“This is Gloria Flick with you again on this private stream!” Gloria said to the camera. “Behind me is the infamous White mansion!” she added as the cameraman zoomed behind her to the grand mansion surrounded by tall trees.

ANONYMOUS 1024: OHH.... IT’S ON!

ANONYMOUS 9234: WE MISS YOU GLORIA!

ANONYMOUS 0: LAST WEEK, LOOK IT UP...

ANONYMOUS 7712: WAH! ARE THOSE FOR REAL?

ANONYMOUS 0: YAH, WE NEED TO THANK YOUNG MASTER VICTOR FOR THE TREAT!

Gloria silently cursed as she read the comments feed. She decided to ignore them and continued to talk. This was her last chance for a good report or she would truly get fired and would have to really start showing of her boobs to put food on her table.

“This mansion has some really dark history! According to my confirmed sources, it was built by the nefarious gangster Nick White to be his base of operation, but he was killed in an accident and his cousin... or brother... we don’t really know... Anyway, Victor white Inherited this mansion and used it as his base ever since!” Gloria said as the cameraman focused on her again.

“Now, as you all know, the last time I was here, we were kicked out by the stupid guards and I was even molested by Victor! And despite it being on camera, the police refused to intervene!” she said in a strange tone, seemingly still holding a grudge.

ANONYMOUS 4222: WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE?

ANONYMOUS 145: SHE IS DEFINITELY HUNTING FOR A HUSBAND

ANONYMOUS 7344: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

ANONYMOUS 0: SHOW US YOUR BOOBS!

“Today, we bought a new drone, and we intend to try to investigate the shady things happening inside!” she said, ignoring the inappropriate comments.

ANONYMOUS 2311: ISN'T THAT A CRIME?

ANONYMOUS 1024: PROBABLY....

ANONYMOUS 5121: DEFINITELY!

ANONYMOUS 2311: ABOVE, YOU ARE AN IDIOT... SHE WILL GO TO WOMEN'S PRISON!

ANONYMOUS 5101: WHO SAID I AM A WOMAN?

“Don’t worry, it is not a crime... We would not physically be there, This is just journalism!” Gloria said affirmatively. She was walking on some very shaky legal grounds here, but if this report managed to discover something big, she wouldn't mind spending a year or two in prison!

...

Harper sighed. Despite this, the emperor’s group being some of the weirdest people she had seen, she was thankful she met them. This dungeon was not a place some naked semi-player could survive on her own!

After she was scammed into signing that stupid contract eight days had passed in the blink of an eye.

The emperor was a very strange and mysterious person.

Most of the time, after giving her and the others some tasks to do, he would sit by himself, writing in his diary while stopping to laugh every once in a while. Other times when they were walking through the forest, he would make sure to explain many random things to her and the others... Things they didn’t ask about like demons and souls.

Although she thought he was talking nonsense at first, from the way Juicy began to ask him some very specific questions, Harper realized that he was probably telling the truth.

This world had demons that stole people’s bodies!

Vic definitely belonged to some very noble family. Harper could tell from the way he held himself, talked, and ate his food. And she could easily tell that his arrogant bravado was fake, as he slipped sometimes... The only thing she didn’t know was why he was doing this. He didn’t need to.

Not only was he smart, reliable, and well-educated. He was very strong. Other than killing those monsters that were found around the fruit trees in one strike, he had some strange skills.

Yesterday, their group was attacked by some strange men. Unlike the ones who attacked her, they were dressed lightly and had tan skins.

After Vic talked to them in some strange language, they began screaming at him, so he just shook his head and started killing them.

They didn’t stand a chance and it was a one-sided massacre. Even Juicy, who was prepared to join the fight, didn't get a chance.

“Don’t worry... The fruits this emperor had been giving you were all fake. They are normal fruits that were disguised as the moon fruit to scam the ones behind this place!” he said, making a few moon fruits appear in his hands before transforming them to their original shapes, peaches, and apples. “A real dungeon system would never be fooled...” he added.

“Ahh....” Harper was shocked. She opened her mouth not knowing what to say as she watched him eat one of the apples.

“Why are you... Your Highness telling me this?” Harper asked after a few moments.

“Simple... Unlike Liam or Juicy, I have a plan for you after leaving this place....”

“So you already know how to safely leave?” she asked.

“Yes... Don’t worry about such minor details, you just need to relax and watch the show later....” he said chuckling. “This place’s scheme is already doomed to fail...”

“So, what do you want from me?”

“Well, let me tell you something first... After exiting this place, you are going to be captured and sent to Victor... Even if you are good at running away, the noble families are not that easy to fool!” he said.

“But...”

“The only reason you are still free is that Victor has too many things to take care of at the moment!” he said. “He has no time to take care of some random runaway bride! Damn, he didn’t even have time to enjoy his honeymoon!” he said.

“How do you know that?” she asked warily.

“The organization this emperor works for is already spying on most of the world’s powers... Of course, I knew many things about someone as important as Victor Von Weise... He is in the center of so many schemes that I am surprised he managed to live to this day!” he said.

“What organization?” Harper asked.

“This emperor can’t just tell you that...” he said, looking at her with his golden eyes. “But what you need to know is that in 20 years or so, this world would face a cataclysm... Many people will die. Our organization has one goal, and to control the world after!” he added.

“... And what is your role in this organization?”

“This emperor is meant to be the emperor they choose to rule this world!” he said simply.

“Oh...” she opened her eyes and looked at him, finally realizing the secret behind all that emperor bullshit. “You want me to join your organization in exchange for letting Victor leave me alone?” she asked.

“Yes... but not exactly... You are not strong enough” he said, stepping forward until he was close to her. “I want you to marry me and be my imperial concubine!” he said with a smug smile as he grabbed her hand and put a ring on her finger.

“WA A WHAAAT...” She quickly stepped back. “I refuse!” she yelled as she took the ring and threw it away immediately as if she were allergic to it.

“Wow... That was so direct...” he said, a little surprised.

“I might be your maid now, but we made a deal... I will not marry!” she said directly, blushing a little.

“Fine then... Then go fetch me that ring... It was an A-ranked storage ring. If you lost it you would have to pay for it...”

“Ah.... What? You pushed it into my finger!”

“Yes... Now go get it, if it was lost, you would have to work as this emperor’s slave until you pay its price!” he said, taking out the contract and pointing at one of its clauses.

“Ah...” she quickly ran to where the ring fell... It was no longer there...

Harper bent down and began to search for it. After scurrying around the bushes for an entire 15 minutes she found nothing.

“Maybe one of the rabbits took it...” the emperor said as he put his hand under his chin, apparently thinking.

“You took it didn’t you?” She asked as she stood up, turned around, and glared at him... She knew he was toying with her, but she had no way to refute him. She hated being this weak!

“How could this one be this heartless?” he asked as if he was hurt. “If you accept this emperor’s proposal... That would mean the ring was yours all along... You would not have to pay me for it...” he said, flashing her a bright smile.

“...” She just ignored him and decided to walk back to their campsite.

“Decide quickly...” he said. “If by the time we retired, you didn’t make up your mind, this emperor would start treating you as a slave... The clause about not Violating you would be invalid...” he said... She could tell he was being serious.

“I... I..... I will just be your fiancee for now...” she said in an angry tone while blushing a little as she walked past him, not daring to look back. She just has to find a way to repay him and escape this marriage....

The next moment she felt a pull at her hand, and she was dragged forcibly back into a warm embrace.... Then she felt something soft touch her lips... he was kissing her!

“Ah...” she wanted to resist, but she couldn’t escape his firm grasp. Remembering what she said earlier she decided to just let him do it. She would consider it as being bitten by a dog...

And it went on and on...

On and on...

Every time she thought it would end, it would go longer...

By the time he let go of her, she could only look blankly at him, wanting more. She was not really reluctant as she could hear her heart beating through her ears... She had never kissed before, but she could tell that this kiss was too fucking good! And his lips tasted amazing!

She could swear she felt her blood boil there for a second!

“Now you are officially my fiancee!” he said with a bright smile as he took her hand and put the ring on her finger again.

“AHH!! YOU BASTARD!” she said as she looked at him and then at the ring on her finger with shock.

“You already agreed... The contract clearly states that you can’t go back on your words with me!” he said as he turned around and began to walk back to the camp, totally ignoring her. “Make sure to not lose that ring...” he added, making her gasp then stomp her foot to the ground then quickly follow him.

“Will you trick Juicy too?” she asked after a few minutes of silence. “Is she the empress or something like that?” she added sarcastically.

“No... Juicy is not cute enough... And the empress is someone even this emperor has to fear, so make sure not to anger her when you enter the harem...” he said.

“Who will enter your fucking harem!” she scolded as she thought of a way to escape this fucking situation... Maybe she should try and escape to some other continent...

“We will see about that....” he said, shaking his head. “Scions... So fucking troublesome...” he added in a low voice that didn’t escape Harper’s sensitive ears... What did he mean?
