Chapter 164:

Camille’s painstaking efforts were ultimately unsuccessful.

Camille did his best for Otto, leading Elise to a secluded place and bombarding her with a barrage of nonsense.

But at best, he could only buy twenty minutes of time.

“So where is my fiancé now?”

“His Highness is currently sleeping in his quarters.”

“Sir Camille.”

“Yes?”

“I applaud your efforts to protect my fiancé.”

“......!”

“But I know, my fiancé is in there.”

“Ah, Lady Elise.”

“I need to meet my fiancé.”

In the end, Camille failed to hold off Elise.

A mere five minutes.

Maybe a minute or two longer, and Otto would have been able to safely escape out of the harem....

Instead, Otto was forced to follow Elise like a cow being led to the slaughter.

Following Elise along the path.

‘What were you doing... why didn’t you stop her?’

Otto accused Camille with a glare.

‘Do something.’

‘I did everything I could, you know?’

‘Okay, what’s the use of blaming now? I’m already dead, so thanks for everything.’

Otto stopped communicating with Camille with his eyes and dropped his head.

Otto and Camille were taken to an eerie place.

“Sir Camille.”

Elise called out to Camille.

“Yes, Lady Elise.”

“Sir Camille, leave.”

There was no doubt that the implication behind the words was “if you don’t want to be fucked”.

“...Thank you.”

Camille bowed to Elise, then turned to walk away.

‘I did everything I could.’

No matter how much Camille was Otto’s knight, this was a matter between a man and a woman.

There was no more room, and no justification, to intervene.

‘....Like her, you should move on.’

He tried his best, even to the point of unintentionally bringing up painful memories.

‘She won’t actually kill you.’

Camille whispered in Otto’s ear as he walked away.

“Please clean things up quickly before it’s too late.”

“Do you think I can survive with that?”

“We can’t give up without even trying, can we?”

“Well, that’s true, but.”

“Please survive. That’s all I have to say.”

And with that, Camille walked away.

Of course, he wasn’t completely gone.

He hadn’t completely left, of course, but he hadn’t gone far enough away to intervene if there was any sign of bloodshed.

Not that it would stop Elise.

And so Camille left.

*Shudder*

Left alone and without backup, Otto shuddered, like a rabbit before a tiger.

“Fiancé.”

“Yes....”

“Did you have a good time in the Harem?”

*Shudder*

Left alone and without backup, Otto shuddered, like a rabbit before a tiger.

“Fiancé.”

“Yes....”

“Did you have a good time in the Harem?”

“N.... Nooo!”

Otto denied it fiercely.

And he really meant it.

In fact, if Abdul II hadn’t invited him, as per the Custom of Hospitality, he wouldn’t have gone to the Harem at all.

“Absolutely not! I would never have been distracted!”

“Is that so?”

“Please believe me!”

Otto begged, taking Camille’s counsel.

Though I didn’t kneel down to that extent, it wasn’t because Otto was an audacious person.

‘I feel so wronged! It’s unfair!’

Otto had his ‘reasons’.

He just prayed that Elise wouldn’t ‘misunderstand’ him.

*Heh*

30 minutes ago.

“Kekeke! Pansy! What a waste! Kekeke!”

Kairos mocked Otto as he was being dragged away by Elise.

“I hope you survive! Kahahaha! A man who can’t even move a finger against his fiancée! You’re also going to be a eunuch! Hahaha!”

Kairos mocked Otto to no end, complaining that he had once been bitten by a flower snake and had his life ruined.

In truth, he himself had led a stoic life that was far from debauchery, except for his heavy drinking.

“Keuuu! The liquor tastes good! mm!”

Kairos continued to drink, feeling better than he had in a long time.

He didn’t even bother to use mana to expel the alcoholic effects, not wanting to waste the intoxication.

“Argonne, you bastard, I’m in the Harem where you’ve never been! Are you jealous, Hahahha!”

And just like that, Kairos was surrounded by dozens of dancers, having a good time.

But only for a moment.

“...Hmph.”

Kairos suddenly grew sullen.

“What is the matter, senior?”

“Guic, Gwik Guii!”

Qasim, who had been beside him, playing a drinking game together, asked Kairos.

“Is something wrong?”

“What’s the matter!”

Kairos bellowed, seemingly unperturbed.

“I’m in a great mood today! What could possibly be wrong!”

“You don’t look well.”

“What’s wrong with my face! Shut up! Drink! Drink!”

... but in truth, Kairos was sullen.

‘Tsk. I can’t get over you, you venomous bitch. Why do you keep tormenting my mind?’

Though he claimed to have gotten over it, Kairos was still bitter about the end of Beatrice.

The woman he’d loved all his life was actually a flower snake, and she’d come back to life to commit evil again.

It was a great psychological pain that Kairos, a staunch purist, could not easily shake off.

Although he did manage to thoroughly destroy Beatrice.

‘Why is my life so miserable, Why, no! No, No, This is not what I deserve! I must have more fun! More fun!’

The thought made Kairos chuckle harder, talk louder, and consume more alcohol.

Then.

“I’m going to go to the restroom.”

Kairos suddenly felt the need to relieve himself and went to the restroom.

The harem restrooms were immaculate, with rows and rows of pure white porcelain urinals.

Also, there were no women’s restrooms, only men’s.

It didn’t even register with Kairos, who was almost completely drunk.

*Slooooosh!*

Standing there, relieving himself.

“Hmm?”

Kairos stiffened at the bizarre sight.

“W-Why are you here, this is the men’s restroom?”

The dancer Kairos had been drinking with earlier was peeing in the urinal right next to him.

By the way.

“Huh?”

Something was wrong.

‘Wh-Why is there a dick in there?!’

When he glanced over, he saw an ugly “thing” hanging from her lower body.

*SPLAAASSH!!*

Something huge.

*Shake* *Shake*

That ‘something’ that is shaking.

*Shoot!*

Even the pissing thing was more powerful than Kairos.

‘What did I just see? Am I really that drunk?

Kairos panicked and expelled all the alcohol in his system.

The first thing he needed to do was sober up.

*Whoosh!*

The alcoholic essence gushed out of Kairos’ body like a mist sprayer.

“What the...?”

Only when he sobered up did he see the restroom in detail.

He looked around and saw that the restroom was full of dancers.

They were looking in the mirror, retouching their makeup, and talking amongst themselves, but they all had one thing in common.

*Shoot!*

The dancers were using the urinals, and they all had something hanging from their lower body.

‘If I look closely, they’re all tall, with big hands and feet, and very small breasts... Huuk!’

That means......

“Holy shit, they’re all cross-dressers!”

Kairos suddenly realized the ‘truth’ of the Harem.
