Chapter 185

“What is going on here?”

I turned to the sound of the voice to see two women. I recognized them as the ones who Lady Nifra put in charge. They walked into the garden, flanked by guards.

“Oh my goodness! Blair!” One of them shouted and rushed to Blair. The other one followed behind her.

“You!” They turned to me. “What did you do?! This was all your fault, wasn’t it?”

I gently pushed the girls who surrounded me to the side and stepped forward. “Me? What did I do?”

“Don’t play coy! You used a disgusting trick in Blair and these guards here! What was it, huh?! You’re not going to talk?!”

I folded my arms calmly and stared at them. “You lot are not only siding Blair, you’re ignoring your duties and acting like little obedient puppies. You have turned a blind eye to the suffering of this harem, and I am going to put an end to that.”

The burst out laughing. “That is nonsense,”

“You were but a slave here, have you forgotten?”

“Cleaning up after us, obeying every command because that was all you could do. Have you forgotten, slave?”

I opened my mouth to reply and then paused.

Come to think of it, it’s no use exchanging any word with them. They aren’t listening, and it’s clear they’re here for something.

I looked at Blair who looked passed out on the ground and back at the women.

“I see what is going on here,” I said with a slow nod. “Are you all doing this because you want to get special treatment when the king makes Blair his Luna? Is that it, huh?”

“And?” One of them spat and folded her hands. “What is wrong with it? A little ambition never killed anyone.”

“And you should start making peace with us if you want to have a happy life after this.”

“That’s right. Go on your knees, and we’ll leave. Else, you will be responsible for the girls suffering. I’m sure you’ll like that, right?”

Murmurs rose from the girls surrounding me.

I turned to leave, only for the guards to rush up to me and grab my arms. I
