Extra's Harem: Invincibility Starts with Marriage and lots of Children-Chapter 36 - A Flaw

Or at least it felt that way.

Swoosh.

It was a sensation where I clearly felt my neck being sliced by Olea’s sword.

An energy burst with pure killing intent rushed from her.

It was enough to raise the room temperature, and since she was within the range of my domain, I could visibly see how the intensity of her killing intent had just caused me to reflexively react by even thinking for a moment to kill her.

Forcing me to compose myself first.

It was natural for Olea to show such killing intent after hearing that the name of the place I told her to go was exactly where her parents had died.

But all I could think presently was that place which probably held more importance to her than killing me.

However, feeling the killing intent that intense from Olea and my body’s flinch, Princess also surged out her energy—directed towards Olea with the same malice intensity—to nullify both of theirs and save me from this suffocation.

I could at least see how the princess wouldn’t let anything happen to me until our wedding.

Though now, I needed to tackle the situation as I slowly stood and turned towards Olea.

The temperature of the room was rising, and I could clearly see the formation of purple crystals near her hands and clothing.

This showed how emotionally unstable she was becoming due to anger.

Yet, I could also sense how the princess stood from her seat, her eyes clearly showing the same level of killing intent directed at Olea, crossing and canceling out hers.

It made me feel nothing unusual given I had expected the princess to go this far to protect me and also for Olea to react in this way when she would know about her parent’s death place.

But to make sure things were in order for the long term, I moved closer to Olea, clearly hearing how the princess herself was approaching from behind at the same pace as me.

Clearly vigilant due to Olea’s reaction while canceling out her killing intent, which probably would have made a mortal like me feel suffocation and visible fear.

Without hesitation, I made my way towards Olea, arriving before her.

I raised my hand with a weak expression, trying to act as genuine as possible.

Eyes slightly worrying as I placed it on her hand which was gripping the sword held tightly, adding, "I would have followed you, if not for that place being the one where my mother was murdered."

’!?’

"W-what?"

It was instant where that cold wall building between both me and Olea broke.

As her lips parted through the mask, eyes which were cold showed a flicker of confusion hearing my declaration.

Which definitely was a lie, but to make needed to gain some sympathy to score some points with her.

After all, it was a human tendency to start feeling a connection with others if they are in a similar situation.

"Haa, I shouldn’t have mentioned it here but still, yes, my mother was cheated on by my father and killed at the hands of my stepmother.

Not like anyone is going to believe this, haha," I chuckled, scratching my cheek with one finger.

Turning as though an awkward expression, clearly knowing how it would probably be the hardest thing for these people to believe.

Searching how it was known to everyone how Duke Arcutus genuinely loved his previous wife—at least him killing her was unbelievable.

Evident from how even after being banished from the main territory, the stepson was bestowed upon a good and high-quality estate of his unlike barren ones which normally one expected for such cases.

Given due to the effect of demonic possession which slowly possessed his mind completely, Head of Arcutus family, having a bit of sense back then, went against that stepmother’s decisions and bestowed upon this territory to Kyle.

But it was just that and not much.

After all, soon enough that he had declared him his illegitimate son, clarifying that Duke’s real wife was present mistress and had no relation with Kyle’s real mother—showing how he was fully corrupted now without a speck of mercy.

As everyone was aware of the fact that once someone from an aristocracy was declared illegitimate, they naturally lose the support from the main family.

And given this fact, they became easy targets of enemies who do not fear any retaliation from the main family to attempt assassination at them.

Given the illegitimate status, it already deprived one of any reinforcements or backing up.

So, the present Duke doesn’t have any feelings for his once cherished son now illegitimate leading me to use Kyle’s mother’s death as an excuse here to bend the truth to my advantage.

"Not many know this but my mother was murdered," I again repeated, seeing how bland Olea’s state was.

Turning towards the princess, who also seemed to stand there with hands folded, trying to see through my lies.

Unlike Olea, I felt as though the princess was having a hard time believing my words.

But it was expected, considering she, unlike Olea, thought purely from the brain rather than trusting her heart.

Not that I needed to make her believe.

"Then why not you took revenge?"

And as expected, Olea finally uttered words from her heart, making the princess look at her with the eyes which just saw how Olea revealed her weakness to me.

I could feel how the princess’s attention for now was settled towards the conversation between me and Olea rather than interrupting given her quiet stance.

Narrowed eyes as she saw Olea flowing in her emotions and revealing her biggest flaw—emotional weakness when it comes to revenge and hatred towards her parents’ killers.

"Because, I fear dying," I uttered what it truly was in my heart.

I really feared this.

’....’

’....’

Both of them were silent, listening to me, or mostly they needed to listen, given they could not do anything except it.

After all, their once prey was now showing a very tragic side of him.

A side which both of these women would probably be aware of given their past backstories filled with tragedy.
