Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 298 Blood and Saliva

Rudy could taste his own blood through Nyxiaʼs mouth, and Nyxia was tasting hers. After a pleasing kiss, their lips parted, and their eyes met.

They stared into each otherʼs eyes as though that was the only thing that mattered and existed in the world.

Nyxia smiled with a flushed face and muttered, ”You donʼt seem to mind it.”

”Obviously. Who wouldnʼt want to be kissed by a hot girl like you?” Rudy replied with a grin.

Nyxia squinted her eyes and uttered, ”Who was it that was questioning my character in the royal bathhouse?”

”Certainly not me.”

Nyxia moved her hands to Rudyʼs face and held it carefully. She caressed his face with her cold hands and rubbed her thumbs on her cheeks while gazing into his eyes with a gentle smile on her face.

”I might have been charmed by you,” he said calmly.

”Oh? I donʼt think so. I would know if you were charmed by you. I could order you, control you, use you. But thatʼs not happening.”

”I didnʼt mean it that way, but yeah. I wouldnʼt mind doing anything for you, as long as it doesnʼt affect my relationship with other girls.”

Nyxia played with Rudyʼs ears with her fingers while rubbing her thumb on his cheeks.

”Maybe… itʼs me who is charmed by you… darling~”

Rudy chuckled after hearing that and muttered, ”Do you love me?”

”I would rather not answer that question. We only kissed, so donʼt get your hopes high.”

”Oh? And here I thought I got one more vampire in my harem,” Rudy remarked with a grin on his face.

”Donʼt get so cocky.” Nyxia pulled Rudyʼs cheek and said, ”I am not an easy girl. You will have to work hard to have me as your lover.”

”I thought you were already madly in love with me. I guess I shouldnʼt have let you kiss me and left you desperate. Only then you would realize how much you need me.”

”You do realize that I am thousands of years older than you, right?”

”Of course.”

”I have met all types of people and experienced a million types of feelings in my entire life. If you think that I would give into mere desperation or temptation, then you are wrong. I am used to such things, and to be honest, I had forgotten all that.”

She smiled wryly at him and said, ”Thank you for reminding me that I can still live and enjoy my life.”

”Is that a yes to join my harem?” Rudy asked curiously.

”No.” Nyxia played with Rudyʼs face without caring for anything and said, ”I wonʼt join you harem unless you have managed to learn your powers fully.”

”Thatʼs a tough condition.”

”Hmm~?” Nyxia hummed in amusement and uttered, ”How about convincing Glorias and Jane about accepting me in your harem.”

”Challenge accepted, but it will take time. I will first have to convince Rias to join my harem,” he scoffed softly and sighed. ”I am anxious, not going to lie.”

”I visited Glorias this morning. She should wake up in less than a day, so you better plan your speech to convince her.”

”I have already done that. I also have a backup plan in case of my original plan. And I have more backup plans if the backup plan fails. Letʼs hope that one of those plans works, or I might be in trouble.”

”Is that your biggest fear?” Nyxia asked curiously.

”Not really, but I am indeed worried about how Rias might react after finding out that I slept with her twin sister and kissed her great grandmother.”

”Can I ask what is your biggest fear, or rather, what are you anxious about the most in your life?”

Nyxiaʼs face was brimming with curiosity.

”Telling my mom about my powers. Actually, thatʼs not a big deal, but I have no idea how I am going to tell her about my harem. To her, I am still her innocent high school boy who studies all day without thinking or caring for any worldly matters. But I am far from her ideal son.

However, I intend to tell her everything once I go back to the human world. You might not believe me, but I never intended to keep it a secret from her. She is the only person I would never want to deceive or lie to.”

Nyxia raised her brow with a judging look on her face and uttered, ”The way you talk about your mother makes you look like you have something for her.”

”Hmm?”

”Like… you love her…” Nyxia averted her gaze while saying that.

”Duh! Obviously, I love her. Every son loves his parents,” he shrugged.

”I meant… romantically…”

”What the—!” Rudy took a deep breath and uttered, ”What are you even saying?!”

Nyxia said something even Angelica would never dare to speak.

”It just looked like it. I may be wrong.”

”No, no. You are obviously wrong!” He retorted with a frowned face. ”Please donʼt question my relationship with her. If it was someone else who told me that, I would have gotten so angry, you have no idea. But because of my respect and admiration for you, I somehow managed to stay calm.”

”I apologize if I offended you. It simply seemed like that to me, so I thought I should mention it. I even thought you already had that kind of reaction with her, but okay. I wonʼt ever mention anything related to your mother again.”

”Thank you.”

Nyxia bit her lips as she ruined the romantic atmosphere they had around them.

”Oh!” Rudy suddenly exclaimed as he recalled what Nyxia had told him in the royal hall. He moved his hands to her breasts and squeezed them as he asked:

”What do you mean by Jane and I are married?”

”You two got married.”

”I seriously donʼt remember doing that. But by the looks of it, it seems that when we had sex, it triggered some kind of mating ritual?”

Nyxia furrowed her brows and said, ”How do you guess everything correctly?!”

Rudy shrugged his shoulders and said, ”I catch on the clues and connect them with various possibilities before narrowing them down as guesses.”

”It is indeed what you said. Did Jane drink your blood while being connected to you and sitting in a similar position as us?” Nyxia asked with a knowing look on her face.

”Yes. And she even wrapped her arms around my body, if that also counts.”

”There you have it.”
