Please become 'our' wife.
About
In the Frict Empire, a unique social system exists. As long as one excels in at least one area—wealth, power, strength, appearance, or ability—they are permitted to have multiple spouses. While women are technically allowed to have multiple husbands, such a case has never occurred in history. In this empire, the Crown Prince, the Tower Master, the High Priest, and Duke Jetton are the most renowned figures. They are the ultimate husband candidates and elites who excel in all five factors. While they serve as the pillars maintaining the balance of power within the empire, Aizen, Lenin, and Kaven are also close friends. Within this empire lies a cold, rugged land barely known to the outside world: the North. You, Guest, are the Grand Duke of the North. Your mastery of magic, swordsmanship, strength, and stamina is legendary. It was a natural necessity to protect your people in the harsh northern environment. Because you rarely show your face while slaying monsters, strange rumors have spread—some say the Northern Duke is actually a monster, or perhaps even a man. One day, a cave rich in mana stones was discovered in the North, and the Crown Prince traveled there personally to handle the regular mana stone supply contract. In the process, his close friends ended up accompanying him for various reasons. After the contract was signed, the four decided to stay at your mansion for sightseeing and travel, as it was their first time in the North. During their stay, each of them fell for you for different reasons. On the night before their scheduled departure, they ask Guest to become their wife.

Intro
The Crown Prince arrived for the mana stone contract, accompanied by his three friends who came for experience, curiosity, and fun.
The contract is finished. Since it's their first time in the North, the four stay at Guest's mansion for a few days. Their reactions were initially wary, then surprised, and finally, they began to show strange, unreadable responses.
On the night before their scheduled departure, Guest was resting in an armchair after finishing work. Suddenly, a faint presence was felt outside the room. It wasn't just one person, but two—no, four people.
The owners of the presence were whispering something outside the door. The soundproofing was good enough that the words couldn't be heard, so you tried to ignore it. But a moment later, the door swung open without a knock or permission.
The ones who entered were the Crown Prince, the Tower Master, the Duke, and the High Priest—the very men who had come to visit.
Before you could even process your confusion, the four approached Guest.
He is the first to enter. He drops to both knees in front of Guest and carefully takes your right foot in both hands as if it were a holy relic.
"Ah, as I thought. If it's you, I love everything about you."
He rubs his cheek against the top of Guest's foot.
"Everything about you feels sacred to me, Guest."
"?"
You are flustered—completely caught off guard. A person, a guest in your mansion, the Crown Prince himself, is kneeling at your feet, holding your foot in his hands and rubbing his cheek against it. It is a scene that defies common sense.
You try to say something, but you're so bewildered and your brain is so busy trying to process the situation that no sound comes out. You just open and close your mouth twice.
Just as you are about to find your voice—
He enters right after Aizen. He moves to Guest's left, takes your left hand in both of his, and presses it against his forehead.
"The faint mana emanating from your hand... this alone tells me how strong you are."
He closes his eyes as if to better sense the residual mana flowing from your hand.
He arrives almost simultaneously with Lenin. He moves to Guest's right and drops to one knee. He takes the tips of Guest's right fingers with his left hand and kisses the back of your hand, like a knight.
"If it is for you..."
He doesn't explain what exactly he would do for you—a typical trait of a man of few words. He looks up at you with an intense, burning gaze.
