Chapter 167

Following the king's passing, the castle had laid quiet. Conspiracies spread like wildfire as the king's untimely death was brought into question. The young prince brought to the colossal seat of his father was temporarily made the king even though no amount of ceremony had crowned him as such just yet.

Beside him stood Avarice, the crimson eyes mono-doll who'd served him his entire life. Her eyes completely shut, she remained as an impartial adviser to the young prince as the hearing for his father's murder came to an end.

"This is stupid…" Whispered one councilman to the decree.

"Of course it is, and with the murderous prince as king there is no way the late king would see justice in his death." Whispered another.

The consensus throughout the council was the same as well. Nobody trusted the prince since he was the one benefiting the most from his father's death. But seeing their complaints as nothing more than jealousy, Zeil leaned back into the ivory throne with a massive smirk.

Staring down at the peasants, the nobles, and even his own sisters, he felt pride swelling within his chest as he felt superior to them all.

'They're jealous because of my talents and now that I have a title that matches my abilities, of course they wanna condemn me. But hell as if I'll let that happen.' Dismissing the council he forced the outsiders to return to their stations. The demi-human guards escorted them on his command, leaving his three sisters alone with him in the halls.

"Seems like they're all jealous," in an attempt to stroke her brother's ego, Amelia the eldest sister of the bunch played into Zeil's preconceptions. She knew exactly the way her brother thought, and in a situation like this, instead of reflecting on himself, he was bound to shift the blame to someone else. "But we know that our sweet brother would never do such a thing."

Sitting on her sides, the half-centaur woman fanned her tail from under her massive dark skirt. Quickly shifting her attention to her Arachne sister, her brutish brown eyes stared at her for a moment. Urging the demi-human girl of deep blue shade, she quickly turned her attention back to Zeil to leave Nessa to make her own decision.

'Ughh, sure I'll help him stroke his own dick!' Glancing at her blonde brother on the throne, Nessa stared into his eyes with every one of her own. Being an Arachne she had a pair of main eyes with an extra pair up and down, and just like her eyes, she had a pair of extra arms and a bubbly spider butt that was covered with a dark silk-woven dress.

"Don't listen to those peasants, young brother, they're all too naive and could never match your splendor!" Holding back the urge to vomit, Nessa kept smiling, her sapphire shade slowly turning slightly pale from the lying.

Done lying to her young brother, the demi-human girls turned to their youngest sister. A fair-skinned human with glistening emerald hair that was brimming with mana. Seated on the other end as the other two, she had her hands neatly folded and her lips curved in a smile. The duo expected her to do the same and praise their now king brother, but the girl remained silent.

"Aurora, don't you want to say something to your older brother?" Amelia urged, playfully flicking her ginger hair to the side despite the storm of anger bubbling up in her heart.

"Yeah, he's the new king you know?" Tugging her fox-fur shawl with her thin upper hands, Nessa plucked a lollipop out of her pocket and quickly popped it into her mouth. "Are you low on sugar honey? I can share one of my candies with you if you want."

Shifting her eyes to her brother, Aurora took a deep breath and instead of congratulating him, said something so bizarre that it left them baffled for minutes.

"Will you take me as your queen brother?" And silence lingered for minutes.

Though none of them were blood-related, they'd never expected one of them to try and make such a move on another, much less at a time when the situation was as tense as this.

"Aurora! What in the hell are you thinking?!" Getting off of her bed-like seat, Amelia growled at her sister.

"Have you gone insane, you wretch?!" Climbing out of her seat, Nessa rushed towards Aurora.

As for Zeil who was sitting on the throne, he was just as shocked if not more, but with Avarice's hand resting on his shoulder, he knew the maid didn't want him to jump into the argument just yet. Leaning closer to his ears, the mono-doll whispered into his ears.

"With you as king, they're obviously trying to win you over, but remember young prince, you've made your promise to make me your wife once the mess of a situation is over~" Reminding him of his promise, Avarice moved her hand behind his neck and gently began caressing his nape.

Feeling a tingle from her touch, his mind felt all fuzzy, all the while his sisters kept fighting over the suggestion Aurora had just made.

"And well, if it comes to it, a king can accept more wives than one, but the first one will always be special, right?" With those words, Avarice stood upright and clapped her hands to get everyone's attention.

"I apologize for breaking your conversation, but it's time for the prince's bath and I don't want him to miss anything in his schedule," grabbing Zeil by the hand, she pulled him out of the throne, his golden eyes still a bit dreamy from her sensual touch. "Isn't that right, my king?"

Wearing a fake smile, she stared up and down his small stature until he smiled back and nodded.

"And look, your clothes are so dirty already!" Lowering herself on her knees, she pretended to dust his pants when in reality she simply wanted to keep him on edge by running her soft fingers over his dick.

"Mhmmm~" He groaned right in front of his sisters, but before any of it registered in their heads, Avarice tugged on Zeil's hand and led him towards the bath.

"Avarice! Come to our room once you're done bathing him!" Screamed Amelia as the maid took her brother away. She as well as her sisters had a lot to discuss, especially about how the king died a lot earlier than they had expected.

'Must be this bitch's doing.' These were the thoughts of both Demi-human girls as they continued glaring at their human sister.

Aurora herself, however, suspected someone much closer to the king–the head maid, Grace–and Avarice, the mono-doll serving her brother, Zeil.
