Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 864 Kingdom Come

Lilim glanced to the side of the balcony and raised her brows.

Jane immediately noticed Lilim and asked, ”Whatʼs wrong, Lilim?”

”...” Lilim didnʼt react to Janeʼs question and raised the other brow.

”Lilim?” Maria asked this time.

”I… sense something… I donʼt know what, but… itʼs terrifying. I donʼt think itʼs good.”

”I sense nothing, though?” Jane reacted. ”I donʼt want to boast, but I am the strongest in the room. There is nothing I canʼt do that others can.”

”Shut up, Jane. You are not helping. I wasnʼt talking about sensing magic or aura. Itʼs… I canʼt explain it in words. Itʼs like… looking at something and feeling certain that you shouldnʼt get involved.”

”Yeah right…” Jane scoffed with a blank expression on her face. ”I have never felt that in my life. Maybe I am just too strong to experience the feeling of being scared.”

”I donʼt like where this is going…” Maria muttered and turned to Angelica to do something.

Angelica nodded and stepped between Lilim and Jane.

”Okay, stop right there. No fighting in Rudyʼs absence. If you want to fight, you can fight all you want when Rudy is around.”

”Rudy is not our babysitter who needs to watch us all the time,” Lilim commented.

”Then act mature.”

The room felt silent as the girls exchanged glances.

”I wonder where Rudy is…” Maria took out her phone.

”What are you doing?” Rudy asked and snatched the phone from Maria.

”I am calling him.”

”He told us that he has something important to do. Why do you want to knowingly disturb him?”

”...”

”Besides, itʼs probably still midnight in Hel. I calculated the time and distance and it will take us 15 hours if we travel by boat. And Nine hours if we fly there. We are technically on the opposite side of the world right now.”

”But I am missing him…” She puckered her lips.

”Letʼs talk about him then.”

”Like what?”

”Werenʼt we talking about him all this time?”

”What do you think Rudy will do with the castle and the houses?” asked Angelica.

”Even the castle is too big for us. Let alone the hundreds of thousands of houses in this dynasty.”

”Maybe Rudy plans to turn those houses into a paradise for us,” whispered Maria, her eyes filled with excitement. ”Each of us will have our own luxurious mansion!”

Lilim tilted her head, a mischievous glint in her eyes. ”Oh, but what about this grand castle where we all live together, like a true harem?”

The suggestion sent waves of excitement and giggles throughout the room. The girls began imagining the grandeur of such a shared space, with lavish decorations, beautiful gardens, and rooms filled with laughter and joy.

But not everyone shared the same sentiment. Jane crossed her arms and spoke with a hint of skepticism. ”Do you really think Rudy would want us all under one roof? Perhaps he intends to give each of us our own private domain, where we can have our own space and freedom.”

Angelica, who had always been fiercely loyal to Rudy, defended him with determination. ”No, youʼre wrong. Rudy cherishes us all equally. Iʼm sure he wants us to live together, to foster a sense of unity and love. Itʼs what makes our harem special.”

As the discussion continued, different opinions emerged, reflecting the diverse personalities and desires of the girls. Some yearned for privacy and independence, while others embraced the idea of a close-knit community within the castle walls.

Just as the debates grew heated, the girls all turned to the balcony and stared at each otherʼs faces.

They could hear something from far away.

”Whatʼs that noise?” Ruby was the one to ask as she wasnʼt experienced with such stuff and she freaked out.

As the sun rose above the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the horizon, the air crackled with anticipation. The harem stood together on the grand balcony of the enormous castle, their eyes fixed on the vast expanse before them.

Rudy, the savior, emerged at the forefront, his presence commanding and his aura pulsating with power. Behind him, a tide of liberated human test subjects and mythical beings surged forward, their faces radiant with newfound freedom and hope. The air crackled with anticipation as they approached the heart of the kingdom, their collective footsteps echoing with a resounding rhythm.

The inhabitants of the dynasty, the harem that stood by the balcony and the UnderBlades soldiers, lined the streets, their eyes wide with awe and admiration. They had heard tales of Rudyʼs heroics, but to witness his triumph firsthand was an experience that surpassed all expectations.

As Rudy strode through the grand archways of the kingdom, the liberated beings followed in his wake, their eyes gleaming with gratitude and reverence. They had been rescued from the clutches of darkness, from a life of torment and oppression, and now they stood tall, their spirits lifted by the promise of a new beginning.

The kingdom itself seemed to come alive, vibrant banners fluttering in the breeze and music filling the air. The magnificent architecture and lush gardens stood as a testament to the glory and prosperity that awaited those who had suffered for far too long.

Cheers erupted from the crowd as Rudy ascended and hovered high in the sky, his every movement radiating confidence and power. UnderBlades, standing alongside the test subjects, could hardly contain their emotions, their hearts swelling with pride and admiration.

To the balcony, Rudyʼs gaze swept across the gathered multitude, his eyes locking with those of the harem. A knowing smile played on his lips, a silent acknowledgment of their unwavering support and devotion. In that instant, a connection forged through trials and triumphs pulsed between them, a bond that transcended words.

They were surely confused and didnʼt know what Rudy was planning. But since Rudy had brought them to his dynasty, they were curious.

Of course, they had many questions, but they werenʼt against the idea of the hundreds of thousands of humans and mythical beings living in the dynasty.

Out of all, they were the ones who wanted Rudy to have his own kingdom to Rule, to be a part of something the Lord was part of.
