The law of Fiction: Harem in the fiction world



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

When Zadkiel first heard the rumor, it felt like it came out of nowhere. The queen had been fine one day and everyone was freaked out the next day, saying how the queen was dying and her illness had ‘finally’ caught up to her.

He did not know why everyone behaved as if this was something that had been going on for a long time now and he was too afraid to ask at this point. Especially when everyone gave him blank and unhelpful looks in return.

Suddenly, the palace had turned a little hostile to him and Zadkiel had no idea why. He had to send a letter to Yohan to confirm if this was even real or not.

Thankfully, Yohan came to visit him the very next day with a gift in his hand. It finally relaxed Zadkiel when he noticed Yohan’s attitude not having changed and he quickly asked the servants to disperse.

Many of the guards who had been friendly with him before seemed to have turned hostile over the night. They looked at Zadkiel as if he was an intruder in their home.

“Yohan, what do you think is going on? This situation is not normal, right? These guards had no interest in Freshia Wells until yesterday but it seemed as if they are blaming me for not being Freshia today. It is making me nervous.”

Zadkiel had a reason for feeling uncomfortable. He did not have anyone who could confirm for him what had happened.

Thankfully, Yohan was here to tell him what was going on around him and why things did not make sense.

Zadkiel heard Yohan speak without disturbing Yohan. But the second Yohan was done, Zadkiel started asking his questions. And by God, he had a lot of them prepared right now.

“Are you sure the time reversed? And now Freshia Wells’ soul has been taken over by someone else? Then why did she not hold on to the queen harder? Why allow the queen to fall into my hand? I just do not understand what that woman was thinking about.”

Well, neither did Yohan. But he doubted that Freshia was thinking of much, to begin with. The new Freshia was not any more impressive than the previous one Yohan knew. He did not have enough expectations of her.

“I don’t think she knows what she is doing, to be honest. She is a little clumsy and has no idea what she is doing. But somehow, things seemed to be working out for her anyway.”

Yohan only needed to hint at what he was saying for Zadkiel to catch up to his thought process. Zadkiel hissed as soon as he heard what Yohan had said.

“Ouch, I see. So, she has the protection of the realm key this time? No wonder the queen has been getting increasingly powerless. It seems like the realm key is changing its host naturally. In that case, now is the right time to strike.”

Usually, the realm key’s rule was uncontested and no one could deny it. But when the realm key started the process of changing its hosts, the rule became a little hazy and disoriented. It was the only time one could challenge it.

In most cases, it was a crisis big enough to end the world. But this was a demon world where people had enough power to maintain law and order. It seemed as if this world would be alright.

Not that the realm key would be allowed to change its host as it wanted to. Keith was going to join this race as well and he was going to take the realm key for himself. He had enough power to make it happen as well.

“In that case, you should meet the queen to have a chance to touch the realm key. I shall arrange a meeting for you with the ‘real’ queen now.”

Zadkiel proved once again why he was the best helper Yohan could ask for. He understood what Yohan needed and had the means to achieve the end goal.

“Yes, please. It is time to finally begin the last part of our plan. The royal palace is about to fall any day now and I want to ensure my claim before that.”

After all, it would not be long before Freshia joined the rebels and attack this palace. Yohan wanted to gain control over the realm key before that so he could surprise Freshia.

Chosen by the realm key or not, Yohan had much more experience operating the realm key so he was sure he would be able to hold on to it.

‘Freshia, you are in for a surprise of your lifetime. I hope you enjoy my gift to you.’

…………………….

Freshia sneaked out of the Abstel mansion with quiet footsteps. She did not want Rui to know where she was going since it would hinder her plans.

Freshia had already made contact with the rebels and freed them from Huye’s control. In return, they had agreed to help her out in her mission for revenge.

The one most helpful to her was the little goddess. The goddess was powerful and beautiful but she was also someone Freshia looked up to. The little goddess had been her guide thus far, helping Freshia learn and control the powers without herself.

In return, all the little goddess had asked for was to be provided with a trading route once Freshia because the queen. It was easy enough to do for her.

“Little goddess, I am here for you. Are you ready for our next lesson?”

Freshia asked as she entered the room. She ignored Huye who sat in the corner with a sullen expression. Huye was abandoned by her other lovers and was now nothing more than a sullen woman.

Revenge felt sweet in Freshia’s mouth but it was not enough. She needed more and she needed to see the queen kneel in front of her to feel satisfied right now.

“For our next lesson? Why don’t we take this lesson to the palace? Now it is time for us to attack and claim what is yours.”
