"Oh no... that's too kind of you. Thank you very much for your praise. Now then, I'll be going..." Rafayel said as he turned around to leave.
But—
"Wait, Rafayel. Are you willing to become my wife... no, not just my wife—will you become the mother of these children?" Duke Nukem asked.
"Huh...?"
Rafayel turned around and stared at Duke Nukem in surprise after the sudden words. But at that moment, the faces of his three beloved husbands had already appeared clearly in his mind.
"...Duke Nukem, I truly appreciate your words, but I already have three husbands. Because of that, I won't be taking on any more."
Thomas was also waiting in the room with him. Rafayel knew that if he didn't give a clear answer here, what would follow was obvious.
"Even after I've asked you this seriously?" Duke Nukem pressed.
"Yes. I'm very sorry, Duke Nukem, but I cannot accept your request."
Rafayel lowered his head and waited in that position for Duke Nukem's response.
