Polyamorous Marriage

“That pretty much forces me to choose you both, for personal reasons and the health of Itheria. However, I emplore Princess Fiona, Lady Devona, and Princess Kalisah all avoid thinking that they are any less worthy in my eyes. I pray that they refrain from allowing their people the choice of taking this as a slight against them”

Princess Kalisah, has been mostly silent in both voice and body language since she walked in and announced her greeting and what her father considered her dowager. “I request the opportunity to stay in the capital for a bit longer, and think about the offer more or see if I am attracted towards any of your other single nobility.

You sharply look at Princess Arinyagimli and Queen Cielina both and they seemed shocked by Kalisah’s apparently reversal.

However, Princess Kalisah is allowed to continue, “As the youngest child of my father, Grand Sultan’s harem, I had thought I could escape the fate of joining another noble’s haram. That is one of the reasons I talked my father into letting me sail here.

Kalisah holds up a hand to hold off being interrupted, “When I heard of your heroism in the Battle of Mount Sargasso I knew I made the right choice. Part of the reason that I got to that point though, is that my home state desparately needs economic help. The promise of science and technology was meant to give me an advantage, however I see now how my ignorance has cost me.

“Returning home at all simply is less than acceptable.”

Soon to be Queen Arinyagimli smiles warmly but immediately tries to assuage her former competitors concerns. “For being selected, grateful I am, to both of my fiancées. Princess Kalisah, as my future lover stated regardless of the choice you are every bit my peer, I do believe. I will do whatever I can to help you find your own lifemate, if that is what you choose.

“If both of my fiancées are good with it then, please take whatever time you want… well until the wedding.

“However what we are formin is different from being a harem, as understood by me. Neither of us will accept any sort of hierarchy, and given what we both heard what Queen Cielina said of Bryce, neither will he. We are choosing to allow ourselves to see the other with admiration, adoration, and being in love with them; Instead of just with Bryce. That alone significantly alters the structure of our coming union from being a polygamous marriage, or harem…”
