Reborn as a Leader: King's Debauchery, SSS-Yandere Harem and Evolution-Chapter 39 - Artifact of Pure Bloodline

"Kill him." She spoke with her mind on autopilot as she recalled the memories from a few hours ago, reflecting on those angry moments.

"Huh?"

"I—I mean, why do you think I should help you?" Astarra was clearly determined to teach him a lesson, but realizing that what she had just uttered changed her words, she calmed herself.

He interrupted her and further added, "Queen, we both know we will not live long."

Akhil, even though he was aware of the future in which they would inevitably face death at the hands of demons, was also focused on the present circumstances.

Her brother, holding the position of Duke, would soon establish his complete dominance over the elders and the remaining decision-making body of the Duchy.

Afterward, he would again try to assassinate her, and he would also be targeted by those from the Empire.

So, it was clear that they both needed each other’s support to survive.

"....." Astarra, even though clearly angered, knew very well about her situation.

It was evident that, due to her own ego, she had neglected several things happening in this kingdom, judging this crown prince not based on his skills but rather on pure bloodlines.

The ego war had depleted the whole kingdom to this state where she herself was not safe.

In the end, whenever he made a decision, she always tried to take one against it, clearly creating hurdles in his path.

Composing her mind as she pushed his actions to the back of her mind, though not forgiving, she gestured for the cloaked woman to leave him as she retreated. Astarra then further inquired with her eyes narrowed and arms folded, "What is your plan?"

Akhil stood and dusted off his clothes before looking at her as both of their eyes met.

His golden eyes slightly attracted her gaze as she found them different from his natural black ones, appearing similar to her own yellowish ones—proof of her royal bloodline. But she ignored it, waiting for his answer.

"Queen Astarra, do you know why your Dominion is not working on me?" Akhil kept his eyes focused on her, waiting for her reply.

".....You knew," Astarra closed her eyes, realizing that he was already aware that her dominion wasn’t working on him as she made her way toward a mirror, taking a seat as the cloaked woman arrived before combing her hair while drying it.

’A speed type,’ Akhil on the other hand noticed the particular hand movement from that cloaked woman as the speed of her hand movement was clearly drying the hair of Queen Astarra, making him understand the reason why that woman seemed fast was because her artifact was a speed type.

Of course, to make sure of it, he also used the system to see her status.

’So, it can work like this too,’ Akhil, allowing the window in front, could clearly see that the woman in front of him possessed a wisp tier artifact which in itself made her strong enough to hold enough strength to stand against him while at the same time against Astarra as both of them were in much lower tiers than her.

Of course, he didn’t count the Holy staff he got from the priest as it was not an attack type but a support type artifact.

"Tell me, why didn’t it work?" Astarra inquired, while her mouth twitched, considering through the mirror, she noticed his gaze fixed on the cloaked woman, clearly following the direction of his slightly lower caged senior.

He was looking at that woman’s butt, making her close her eyes, with hands tightening over each other.

She understood that he was the biggest lecherous person she had ever seen until now.

Let alone her, he wasn’t even leaving a fully covered woman.

"Give me just a minute," Akhil, observing the time through the system, came to know that the cooldown for his artifact, which was half an hour, was just about to get over and practically, what could be better than a practical demonstration rather than theoretical?

Soon enough, as the cooldown time relaxed, he looked in her direction and activated his Eye of Charm.

Though it was to demonstrate him possessing the artifact, he also wanted to see exactly what effect the artifact would have on her.

’!’

"YOU!?"

Akhil suddenly blinked as he saw her standing up, looking at him in clear bewilderment, eyes widened as she was shocked, considering the speed at which she stood led the towel to slide down and fall on the floor, and naturally, his pupils followed the fall and looked at the same sight he had witnessed before.

"Y-your Majesty—?!" The cloaked woman was also surprised as she swiftly tried to lift the towel as she saw Astarra sprinting towards Lysanderic, her steps already catching up to her, but Astarra just ignored the towel in her hand as she arrived near after stretching her both hands.

"W-what?—W-wait?!" Akhil was also taken aback, standing from the sofa as before completing his sentence found his eyes widening forcibly by her fingers as they widened them, opening his eyes wide to look within.

"How do you have my mother’s artifacts?!" Astarra was clearly shocked as the moment she felt a dominion being filled with the same mind-related ability sourced from Lysandric.

It didn’t take her long to feel the familiarity of the artifact used upon her. With her eyes glinting gold, it was clearly the same one possessed by her mother, leading her to confirm it firsthand.

’What?’ Akhil, with his eyes widened in shock at her expression, clearly understood that this artifact, which he had extracted from her, originally belonged to her mother, likely due to bloodline purity.

[Host, Tell her that your father had once went to Empire (⁠~⁠￣⁠³⁠￣⁠)⁠~]
