I Became an Academy Mechanic Genius

239 – Maybe this marriage… Might not be bad?

“Hmm…”

Ed pondered Eve’s words.

Marries a princess and is granted the royal family’s divine power.

In fact, it wasn’t that he didn’t think about it at all.

There is no family as perfect as the royal family as it holds its power intact.

‘Actually, that’s not true…. ‘Because all other families can be kept in check.’

In addition, the imperial family was the only family that could take over all of its assets without anyone complaining.

The royal family literally holds absolute power, so even if the princess manages her property, there will be no backlash.

It is perfect for maintaining the system without major divisions.

‘But…’

Yes, rationally, this is the most reasonable path.

However, I was worried about how Isabella, Enya, and Charlotte would accept his marriage to the princess.

Of course, even Adela, who gave him the necklace.

-If you are ready to handle our relationship… Please put this necklace on me again.

Ed took out the necklace she had put in her pocket.

After he revealed that he was the reincarnation of Jack.

Adella told me to wear her necklace if I had any feelings for her.

Ed hated himself so much that she fell in love with him.

To the princess, to Isabella, to Enya, to Charlotte, to Adela.

How can we coordinate so many relationships without any problems?

Your body is one, and the time you can spend on it is ultimately limited.

It was impossible to give equal attention and time to everyone.

Above all, even if he thinks he has treated the heroines fairly, it is useless if the person involved does not feel that way.

No matter how much I thought about it, with so many heroines, there was a high possibility that there would be fights between them.

‘But… I don’t want to let anyone go.’

But to Ed, all heroines were precious.

There is no need to mention Enya or Isabella.

The same was true for Charlotte, who formed a new relationship in this episode.

It was one of Ed’s great joys to see her grow from being at the lowest level of her academy, lacking confidence and not knowing how to decorate her appearance, to gradually finding her confidence and growing into the person she is now.

But to think that someone else takes over her.

I felt sick to my stomach and couldn’t bear it.

Charlotte has also become an essential part of her future plans and her own life.

‘Adela, I keep worrying about you too.’

Also, I tried to push her away, but I couldn’t help but feel worried about Adela.

No matter how much you think of Jack Dionel and Edgar Fix as separate people.

‘As long as I have those memories… I can’t be free from Adela and Lucas.’

But Ed had a memory.

As if what Jack Dionel experienced was what he learned.

The months spent trapped with Adela were still vivid before my eyes.

Her eyes looking at herself.

Her beauty is captivating just by looking at her.

You can feel her body temperature when you hold her in your arms.

When he went to bed with her, the way she hugged him and the intense physical conversation.

Ed still had that experience and time flashing before her eyes.

And when she thought of Adela, who must have lived a lonely life raising her Lucas without her, she felt so sick that she could not continue her thoughts.

So he kept wanting to comfort her and make her feel comfortable as she endlessly missed her dead husband.

‘Greed… I guess.’

But will she be able to achieve all that?

Isn’t having five women ultimately making them unhappy rather than making them happy?

“You don’t look good. “You look like you have a lot on your mind.”

At that time, Eve looked at Ed and spoke to him.

Ed, who had gulped down the water on the table, looked back at Eve and answered.

“I’m not sure. How will the children react when they marry the princess? And what do I want to do with them…”

Ed had a clear answer to any problem that came his way.

But when it came to love, things didn’t work out the way I wanted.

The risk was too great to embrace everyone, and there was no one I could let go.

Everything about her was precious for its own reason, and it seemed like it would be happier for her and herself to embrace it rather than let it go.

“Hmm… I don’t think it will work out well without worrying too much.”

But then.

Eve said something meaningful.

You think things will work out just fine without me having to worry?

How can this complex problem of male-female relationships be resolved?

“Just get married.”

When Ed looked at Eve with eyes demanding an explanation, Eve continued.

And then he started using holograms to explain why it could work out well.

“First of all, the biggest advantage of marrying a princess is that the position of royal wife disappears.”

“······.”

“As you probably know, the issue of whether or not one is loyal to a noble is sensitive. Since it is a position where tradition is granted to pass down generations of the family, ambiguous families have no choice but to engage in a secret struggle over the position. But the princess sits in the seat of the royal family? No one can refute it. “Elements that could cause conflict are neatly resolved.”

“······.”

“Besides, the princess has no feelings for her brother. Of course, there is human curiosity and the goodwill that comes from it… But it is safe to say that there are almost no rational emotions. “I think the person the princess is obsessed with is Elena.”

“······Hmm.”

“So the cronyism issue that determines the family succession structure is resolved. As her brother’s wife, the princess will have full legal executive authority, but there are no children between the two. It’s not a bad thing from the spy side either. “She is both rational and emotional.”

Ed nodded her head.

Certainly, having the princess sit in her royal seat is actually helpful in preventing disputes between the heroines.

No one will criticize the absolute divine power of the imperial family.

“More than anything, once all the territories and countries are relocated to her brother’s territory, her brother will truly have absolute power over the imperial family. Because of this, Graham, Cruel, Elmar, and the Verdian family are not particularly reluctant to enter the secret room. “It is much more beneficial for the family to be connected to the Fix family, even as a concubine.”

“······Hmm.”

“Well, that’s the position of the head of the family. Shall we consider the position of the concubine’s side of the relationship with my brother? Yes, of course there will be complaints. Because they all want to have you all to themselves. However, since they are also nobles and are familiar with the social concept of polygamy, they may find it easier to accept it than you think. Rather, it is even more strange that a person with absolute influence like my brother only has one woman. “They know that too, so they accept this situation with both legs and three legs crossed.”

Ed nodded.

If we consider social concepts and aristocratic ways of thinking, there is absolutely no problem with this form of marriage.

Rather, becoming one with the Fix family meant taking a place in this greatest bastion of mankind, so there was absolutely nothing wrong with the nobles marrying based on self-interested calculations.

Isabella and Enya are probably making similar calculations as well.

“Eve, I understand what you’re trying to say. But what I worry about is their hearts. “I think this type of marriage could be hurtful.”

But rational judgment and the mind were separate issues.

Ed’s main concern was the emotional hurt the children would receive as a result of this type of marriage.

Eve nodded her head and answered.

“Yes, in the end, the remaining problem is the human heart, and that will be okay. “There is no element of discomfort at all.”

“······?”

“Let me ask you a question. “Do you know when women are most upset?”

“Uh, note… Well? What, when I made you feel sad?”

“···Similar. It’s when I wasn’t treated well. When a woman feels that she is not treated well, she feels irritated. Is this all I can do? Was I just this person to this person? What on earth does this person think of me? “Things like this?”

“····Uh, uhh.”

“So, if you get married as a concubine, it’s easy to feel annoyed. In particular, if the daughter of a grand duke like Graham or Cruel enters the concubine’s room, their pride will be greatly affected. However, that problem could be overcome without any problems as the princess sat in her royal chambers.”

“····Hmm.”

“The only thing left now is the problem between the concubines, but this actually isn’t a problem either. Because if everyone can respect each other, marriage itself is not a problem.”

“···If we respect each other, marriage is not a problem? What are you talking about.”

“So, for example, something like this. Suppose your brother brings an unsightly woman into his concubine room. Then, of course, conflict is bound to arise. Because, well, that woman is Ed’s wife, just like me? What’s going on with him? “I can’t help but have these thoughts.”

“······.”

“But the women my brother is trying to embrace are all one-of-a-kind. Not to mention they are powerful, they are beautiful, and each of them has outstanding abilities. Of course, Charlotte’s family is poor, but the potential of the natural world creation technique is there. And he is a world authority on alchemy and chemistry.”

Ed nodded her head.

As Eve said, Charlotte developed all kinds of chemical formulas and alchemy through various experiments using her natural creation technique.

“And if her brother cares about Adela, let alone her. She was considered an imperial war hero and a century-old beauty. Moreover, it has also been revealed that she is connected to her brother’s past life.”

“······Hmm.”

“More than anything, my brother took a picture of Soon-ae. Do you remember what happened at the World Tree? Enya has memories of being loved by her brother hundreds of times. Isabella has memories of her abandoning her brother for taking advantage of her in so many episodes. That’s why they don’t fight. Of course, there will be bickering, but that’s not a big problem.”

Ed nodded his head with an expression that said, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’

When I think about it, I remember Enya, Isabella, and Adela only loving them.

“In short, I have accumulated a huge stack. I don’t know if it’s an appropriate expression, but should I call it pure love stack? So, in this life, I will only wish for my brother’s happiness. I will know that the other woman was loved as much as I was loved. So, since my brother knows that he can’t abandon that person, I can accept it even though it’s regretful that I can’t have him all to myself. Well, that’s it.”

Ed smiled.

After listening to Eve’s words, I felt like all my worries had been resolved.

I thought that maybe I could be happy even if I embraced everyone.

“Thank you. Thanks to you, everything became clear. “First, I have to tell everyone about my decision.”

After making a decision, Ed thanked Eve and stood up.

Eve looked at Ed leaving the table with light steps and raised the corners of her mouth.

He looked more excited than ever to be able to be with everyone he loves.

“···Chi. “I don’t even mention it.”

But his excited appearance also hurt him.

Does she, who started her relationship with Ed as a robot arm Fix, not seem like a woman?

If you can’t conceive life, can’t you become a human being?

“···I don’t give up.”

But Eve was not discouraged.

I am a super-intelligent android that can process billions of calculations per second.

Someday I will find a way to become human and a way to receive love from Ed.

And if we find that way, we will be able to squeeze out a lot of Ed’s genetic seeds in a legitimate way and conceive life.

He also lives the life of a slowly aging human being, raising a child who resembles him.

***

After getting the answer, Ed met with each heroine and decided to share his thoughts.

This is because he thought it would be better to meet each person one by one and persuade them rather than calling everyone and talking.

“Adela…”

The first place Ed visited was Elmar Estate.

It was Adela’s territory, where he was anxiously waiting for his own answer.
