After what feels like a wasted day, I get home. Except for the fifth level in Lore Seeker and its new skill, I have nothing to show for my efforts.
"Anyone home?"
Justo makes itself known, "Welcome home. Your family is upstairs. Last I saw them they were in Carl's room."
"I see. Is Anna with them as well or has she not returned yet?"
"The little cat is still out."
"Alright, thank you, Justo."
Family? Not just wife? Did I miss another event?
I go to Carl's room. I'm not sure what to expect, Lucia didn't seem to be on board with the adoption yet or was at least thinking about it.
But then, I didn't receive a message that I had lost a slave, so I guess he's fine?
Knock knock
I'm greeted by a Lucia who has changed her clothing's color scheme.
"Hi, Lucia. Do I... want to ask what is with those colors?"
"What? Do you not like it?"
"Maybe it is a bit too 'evil' for what we should be."
"You think so? Carl liked it."
Little Carl happily chimes in, "Uh-huh. It was super fitting for playing 'hero and demon lord'. I am of course the hero!"
"Wha? Why you!!"
"Hahaha."
Lucia shoves me out of the room.
"What? Have you two already grown that close, Lucia?"
"Ye- N-no! Maybe? I don't... know. I just... don't know."
"So no sudden awakening to motherly feelings?"
She shakes her head, "No. Truth be told, I've no idea what those would be. What is a 'mother'? What is a 'son'? You know our people's suffering under nobles. None of us have a clue what a 'family' is."
I hug her, "Yeah, right. Did you ever have a pet? Or at least know what that feeling is?"
"Yeah."
"Take that feeling as a start. Someone or something you dearly want to keep around. Important is that the feeling is mutual. The rest will follow with time."
"Huh. I guess I can try to see it like that."
"Do you have time now, Lucia? There's something I want to get off my chest."
"Yeah, sure. Elly should be enough to play with Carl."
"Where'd you get enough MP to have both Maria and Elly summoned at the same time? Didn't you want to wait for me before making a final decision on your classes?"
"No, I said I wanted to surprise you."
"You certainly already have."
We enter our private room.
"First off, I organized this robe for you, I think it should be more appropriate for you."
"Ah, thank you. Let me quickly change into it."

And just like that, her previous suit is replaced with the robe. No act of changing clothes. Another fun thing ruined by the system. Thanks for nothing.
"Hmm... not too shabby. Maybe a different color...", Lucia says to herself.
And just like that, the robe starts changing its colors and shape.
Soon she settles on something that is more a mid-long dress showing some skin than a caster robe.
"Yeah, that should do for now."
"Well, a robe doesn't offer much protection to begin with, so I'll let it slide."
"What, are you worried about my safety?"
"Of course. What kind of husband would I be if I didn't?"
"I think you'll be a good husband. We just need to give it some time."
"Right, so back to what I wanted actually to give you..."
I take out the Sun Guard Ring I got earlier.
"Well, it is not the intended order. In my culture, you normally propose before getting married and not after but with our circumstances..."
"What do you mean?"
"Give me your left hand."
"Uh, sure. What now?"
"Lucia, my love, will you marry me?"
"But we already are married?"
"I mean really marry. Make it official, and not just listen to what the system says. Like with a big wedding ceremony and everything. Not right now, but sometime in the future when at least the flood is over."
"Uh, yes.", her eyes get teary, "Yes, let's. I'd be happy to."
I slide the ring on her finger.
"So, uh", she's confused, "what now?"
"Honestly, I never got this far. I think this is where we should hug and kiss to seal the deal?"
"Fine with me."
18+ noises
You know it isn't a shoddy rom-com when the couple is allowed to have an uninterrupted couple moment. I guess that's an upside to not being the protagonist in an anime.
A while later, Lucia begins her assertion, "I had already made up my mind yesterday. Elly just helped me fill in the details. You know... I don't want to just be a plus one that barely exists in the background. I want to fight together with you, be there at your side. I want to be your equal and not just a damsel that waits to get kidnapped. As such Elly and I have come up with this."
