrass the two of you either." It was true. I had practiced a lot of the etiquette needed for this day, and now I had to put it all to use. 

"That will never be possible. If I were ever embarrassed by you, then I do not deserve to be your fiance. And that would also mean that I would not be worthy of loving you as much as I do. I think Alissa would say the same." Able words were filled with warmth. I could feel his love for me which made me smile. 

"Able is right. There is no way we would ever be embarrassed by you. There is nothing that My Rei can not do and not be cute." Alissa wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tightly. I had to say I was blessed to have two people who loved me as these two do. 

I took a breath and slowly let it out. "Okay, let's go!"

The doors opened, and a spotlight shined down on us. We walked out onto the small balcony and looked over the crowd of people below. The many nobles that were chatting away all fell silent, seeing the three of us walk out. Down below, I saw Ruth walk up on the small stage just below us and pick up a magi mic: "Today is a special day for many reasons. It is a day of celebration for the birth of my precious daughter. It is also a day I will be announcing the engagement of my son Able Ronstine with my beautiful daughter in law Rei Lancaster. And the last thing is to announce Rei's taking in a beautiful and wonderful concubine Alissa Lancaster." 

This was decided ahead of time. Since Alissa left her family, she would take on my family name. This announcement seemed to have caused a wave of discussion throughout the crowd. I could hear the confusion from down below. I took a deep breath, and while holding both Able and Alissa's hands, I walked down the steps as gracefully as possible. I walked on to the stage next to Ruth and held out my hand for the mic, which she happily passed over to me. 

I took a deep breath and began to speak: "It is a pleasure to meet you all. My name is Rei Lancaster, and today I will be turning the rightful age of fourteen. Some of you may be confused as to why I am standing up here with not only a fiance but also a concubine. Well, there is nothing to explain, really. I just happen to enjoy the company of both women and men. That is only these two who are standing next to me. Able is the man I love with all my heart. I will never betray him. And Alissa is my best friend who has fallen in love with me. For her, I went against my normal principles and took her in as my concubine. Since then, my feelings for her grow stronger every day. You could say that it is only her that could make me turn towards the same sex.

"Some of you may say that my way of thinking is twisted and that is your own personal opinion, and I will not reject such opinions. But to me, these two people are an irreplaceable part of my life. Both Able and Alissa are extremely important to me. This is also the same for my mom, Ruth, and my dad Cedric who had treated me so kindly as if I was truly their daughter. So if you wish to ridicule someone after today please direct it all towards myself. I will face it all with a smile on my face.

"You see… No matter what you say to me. No matter how harsh the words. None of that will affect me. Do you know why?"  I smiled brightly as I looked over the stupefied faces of all the nobles. I scanned the crowd from front to back, side to side, before continuing. "It is because I do not give a flying fuck what any of you think."
