Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

As the Dungeon Master, I could easily fix the floor by simply replacing the entire floor with the same exact terrain through the [Floor Terrain Modification] feature of the dungeon. Every time the floor was destroyed, a brand new copy of the floor was soon to be expected within minutes.

This floor was no stranger to destruction and had experienced worse than this. There was one time we conducted a nuke test featuring Czarina here, and literally everything was obliterated since the explosion could not escape and was trapped in this invincible tuna can.

Anyway, I restored this floor once Iris and I settled down. After that, we decided to go back to the surface and talk about the other things to discuss later in a more proper place.

We then joined the others in the palace as if nothing of a lover's quarrel had happened. We happened to meet Sophia, so we took her with us and included her in our conversation in a private room.

In our conversation, I told Iris's secrets to Sophia, as she had the right to know. I already had Iris's permission, of course. Sophia could not believe what we just revealed to her, as it was way out of her expectations, but she gradually ingested the details and eventually understood them.

"I know that she is a great and powerful mage," Sophia uttered. "But to think that Iris is not actually a human at all."

"I am sorry for hiding this the whole time, Sophia," Iris apologized, bowing her head. "I hope you understand and forgive me for that."

"You have reasons to hide your identity, so you don't have to seek my forgiveness as long as you promise to love Raphael. Let's do our best."

"I promise, Sophia. Thank you for giving me a chance."

"What do you think of her now, Sophia?" I asked. "Will you still accept her as my wife after hearing that?"

"I was indeed shocked and surprised when I heard that, and I might even have increased my wariness around her. But even so, I don't think learning her real identity can change how I view her. So yes, I will still accept her as your wife, Raphael."

"Thanks for your understanding, Sophia."

"No problem. I am not new to this ever since you introduced Czarina and Inari to me back then. Besides, I already said that I am allowing you to take as many women as you like, so it isn't a big deal to me, actually."

From the sound of it, Sophia was still fine and did not mind me having Iris as my primary wife. She was always this understanding and considerate when it came to me. I was glad that I had someone like Sophia in my life.

Sophia had yet to witness Iris's true form, and I was planning to introduce the real Iris to my family sometime. Also, I was hoping that she did not think of me having a thing with nonhumans.

"Iris has revealed her real self to you, Raphael, and I think it is time to reveal yours as well. It's unfair if she is the only one to open herself up, you know?"

"I know. I have been planning to tell her that by myself instead of knowing it from others or finding it herself. We are going to marry, and honesty and loyalty are the foundation of relationships."

"But you don't have the loyalty, though," Sophia giggled.

"Sorry, just a part of me."

Now that Sophia had learned and accepted Iris's identity, it was the right time for me to make Iris accept mine. I must have done it before we had our first time, or else it would be a one-night stand, which I was not a fan of. Once I made love with a woman, there was no way I would allow any man to touch her.

Since I had a lot of things to do in the next few days that were related to my parents' wedding, I decided to tell Iris my dark secrets tonight.

◆◇◆◇◆◇

Knock. Knock.

"Come in."

Late at night, inside my room in the palace, two knocks could be heard from the door. Upon my words, the door slowly opened, and the figure of Iris unfolded before my eyes. Even though she was in her modest white nightdress, the edges of her brassiere were still noticeable on her dress.

"Good evening, Raphael."

"Good evening to you too, Iris."

After she closed and locked the door, Iris came closer and hopped on my bed. As I was sitting on the head of the bed, she sat on the other side, making us face one another.

Tonight, I was going to reveal my secrets to her. Secrets that were so bad, immoral, and disgusting that they might possibly turn her stomach upside down with the risk of leaving me in the worst-case scenario.

Before I decided on doing it, I had already prepared myself for the consequences. But deep down, I was not actually ready for Iris to leave me. I did not know if I would be able to recover and move on from it if that happened.

"Just like I said earlier, I called you here because I am going to tell my secrets to you."

"I know, and just like I said before, I am ready to accept you no matter how bad or awful your secrets are."

"If you say so."

"Moreover, I am not done with telling you anything about me. You are curious why you can't read me, right?"

"There's that too. But let me do it first..."

Without turning back, I started disclosing the details of my secrets to Iris.
