YM778.TV Chapter 443: Making Her Special
Even though they agreed to get along, they were not taking it seriously since they thought it would not work. However, because they assumed that this last name stuff was only temporary, we had some of the funniest and silliest surnames on the continent.
As stated before, the number of names in a person\'s identity determined their social status. This naming system still segregated the classes of people in the society.
Common people had two names; crazy rich merchant families and knight peerage, such as baronets, could have three; nobles, from barons to archdukes, bore four names, that included the nobiliary particle; and royals possessed five, also including the nobiliary name.
The names were imprinted on each individual\'s official identification card. For our nation, the cards that were issued from the Raevender Dungeon. Once their names had been set, it would then reflect on their status boards afterwards.
By the way, the name on a person\'s status board was based on what was written on their dungeon cards. That was why monsters were mostly nameless.
But how did I already have a name when I was still a child and cardless? Apparently, the world itself somewhat subconsciously recognized the identity that one\'s parents had given them even without a card and put it on the status board by default.
Along with the naming system, we also made some amendments to some existing laws. For example, the age of consent and how old an individual was to be considered legal.
In most of the human nations on this continent, the age of consent was thirteen years old for both human males and females, while the legal age to get married was fifteen. Since I used to live in a modern society back on Earth, I found it quite unsettling, so I noted to myself to do something about it.
In the Queendom of Raevender, we raised the age of consent to fifteen and the legal age to eighteen years old. That regulation also applied for a few other races with a similar maturity rate as humans, like the beastfolk.
The change of the ages might be drastic for the locals of this world, as their minds were still stuck with the era comparable to the Middle Ages of Earth. But this was what I was accustomed to, and it was, as far as I concerned, more moral and safer.
When I said safer, I meant the prevention of adolescent pregnancies, which was linked to a high infant mortality rate, unfortunately. Actually, a human body did not fully develop at the age of eighteen, more like in the early twenties.
Due to the establishment of that change, a number of marriages in our nation had been cancelled and postponed. Some of them were truly excited, especially when they witnessed my parents wedding, but sorry for them, laws were laws.
Well, we actually changed a lot of things in our current constitution, but those two were the most notable amendments so far. Though most of them were about human and nonhuman rights.
Even though most of my suggestions were based on my modern previous world, seeking my family\'s opinions really helped in making the laws more rational and suited well for this world\'s standards.
Taking aside the administrative aspects, I had been busy with various things as well, whether it was business, political, or personal affairs. Despite my busy schedule, it did not stop me from initiating sexy times with my loved ones.
Having intimate times with my family and fiancees was frequent during this vacation as they were conveniently approachable. That also applied for my personal maids and tamed monsters, but I did it with my family more often.
The women who I rarely accompanied in bed were the ones who had their own responsibilities, for example, Elise, a sovereign vampiric noblewoman, Lucy, Uriel, and Dane, who were busy managing our military.
Aside from their own lives, there was this long queue for them to take their turn. As far as I knew, considering the factors mentioned, I could say that I had the least amount of time spent with Dane.
I was her lover, the man she truly trusted and loved, and yet I barely spent time with her. Even since we entered into a relationship, I could count how many times we had intimacy with the fingers of my hand; that was awfully low.
I did not want her to think that I did not really pay attention to her or that I was just seeing her as a sex friend. I absolutely did not want her to lose faith in me. To make things up with her, I invited her to my room tonight. I wanted to make her special.
"Good evening, Dane."
Good evening to you too... Your Highness."
We greeted one another as soon as Dane locked the door of my room after she came in. I was sitting at the edge of my bed while she just awkwardly stood before me with her modest white nightgown.
"Come on, you don\'t have to address me Your Highness all the time, you know? I want you to call me by my name when we are alone."
"...I got it, Raphael."
She said with a lovely smile, but it did not seem like she was forcing herself, which was good.
"Um...should we start?" She asked.
"Well, I love to, but there is something I want to do before we start." I responded and then patted the bed a few times. "Let\'s sit together, Dane."
"If you say so..."
Dane walked forward before she sat on the bed next to me. I could sense that she was wondering what we would do.
I did not know how she would react to what I would say, but we were here, and I could not back out now.
