The devoted all stood up in attention and slightly bowed. Similarly, even the husband ranks also stood at attention and gave their respect. Hiro who saw the old man could not calm his thoughts.

'HOLY SHIT! THIS DUDE LOOKS LIKE A VILLAIN IF I SAW ONE! I'm sure this bastard is behind everything no matter what it is. This ojisan looks like the criminal mastermind, my manga instincts are screaming.'

The old man eventually went to the podium ignoring the hero and spoke in a deep voice full of authority. "The ceremony binding for the crown princess will now begin, everyone takes your seat. Princess, please step forward."

At his words, everyone else got seated and only Hiro was left standing quickly heading towards the pew of the husbands, the old man then rebuked him.

"Where are you going? This binding ceremony is for you, stand over here you moron."

Hiro kept his complaints to himself as he went to the spot indicated by the old man. When he finally got to look towards the exit of the chapel, he saw a sight he would never forget in his life.

Rhyne, looking like a goddess walked towards him clothed in a provocative wedding dress that highlighted her shapely breasts and slender figure. She had a veil that covered her face and a small bouquet of roses in her hands. Hiro inwardly thought 'If this is a dream, I'm fine not waking up immediately.'

The Dominant of Starfall eventually came in front of Hiro as she faced him. "Hiro-sama please forgive me for springing this on you, I always perform this type of binding ceremony with my husbands to set the mood."

Hiro who heard the giggling voice of Rhyne answered in a fluster. "It's okay, I'm embarrassed I'm under-dressed though. Please forgive me I should have changed to better clothing or at least taken a shower. You look divine by the way."

The princess took Hiro's hands and giggled at the word of her soon-to-be husband. She answered in a happy voice full of love. "Think nothing of it, sweetheart. A wife's glory is her husband's happiness those are the worlds of my mother. If you find me pretty, then that is all that is needed. So long as you are by my side, I am content."

The old man at the podium seemed to not pay attention to the flirting of the dom and sub in front of him and announced in a clear voice. "I Mithras Ezekiel Dominii, uncle of the bride and Prime Minister of the Valorious kingdom will now start the proceedings."

Rhyne's uncle then closed his eyes and started to radiate power, in what seemed like seconds thousands of lights left his body and started revolving around Rhyne and Hiro.

"I who is authorized by the Valorious kingdom now allow the creation of a new Link. Dominant, state your vow and your request."

Rhyne who held both of Hiro's hands in her own started to speak her terms.

"I Rhyne Fair Dominii, Vow to uphold your honor and give you both my affection and trust. As Dominant I grant the Argus spouse rank's title to you Hiroyuki Mitsurugi to be my husband until death does us part or our trust be broken. All I request is for you to give your all in defending me and my harem."

At her words, a status screen appeared in Hiro's vision that presents what she just spoke in writing.

- Alert: You are about to enter the Starfall battle harem under Rhyne Fair Dominii as an Arcus spouse rank Submissive. –historical

- Do you accept? YES | NO -

Hiro immediately focused on the YES option and got confirmation that the choice was acknowledged.

- Confirmed. -

The old man then continued "Now Submissive give your oath and your offering."

Hiro then spoke his simple oath. "I Hiroyuki Mitsurugi, vow to defend your honor and uphold your trust. I will work to gain your favor and affection and be the strongest sword for your safety and the enforcer of your will."

- Please choose the Offering for your Dominant (Rhyne Fair Dominii) –

- Warning: The Offering is a percentage of the Submissive's power based on available attributes. Once accepted, the stat percentage cannot be revoked by the Submissive. If the Link is destroyed willingly or unwillingly. The stats cannot be recovered. –

-Warning: Offerings above 25% will cause harm to the Submissives once the Link is broken and are irreversible. –

- Proceed? YES | NO –

'Well, that's new... Rhyne never said that the offerings can actually mess you up if you get NTRd or evicted. But will I get looked down on if I only gave a small part? Will I get benefits If I make it higher? Well, we are already here anyway. Why bother doubting now?'

Hiro then chose YES and was presented with another screen with a slider that controlled the percentage. The slider currently set at 10% the lowest follower rank.

- Alert: Please indicate the percentage of Offering –

- Alert: Offering Rank table. –

=100% - Enslaved

>90% - Captive

>75% - Junkie

>50% - Affectionate

>25% - Servant

>10% - Follower

'If above 25% already harms you if you get kicked, then what the hell would happen if you chose Enslaved?'

Rhyne who felt the uneasiness of Hiro grasped his hands tighter, the upper part of her face was hidden due to the veil but from her lips, Hiro could see the smile on her face, the crown princess then spoke more words of affirmation in a gentle tone.

"Do not worry about the others, I gave you my trust by making you my husband. Only my words should matter, don't let anyone else sway you. The greatest sincerity a dominant can receive is a submissive's offering. So choose which one you feel comfortable with."

When Hiro heard her words he remembered how supportive she was despite him not having much to offer. 'If someone is willing to go that far for me, then It only makes sense to repay it back in full and some more.'

- Alert: Please indicate the percentage of Offering –

Hiro then used his eyes to pull the slider all the way to the right.

- Alert: Offering Percentage set to 100% Rank Enslaved –

- Alert: Confirm with offering: Enslaved –

- Warning: The Enslaved rank grants the Dominant everything the Submissive has to offer and shows the greatest trust, should the link be broken Hiroyuki Mitsurugi will die due to stat deprivation. -

- Confirm? YES | NO –

'..Holy shit, so you I will die If she kicks me out? am I really sure about this? can't I just reduce it a little?'

As Hiro pondered, the brief moments he had with Rhyne all played like a video.
