Lackey's Seducing Survival Odyssey

Chapter 1284: That thing... is not what you think it is. He is a H—

While Aether was being tested and horrified by Xara’s involvement with blood... meanwhile, in one of the rooms in the palace, Nyx blankly stared at the women who sat before her on the bed with a haughty expression.

The room felt colder than it should, as if the walls themselves waited to see what judgment would fall on her.

Nyx wasn’t sure why they were acting like this, but as soon as they helped her settle down, they had been staring at her with curious and judging eyes.

Nyx glanced at Nightfire... who, too, was standing by her side, tense, staring back at those girls as if waiting for a blow to land.

’Are they going to bully me?’ Nightfire thought with a trembling expression, ’Is this what they call bullying of the new wives? Trying to mark new territory? Are they trying to strip us down and measure us... to show who stands higher in this strange gathering?’ Her mind reeled with countless thoughts and questions as her legs nervously rubbed against the ground.

Selene, Raven, Thalia... even Emberlyn was staring at the two women, their eyes sharp, calculating. Lyirrs was there too, though she stood a little over by the door, pretending to watch the hallway, making sure to warn them just in case Victor appeared.

But even so, Lyirrs could not resist glancing back, her eyes flicking over the newcomers with curiosity, wondering what role these two were meant to play... and whether they would survive the storm of eyes burning into them.

After the heavy silence, Thalia was the first one to break it, ”Who is the pervert?!”

Selene and Raven blinked at Thalia... even Nyx and Nightfire blinked, unsure if they had heard correctly.

”What the heck are you asking?” Selene asked with a frown.

Thalia only nodded, certain, leaning forward as if to corner them further, ”I know...” Her gaze narrowed, gleaming with challenge as she turned to Nyx and Nightfire, repeating, ”Who is the pervert?”

Nyx and Nightfire exchanged a glance, their hearts twisting with unease.

What the hell was she talking about?

Pervert?

Why that word?

What hidden game was she playing?

Who could it be?

Nyx, like an obedient woman, answered quietly, ”I don’t know,” her voice soft, careful, as if she were trying to stay low for the time being.

Meanwhile, Nightfire clenched her fist, rage crawling under her skin. ’Are they concerning me? Because I am a succubus?’ she thought bitterly, gritting her teeth so hard her jaw ached.

No! She could not allow them to bully her!

Otherwise, her sister would too suffer from these bitches!!

She needed to step up her game!

Otherwise, she would be lost here, swallowed whole by their mocking gazes!

Nightfire lifted her chin, eyes blazing, and said with a proud expression that dared them to laugh, ”Though I am a half-succubus, if anything here is perverted then... It’s absolutely that bastard!!”

She was so proud of her answer. After all, if she called Aether a pervert before others, it would show them just how close they were, how she alone could speak of him that way. It would prove the bond they shared... and more than that, it would show the hidden power she had over Aether.

Looking at Thalia’s shocked expression, Nightfire smirked. Her idea was working. Grinning, she added, ”Even if I call him, he would accept it... That’s how close we are~”

Her assertion of dominance had begun, and soon, in this harem, she was going to be the Queen.

She would control every rival woman and take Aether’s cock for herself alone!!

Hahahaha!!! HAHAHA!!

HMPH!

Thalia blinked before pointing her fingers, lips curling into an amused grin. ”I like this one... I think we could be friends.”

”...Pardon?” Nightfire blinked, utterly lost.

Meanwhile, Raven’s sharp eyes slid toward Nyx. Something about this quiet girl made Raven curious. Nyx was there, silent, almost invisible... but the weight of her presence pressed heavily. Raven could feel it—Nyx was definitely cursing them in her heart, thinking all kinds of venomous things without letting them slip from her lips.

Selene glanced between them, realising the atmosphere was turning stranger by the minute. If this kept going, they would all sink into an awkward silence that would strangle the fragile thread holding them together. So she decided to step forward, when—

”I heard... the Emperor loves his wives equally. Haha...”

A sudden, forced laugh rang out. Everyone flinched and turned to Emberlyn, who sat with a stiff, awkward smile carved on her face.
