Harem Building Incubus System - Chapter 23

Chapter 23






The woman wore a silver mask that kept her entire face hidden and only allowed the sight of her slit sky-blue eyes . She was dressed in a provocative crimson dress that stopped above her knees and fully revealed her long, enthralling legs while her heart-shaped neckband showcased her ample bosom .

Yet, in her presence, those attributes were often disregarded for the sake of the innate aura of grandeur that shrouded her form .

And even though she could not see her face and her long ink-like hairs wore no ornaments, Jasmine couldn't help but feel that this woman was the most beautiful she had ever met . That under the vast blue sky, she was unrivaled .

The woman's back faced the assassin duo who stared at her with a growing sense of terror .

"Could it be…"

They began, but with her back still facing them, they didn't dare make guesses . In fact, they didn't dare be right . Even the eunuch whose arm had been lopped off and whose mangled face still dripped blood, could pay no attention to the pain . His eyes were solely focused on that woman's back .

But hers were on Konrad who had already passed out and could no longer see any of the ongoing events . There was no warmth in those eyes . The only thing hidden within were mixtures of annoyance, frustration, and suspicion .

"Who are you?"

Asked Jasmine while clinging on Konrad's unconscious body .

But the woman gave her no answer .

"Konrad…"

She whispered gentleness flashed within her eyes, and she turned to face the assassins .

"Olrich's cruelty truly knows no bounds . Even sending two royal eunuchs to cripple his son . But while that has nothing to do with me, you've harmed someone I care for . Thus, I cannot spare you . "

The Holy Flame Emperor Olrich Von Jurgen had nine sons, but none were born from the Holy Empress . While legitimacy was never an issue for the children of the emperor, due to not being pure imperial descendants, they all de facto bore a stigma . In times like these, it was easier for a younger son to snatch the eldest's right to rule .

Wenzel may not have had any desire for the crown, but his mother, the Noble Imperial Consort Yvonne Voight, had a different opinion and had been relying on her father's support to build a faction for him . This caused the emperor to become wary of the Voight and what he now saw as their pawn within his house .





Alongside the Kvass and the Metze, the Voight were one of the three princely houses, and even the emperor had to treat them with courtesy . Thus, he dispatched two royal eunuchs to monitor Wenzel's actions and at the first opportunity, cripple him as a man to not only ruin his ability to compete for the crown but also obtain a secret that could be used to suppress the Voight's unruliness .

He didn't mind the news of Wenzel's "accident" being "secretly" spread . But for Yvonne whose status within the harem relied on her having a prince…that was another story .


As for the two royal eunuchs . They had navigated court politics for hundreds of years and knew well that there was a critical difference between having personally crippled an imperial prince and having arrived too late to stop it from happening . Therefore, they had been racking their brains to find a way to push Wenzel into his own destruction .

Never did they expect that he would do it on his own! Now they could execute that eunuch boy with great pomp and report the situation to the emperor .

At least that was the plan…

But when the woman turned to face them, they immediately dropped onto their knees!

"Your…your…we…his majesty…we co-couldn't…"

They stuttered . From the current situation, it wasn't hard to deduce that the eunuch had a deep connection to her! That being the case, they could only beg for mercy .

"Your grace…we didn't know…please…mercy…!"

"They say ignorance is bliss . I disagree . It is a crime all the same . One I punish by…death . "

In a seemingly ordinary walk that tempered with principles of space and time, she moved past the eunuchs and vanished from the scene .

They were astonished, thinking that ultimately, she was giving the emperor face and sparing them . But then a shocking scene appeared, and the two eunuchs saw their bodies quickly turn into dust . From their feet, all the way to their heads, until nothing of them remained within the world .

Jasmine stared slack-jawed at that awe-inspiring display of might .

"I hate nothing more than whiny women . If you want to keep him for yourself, why not fight for him? A woman should never be afraid of fighting for what she craves and snatching it…from whoever stands in her way . "





The red dressed woman's voice echoed within Jasmine's mind .

. . .

Konrad's eyes opened to an unfamiliar room with his chest and legs cleanly bandaged . The lilac scent permeating the air leading him to assume that this was a female's quarters .

"You've awakened . "

Jasmine's voice came from his right, and he turned toward her sitting form with an incredulous gaze .

"We're neither dead nor in a torture room?"

"Why should we be?"

She chuckled to his inquiry .

"I seem to recall us being in a hopeless situation . How is it that…"

Only then did the blurry silhouette he perceived before passing out return to his mind and his face contorted into a frown .

"I thought you would be the one enlightening me . Wasn't that woman a friend of yours?"

Konrad also wished to positively answer that question, but beside confusion, there was nothing he could offer . It wasn't difficult to realize that the mysterious woman was the one that warned him about Jasmine's crisis . But as for what connection she had to him, he could find none whatsoever .

His mind browsed through the previous body host's memories to seek an answer to those troubling issues, but nothing matched that figure .

Yet, he was convinced of their mysterious savior having something to do with the previous Konrad .

As for what exactly, only time would tell . And since no viable answer could be found, Konrad would not waste any more time on the issue .





"Forget it, being alive and well is all that matters . "

But then his eyes swept the perimeter and spotted the two other occupied beds in the vicinity .

"You brought me back to the maids' quarters? Isn't that illegal?"

"You also know that it is illegal? I thought the notion was foreign to you . "

"But what else could I do? I do not know where you live . And I could not abandon you . Fortunately, at this time of night, most people are sound asleep . "

In any case, as far as Konrad was concerned, the maid courtyards were no different than swimming pools . Keeping the situation under control required no effort .

"Still, I should take my leave . "

As his regeneration abilities had already mended his wounds, there was no significance in staying any longer .

But before he could stand up, Jasmine's firm gaze met his, and she stopped him by grabbing his shoulders .

"Thank you again for saving me . I don't know what would have happened without your interference . "

"That is only natural . I said it before, for the rest of your life, you can only be my woman . "

His categoric tone was too brazen for Jasmine to handle without a small blush . However, she didn't intend to let him go that easily .

"Me excluded, how many women do you currently have in your life?"

Konrad lifted his chin with his index while doing the quick math then replied .

"It really depends on the token you're assigning them . If you mean partners, I have thirteen . If you mean actual relationships, only one person potentially qualifies . "

That was the truth . At the current point of things, the women he had conquered could only be used to fill in the blanks . He felt no genuine attachment to them and crudely said, they could be labeled as dual cauldrons . Iliana was the only exception, but he had yet to seal that deal .

So to speak…

"Of course, that can change in the future . "

There were some promising seedlings among his recent conquests that could perhaps be given more prominent positions within the harem .

Meanwhile, Jasmine was speechless . How was it possible for a man to dally with so many women at the same time? Wasn't he afraid of early impotence?

"Huh, you really are a gaping hole . Anything can fit inside . "

Those words didn't have the same meaning within their minds .

Upon hearing them, Konrad's lips twitched, and an abundance of black lines appeared on his forehead .

Tolerate! A great man should be tolerant!

However, what followed almost caused him to lose balance and fall face-first .

"But for me, it's all but the same . Whether you only treat them as mere "partners" or have some budding feelings for them, it doesn't matter . "

"I will smash them all to pieces!"

Her fighting spirit soared, and her eyes burned with a fervor Konrad didn't know she possessed . A fervor that propelled his body temperature to dangerous heights and caused droplets of sweat to drench his forehead .

"I'm not sure I heard that right . You will what?"

"Smash them all! For far too long I've let myself get pushed left and right . It is time I take the reins of my life . And that begins by snatching you for myself, and showing you the wonders of monogamy while you lie broken under my skirt . "

"Also you're going to help me smash them by teaching me how to cultivate!"
