From the way rio said regarding polygamy (sorry if i might mistranslate some of the text from the raw), Rio not really averse the idea of having multiple wife but he prefer to love only one person. Since he just fulfill his wish of killing Lucius, he need time to sort his feeling (for those remember how he feel in vol 15).

It can be seen in his discussion between him,celia and aisha. IIRC aisha mention to celia that is not wanting to marry Rio or something along those line. At the same time, just like Celia wish to by Rio side from now on, Rio also feel the same but he became reserve about it since it also mean that celia will pass her chance to get married. Celia told to Rio that she is fine with not getting married (IIRC she almost confessed that she loved Rio but didnt said it in the end).Rio also postphone in giving Latifa an answer for her confession in chapter 7 (the messy tea party).

Chapter 7 i quite long chapter indeed. During the tea party, Rio is preparing lunch for the girl under request from princess charlotte as she is jealous that all the girls except her have taste Rio's cooking. There she discuss with the girls regarding how everyone feel about Rio, which Latifa answer that she wish to be by Rio side forever. Princess Charlotte ask whether Latifa mean as his sister which Latifa answer both as his sister and as a women. Then Aisha also give the same answer that she will forever be by Rio side.

Charlotte then ask the other girls but there was no answer but it could be seen from their reaction (IIRC Flora and Celia having the most easily read reaction). Here, we could see Miharu inner monologue. She could see that everyone there really love Rio, but she feel the same and at the same time she dont want to give Rio to other and decide she should be proactive and not just waiting (IIRC her monologue mean that she think that she should have the courage to confess to rio). During those tea party, charlotte reveal the purpose of the gathering and and it involve about Rio having multiple wives. Couple volume ago, Satsuki is really averse to having a marriage since she still wish to return to earth, but in this volume we can see that she start to settle in with probability of not able to return. It seem she wouldnt mind if her partner is Rio but since she know Rio and Miharu past relation, she said that its all fall to Rio decision of having multiple wife. Christina then answer that Rio doesnt wish to have multiple wives where Charlotte? ask the reason and Christina reply she wouldn't answer without Rio agreement. From there where will be back and forth in matter of polygamy and Rio preference. In the end, Charlotte suggest a plan of having groups meeting and having chat with Rio by turn and ask about Rio preference, and all the girls join.

The first group meeting with Rio is Satsuki, Christina and Flora. They ask Rio about the what kind of girl Rio like, whether she is a quiet or noisy type, good in cooking or not. Rio answer vaguely but he explain that he himself is a quiet person, and dont mind if the partner doesnt feel the need to push themselve to make him feel good with conversation (unlike hiroaki), he also dont mind if the girl dont know how to cook. During the conversation christina said something along the line that people wont see her as normal girl, which Rio answer that she look as a normal girl to him making christina & flora blush. Satsuki get irritate with Rio saying some gigolo like line with straight face (well, rio is natural blockhead)
