Seated in his room, Harry looked around at all the people inside. They had all gotten back together again.
Lilly was seated beside him, Emma was there, and Valeria was also there. But alongside them, Anna and his new adopted kids were also here.
Harry then focused on Anna and the kids, then said, "Tell me everything you noticed and heard today, Did you find anything suspicious among all of them? Anything at all should be mentioned."
The Kids looked at each other and then began narrating all the audience reactions in the seating area that they noticed.
And Anna just looked at all of the people there a bit uncomfortably. It was quite stressful for her to be seated here, especially since she was no longer a maid but someone whom Harry had acknowledged as a Prince's Wife. Not even a concubine but a wife.
Of course, he hadn't declared that out loud, but her dressing today in the duel was loud enough for perceptive people to notice she was much more than a mere maid.
And since she was seated here without a sense of alienation, it meant he really meant what he said before going into a coma. He was ready to take her as his wife.
But that didn't mean it wasn't awkward for her.
She knew Lilly didn't like her as a matter of fact. She also knew Lilly hated almost every woman who tried to go closer to Harry too.
She was cursing Sophia and the other pajama-wearing women in the audience seats almost half of the entire battle. They were trying to get into her brother's bed after all!
But still, it was intriguing how she appeared so meek infront of Harry all the time and never cursed one of his women. She was even quite nice to her now.
And she even allowed him to have all the women he wanted with that attitude of hers.
'Maybe they have some kind of agreement with each other?' Anna wondered. She felt as if there was a wide chasm between her and Lilly.
'How weird,' she shook her head inside and focused on the current matter.
She had been told to check all of the people's reactions while everything happened and she had a list to elaborate on, so She listened to the kids as she waited.
"And then there was the moment you got the pin in your throat, many people cringed at it but some of them were unphased. I think those people are fine with pain."
"A very good little detail. What else?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"After that, it was quite usual, nothing much happened and then these unique people came in alongside uhm..." Raina hesitated, but then pointed at Valeria and said, "This aunt, she used some type of Gift to make all of the others forget many things."
It didn't even affect those people badly.
Harry frowned and asked Valeria, "What is this about?"
Valeria looked at him with a wide smile, "Nothing boy, just those 4 old coots who were too stunned by the appearance of a Blasphemous Child in our family."
Harry chuckled. Well, the women among them were already his, he just had to visit them in their bedrooms now.
Hmm, I wonder how those pussies would feel.
"But didn't your Gift hurt others when you absorbed their abilities?"
"No? That is if I turn their memories into Mud Biscuits for others to eat and get their memories. If I just want to play with theirs, it's fine."
Other than Harry's immediate family, everyone in the room shivered slightly. She was too casual with such words!
"Okay then Anna, your turn." Harry looked at Anna with a different smile on his face.
Lilly looked at the face and secretly glared at him.
Emma on the other side was silent the whole time and just kept listening, she wanted to find out who dared to poison him all those days ago too.
Anna cleared her throat. She was a silent person, but she had no problem with completing missions.
"As little Raina and Rome had already explained, most of the audience had natural reactions but I noticed some especially weird reactions."
All of them looked at her with intrigued faces.
"For one, it was the Monkey Prince's Monkey, some princesses and princes seem to be constantly looking at it in anger, fear, or even hatred. I could hear some of them clenching their hands tightly."
Her Enhanced Senses even caught someone grinding their teeth!
"That Monkey?" Harry pondered on those reactions a bit seriously.
The princesses seemed to hate the Monkey Prince guy too.
Even though Hugh was smitten with Lilly, there was no reason for such flimsy women who sold their souls to Harry without much effort – they were bound to him now – to hate that prince.
Maybe he did something big behind the scenes?
Did the Monkey have some kind of specialty?
"Anything else?"
"Yes, Monkey was not the highlight of the day after all," Anna said seriously.
The room turned silent for a brief moment before Anna continued, "There was a moment in between the fight when Princess Lilly swore to kill the First Prince in anger. It was quite mutely said, even my senses only briefly picked it up."
"Then?"
"Then, among the concubines, someone stopped rapping their finger on the seat exactly at that moment."
"What do you mean exactly?"
"This person I am talking about is the red-haired concubine if you don't remember exactly. She has a son and a daughter. And I checked the records and know that her Gift is a fire type."
"Why are you so focused on this particular concubine?"
"From the start of the duel, she had no eyes on the First Prince and always focused on you. Even when he was certainly putting up a great fight. It was as if she was sure you would have some kind of way to win and was wondering what it is and waiting anxiously to see it!"
Harry silently pondered on it and looked towards Emma. "Mom, what is this red hair's name?"
"Seraphina Lust Vincias, born with the Gift of fire, my half-sister in a very messed up family ladder. 8th concubine in name, even lower than me in an authority list that no one ever cared about."
"She has a very... Chaotic personality, sometimes, she is the kindest woman around, and sometimes she might just be the one who burns maids for fun. She is a weird creature. But the weird part is, both sides of her are equal extremes. Once when she felt kind, she had even cut her own fingers off to feed an animal."
The strange silence started to creep in again.
"But she has no reason to poison me."
Emma didn't have anything else to say, even though she hated and feared that women, she didn't think she would take all the trouble to somehow poison Harry.
Who was a known Null till then!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmValeria though, had a different opinion. "Her actions always have one thing in common, she is showy, she is like fire. If it burns, it lights. I don't think she is the type to actually covertly attempt assassinations."
Harry silently thought about it and then sighed calmly. "We don't have to think so much, I might be able to understand a part of the reason after I bed her. So when I am free, I will give her a visit."
That Aunt of his seemed quite interesting anyway.
A chaotic beauty.
"Okay then Anna, have you felt anything else?"
"There were some women who seemed interested in your body. Most women had starry eyes at your appearance alongside Princess Lilly."
Lilly smiled thinking about that entry. It was quite a heart-pounding experience.
"Anything more?"
Anna thought of everything and then finally added, "Nothing more than that but there was this sensation of being seen all of the time when I was in that place. As if someone was looking at us, but I guess that is the King and Queen watching the duel using some method from inside the throne room."
Harry wrapped his fingers together and once again fell into deep thoughts.
"So, big brother," Lilly called out, "What is our overarching plan now?"
"There are three main ideas I am now having. For one, I am quite sure the First Prince knows who poisoned me, I want to interrogate him."
That won't be much trouble anymore.
But then there was the First King. Harry was sure he would be aware of what was happening here, but how was he going to come out?
What was his agenda?
Both the First Prince and First King were a source of questions for him now, but Harry had a feeling they could be a bundle of answers.
Especially the First King. He must have a lot of Born-Dragon abilities, so he was a big enigma.
The man was as old as the Kingdom after all. He was the most dangerous piece in the game now.
And also the one Harry wanted to take down the most!
But everything will be clear with enough pussies conquered. I just need to be strong enough!
