Chapter 301 Polygamy?
Davis looked at Kara's expression and he didn't need to be an expert to know that she also wanted to be with him but he could understand her plight.
From their conversation, he could garner that Drake already had a harem, while only sincerely loving Kara for maybe more than two years.
On the other hand, Kara who feels lonely and had the urge for revenge against an entire kingdom while having complicated yet endearing emotions for him.
"Kara, I love you, and there's no denying that feeling, but the way I fell in love with the other five of them slowly is through physical relationship and understanding each other."
"I don't get it..." Kara shook her head.
Drake looked at her in the eye and said, "I raped them..."
Kara's eyes widened while it emitted disbelief, "You're lying..."
Kara's mind turned a little bit chaotic as she thought, 'There's no way! If so, then why didn't he have his way with me earlier at that time...'
Davis blinked, not believing his ears. Did this person just confess his wrongs or...
"To be precise, it was the previous owner of this body who raped them... not me..." Drake added with a chuckle after seeing both of their reactions.
Kara froze and then let out a sigh as she thought, 'So that's what happened...'
"Although your past is farfetched and unrealistic, I couldn't help but believe in your words..." Kara added as she turned away and continued to walk while her eyes emitted a complicated gleam.
She shook her head and painfully learned that she found it unable to extricate herself from him even after he uttered those disgusting words.
"Kara..." Drake was inwardly moved.
He absolutely thought that she would run away from him once he declared this but she still spoke as if she had full trust in him.
In the past, he was hesitant to tell her about this, afraid that she would leave him, but now, things didn't turn out like he expected to happen.
Maybe it was not trust, but faith.
He looked at Davis and saw him in a new light.
Ever since the other party appeared, his good relationship with Kara seemed to be increasing at a faster rate?
Or was it his imagination? In any case, he felt thankful since a third party existed to verify his claims.
If Davis didn't exist, he would find it difficult to explain his past to her since it would not be believable or feasible in any way but with the former's presence, he could certainly prove his words to be true.
Davis nodded his head at Drake. The latter certainly told him that the person who was in Drake's body at that time was scum, so with that, he had already managed to figure out his confession.
He moved closer to Drake as Kara took the front, being the vanguard for some reason.
"Well, aren't you lucky? To have someone believe you like that... though I don't know what happened between you two in the past." Davis spoke and gave off a chuckle.
"Ah... You don't know how hard I worked for this moment!" Drake lamented as he looked at the sky.
He then put his hands around Davis's shoulders and smirked, "What? Are you jealous that I have a harem?"
Davis lifted his brows, 'Did he just close up the distance between us in instant?'
"Heh, maybe..." Davis snorted.
Drake smiled but his face turned sour, "You don't know but... When I came into existence and inherited that scum's memories, do you know how they were treated? They were traumatized by that scum! It couldn't help break my heart, so I treated them well until they slowly opened up their hearts to me so I also..."
"I understand... I'm not thinking bad of you." Davis cut him short and replied.
Drake blinked, "Well, you know... since we're both from Earth, I was just afraid that you were trapped by the concept of monogamy. After all, polygamy is extremely normal here..."
Davis laughed imperceptibly, "When did you die exactly?"
Drake turned confused, "You mean on Earth? I guess it was around 2017..."
Davis shook his head, "Let me tell you, the last moment I spent on Earth was 2030!"
Drake's eyes blazed, "Really? Did No Game No Life Season 2 come out?"
Davis became flabbergasted but still replied, "Yes, not only did season 2 released but season 3 too!"
"Fuck YES!!" Drake gave off a muffled yet excited groan. He then instantly changed his expression and narrowed his eyes, "Now, how do I return to earth!?"
Davis looked at him as he blinked. His expression seemed to say how he was supposed to know.
Drake shut his mouth and looked to the front, quite embarrassed. He regained his bearings and asked, "Well, you were about to teach me something?"
Davis nodded calmly, "Monogamy was no longer the trend in 2029."
Drake opened his eyes wide as he looked shocked! He stuttered, "W-what do you mean?"
Davis smirked, "By 2027, marriages rarely took place."
"Humans became promiscuous and love became harder to find, and even though there were love marriages present, people failed to hold onto their promises and vows."
"So what became prevalent was marriages by contract!"
Drake took in a deep breath as he realized, "You mean?"
"Exactly, people based their marriages based on contract! One such basic example was that they excluded their rights to the property of the other party in the marriage so that they won't have to lose their wealth when they divorce."
"Like this, the rate of marriages went less and less. At the end of 2028, a billionaire was found to have a mistress and that scandal deeply echoed in the world but what turned the view of the world around was his legal wife was absolutely okay with his actions and even helped him marry that mistress."
"But no such laws supported bigamy so the western governments had to make some amendments and there came a loophole which basically allowed that billionaire to have two wives!"
"And that marked the re-advent of polygamy into the world as numerous countries also adopted the same yet differing laws with limitations for their own benefits and in the name of progression in the year 2029."
Drake had his face blank as he looked at Davis in a disbelieving light.
