Chapter 5392: Dealing With The Council

Davis finally arrived in the Harem Council amidst numerous pairs of eyes staring daggers at him, demanding an explanation with their gaze alone. It was one thing if he told them and brought Frostrose in, but to have it outside the bounds of their harem was not respectable!

If he was going to do that, why should the council exist?

Why play this farce?

They hoped he had a good explanation.

"What took you so long?"

Evelynn asked in a hushed voice, even though she had sent him a soul transmission.

"I’ve stumbled upon a problem." Davis smiled wryly, "Our Head Maid is sick."

"What!?" Shirley flinched, her smiling expression receded with shock as she shot a look at Davis.

She was complacent, thinking everything was going well today, but it turned out to be different?

"How can that be?" Ellia raised her brows, "Esvele was healthy the last time I saw her, just a few hours ago. How can she be sick?"

Davis shook his head, "It’s not what you all think, but in any case, I have brought Jillian Hayden to look at her."

"...!"

Shirley, Ellia, and a few others became alarmed. Even Zenova narrowed her eyes.

For Davis to bring a Poison Apothecary to check Esvele, was she poisoned? By whom?

It must be known that for a Head Maid who had control over some formations to be poisoned means that the security of the household was already undermined. However, Davis looked quite casual, confusing them.

He waved his hand, "Don’t worry, Shirley. She’s sick, but her health isn’t affected, and there’s no immediate danger. You’ll know why soon."

Shirley’s crimson brows narrowed. She blinked, contemplating for two seconds before her eyes went wide, "Is this related to the change in her behavior in recent years?"

"Sharp as ever, my lovely princess." Davis praised her.

Shirley exclaimed, "My goodness, you finally found the source of the problem. Your Saintly abilities have improved beyond compare. How amazing! And... thank you... I don’t know what to say. I mean, I didn’t want to say it, but I felt like I had lost my junior sister with how she doesn’t respond to my teasing anymore. How did you find it?~"

"Hehem." Davis’s expression nearly changed, but he coughed, "We’ll deal with it later. I have to address the elephant in the room, no?"

"Yes, husband, you went too far." Niera echoed.

’Niera, my voice of reason...!’

Davis smilingly cast a look at her.

"Mmph~" Zenova harrumphed amusedly. She cast a side eye at Niera, "What do you mean our Emperor went too far? This was rather tame for him. He deserves to have fun outside, or are you saying a man who has saved quadrillions or beyond can’t even reward himself outside of what he already has a bit?"

"Zenova, you be quiet, or I’ll beat you up after you give birth." Isabella raised her hand.

"..."

Zenova giggled silently as she looked away.

For her, it was always funny to cause them to rage. They were even polite about the retaliation, saying they would do things after she gave birth, and until then, she was a sacred being or something of that caliber. She also couldn’t wait to challenge them after giving birth.

"We’ve heard that Big sister Evelynn already knows about your affair with Frostrose, but you have hidden it from everyone else. If you had done this for a short time, I can understand, but it took you this long to inform us? Why?"

Niera asked boldly, her expression calm and mature.

Everyone turned to look at her with some surprise. She was so bold.

However, her boldness wasn’t anything new to Davis. He digged it.

His Niera looked like a villainess but was a kind and gentle soul. However, her battle instincts were one of the best he had ever seen.

Davis kept a soft smile and answered.

"To be honest, I wanted the excitement of having a woman outside. However, I never intended to leave Frostrose alone. I wanted to bring her back, but never got her to agree. She constantly rejected my invitations, and I fell into the trap of having a mistress for some time, and the worst thing was that I craved that taboo feeling. We didn’t meet much, but that doesn’t take the accountability off of me. I have no excuses to offer. Punish me as the Harem Council pleases."

Davis’s tone suddenly turned solemn at the end and continued with a flick of his sleeve, "Don’t think I’m above the rules of the Harem Council. I’m willing to be bound."

"..."

Niera and the others’ gazes flickered.

His tone was so sincere that they couldn’t find any fault. His story was flawless too. How could they bear to punish him?

He was supposed to be rewarded anyway. However, the way he went about it was not appreciated within the Harem Council. But now, he said he was willing to be bound by rules. That alone soothed their hearts.

’Tch, this rogue... look at him instantly cow them with his sweet talk...’ Mingzhi, who was much more wary of Heart Intent, was amused.

Naturally, she could tell he didn’t use Heart Intent, but that didn’t mean Heart Intent users didn’t know how to manipulate the heart.

However, she was also impressed.

That one sentence, ’I’m willing to be bound’, worked wonders.

Davis inwardly thanked Esvele for giving him a wonderful statement. Even he could tell it worked wonders.

Mingzhi blew a strand of hair off her face.

"Punishment aside, did you know that Frostrose and Flamerose promised themselves to marry the same man? You must’ve heard Flamerose revolting. Unable to stay here because of embarrassment after her outburst, she stormed off, and Frostrose followed after her. How are you going to deal with this?"

Davis nodded and then looked up.

"Stella..."

"Aye-aye, my Emperor~"

A voice echoed from the void. The peeper tree was nearly always watching. She loved to watch humans go about their lives, but she loved watching them even more. Perhaps she already knew about his fiasco with Esvele.

Regardless, she responded to his call like a faithful pirate fairy as a spatial vortex opened within the Harem Council and suddenly dropped two women.

"Ah!~"

Flamerose landed on the ground on her butt, and Frostrose landed gently. They gazed around and saw that they were back in the Harem Council, but this time around, Davis was also here.

"Hehe~" Stella’s giggle echoed faintly.

No one could escape from her as long as they were in her sanctuary unless they wanted to resist firmly.

"...!’

Flamerose’s scarlet-golden aura surged when she saw Davis.

She stood up and pointed at him, "Divine Emperor of Death, you dare take advantage of my little twin sister and steal her from me? You must be courting death!"
