All nine women above are the brides of one man.
Knives Windsor.
Born in Japan of mixed British-Japanese descent, the 21-year-old currently serves as the acting commander of the Japanese Army with the rank of Brigadier General.
Brigadier Knives Windsor is a person who became a hot topic by subduing the criminals with his bare hands in the ‘Rune Academy Terror Incident’, which occurred at the same time as the previous attempted assassination of the next prime minister, Ichiro Mizuki.
According to the “Special Act on Training Rune Holders,” Also known as the “Special Act on Harem,” Passed this time, the higher the rank in the Japanese military, the more wives one can have. Captain rank can have up to 2 wives, Major rank has 3 wives, Colonel rank has 5 wives, and General rank is unlimited.
In response, the acting commander of Naives Windsor, who is a general with the rank of brigadier general, has no limit on the number of his wives, so he married nine wives at the same time.
There is a hot debate on the pros and cons of this ‘harem wedding’ in all walks of life.
Opinions from the opposing side say, “They are collecting women like collectibles,” “They are increasing women at will with money and power,” “It is inhumane,” And “This is something that cannot happen in developed countries in the 21st century.” They are claiming this.
On the other hand, some view the harem wedding of Brigadier Knives Windsor as a turning point in the era.
Professor Akira Murasaki of Kyoto University, a Nobel laureate who has consistently advocated the theory that Japan is on the verge of extinction due to the decline in the birth rate of rune holders, expressed his strong support for this harem wedding. It could be a turning point to resolve the deformed Japanese rune holder gender imbalance and reverse the decline in birth rates, which was thought to be irreversible.
However, he said that this wedding is just the beginning, and how it will affect fertility rates in the future will depend on the actions of Brigadier General Knives Windsor and his family. If this experimental marriage succeeds and sets an example for other rune holders, it can have a positive impact on the fertility rate that has fallen into the abyss. He also insisted that the entire nation should cheer for this family to have a successful marriage.]
“Okay. However, there are names familiar to us on the list of brides for this wedding. Is Kyoko Mizuki, the only daughter of Prime Minister Ichiro Mizuki, one of the bridesmaids at this wedding?”
[Yes, it is. Prime Minister Ichiro Mizuki’s daughter, Kyoko Mizuki, is also one of the nine brides.]
“That means that this wedding is also officially recognized by the Japanese Prime Minister, can we view it that way?”
[That’s right. Although this 1:9 wedding may be difficult to accept in terms of social norms, it must be accepted for the sake of Japan’s future. Experts analyze that Prime Minister Mizuki claimed so by marrying his daughter like this. Above all, since the originator of this special law is the prime minister himself, there is also a view that the prime minister himself offered his daughter as a sacrifice to prove the legitimacy of the law.]
“Okay. However, it is known that not only Japanese Prime Minister Ichiro Mizuki but also Emperor Masahito attended the wedding this time.”
[Yes, it is. Sana Kurosaki, who appears at the top of the list of brides, is actually Sana Hime, who was once famous as a beautiful princess 20 years ago. Sana Hime, who had previously married Hiroto Kurosaki and acquired the surname Kurosaki, had remarried, this time to Brigadier General Naives Windsor. By the way, Hiroto Kurosaki participated in the Great Disaster and was killed.]
“That… Then what about Yuuki Kurosaki and Hina Kurosaki? Aren’t those two the daughters of Mr. Sana by any chance?”
[That’s right. Kurosaki Sana, Yuuki, and Hina, these three are mother and daughter.]
“So you’re saying that Brigadier Naives Windsor married his mother, Sana Kurosaki, and her two daughters, Yuuki and Hina, all at once?”
[That’s right. There was a lot of talk about this too. First, let’s listen to the interview with Brigadier General Knives Windsor.]
“Yes. Sana Kurosaki’s rune is the “Recovery Rune”. The recovery rune is simply the ability to restore injured people. It is no coincidence that these abilities descended upon Sana, the daughter of His Majesty the Emperor. It is Heaven’s will to save more subjects.
I’ve seen with my own eyes a single medic with the same rune as Sana’s during a major disaster, saving thousands of wounded lives. One of my brides right here, Lieutenant Colonel Sakura. One person capable of the recovery rune, such as Lieutenant Colonel Sakura, can save a thousand wounded soldiers. These people are God’s gift to Japan.
The veins of these recovery runes must never be severed. As the Acting Commander of the Japanese Army, in order to make the Japanese Army stronger, in order to save more wounded even one person, I will give birth to more Recovery Runes. So, we will make the strongest Japanese army where no one dies!
Even if I have any accusations! If this road I am taking can save even one wounded soldier, I will never give up! Even for my comrades who died helplessly, I will bring the wounded back to life!
… What? Treating a bride as a baby-making factory? Shut up! The factory is where I make babies! I have nine priests to be responsible for!”
“… I hear you. However, if you listen to the interview, it feels like you are getting married just because of the bride’s rune ability. What is the reaction of the bride?”
[Yes. Unfortunately, I was unable to interview the bride’s side. However, the brides were laughing happily throughout the wedding ceremony, and Sana Hime was also caught laughing and talking with other brides.]
“The priests are also not forced to marry. But what about mothers and daughters marrying the same man at the same time? Were there any legal problems?”
[Yes. It’s also a complicated story. Originally, the law on marriage was made on the premise of 1:1 marriage. So, of course, there was no rule like ‘You must not marry at the same time as other family members’. That is, with the creation of the special law on fostering rune holders this time, the restriction of 1:1 marriage was lifted. Of course, there was no clause saying that you should not marry another family member here.]
“Okay. So, can it be considered a legal marriage now?”
[That’s right. It is highly likely that the law will be amended with this wedding as an opportunity, but it is not impossible for mothers and daughters to marry the same man at the same time.]
“Well sir… And I heard that there was a special guest from England at this wedding?”
[Yes. Britain’s Queen Elizabeth III also secretly attended the wedding. There is also an analysis that Emperor Masahito attended this wedding not because of Sana Hime, but to entertain Queen Elizabeth.]
“How did Queen Elizabeth of England come to this wedding?”
[Yes. Brigadier General Knives Windsor’s father, Oscar Windsor, was known as Queen Elizabeth’s third son. That is, Brigadier General Knives Windsor is the grandson of Queen Elizabeth. Next, listen to Queen Elizabeth’s wedding speech.]
“As you all may know, my son, Prince Oscar, chose to follow his heart and renounce his royal status to be with the woman he loves. Although he has left the royal life behind, his son his, my grandson Knives, remains part of our family.”
(My son, Prince Oscar, became Japanese, giving up his royal status to be with the woman he loved. Even if he left his royal life behind, that doesn’t change the fact that his son, Knives, is a member of our family.)
“With that in mind, I would like to officially recognize Knives as a member of the British Royal Family and bestow upon him the title of Duke. May his life be filled with love, happiness, and prosperity. Cheers to the newlyweds!”
(Therefore, I hereby promise to officially recognize Knives as a member of the British Royal Family and bestow the title of duke on him. I wish him love, happiness, and prosperity in his life. Cheers to the newlyweds!)
“Now, listening to Queen Elizabeth, it sounds like Brigadier General Knives Windsor is claiming to be British, not Japanese?”
[That’s right. Britain’s Queen Elizabeth, who attended the wedding, said she would accept Brigadier General Knives Windsor as a member of the British royal family and at the same time make her a British duke. Regarding this, it is getting a favorable response as support for Brigadier General Knives Windsor, a ‘Japanese’.
However, it is true that some say that they are trying to naturalize Brigadier Naives Windsor to England. It is said that he is not the UK’s trick to steal important Japanese talent.
Brigadier General Knives Windsor was known as the number one contributor to the Japanese military in ending the great disaster 11 years ago. At the time, Brigadier General Naives Windsor was only 10 years old, and he said that his talent and devotion to his country were invaluable. Some are keenly aware that such a shining jewel of Japan, Brigadier General Knives Windsor, might be taken away by the British.]
“Okay. What else did Queen Elizabeth say?”
[We need to introduce Japan’s advanced marriage culture to England. I hope that Knives Windsor, the grandson of the Queen, will become a bridge between England and Japan. I also told my grandson, ‘There are many beautiful women in England, so come visit anytime.’ .]
“Okay… I’m getting more and more anxious. First of all, let’s continue the story after the advertisement. Let’s see the commercial.”
