The law of Fiction: Harem in the fiction world



“Oh, I know everything about Lady Rui before I served her so I cannot say I was disappointed. Rather, now I need to decide what I want to do to you.”

Yohan looked toward the girl in front of him. Freshia was a good chess piece but he had observed her enough to know that she was not a game-changer. She might think she was good but she lacked basic observation skills.

Between her and Rui, Yohan still preferred Rui to be the superior one. But that might change in the future depending on what Freshia does and what choices Rui makes.

“Oh, don’t worry. You just need to see if I am worth investing in or not, right? In that case, I will show you that I am the right choice all along. You just wait and watch how I get rid of the head butler.”

Yohan did not care about the head butler any longer but it would be amusing to see the head butler being bested by his pawn.

“Hmm, you will get rid of the head butler for me? In that case, you can do your best and I will watch from the side-lines. If I find you worthy enough then I will invest in you.”

Yohan assured Freshia. The poor female had not even realized that she had already lost to Yohan right now. She had recognized him as her superior and that was how Yohan knew Freshia would not amount to much.

The realm had made a mistake by choosing Freshia to be its representative.

“What a joke. Had this realm given up on its freedom? Neither the queen nor the people in it seemed to be capable. I am so lucky that Rui is one of the capable ones.”

Yohan quickly left the room to enter Rui’s. Now that he had an idea about what was happening, he wanted to know what Rui thought about all this.

The time seemed to have been rewarded for everyone but Rui’s memories about Yohan and her spell were still left intact. It meant that this world had not been able to resist the powers of other realm keys.

“Yohan, what are you doing here? Were you not out to serve Freshia? Did she annoy you to death already?”

Rui sounded board and a little jealous of Freshia. She had not wanted to share Yohan with Freshia in the first place but there had been no other choice. Freshia had chosen Yohan to be her servant.

And the role Rui was playing did not allow her to deny Freshia’s request no matter how outlandish it was.

There was also a small part of Rui that whispered in her heart to not offend Freshia. It was the same feeling the queen gave Rui so she decided to unconsciously follow it. She was not even aware of what was happening.

“Rui, what do you think about Freshia Wells? Is there something weird about her? Or is she behaving like normal?”

Rui was taken aback by Yohan’s sudden question. As far as she could remember, there was nothing wrong with Freshia and she had always been like this. But maybe Yohan knew something she did not.

“I do not know what you want me to say. I did not notice anything different about Freshia unless it was her desire not to come out. But I thought it was because she was depressed. Are you saying that it is not the case?”

Rui was not worried but she was getting concerned now. It was not often that Yohan wanted her about things. She needed to start paying attention now.

“Hmm, you should be careful of Freshia Wells since she is scheming something. She’s not careful but she might be resourceful. And I also think she’s resentful of you and the people around you.”

Yohan warned Rui and Rui was surprised at his wording. She would have brushed off Yohan’s concern had he not looked so serious while speaking. He was convinced about what he was saying.

‘Freshia! A threat? What a joke. But Yohan looks serious right now.’

It was only because of this that Rui decided to keep a tighter eye on Freshia. It was because she regarded Yohan in a positive light and trusted his insight.

“I see. If you say that Freshia has changed then I will keep an eye on her for the time being. As for the royal ball, do you think she will try and pull something off on that day?”

Rui’s concerns were valid. Yohan was not sure what Freshia was planning but it likely had something to do with the royal ball. She had been convicted in the same setting in her last life after all.

And if there was a decent stage to pull off any plans while everyone was distracted, it was the royal ball.

“I will go and try to find out what Freshia is planning. You should try to take advantage of what is going on around you. I will also contact my ‘friend’ and warn him that something is going to happen.”

Yohan was sure that whatever was going on with Freshia concerned the queen as well. And if it was something that concerned the queen, it would be something Zadkiel would know.

And besides, Yohan and Zadkiel were in the same boat now. They needed to share information anyway.

Yohan sent a letter to Zadkiel in the morning and he got a reply in the evening. He was being invited into the royal palace alone and Yohan decided to take this offer.

The next day, Yohan was ready to head into the royal palace to know more about the situation. He was escorted toward Zadkiel by the guards. They seemed much more polite and distracted than before.

Even Zadkiel had a concerned look on his face and he dismissed all the guards around him. Whatever was going on in the royal palace seemed serious enough to have everyone on their toes.

But it was not until Zadkiel came out and said what was happening that made the situation clear in Yohan’s mind.

“There is a rumor going around in the palace that the immortal queen is finally dying.”
