Extra's Harem: Invincibility Starts with Marriage and lots of Children-Chapter 90 - Game of Chess

'!?!'

'....' Olea stood there, suddenly feeling the sour manifestation rushing out of the king as the whole room became filled with dense Qi.

The internal energy went rampant, with the Qi within his body acting as a catalyst, increasing the level of internal energy around the room, clearly making it suffocating for anyone. Yet, she covered her upper body with Qi to preserve herself.

However, seeing such a reaction from the king—whom she hated to court—while he was not even hiding his intentions, clearly showing his open hostility towards the Ghost Sect, caused her hands to clench in invisible frustration.

Her jaw was clenched, and her purple eyes shone with burning determination to take revenge on this man. Yet, in that moment, she found herself feeling insignificant.

He was definitely at the 7th Layer, yet the power difference between him and the princess was enormous, as if the sub-levels within the seventh layer had a difference between sky and heaven.

'Why is he not showing his 8th layer aura?' On the other hand, Aleriana, who was aware of the secret of the king's overall power, could not help but find it suspicious.

Though she remained unfazed, her eyes noticed how he remained seated this whole time, clearly allowing her to perceive that there was a different energy signature aura around his legs, as if it was not part of his body—but she ignored it.

His choice to not clearly show his complete strength made it evident that he did not want to intimidate them; he was just trying to anger Olea and frustrate her.

However, it was clear that Olea herself was in control, clearly aware of the weight of her actions, as she stood there just looking towards the king in a way that made the princess at least understand that she would not act recklessly.

"Your Majesty, I brought her here because she saved my life," Aleriana said, looking firmly towards the king. Given her elevated strength, she had just accelerated the pace of her overall plans, where she had previously thought that once she reached certain levels of power, she would target some particular individuals.

And now was the time, as she had reached the seventh layer.

With Olea's presence and her elevated strength, it would be easy for them to get rid of some pests in her target list.

"What? She saved your life?" the king said, narrowing his gaze, leaning forward with his elbow supporting his chin, smirking clearly, amused by her lies.

He found it amusing yet somewhat supportive, as he wanted to see her intentions and ask, "How exactly?"

There was amusement in his gaze as he propped back, holding his hands while looking towards Aleriana, trying to discern what she wanted to do now, after remaining quiet for some time.

"I was attacked by the members of the Exorcism Sect," Aleriana declared, her eyes trailing towards the poor dead bodies, which came to her like a blessing in disguise, giving her enough excuse to target the organization she had been eying for quite a while.

'Hahaha.... So, the Exorcism Sect, huh?' the king laughed inwardly, his head turning towards the ceiling as he realized that this girl's target this time was one of her brother's major supports or backers.

'How did the princess get these bodies?' Olea, who clearly did not sense any individuals of such affiliation in the princess's palace beforehand, looked towards the freshness of the dead bodies.

She felt confused about how these people had infiltrated the palace without being noticed by her side.

'This?' But suddenly, her gaze noticed something peculiar about those four dead bodies. There were no wounds, no poisoning marks, or any abnormalities.

They were just dead, making her recall a particular trend from her memories, which became a surprise to her.

'Kyl Arcutus, why did he kill his own guards?' Olea recalled how, when the princess had sent her to escort Kyle back to the capital city, she had informed her about the Exorcism Sect people backing him up.

But here, seeing the cause of death of these people clearly indicated that Kyle himself had caused it, making her confused as to why he would kill his own people.

However, that was not the only thing. Given she did not sense anyone from the Exorcism Sect entering the capital city along with Kyle, yet the freshness of their dead bodies led her to conclude that they were killed even before she went to escort him and that somehow their dead bodies had been preserved.

'Did he?' At that moment, another realization dawned on her; maybe just like how he had revealed two unsolvable secrets—first, him killing people so easily and then increasing the princess's strength—it was not impossible for him to have a way to preserve dead bodies too.

But given it was not that significant, she focused on the princess, looking at her as she realized that it appeared the princess would not break her alliance with the Ghost Sect, as she was clearly trying to target the Exorcism Sect, which was their arch-enemy.

"What?! How is this possible, Princess?!" The minister who was within the room was clearly flabbergasted.

Considering his intel, he recognized that these four in particular were assigned by the Arcutus family to Kyle Arcutus when he was banished in the northern territories at a young age.

Yet, he did not bring it up, considering the king also seemed nonchalant about it. Still, he could not see an innocent sect being targeted by royalty.

After all, as the strategist and a scholar of political affairs, he did not want the king to take action against a sect as per the prince's intentions and create a civil war, which could be inevitable given the retaliations from the aristocracy if the royal family took action against the Exorcism Sect.

He was sure the king would take action because he knew the princess well; he was aware that she was most probably prepared when she came here with all the necessary information, so chances of her demanding punishment for the Exorcism Sect were inevitable.

"Did I tell you to speak?" the king said, giving a side glance to his aide, causing him to bow at a 90-degree angle while trembling and apologizing, considering that even though he was a mortal, his body remained unscathed by the king's aura as he had protected him.

"So, you want me to punish the Exorcism Sect?" the king felt curious yet disappointed, seeing through his little girl's intentions of using this pretext to make him punish the Exorcism Sect, given that just the attack from random members of the sect did not violate any rules, making it a baseless reason to punish a whole sect.

Following through with her wishes made him feel that she was still a child and naïve.

"No, I just want you to summon the Elders of the Exorcism Sect today for a simple warning," Aleriana said, narrowing her gaze as if playing a game of chess, moving her pieces forward, clearly showing her intentions were different from just punishing the Exorcism Sect.

Again, it was baseless, as assassination attempts were normal, and a whole organization was not punished for such actions, but her intention was not to involve the royal family but to use them for her own gain.

"Huh?" The king's eyes flickered with surprise as he shook his head, realizing that from the start, this girl's intention was not to have some childish demands, causing him to laugh out loud, "Hahaha, that's amusing. Fine, I will do that."
