The law of Fiction: Harem in the fiction world



Zadkiel and Yohan were in the middle of talking when a servant came to inform Zadkiel of something. He whispered into the angel’s ear and Zadkiel’s eyes grew twice in size. It was a hushed whisper.

“Yohan, I know we were having quite a meaningful talk right now but I think it is time for you to head out now. Your mistress is waiting for you at home and you won’t want to keep her waiting for you, right?”

Yohan got the message from Zadkiel and stood up. The angel wanted Yohan to get away from the palace and there could only be one reason for that to happen.

The queen was coming here personally and now was not the time for her and Yohan to meet.

“Guards, I am tired of my guests’ presence. Please escort him out of the palace right now.”

The guards looked conflicted, wanting to follow Zadkiel’s words but hesitating to go ahead and escort Yohan out. Their hesitation was a given since the consort’s commands contradicted their queens.

But they had also been instructed to look after the consort and to head everything he told you to do. It was a tough decision for them to make.

“Sir, we cannot follow your orders. The queen ordered a lockdown and-”

“Then you don’t have to see me out. I can get out of here myself. I just need you people to not interfere in my path. I will see you later.”

Yohan stood up and walked away. Everyone was stunned at his relaxing exit before they snapped into action. They needed to stop Yohan before he could reach the gate.

“Do not move. I was the one who allowed Yohan Strout, my friend, to leave this palace. Are you doubting someone who came in here alone and without any other motivation than o visit me to be the culprit of this breakout?”

The guards tensed up, neither confirming nor denying Zadkiel’s accusations. They did not know what to think now that Zadkiel had asked this question outright.

It was true that Yohan had entered and exited the garden under watchful eyes. He could not have pulled off the escape and been here at the same time.

But they were also demons with hidden capabilities. Who knew what they could and could not do?

“Announcing, your royal highness, the queen is entering.”

Just as the guards were about to deny Zadkiel’s words, the queen entered. Her presence caused everyone to look down and accept her pressure. She was a supreme being above anyone else.

There was no longer any need to think about whose words the guards had to follow. The queen was at the top of the pecking order and anything she said was official.

“My dear consort, I was told that you had a guest. I thought I should come down here and check what it was all about. Did you make a friend?”

The queen had a relaxed air around her. She seemed unconcerned about people having broken into her castle and whisked away her prisoners. The only one she had eyes for was her consort.

Or that was what it appeared to most people. But Zadkiel could spot the hint of crazy and boredom in the queen’s eyes.

She had come here not because she wanted to see Zadkiel’s friend but to seek entertainment. She knew Zadkiel did not like to be under her command and was planning something.

“Yes, my friend did come to visit me but he just left right now. But the next time I invite him here, I will be sure to make ask you to accompany me.”

Zadkiel sounded sorry but he was not sorry. The queen was delighted to see that her consort was not happy to see her but he was making it entertaining by pretending to be.

“Hmm, in that case, I will wait for the day to come. In the meantime, why don’t we share a meal and you tell me how your day went? I’m sure there are some amusing stories for you to tell me about.”

The queen hinted for Zadkiel to speak but he was stubborn. He also kept his quiet, and that was how it was between them.

……………………..

“Lady Rui, I am back. I delivered our gift to the consort.”

Yohan was finally back home and the first place he visited was Lady Rui’s room. For some reason, it seemed like everyone was tense in the mansion. No one wanted to come out and speak about what had happened here.

“Ah, you did. Nice, you can sit down now. There is something I need to ask you about.”

Rui sounded pissed off. Since Yohan was the only person she could talk to, Rui did not bother to put up appearances in front of him.

Yohan took the offered seat, now interested in what Rui would say to him.

“So Yohan, what do you think about getting Freshia out of the way now? Since we’ve met the queen, I feel like I have figured her out and I can seduce her. We don’t need Freshia any longer, right?”

Rui sounded like she was in a mad mood. Whatever had happened between her and Freshia seemed to be causing her temper to rise.

Yohan was not averse to getting rid of Freshia but he needed to form a good story for it.

“Are you sure you want to get rid of Freshia? She is a good scrap goat for you to do things. You can always frame her for something and gain more sympathy.”

Yohan offered the advice free of cost. But Rui did not seem happy with it.

“Yeah, I can do that but Freshia is getting annoying for me to deal with. Not to mention, her friend from the lower class, that Huye lady gets on my nerves a lot. Her fake attitude is revolting for me.”

It was funny that Huye had been caught by Rui of all people. Huye had let her greed show openly and even Yohan was beginning to lose interest in her foolishness now.

“You are right. Freshia is becoming a bother now so we should get rid of her. But how about we frame her anyway but do it quickly? Hmm, maybe the death of a dear friend she was jealous of would do the trick?”

Yohan offered. He knew he was taking a risk by killing Huye as well but he had a bad feeling about Huye.

That girl was greedy and she would end up betraying Yohan if it meant it helped her out. The only reason she had not till now was because Yohan had been helping her out.

And the rebellion was not doing much for Yohan to keep them around as well. It was time to start cutting unmoving limbs from his side.

“I see. If that is what you want to do then you handle it. I need to start preparing for another ball that will be held in the royal mansion. It's the biggest ball of the year and only limited people are invited to it.”

Rui informed Yohan and he had an idea to use the ball.

‘Well, if the opportunity is there then I might as well use it, right? I need to start planning for things right now or I will not make things smooth over in time.’

Yohan had a lot to plan now and no time at all. It was time to involve other people in his planning.
